Crumley, of the Decatur Orphans' home, speaks of the day and Its meaning to the orphans of Geor gia as foUows: 'There ore many boys who are rag ged and hungry and hungrier still for a mother's love. We are so busy that we don’t see them, don’t know they aro there, don’t take time to help them. We sometimes 1st little children become thlevee, stealing flrst (heir bread, then other things, until they becomo crimi nals. Ssclety neglects many little wolfs until we in anger say. They ought to be In the reformatory.’ We forget that our neglect of giving them food for body and heart was more tho cause of that boy’s or girl’s ruin than anything else. "Sometimes our own little ones are vitiated, poisoned, damned by these little hungry hearts ws failed to feod In our busy baste. "Can not the school boy In this beau, tlful picture teach Oeorgla a lesson as Work Day for the orphans draws near? He has dropped his books (his business) and with generous heart opens the lunch box hts sweet mother has filled for him, and gladly divides with the poor, hungry, ragged, forlorn, homeless, motherless boy. He has learned a larger lesson than those In his school books. ’Most of the orphans’ homes of Georgia Join In an earnest appeal to all the readers of the Georgian, rich and poor, men and women and children, that they will work hard at their busi ness on Work Day for the orphans, Saturday, September 28, and divide their lunch, their Income, with the por child of our dead brothers, the poor cripple or babies or wolfs. They ask them to earn liberal wages for their dolly bread and for buildings. "The average expense of living In the United States Increased from about *72 In 1903 to *102 in 1905, and has Increased materially since so that the bread question Is a serious mat ter with many orphans’ homes. "Let merchants, clerks, employers and employeea, men. women and chil dren stop on Saturday, September 98. and open their baskets (purses) and feed the hungry orphans.

" ’I have been compelled to stop drinking It,’ I sold to a friend who ask' ed mo to strengthen up on a cup of her good coffee. ’Well,’ she said, ’’that needn't bother you, for I have Postum Food Coffee here, which completely cured a friend of mine of sick head aches.' 'I tried her coffee and It was very good, but when I tried to make It at home, I was disappointed. I soon found that I was n.ot making It correctly, but by putting In twp heaping tea spoonfuls of Postum for each person and letting It boll twenty minutes, It was delicious. I had at that time been an Invalid for several years, but did not know my trouble was caused by coffee drinking, of which I was very fond. 1 Immedi ately began to feel better after leaving oft coffee and using Postum, and stuck to It. ’’On* day I met a lady who was troubled the same as I was, and whoae appearance on the atreet really shocked me, for she was so emaciated. She ex claimed In surprise at my Improved ap pearance, and wanted to know what 1 had been doing. 8he asked me It I had had a healer of any kind. I said. 'Yes, I have allowed Postum Food Cof fee to work the almost complete mira cle of curing me.' \ “My husband has been absent from home for some time, end has been In wretched health, having been In the hospital twice for Indigestion. 1 wrote him to stop using coffee and try Pos tum—told him also Just how to make It. Yesterday I received a letter from him In which he says, ‘I am feeling very much better, thanks to you and Pos tum. 1 sleep better, eat better, and In fact, my dear, am quite an Improve ment on the old husband.’ ” There's a Reason.” Read “The Road to .Well- vllle," In pkgs. , night. The fact that I was once well- to-do, happy and useful makes ths do- sire to end It all the stronger. Ths world la a good place—ths best we know—but sometimes It falls to glvs a man tha hslp hs so greatly needs. As long as I had relatives I was In a way strong, but when death took my father, my brother, my broth er’s wlfs and my aunt. In rapid suc cession, I lost Interest and sympathy and began to go down. Now I have nothing to live for. could live anyway were It not for my suffering. Life Is sweet until suffering becomes too great for a man's strength, then ths desire for death predominates. When I cams from the stockade this morning I was sick, weak, without food or money and Buffering from tho pangs of the morphine habit. I did not be lieve any one cared at all for me. The clothes 1 wore were fllthy, my room was fllthy. everything I touched seemed covered with filth. 1 could see no pure thing anywhere. I went out and got a cup of coffee, but could not drink It, I hated the world and myself most of all. I went back to my room and lay down on my bed and thought of death. It seemed the only thing. I took a small mirror and studied my face for a long time. It was deathly pale—the r llor was that of a dead man’s fsce. got up, but I was so dlxsy that I sat down again. Then I picked up my razor. No, I had no desire to tell any one goodby, there was no feeling of one leaving the world—I merely want ed to die. I felt for my Jugular vein. I thought It was Just below my ear. I cut on the right side, and cut again. The blood began to flow, and I cut on the other side. The blood flowed freely, but not os from an artery. I realized that I couldn’t kilt myself that way, so I pulled up my sleeve and cut my right arm. It hurt at first, os the blade went through the outer flesh. I could see the white veins. They were hard like gutta percha, and I could not cut deeper. The blood continued to flow for a while and then stopped. It hod coagulated, and I opened tho wounds afresh with my fingers. It had seemed so easy to kill myself, but when I found It so difficult and ths pain became great, I crawled Into the next room. There was a deaf man there. I had to write on a piece of japer to make him understand. I sent i’or Mr. W. W. Reynolds and he came and called an ambulance and I went to the hospital. The doctors tortured me an hour sewing me up and then said: "Go out In the hall and put on your clothes and get out. We can’t keep you.” I went to Mr. Reynolds’ shop In a cab and lay on tha floor for four hours until he persuaded the physicians to take me back to the hospital. And here I am. I don’t know whether 1 shall try again. It doesn't matter- nothing matters any more. DYNAMITE IN SCRApTrON INJURED DEALER. didst** for membership In tbs order will ho Initiated.
