THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA; GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1913. “BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER” Without good red blood a man lias a weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness of the blood, or anaemia, is common in young folks 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 pain over the heart which is not heart.disease at all, but caused by indigestion. Whatever the cause, there’s just 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 vjgorous action.

Busy Bee throws down the gauntlet to the amateur gardeners and, in a way, to the chicken raisers. Both subjects Interest me. From my childhood chick ens have been a hobby of mine, al though my many years in the heart of a city have kept me in touch with them only through the poultry journals and poultry shows. Last year my sister's beautiful Buff Orpingtons kindled anew the enthusiasm and this year I am in the middle of t;en acres and am rais ing chickens and a garden, too. The cabbage plants were set out two or three weeks ago. I did that part myself, and can testify to the fact that •20.0 holes dug, plants dropped and firm ly placed is no small job for a woman who has been at a desk for years. The Lady of Elegant leisure met me last week and exclaimed over my tan and the change in my hands. This^week I have planted beets, rad ishes, onions and turnips; some time ago I planted asparagus and early peas. To morrow, if nothing prevents, I am going to cut potatoes, and I am going to plant them on the decrease of the moon. One of my farmer friends says that I am courting disaster. We shall see later on. There Is one oats patch ready for the little chickens, another has been planted and a nice patch of rape also. I am go ing by what Mr. Loring Brown says, and hope to have all of my little chick ens out of the way before w>rm weath er comes. I only moved here the day before Thanksgiving and bought my first lot of chickens at least ten days later. They are Black Langshans, and more satisfactory chickens I never saw. I bought them because a neighbor had them to sell, and as soon as I saw them I was glad I had the chance. Five hens gave me ninety eggs in January. Then I had another neighbor who had to get rid of eleven Barred Rock pullets and a beautiful cockerel. I again fell a 1. though I know two women who" say that Barred Rocks and the tempers they have aroused may prove a stum bling block on their upward paths. Those last have not laid as well as the Langshans, but “hope springs eternal” in my heart and every time I get six or seven eggs from their side of the fence I beg their pardon and plan all sorts of things. With sixteen hens I couldn’t afford to let any sit, so when still another friend called me up the last week in Decem ber and offered to sell me some day- old Rhode Island Reds I again suc cumbed. There were twenty-six of them and now I ,have eighteen as nice chick ens as you ever saw, and when they were four weeks old I dived in again and have thirty-five that are three weeks old. ' The phone Just rang, and when I answered it I learned that fifty Black Langshan eggs I put in the same friend's incubator are hatching nicely, and, you may think of me next week in all the agony of those first days' with in cubator chickens. Where one has all the equipment for raising Incubator chickens, and has had the incubator just right all the time, I don’t see why they cannot raise them most successfully. But this year I have not spent a dollar on brooders and hovers. I have kept them in a box in the kitchen until they were four weeks old. Then outdoors in a four-foot square box with a sloping top covered with waterproof paper, and a lamp un der it. . .• Rainy days both lots have had to be in the kitchen and the three weeks’ old youngsters are there yet when night comes. Mrs. Alexander, nor any mother with just small children, can assume the care of a lot of little chickens in January or February, for they require too much attention. True I leave mine five hours twice a wek, but once I come home and found five chilled—the fire is not warranted to burn when the wind is from a certain quarter. The first week mine were i£d on grits, oatmeal and brhn. Then I added chick feed and a mixed feed. The chick feed is composed of small grain and I purchased it, and that is their morning feed in grft and earth, so that they must scratch for it. I give them warm^water with roup cure the damp days and at least once a week I put a tincture of assafoedita in their drinking water. They do not like it, but I have known assafoedita to effect some wonderful cures among sick chick ens, and thus far mine are splendidly grown. Do you remember in *Webster’s old blue-back speller the story of t^he miJLk- mald who counted her chickens too soon? Well I know a lady who had ten beautiful White Orpingtons “out of dan ger,” as she thought. A dog bit one, lim- berneck struck one, a ’possum reached another and I am not sure that she actually raised any, so I won’t count on any of^ these until they are in the pot or ready to assume the duties of full- fledged hens. I know I am not orthodox in having three varieties of chickens, I have en tered with a mind unbiased and am keeping a record and shall see at the end of the year how these three turn out. I found plenty o£ .houses and runs already on the'place, and thought it a ptiy not to use them. Some tirink 25 cents each a lot of money to pay for day-olds* but to me it seems cheap er than to pay even_ $3 for eggs and prqbably lose hah of ' ''^ham, ’ beside .one's time in To^5rfls~^Tter the incuba tor. I am too busy for all that. Where one can be at home all day and has the time there must be more profit in hatchnig the eggs at home. I believe I’ve told you about every thing except the calf. No, I have no cow, but an old darky asked permis sion to put his calf in my stable. It was doing nobody any good, so I con sented. Naturally the calf was neg lected and, of course, I could not pass it on my way to feed the hens and not feed It. So I bought the creature. Frank was out here Sunday and I be lieve he decided it is large enough to begin to be broken. Some week-end the boys will male© a yoke and break It, or be broken one. % I have a pig sty, a dog kennel and a place for pigeons, but sq far I have been too absorbed, in the chickens and garden to get them inhabited. An hoyest watch dog wouldn’t come amiss, but please excuse me from a bull dog or any that must be chained. A cou sin suggested a toy poodle, but that’s the other extreme. I’ve set my hopes on a Boston bull, but haven’t found one yet. Now comes the most wonderful of all. There is not a cat on the place. I have made freinds with a beautiful white cat that bometimes favors us with his presence, but not one was here when we came, nor did I have one to bring with me. See what a long Chat, all on account of Busy Bee’s challenge. I neglected to say that some of my seed came WOMEN THE WORLD OVER A LABORING MAN’S VIEW OP WOMAN’S SUFFRAGE.

