To' become more efficient depends largely upon be coming more heathful. To become more healthful depends first upon pure, wholesome food, correctly pre pared, plenty of pure water, and an abundance of fresh air. Concerning the latter: We are not living in a large, crowded city where pure air is vitiated by smoke and impurities, but we have free access to the fresh ozone of the Blue Ridge mountians. Now, as to water: Until recently I Gainesville has had good water, i Could any one call it pure and good I now, if they only use their God-given senses of smell and taste? Impure water is a powerful foe to good health, and a breeder of many dis eases, such as typhoid fever. We hope that Gainesville will soon HAVE and KEEP pure water. Now, as to food: It depends al most entirely upon the women in the homes as to the kind of foods that the individual consumes. Women of Gainesville, let us be determined to study the needs of the body, and serve on our tables properly prepared, nourishing foods and NO malnutritions ones. Also let us demand from dur market men fresh and sanitary fish and meats; from our grocers, fruit and vegetable dealers only the fresh and sanitary foods, and from our daiaries only fresh and pure milk, kept in sanitary bottles and vessels. If we demand these kind we will get them, and it stands as a matter of course we will get them if laws are enforced regard ing such foods. Now last, but not least, we must have proper surroundings to build and sustain efficient citizens. Gainesville cannot be called beauti ful until all alleys and individual premises are kept clean and free from dilapidated buildings aud fences, and when Gainesville is free from flies. There are a few vacant lots in town that need immediate attention, and one or two not far from the Square. If livery stables and all places where stock is confined be kept clean and as sanitary as possible, we would soon see very few flies. Manure should be kept boxed and screened, so that it would be an impossible fiy breeder. The writer knows of other places where laws demand the use of such boxes. Let us hope that Gainesville laws will become more stringent where one’s health is involved. A Member of Committee on Food and Sanitation of ,Civic League. Saintly Woman Passes Away. Mrs. Elizabeth Terrell passed away last Saturday evening at 6 o’clock at the residence of her son, Mr. H. A.

Lovingood of At lanta, and Mrs. W. B. Miller of Atlanta. The many floral designs presented over the bier, ami the long concourse of friends that assembled to pay a last tribute of love to the deceased, were testimony of the esteem in which she was held by those who knew her best. Card of Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Terrell and family desire to express their deep appreciation to their friends who were so kind to them during the illness and death of their mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Terrell.

One of the readers of the Edsitis Lake Region writes the editor of that paper as follows: To the married man who cannot get along without his drinks we sug gest the following as a solution to the bondage of his habit: ‘"Start a saloon in your own house. Be the only customer. You will have no license to pay. Go to your wife and give her $2 to buy a gallon of whiskey, and remember, there’s 69 drinks in one gallon. ‘•Buy your drinks from no one but your wife, and by the time the first gallon is gone, she will have $8 to put in the bank and $2 to start busi ness again. • "Should you live ten years and , continue to buy booze from her, and then die with snakes in your hoots, she will have enough money to bury you decently, educate your children, I buy a house and lot, marry a decent I man, and quit thinking about you.” Jackson's Nominees.

It reported by unreffiable parties that we are mimufai-tUTiug ice out of la’aneh waters Inasmuch as the ! city of Gainesville is furnishing us water from Pecifer Branch and Cry Creek, from the City’s Water Sta tion, this is true —the same branch waiter that everybody in Gainesville is using that secures water from the city. However, as to our manufac turing ice ou t of dirty branch water, there is not a reliable man or woman in Gainesville who will make an af fidavit to that effect, because it is i not true. If there is, we will give I the people the benefit of such ai!®da ! vit. Our friends are not putting out such a report. We suppose the public is well in formed as to what kind of water the ice heretofore shipped into Gaines ville was made of. As to charging too much for ice, the people of Covington, as well as those living in several other small towns, were told the same thing re cently by a set of dummy ice ped dlers (backed by the Atlantic Ice Trust). Now Covington has no ice factory, prices there are at top notch, and service and quality are considerably lowered. We hope the people of Gainesville will take warning from the misfor tunes of other small towns, and make it unanimous in Gainesville to support the home ice factory, as it has done the past few years. We desire al this time to thank the public for the support given us, and will assure you of the best prices to be had, the best ice made, and the service admittedly the best Gaines ville ever enjoyed.

Were there no night we could not read the stars; < The heavens would turn into a blinding glare; Freedom is best seen through the prison bars. And rough seas make the haven passing fair. We cannot measure joys but by their loss; When blessings fade away we see them then; Our richest clusters grow around the cross, And in the night time angels sing to men. The seed must first be buried deep in earth Before the lily opens to the sky; So “light is sown’’ and gladness has its birth In the dark deeps where we can only cry. “Life out of death’’ is heaven’s unwritten law; No, it is written in a myriad forms; The victor's palm grows on the fields of war. * And strength and beauty are the fruit of storms. Come, then, my soul, be brave to do and bear: Thy life is bruised that it may be more sweet; The cross will soon be left, the crown we'll wear; No, we will cast it at our Saviour’s feet. And be among the glories never told. Sweeter than the music of the marriage bell. Our hands will strike the vibrant harp of gold, f To the glad song. “Who doeth all things well.’’ —Henry Burton.
