“I had heard about Black-

it, and am thankful to say
I was greatly benefited after

TO PHONE DEAD BEATS.
Dahlonega telephone rates are
made low with tho understanding
shat tho phones in residences are
for tho use only of the people liv
ing therein, and others using them
are simply dead beating the com
pany for service which belongs to
those who pay. It is just as dis
honest as covering childen from
the railroad conductor to save
your faro. If you have to save
the price-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
will show that you need a phone
in yodr business we will eon trib
ute one to save our regular sub
subscribers being bothered. Bor
rowing phone service is some
what similar to a borrowed news
paper. Both after being loaned
may need humdrving. But it
can’t be done. Pay for your
talk or walk.

Also Being Discussed as
Source of Wood Pulp.
Washington.—“Labrador, since the
definition ■ of its boundary with Can
ada, is being discussed ns a possible
summer haven for yachtsmen und a
source of wood pulp,” says a bulletin
from the Washington headquarters of
the National Geographic society.
“Though the southern end of Labra
dor is in tho latitude of London and
,tlie northern tip opposite Leningrad,
jio .warm ocean current washes its
shores to produce the temperate cli
mate of northern Europe. Cold win
ter winds sweep from the Arctic
across a rocky and sparsely inhabited
const, though explorers say the short
summers are delightful.
‘‘The entire region at present has
only about 3,000 population, about 000
less than forty years ago. North of
the settlement of llopedale, half way
up the coast from Newfoundland, tho
country is peopled mainly by Eskimos,
who have been largely Christianized
and live in neat wooden houses, sup
porting themselves by seal und cod
fisheries. In the interior scattered
Indians and half-breeds hunt the fox,
marten, hear, wolverine and other fur-
hearing animals which haunt ever
green woods stretching ns far north
as the Arctic boundary of forestation.
Rich in Lumber and Water Power.
“This fir belt covers large areas of
the interior of Labrador in all but tile
extreme northern part, hut only
touches the roelty coast at the heads
of long narrow hoys grp] the mouths
of rivers. As a future source of paper
pulp tnis hitherto little regarded re
gion is of immense value, and already
n few mills 'have 'been established and
concessions grunted. I’ulp forests are
one of the potential sources of wealth.
Another asset is unlimited water
power of the numerous coastal rivers.
“White settlements are mainly on
the southeastern coast of Labrador.
Here a sparse hut sturdy population
of Scotch and Scandinavian extrac
tion, together witih n few French Ca
nadians, carry on cod and whale -fish
eries. The number of white inhabi
tants Is quadrupled during the sum
mer months by Newfoundlanders who
come north for cod fishing, the prin
cipal industry. Of late years the
whale, seal and cod have all de
creased in numbers in Labrador wa
ters. This is thought to be one reason
for the steadily decreasing population
of the coast. Another factor is that
yonlnct with diseases of ct.riHz-a&ioa
has proved fatal to whole communi
ties of Eskimos und Indians. Mis
sionaries are making heroic efforts to
save the remainder of the native races
from extinction by teaching them to
adapt their mode of living to
changed conditions, and these good
offices have met with considerable
success.
Scenery Rivals Norway,
“One effort fo compensate for the
diminishing number of sea animals
lias been the introduction into Labra
dor of the reindeer, which has for
centuries been the main support of
the Lapps of northern Scandinavia
and which lias been successfully
raised in Alaska. This attempt is
said to have proved successful and
promises one solution of the food prob
lem if the development of pulp and
milling industries is extended. An
other alleviating condition is that
work In mills already established lias
'helped lift the workers from entire
dependence on the fluctuating for
tunes of fishing and hunting.
“Wireless stations are bringing
larger settlements into Closer contact
with the outside world. It is predict
ed that when tills means of communi
cation has boon extended and coasts
are bettor charted and lighthouse's
built that Labrador with its rocky In
lets and bracing climate will become,
like Norway, a rendezvous for sum
mer yachtsmen. During the short
northern summer Labrador is pictured
as a land of supreme ■ beauty. Itocky
headlands run far Into tho sea. Deep
(lords cut the fir-covered hills of the
interior, where subarctic vegetatioii
flourishes, and salmon streams invite
the fisherman. .Grand falls, on the
Hamilton river, is nearly three times
as high as NIngarn.”
For Her Sake
“Ye gods!” exclaimed Smith, who
had come up just in lime to see South
exchanging $30 for an antiquated car.
“What in heaven’s name are you buy
ing that old wreck for?”
“Well, explained South, “my wife
is ashamed every time site lias to ad
mit we haven’t a ear. ! can’t afford
a car, hut by having this thing that
won’t run and won’t need any upkeep
In the garage, she’ll ho able to say we
have n car and there’ll he no need to
go into any furl hot details."

