Devoted to tlie Upbulldlns and Frogrosa ol Dallas and Paulding County. VOL. XXVI. Dallas, Paulding County, Georgia, Thursd^v ) August 13, 1908. Number 38 HOME CIRCLE DEPt^TMENT •ou suppose How to Tell Her Age. I Girls of a marriageable age n * n fe ^ ie l' ouse consists it nni liWp In tell hnw Q id! paying the bills, don’t under take it. do not like to tell how they are, but you can find out by' following the subjoined in structions, the young lady do ing! e figuring: Te.l her to put down the number of the month in which she was born, then to multi ply it by' 2, then to add 5, then to multiply it by 50, then to add her age, then to sub tract 365, then to add 115, then tell her to tell you the amount she has left. The two figures to the right will tell you her age and the re mainder the month of her birth. For example, if the amount is 822, she is twenty- two years old and was born in the eighth month ( August). Try it. The need of some place to drop down for a moment and forget things is a crying one in most homes. There ought to be enough sofas around to accommodate all the family. Five minutes rest will prevent many a family row, and how If you have an idea that you are too good for a picked up dinner, remain a bachelor. If you have found it a hard task to be happy yourself, don’t try to make any one else happy. If you have chosen a pretty woman without regard to her other qualities, halt; you are on the wrong road. If you think a house should have only one head, and that be yours, postpone your wed ding indefinitely. If you are of the opinion that marriage makes the man and wife one, and that you are that pne, send in your re grets at once. If you are one of the men who think that ten per cent of their income belongs to the tap-room, let marriage alone. The Evil of Fretting. There is one sin which seems to us is everywhere and by' everybody underestimated can you get rest if you have t» *and quite too much overlook- pull shams off the bed and roll up the overlid? A shab by old lounge where you can get at it is worth its weight in gold; and you won’t want to die half so many times if you make use of it. The loosen ing of the tension for ever so few minutes may save your reason some day. Don’t go out and try to walk off your worries; don’t tell them to your friend, either. Just throw yourself down on the sofa for a while; shut your eyes and pretend you have no care. The worries will be lighter before you realize it, your brain will be clearer and your heart stronger to meet those that press closest. If brothers or sisters 'err, the world says “shun them; thus you will show that you disapprove of the act, making an example of them.” Alas ! how many examples we have of this mode of teaching crowd ing the haunts of infamy to day! Once bright young lives, over whose pure lips and in nocent brows mothers watch ed in all tenderness; but the trembling feet took one false step, and so we thrust them out of our hearts, out of our churches, and would even thrust them out of heaven. Is it. right, is it just, is it Christ- like? Advice to An Engaged Man. If you think that a woman is any weaker minded than a man, stop where you are. If you intend to treat your self any better than your wife, don’t take one. ed in valuation of character, It is the sin of fretting, so common that unless it rises above the usual monotone we do not observe it. Watch any ordinary coming together of people and see how many min utes it will be before some body frets—that is, makes or less complaining statement of something or other, which most probably every one iu the room, or in the car, or on the street corner, it may be, knew before, and which prob ably no one can help. Why say anything about it? It cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry; somebody has broken an appointment; ill cooked a meal; stupidity or bad faith some where has resulted in dis comfort. There are are plenty of things to fret about. It is simply astonishing how much annoyance may be found in the course of every day’s liv ing, even at the simplest, it one only keeps a sharp eye out on that side of things. Even holy writ says we are prone to trouble as sparks to fly up ward. But even to the sparks flying upward in the blackest of smoke there is a blue sky above, and the less time they waste on the road the sooner they will reach it. Fretting is all time wasted on the road. Most men would prefer do mestic happiness to great riches. A girl that is not neatly dressed is called a sloven, and no one likes to look at her. Her face may be pretty, and her eyes bright, but if there is a spot of dirt on her cheek, and her fingers’ ends are black with ink, and her shoes are not laced or buttoned up, or her apron is dirty, and her collar not buttoned, and her skirt is torn, she cannot be liked. Learn to be neat and when you havtjlearned it, it will almost take care of itself. It is only too true that to refrain from showing affec tion makes the wife miserable. She does not care for presents or lavish attention; she wants those little tokens such as may be given even in a look, which will prove her hus band’s love. We wish some of the good things that some men are saving up to say con cerning their wives after they are dead could be said now. A man will spend $25 to buy cut flowers for his dead wife’s coffin, when if he had spent 25 cents for a bunch of flow ers for her when she was alive, she would have fainted. You wait until she is dead and then get some preacher to tell how good she was. For a good, every-day house hold angel give us the woman who laughs. Her biscuit may not