THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1913. “BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER” ----- " 1 - • ' -*-■ ' ■' Without good red blooxi a man has a weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness of the blood, or anaetnia, is common in young folk* as well-as old. Especially Is it the case with those who work in illy ventilated factories—or those who are shut up indoors.in winter time with a coal stove burning up the oxygen or emitting carbonic (oxide) gas. This blood, or blood which lacks the red blood corpuscles* in anaemic people may have been caused by lack of good fresh air breathed into lungs, or by poor digestion or dyspepsia. Sometimes people suffer intense nain over the heart which is not heart disease at all. but caused by indigestion. Whatever the cause, there’s jost one remedy that you can turn to-knowing that it has given satisfaction for over 40 years. DR. PIERCE’S ; GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY is a blood cleanser and alterative that starts the liver and stomach into vigorous action. It thus assists the body to manufacture rich red blood which feeds the heart- nerves—brain and organs of the body. The organs work smoothly like machinery running in oil. You feel clean, strong and strenuous instead of tired, weak and faint.

I have received but few in my life, but I have also had enough of them to convince me that there is generated in • the minds of the writers enough hate and spite and malicious promptings to make such missions thoroughly con temptible and despisable. If you desire to inform yourselves as to the identity of the writer and suc ceed in uncovering to the public, you may always expect to find very sorry people at the business. Generally I throw them into the fire that have come in niy way, (for when my husband was in politics he received : - quite a number). I consider them un-v worthy of notice, but occasionally you i run upon screeds that almost betray •* themselves by their incautiousness and 5 spite. These thoughts come to me, sifice ;; receiving one yesterday covering sixteen !J pages of note paper, in which I am held 1 up to contempt because 1 do not con- » tribute $100 to a church (where I do not belong) to pay its debt, and because I do not donate considerable to its pastor jT and wife, to relieve the poor, and be- ' .cause I do not sell -what I have and give ■ to various objects, in which some mod- ern Mrs. Jollaby has some • sentimental Tf Interest, etc., etc. At first I felt truly ; . indignant, until I reflected that such '/• was the design of the writer, namely to iJ offend me and if possible harrass me. r Then I concluded I would sound a note of warning to Semi-Weekly Journal readers, and tell the young and unsus pecting that a person who would use an anonymous letter to stab or sting is none too good to do a more cerious wrong, opportunity being afforded them. It*ls a cowardly proceeding, to speak mildly of such an offense against fair dealing. No gentleman or lady could afford to use such missives, and vulgari ty always exploits Itself where decency and good breeding declines to go. It is in one sense ruffianly, because it stabs in the dark, but I repeat it is always cowardly no matter who does it, as it is intended to conceal the assailant and (leaHST ffbadly blow. I have seen an entire school set by thje ears wjlttY tale bearers and scam^ 2 - 1 ‘ttioftgers—but you" could trace the au- thours of the disturbance, if the probe ,t ; was appliedbut an anonymous letter, i * with a disguised handwriting can do its work even more secretly. Tho^e who *' write such unsigned letters are bent on. mischief, and you may expect such peo- - pie to deny authorship when cornered. * I have often heard it said that a crim inal would be expected to lie if con- * victed of theft. 3 I am also saitsfied that anonymous letters are set forth by people who I would steal one’s good name and ex pect to lie out of it. \ If my contributions were deemed nec essary, (which I assume to say—was jj my business, not theirs) it would have been easy enough to have made a per sonal appeal, and they could have saved their credit and their manners, ir I had declined to “fork over”; but that was not the -purpose. It was the slimy at tempt to bully me into doing something that they proposed to exult over—if I did or if I didn’t. The letter was sent through our own postoffice, and written*in .our town. When I corner the writer, I’ll give you a sequel to this article a sort of con tinued story. Boys and girls, anonymous letters are as bad as dynamite in the hands of a vicious people. Beware of them, because they are vicious in purpose, and deadly in their intent to injure. Hr A GENTLEMAN. If I should endeavor to define the character of a gentleman, I should most likely be at a loss for exactly the most suitable words to convey my mean ing. In my long life with considerable acquaintance with people, some with reputation and fame and others who were of less exploitation, I have al ways found that highly cultivated men are ever the least conceited, and the most pretentious are every men of small understanding. Chesterfield decided that “politeness” was the njost •fitting syllable for such deflriitjypn, but I do not believe that politeness covers all that the. world gentleman implies. Considerateness is obliged . to be a great factor and a delicacy