' ~r With one exception you have been most | ’ considerate, and there must be one rude person among even the best of House ■ holders so I take the one insinuatiot. • - that I stole the money, for what it is worth. Before Christmas the manufacturer pri-ualsed me a dozen badges; you know I have to get them by the dosen to get . them at fl When they were nearly done the engraver was taken sick, and if any ~ of you know the hopefulness of Mine folks you can understand how I wa« • promised about twice a week, to be giv en some of them in a few days. I have been too busy and too much overcome with a cold to write a letter when there was a probability of the badges being finished in a day or so. I am happy to say that I have a dosen on hand and can supply that many right away. I am glad that you told me about ■ • the catches. I’ve seen the maker and he i • has put a safety catch on these.

That decides the question for you. And please • give your pen names as well as your i real name when writing for the badge. I have over *» names on the register and. have them arranged with the pen names first, and your name is not easy to find unless you give the other.

Since reading the letter from th* pen of my brother Texan. I hare been watritiag my fingers to see them turning yel low and looking up to the man with the uni form that has stripes running borisontal. who also wears jewelry on his ankels. He says that the smoking of cigarettes makes either Mots. criminals or inralids. And as I bare been smoking the little thing* for 1» years. I most be one of the three. When 1 have finished I want some ooe to tell the readers nt th* Hoosebold to which 1 belong. • Am I an invalid?

( mar readers, don’t think that I am uphold-1 . tag the habit, as it is carried on by a great many of the beys and some girls. Os all the detectable things, the most de taatable is to see a crowd or mob of bora smoking and puffing smoke about where ladles hare to be.

Could not draw a deep breath • or lie on left side, and any little exertion would cause palpita tion. Under advice I took Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy and Nervine. I took about thirteen i bottles, am in better health than I ever was. and have gained 14 pounds.” MRS. LILLIE THOMAS. Upper Sandusky, Ohio. For many years Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy has been very successful in the treatment of troubles, because of its tonic effect upon the heart nerves and muscles. Even in severe cases of long standing it has frequently prolonged life for many years after doctors had given up all hope, as proven by thousands of letters we have re ceived from grateful people.

Elkhart, In*. ! never hear from those you write, you may (take it for granted the addresses were ’ not correctly given me or the parties did I not care to answer. Please don’t close a I letter by saying that you would like post -1 cards and then sign your pen name and [expect me to forward them; don't adver tise for anything and expect me to for ward them. When the name and postoffiee are both changed the government natur ally expects a new envelope and stamp. Again I ask you to please leave at least half an inch at the top of your pages and and one line at the bottom, and don't crowd your name on the line with the body of your letter, put It on the line be low so that the printers won’t have to guess at it. One girl asks me to say in Chat why her letters are not published. As there are dozens that go to the wastebasket for the same reason I will do so. She began by saying that she had four brothers and two sisters, told who were married and who were at home. She gave her weight, color of hair and eyes and what she liked. She said what sort of boys she liked, and bragged on her own work and signed —well, I won’t tell you what she called ' herself ;but such letters are usually signed j Brown Eyes, Rosebud. Papa’s Pct, or ! something equally silly. Girls, if you have any intention of writ [ ing any such a letter, please don’t. Write I something that some one will be interest . ed in. Who would thank me if I took up this space with any such? Say some- I thing, put yourself tn the reader's place, and see if you' would care for a letter signed Rosebud. Do you expect anything ; but sweetness from the roses? Write your I opinion of something you really know ' about. Don’t send me a letter on supposi tion; don’t be pharasaical and abuse some Jone’s shortcomings and wind up by say- I lug you never did that way. , This page is for each one to express his or her opinions freely, but don’t imag ine that baceause I publish a letter that I always indorse it. All of us need pa tience and It’s a good thing to hear opln ■ ions on both sides of a question. ' We who claim to be Christians should [be especially careful how we express our •opinions. There is as much harm done iby intemperance in language as In any j thing else. Judge not. and even when j you feel convinced of a wrong, remember how many times you have disappointed God. how He has borne with you and be patient. Faithfully yours. LIZZIE O.

