#QdMLLQ/a THE ELLIJAY TIMES PUBLISHED WEEKLY. ELLIJAY. GEORGIA How fashion doth make fools of us all. There is no proper season for plant¬ ing dynamite. • Pumpkin pie begins to draw Upon the culinary horizon. What effect would synthetic rubber have on the chewing gum Industry? If the women reformed their clothes the modistes would lose a lot of money. Boys were playing Indians and ban¬ dits long before the advent of the movies. Nicaragua is no longer than an ‘ American state, but it is fuller of ' bananas. New Jersey holds the chivalry cham¬ pionship. There women are girls un¬ til they are forty. No man can tell how a marriage •ill turn out, but any woman can— usually does. lie Astor baby had his way he ly would trade his $3,000,000 All-day sucker. re are four dozen wild buffalo ilowstone park. We suppose the ists make them wild. Every woman hates to see her lit¬ tle son go to school or her daughter married for the first time. Red apples may produce red cheeks, as a fruit grower says, but green apples make a little boy blue. There is a shortage in the cranberry crop, but thus far no shortage in the turkey crop has been reported. Explorers in New Mexico recently have found a prehistoric flat, but even the janitor had become extinct. That electricity can cure hunger has been demonstrated by many a man who has mingled with a live wire. Once upon a time a man thought he knew a mushroom from a toad¬ stool. A large family survived him. Eating lunch every day in ten min¬ utes is another form of speed mania that is responsible for many deaths. That St. Paul woman who wrote a novel with her toes certainly handled the subject with a good understand¬ ing. Some men are born liars, some have to lie for a living, and some lie because their wives are too inquis¬ itive. , When there are so many great men wonjien 4h-thfr-ee«r«wr itmakes us few' common people feel awfully loneiy. Some women pay more attention to their dogs than they do to tlieir husbands, but then maybe the dogs growl less. A woman in Washington was mar¬ ried eleven years and never told it. This shatters another long-cherished tradition. Another defective golf ball has broken Into print by ’ exploding, hut as a rule it is the defective golfer who is explosive. Food supplies are to go through the mails, and the cancellation of stamps on packages of eggs should be con¬ ducted gently. The trouble will not be over until we find out whether the American or the National league champions are the better ball players. Scientists claim they have discov¬ ered the germ of measles by experi¬ ments on apes. But measles is not a thing to monkey with. A Pennsylvania man died at a ball game while rooting for the winning team. Prom a ‘’fan s” view he died at the summit of earthly bliss. The New York commissioner of po¬ me bad his pocket picked. Under ■sent conditions in that city this s like adding insult to Injury. e picture of a juggernaut on a ide is indeed one to cause a tem y suspension of pedestrianism on highways and byways of the laud. A New York man recently died of old age at 26. He was probably one of those who sang: "Better twenty years of Broadway than a cycle of New Jersey." The new $100 bill is said to bear Alexander Hamilton’s portrait, but we fear we shall have to take somebody’s word for it. Kaiser Wilhelm is afflicted with •heumatism, which hurts quite as )adlv in German, we are informed, as t does in English. \ Pennsylvania woman suing for divorce charged that she has had but two new dresses in twelve years. No stronger case of extreme cruelty was ever made out. Speaking of pikers, the treasury department announces that there Is a gang at work counterfeiting pen¬ nies. We are to be blessed with a large crop of oysters. Let us hope that the tabasco sauce will be equal to the de¬ mand. Now that royal princesses are get¬ ting in the papers by having their jewels stolen, stage stars will have to relinquish this favorite device and take to something less hackneyed. PAMPHLETS FOR SENATOR HOKE SMITH HAS AR¬ RANGED TO SUPPLY AGRICUL¬ TURAL BULLETINS TO HIS CONSTITUENTS. Georgia Statesman Is Doing All He Can to Put Farmers’ .Bulletins Where They Will Do Most Good. Washington, D. C., September.—Com¬ paratively few persons know of 'the vast fund of information to be found in the Partners’ Bulletins issued by the Department of Agriculture. Yet there is scarcely a farmer, no matter how progressive he may be, who would not get new ideas and new j spiration by reading these Bulletins j and other publications of the Depart¬ ment. These little pamphlets cover near¬ ly four hundred subjects and are the results of experiments and practical operations on farms in all parts of the country. The Depagunent care¬ fully watches all sections and studies all the various conditions of soil and climate. It has made a wonderfully successful fight against the Mexican Boll Weevil and recently issued a new edition of the pamphlet on the Boll Weevil. Senator Hoke Smith . got busy and obtained from the Sena¬ tors in many of the Northern and Western States their quota of these paiqplilets to be used in addition to his own in Georgia, where the Boll Weevil is expected to appear in the near future. The Weevil will cost the fanners millions of dollars and the sooner they prepare for the fight the less they will lose. Senator Smith wants the farmers to send for these Bulletins and study them. They consist of 200 pages and are fully illustrated. j The Senator is doing all he can to put the various kinds of Farmers’ Bulletins where they will do the most good. A postal card addressed to him will bring a Farmers' Bulletin on al¬ most any subject. ' Take poultry, for instance. There are several bulletins on that subject. There are several on corn raising and seed selection, several on hog raising, several on the dairy and but¬ ter making, economics, and others on gardening, household renovation of wornout soils, fertilizers, ' and hun¬ dreds of other subjects. - As many as five or six Bulletins can be sent to one person. The sup¬ ply is not unlimited and only those of real interest should be requested. In sending for them the number of the Bulletin should be given. The bulletins entitled “Experiment StatioS 'Work" give i briefiy'“tne' resfilts of experiments performed by the State experiment stations. kLIov is theslist: 22. The Feeding of Farm Animals. 28.

