Two master men, tne Caesar and the
Christ,
Each with a strain of purple in his
veins!
The one is sovereign of a hundred
lands,—•
A hundred millions bow and Caesar
reigns I
The other is a lad, a peasant boy,
Born from the loins of labor, hunted
down
In infancy. In Nazareth he lives
The offspring of a workman of the
town.
The palace of the Caesars and the hu‘
Os lowly trash! The fearful contrast
stings.
The one’ is worshipped through the
Roman earth;
His legions march; his silver eagle
wings
It’s crying course from Spain to Baby
lon.
A carpenter r.nhonored, think not
Os Caesar’s dazzling gem. Eternal
Rome.
Eternal Rome? Majestic mockery!
Tli. Caesar and his system turn to
dust.
For grim disintegration is the fruit
That ripens on the trees of Blood and
Lust.
The empire of the Romans, dead de
cayed,
Has fertilized the thrilling seed of
truth;
And springing from the wreck of olden
forms
Democracy is Quivering with youth. I
Democracy, tne system of the Christ,
Democracy ,the principle of God!
Is conquering a planet by degrees, ■
And crushing institutions of the clod'
The Caesars fell and brotherhood was
born. -I
Today a goal of grandeur looms, and
that
Is there ahead, through smoke decried

SOCIAL SERVICE YLANNED
FOR ATLANTA CANTONMENT.
The Atlanta branch of the Y? W. C.
A war couneil has well organized
plans for its part of the social ser
vice to be rendered in connection with
the Silver Lake cantonment, and at a
meeting of the council held yester
day morning at the Georgian Terrace
hotel, Mrs. Emily MacDougald presid-
ing, the plans were clearly set forth. [
Miss Genevieve Saunders, of the wo
man’s staff of the Fourth National bank ’
was made treasurer of the Atlanta'
branch of the War Council. Added to'
the executive board of the council, this'
beard composed of the officers, were'
three members, Mrs. Albert Thornton,'
Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin and Mrs. John
Marshall Slaton.
It w r as decided on motion made by’
Miss Sarah Converse, that the war[
council give both time and interest to
the organization of a junior war coun- |
cil in Atlanta, to be composed of the
yt unger women of the city. This was!
inspired by Miss Miriam Sheppard, of
New’ York, who with Miss St. George
is in the city, representing the Na
tional War Council, Y. W. C. A.
Miss Shepherd stressed the fact that
the organization of the junior council
would bring a new and quickening in- 1
fluence into the social service work
planned, and would be a distinct factor ‘
in the success of the war council
work.
Though in the city but ten days, Miss
Shepherd produced a report of statis
tics relative to the number and activ
ity of Atlanta’s business and industrial
women, of which there is probably no
adequate record iq any other hands,
and she proved in the brief address
she made that Atlanta’s younger wo
men are as yet an unrockoned force In
the work the women of the city will
be called upon to do during the war
crisis.
Miss Fay Kellogg, architect for the
hostess houses to be built by the War
Council, Y. W. C. A., in the Southern
encampments, told an interesting
story of her visits to the various en
campments, where the hostess houses
are to be stationed. She made a busi ,
Mess report relative to the work in
Atlanta, which not only includes the,
hostess house at the cantonment at
Silver Like, but the equipment of an
entire floor in the new Arcade build
ing of the viaduct.
Not only comfort, but attractive
surroundings, are a part of the scheme
of these two social centers, Miss Kel
logg explained. The in-town center
will be well arranged, ventilated, light
ed and adorned, and be under expert
management, ready for occupancy the
first of October.
The site for the hostess house at the
cantonment has been selected, and
work will begin there in a few days. ■
Miss Kellogg assured her board. She
described the size of the building, its ,
capacity and its purposes, and empha
sized the fact that the expenses of

