Dahlonega telephone rates are made low with tho understanding shat the phones in residences are for the use only of ihe people liv ing therein, and others using them are simply cleaflhehting the com pany for service which belongs to those who paV. It is just as dis honest as ooVb'i’ing childcn from the railroad conductor to save your fare. If you Irnvo to save the prieo of a telephone be honest enough to carry your messages ro mail them at 1 cent each. Howev er you will have to pay for the stamp. If you are a pauper and wili show that you need a phone In vour business we will contrib ute one to save onr regular sub subscribers being bothered. Bor rowing] phone service is some what similar to a borrowed news paper. Both after being loaned may need laundrying. But it can’t be done. Pay for your talk or walk. Daiilonga Tei.Himioxe Company. VARIETY OF FOODS BEST FOR HEALTH For (be sake of health, everyone should strive to'maintain 1 he normal weight for bis height and age, to be neither too fat nor too tldn, declares Ethel Somers, dietetic expert, in an article in Liberty. "if one, eats a great variety of foods In 'quantities sulliciont to maintain normal 'body weight,” 'Miss ■Somers explains, "Ihe diet is 1 usually a satis factory one. Every pound of body weight is known to be the equivalent of 4,000 stored calories, yet counting calories is no longer considered es- ,sen! ini reckoning in the 1 program of ^getting 'fuU-or thin. “A' liberal and persistent dally use of simple'foods which'do not upset digestion is the best way to put on [weight," the writer continues. “Out- of-door activity, limited exercises, warm clothing and change of health [habits, especially sleeping habits, will help in the struggle which in time will 'meet with success. Adding nvolrdu- ,polsi necessarily means eating regular ly‘more than one needs.” Empress Lives Simply in Twilight of Life Once the dazzling beauty and cen tral light in the oriental splendor of the court of Petrogrnd, Marla Feodo- rowna, elghty-year-old dowager em press of Russia, Is now living the Spartan life of a humble citizen. Her •home Is a modest seaside residence. Ilyldoere, just outside Copenhagen, bought years ago by her sister, the late Quoen Alexandra of England. It la -without central heating or stoves »f any kind, for it was built as a summer residence only. Amid this comparative poverty the empress knits and . embroiders and sells hor 'handi work at the charity bazars for the benefit of Russian refugees. Her bed spreads and scarfs fetch (fancy prices. Once a clay she goes for a short -drive in the adjacent woods, and this is the only break In her dally life. On the doormat outside her bedroom sleeps a gigantic old Cossack, guarding the life of his mistress ns he has done for 30 venrs. >• The Way It Goes “It’s queer how the affairs of the average man pursued,” stated old Ri ley Rozzidew of Petunia. "A feller will go spraddling along for years without any premeditation, getting the itch and religion and being run over by Fords and drug around by tho :same, and getting shot for an' iuno- cent bystander, and fighting with his kin, and just sorter fiddlin’ along that- n-wnjvnnd then all of n sudden wake up and find hisself dead or famous, nobody knows why.” “Aw, looky here!” ejaculated Con stable Sam T. Slackpuller. “What the dickens are you trying to sav, any how?” "Burned If I know!”—Kansas City Star. Home Runs The strange fighting that has been going on in Nicaragua led Gen. Hugh Drum to say at a Washington tea: "They don’t battle down there. The rebels’ method is more like n street 1 brawl. It reminds me of a story. 1 ^ “Some years ago, in a war between Chili and Peru, a young war corre spondent said to an old one: “‘Neither army goes in for uni forms nnd In consequence I can’t tell which Is which.' “‘Oh, that's easy,’ said the'old~cor- respondent. ‘if you see on army run ning towards Chile it’s Chilean, and if it’s running towards Peru it’s Peru vian.’’’—Kansas City Times. “Died Last Week” Mm my, tho young son of Mr. and Mrs. George O. Jackson, will bo six years old in January and ready for school. Instead of being happy' over the prospect, Jimmy does not want to go. The following conversation recent ly took place between the youngster nnd liia mother: “Mother, I’m not going to school.” "But, Jim, how can you get out of it? All little boys and girls have to go to school.” “We—11, I”ll Just have Bob take a note to the teacher nnd say ‘Jim died last week.’ ”—Indianapolis News. World’s Swiftest Girl The licetest girl in the world Dalis from Japan. Miss Fumlko Terao ex changed her . kimono for running shorts, nnd earned her right to the title of “swiftest girl alive” when she won the 100-meler sprint in the all-Japanese sports carnival held re coil! ly near Tokyo. Her lime was 10 4-5 seconds. Fumi- ko lias beaten ail men runners of her own country and all the best women runners in the world.—London Tit- Bits. BRING THIS AID TO Clarice Hat Shop Mrs. C. W.