Pensacola, Fla.—Detectives em¬ ployed to investigate the disappear¬ ance of a package containing $65,000, while being sent from Pensacola to Flomaton, have gone to New Orleans to investigate a report that the rob¬ ber probably sailed on a steamer for Puerto Cortez, leaving New Orleans. It is the belief of officials that the thief has escaped from this# city, and. a majority of the private detectives and special agents who have been working on the case here have depart¬ ed for other points. C^rtersville, Ga.—Aroused over the alleged fact that this city is to be de¬ prived of a $2,000,000 industrial im¬ provement by the refu:*U of one man to accept a fair amount for a small tract of land, the people of Carters ville and the chamber of commerce, in particular, are taking steps by which they hope either to bring about a reconciliation between the corporation and the alleged obdurate property ow^er, or to have a law pass¬ ed to change the law which for bids any corporation from condemning for any purpose a mill site upon which * grist mill is actually in operation, m 150.

Lanford is planning to so rev¬ olutionize the police detective depart¬ ment that it will be one of the most modern and efficient organizations! in the South. In order to carry out all his plans he will ask council for finan¬ cial aid for his department. Of the new methods to be employed one of the most important will be the Bertil lon\finger print identification system. Chief Beavers and Chief Lanford have had the matter under consideration ever since the former's return from a trip east. Fitzgerald. Ga.—An educational ral¬ ly was held in Burkhart theater. May¬ or A. B. Cook presided. The story of the Atlanta industrial school was told by Principal Richard D. Stinson in an interesting and intelligent way. The Tain prevented the large attend¬ ance that was expected from the sur¬ rounding country. A feature of the occasion was the prepared songs by a chorus of thirty negro men and women. Prof. R. H. Printiss, county superintendent of education, made a strong and able address and was very loudly applauded. The large congre¬ gation appeared to be greatly pleased. 287. Poultry Management. 288.

Hines of this city was given quite a surprnu by the tax assessors of the city a few days ago when they advis¬ ed him that his assessment had been raised. Judge Hines is unusually ac¬ curate in listing and giving in his property and among other personal property, he gave in his faithful pipe, valuin git at $1. The surprise came to him when the tax asse:*;ors an¬ nounced they had accepted his valua¬ tion on most of his other properties, but had raised his assessment on his pipe to a couple of dolalrs. Bingham, Utah.—Quiet prevailed here. The 4,500 miners who walked out from the Utah Copper company's property and from the adjoining mines gathered in small groups on the street, but only the guards on pa¬ trol indicated the existence of a strike. Nearly fifty men were added to Sheriff Joseph Sharp’s force:* of deputies, the total now being 330. Of¬ ficers of the Utah Copper company re mained silent on their plans to break the strike, but preparations indicate that soon will see the first steps, for supremacy between the strikers and the company. 412.

