NEWS ITEMS FROM
GEORGIANS CAPITAL
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 13. The high
cost of living ami measures to com
bat the soaring of prices of foodstuffs
are the main topics in Georgia s cap
ital city this week. Tin* city author
ities have ordered SIOO,OOO worth of
United States Army supplies ami will
distribute them through local stores
which will charge only ten I*'r wot
for handling. At the capital the meas
ure creating the state council of de
fense with broad powers to regulate
the sale and distribution of ftasl held
the limelight in the closing days of
the memorable session.
The recent session of the general
assembly was probably the most mo
mentous in recent years. Coming on
the heels of the world war and facing
grave problems growing out of gener
ally disturbed conditions, the legisla
tors grappled with some vexatious mat
ters which they handled boldly and
without any attempt to shirk their
responsibilities. The highway lulls
are believed certain to mark an era
of progressive reforms which will put
leorgla in the front rank in the south
of “Forward-looking” commonwealths.
Hankers of. the state say that the bank
ing bill is a most important, step for
ward and that it will tend to stabil
ise business conditions generally.
The only scars left by the session
were the result of the bitter tight
which Macon waged for the removal
of the state capital and the equally
bitter maimer in which Atlanta met
the attempt of her sister city to take
it front her. Some little rancor was
also brought about by the gratuituous
.filling of the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment t,o the constitution. Suffrage
1
leaders resented the action of both
houses, stating that it should never
have been pressed to a vote. The fili
buster of ten days in the Senate was
the result of the friends of the meas
ure trying to avoid defeat for it.
So far there have been no intima
tions from the office of District Attor
ney Hooper Alexander of any criminal
prosecutions in Georgia for profiteer
ing, but \j. .T. Haley, head of the secret
service in the South, lms sent his men
out looking for evidence. Under the
direction of the president, very lit,tie
mercy will be shown the merchant who
lias been selling goods on which he
was making a profit, greater than nor?
ninl. It is also intimated that severe
sentences will lie given those convict
ed in the courts.
The semi-annual debate on the ques
tion of reading the hible in the schools
of Atlanta has broken out again. There
is one faction who advocates it per
sistently and at regular intervals,
while another set of city builders op
pise it just as regularly. This time
the board of educations wants it set
tled for all time and declare that they
are tired of the agitation. Therefore,
they have ordered a public hearing for
the near future and propose to “Hire a
Hall”.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that the may
or ami council at its last, sitting, pass
ed an ordinance requiring that all
children must be vaccinated before en
tering Winder Public Schools. Those
who have been vaccinated within the
last live years are required to furnish
a physician’s ticket. Attend to this
matter before applying for ticket and
avoid delay. This July 22, 1919.

A Traveling Man’s Experience
You may learn something from the
following by W. H. Ireland, a travel
ing salesman of Louisville, Ky. “In the
summer of ISBB I had a severe attack
of cholera morbus. 1 gave the hotel
■porter fifty cents and told ldiu to buy
me a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic
and Diarrhoea Remedy and to take
no substitute. I took a double dose of
it. according to the directions and went
to sleep. At live o’clock the next
morning I was called by my order and
took a train for my next stopping
place, a well man.”

An Old Fault Finder
An irritable and fault finding dis
position is often caused by indigestion.
A man with good digestion and bowels
that act regularly is usually good na
tured. When troubled with indigestion
or constipation take Chamberlain's
Tablets. They strengthen the stomach
and enables it to perform its functions
naturally. They also cause a gentle
movement of the bowels.

HEALTH DAY
The State legislators in California
ire going to create u new State hol
iday. and the name of that holiday Is
Health Day.
In the tight for the bill to get the
toliday, the physician who is chair
man of the executive committee says:
“Most holidays are dedicated to the
lead past; lieu It li is the most vital
question of the living, and Health Day
will he dedicated to the living present."
Health Day is going to be celebrated
by a holiday devoted to all forms of
healthful recreation.
There'll lie Du 11 games, and golf
games, and swimming mutches, and
running races, and wrestling bouts —
,here'll be picnics and hiking parties
and motor parties, and there will be
lectures on all sorts of hygienic sub
jects in the evening.
Fei pie will get together in neigh
borhoods and discuss the problem of
the garbage barrel and what, to do
about rubbish fires. Dentists will give
talks on the care of ttie teeth. Doc
tors will deliver lectures on diet. etc.
And all the time everybody will be
well and happy as it is to lie rich and
miserable.
Hurrah for California! They’re al
ways getting some good, sensible idea
out there and acting as if it was quite
a matter of course to lie reasonable.
Illness Out of Fashion
Health Day—it's a sign of the times,
if ever there was one.
My grandmother told my mother
once that she must not act so lively.
If she did people would think that
she always felt well, and it was vul
gar to lie too strong and healthy.
1 know she did because my mother
told me about it.
My grandmother was a fine, strong
woman with a good constitution and
energy enough for twenty ordinary
people—she died at 50 right in the
prime of lib* and vigor because she
thought it was wicked to take too much
care of a poor, weak body that was
nothing but flesh, anyhow, and was
prone to sin and self-indulgence.
My great-graiulmother wore a cap
and a shoulder shawl when she was
.‘SO years old. And from the stories
I've heard of her I don’t believe she
had a tooth in tier head when she was
■fit
Most women didn’t in that, day and
generation.
They married at 17 and died at 40,
and were considered nice, comfortable
eld ladies at 35.
All because they made up tlielr minds
that that, was what they ought to be.
When I was a girl there wasn't a
day in school but some girl was ex
cused from algebra or from ancient
history or something because she had
n headache. I haven’t seen a girl with
a headache for twenty years—bead
aches have gone out <>f the fashion.
What’s become of the backache?
Everybody used to have that. No one
has it now. or if they do have it they
make a secret of it.
ltow long is it since you've seen a
woman faint? They used t,o carry
them out from church every Sunday
morning regularly as the boll rang for
Sunday school.
Celebrate Every Day
We’re younger and better looking
and healthier and happier today than
our grandmothers ever dared to hope
to he or even t,o let any one see that
they were, for it was decidedly bad
form to be healthy and gay after 25,
when Grant was before Richmond and
when hoop skirts and tight corsets
were in fashion.
1 think we moderns have decidedly
tlm best, of the bargain, don’t you?
If 1 had my choice of three wishes,
like the heroine in the old-fashioned
fairy tales. I think I would choose, lie
fore beauty or brains, or money or
genius—health, dust good, joyous,
abundant, high-spirited, merry-hearted
health.
I'd rather be healthy than beautiful,
and there's no mystery about that
preference, because no one who is in
firm in health can be beautiful very
long.
Money? Where's the money coined
that will give you a light heart when
you're bothered with indigestion?
Genius? Who wants to la* a genius
with the liver eomplaint?
Come on. let's nil join bands and
celebrate Health Day every day. Let's
make it a misdemeanor to be one bit
less full of joyous health than we
could be if we had sense enough to
take care of ourselves. —Winifred It lack

