v .THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL,-ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1913. ROYAL BAKING POWDER Aitsoiuiefy Pure The only Baking Powder mode from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar NO alUm, no lime phosphate i The printers gave me exactly five times as much land as I can legally claim. Two acres is what I am try ing to call, my own, and I am about to decide that two acres is about all that a woman can manage, unless she has a plowman in the family, or one permanently fixed on the place. I can plant cabbages, cut potatoes, dig the furrows, but I am sure that the plow would wobble and the animal go its own gait. I heard of some people who went to Florida from Chicago and that one man sat on the horse and guided it while another held the plow. • Don’t all speak at once, for the position of “guide, philosopher and friend,” for I have only two acres and have let half of that on shares for a potato patch. The little hand-plows are fine. My neighbor has one and has kindly of fered it to me. I hope most sincerely I won’t have to use it. The chickens and calf* are enough. Yesterday I would have .sold “the crop” for the proverbial thirty cents. My cabbages have attracted the rabbits. My neigh bor has -a flourishing patch of peas, but nothing but young cabbkges ap peal to this rabbit. Then a big dog began at one end of my one row of early peas and had scratched up half of them before he was discovered. The day before that, when I came from town I found all sorts of holes in the lettuce bed. “He i^ looking for moles,” a neighbor volunteered to inform me, “but if I were you I’d kill him.” If he would hunt rabbits it would please me more than anything else. I count ed nine dogs not worth feeding, all in a stone’s throw', and I think that a heavy tax on unfed dogs would be a help to the sta'te. The many interesting personal let ters that I have received since my new venture was recorded is very gratify ing. There is a touch of the farmer in almost all of us. Deep in the hearts of most of the people grubbing for the almighty dollar or for fame, there is a plan to go back to the farm or village some (jay. The main trouble with many is that they put it off too long. The villiage grows to be a town or even a city, and when the return is attempted the crowd has changed and few of the old associates are there. The store that used to stand at the crossroads, a great convenience to the whole family sometimes, and a regu lar clearing house for gossip (oh, yes, men do gossip), has changed into a group of stores, find a younger set is doing the whittling and talking. Automobiles are taking the horse’s place and free delivery is putting the daily paper where the weekly used to hold sway. The papers and travelers ought to put a stop to the gossip, but as long as life lasts there »will be a certain class of people to tell things and to make trouble. Envy, malice and all ’uncharitableness thrive in empty minds like mushrooms in a bad cellar, and all suph minds brew trouble. But we won’t talk about gossips, it’s so much nicef to ignore them. When one finds that you will take the story to headquarters and find out the truth there is all sorts of “hedging” done. No story is told twice alike. So the best thing to do is to attend to one’s own business and be serenely unconscious of the hurly-burly that Satan's emissary is making. A neighbor has interrupted to say: “Please find out what to do for the rats that eat young chickens.” Last year one dear lady, a grandmother, had at least seventy-five eaten. One lady had fifteen eaten in a night. Rats are wary creatures and hard to kill or catch. I heard the gentlest sort of girl say that she nerved herself to where she ac tually caught one and w'as going to singe it and turn it. loose, as she had heard that would make all the others leave the place; but in her excitement the creature got away from her and she has never been able to get an other. Marion Harland says that if one is caught and dipped in tar and turned loose it will drive off the others. I don’t know about, that; but I do know that my brother-in-law has killed enormous' numbers and about the time the odor leaves that side of the place a fresh army camps there. When I went to Japan they were walking about the school yard as bold as pets, the Buddhist do not counte nance shedding blood and our window frames were badly disfigured. There was a Japanese law against selling or buying poison so I didn’t do a thing but send to San Francisco and get a box of rat poison. The imported article was a new dish for Mr. Rat and they ate it voraciously. If it has not hap pened to an accident since I came away there is a pink rose bush that owes its vigor to the fact that at its roots I laid the many victims of that American dish that the rats enjoyed. Our cook was a Japanese woman who had been with some one or other of the missionaries for twelve years. She rejoiced over the rats’ departure for, as you know, the natives eat, sleep and sit on the floor, and rats are a terrible nuisance to them. Bubonic plague made its appearance abroad and rats were accused of being active agents in spreading that dread disease, so the government offered a re ward for all rates dead or alive. The Japanese is loyal, so Buddhist, Shinto and Christian joined in the crusade against them. Every morning* the traps were set just outside the gate with the rats in them. A policeman would come along and put them out of the way of doing any more harm, and I suppose settle with whoever caught them. Un til they were accused of spreading dis ease they were everywhere. Once I was invited by one of the little girls attend ing school to go to her home and see the doll display. There were pieces of silk, handsome brocades, that were used to cover the set of steps or whatever you might call the affair on which the dolls sat, and one especial pieoe was ruined by the rats. Not an effort had the family made to etxerminate them. And mosquitoes were treated in much the same manner. I’ve seen them brushed off as casually as one would a speck of dtist. The idea is as you know, that one’s relative might have lived such a life that the next state, instead of being better, might have been to be come a rat or mosquito, and who would be heartless enough to slap one’s de ceased relative or try poison on one’s ancestors? * I midly suggested once that one might be a help to the unfortunate relative by AN EVENING’S MUSINGS Dear Miss Thomas: I am always glad to get The Journal and read the interesting let ters.

