The time seems to have come when American women have to be 'taught how to rest. They have learned nearly everything else, jbut resting is something a good many of ( them have never had time to aoquire. There is a saying that Providence looks after the lame and the lazy. The implication is, apparently, that the healthy and the industrious know howto tike care of themselves. The fact remains, however, that they seldom do. They go until they drop and never seem to have the least idea t^at they are overdoing until they give oi.t entirely, One of the first things to bo learned about resting is that it is like some other remedies for the ills of this life. It is worth twice as much if taken at an early stage as it is if delayed until the disease has had time to gain ground. The true- philosophy of resting is to test before one is really tired. To know when to stop is as important a part after the mid day meal. While the process of digestion is going on thereshould no a temporary cessation of work. A rest of fifteen minutes or half-an hour pays lor . itself beforo the day is out. aTho woman should go off by herself, loosen any tignt olothing she may be wearing, atretoh out on a couch, in adarkonod room, shut her eyes and lie still for a fjxcd time. Even if she does not go to sleep she is sure to be restod. If she is nervous and excited she would do well to have some book of mild interest at hand in whioh she can read for ten of the thirty minutes she has allotted herself. This will oalm her and fit her for the sleep or rest the is trying to take. But this is not all she requires. A woman cannot rest sunplv by stopping work and staying in the house. She needs a great deal more than that. She needB to get out of the house, and when she goes out she must do something that is good for her. Active exercise is as much a desideratum of rest as absolute in basketry, and while the unintiated may not be able to oomprehond tho joys of this particular form off employment, it is a faot that there are many who revol in it. There are others who do bead work and others still who have some one of the many crafts that have drifted into women’s lives or late years. It makes no difference what a woman does,—whether she embroiders or weaves baskets or bead chains or hammers brass or burns wood,—so long as it diverts hor. If she doesn’t do this she would better play oards or tiddledy-winks. The objoot is of no importance,-.“the play’s the thing.” The woman should play in other ways, too. She should go to see repose. Here then are two essentials of of life’s schooling as to learn whore, j.Qgt, repose and outdoor exeroise. to begin. Indeed, the beginning j There are ethers.

The average busy woman who wants to rest, feels, just because it would be an agreeable sensation, that it must somehow be wrong’ She will make surethat she is as tired as sIiq can be before she lays aside her work and takes the few moments’ repose she may need, But, bv the time si comes to tint stage she is at a in.-.-i i«l of fatigue when a few iiiomoui.,' rest will do little lor her. tier first fancied economy was a mistake, and she is paying for it, as one dors for all mistakes. l.have spoken before in these columns of the harm done by the Puritan conscience. Its effect in making the earnest woman scourge herself into overwork is perhaps one FOR A NEW STATE Representative S. LL Fields of Dooly has prepared for introduction in the Georgia legislature a bill creating a new county, of which Uordsle is to bo the executive oity. Thenew county, as proposed by ill Mr. Fields, will comprise that portion of Dooly south of Uiohwood, about five milos of tho northern part ol Worth and a portion of Irwin and Wilcox counties. It will be about twenty-three milos oast and west, and about twenty-two north and Bouth. This is gotton up to offset the proposed now county of Hondorson, the formation of which would work, it is said, a most serious injury to Cordole, the busiest oity of South Georgia. Speaking of bis bill Mr. Fields today said: “This does not mean IT C* J O} VVVI klUU □ u VS 14111 LI Vs liU DViD 1/ f f +1 . u* iTT* that we are anxious to divide Dooly things that amuse her,-.; itbe WT bat thftt wo & un gLj® rd £ only the circus, bho^should seej-a DQ put right on tne line of Dooly good play when she can, hoar good music when it ctfmes her way, indulge in such social joys as present themselves.

It is argued that the pooplo to the south will acme here for their goods, and as a matter of convenience it will be better to have the county government here, if a new oohnty is to be formed.
