- THE CREATEST BARCAIN
Clothine Naie Ever Seem in Cobb County
___We bought for spot cash from a prominent
Whitehall street. merchant, in Atlanta, about
five thousand dollars’ worth of Men’s and Boys’
Clothing at about 25 cents on the dollar, and we
are going to sell them at
~Just One-Half
what they are marked to sell at. Each suit is
marked in plain figures. The prices range from
ten to twenty dollars. You cannot get a shoddy
suit in this lot, for there is not one in them.
They bear the mark of the finest clothing makers
in the United States. You say, ‘‘What is the
matter with them?’’ Here are the facts: A great
many of themu are not in the latest style, and a
house on Whitehall street that makes a point of
keeping nothing but the ‘latest styles could not
afford to offer them at retail. 8o that is the
reason. We bought them at such a price as to
enable us to sell them at just half price. We
will have this lot of clothing opened up and
ready for your inspection, in our up-stairs room,
on
Saturday, March 7th, 1908,
and then we will be in position to make good
any claims we have made about them. We are
%(I)ing to make the following unheard of offer:

"HOT BATHS IN JAPAN.
The Water the Nattves Use Would
Parboil an Occidental.
The extreme heat at which the
Japenese take their daily baths has
been the cause of wonder on the
part of many Caucasians, and the
prevalent opinion: that one is liable
to catch cZ%nafter a hot bath has
been unable to reconcile itself with
the immaunity of the Japanese from
colds. i i
In a geper entitled “Baths and
Bathing In Japan,” published in the
Jourrmi’ of the Rog:z“ Army Medical
Corps, Major E. ce Barpett ex
glains these things. He says: “The
apanese ,in their persons and
houses are ‘the cleanest persons in
the world, and every man, woman
and child of high or low degree has
8 daily hot bath. The bathing habit
is universal and dates baek to the
days of mythology, the baths being
taken ‘at a temperature which "is.
perfectly astonishing to people who
are only acquainted with the tepid
water of Europe and America.
There are many public baths in
Japan, but near{y every private
house has ome, either in the house
itself or adjacent to it. The or
dinary buth consists of a large wood
on tub, oval in shape and fitted with
‘a cover. At one end it is traversed
by a copper tube, in which charcoal
can be made to burn, the water in
this way being readily raised to the
required temperature. Before he
enters the tub the bather thorough
ly lathers himself from head to fgot
and washes the suds off by means of
a wooden ladle or dipper. He then
gits in the tub immersed up to his
chin for several minutes, enduring
a degree of heat by which a Euro
pean would be well nigh parboiled.
When first Japan began to study
the methods of western pations the
excessive heat of the Dbaths was
strongly condemned, and a law was
made thet the water in the public
baths should be only moderately
heated. This caused great discon
tent, so a committee composed of
European and Japanese medical
men was zvalppointed to decide the
question. The verdict was in favor
of the national custom, which was
Eronounced to be not only harmless,
ut beneficial. The high tempera
ture of the water was said to open
the pores of the skin thorougfify,
even without the use of soap, and a
healthy action of the gkin and clean
liness were secured which it was im
possible to get with any amount of
washmgr in ‘cold or so called hot
baths. The hotter the water tha less

The invizorating cffect of u very

derful and very different from the

; ‘The Famine Baved Wim.
A remerk made many years
says a writer in the London 'Bé‘gl:-
graph, is still numbered among the
fvms in the king’s collection of
rishbgfls.‘ltwuatimeoffam—
ine, and Miss Balfour, the sister of
the former premier of England, Ar
thur Balfour, then chief mm
for lreland, was one of the
hearted bard of men and women
who were Lelping with food and
clothes the victims of those black
days. As she sat in a cabin one
morning an old man called down
blessings on the head of her distin
guished brother und on the hesds
of all those who had ministered to
the wants of the poor.
“And sure, me sweet leddy,” he
said, “if it hadn’t been for the fam
ine it’s starving we’d be this day.”
Writing Letters. i
In the course of our lives, says
a statistician, although we write
many letters, we have not the re
motest idea of the distance our hand
covers while traveling over the pa
per. According to him, the average
man or woman writes about thirty
words a minute, which, with the up
and down strokes and curves, repre
sent something like five yards, or
300 yards an hour.” A person, there
fore, using his pen for, say, two
hours a day can boast that his right
hand has’ journeyed a distance of
120 miles.—London Gentlewoman.
A Difficult Roll Call
The professor of English in one
of our western colleges was noted
for being very absentminded. Ii
was his custom to call the roll each
morning before the lecture. One
morning, after calling a name to
;vhi::h there was no response, he
ooked up, and, peering over his
spectacles, he asked sharply:
“Who is the absentrgoy in the
vacant chair I see before me?”
. A Ready Reply.
It was on aP. and O. liner, and
the stewards were being drilled in
waiting at table. In the course of
the drill they lined up outside the
saloon with empty dmges, ‘supposed
to contain curry andtice,a.gponu
bell being rung marched to their
mecfive tables and proffered the
ish to each seat containing an im
aginary diner. The eagle eye of
the purser noticed that one steward,
& cockney named Bill, deliberately
passed one of the seats without
proffering the dish. He strode up to
the table, and his manner betokened
trouble for Bill (
“Hi, you! What do you mean by
missing that seat ?”
“Oh, that’s all right, eir,” replied
Bill, not a bit put out. “That lflemt
dor’t take curry.”—London Illus
trated Bits. e

We ha;‘eéhp:wn 80 accustomed t;
sunlight he present coloring an
shading that we can scarcely com
prehend the conditions that would
arise if the sun were to suddenly
change to some other color. If the
sun were blue, for instance, there
would .be only two colors in the
world—blne.-and black—or if it
were red,;!tben eve?rthm ing would
be red ‘or black. . In the latter
case we should have red snow, red
lilies, black grass, black clear sky
and red clouds. There would be
little variety, however, if the sun
were green. Things that are row
yellow would still remain that color,
but there would be no reds, purples,
orange or pinks and very few of
those cherry hues that make the
world so bright.

Charged Up to Him.
The proprietor of the celebrated
mountain inn was showing the new
guest the beautiful surroundings. .
“Ah, these cliffs!” said the pro
prietor rapturously. “In an elec
trical storm they are awe inspiring.
The next time a storm rises see that
you are standing on the porch of
the inn. Why, sir, the air 1s always
heavily charged.”
‘I don’t goubt it,” laughed the
new guest, winking at another late
arrival, “and if I donét happen to
be standing on the porch I can feel
assured that it will be heavily charg
od epyway—on my bill”--£*"