Got Her Badge ' Dear Miss Thomas: I come to tell yon that I got my badge all right and think it Is pretty and feel proud of the honor It bears. 1 know but one of Our Household members. She signs her name “Thistle," and she Is one of tlie best little women I ever knew. Sbe has bad health and don’t write often, bnt it would do us all good to hear from ber. It is a long time ago. but I will tell you how. I spent my Thanksgiving day. I had been in vited to a turkey dinner, but Wednesday morn ing my husband got up determined to kill some hogs. I .wanted it postponed, but as he is “boss." I didn't say anything, so I spent that day drying up lard and making sausage. 1 felt that I had many things to be thankful for and I am glad we can work and pray sit the same time. I rejoiced over the prohibition law-, bnt T don’t see any difference where I live. Other states are flooding old Georgia with whisky and the most of the people seem to be wild over it. I pray God to give us men good enough to stamp it out As Sam Jones said. I will fight It until I die. and If It don’t do any good I will die in a good cause. No one enjoys the Household page more than myself. Best wishes to all. GREAT GRANDMA. Another Badqe Wearer Dear Household: I have thought ever since I received my badge that I would write, but neglected to do so. I am well pleased with my bndgv. the only objection Is, the fasten ing is net as secure as 1 would like. I lost mine a few nights ago nnd when I missed it I thought I was ruined. Luckily I found it without having to search long: found it on the floor. Someone had stepped on It and now there art* a few scratches on tfte shining sur face. but outside of that It is all right. I haven’t met a single badge wearer yet. Syl va-iins Stnlh and I live near the same place, bnt I haven’t the misfortune of knowing him. T1 c weather has been so disagreeable that Christmas was pretty dull in this section. I 1 ave enjoyed the fireside so well that only three Hines have I been induceed ,to leave It. I ventured out Christmas day. tiro miles from home, and soon found out that it was not pleas ant to be out long. If Frank Snell gives a candid opinion on all subjects relating to the fair sex. 1 agree that there are girls who do not prefer thcc company of dpcent. quiet Christian gentlemen, but there are many boys who would be like a fish out of water in comp.anv with a modest, quiet Christian young lady. Wlct.uw I’m intitled to a badge or not. I am wearing one. I have averaged at least three letters a year for the last five years. A pleasant and prosperous year to all. Ixtgansvllle. Ga. BETH.

Story Teller Once again the conversation had veered round to thrilling adventure. “That reminds me of an experience I had some time ago,” remarked a niem er. "I was riding a brakeless bicycle down a steep hill, when all of a sudden the chain snapped and I careened down the rest of the hill quicker than greased lightning. “The road down the hill took a turn at direct angles, and in the corner of the angle stood a cottage. I was wondering what the verdict would be at the Inquest when I saw a man rest a plank of wood against the eaves of the cottage. “I went straight for the plank, over the roof and down the other- side. Lucki ly, the cottager’s wife and daughters were shaking carpets, and alighting on an outstretched carpet, I was gently lowered to the ground.” A dead, dull silence descended on the company, which was broken by the hiss ing of a soda water siphon. A young farmer was selling eggs In town the other morning when a bartend er walked up to him and asked him the price of a dozen eggs. The farmer an swered 40 cents a dozen, and as there was an extra egg in the dozen he wanted 3 cents extra, but the bartender wanted It thrown ia with the bargain. “Wsll," said the man who sells' the liquor, "I will take the egg and treat ybu to a drink.” “All right," said the farmer. When they came to the tavern he was asked what he would drink, to which he re plied: “Well. I alius drink sherry with -n in It.” This bit of brightness is said to have cropped out in a conversation between two misses not old enough to go to school: "What makes a horse act naughty when he sees an auto?” “It Is this way: Horses is used to see in’ other horses pull wagons, and they don't know what to think of ’em goin’ aYong without a horse. Guess if you saw a pair of panta walkin’ down the street without a man in 'em you’d be scared, too." southerFto enlarge • ITS PUBLICITY FEATURE (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—President Fin ley announced today that the South ern railway will in the near future, through its land and industrial depart ment, again enlarge the publicity and promotion work which it has carried on for the development of the country reach ed by its lines. It was necessary to cur tail this work somewhat following the business depression of 1907, on account of both general and special conditions.

In carrying out this policy, there will be a larger use of the trade, agricultural, and other newspapers and periodicals of the north and west, the publication of many special pamphlets, exhibits al many northern fairs, and a larger work in northern Europe. The Southern has found that one of the best methods of publicity is in the ex hibits of the products of its territory at the larger fairs held in the north and west, and more attention than ever will be paid to this line of work. The south will be advertised in northern European countries by the circulation of specially prepared matter, and by the use of news papers, in away that is consistent with our immigration laws 4nd as is permit ted by the laws of the respective coun- I tries. The Southern has maintained for some J years a European agency of its land and I industrial department, with headquarters i in London, which will carry on the prose- [ cution of active efforts to interest land- I seekers and Investors from that side of the ocean in the south. The most thor- I ough co-operation possible is to be given to local business and other organizations in the development of the various com munities along the Southern system.