cil, and who, with the hostess, woubi

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.
Egg Scramble With Tomato Border.
—Scramble the required number of
eggs and put on a hot platter; sur
round with thick slices of tomato.,
which have been seasoned with salt
and pepper, and dipped in flour, and
'browned in butter. Thin curls of
1 crispy bacon is a tempting addition.—
From Good Housekeeping.
Detachable White Collars—ln cases
where white collar and cuffs are use i
cn dark-colored or plaid dresses for
'children, it is well to make them de
tachable, so the child can easily but
ton them on herself, and to provide
• more than one set. This makes less
'laundering, as collars and cuffs inva
I riably soil first. —From Good House
| keeping.
To Make The Best Gravies —Every
' cook can make most delicious gravies.
Let her use the water in which she
cooks the vegetables when she has
fresh vegetables, and the juices from
the can. if canned vegetables, insteal
of making the gravy with just wa
ter. Green or wax beans, asparagus.
1 peas, spinach and even potato juice,
make delicious gravies.
The Latest Edict of Fashion—The!
edict has gone forth that suits an 1
to be fur-trimmed and of materials
ir a soft glovelike texture. The lat-1
est models abide by the rule of Rus
sion influence, and the slender,
straight silhouette and strike a note
of originality in buttons. —From Good

I MACON, Ga., August 24.—The Civil
'Service commission began investigation
of twenty-three charges against City
Detectives Newberry, Roland and Tur
ner yesterday. The case was not fin
ished; in fact, was only well started,
according to lawyers in the case. It
will be continued on next Monday.
That each one of the twenty-three
charges will be pressed to the limit, is
indicated from City Attorney McNeill’s
statement to a lawyer for the accused
men, when he declared that “not a sin
gle one’ ’of the charges would be
withdrawn. The Civil Service com
mission has power to remove any one
of the detectives, or all of them, if it
finds that the evidence warrants.
The regular office of the Civil Ser
vice commission was not large enough
to hold the great crowd of curious peo
pie who wanted to hear the story of
alleged “graft" from the lips of wit
nesses who had been summoned, so the
hearing was begun in the recorder’s
court room.
Attorneys McClellan and Cochran
represented the detectives; Attorney
McNeil represented the city, and At
torny Butler appeared in defense of
1 Ed Jordan, negro shoemaker, who is
under bond, charged with receiving
stolen leather.
Clashes between the lawyers consum
ed a great part of the four hours of
yesterday’s session, constant objections
bei«g made by attorneys for the detec
tives to questions asked by Attorney
McNeil.

ZIRON IRON TONIC
FOR YOUR BLOOD!
-DO YOU NEED IT?
Lack of Iron in the Blood Means Lack of Appetite, Loss
of Energy, Pale Cheeks, and a General Debili
tated Condition of the Entire System.
ZIRON Will Put Iron Into
Your Blood.
Be physically fit! Guard your health as the most prized possession you
bare. When you find yourself losing your grip, becoming irritable, nervous,
weak, anemic, take inventory. See what is wrong!
Your blood probably does not contain sufficient iron. The red corpuscles
may Lave become diminished, and consequently, your entire system suffers
from insufficient and impoverished blood supply, and the accumulation ot
poisonous waste matter.
If you find this to be the case, you will want a remedy that Will supply
iron which will increase the number of red corpuscles. Try BIRON, the new
Iron Tonic, which contains no alcohol, no habit-forming drugs, and is rec*
immer.ded as a safe, reliable, tonic remedy for men, women and children.
Mrs. Lizzie Pennington, of Adamsville, Ala., writes: “About two week:<
ago I was ip bed with an awful bad cold, and I was awful weak. I had taken
purgative medicine, but wanted to try something with iron to see if I couldn’t
get back my strength. My son thought Ziron would help me, so I commenced
it. My nerves generally run down in the Spring and I need something to
build me up... When I got some better and was up and around, we commenced
the Ziron and it surely helped me to gain my strength and throw off the
cold. ..I Stave used only about a half bottle of Ziron but feel so much better
and stronger that I may not have to take any more for awhile.”
SPECIAL OFFER: Buy a bottle of ZIRON, today, at your druggist’s
I and give it a fair trial, according to directions on the bottle. If, after using
up one bottle, you find it has not benefited you, take the empty bottle back
to the druggist and he will refund what you paid him for it We repay him,
so there is no reason why he should not repay you. This offer only applies
o the f:r~. trial hottie. ‘ (ZA4
