Today is porkless day at our house.
So have been a good many other days
in every last one of the past few
dozen weeks.
One of the most striking things of
the recent turn of affaire in the in
ternal troubles of Germany is the
working class. •
Those German workingmen are
striking for more representation and
leas taxation; more democracy and
less militarism.
The Journal very economically and
horticulturally suggests that the gar
den plot is one thing that will help
to offset the Hun diplomacy and the
Prussian Intrigue. Plant 'er there,
Pard!
The “ninety days” to which Former
Chief Beavers was sentenced to serve
as chief again, after a wrangle for a
year or more, has expired. But he
seems to have dropped back Into his
old habit of holding on. There Is no
hint that he will resign or that a re
signation will be requested.
Carranza seems to have broken
loose in a new sort of anniversary
place. It may become apparent even
to the casual mind after a while ex
actly what for Uncle Sam sent that
expeditionary force to the border
some months ngone. There are a num-
zer of things which have never been
told of that Mexican border campaign.
One of the Atlanta papers has n
characteristic error. In a stock Btory
of the shooting of a ’plane by an Am
erican flier on his first trip, the head
ing read “Atlanta Flyer, etc.” He
waB only an “American” flyer—but
the habit was fixed lit the Atlanta
newspai>er offices. The boy had act
ually. probably, hy some chance pass
ed through Atlanta pn a sleeper one
night when his parents moved West
eighteen years ago.
if the good orthodox Jew can do
without pork all his life, says one
commentator on the Hooverism in
America, If a good Catholic can do
without his meat every Friday in the
year, if a good Episcopalian can do
without meat during Lent, If a good
Mohammaden can do without liquor all
his life, we, Americans, In a case
where the safety of ourselves and the
rest of the civilzed world is at stake
can certainly do without wheat on
Monday, meat on Tuesday, wheat on
Wednesday, pork on Saturday. It’s
all Id the spirit in which we go Into
this thing. Try It the right way! See
H It isn’t eaay!
A POUND OF FLOUR LESS EACH WEEK
“Go back to the simple life, be contented with simple food, simple
pleasures, simple clothes. Work hard, pray hard, play hard, work, eat, re
create and sleep. Do it all courageously.
“We have a victory to win.”
The foregoing are the words of Federal Food Administrator Hoover.
Stop, think, act. '
A pound of flour less each week for every citizen In this country will
help to win the war. Are you not. willing to eat a little less flour eacli day
and increase, if It must be. on meal, rye flour, graham, rice or grits? You
Will be Just as healthy and Just a* strong as If you had eaten the extra
pound of flour during the week.

feed them is no sacrifice on our part; but an amount equal to what we have
wasted In the past will prove sufficient to care for them and keep them
condition to protect us and ours.
It Is not practicable to send them corn. They are not prepared to grind
corn, neither are they accustomed to eating corn bread. We are not asked
to eat corn bread entirely, but to reduce the amount of flour now consumed
to only a pound the week less than we are now using. Who can complain
at this request?
This country produces 88,000,000 bushels of wheat more than is used
by our people, but tills will not he sufficient to care for them. We must
send them over a hundred million bushels of wheat. It can come only from
this country and it can be saved only by our people reducing their consump
tion a small amount each week.
You can help to make wheat plentiful. Will you be one to eat one pound
less of flour each week?
JUSTAVERSEADAY
FAITH.
I.
Before the frost tinge scarce has left the air—
I hear, full-throated burst of song »
From feathered friend I know—somewliere
His faith has been assured that spring delays not long.
H.
While later snows were falling and the white
World shivered, desolate and cold, I found
The living hud upon the lilac, full and bright—
Us faith in coming season welled up from the ground.
III.
And thus with us: III trial most severe.
When all the world aliout Is but reflection grey of death,
There Is within us, springing up—unconsciously, or clear—
The vital hope through faith’s warm breath.
The farmer may be the "wot feeds
cus all,” all right—but Just the same,
“us-all” is handing it to the farmer
man Just now and handing him about
all we can get hold of for a poor lit
tle ration of eggs and syrup and peas
and things like that which we used
to barely deign to consider as fit food
Hnve to hand the farmer now Just
four times the amount he used to ask
for a hen—and all on account of the
high price of the hen-food that Is gen
erously and generally fed in such
large and lavish proportions to t,ie
heus aoout the country domicile. All
the materials whicn go into the mak
Ing of an egg have gone up, too—and
“an egg” now costs es much as half
n dozen “eggs” used to require—al
bumen. and sulphur and lime and all
those mineral and other elements
which the hennery man has to lay in
great and castly supplies of to make
eggs from, are said to be now enorm
ously elevated In the price-lists.

There was once n man who made a Wish.
And he did such an excellent Job—
That It was not n Wish, at all—
But a Living Deed, when it was done.

A refinement of medical science
which brings Joy to every mother's
heart as well as comfort and safety
to her children is a very mild salve
which tbe nose and throat special
ists have recently perfected for
mother's use In keeping her child’s
nose and throat clean, sanitary and
free from secretions and germs.
This salve, which all drug stores sell
under the name Eucaplne Salve, Is so
mild and agreeable that the little
tots enjoy using it and. in tact soon
learn to call for it by name and doc
tor themselves when they feel a cold
or sore throat coming on. Babies
and young children, of course, do not
know how to blow the nose; the se
cretions accumulate, become insani
tary, Irritating and germ-infested
and may thus lead to such complica
tions ss earache, deafness, enlarged
tonsils, adenoids and even to pneu
monia and tuberculosis.
Much danger and suffering may be
avoided by tbe mother’s timely use
of Eucaplne Salve, which may now
be. had in Athens at the drug stores
of H. R. Palmer & Sons and at other
first class stores. Prloe twenty-five

to enforce the traffic ordinances ot
the city. ’A number of cases have
been made recently for speeding and

Another important section of the

enforced is the one- which relates to
eutos and other vehicles blocking
traffic and fire wagons hurrying to

This section is one or the most