I There Is much concern on the part of the dock workers in the east end of London, for man’s work there, as well as in the factories, is being sup planted by the cheaper labor of women. Women are employed even as steve dores, and unload the barges carrying, light freight, bottles, sacks, etc., and get paid half what a man is paid fdr the s/ne labor. As they do quite as much work for their eight or ten shill ings as the man did for his twenty, the firm is really getting twice the work for the money. A laborer on the docks, George Whale, a chain-healer who has recently become an advocate of Woman suffrage because they are workin’ “more direct! than the Socialist,” told of the condi tions on the Thames wharves out of his own experience. “Yes,” he said, “they’re tikin’ the fe males on in plice of the men. Givin’ ’em arf or less than ’arf wot the men got, and they was gettin’ starvition wiges. They sye the wimmen oughten to tike it. Bht the wimmen ain’t to blime. They got to find woi*k.

It’s the work as aughter be paid for, mikin’ no difference ”oo does it. “This ’ere system is ’ard on the men, but its ’arder on the wimmen. Many a married woman is workin’ when ’er 'us- band can’t get a job, ’cause wimmen’s work is cheap. And ’oo gets the bene fit? The man ownin’ the factory—’ee’s the one.

Deaf* Miss Thomas: With the begin ning of the new year, 1913, it is my de sire to renew my allegiance to Our Household, and I trust that in the year that is to come I may prove a more faithful member than I have been dur ing the year that ha3 just closed. As I look back into the year that is past, I* am able to count many blessings as well as many trials and disappoint ments, and, in the summing up I find that the blessings, though often ob scured for a time, outweigh all else. Now, as I look forward to the coming year it is my chief .desire to prove a blessing to others. As of old I y 4n say, “What queer creatures these Householders be,” for* while none of' us are willing to give up our department, we have allowed it to languish and almost die for lack of an occasional letter from each member. Yet, when we once begin the task it requires but a few moments of our “val uable time.” Now that Rowgan has gain made his appearance among us he may succeed in arousing some of our sleeping members.

I am the mother o.f three little boys, and I find it a hard job to keep them out of mis chief. I am generally busy with my house work and I make hair switches, which take up. much of my time, so I hate to invent some means for the children to be amused and not bother me. with my work. T T believe in a woman doing her part toward helping to keep the home going. I make all my pin money doing the hair work and never neglect my other work either.

I had begun to think that I would never own another, but am feeling good over my pin this beautiful February morning. I hear the notes of a bird, which seems to Golden Text: “The blessing* of Jehovah xnaketh rich and He addeth no sorrow therewith.”—Proverbs 10:22. One of the strongest evidences of the inspiration of the scripture is the fact that it tells the whole truth about its heroes. A human biography of Abram would have left out his failures and emphasized his virtues. One of the mar velous things about this man Abram’s life was yet one of his ^most human ex periences. It surely would seem that if he had had faith enough in God to trust Him to provide for him and his family and flocks throughout the peril ous journey across the desert, he would at least have had faith enough to be lieve He would take care of them in the famine days in Palestine. But just here Abram’s faith failed, and rather than trust God to provide for him, he used what seems to be human wisdom and went down into Egypt, where there was plenty. This journey was not done say, “I am happy, t<*>.” ’Tls so much better in obedience to Gpd and, therefore, was to be happy and gay as to sit up with a long face, and not see any good in anything. “Laugh and tne world laughs with you, •Weep and you weep alone,” are truest words that a poet ever sang.

