German Waiter FizzIes
Out With the "Zu-SChIag"

The German waiter is ruined, ac-
cording to both hotel keepers and
guests. He will never again recover
his dominating positions as the at
tentive humble German waiter in
all parts Of the world.
The "zu-schlag" did it.
Nobody is to blame, but the Ger.
man waiter himself, for he created
the "zu-schlag," in Berlin, in the
schlag" is a 20 per cent tax added to
your bill in hotels to cover service
and to abolish tipping.
The "zu-schlag" is an automatical-
ly extracted tip, of pretty large pro-
portions. The hotels don't like it,
but the walters went on strike and
demanded it, and the demand became
a law.
With the coming of the 'zu-schlag'
came the disappearance of service
from the servants who overnight
changed from attentive, tip-seduc-
ing individuals to Bolsheviks in the
business, who cared not whether or
not guests were satisfied. ..
Both guests and hotel managers
unite in declaring that the German.
waiter is another institution ruined
by the SO-called revolution.

The following statements in Judge
G. H. Towards charge to the grand
jury at the opening of the spring
term of Muscogee superior court at
Columbus. Ga, have caused some
thing of a sensation here:
Il have heard that two men in
Columbus, you have heard it, too,
many times too wise to expose them
selves by any criminal act, have
financed and encouraged scores of
weaker and less fortunate men In
the liquor peddling business. and
have given many Of these unfortu-
nate men passports to the changing
while they blandly smiled and en-
joyed the money washed by the tears
Of the families of their victims
Such a man is guilty under the law.
Proof is all that men need to fur
nish.
IF there were man in Column
bus supposed to be a professional
criminal along other lines, who was
sending week after week and month
after month weaker victims to the
changing as his substitutes, cit1-
zens would capture him, and the
time has now come when these two
must engage in some decent and
respectable business. Sentiment now
is strong to frown upon even the

When the Thirty-ffth division re-
turned recently to. Topeka, Kan, one
of the flags flying in welcome to
the veterans of the world war was
an old flag made in the early SOS.
The sewer had not quite completed
the task of putting on the stars when
on Fort Sumter; but without waiting
to finish the work, she hurried into
the front yard and ran the flag up.
When her husband went to war,
he carried the flag with him and kept
it until near the end, when he was
captured and taken to the Confed-
crate prison at Fort Tyler. The flag
was then sent back to his wife, and
at the close of the war she carried
it in the peace parade.
Ever since when the nation has
been at war, the old flag has been
raised.