WOMAN, 75, GUIDE
OF 3,100 SEM1NOLE.3
Mrs. Davi3 First of Sc?: to Be
Tribal Chief.
Wewoka, Okla.—Mrs. Alice B.
Davis, first woman ctdef of an Indian
tribe, now i the seventy-live-year-old
“guide, philosopher and friend" of
3,100 Seminole tribesmen, whom she
ruled for two brief periods in 1022.
She frequently appears in tlie Dis
trict court here as an Interpreter in
litigation Involving the oil lands of
the Sominoles.
Her father, John F. Brown, n Scotch
physician and graduate of the Uni
versity of Edinburgh, had come to the
United Stales as a surgeon during the
Civil war. At that time he. married
Lucy Red Beard, a Seminole.
A son became chief of the tribe and
won the title of “Governor” Brown.
After the leHor’s death Ids sK-inr
Alice was appointed by President
Harding to serve as chief for one day
In order to complete business which
her brother had left unfinished. A
month later she was reappointed in
order to sign nuThoiitativoly a deed
in behalf of tlie Seminole cation. The
deed called for the transfer of Emu
ll a kn mission to a private individual.
A school for Seminole girls, the
mission had heeri condemned and
abandoned nnd tho federal govern
ment wished to dispose of it. Mrs.
Davis refused to sign the deed. She
contended that the bind had been
sold without the consent of tile tribe
and that tfie Indians received no part
of the purchase price. For her refusal
she was immediately "separated” from
her position as chief of the tribe.
Her retirement to private life by
no means lessened her activities. She
keeps a record of births, deaths and
marriages among her people and is
always prepared to supply informa
tion to a fellow Seminole /ho wishes
to prove Ids claim to oil rights.
The federal government has sent
Mrs. Davis to Florida three times in
the last generation to act is Interpre
ter In trials involving Seminoles.
After being educated in Indian mis
sions, tlie daughter of the Scotch
physician and the Seminole maiden
became the wffo of a white man,
George Davis. She is llie mother of
eleven’ children.
U. S. Tests Solutions
for Moth-Proofing
Washington.—Clothes moths really
do have a hard time chewing up
woolen cloth and other fabrics of ani
mal origin that have been impreg
nated with one of tho various moth
proofing solutions now in wide use,
according to Dr. 10. A. Back of t he
bureau of entomology of (ho United
States Department of Agriculture.
It is misleading, however, to offer
an absolute guarantee of protection,
lie stales, and the common method
of merely spraying the fabrics of
fers hut little protection. The only
way to do tho job thoroughly is to
wet tho cloth through while it is still
in tlie whole piece,’and many manu
facturers have installed special ma
chinery for tliis purpose.
One of tlie favorite and most wide
ly advertised moth repellents consists
of 97 per cent of water with 3 per
cent of sodium aluminum sill™''
v.«um-n mi ir. Though this
solution sells at a very high price un
der its copyright trade name, it real
ly does work, if thoroughly applied.
Another newly n arketed class of
compounds is mtu, up of the cin
chona alkaloids, chemically ullled to
quinine.
Venetians First to
Restore Fading Sight
After visiting the University exhibi
tion In Rome, with lls quaint and mag
nificent collections, says a correspond
ent of the Baltimore Evening Sun,
there can remain no doubt in one’s
mind as to tlie fact Hint Italy has been
I he mother of spectacles. Professor
Albertottl, a professor at the Univer- |
sily of Fndun and dqan of the oculists
of Italy, collected a number of ancient
and modern hooks about spectacles,
and illustrated tlys valuable material
hi a treatise which lie dedicated to
Senator Isidore del Lungo. Tho latter
had attributed the invention of spec
tacles for short-sighted nnd long
sighted persons to the Dominican
monk, Fra Alessandro della Spina, of
l’isn.
But Professor Albertottl, whose au
thority in tills matter is unchallenged,
is of tlie opinion that the glory of first,
making spectacles must he attributed
to Venice, tlie home of glass and pure
crystal. • From the codex of the “Ca-
pltolarj della Aril” of the stnto of
Venice, dated 1201, It is found that
severe penalties were applied to dis
honest spectacle makers who used sim
ple glass instead of pure crystal.
Another document proving the an
tiquity of spectacles Is a portrait of
Cardinal Hugh, of province, painted
by -Thomas of Modena, iu jbe chnpter
of St. Nicholas at Trevisq, In which
tlie cardinal is represented as wearing
spectacles. The minister of education,
Signor Fedcle, also lent a rare picture
by tlie Umbrian painter; Niccolo Alun-
no, representing the Virgin and Child
with St. Jerome, who is reading a
book with n largo pair of spectacles
across ]iis Do»e. _____ , , - -