Senator Smith does not wish to see these Bulletins wasted, but what he is anxious to do is to send them to persons to whom they would be use¬ ful. If a Georgia man or woman is interested in poultry he would like to send to that person the poultry Bulle¬ tins, and if another is interested in gardening, then the bulletins on that subject, and the same with reference com culture, dairying and other matters connected with the farm. The Senator's pet hobby is the im¬ provement of conditions on the farm and in rural life. Nothing gives him more pleasure than to receive a heavy mail loaded down with requests for Farmers' Bulletins and other publi¬ cations relating to agriculture. Senator Smith is also making up his seed list for next season and those desiring to receive packages of gar¬ den seed or flower seed should drop him a line. Mexico City.—General Tellez ha3 been placed in command of the gov¬ ernment troops in the operations against the rebels! in the northern part of Mexico, succeeding General Huerta, who has been granted tempo¬ rary leave in order to b ave his eyes treated. It is believed that it will be many weeks before Generau Huertat will be able again to assume com mand. That the scene of operations many weeks before General Huerta by the news of rebel movements in ChauhuiHa and in the Lahuna district about Torreon. Monterey, Mexico.—A small body of federals, numbering about a hundred, sent to drive the rebels from La Ba¬ hia, ranch, were completely routed, although it. is said only ten were kill¬ ed. The news of the defeat was brought here by one fleeing soldier, who said that the federals had gained I.a Rosita Pass, and there for three hours sustained the rebel fire and. due to the excellent location, held the position, losing none of their men. The rebels then ceased firing and withdrew, apparently abandoning their efforts. The federals, thinking the enemy gone, fel into ambush. Ill U. S. SPENDS AMERICANS LEADING WORLD IN SPENDING MONEY FOR LUXURIES. HOW WE SQUANDER MONEY Figures Showing That When It Comes to Spending Money We Win the Prize. This Is the Way We' Spend Our Money.

Eliot, president emer¬ itus of Harvard, is president, have produced figures showing that when it comes to spending, the American cit* izen is the prize performer of the world. In a carefully prepared list of the things along the various "white ways" of the nation for which money is use¬ lessly "blown,’’ the federation shows that $8,000,000,000 a year is to be properly classified as money ‘‘burned'’ tor things we really ought not to have. The wine, women and song account heads the list with a total of some¬ thing like $5,000,000,000, and the shop¬ ping list tapers down to a paltry $13, 000,000 spent for chewing gum. My lady’s hat costs the American citizen $90,000,000 a year. The purpose of publishing the fig¬ ures is to direct thought to the sex problem and the white slave traffic. The federation plans to make a na¬ tion-wide fight upon the white slave traffic—a generalization by which it includes all of the sex relationships that are not classed among the prop¬ er. By the estimate of the federation, it costs the American public every year $3,000,000,000 to keep the white 1 slave traffic as an institution, includ¬ ing the hospital expenses that are considered as being collateral to the evil. trifle ' The drink bill Is a of $2,000, 000,000 more, with $120,000,000 a year thrown in for the passengers on the ! water wagon who order soft drinks.

