A PERMEATING PATRIOTISM
In the report of the grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Geor-
[ gia a number of recommendations 'were yesterday made to the lodges in this
state and among them was. one which Is significant and of Interest to tne
| people generally—as certainly as It Is of particular and special Interest to the
| members of the great fraternity which is bolding its annual state convention
in Athens.
This suggestion was that the saluting of the American flag be made
part of the ceremony of opening every lodge of Knights of Pythias in the
| state. Already there is a ritualistic requirement that no lodge can be legally
| opened without the presence In the castle-hall of the charter of the lodge, a

Emphasizing the flag is permeating every organization in America. It is

law, regard for government, love of country, and loyalty to the cause which

There may come a time—how soon, no one will dare conjecture—when this
I loyalty of patriotism may be put to severe mftaal, physical, or spiritual test.
Flag Day exercises, such as the city of Athens conducted; school flag days,
Naturalization Days, Americanization Days, public patriotic meetings—all

PLANNING FOR THE r GRANDCHILDREN
If the old saying is true that to breed a gentleman one must begin with
his grand father, how much more nearly universal must be the physical side
of the proposition—that to make strong and healthy bodies the parents and
grandparents should be strong and healthy. Is it but stripping the facts of
sentiment drapery to say that, speaking in purely a physical sense, there
is less care taken in the breeding of men—as the most magnificent and hand
some specimen of the animal creation of the Almighty,—than there is now
taken with the scientific breeding of horses or sheep or chickens or hogs
A great meeting of thinkers and scientists being held this week in the
city of Indianapolis, in discussing the betterment of the race in many ways,
had one hour devoted to the best way of bettering men physically. One little
item of the Associated; Press reports to the Banner of that meeting, along the
line suggested concerning making better physical folks, says:
"As a man’s hair whitens, bis features become furrowed and back grows
bent we say, "Uhls shows the marks of Time,’ but Time has nothing what
ever to do with such changes,” said Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk, director of Hy
giene in the Life Extension Institute of New York City, in a paper read be
fore the closing session yesterday of the National Conference of Charities
and Correction.
“I am not here to predict an elixir of life” Dr. Fisk continued, or to hold
out the hope of earthly immortality; but I do claim that the postulate of
relative immortality for the human body involves no negation of biologic law
or fact On the contrary, it is an affirmation of such law or fact. It is the
activity of certain lethal agencies that bring on old age and death, and so
far as we can put In motion other activities to meet and neutralize them, ana
protect the cells of oar bodies from injury or strain, from poison whether
formed internally or externally), from starvation, from bacterial attack, we
shall hold back the *wings of time.*
“In planning for longer and more effective living, we should commence
with our ancestors. Given the best quality of tissue that we can get at birth
(eugenics), the problem then confronts us of preparing against the enemies
that will appear from moment to moment as was pass along.”
A TYPE-CARTOON.
The Georgia chaingangs were being depopulated,
And Investigation set to. work on the records to find the cause.
"Two new and popular fellows have been the cause of the shortage of

“Who are they?” I asked.
“Probation and Prohibition.”

Tm certainly very thankful for
what Tanlac has done for my little
daughter,” y said Mrs. J. P. West-
broke, who lives at 2608 Thirtieth
avenue, North Birmingham, to the
Tanlac representative who called to
see her a few days ago. "My daugh
ter, Ansel, who is eleven years of
age, has been a sufferer from indi
gestion and pains in her shoulders
and in her chest for a long time; in
fact, all her life. We have tried
many doctors and most everything
we could hear of, hut they did not
bring her any relief.
“She was so nervous and unstrung
and so run-down that I don’t believe
she could have gone through the win
ter. She couldn’t eat hardly any*
thing at all, and sleep was impossi*
ble for her, and it was pitiful to see
her in that condition, and to think,
too, that we had done everything we
could without any benefits from It.
Especially in the summer months
she would get in a very run-down con
dition, and would lose weight, and
you can see that she hasn’t any too
much weight to lose.
I had read in the papers about
Tanlac, and a neighbor who had
taken it insisted that I get a bottle
and give it to Ansel. After a lot of
persuasion I bought a bottle and put
her right on it, and it looked like
from the first half of the bottle that
it was the very thing she had need
ed. She has taken three bottles now,
and I am certainly thankful for what
it has done for her. She sleeps just
as well as could be at night, and eats
everything she wants. She was eat
ing popcorn and bananas yesterday,
and they did not seem to have any
bad effect on her at all. She has
gained a little in weight, and I be
Have that now she is eating and the
food seems to thoroughly agree with
her that she will gain steadily.
*TShe does not seem to be a bit
nervous, and doesn’t object to taking
the Tanlac one bit. She Is just as
bright and cheerful as she can De,
and it has made us all mighty happy
about her recovery, and we are all
glad to recommend Tanlac as being
the medicine that has done what lots
of other medicines failed to do.
am glad to say a good word for it,
and tell others of its merits.'
M?ss Ansel Westbrooks was in the
room at the time, and remarked: “If
I had a thousand dollars I would
spend It all for Tanlac, because
feel so good and eat everything
want and can sleep so good and
sound at night.”

Georgia slaughtered every pitcher
that Mercer had to .offer.in the,.lwt
game of the year on Sanford Field
yesterday, afternoon and won a swat-
rest by the score of 15 to 7. • •
Fox, who pitched for Georgia, got
away with a neat game and despite
some rank errors behind' him up un
til the ninth inning had been touched
for but six scattering hits, the first
ball thrown by him in the opening
inning being hit for a clean home run
by First Baqfemam Swan. In tne
ninth he let down and Mercer made
three hits and as many runs.
The Georgia boys were out with
their slugging clothes on and in "the
first inning before any .one was re
tired drove Blood worth from the
mound with a fusilade of three sin
gles and a triple and four runs. He
was relieved by Curtis who had the
honor of not losing a game the en
tire season but the Red and Black
artists took just as heartily to his
offerings, and in the fourth scored
tour rune off as many hits, one of
them being a home swat by Holden,
who took his stand back at third
base.
Curtis, however, weathered this
storm of hits but only survived until
the eighth, when Georgia took an
other healthy swing at the pellet. In
this inning after Clements had hit
for a triple and Henderson a single,
the Mercer coach yanked Curtis and
put Fuss who had already entered
the game, batting for Halloway and
taking his place at short in the
eighth.
Fuss suffered a three bagger and a
single and all told Georgia amassed
five runs in this inning off four hits.
How all the runs were scored is
too much detail. Let it suffice to
say that Clements made a triple and
couple of singles out of five trips
to the pldte. He also scored three
runs and despite four errors- charged
to him played a brilliant fielding
game and especially great was a stop
he made off the hat of Catcher
Clements in the fifth when Weaver
was nabbed at second.

Perhaps along the path shall Joy fling roses in the way,
And Gladness smile from singing brooks below,
And Happiness shall whisper all the gleaming golden day—
’Tis Love is leading e’er the way I go.
Perhaps down in the shadows, where the day is dimmed with tears.
Shall Sorrow wait, where weeping willows grow—
My faith shall never falter, through the trials or the fears,
For Love is leading still the way I go.
