I certainly, appreciate the way you |
•• who ordered badges about a month ago
hare borne with my seeming neglect. '
~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. Notice ;
j the little knob and work it a few times I
before you fasten it tn your clothes u>
you may have trouble getting it off. .
Invariably I send mine off and go with- ■
•pt one till a new lot comes, so I will ‘

manv say in their letters. "If this enti- i
ties me to a badge pleas* tell me in .

yon have written four letters that have j
been published in Our Household? 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.
T am going to revise the list and If any
of you have moved or married, please
give me your new address when next 1
you write. One never knows when a

Pain in
Heart :
“For two years I had palin
my heart, back and left side.
. 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.

! 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

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

patient.

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.

Be Natural
. Dear Miss Thomas: I think we ought to be
,1 ourselves and nothing else, and not try to be
| like somebody else. 1 don't mean not to do

•'many |ho|il<- stay away from clittrcb bee n use
! th> y" can't be like somebody else. If we cottl.l
’ only see In the future what some other one is
going to be we would be contented with otir
-1 selves. No matter how poor we are we can
1 do good as well as the rich. God Is no resptetev
• of person; He sees it® just where we are, ®o |
‘ why try to "put on;” it won’t make us any j
i better. I do love to see people appear their j
' natural selves. Yo»t may say that I haven't
I the meins to be like somebody else. 1 am glad

I JUDGE FITE INDORSED
BY LOCAL MINISTERS
Judge A. W. Fite’s stand for the en
forcement of the prohibition law In Dade
' county and the state of Georgia was
unanimously indorsed Monday evening by
the Atlanta Evangelical /Ministers’ as
sociation. upon motion of the Rev. Ber
nard Smith.
Mr. Smith explained that the indorse
ment he sought to put in the form of a
motion was not intended to express any
opinion whatever regarding the merits
of the contention between Judge Newnan
'of the federal court, and Judge Fite, of
i the state superior court, nor was it his
' intention that the ministers should take
j sides in the controversy. He simply
wanted Judge Fite to know that the min
isters were with him in his fight for the
enforcement of the prohibition law.
With the explanation the motion went
to a vote and was unanimously carried.
A copy of the resolutions will be drawn
up by the secretary and forwarded to
Judge Fite, at Cartersville.
For #
Sprains
Sloan’s Liniment is the best
remedy for sprains and bruises.
It quiets the pain at once, and
can be applied to the tenderest
part without hurting because it
doesn’t need to be rubbed all
you have to do is to lay it on
lightly. It is a powerful prepa
ration and penetrates instantly
relieves any inflammation and con
gestion, and reduces the swelling.
Here’s the Proof.
Mr. L. Roland. Bishop of Scran
ton, Pa. says: —“On the 7th of
this present month, as I was leaving
the building at noon for lunch, I
slipped and fell, spraining my wrist.
I returned in the afternoon, and at
four o’clock I could not hold a pen
cil in my hand. I returned home
later and purchased a bottle of
Sloan's
Liniment
and used it five or six times before
I went to bed, and the next day I
was able to go to work and use my
hand as usual.”
Sloan’s Liniment
is an excellent anti
septic and germ
killer—heals cuts,
burns, wounds and
contusions, and will

If you had positive proof that a certain remedy for
female ills had made many remarkable cures, would you
not feel like trying it ?
If during the last thirty years we have not succeeded in
convincing every fair-minded woman that Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound has cured thousands and thou
sands of women of the ills peculiar to their sex, then we
long for an opportunity to do so by direct correspondence.
Meanwhile read the following letters which we guarantee
to be genuine and truthful.

inflammation, dreadful pains each month and *

There is absolutely no doubt the
ability of this grand old remedy, made from
the roots and herbs of our fields, to cure
female diseases. We possess volumes of proof of this fact,
enough to convince the most skeptical.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for 7/|/ \\\

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."

• 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.
It is now felt that not only the busi
ness conditions in the country, but the
local situation in the southeast, war
rants a larger campaign for the location
of industries, the bringing of new set
tlers, and a general development work,
that is the resumption in full of the com
pany’s efforts to build up the southeast.
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.

will participate tomorrow at the board meet
ing at Princeton, at which will be presented
a formal report on tbe controversy over thi
proffered gift of $500,000 by William Coupe:
Procter, of Cincinnati, and the sudden with
drawal of tbe offer last week.
•T cannot even guess what the report of th’
Investigating committee will recommend,” sab
Mr. Mcllvaine. “The controversy was due. 1
think, more to a desire to unravel the man
of conditions attached to the Procter offei
than to anything else; but I have not been ti
touch with tbe sitnation since tbe last meet
Ing of the board of trustees, so I know little
about the present status of the affair. Wheth
er Mr. Procter's withdrawal of the offer wll
serve to complicate matters, I cannot say.”
Mr. McCormick and Mr. Jones are already
In Princeton and Mr. Mcllvaine will leave to
day.