in assum ing prominence ,lr\ positions. . I. think a gentleman teacher is a long step ahead of a tyrannical teacher because one is considerate of those under his discip line. The children are weak because of lack of experience, and the teacher’s ex ample is the thing that -counts in man aging schools, the employed and the de pendent in families. Sometimes we can mark great minds by their bashful natures, but that will not serve for a rigid rule, because weak and vicious people mask their Inclina tions Very often by a timid attitude. Nevertheless, a vulgar mind will gen erally show itself by bullying methods —and by a neglect of the Common or simple courtesies of life—even though there is money and prominence to back up tWir pretensions; A gentleman not lie or steal—and he will not abusfe the confidence of those who trust his word or his honor. It is unfortunate that some men in high places will sell their .votes and betray their constitu ents, and still find sychophants and vapid flatterers. I know a case in point where a United States senator sold him self to a great railroad syndicate, and floated' on 'the money he procured by suefh dishonor 1 , and yet there are people who still boast of that man’s greatness in public speeches. A man must have integrity, to be a gentleman. CLERGY PAYS TRIBUTE TO AMBASSADOR BRYCE Miss Sylvia Pankliurst Says Strange Man's Assistance 1 Humiliates Her (Special Dispatch; to The Journal.) 1 , LONDON, Feb. l£>.—The American suffragettes, Miss Seline Anderson, and Miss Sylvia Pankhyrst, sent to prisohi for eight and five weeks respectively, tonight were- liberated when an uniden tified man paid their fines, amounting hi all to $50. Both young women pro tested vigorously against leaving their cecils, saying that* they refused to pay a fine k because they would not pay tribute “to a man-made government” and thought it unfair that, money should be accepted for them without their consent. Both were on a hunger strike, hav ing refused all foods since they were sent to jail, from, Thames police court, Friday. Miss Anderson and Miss Pankhurst were arrested Thursday night after one had thrown a stone through a window'. Both vigorously resisted ar rest, kicking, biting and scratching the policeman who "took ‘hem into custody. MAN’S AID HUMILIATING. It was the second time that Miss Pankhurst has undergone the humili ation of accepting assistance from a man. From the fact that it was a strange man at that, incensed the .mili tant daughter of Mrs. Emmelyn Pank hurst the more. Miss Pankhurst W’as arrested on the night that the franchise reform bill was withdrawn by Premier Asquith in the house of commons. She was then in company with General Mrs. Flora Drummond, and was charged with re sisting an officer. At the trial for' that i offense, the girl refused to answer any ! question and shouted “Votes for women” at the top of her voice all the time she was, in court. The day after she was jailed, a man paid her fine. General Drummond and Mrs. Despard also had to accept the ‘assistance of some man unknown .to them. A large force of Scotland Yard men tonight were trying to ferret the iden tity of the 4 suffragettes who mutilated more than &. dozen golf links early to day, but no arrests were made. The officers also, failed to apprehend the suffragettes who this afternoon deluged with greeri paint a box filled with outgoing American mail at Chai-, inj Cross postoffice.

Pearl St., CINCINNATI, O. R, 1 C THE DEGENERATION OF PROFESSOR WILLIAM JAMES SINCE HIS DEATH By ffishop IV. A. Candler she is alj>le to see a clearer way to wards*-peace of mind. It is the spend habit that tends to ward to penury—and it is the thrift habit that tends upward to independ ence and self respect. % Children who run to town as soOn as somebody gives them a nickle and spends because they have not. regard to thrift, will soon grow up with the spend habit ingrafted into their natures. Parents are'to be censured who do not chqck this silly spendthrift conduct. THE THRIFT HABIT. ^Thjg^e is? a Well-cteflned thrift .habit, also si. prevailing spending habit, and thees twp' in their extreme limits are also deemed prosperity and poverty. A wage earner who gets a daily sal ary and fails to save a little of* it, will surely run upoi\ a crisis where the lack of the saving will bring mortification if nothing more. The spend habit will eat out the best salary, if more goes out than can possibly come in. Every sum Is wasted that does not £o for our actual needs and for^ things that add nothing to our comfort, or to the happiness of others. I once heard of a girl Who was em ployed to run a sewing machine on fine silk fabrics, and who earned from four to six dollars a week. Every day she bought five cents of chewing gum and chewed all day. This constant chewing injured her teeth and her digestion, until she finally collapsed with gastric fever. If she had saved that five cents a day the would have saved nearly twenty dollars in money alone, besides protecting her health. In five years she had spent nearly one hundred dollars—that was worse than wasted. Every right-ind- ed, self-respecting 1 woman shrinks from becoming dependent on charity or a bur den on her friends. If she saved only a little out of her . income or her wages, For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Professor William James, late Profes sor in ; Harvard University and author of “Varieties of Religious Experiences” and other bbOks, wh-o died a few years ago, seems to be • degenerating in the spiritual world,, if ,we may trust the spiritualistic cornifinmeations which gome of his quondam friends and asso ciates claim" ttf&t h«. ha^ been sending to them. , ! - . Some , months ago tfiey ‘ say he" sent .through the , medium of a half-witted boy a message to the - effect that lie desired a 'Christinas present of a black necktie and-two., pairs of pink pajrfmas to give his friend,. Prof. Janies, Servey Hyslop. t It is fair to suppose that his wishes were duly regarded, and-that Prof. Hys lop r got theste bits of apparel during * the ’ recent : holidays. It would have' been - a- pifcy- for ^Prof .'