QENGINE CASTORIA ALWAYS I Bears the Signature of THE TRAMP (A true story, p ‘As I was saying, girls,” said Mrs. Harding, resuming a conversation interrupted by the ar rival of a neighbor and her baby from across the street, “tramps are worthless, and why should I encourage them In their laziness by giving them help?” “We were just discussing the point, Mrs. Gillian,” she continued turning to the neigh bor, “as to whether It’s our duty to give money or food to tramps. I was telling the girls— my nieces from Indiana, you know—that I most certainly do not believe in helping men who come begging. Let them go to work. They are too trifling to do that, they prefer to go tramping around the country.” “But,” ventured timid little Mrs. Gillian, “suppose they are too old to do much work.” ‘Or suppose. Aunt Kate,” said Mary Law- ton, “Its a man who, released from prison, Is making his way to a distant place to begin a better life.” “I don’t want any ex-convicts coming around here,” said Mrs. Harding. “I am not defending tramps generally speak ing,” said Annie Lawton, “but I think we should be governed by circumstances to a great extent. An old man, or one who seems to be sick or afflicted, we can tell usually.” “I give all of them something to eat when they ask for it,” said Mrs. Gillian. “As I tell Tom, my husband, I’d rather be imposed on by a dozen of them with their pitiful tales than to refuse one that is really deserving, and Tom always says, ‘Suit yourself. Mamie.’ ” “But I contend,” said Mrs. Harding, “that instead of giving to worthless tramps we would much better give our money to foreign missions —think of the poor heathen.” “Oh! It’s our duty to give liberally to mis sions,” said Annie, “but mother used to* tell us to do the duty that lies nearest, and I think that we should help tramps some times.” Just then some one opened the front gate and came slowly up the walk. Darkness had gathered. The occupants of the veranda could discern a man coming toward them, but couldn’t see his face clearly. Stand ing hat in hand at the steps, he said, “Will the lady of the house kindly give me some thing to eat? I am very hungry.” “I haven’t anything for you,” answered Mrs. Harding. “I would advise you to go to work, nnd you will have no need to beg.” The man turned away without a word. Some thing in his walk as he went back to the street caused the thought to flash over Mrs. Harding that he was an old man. But she didn’t recall him. She had made an ironclad rule never to help a tramp, and she had no idea of break ing It. '•He walks like an old man,** said Annie; “Aunt Kate, surely you could” “Little Mrs. Gillian half rose from her seat, thinking to call the man to tier house aud give him food—but Mrs. Harding had refused him, and it would seem too pointed—and maybe some one else would help him. He was indeed an old man—old and heart broken. Misfortune and poverty had fastened their clutches on him. His wife, a helpless invalid for years, had been lovingly waited on by him, and every spare moment he had worked hard. When she died, they took his little house and a few acres of land for debt—leaving him penniless, the poorhouse seemingly his only refuge. Any thing but that, he thought. So he started on foot to try to reach a relative living in another state. But the way was, long. His heart grew faint within him. Weary and footsore he came at the close of day to the thriving little town of Elmsworth. Hs asked for food at sev eral places, and when Mrs. Harding also refused him, he was too proud to. ask again. Making his way to the outskirts of the town, he found an old tumbled down house, and tottering in, laid himself on the floor for the night. The summer breeze fanned his brow. Through a hole In the roof the stars shone down upon him. He heard the katydids in the locust trees near, and the sound carried him back to his early married life in the neat little cottage by the roadside. A strange feeling of peace and happiness seemed stealing over him. Was it a dream? He saw his wife no longer afflicted but beautiful and young. Across the floor she led a fair-haired laughing boy. His steps were uncertain. It was his first walk ing lesson. Then he saw with bis fading eyes up in the roof where the stars had shone, an angel form. Se smiled and beckoned to him. All pain and weariness fled. He held out his arms. , The next morning some boys playing in the old mill found him—lying there. It was not a dream, but merciful death.

