From Former Pastor.
The following note from a recent
esteemed pastor of the First Metho
dist church will be read with interest
by his many friends here:—
LaGrange, Ga., Dec. 9th.
Dear Bro. Russell:—Please send me
The Standard to this address. We
have been cordially received and out
look is hopeful.
I am very much interested in Ce-
dartown and especially the church.
I hope things have begun well and
the year will be characterized by
marked advance. I do hope they
will get to work on that Sunday
School House in the Spring. Wc had
over 400 in Sunday School last Sun
day, and very much congested here
for lack of room; 565 took sacrament
last Sunday. We are having big con
gregations so far. All are keeping
well and busy. Love to all Cedar-
town friends. With kind personal re
gards, I am,
Yours very truly,
FRANK QUILLIAN.
THE BEST OF PLACES.
Dear Editor:—For some months I
have been a very busy man, with no
laying-by time, but the season is over
and the harvest is passed, and we are
still in debt—cast down, but not for
saken. For upward of forty years
Rome has been tho center of trade
for Northwest Georgia. Shorter Col
lege is known far and wide as a suit
able place for the educating of girls,
and Rome used to be known as the
best cotton market in Georgia, farm
ers hnuling their cotton 40 to 50
miles over bad roads and receiving
the best price. Rome has grown from
a town to a beautiful city. The time
has been that a man could pay 40
miles of railroad fare and save mon
ey by trading $10 in Rome, but not
so now on the south side. Cedartown,
once a smnll village, 20 miles south of
Rome in Polk county, has taken on
new life and hns grown into a place
of 7,000 people, with highway and
railroads crossing from north to south
and east to west, with good roads in
every direction all pointing to Cedar-
town, and Cedartown is paying the
top of the market for all grades of
cotton. Cedartown has a fine police
force, well organized and on the al
ert for the safety of the traveling
public. She hns a large weekly pay
roll from railroad shops, cotton mills,
knitting mills, box factory and many
other industries. Cedartown’s bus
iness streets are lined with merchants
from Fish Creek, Acworth, Rome,
Mississippi, New York, and the sons
of the old standpatters of Cedartown
who have profited by the experience
of their fathers and grown up with a
progressive spirit, realizing that one
hundred cents are worth a dollar, so
that any man enn buy anything he
needs from the cradle to tho grave
in Cedartown as cheap as he can in
Rome or anywhere else. Cedartown
has gotten on a hobbyhorse for edu
cating its own sons and daughters.
My farmer friend, if you want any
thing in the way of house furnishings,
groceries, dry goods, clothing, hard
ware, mules, etc., come to Cedar
town where the dealer has an eye to
business and you get your money’s
worth.
I am, yours truly, a farmer nnd a
farmer's friend. Tho town’s interest
is tho country’s interest, and the
country’s interest is the town’s in
terest. —J. M. LANDRUM.

INVITES YOU TO THE OPENING OF TOYLAND.
At the Christmas Store of Cedartown. '■
Have you ever tried to image Christmas without toys? It
would be like taking the plums from the pudding. Wouldn’t
it? What would Santa Claus do then, poor thing. What would
the children do? No! It’s too terrible a thing to image.
Christmas would not be Christmas without toys. They are
the most important item of the most important holiday of the
year. And the glad shouts of the children always makes up
for the monotony of the other 364 days.
If you want toys that instruct or amuse with good quality
and reasonable prices, come to our Toyland.
All the children of the town will be
there. Can’t your little folks come too?

MENACE SOUTH’S HEALTH
Land of Famous Breadstuffs Consuming Chemically
Dosed Starch, Alleges Pure Food Investigator
Tho South consumes from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 barrels
of self-rising flour annually, says Alfred W. McCann,
nationally known pure food expert and investigator for
the New York Globe and Commercial Advertiser, and
most of this, he says, is “woefully deficient in protein, con
taining a pellagra-producing surfeitof starch and a vitamin-
destroying excess of chemicals used for leavening purposes.”
Mr. McCann believes this condition is undermining the
health of our Southern people, and in the following article
he sets forth part of his conclusions.

Disquieting Facts
No wonder that the National Cereal
Products’ Laboratories at Washington,
D. C., under the direction of Dr. Benja
min R. Jacobs, for many years con
nected with the U. S. Bureau of
Chemistry, have sounded a warning
against the alarming increase in the use
of self-rising flour, of which, in the
South alone, from 8,000,000 to 10,000,-
000 barrels are used annually.
Of thirty-seven different brands pur
chased in the open market for analysis
examination has resulted in the literally,
appalling discovery that more than
three-fourths of the whole lot consists
©f low grades, even the lowest grade and
What are the governments warnings
for? Obviously not to be acted upon.
Still more obviously not to be put into
the text-books on biology. Certainly
not to be taught to the children in the
schools. Still more certainly not to be
used as guides by the mothers of the
race in selecting foods that will give to
their growing offspring the maximum
of adequate nutrition. What, then, are
they for? To be filed away and for-,
gotten? Why all the education and the
millions appropriated for more?
If the manufacturers of self-rising
flours desire to thank us for this public
exposure of the truth they may do so by
forgetting for a while their love of profit
at the expense of the human family,
label themselves as parasites, volunta