Dear Miss Thomas: Your last Chat has kept you almost con stantly in my mind, especially while I have been transplanting some strawberries. Of course, I eujoy all the Chats, but when you write one that tells where you are, and what you are doing that is the one I love best. I imagine 1 know just hoiv you feel after trans planting those cabbages unless you are more nimble tiiag most of us. I hope yours will grow as never cabbages did before as a re ward for your labor. The cow got to my one low and now I have “some” or “a few.” I do wish that I had been a mind reader and could have known that you wanted Buff Orpingtons. Just about that time I had to sell forty-one. I was visiting a friend today who has White Orpingtons and Rhode Island Reds. She finds it hard to keep two varieties on a small lot. Some one asked her which she would sell and the answer w»s either, said that only one week this winter was she with out eggs. The Orpingtons furnished the' early eggs, but when the Reds began they tried to make up for their delay. Do you know that a little cotton seed meal in a mash of shorts is a help to laying Ijens? Aren’t you waiting for me to tell you of a dog this town might contribute? I have been over stocked. The bird dog came back and went to his usual flower bed. I opened the gate with a walking cane in full view and he “vamoosed.” The convenient dog, no good at all unless you want to catch a chicken or chase cows came home Sunday night from a farm fiftoenn miles away. Just the week before he had been sent nine miles in another direction. As soon as the block is taken off back here he comes. He has earned the right to stay. One old lady lets her little dog sleep in her room, saying that he would make a good burg lar alarm. Don’t let that be your last chat about your new home.

IDLENESS AND EXTRAVAGANCE Dear Household: How swiftly times does fly; here it is nearly March and I have worked harder than I ever did, yet I can see nothing I have accomplished. So I’ve decided to call on ye Householders this windy evening. Since I have kept so busy and can see noth ing done, the thought popped Into my mind, “How can any one get along in this world who idles away the time?” Yet there are thousands of men and women who spend more time in idleness than in work. In my short life 1 have seen a lot of harm done in idle moments. When God sent Adam forth He 'Said that he must live by the sweat of his brow; but there are people who do* live and do not work—but how? Just living off of some other man’s work. I have seen large families that did about as much work as one man ought to have done—yet they had some thing to cat and a little to wear. Mow dhl they get it? Why, the merchant credited them. In the course of time they find out that they have strained their credit—and have a set of children that will steal before they will work, simply because they have been brought up in idleness. An idle brain is the devil’s work shop. Hands and brain work together. Right now theje are men puzzled to know where the money is to come from to buy corn for their Deople. Of course last year was an unusually bad year, but if the people had been at work when they were fishing or going to town or to places of amusement (waiting for their land to dry off for an excuse), they would have made more corn and more cotton, and thus have been {ar happier. There were plenty of people that could have brought their corn from the field in a hamper basket yet they have gone through the winter sQmehow. | The merchant is to blame, for be has credited | the negro as well as the trifling white set too much. The mule dealer has sold him a mule. The buggy dealer has sold him ' a buggy, and the merchant has let ■him have his supplies—in most cases without any security ; only his word. The negro can do as he pleases, | work when it suits him and ride about when ! it suits him. The mule dealer is busy, the | buggy dealer is busy, the merchant is busy, i up in town, selling to every one who will buy— ; doesn’t have time to come to the country to see after his idle creditors. Don’t you see they are encouraging idleness and hardly realiz ing it till pay day comes—and surprised to find that the purchaser has hardly made the rent. That is the way things went last year: there is where the merchant has* made a mistake. While the farmer makes many mistakes, but a big one is buying on time, paying credit prices for everything he has to have and at the end of the year