Louisiana Woman Tells Why
She Relics On Cardui For
Her Troubles.
“When Just a girl,”
writes Mrs. G. W, Britt,
of Haughton, La., “I suf
fered quite a bit at times
.... I would be so tired
all the time that, I didn’t
really enjoy anything.
“I took threo bottles of
Cardui and very soon, I
saw quito a difference.
“Later on in life, aftef,.
I got married, I was very 1
weak and nervous, before
my baby came. I remem
bered what Cardui had,
done for me when a girl
and sent for it again. 1 1
“I only had taken two
bottles when I felt so much
stronger and bettor.
“I am a great believer
in Cardui because I know
it did mo good."
Cardui should do you

Inn’s Historic Stone
At tlie Griflin inn, at Whetstone,
stands an old stone on which the army
of Edward IV are said to have sharp
ened their swords on the way to the
battle of Barnet, on April 1-1, 1-171. j
When it was heard that the inn 1
was to he reconstructed it was feared !
jthat (Ids historic stone would bo re
moved. This is not so, however; tho I
stone is to remain on (he spot on j
Which it stood on tlie day of tlie
battle.
The Gridin inn itself was made fa
mous by George Morland, tlie painter,
who, on finding himself unable to pay
his bill for herrings and gin, “paid”
it by painting n sign for tho inn. The
sign was lost during a snowstorm 30
years ago.—London Answers.
Had Alphabet 10,090
Years Ago, Si one Shows
Vichy, France.—That man possessed
a definite alphabet 10,0UU years ago,
apparently has been established by
the finds made by tlie International
Commission of Scientists investigating
tlie excavations at Glozel, near here.
Controversy over the authenticity of
(lie supposedly neolithic remains de
veloped last September when Rene
Dussaud, conservator of the Louvre
museum, said that the implements
and hones were “planted” nt Glozel
less than twenty years ago and prob
ably as n hoax.
’Tlie anthropological congress which
heard his changes then took up the
appointment of a committee to deter
mine tlie authenticity of the find. The
scientists began digging after taking
precautions against fraud. At first
they found nothing. But Inter, in a
field believed to he the site of a neo
lithic cemetery, they unearthed a
piece of polished stone. This showed
a drawing of a deer nnd six distinct
ly engraved characters of the disputed
Glozel alphabet and a red clay Idol ,
on which the. Glozel death mask—a
face without a mouth—was visible. |
Sawdust for See
There Is no reason why sawdust
cannot be used year after year for
packing ice. It will undoubtedly be
come discolored with age, but so long
as it does not become mixed with dirt
or other foreign matter, its usefulness
ns a packing materia! will not be af
fected by repealed use. Sawdust de
cays very slowly, where conditions qre
not at all favorable to fungus growth.
The dust is not only cold during use,
but is constantly wet—factors which
prevent or at least greatly retard the
development of wood-destroying fungi
Famous Buildings
Among the most famous buildings
of tlie ancient and modern world are

