of a number of men and women in Bartow county

Look back for one year and count the number who a year

Have you any better promise now than they had then?
Are you insured? Have you made provision for those de
pendent on you, whose lives will be full of hardship if you neg
lect this provision? If not, delay no longer—attend to it at
once— NOW! Don’t delay. Time passes rapid 1 y. Regrets for
lust opportunities will not recall them, and it will be too late
when your hour conies to grieve over your neglect and its
inevitable results. Get insured now while you are well.
Call on W. H. Howard, whq will insure you in a strong,
reliable old line company that fulfills to the letter every prom

Bv draping the face with a towel we

sing a song in a nasal voice or carry
on a conversation with the audience
in the voice of an old woman. To
make the audience laugh heartily let
the old woman cough and sneeze and
open her mouth wide while 6he is

FOR THE LITTLE ONES. .
How a Dog Discovered He Was M lo
ta ken In His Friend.
When Mr. Wood, the English
6culptor, was living in Rome, he had
a noble Scotch deerhound named
Eric. This dog formed a friendship
with a fine large French dog belong
ing to an artist. The two used to
run and leap together, and Eric
would occasionally bring his friend
to the studio, where he was always
invited in and treated hospitably.
Sometimes the French dog would
come to the studio door and wait for
Eric to frolic or takeaw&lk with him.
One day Mr. Wood was returning
home from his studio, accompanied
by the two dogs. Suddenly there was
a great commotion. A mob of dogs
had attacked the two friends, and
there was a battle royal. It seemed
as if the Roman canines had made a
conspiracy against the foreign dogs.
The conflict raged for some time,
but victory was apparently declar-
ing itself for the two when the
French dog slunk away and left Eric
to finish the battle alone. This the
plucky Briton cheerfully did and
went home in a calm and modest
manner to have his wounds washed.
But the next day when the
French dog called as usual at the
studio nothing could induce Eric to
take the smallest notice of him.
Mr. Wood coaxed and scolded and
finally brought the French dog up
close to Eric, patting and caressing
him. All in vain. Eric would not
even turn his head toward the recre
ant.
His behavior said plainly enough
that he had been mistaken in the
Frenchman’s character as an officer
and a gentleman. Out of considera
tion for their old friendship he
would not turn and rend him, but
he must decline all further inter
course. And this line of conduct he
pursued ever afterward. —Youth’s

Oh, It Is the Life For Mel
"Oh, I love a country life,"
Baid a boy with vigor rife;
"Love to toss the hay around.

Love to ride upon the load,
Blowly o’er the turnpike road;
Hear the driver haw and gee
As he’s borne along with me.
While the oxen understand
Right and lef| of the command!
"Oh, it is the life for me!”
Said this boy from care so free,
Whistling as he went along,

As he strode adown the lane
After kine that homeward came;
For the milking hour was near.

Saved by the Sheep.
A Boise City (Ida.) little girl start
ed across the divide for school, and
shortly after her departure a terri
ble snowstorm set in. As she had
not reached the schoolhouse at Hi
o’clock it was feared that she was
lost, and accordingly a searching
party wandered over the hills, hop
ing to find some trace of the poor
little girl. They at last found her
in an old shed with a number of
sheep, among which she had cud
dled down,.and thus escaped being
frozen to death.
Drummers In Sweden,
Commercial travelers arriving in
Sweden from other countries have
to get a license, which costs 100
crowns per month. The employees
at the hotels are careful not to en
lighten them on this point, because
the former gets part of the 100
crowp. fine fmposed on those who
neglect to get a license.

The
Problem of a
Tired Mother
One of the marvels of our time
is the way in which the average
mother carries all the burdens of
social, benevolent, church and
family life.
It’s no wonder that nerve
troubles attack the mother how
can she help being nervous,
especially while the little ones are
so troublesome ?
No woman can endure the
strain of her housework and two
or three little ones unless her
digestive powers are unusually
good. She can’t manufacture force
enough to stand the strain.
We can suggest one thing that
will surely help her, and it isn’t a
drug poison either. It is Vinol,
made by anew process from that
wonderful remedy, cod liver oil;
it’s a true tonic.
Vinol is pleasant to taste, “ goes
right to the spot,” nourishes and
helps the food to nourish, is splen
did for nursing mothers and all
tired out home helpers. I have
found it safe and good for ailing
children. With Vinlax to correct
the constipation, it has put whole
families in this place on the road
to health. Used in time, it saves
nervous break-down. Your money
back if you don’t find this true.

What a Great Telescope Can Do.
The excellence of the Lick thirty
six inch telescope and the steadiness
of the air when the conditions are
good on Mount Hamilton are attest
ed by the statement of Mr. W. J.
Hussey, one of the observers there,
that double stars whose components
are nearly equal in brightness can
be measured if the distance between
them exceeds one-tenth of a second
of arc. What this mqans in accuracy
of definition may be understood by
remembering the fact that one-tenth
of a second is equal to the apparent
diameter of the head of an ordinary
pin viewed by the naked eye if the
eye could see it at a distance of two
miles.
Working the Government.
.’The Australian government has
found it necessary to make a grant
in aid of the federal parliament re
freshment rooms, as they do not
pay. Members of parliament have
therefore another addition to make
to their long list of perquisites.
With a salary of $2,000 and the run
of the best clubrooms in Melbourne,
free postal, telephone and telegraph
services, free railway traveling, free
novels from the best lending libra
ries and free stationery, they can
claim to get their meals at less than
cost price. Every meal they eat at
Parliament House means a loss to
the consolidated revenue.
Neither Alive Nor Dead.
Recent researches by Professor
Macfayden have shown that many
micro-organisms can be exposed to
the temperature of liquid air for a
period of six mofiths without any
appreciable loss of vitality, although
at such a temperature the ordinary
chemical processes of the living cell
must cease. Referring to Professor
Macfayden’s experiments, Professor
James Dewar says that the organ
isms in the state just described
“cannot be said to be either alive or
dead in the ordinary acceptation of
these words. It is anew and hither
to unobtained condition of living
matter, a third state.”

An Ancient Foe
To health and happiness is Scrofula —

It causes bunches in the neck, dis

resistance to disease and the capacity
for recovery, and develops into con
sumption.
••A bunch appeared on the left side of
my neck. It caused great pain, was lanced,
and became .a running sore. I went into a

Imitation New Potatoes.
Here is a way in which imitation
new potatoes are made: Late in the
season, after the other crops are out
of the way, the gardener plants a crop
of late and good keeping jjptatoes.
These potatoes are dug and buried in
heaps in the open field and left until
spring opens and the new potato sea
son arrives. At the proper time the
heaps are opened and the potatoes dip
ped into a boiling solution to curl the
skin. The effect of dipping any potato,
no matter how old, into this boiling
lye solution is to crack and curl the
skin, and at the same time it hardens
or makes the potato much more firm,
so that its resemblance to anew po
tato is so near that it would be hard
to pick out the impostor, from appear
ance alone, from a of the gen
uine artiele.--London Globe.
Key to Human Stature.
The Paris Academie des Sciences
is examining a theory to the effect
that the key to human stature lies in
the gland situated in the throat un

any child can be made to grow to
maximum height.
