Heart to Heart Talks * By JAMES A. EDC.ERTON OUK DEBT TO HUMANITY. How much wo owe twin kind! Every hero that dl<#l for liberty died for you and me. Every martyr who nave hla life to keep the faith wan n sacrifice for us. Every scientist who devoted Ids yearn to patient In added to our llirht Every soldier who fought for right eousucss helped to carve out the-civ lltzatlon we enjoy. Wo are the heir# of all these men. They tolled for uh. planned for us, agonized for US. When we think of the Infinite pains by which our Institutions were bulit up, that human blood was iimsl for the mortar between all the stones In the temple of' our civilization, that the heights on which we dwell were erect ed out of the bodies of men, as the coral Isle Is made up of the unlninl eula of the sen, wo are staggered by the obligation placed upon us. flow can we ever tel! our gratitude to those who thus gave their all for our happi ness 7 The thought lmplunts In us a rever ence for our Institutions and a desire to Ist very loyal to society. Its rules were made for our benefit. Even though sometimes defective, as human Institutions are npt to he, they yet aro nocessury until something bet ter can lie put In their stead. Our peace, prosperity, liberty, on llghtenment, security; our Inventions, scientific knowledge, philosophy,, roll . giou, art, literature; our schools, chibs, churches, great cities, beautiful vil lages, railroads, steamships, oecstn ca bles, wireless, aeroplanes, comforts, conveniences all these and other blessings are free gifts to us. They hnve been patiently wrought for us through the long ages of the past. All that Is asked of us In return Is that we use them to the best advan tage; that we do not abuse or ruthless ly destroy these precious Inheritances. If we were keenly sensitive of nil that has been done In our behalf we would never rest easy one moment mi les# wo were doing for others. Humanity has placed on us u debt of sacred honor. This debt wo must repay to human ity. Heart to Heart Talks By JAMES A. EDGERTON SERVICE. '•There Is but one (rue basis fur ei ther wealth or fame. It is service. Any wealth we gain for which we huve not rendered an equivalent serv ice Is tainted. Any fame we enjoy (hut has not been earned by service is false fame Unit will turn to dispraise. The Greatest of the Great wild l came not to be ministered unto, but U minister. llis life was one of service. The old motto of the nobility wu* “Ich dlen” (1 serve). The first meaning: of service is that It Is somethin# we do for others. He who does any useful work Is ben efiting others. It may bo the raising of a crop that others may have food, thoy lu turn paying an equivalent price. Whether he recognizes It or ot. ills task is altruistic, lie may think that he works only for the selfish reward, but as a matter of fact lie feeds the hungry. Perhaps his work Is ministering to the sick. The vulgar Idea Is that the doctor works only for his fin-. ViA no fee can measure the easing of pain, the saving of life. Whatever we may say of the doctor, he works for others. The one who serves may be a writer. He entertains, comforts, Instructs or inspires others. We may say that tie does tt only for the money or reputa tion It will bring him, yet that is but a small part of the truth. Ho Is min Is taring to his fellow meu. Or he may be an artist, saying, as true artists do, that he docs not work alone for what lie may gain in return, but. rather, for the very work’s sake. Tef even this fails short of the whole truth. He Is adding to the world’s beturty and so Is serving countless thousands In the highest way. So It is throughout life. If we are worth our salt we are serving others. The reward we receive is but the sauce on the dish. The solid, sub stautlal thing Is the service we are rendering. Moreover, our Importance in the scheme of things depends on this serv ice. It is the rock on which is budd ed the temple of our civilisation. (>ne other point. The important thiug la the service and not the re ward. The man who works from that end M the man who wins In a big way. The absolute scientific basis of suc cess Is not how much 1 can get from others, but how much I can do foi Others. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Cslsry For Rhoumstism. If celery were esteri more freely sufferers from rheumatism would bo comparatively few. When celery Is eaten largely an alkaline blood Is the result, and where this exists there can he neither rheumatism nor gout. It should not only he eaten raw, but cooked. It should he cut In small pieces and boiled till tender, In as little wafer as possible, and after adding to this a little rich milk, thickened slightly with flour und seasoned with butter, pepper and salt. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY, Prsvsntion of Autointoxication. The germs which are always found in putrefying food unito rlSl, inside or out of the alimen tary canal, are the necessary ac companiment of putrefaction, and the question may be raised whether more harm than good may not he done by preventing the growth of these bacteria, which are. in reality, scavengers. The natural wny to overcome autointoxication Is not to pro duce It by eating Improper food and then correct it by the growth of bacteria In the Intestines an tagonistic to the Injurious bac teria. hut to adopt suyh a dietary and to eat In such a manner as to prevent the autointoxication which follows wrong diet. In the prevention of autointoxication the maintenance of a right men tal attitude, proper exercise and other means affecting elimina tion, also thorough mastication, are Important factors its well as diet. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Relieving Backache. Backache that Is due to liver troubles may be relieved by ton ing up the liver and digestive organs generally. Meat should tie eaten only iti very limited quantities. If It Is eaten at all Alcohol, especially beer and stout, must be excluded from the diet. O.i ttie other band, tematoes, fresh vegetables, fruit, milk and soda and cereals are suitable Items of food, while Hbesnl quan tities of hot lemon water would he n better fluid to drink than tea, coffee or cocoa. A little ex tra care In regard to diet- the dally diet -would very quickly remove the pain or ache that has its origin in a sluggish liver. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Deep Breathing, The following rules for deep breathing will be found benefi cial: ( Get the clothing lie ns loose and light and clean and the air as fresh as possible Breathe in through the nose uutll this has become a habit even during steep. Great exer tion may demand some breath ing in through the mouth, and an occasional gulp of pure ulr e g , at the seaside -Is valuable. Attend to the correct position of the body with regard to spine, neck, etc. ’To lie at first ou one’s back on the floor will keep the organs In a better position. Some prefer Jin inclined plank, as It draws the shoulders farther back and does not bring too much blood to ttie head. Make use of odd moments, es pecialty Just after walking, just before bedtime, ou going out into ttie fresh air and while waiting This Is reguturity not of time, but of occasion- a far more im portant regularity As an ex ample of regularity of occasion blow your nose directly you awake, even before you wash your teeth: breathe quietly, but deeply, after meals; breathe fully amt then relax before, during and after a crisis e g. an ex amination or a visit to the ilen list.

The tests made lead to the conclusion that there Is no objection to sleeping in a horfeontal position an hour after eating, but a reclining position should not be taken immediately after eating. In certain cases, however, it is beneficial after a meal consisting of liquid, like milk or fruit juices, to Ile on the right side HANKS COUNTY JOURNAL HOMER, GA., NOTfCE All persons are hereby notilied not to divert the course of the water falling on their lauds along the Public Roads of Ranks County so as to run the water from its natural flow into the Public Roads of said county, and the Road < >ver seersyjf said county are hereby di reeled t < notify the land owners aldng tin- Public Roads to stop up or change ulil ditch:-; that eirry water into the Public Roads con trary to the natural How ami con trary to the law of <lcoi\ia,b cause the practice of div< fling the natur al How of the water washes away the Hoads and it 1- folly to tax the people to make Roads and al low them to be washed in any such mantlet, (liven under m> hand and ollieial signature this Hep.