Ex-Kaiser Buys Island
in Lake Maggiora
London.—A Geneva dispatch to the
Dally Express says that the former
German kaiser lias bought Iwo small
islands in Lake Maggiore, facing Lo
carno, Switzerland. One Island is (o
be rechristened "Island of the World's
Peace.” It Is reported that tlie ex
kaiser Intends to build a winter res
idence there. The purchase for
£11,000 (roughly $70,000) was effect
ed by the ex-kaiser's business man
ager, Baron Von der Rlieldt.
Boy Who “Made Good”
Hans Christian Andersen, who be
came famous as a writer of fairy tales,
was a poor boy. He was not attrac
tive or popular and he did not do
well in school. He was considered
queer and about town was known as
tlie "ugly duckling." He was horn at
Odense, the oldest town in Denmark.
When die king of Denmark heard
about Hans’ genius lie took an interest
in tlie boy and sent him to n special
school. 'Then Hans went traveling. lie
had an ambition to write great dramas
and novels, hut at this lie was not a
success, says Pathfinder Magazine. But
in inventing simple little stories lie
was tlie world’s master. lie con
sidered these Utile tales almost, worth
less, but his fame spread all over tlie
world.
Superior Women Raise
Men to Higher Level
In a marriage where tlie two people
are of unequal birlli or tradition, it
is better tlrfit tlie wife bo of superior
grade because she is much more likely
to lift the marriage and the children
to her cultural level, according to
Rhcta Childe Dorr In an article In
Liberty.
“An inferior wife,” explains (lie nti-
fllor, “too often drags I lie husbahd
down, because, alas, tlie male of tlie
species finds it only tob easy to slump.
Robert Louis Stevenson noted this
among the missionaries of tlie South
sens. The men, lie tells us, “after a
few years grow careless of dress and
behavior, neglect to sliave or ’ bathe,
nnd in extreme cases practically go
native. Tlie women, on the,contrary,
hardly change at all, but after 20
years among natives live, dress, dnd
act exactly as they did nt home."
Knew He Would Help
In a field where Barrie sat thinkin[g
out a story there were lambs. One Of
them strayed away fom its mother,
turned around three times nnd was
lost. The bleating was terrific. Bar
rie had to put down ids work and lead
it back to its mother. Hardly had lie
returned to ills seat before another
lamb did just the same. They went
on doing it, one after another, keeping
Barrie "busy taking them back to
mamma.
But the wonderful tiling was that,
after a time, instead of looking for
tlieir mother themselves they Just
came to Barrie and insisted on him
finding her for them.
“Barrie contends, says Jerome K. .fe-
route, who tells tlie story iii “My Life
nnd Times,” that lambs are much more
Intelligent than is generally supposed.
Words Most Used
Analysis of business letters, news
papers and ordinary correspondence
lias produced a list of 50 words said
to be used more frequently than any
others:
Tlie, and, of, to, I, a, In, that, you,
for, it, was, is, will, ns, have, not,
with, be, your, at, we, on, he, by, but,
my, tills, his, which, dear, from, are,
all, me, so, one, if, they had, lias, very,
were, been, would, she, or, there,
her, an.
The first 12 words make, on the
average, 30 out of every 100 words
commonly used. The 50 words run 50
to the 100 In nil ordinary writing.
Only one of the 50, “very,” has more
than one syllable.
Paper-Shelled Nuts
With reference to tlie pecan, the
term “paper shell’’ has been extended
in its application until it is now prac
tically without significance. Originally
applied to those .ypes of pecans hav
ing such*thln shells that one could
easily be cracked when two wore
crushed together in one hand, tlie
term during recent years lias been
made to Include all cultivated varie
ties, many of which have fully ns hard
shells as the average wild nuts. Prop
erly speaking, tho term “paper shell 1 ’
never referred to a particular variety;
its correct applicat? n has been only
with reference to varieties having verj
thin shells.