STAMPS FOR PARCELS POST Series Will Be Unique in Size and Novel in Design, Washington. — Arrangements have been made by Postmaster General Hitchcock lor engraving and manu¬ facturing a series of twelve stamps, unique in size and novel in design, for exclusive use in forwarding pack¬ ages by the new parcels post. ^Under the law recently enacted by congress ordinary stamps can not be used for this purpose. The special parcels post stamps will be larger than the ordinary stamps and will be so distinctive in color and design as to avert any pos¬ sible confusion with stamps now in use. The new issue will be in three se¬ ries of designs. The first will illus¬ trate modern methods of transporting mail, one stamp showing the mail car on a railroad train, another an ocean mail steamship, a third an automobij^ Riot When Police Halt Parade. Lawrence, Mass.—A battle with knives and clubs between Industrial Workers of the World and the police, in which two officers were stabbed, one severely beaten and several riot ers injured, occurred on one of the principal business streets of Law¬ rence. The fight began when the po¬ lice tried to stop an informal parade of textile operatives preceding a dem¬ onstration in honor of Anna Lopizzo and John Raray, who were killed dur¬ ing the strike riots last winter. Boy Kills His Father. Troy, Ala.—Charlie Wilson was shot and instantly killed here by his 16-year-old son after the former had made an alleged attack upon the boy's mother. Wilson is alleged to have threatened to kill his wife for having him arrested charged with abusing her. The boy remonstrated with his father and the latter is said to have threatened to kill him. The boy step¬ ped into an adjoining room, secured a shotgun and then blew out his fa¬ ther’s brains. Fumigating Drove Out Stowaways, New Orleans.—When the work of fumigating the steamship Puebla, from Mexican ports, begin at quaran¬ tine station here, six Chinese stowa¬ ways concealed in the hold, were driven from cover by the fumes of the sulphur and began pounding on the iron hull, yelling to be let out. The fumigation was stopped and the Chi¬ namen rescued. The stowaways were turned over to the immigration author¬ ities pending deportation. YOU CANT KEEP WELL WHEN YOU ARE CONSTIPATED CONSTIPATION IS THE ROOT OF NEARLY ALL DISEASE. “Keep Your Bowels Open”—Doctors Estimate That 75 Per Cent, of Sick¬ ness Is Due to Torpid Liver. / -■ ■ — * All food eaten has some undigestible waste, which the liver clears away day by day. Now, a heavy or unusual diet, or a change in water, may cause the liver to leave a few particles, and the next day its cleansing work is more difficult. These particles press and clog, and more are left over; and so this waste accumulates, clogging stom¬ ach and intestinal canal and causing Constipation. This is not all. If this waste is not eliminated, it ferments and gen¬ erates uric acid, a poison which gets into the blood stream and is carried along through the system to poison it and develop disease. JACOBS’ LIVER SALT dissolves the uric acid and passes It off in the urine. It flushes and cleanses the stomach and intestinal canal and re¬ lieves the liver from the pressure of fermenting waste matter. The liver then resumes its normal activity. JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is much bet¬ ter than calomel. It causes no grip¬ ing,' nausea or vomiting, because it acts mildly and without force. It is the mercurial force of calomel that nauseates and salivates. JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is pleasant and bubbling, agreeable to everyone, and no other liver medicine acts so quickly and so gently.

Without question, the Scots curler of whom Lord Lyveden tells in Fry's Magazine placed the proper value on his sport. During a recent curling-match in Switzerland, the skip of one of the teams, wfio happened to be a Scots¬ man, was so delighted with the accu¬ rate shot of one of his team, that he was heard to address him in the fol¬ lowing manner: "Lie down and dee, mon; lie down and dee. Ye'll never lay a finer stane nor that if ye live to be a hundred.” Appointed Day of judgment. A horse dealer irf an English town had lent a horse to a solicitor, who filled the animal through had usage. The dealer insisted on payment, and the lawyer, refusing cash, said he would give a bill for the aniouut. but it must be at a long date. The law¬ yer drew a promissory note, making it payable on the day of judgment. An action was raised, and the lawyer asked the sheriff to look at the bill. Having done so, the sheriff replied: "This is the day of judgment. I decree you to pay tomorrow.” Potteries Prospering.

It is curious how people will refuse to believe what one can clearly see. Tell the average man or woman that the slow but cumulative poisonous effect of caffeine—the alkaloid in tea and coffee—tends to weaken the heart, upset the nervous system and cause indigestion, and they may laugh at you if they don’t know the facts. Prove it by science or by practical demonstration In the recovery of cof¬ fee drinkers from the above condi¬ tions, and a large per cent of the hu¬ man family will shrug their shoulders, take some drugs and—keep on drink¬ ing coffee or tea. “Coffee never agreed with me nor with several members of our house¬ hold,” writes a lady. “It enervates, depresses and creates a feeling of languor and heaviness. It was only by leaving off coffee and using Postum that we discovered the cause and way out of these ills. “The only reason, I am sure, why Postum is not used altogether to the exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many persons do not know and do not seem willing to learn the facts and how to prepare this nutritious beverage. There’s only one way—according to directions—boil It fully 15 minutes. Then it is delicious.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