• James to desire such things for his friend, and being unable to down to him. should have •nobody earth who would attend to • the smsbli ^eftnmission on his behalf. DoubtlqsS^^rofy; Hyslop got the necktie and-the pajamas, the one to wear by day and' the Others 'by night to the satisfaction of his. departed associate, whe -seems to bis .“So near and yet so far,”—near enough ‘ to note the defi ciencies in* Hy Si op’s Wardrobe and yet too far to supply said deficiencies by his own ; hand. It is evident that Prof. James got some one to make the Christ mas present for him; for otherwise we may suppose he would have become dis couraged by the iheffeciveness of his communications and have refused to talk more. Who would care to hav^ fur ther communications* with friends who would not run qulc&ly at his. word and buy as small a», pyp^ent for Hyslop as WOMEN THE WORL VER A FACTORY GIRL'S WORLD. BY VIDA SUTTON A ~w m Exact Copy of Wrapper, THE OtNTAUR OOMFANT. NCW YORK OITY. “Good mornin’, Miss, I wuz witin’ fer ye.” She stood at the entrance to. the underground iA Aldgate, White chapel district, London, a handsome, dark-haired young woman, her face beaming and eyes aglow at the thought of a holiday. “When I told me mites to the factory I wu tikin’ the day off to show a ledy about the Lonnon ’as I knows, an’ the factories, they says to me, ‘My word, you’ve got your nerve a brigin’ a leday down ’ere. Don’t let the foreman, see ’er; miyebe she’ll get took on! Ain’t you shimed to walk along the streets with ’er,’ th e says. ‘No,’ I says, ‘if I wu in rags an’ 'er in silks an’ satins, an’ wantin’ to know about these -’ere places, I’ fetch ’er,’ I says. We went first to Marshal VJck’s Docks, a great row of low buildings on the wharf, where hundreds of girls were working, unloading huge bundles of filthy sacks, from the barges and sorting them to mend and wash. “This is where I worked arter my mother died, an’ dad couldn’t keep me livin’ at ’ome. When I come ’-ere I got 8 bob, pide 7 for lodgings out, 1 bob that left* me (25 cents) for clothes; an* I 'arn’t none noo for carfare, an’ walked a mile to work of mornln’s. I tries to better myself an’ gets a job to the bot tle factory , down yonder. The sime money, but not such dirty work. In the block below were the ware houses and wharves of this factory. Here again wer e crowds of girls unload ing casks of bottles and washing them in a cold and draughty place, working from 6 in the morning till 6 at night for a wage they could not live on. “This ’er is a terrible neighbor’ood for girls. Lots of ’em, not more’n sixteen ‘as bibies or tikes to the streets. They’re, alius ’ungry, them ’as asn’t ’omes. They gets tired tryin’ to live dtcint and they says, ‘We can’t get money by fair means we'll ’ave It by foul.’ Or mlybe some chap gets sweet on ’em an’ axes ’em to ’ave a bi^ of dinner. They goes to the ‘pub’ artu, gets a bit jagged, an* it’s all up with ’em. I ain’t blimin’ the girls. My word. I knows wot it is to live on eight bob a week, gettin’ up at 4 in the mornin’ an’ walkin’ to work. I left this 'ere 'ole an’ got a job In the jam factory—pide three bob for clogs to ^vear on me feet; we stands in . the water all die—and I gets ten bob a week, along of the rheumitics we takes with the cold. I tried it an’ lived with my married sister, near. She ’adn’t no toom fer'me, but I slept on the floor. Gave ’er seven bob a week fer board an’ lodg in’, but ’er 'usband ’adn’t work an’ the kids ’ad to ’ave my dinner. ’Ad to pawn me coat I wuz payin’ a bob a week fer to the dealer to feed the kids. Then I tried 'op pickin’ in Kent, but I took sick. There wuzn’t no plaice for me then but the work-’ouse or the street, if it ’adn’t been fer my young man. ’Ee took me ’ome to ’is mother. I wuz in luck, I wuz. Mum an’ dad’s givin’ me a home an’ now I got a job at 12 bob a week in the tire factory. I 'fric seven bob to ’em an’ live decint. Things is better now fer me, tho’ my sicters arnin ell w’ith eh four kida Me an’ my young man is keepin’ company, but we’avn’t set no weddin’. I’m fer bet ter’n oursels afore we fetch others into this world, with things as they are. I got. a job, an’ I’m willin’ to stiy in it. It ain’t a bad plice. Though the smells is awful. Some of the girls faints an’ some of ’em dies, but there’s alius othors to tike their plice. We ain’t got no ledy Inspector like we oughter ’ave down 'ere. The man ’ee walks through, but 'ee never. sees nothin’, and it ain’t likely to be better. Wot I want ter know is 'ow things is to be piide better. I never learned nothin' about that ter school, an’ goes till I wuz thirteen. Headin’ an’ writin’ an’ figurin’ I le&r$ed.