His Method “Doesn't it worry you to hear the still small voice?” “Yes, I tune In on something else.” Unusual “Why' that strange expression on your face, old man?” "Oh, I was just thinking.” Optimist Points Out Sliver Lining to Cloud Barney Oldfield, the famous auto- mobilist, said on disembarking at Now York from his European tour: “We are capturing more and more of the European automobile trade. In London, Paris, everywhere, you seo thousands of American automo biles. Some people say that our trade is going to suffer in Europe now on account of hard times and so on, hut for many reasons I don't accept that view. I’m an optimist there. "The fact is, I’m an optimist every where. Al! things, I claim, have their bright side. “Take, for Instance, the old saying that few people practice what they preach. That is very sad, of course, hut how much sadder It would be If we all preached what we practice!” Youth Was “Loaded” Paul Muller, a Gemma youth of sev enteen years, is serving a jail sen tence of four months' on a charge of burglary, at Shaiglini, China. Police refer to Muller as a “walking arsenal and bar.” When arrested lie was weighted down with ioO rounds of ammunition, two pistols, 18 hotiles of beer, two bottles of whisky, one bot tle of gin, six hollies of soda water, two tumblers, .six forks, six knives and eight claret glasses. Muller said lie "found” the goods. Concerning Love and Things of That Kind “Most of the troubles men suffer from consist in bc'ng loved too well by Ihe wrong woman and not being loved well enough by the right one." “The man who makes a good lover Is Ihe man who loves women first and u woman afterwards. Every woman should learn this vital fact and never forget it. . . . Emm the general to tho particular Is tho rule In love. To know how to love one woman you must love all women, or the Idea of woman, which is the same tiling.” "K you want to lose your wife there’s two ways to do it. One way is to take her where there’s nothing to spend money on, no matter whether its in the United States of America or in some hick town in Patagonia. And the other way Is to take hor somewhere where tilings are better 'than she’s -used to, and where she’ll get ideas in dier head. Before you know where you are she’s too good for her own country or her own town, and you can’t get her home again. If you want to keep your wife, keep her where you found her and make out that she’s better than her neigh bors.”—From "Now East, Now West,” by Susan Arts. Australia fia3 Sea Serpent The most extraordinary testimony of the existence today of the sea ser pent comes from Australia. I'arliters living amid (he swamps lane been perplexed at the frequent disappearance of their cattle. They tbought thieves took the animals nnd bore them away by boat, hut there were no tracks of men or horses—only a curious wide furrow lending to the beach. One night a boj was awakened by the dogs, and, calling some farmhands, rushed out with Ills gun. lie was amazed to see "a great dark object re sembling a huge snake, traveling across fences nnd paddocks at a ter rific rate. Its li!»nd was held high in the air, and in its mouth was a strug gling calf." The wide trail was followed to the beach, nnd ihe monster was seen to plunge into the sea. Ci:r:c::i Alloys In these days chemistry is enabling man to make over some of the most useful metals very much at his will and greatly to his profit. In England interesting reports have been made on the properties of alloys of copper, aluminum and manganese, which show remarkable peculiarities. An alloy of 88 per cent copper, 0.09 per cent aluminum nnd ’2.01 per cent man ganese showed enormous ftmsile strength, a cold-drawn bar having a yield point of 40.88 tons per square inch and an ultimate stress of 52.0S tons per square inch. Another alloy is so hard that it can take a cutting edge sharp enough to sharpen a lead pencil. The British admiralty 1ms been experimenting with these alloys in order to determine their resistance to corrosion In sea Water. Leaders Too Strenuous A popular musical composer recent ly incurred popular censure In Madrid for beating time witli his hands alone instead of using a baton, when con ducting a revue of ids' own composi tion at the Esclava theater. This incident recalls to the Epoea do Madrid tho tragic fate of Lulii, a celebrated composer. It is related that while conducting a Te Deum in the chapel at Versailles as a thanks giving for tiie recovery of Louis XIV he struck himself a blow with ids baton, as a result of which gangrene set in, causing ids' death. Wandering Crocodile In its haste to get to (lie next show place, near Avignon, France, a menag- I erio nnd circus lost a crocodile, nnd j nobody noticed the loss until arrival nt the destination the next morning. Searching parties were organized, and the manager tried to calm the fears of the inhabitants by assertions that croc odiles' are not dangerous at this time j of tho year, and can go three mouths 1 without eating. jealousy "Why were you speeding?” demand ed the cop. “I wasn’t speeding,” answered Mr. Brown humbly. “I was just trying to pass the man who bought my old car.” Feminine Age She—I’m not on speaking terms with Freddie. The mean thing wouldn’t give me his seat at the bar ber’a tGx morning.