Tin* medical world la making moat gratifying progress in Its contest a- gailiirt consumption, and one of Its principal efforts is for prevention of tho disease. Prevention Is always bet tor titan a cure, and The Standard be lieves that the press of the country could hardly render a greater service than in giving the widest publicity to the following wise recommendations of the New York Board of Health in the way of preventing the spread of the great white plague: To avoid consumption: Don’t live, study, or sleep in rooms where there is no fresh air. Don’t live in dusty air. Get rid of dust by mopping with damp cloths. Don't sweep with a dry broom. Keep one window partly open in your bed-room at night and air the room two or three tlmeB a day. Don’t eat with soiled hands. Wash them first. Don’t put hands or pencils in mouth or any candy or chewing gum other persons have used. Don’t keep soiled handkerchiefs In your pocket. Take a warm buth at least once a week. To those who have contracted con sumption:— Don’t waste your money on pat ent medicines. If you go to a doctor In time you can be cured. Don’t drink whiskey or any other form of liquor. Don't sleep in the same bed with any one else, and, if possible, not jn the same room. Good food, fresh air and rest are the best cures. Keep in the .sunlight i much as possible. Keep your windows open winter and summer, day and night. Tho careful and clean consumptive is not dangerous to those with whom he lives and works. The following rule is enjoined on even healthy persons, and they are asked to observe it: Don’t spit on sidewalks, floors or hallways. OUR FIRST BALE. ^ Mr. N. P. Griffin, one of Polk’s cleverest farmers, brought the first ( bnle of cotton from the new crop to Cedartown last Friday. It was graded as No. <5, and was bought by the Ce dartown Supply Co. at 111 5-8 cents. It was stored at once in the Farm ers’ Union warehouse. It. is a coincidence that exactly a year ago to the* day the Cedartown Supply Co. bought the first bale brought to town,paying Mr. J.J. Green 10 cents a pound for it. The Standard congratulates our farmers most heartily on the irtcre&s- cd price, and we hope it will get bet ter and better. Look at tho label on^ yOur paper, and pay up youY aubscrlptiqn. Well, there is one thing certain: Atlanta get those much-mooted port rates, Cedartown wants them, too. Every good citizen will gladly help the farmer improve his Conditions, and especially aid him in securing the highest possible price for his cotton. There will be a big rally of Polk county Masons in Cedartown on Tues day, Nov. 5th, at which all lodges In the county will be represented. Grand Master Meyerhart and the Dis trict Deputy will be pfesent, and a grand time is in store for the breth ren of that mystic tie. lAPTlAL >■ o<>0X»nir~P0LNDBD iSS„. fttynjb/ and tlharal ciaini frannu'ii!? htr r ; .

Editors:—What Is the mat ter with our big men these days that they are so unmindful of the farmers' interests? Last year,, Just at the time the price of cotton was being settled, President Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association, gave out an Interview predicting a bumper crop. He was supiibstd to be posted on what he was talking about, and the price tumbled accordingly. And now comes Hon. Hoke Smith, Governor of the great state of Geor gia, and makes a similiar break by predicting a 2,000,000 bale crop for Georgia. And the price of cotton goes down Just like it did when his friend Jordan made his untimely lit tle speech last year. Our Union people have been with Governor smith i.. hi. right for low se ntiai to good health as anything else. er freight rates, though we fear that & J the manufacturers and middlemen will just add so much to their profits and the farmer will not get any benefit from it. We regretted that he was not for prohibition until after the movement had swept the state, and tooth and toe-nail against his movement, to secure foreign immigra tion. And we would like to have him take back his cotton esti mate, which is costing the farmers of Georgia thousands of dollars. He certainly wasn’t looking after our in terests when he talked that way.

P«IL*» Meeting lo be KeW Xondaj at Rockmart. The Educational Campaign Is now over. It was a success In evory par ticular. but we now come to the time when wo must have co-operation,hence we have arranged a line of dates for a co-operative campaign. The Educational Campaign was for the benlfit of the'public hh well as the membership, but our av-operatlve campaign will be done behind 'closed doora, and the counties In. which these series or co-operative meetings are to be held should in no Instance make any arrangements whatever for a pub lic speech. The time has come when we must get down to serious business, and the State Organization has arranged four plans of co-operation that must be put Into effect. These plana will save our members hundreds of thousands of dollars, and every member should know these plans thoroughly. We have arranged to send a man to your county to spend a day with you behind closed doors, in order that he may explain to your entire satisfaction theso plans, but, of course, he cannot tell you about them if you are not present, so every member of every local Union should attend the meet ing to be held in this county. Let ; every fnember who reads’ this see to it that every member in his lx) cai Union' knows about the date in their county. > " •Every speaker will b.e well posted on all lines of co-operation, and he is coming to your county, to talk co-op eration. It will be a love-feast in deed for you all to get together and discuss the plans which are to be sub mitted to you’ by these shakers — Farmers’ Union News. THE COUNTY FAIR. Get ready for the Fa r.

Polk Co oat j Children at Decat nr Orphans’ Hwme. Polk county has made many de mands upon the Orphan**’ Home, but none more touching than that last winter. Uev. Mr. Qulllian telephoned hoc night to the Home and asked them to take in twin babies whose mother had just died that day. Their fath er had no kindred to keep them and he himself couldi not do so. Mr. Quillian asked if the Home could provide focthem.and the answer went back, “We will." When the babies were three weeks old they were sent, to Atlanta and placed in the arius of a noble farmer on the one hand and of a vexy competent woman on the other. The old farmer often viaLts the agent of the Home and is as proud of his baby as he ran be, though it has coat him money and many nights of sleep to save the lit tle fellow alive. The little girl also is doing well. Home that can reach out to the Application for Charter. State of Georgia, County of Polk. To the Superior Court of said County: The petition of H. N.