I wants ter know about these ’ere times; an’ ’ow to get on in the futoor. That’s wot. They don’t larn ye that in the schools. An’ wots the good of ’em, I says. I got ’ands an’ eyes an a ’ead, an’ I says tb myself I’d like to know ’ow to use ’em to better myself, I would. % The sime with my mites to the factory. But working as we 'as to, bed an’ work, bed an’ work, exceptin’ Sunday’s a ’ead ain’t bloomin’ good to you. The "less^ye thinks mybe the better it is.” We stood at the" gates watching the hundreds of pallid, thin, tired out old young women pouring out of the tire factory. Not one lp'oked really healthy or well fed. “An some of ’em ’as to walk a mile ’ome from ’ere, and some of ’em won’t ’ave no dinner, neither, when they gets there. Can ye tell, leddy, ’ow ’avin’ a ’ead an’ a ’eart Is any good to yer, if things ain’t never no better nor this?” HOW MRS. BIOWN SUFFERED During Change of Life—How Lydia E.

Be fore I took your med icine I could not bear the weight of my clothes and was bloated very badly. I doctored with three doctors but they did me no good. They said nature must have its way. My sister advised me to take Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound and I purchased a bottle. Before it was gone the bloating left me and I Was not so sore.

Yonr letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held In strict confidence. “a black-necktie and two pairs of pink pajamas”? There chn be no reasonable doubt that Hyslop lias ..that black neck tie and those pink pajamas; for Prof. Jameis Is not discouraged, but contipues to talk; and he always talks in Hyslop’s interest. A press dispatch dated New York January 23 says: Dr. James H. Hyslop, of the American Society for Psychical Rereach, makes the statement thai T he had received a private message from his friend, WiL liam James, professor of philosophy at Harvard, who died about three years ago, warning him of an evil spirit or influence, a “poVtergeist,” which cun ningly leaves razor blades and matches in places where they might do the most harm; an evil shade which lurks in the dark and hurls ink-stands and heavy stones at the heads of true believers in spiritualism. The last message from Professor James asked Dr. Hyslop to write a mes sage against woman suffrage. Now what can poor Hyslop do? James says the “speerits” are afteiv him with razor blades and matches and ink-stands and stones; and yet he di rects him to stir up the window- smashing suffragettes by writing a message against their delusion, which they seek to promote by “hikes” in America and riots in England. Prof. James ought not to send Hyslop into more perils than the evil spirits are seeking to bring upon him. It is quite evident that different classes of mallg-.. nant spirits are after the poor man al ready without adding the suffragettes to the attacking forces. Anybody can see that the spirits of some enraged colo.red citizens are after him; for who but a colored spirit would attack him with a razor? Of' course, most of the suffragettes have no razors, and they can not throw rocks with 'any sort of knowledge of whether their mis siles will hit Hyslop in front of them or some of their own company behind them; but they can use tackhammers with precision.. And how does Prof.: James know that none of them will drive a nail in- his temple, . like _ Jael did Sisera? It is not a fair thing for him, away off in the spiritual world out of reach of hammers and nails, to send Hyslop into such a danger, knowing full well that if the worst comes to the worst he can not get by his own hand so much as a black neck tie or a pair of pink pajamas to his friend to wear in the midst of the fray. Candid people, however highly they may have esteemed Prof. James hitherto, will not hold him blameless for trying to lead poor Hyslop into this new “variety of experience,” while Tie himself s.oars serenely above all' dan ger. No sort of affected interest in Hyslop will be sufficient to convince reasonable people that Prof. James is disposed to give his friend a “square deal” in this matter. Nobody could justly accuse Hyslop of disloyalty to | his talkative friend in the spiritual: world, if he flatly refused to raise this proposed row with the militant suffra-1 | gettes. Who can blame a man for de- ! dining to incur an additional danger when already colored cohorts of the | air are after him with razors and academic spirits are hurling inkstands at him, while spiritualized Huckleber ry Finns are running after him with handsful of stones? Shall a prudent man yield to the request of a friend, to