always be just right, and she may occasionally burn her bread and forget to re place dislpcated buttons, but for solid comfort all day and every day she is a very para gon. Home is not a. battle field, nor life one long un ending row. The trick of al ways seeing the bright side, or if the matter has no bright side, of shining up the dark one, is a very important facul ty; one of the things no man should be without. We are not all born with the sun shine in our hearts, as the Irish prettily phrase it, but we can cultivate, a cheerful sense of humor, dif we only try. Is there any satisfaction 11 a room the furnishings of which cost hundreds of dol lars, when it is only open at rare intervals, while the own er perhaps; sits by the kitch en fire or iu some dingy sit ting room, where he can put his feet on the fender if he wants to, can smoke, and as a great indulgence, tilt back in his chair? Let the sunshine into the gloomy rooms, have a couch to lie ou, a piano to play ou; in fact, a home to live in; one wligrein a sense of hospitality and good cheer exudes from the very tables and chairs, iu- stead of a mausoleum of gloomy elegance, wherein ev erything is for show and noth ing to be used. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with local applications, ns tluiy can not reach the scat of the disease. Ca tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis ease, and in order to cure it you must, take internal remedies. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on tlie blood and mu- cuous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was pre scribed by one of tlie best physicians in tills country for years and is a reg ular prescription, It is oompossed of the best tonics known, combined with tile best, blood purifiers, act ing directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing catarrh, ftendfor testimonials free. F. J. Chkxkv &Co., Props., Tole do, Ohio.

Home means comfort, but when we have it fixed up So elaborately that we must sit in the garret or the back yard to genuinely enjoy ourselves then it is high time we made a change and turned out the too-good-to-use articles and substitute for them the real homely things that we could enjoy every day of the year and every moment of the day. Men like pretty home-mak ers, no mistake there. They can appreciate beauty as well as the next one, but they want that beauty to be of an order that appeals to their sense of home comfort. Of what good are cushions so elaborately embroidered that no head can fever repose on them? What sense is there in easy chairs of such rich material that they are quite the reverse of the flame given them? The Water Cure. Water! water, just as it is, if pure, is the most efficacious and cheapest of beautifiers. Generally speaking, we drink about one-fourth as much as we should through the day. Physicians advise water re- w0 * peatedly, but we do not get the habit. We are perhaps busy, and may allow a day to go by without one glass of water between meals; then we drink freely while we eat, which is w^rse thanjnot drink ing water at all, as it retards digestion, especially when the water is icy cold. One should drink water four times a day regularly, half an hour after breakfast, after luncheon, af ter dinner and half an hour before retiring, the tempera ture to suit individual taste (except Very cold). The quan tity should never be less than four to six large glasses or three pints in twenty-four hours; the water should not be ice cold, nor of a nauseating lukewarmth. Many benefit by a cup of hot water before breakfast in the morning, and it troubled with a form of in digestion called “gas” half a teaspoonful of powdered char coal should be added. It af fords speedy relief; then omit any liquid at meals. Avoid fatty, rich foods; masticate thoroughly and slowly. It is surprising how soon one be comes used to not drinking while eating, and also how soon the good results will be manifest. Many feel better when they drink a smaller quantity more frequently; bat the iudividual must be his own judge regard ing this, just so long as he imbibes his prescribed three pints in twenty-four hours. One woman, whose skin is the admiration of all, washes her face with lukewarm water, the best toilet soap and a piece of soft old flannel each night upon retiring, and rubs it very gently upward with au old linen towel. Then she sips a cupful of hot water; in the morning she dashes cold wa ter over her face and neck and pats it dry with a Turkish, towel, and sips a cupful of hot water again. She has never usjed a cosmetic, and attributes the beauty of her skin to the generous use of water, both internally and externally. To keep the blood iu per fect circulation there is no better aid than bathing. Use a Turkish towel mitten for the scrub-off aud a huck, or Turkish, towel for the vigor ous afterrub. This is most beneficial as a tonic bath. A little snlt added sometimes gives good results to those in poor health. The value of systematic aud proper use of water is really wonderful, but for a person who is physically weak (un less it is ordered by a physi cian) the cold “dip” iu the morning should not be indul- get in. Sometimes it depresses, and again it accelerates the heart action, and causes ex haustion or sinking. After a strenuous day, what a luxury R ' K to have a sponge or tub bath, to don fresh linen and to sit down and rest. One should not indulge in it while warm, or immediately after eating however. Water is one of thegreatlpt luxuries, and one which rifch and poor may enjoy with equal freedom. Weak Women nmit bn sowblnixi.
