patronage from anyone. He does not
have to enter into competition and

tantly doled out as editors do, in fact
he can be the most independent man
on earth if he so wills. He has more
time and equal opportunities for im
proving his mind ;he has fewer allure
ments for corrupting his morals, and
his oceupation is more conducive to the
highest development of his physieal
power than any other

! We frequently see a man walk into a
grocery store or a cnn‘ectione!‘y, pick
ap an apple, a stick of eandy or a ba
nana, and devour it with as much non
chalance as if he were proprietor of the
establishment. Now, of course, an
apple or a stick of candy isn’t worth
much, but suppose everybody that hap
pens in a store should help themselves
in this fashion, where would the mer
chant’s profit come in? It wouldn t
come in at all, but on the contrary, he
would go broke in a short while. You
have no more right to ‘‘sponge’’ on the
dealer than anybody else. 80, when
ever you want a little fruit or candy,
plank down your nickle and don’t be a
sponge any longer.
A member of the Georgia Legislature
has introduced a bill to prohibit the
manufacture or sale of cigarettes in
‘Georgia, as a proteetion to boys.
There is another remedy that might be
tried in Marietta and elsewhere. “The
laying on of hands” is said to be a sure
cure for the cigarette habit if attended
to at the proper time. The left hand
should be placed upon the youngster’s
neck with a gentle but firm pressure
downward and forward. Bring the ur
chin in a proper attitude over the par
ental knee, then apply the right hand
where it will do the most good. Two
or three treatments will generally effect
a cure.