RAINY DAY AMUSEMENTS Dear Miss Thomas: Will yott let me say a few words on rainy day amusements for the little folks? All you mothers know how hard it is to keep them indoors on rainy days. Their little hands and minds must be employed m some way, so save all your magazines, catalogues, etc., and when a rainy day comes give them to the children, together with a small cheap pair of scissors. Let the smaller ones cut out the pictures, even if they do spoil them they will soon learn to be careful and are being enter tained, then the larger ones can cut out pieces of poetry or Jokes that may appeal to their mind. They will work for hours at It. Have them save the cut-outs and another day give them two or three old books and some paste and let them pute in the pieces. The hooks Just how long they stayed in Egypt we do not know, but in spite of their sins, God. gave him prosperity so that he became very rich in cattle, and in silver and in’ gold. When Pharaoh found out the deceit of Abram he ordered him out of his country. It was very humiliating to Abram to be rebuked by this heathen king who had no fear of God. It brought him to a sense of his own sin; he was convicted of it, and deeply repentant. His repentance took the form which every one’s must if it’s to be effective. He got right up and went back to the land of Canaan, not stopping until he had reached the altar that he had built when he first came into that country. We must begin over again at the beginning. At the place where we left God we will find Him, and we cannot walk with Him until we come back to the place where we left Him and join Him again. » Get a picture in your mind of that scene. Surrounded by his servants, flocks, herds, his nephew and his wife, he kneels before the altar which he built at the beginning, and calls upon the name of Jehovah, asking forgiveness for his lack of faith, for his deceit, for his disobedience, and consecrating him self anew to God to do His will. Arising from there, he starts over again his walk with God in faith and by obedience. MAGNANIMITY AND GREED. God had made Abram very rich, and because of his association with Abram, Lot had grown rich. Their flocks and their herds had increased so largely that they were beginning to find it dif ficult to find pasturage enough for them on those hillsides. Prosperity fre quently brings strife, unfortunately, and so it did in this instance. Lot didn’t quarrel with Abram—you can’t quarrel with a man like Abram. Their herds men were beginning to quarrel with each other. . No sooner did Abram discover it than he called Lot aside, and said to him that it looked like it was best for them to separate. They couldn’t afford to fuss, they were brethren, and before conditions got any more serious it was wisest for them to go in differ ent directions. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were very vicious and war like people. r .bram and Lot were in their country/ and all they wanted was a difference of opinion between these men to wipe them out of existence. It was not only right to keep peace, but expedient as well. Abram had a perfect right to send Lot away and take all there was to be had. God had called him into this coun try, and promised to give it to him. Lot had no right to an inch of the soil, and was only prospering through his asso ciation with Abram. But Abram showed his magnanimity by offering Lot first choice. The customs of the east, as well as common decency and politeness, demand ed that Lot yield to the older man the right of first choice; but Lot was of different stuff. He was covetous, grasp ing, selfish. He had no thought for others so long as he got what he want ed. I Can see him now as he stood on that hilltop looking northward, and westward, and southward, and weigh ing carefully the present yield and fu ture prospects of these sections. Then- he turned eastward towards the plain of the Jordan, and saw that it was well watered and fertile, that it ^looked like the garden of the Lord. The sight was too much for his selfish heart; he chose that section; and taking up his tents marched off, followed by his re tinue. He didn’t go all the way to Sodom at first. He just pitched his tent to wards Sodom; and pretty soon he got nearer, until finally we find him in the city itself, mangling with its wicked * * 4 inhabitants. He was shocked at its sin. If you want special adTice^ write to We hear of his raising no altar to the ~ ~ Lord.

When Lot left, there stood Abram looking after him as he marched away with his retinue, and I am sure that there were feelings of great lone liness as this man without ^children realized that the boy he .had raised was leaving him and in such a spirit. But Abram wasn’t lonely long. That was God’s opportunity. Now that sel fish Lot had separated himself from Abram, God could come and talk to him, and this was what he said: “Lift up now thine eyes.” Notice carefully those words in the 14th verse, “after” and “now.” It is possible that God cannot commune with you now because of pome association with Lot that you may have, but when Lot leaves you, God will commune with you/ N He bade him look in every direction, even in the direction towards which Lot had gone, and gave him all the land that he could see as a possession for himself and his seed after him forever. He got the portion which Lot thought he was getting as well as all the rest. The point where Abram stood was the highest point in all that region and commanded a wide range of vision. Abram himself never owned a foot of had to buy a p lace to bury his wife, the land even though it was his. He At no time in the subsequent history of Israel, even in the prosperous reigns of David and Solomon, did the Jew as a nation ever own all of that land. Today and for many years that country has been out of the possession <5f the Jews. Did God fail to keep His promise? Not a bit of it. The time has not come for the full realization of it, but is surely coming when God’s promise shall be literally fulfilled.