finding that he cannot pay for what he has consumed. If he had lived sparingly and paid ns he went, he would have had a surplus. Another mistake is hiring hands and paying extravagant prices per day or month; one dollar per day is far too much for farm laVir, fifteen or twenty dollars per month is enough. Such expense will eat up the reward. If a farmer would count out his expenses he would not get twenty-five cents per day for his labor the year around, so why pay such extravagant prices for labor, and reap so- little? Encouraging idleness, yes, they are receiving for one day what you ought to have two days’ work for. We weakly women can’t get our week’s washing done under fifty or seventy-five cents, when we could do the work in one-lialf» day. Some will sit in idleness before they will work at a reasonable price. The negroes are combined, and the white farmers ought to unite, too. In fact, every organization is combined but t?fc white farmers, and they arc working against each other and hardly realizing it. They will say, “I don’t need much hired labor,” and they think they can afford the high. prices for a few days, but it counts in the end. With many good wishes, very sincerely. A MASON’S WIFE. Mistrial Declared /<Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., March 5.—A mistrial has been declared in the case of J. L. Carver, charged with resisting an of ficer. For March 9. Gen. 19:12-17, 23-29 Golden Text: “Come out from among* them, and he ye separate, salth the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing.”—2 Cor. 6:17. A few more than twenty years after Lot had separated from Abram and pitche/1 his tent toward Sodom, God ap peared to Abraham in the plain of Matnre as he sat in his tent-in ..the cool of the evening. Abraham had re mained faithful to God, and God had prospered him greatly. He was still the wandering sheikh, with no continuing city. Lot, on the contrary, had become a city man. He was prominent in Sodom. He had become one of the leading lights, and “sat in the gate”—an expression signifying that he held a high official position in the city’s political affairs. His children had married in the city; all but two daughters, and they were thoroughly tainted with the city’s sin. ANGELS UNAWARES. While Abraham sat in his tent, three men stood by him. With kindly cour tesy and genuine hospitality he invited them .in, and saw that a meal was pre pared for them as quickly as possible. It was worth all the effort it cost him. Two of them were the angels who went from there to Sodom to destroy it. Was the third God*incarnate? They ate their meal ,and then asked the whereabouts of Sarah. Then God promised Abra ham a son of Sarah, the following year, even though he was then ninety-tw r o years old, and Sarah ninety, since noth ing is “too hard for Jehovah.” Having rested, they now arose to take their journey toward Sodom, and, with Oriental courtesy, Abraham went with them a part of the way. As they were walking one of them, the Lord, said: “Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do, etc?” God’s confidence in Abraham prompted Him to tell him His secrets. Are you such an one in whom God may repose shch confidence? So while the two went on to Sodom, the Third remained to talk with Abra ham. Oh, that T had the power to de pict that scene so vividly to your mind that you, too, vyould enter into such fellowship with God! There was God revealing to Abraham His plans concern ing Sodom, and Abraham pleading with God to save Sodom. Of course Abra ham’s interest in Sodom was Lot. He loved his nephew in spite of his selfish ness and lack of spiritual wisdom. I have thougth that possibly Abraham had in mind that surely there would be Lot’s family and enough others Lot had in fluenced for God to make fifty righteous persons. Then forty or thirty or twen ty. There were at least ten in Lot’s immediate family, and Abraham got down to that number. Had he dreamed that less than that were righteous he would not have stopped, . but he had that much confidence in Lot’s influ ence. How wonderfully gracious God w'as! He consented to every request Abra ham made; and would have saved the city for the sake of one righteous man in it, if Abraham had persisted in prater for it. Abraham stopped too soon. Did/you ever stop too soon? There was not one Righteous man in HUSBAND TIRED OF SEEING HEN SUFFER Procured Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which made His Wife a Wellj Woman.

