r i FOUR THE BANNER, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 18, 1916. t V, 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 representing THE ATHEHS BUHNER 1832 Established 1832 H.

Emphasizing the flag is permeating every organization in America. It is | well—there is need of this spread of sentiment; It crystallzed respect for law, regard for government, love of country, and loyalty to the cause which | the Republic stands ready to maintain and defend in the world. 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 | these help in the movement to solidify Americans under the flag. There is no omen of danger in this—but there is a wholesome principle I which is deepening and broadening under the citizenship of America which will make the nation secure, CAN NOW EAT MOST ANYTHING MRS.

Now that the spirit of sixty-six has I passed away—the spirit of seventy-six j is handy. 4- The drinkers of Georgia have to be I "well” behaved now—unless they use hydrants. f- If the Knights of Pythias, here for their annual meeting this week, like Athens as well as Athens likes the Knights—it's a likely, likable bunch met. f. Atlanta will honor Shakespeare on May 27. Atlanta, with the rest of the civilized world, honors Shakespeare all the time, more or less. Saturday of next week it will be just a little bit "more.” 4- This section of the state lost a fine old gentleman, a valued citizen, a leader in all good work for school, church, state, and community in the recent death of Judge H. W. Bell of Jefferson. *. The veterans and their sons pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to the defense of the Union if there shall be need of such assistance. Sounds like the spirit of seventy-six. 4 The president is not the only one who believes that a man must he knocked down occasionally to save his soul. The old-time church folks sang: "Sure 1 must fight if I would reign, increase my courage, Lord!” ¥ The weatherman didn’t exactly put I the test of steel to the soldier Pythian in camp here this week—but the nippy night of their first camp outing was Inclined to try out their | ability to keep automatically warm. f The "Johnnie Rebs.” rebelled again —in Birmingham. It was at the men tion of a proposition to make the pres ent reunion the last. The old fellows have fire and grit and endurance left yet—and there need be only a test \o prove it. « Georgia is ahead again in some thing—something good, too, as usual. It is among the first three states in the Union and is first in the South in the enforcement and observance of laws providing for the protection of birds. » — - Knight Tom Mell is authority for the statement that the fact tbat the Pythian camp was pitched here mid way between the University and the cemetery was significant—that the short cut from a." education to glory was through a military career. » ■ Judge Emory Speer and Hon. John Temple Graves—Isn’t that a fine pair of speakers? They will speak next Saturday afternoon on the occasion of the dedicatory services marking the beginning of the work of carving the colossal, heroic monument on the sides of Stone Mountain. « Athens as a double barreled city was exemplified again yesterday when It was suggested at the opening ex ercises of the K. of P. convention that thp Grand Chancellor, a resident here and past chancellor of the local lodge Is also head of the visiting body and at least In some practical ways must be both host and guest—entertaining and entertained simultaneously. 4 ^ It may be that after all the United States and Mexico are like some other neighbors. If they can just get to gether and talk the thing over and really and thoroughly understand each other better they would be In position to be both In favor of peace. Many a fight baa been waged in Ignor ance-ignorance of the feelings and point of view of the opponent. 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.

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.” Tanlac is sold exclusively in Ath- 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. ens by the Citizens’ Pharmacy! in winterville by The Kroner Co. adv JUST AVERSADAY. 1 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.
