Brothers Meet After
20 Years Separation

A reunion of brothers after being
separated for twenty years occurred
Wednesday morning in the drug store
Of w. L. Ebbett, on Lee street, in
Oakland City.
In the; fall of 1898, w. S. Ebbett
and his brother. Frank Ebbett, came
to Atlanta from the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. w. S. settled in Atlanta,
while Frank drifted west. Since that
time the brothers had never set eyes
upon each other until Wednesday
morning.
After buying a soft drink and a
cigar from his brother, Frank re-
vealed his identity, taking w. S.
completely by surprise. "Why, I'd
never have known him, he's changed
so much since he left Atlanta in 'Oc-
tober, 1898, unless he had revealed
his identity"
Frank Ebbett resides in Chicago,
whereShe is an attorney for the Anti
Saloon league. He will spend several
days in Atlanta with his brother be-
fore returning home.

Aliens Ulcerine Salve is one of the Oldest
remedies in America, and since 1869 has been
known as the only salve powerful enough to
reach chronic ulcers and old sores Of long

Speeding BattIeships
TO>Be Used as NaVV Taruets

WASHINGTON, D. C.-American
bluejackets will be given an oppor-
tunity to test their craftsmanship on
real battleships steaming at full
speed under actual battle conditions.
if plans now being worked out at the
navy department materialize The
bureau of ordnance it was learned
today, contemplates taking several
obsolete ships to the target range
and using them for targets moving
at full speed. The target ships would
be steered by an electrical distant
control system, probably from an
aeroplanc or other vessel.
In this manner the battleships
could be maneuvered under condi-
tons approXimating those of battle.
Smoke screens would be interposed
between the target and the fleet to
simulate a d e rover m o k e
screen. Ordnance officers believe
the experiment will provide the gun
ners with the most valuable target
practice system ever used by any
navy.

Rupture" Why? Because the unfortun-

Are you neglecting yourself by wearing a
truss, appliance, or whatever name You
choose to call it? At best. the truss is
only a makeshift--a false prop against a
collapsing wall--and cannot be expected TO
act as more than a mere mechanical sup
port. The binding pressure retards blood
circulation, thus robbing the weakened
muscles of thGt which they need most
nourishment.
But science has found a way, and every

Picture Bought for Quart

PITTSBURG, Pa.-The back room
of Fritz Ueberles north side saloon
may hold a fortune which was pur-
chased for quart of whisky five
years ago.
The fortune" is in the form of
tourteen-foot art panel believed to
be by Jean Honore Fragonard, for
whose panels both Frick and Morgan
paid large sums. Professor E. r.
Savage, of the Carnegie Institute of
Technology, has pronounced it the
work of Fragonard, but lest his judg-
ment be wrong he has asked a num-
Der of his contemporaries also to
pass judgment.
1t is called the "Campieque
Bargue" and in one corner the name
of Fragonard is woven into the tap
estry. The tapestry formerly hung
back of the bar in the Hotel Antler,
which went out of business five

SUIT BY LIQUOR MEN

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Lawyers
representing large liquor interests in
New York intimated today civil ac-
ton again against the United States
might be the next step in the fight
against prohibition and that compen-
sation for losses estimated at $780,
100000 would be sought. The lawyers
asserted the decision of the supreme
court. virtually confscated the 1iquor
held here.
Local banking circles will be but
little affected by the courts decision,
it was said. Large loans were out
standing on warehouse receipts
earlier in the year, but nearly all
have been liquidated in recent
months.
The dismay with which the liquor
trade received the news yesterday
increased today. SO confident were
the vets that a favorable decision
would be handed down that prepara-
lions were complete for delivery of
thousands of dollars worth of liquor
at short notice. The dealers said it
would now be physically impossible
to ship the liquor in stock to for
eign countries before January 16.

EFFORT To REPEAL
WAR PROHIBITION
FAILS IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON.-An unfavorable
the war time prohibition law was
ordered by the house agricu1-
ture committee by a vote of 16 to g..
Representatives John T. Rainey,
Democrat of Illinois, and Voigt, of
Wisconsin, and Ward, of New York,
Republicans, cast the negative votes.
The only argument for the repeal
was made by Representative Rainey,
who urged wet" period until Jan
dry amendment becomes effective
so that the people of small means
might lay in a stock for medicinal
uses, and the government might get
$500, 100000 in revenue taxes.
'tSince the supreme court has de-
cided the wartime act is constitu-
tional. we must submit to the inevi-
table" said Mr.. Rainey, "but men of
wealth have laid in stocks to run
them for Years, and those of less
means should have some opportun-
ity."
Permission to institute original
proceedings to have the national pro-
hibition amendment declared uncon-
stitutiona1 and New Jersey and fed
era1 authorities enjoined from en-
forcing it, was asked of the supreme
court today by the Retail Liquor
Dealers association of New Jersey.
This was the first question as to
the validity of. the constitutional
amendment to reach the supreme
court. George w. Tucker, of New
York. presented the motion together
with a printed brief prepared by the
association, and the court will an
nounce later whether permission to
institute the suit will be granted.