Let us leave Abraham on the hill top with God, pleading for Sodom, and fellow the tYtfo men to Sodom. At the gate of the city they find Lot, the them, he had still enough spiritual dis cernment to see that they were noi like the men with whom he was asso- gave his hospitality. He made them a feast, and showed his perception of their spirituality by serving unleaven ed bread—sacramental bread—as leaven always is a type of sin in the Bible. The men of Sodom showed their calibre by the rudeness of the mob that gathered at Lot’s door before bedtime, demanding an audience with the may or’s guests. They were being silently judged. They wefe having their op portunity, their chance to be saved, and were losing it rapidly. Lot was very loyal to his guests, but the horrible degeneracy he displayed! His residence in Sodom, his covetous ness, had taken the keen edge off of any sense of morality that he had had. The men of Sodom were condemned —they knew full well that their life was not what it should be. They ap preciated that these guests of the mayor were judging them, and that they could not stand the light of pub licity. They ignored Lot’s outrageous proposition; they demanded that their judges be turned over to them to deal with as they would, and, moblike, tried to set the mayor aside, and take the matter in their own hands. 1 They had not reckoned with their op ponents, however, for the men pulled Lot into the house, shut the door, and smote the men outside with blindness, so that they wore themselves out find ing the door. Lot still had a spark of spiritual life left. "When he realized the ganger in which his family were, he went out in the night, and urged his sons-in-law to- get out of the place, for the Lord would destroy the city. But he seemed to his sons-in-law as one that mocked. A man’s words count for very little un less his life is the right kind of back ground for it. Emerson said truly, “Hew can I hear what you say when there’s always thundering in my ears what you are?” Lot had outlived his influence with his sons-in-law. The reason for this is very clearly seen. Lot could not put enough force into his plea, for he didn’t want to get out himself. In the morning the angels, had to hasten Lot, and even then he lingered till they laid hold upon his hands and pulled him - out of the city forcibly. It would seem that Lot had had enough of city life with its sin, but instead of escaping to the mountains as told, he begged that he might stop at the smaller city of Zoar, and the sin could not be so great there. Lot was not willing to take God’s best, so God had to give him his second choice. • “God hag his best things for the few Who dare to stand the test. God has his second choice for those Who will not have His best.” God was very gracious in dealing with Lot and granted him His request, al though He would have like to have done more for him if Lot would have let him. “Hasten there,” he said, “escape thither, for I can not do anything until thou come hither.” Abraham’s prayers for Lot had tied God’s hands, so far as Sodom was concerned, until Lot was out of danger. Think carefully over that statement of God’s. The power of the Omnipotent One is held in check by the prayers of a righteous man, at least temporarily. With Lot there escaped his wife and two unmarried daughters; they were saved reluctantly. , Lot’s wife had be come so attached to the city that when she was nearly saved she looked back, and became encrusted with a cloud of salt, losing her life. This is one way was the greatest tragedy of all. The de struction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the other cities of the plain was terri ble, but they had had their chance and failed. It was distressing to Lot to lose the accumulation of his life time; but it was tragic beyond expression that 'his wife came so near complete salva tion, but failed because she stopped.