—Sydney Bulletin. VV. B. TOWNSEND, Editor and Pro DENY BROWN BREAD IS ALL-ESSENTIAL Brownbrenders nnd whltebronders are having a duel to the death in the British isles. Sir Arbutl not Lang nnd his health society are the champions of whole wheat bread. The perpetually youth ful Fnnnie Ward has also cast her lot with the nntl-whites. Fannie says she doesn’t eat nny broad, but if she did It would certain ly not be white. -The millers of tho British Isles are furious about (lie brown-bread cam paign, as charges have been made that the vltnmlnes of class B are bleached out of white flour. Sir George Newman, the chief medi cal ©filter of the ministry of health, and a number of other prominent phy sicians have aligned themselves with tlio whltebronders. Sir George says* 1 the extravagant claims put forth on behalf of brown bread are unconvinc ing nnd of trilling importance, ns the all-essential point is that eacli person get a proper allowance of vita mines in his entire diet. Sir Thomas Hor- der,- a celebrated British physician, takes similar ground. FOND MEMORIES OF TOP BUGGY LINGER More mention of the buggy brings fond recollections to many hearjsj How smart it looked in fresh paint behind a spirited horse In shiny leath er harness! Wlmt pride, exquisite al most disdain, shone in ihe features of the youth as this equipage of his un der Ids skillful and graceful .direction caught the admiring glances of soft eyes! It was in the top 'buggy that blissful hours were spent, on the way ito dances, to picnics, or just for the ride. It was a wonderfully favorable medium f. for courtship, arid , many a mature .couple who*noxv sit 1 back in the tonneau-of their eight-cylinder se dan first felt in the -old top buggy .those mysterious and powerful stlr- T'ingn of tho heart Hint united them for life. Doubtless they think of that vehicle wit'll a sigh as they now glide smoothly, noiselessly and comfortably along. Surely the times are changing and we are changing with them.—Ihith- findcr Magazine. Cautious Character A Newton man came In and said he had an Hein for tii’e automobile page. He said he went for a drive to sev eral towns with a friend and In the course of the journey had to cross several railroads. "At every cross ing,” the Newton man declared, “that follow would slow up, look both ways up nnd down the track, and ff there was a train coming anywhere in sight lie would stop the car and wait for the train to pass. I asked him why ■lie was so careful, and lie looked sur prised and said lie always did that. He said I10 saw an automobile try to butt a train off the track once and was convinced that it could not be done. Besides that, lie said his wife promised to have strawberry short cake for supper that night and he did not want to die before supper."—New ton Kansan. Of Backache and Weak ness Helped by Cardui. Because she wants other women to know about Cardui, Mrs. Ina Mae Jin righ t, Routo No. 2, Troy, Ala., says this: ."Mostly, I was afflicted '■with bad spells of back ache. At times I felt as If my back would break. '.I would drag one foot af ter another, in a helpless sort of a way, and once I got down in bed. "My husband told me about Cardui and got me a bottle. I soon found out what a fine medicine it was. Ever since my first experience with it, I have continued taking it for wo manly troubles and, after a few bottles, I have al ways been well.” Get a bottle, today, at your drug store. A Turn-Down Vice President Barnhart of (he Na tional Surety company of New York- said the oilier day that the modern girl expects a man to spend 850 nt least when lie takes her out of an evening, whereas her mother was con tent with an expenditure of 85. "The modern girl, I’m afraid, Is ex travagant,” Mr. Barnhart went on. “A young hank clerk proposed'to a mod ern girl the other night: “‘Darling,’ lie wound up anxiously, ‘you could live on $00 a week, couldn’t you?’ “The girl laughed. *'‘Yes,’ she said, ‘but no longer.”’ NOTICE.

Keeping Up to Date ”1 don’t suppose your old stories go very well with your bobbed-hair pa trons?” remarked t he bald-headed man who was making a couple of flappers wait while lie had a wholly superfluous haircut. “Gosh, no,” replied the (onsorialist. “I have to road the social column and the movie news every morning now In order to carry on an intelligent con versation.”—Portland Express. Mother’s Holiday The mother of three unruly chil dren was I11 the habit of coming to the gate with them each morning to greet the teacher in whose class -they were on her way to the school. On the first morning after the holidays she appeared at usual, thrusting the children before hor. As the teacher appeared she exclaimed in a voice fraught with emotion nnd relief: “Good roomin', miss.

Practical Solution Mrs. A.—I sat up for iiours last night with a wet towel around my head trying to solve the help problem.

Fear Makes Poor Workers "Employers of vision are fast learn ing that workers who fear losing their jobs are not half so efficient or orig inal as those who have emancipated themselves from this very human ■ curse,” says Helen Woodward, success ful woman advertising executive and author, in McClure’s Magazine. "But there are still a great many who be lieve in making punctual machines of frightened nnd baffled workers, chained to the prison of a job.” Must Earn Success One reason why so few men recog-, nize opportunity is because it Is dis guised as hard work. If every one were willing to pay the price of suc cess they would be more successful 1 than they are today. Price is always! hard work.—Grit. j
