out Of beSieged Chattanooga and open
the 00tetO0v to Georgia. BTaztOn Bragg

the southern outskirts Of the city on Mis-
siOn0Sy Ridge and Lookout Mountain
could look dOsOn from the heights and
sO0tch the Federal bsIildup. Bragg had

to attack, the going sOosIId be all uphill.
Numerically the GTDsies sDeTe about
equal at 10000 electives, so the 0dudn-
tG0es sOOtIld seem to be Nth the IN
trenched defenders. For his part, U. S.
Grant had his army separated into three
sOings. His general plan Of attack SO0s
for W. T. SheTmGn's troops to deliver the

HEADQUARTERS, CHATTANOO-
GA, Nov. q, 1853. Hon. EdlOin M.
Stanton, Secretary Of War Sir: On the
sd instant, at 1870 am, General
Grant ordered q demonstration
against Mission Ridge to develop the
force holding it. The troops marched
out, formed in order, advanced in line
Of battle as If on parade. The rebels
watched the formation and movement
from their picket lines and rifle pits
and from the SUBMITS of Mission
Ridge, 500 feet above US, and thought
it was a review and drill, so speedy
and deliberately, so regular was it all
done, as the advanced line proceeded
by skirmishers, and at two o'clock pm.

a rafting volley upon the rebel
pickets, who replied and ran to their
advanced line of riflepits. After them
went our skirmishers and into them
along the center of the line of $4,000
troops which Gen. Thomas had so
quickly displayed until we opened
fire. Prisoners assert that they
thought the whole movement was a
review and general drill, and that it
was too late to send to their camps for
reinforcements, and that they were
overwhelmed by force Of numbers. II
was a surprise in open daylight. -.
Skirmishing and cann0nading con-
tinued all the day on the left and
center. Gen. Hooker scaled the slopes
OF Lookout Mountain from the Valley
of Lookout Greek, drove the rebels
around the point, captured some two
thousand prisoners, and established
himself high up the mOuntainside, in
full view of Chattanooga. -.
The day had been one of dense
miSts and rains, and much of HOOker's
battle had been fought above the
clouds, which concealed him from our
view, but from which his musketry
was heard. -.

There are many "old wives
tales" concerning reducing
and beauty care still floating
about. 1t seems impossible to
blast these out Of the femi-
nine mind. Some Of these
stories remain because they
suggest an easy way to lose
weight and others linger on
because Of misunderstood ex-
perience,
Among the former are such
ideas as. you will lose
weight II you drink lemon
Juice or you will lose weight
II you stand up for 20 min
utes after each meal" It's a
comforting idea that you can
gulp lemon juice and stand
up for q few minutes after
eating and watch the pounds
drop away, but 1t is not true.
The idea that cutting hair
will make 1t grow faster and
come in thicker belongs to
the misunderstood experience
group Of old wives tales. Fa-
cial hair is apt to increase at
middle age. Around the time
Of menopause, some women

notice new dark facial hairs.
They remove the hairs with
q tweezer and when the
growth increases Gas 1t would
have anyway they blame 1t
on the cutting.
Only Method
Electrolysis Is the only
method Of permanent hair
removal. Often women feel
that these treatments have
been unsuccessful because
the growth of facial hair
continues. Actually these are
probably new hairs rather
than regrowth Of the old
ones.
There is no scientific evi-
dence that shaving the legs
increases the rate Of growth
and thickness Of the hairs.
Actually, the only living part
Of the hair is beneath the
skin. What you do to the
dead part above the surface
has no effect on the vital
living portion.
Neither is there any truth
in the idea that cutting the
hair on your head will make
1t grow faster and thicker.

found the fact interesting,
that two grandsons Of the