WOMEN THE WORLD OVER . WHO IS WHO IN THE NON-MILITANT PARTY. BY VID A SUTTON. The oldes't and most representative suffrage societies in the United King dom are those which were started in 1867 and united the 'following year into the National Union of Women’s Spffrage society. Mrs. Millicent Gar- ratt Fawcett, widow of the Hon. Henry Fawcett, M. P., and worker in the cause for over forty years, is the president. The union has never weakened in its conviction that constitutional agitation would prove most elective in the long run. They believe that what is gained in a free way is better than twice as much forced. Recently a high dignitary of the church 'sent in his resignation as vice president of one of the societies be cause of his disgust at the militant methods of other societies. The policy of the union is illustrated by the letter which the secretary sent inducing him to reconsider. She asked him if he was also relinquishing his connection with Christianity because he disapproved of the actions and methews of some Chris tians. The faith of the National union holds that no reformer is fit for his task if he suffers himself to be frightened by the excess of an extreme wing, which may always be expected in any politi cal revolution. For no great advance in human freedom has ever been gained without some show of violence, though the example of the male revolutionists too often is an example of how not to do it. The National union is a very large organization, having 300 suffrage affili ations and over 1,400 affiliations with representative organizations of women workers. A weekly paper, The Common Cause, is its official organ. Besides the National union there are thirty other separate societies. The Countess of Selborne, daughter of Lord Salisbury, is president of ti.e Conserva tive and Unionist Franchise association, which has fifty-three branches and whose work is detailed in a quarterly review. The Earl of Lytton; one of the most earnest of the younger peers, is presi dent of the International Franchise so ciety. Miss Elizabeth Robins, whose recent book on the white * slave question has created such a stir, is president of the Women Writers’ Suffrage association. Mrs. Forbes-Robertson (Gertrude El liott) is president of the A^tre.«*««?’ Franchise association and there are teachers, artists, professional, industrial associations, with which many promi nent people arc connected, as well as a Protestant Church league and a Catholic society. There are five men’s leagues, one militant, one of Cambridge univer sity, and an international league, the second meeting of which takes place at Budapest in June, 1913. A majority of the members of the house of parliament * are in favor of some form of woman suffrage. Lloyd George, the chancellor of the exchequer, of whom a recent biographer said it was his ambition to go down in history as having brought woman suffrage to England, is its chief political advocate. Sir Edward Grey and C. M. Dickinson are Its advocates in the*Liberal party,. and Mr. Cameron Grant, author of the amendment to the white slave bill of the Conservatives, and Keir Hardie, the well known Labor party member of that party. It is impossible to mention the dis tinguished people whose names are in some way connected with the suffrage activities. Bernard Shaw conducted a debate on the subject recently, and need less to say be wiped the floor with his adversary. John Galsworthy, the author of “Justice” and “Strife” and other plays of social reform, is a stanch ad vocate. Israel Zangwill is president oT the Men’s league. Miss Ellen Terry gives her services most generously in benefit matinees. Mrs. Garratt Anderson, the first woman mayor in England, considers it a great anomaly that she should have 'been twice elected mayor of Ald- burgh and yet not have a parliamentary vote. Sydney Webb, social historian, says that the whole theory and practice of government in England demands that women should not be excluded. Edward Carpenter, the Walt Whitman of Eng land, declares that democacy cannot re fuse the franchise to women. ^ A Human Match Factory The body contains phosphorus sufficient to make 483,000 matches. Phos phorus is one of fourteen elements composing the body—divided among bones, flesh, nervous system and other organs. The perfect health of body requires a perfect balance of the elements. These elements come from the food we eat—the stomach extracts and distributes them. But if stomach is deranged—the balance of health is destroyed and the blood does not carry the proper elements to the different organs, and there is blood trouble—nerve trouble—heart trouble. Pain is the hungry cry of starved organs. Put the liver, stomach arfd organs of digestion and nutri tion into a condition of health. That is just what is done by DR.

President Vetoes Sundry Ap propriation Bill-Congress Adjourns Sine Die WASHINGTON, March 4.—President Taft today vetoed the sundry civil ap propriation bill, carrying $113,000,000, because of its provision which prohib ited the department of justice from using its anti-trust appropriation in prosecution of labor unions and farm ers’ organizations. The house at once repassed the sun dry civil appropriation 1)111 over Presi dent Taft’s veto by a vote of 270 to 50. Senate leaders did hot believe an at tempt would be made to repass the bill in the upper body. % The sundry civil bill rei?hssed in the house was rushed over to * the senate and reported there at 11:55 o’clock. A sergeant-at-arms grasped the long pole and turned the hands of the clock back to 11:26 a. m. Senator Fall, however, was still filibustering. An attempt to repass the sundry civ il bill over President Taft’s veto was abandoned in the senate after it had been' accomplshed in the house. The senate of the sixty-second con gress adjourned sine die at 12:35 o’clock. (Wnjsli Sent To You For A Year’s Free Trial Why Shouldn’t You Buy As Low As Any Dealer?