whom he is under no greater obliga tion than that incurred by the gift of a black neck-tie and two pair of pink pajamas, and rush recklessly into a needless peril? Prof. James asks too much In re turn for that small Christmas present, which he ordered sent to Hyslop by the hand of a hair-witted boy. In the old days at Harvard he would have done no such thing. It Is but just to him to say that this want of gen erous care for his friend is out of keeping with his well-known character. When In th e flesh he was a philoso pher, Interested In high themes, whom the Universities of Edinburgh, Padua, Baltimore, and Cambridge delighted to honour with degrees too numerous to j mention; for at the sound of his name Harvard, Johns Hopkins. Edinburgh, | and Padua fell to singing like the an- j clent Psalmists “songs of degrees.” ; Alas! alas! he got out of the flesh, j and lo! he has become absorbed in haberdashery, razors, rocks, and worn- j an’s suffrage. How are the mighty 1 fallen! The last thing Prof. James ought to have done was to die, as the witty Hibernian said; but the trouble with him is that (lying was not the last thing he seems to. have done on earth, that is, if Hyslop can be trusted to report him correctly. It is impos sible to say what effect his recent messages may have on his standing in the invisible circle (?f spirits among! whom he is now moving; but they are ! not helping his reputation among thoughtful people on the earth. Some i might be unkind enough to say that his apparent degeneration since his depar- J turo is only a case of reversion to type, he having been descended from Swedenborgiap ancestry; but I 9-m not ready to accept any such view. It seems to be nothing more than a case of Hyslopipg. He was tending In that direction before he died, and the mo mentum of his movement seems not to have spent itself at death. Any one *can se^with half an eye that these communications from the disem bodied James are marked with distinct characteristics of the Hyslop type of mind. The hands may be of the Esau James sort, but the voice is the voice of the Jacob Hyslop kind. In fact it is an interesting thing to note how disembodied spirits are addicted to mimicking the voices and manner of the mediums through whom they talk. They even adopt the errors of grammar and spelling which belong to the people to whom they make their communications On one occasion a gen tleman showed me a message which he had recently received from General Washington, who from the spiritual world had written him a communica tion advising him as to the course which he should pursue with reference to a certain political campaign • which was then pending. Bfelhg somewhat per plexed • myself as to how a patriotic Amerioan citizen should vote at that crisis in our country’s history, and hav ing great respect for the venerated fa ther of the republic, I was most eager to read what he had to say on the pending issues. But when; 1 read the communication I observed the spelling was so bad and the grammar so incor rect, and that General Washington had forgotten so many essential facts in the history of our government, I de clined to follow his advice. And I dis covered the General had not only adopt ed the bad spelling and grammar and incorrect history of the party to whom he had sent the message, but had gone on and adopted all his political preju dices and joined his political party. I firmly refused to follow a Washington who .was so subject to unworthy influ ence. I think I did right. A man might.as well turn Hessian, and be done with it, as to follow the political advice of a degenerate Washington who has forgotten the history of his country^ The thing is not to be thought of. will not do at all. It were better be a Bull Moose and paw up the dlrf and bellow at the sight of the federal constitution. I Just could not get m consent to follow any such Washtngto Seriously: Some people are fond saying, “There is something in spirit ualism”. No doubt there is. There ii in it whatever is put in it; and one gets out what he puts in. No more. A talking James is no more than an echc of Hyslop. Simply this and nothing more. jntryi :,a a si OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ■ 1 Miss Duncan, of Oklahoma; Makes Few Plain State- i ments for Publication in Interest of Women Chapel, Okla.—“Please print this letj ter,l’ writes Miss Mollie Duncan, of this place, “as it may reach, and help, sonlJ poor suffering woman. « For 17 years I had been afflicted with womanly troubles, and had tried differ- gjpt treatments, but none of them helped me any.
