General" Grant,
Well-KnOwn Local
Man. Is I'LL

A familiar figure has been missed
the week past General George
washington Grant, the faithful care
taker at Saint Marks church Tor more
than 40 years, is reported Ill at MS
home on Bridge street. General Grant
came to Augusta when Saint Marks
parish worshipped in the wooden
building on State street. A true sense
of LOYALTY to duty combined with devo-
tionito church principles have, through
long years Of service. won for the
General deserved praise and contriDut-
ed in no small degree to the comfort OF
worshippers at Saint Marks The Cen
eral also cares for the fres at saint
Marks Home which in the winter
months necessitates early rising ana
I.watchful care that the rooms may De
always warm and comfortable.
Visitors in Augusta during the sum-
mer frequently comment on the fne
appearance Of the lawn and church
property, always pleasing to General
Grant, now long past the age OF three
score years and ten. Only once since
coming to Augusta has the General
responded to the call Of the homeland
beyond the Mason-Dixon line. Well
supplied with funds for a visit to the
scenes of his early life in the South
the General started some 20 years ago
on such a trip but found on reaching
Boston that his attachment to Augusta
and his work was strongest and he re-
turned without further travel. At his
home General Grant is being cared for
and friends hope before long to again
see him again in Gods house where he
has so long served.

Over $1,000
In War Savings
Stamps at P.O.

These have beer busy days for
Postal Employees, but it is now be-
lieved that the greater part OF the
work incident to the maturing 1913
issue of War Savings Stamps is over.
Postmaster Arnold expressed to the
Journal his appreciation Of the con-
sideration shown by the hundreds OF
people who have presented their
stamps for redemption. A noticeable
lack Of cooperation on their, part
would have made the work Of ADJUST
ment very much harder.
In a statement received from F: c.
Ayres, Director, Savings Division,
First Federal Reserve District. 1t IS
declared that during December Treas.
ury Certificates to the amount OF
nearly $1.500,000 were either sold or
exchanged for War Savings Stamps
in New England, and of this amount
our own post office yielded over S7l'-
900.
The Postmaster states that 1t is
human nature to wish to see the
money which has been tied up in War
Savings Stamps for the past live
years, but now that his patrons have
received it he hopes that its reim-
vestment in Treasury Savings Ceru,
ficates will be favorably considered
not only because of the absolute
safety with q good interest rate Whlcn
is obtained, but for the assistance
which this cooperating will give 70
the government in financing us war
time obligations.

Then why have we been forced to
bear the ache and thrOb Of healing
wounds all these years? The answer
is this: Until the discovery of the
famous Carrel-Dakin solution during
the World War all known antiseptics
Of any real germicidal power were
poisonous, burning compounds. They
could not be used in strong enough
solution to destroy every vestige of
germ life that wound might contain.
The result was that infection was
sure to follow break in the skin.
Infection is what is commonly called
inflammation; and all wounds I'M
less thoroughly sterilized will become
more or less inflamed.
The Carrel- Dakin solution allowed
wounds to be thoroughly sterilzed for
the first time in the history of sur
gerry. The relief that this brought
to the Allied wounded seemed like a
miracle. Prior to the discovery of
the antiseptic war hospitals were
Nightmares of horror, owing to the
agony produced by suppurating
wounds. After it's discovery great,