WASHINGTON
WEEKLY CHAT
By Robert 11. Kdson.
Congress is all at sea and both
Houses ure in the same boat. The
voyage is an unexpected one and the
destination is uncertain. There lias
never l>een anything like it before.
And it lias happened suddenly by the
regular schedule being knocked into
a cocked iiat; in fact, it is as if a
volcano that has been smoldering for
months under the Capitol dome, bus
quickly belched forth and sent every
thing scattering. Wilson's letter to
the House asking it to forego its re
cess, was the first quake that was felt.
Bight, on top of that came the ava
lanche of proteste against the steadily
rising prices for food. Another big
shock was the railroad problem, pro
posed strike for increase of wages, etc.
Tilings were happening so fast and
furious that members began to more
than sit up and take notice. They
held fast, to their seats and began to
wonder “What’s coming next?” In
tlie Senate tlie Peace Treaty held no
interest. It suddenly became a mat
ter that was too far away from base.
The home fires needed quenching. Hur
ry calls were made for conferences.
Clerks and pages began to scout
around and gather in absent members.
The telegraph And telephone lines be
gan to hum as not for a long time.
The old Capitol appeared like an aut
hive must look when someone on top
of the earth places bis foot on tlie en
trance bole. Congress is awake at
last. It is bearing the voice of the
people, but not with its ear to the
ground. Instead, the voice is so loud
that it sounds as if it was coming thru
a megaphone. Recess in the House
lias been forgotten. Democrats and
Republicans are hurrying to revise
their programs. Keep your eyes on
Congress now if you want a pretty
view of fireworks and to see some real
good come from them for the benefit
of a burdened people.
The Mondell Bill for farm lands for
soldiers, which follows the lines recom
mended by Secretary Lane, has made
good headway in tlie House and is
sure of passage when it comes to a
vote. If carries a sum of $300,000,000
as working capital. One amendment
has been made providing that no con
scientious objector can become a ben
eficiary, and that soldiers are to lie
in connection with the development
of flic various colonizing projects.
Soldiers will find the plan to their
liking. It will open the way to work
and to homes on land that can he
cheaply acquired; it provides for the
development of large tracts of land
now held by private owners and pro
vides temporary employment, for large
numbers of discharged soldiers and
sailors while the land projects are be
ing developed.
Citizens of Washington have a vote
at last. An enterprising newspaper
lias opened polls to determine the sen
timent in the National Capital regard
ing the league of nations. Polling
places have been established in clubs,
hotels, and office buildings. Votes are
also accepted by mail. Out of a grand
total of 1.945 votes, covering several
days, tin 1 results were: For the league
witli reservations. 557: for the league
without reservations, 410; against the
league, 578.
New work for the Weather Bureau!
The Secretary of Agriculture has ap
proved the activity that has been ad
ded to the work of this branch of his
department. It is known as the High
way Weather Service. It will have
to do with the making of reports oil
the condition of roads from day to
day, as well as probabilities of sun
shine or storm along them.
Tried out with success in a few
States, the service is to be operated
throughout the country on lines sim
ilar to forecasting weather. Road in
formation and weather prediction will
lie given on the same card. This means
that an nutomohilist can consult the
Weather Bureau card, or call up a lo
cal branch, and find out what kind of
“going” is ahead of him on his intend
ed routes, or he can get that informa
tion in tlie post office of the villiuges
on route, where the cards for the day
are always on view. So far twelve
States and tin* District of Columbia
have applied for the main roads and
had season service.
The Government clerks in Washing
ton are always wanting something it
seems. All in till they have things
“pretty soft" as it were, but never
theless they are always crying out for
more. They have 30 days annual leave
from their duties each year. 30 days
siek leave, convenient working hours,
lots of other holidays from time to
time, and pretty good pay. most of
them, but the truth is that they are
liked spoiled children. All through
the summer they have been released
from work at. I o'clock. Now they want
to get away from work at 1 o'clock
on every Saturday the year round. It
is a good thing that the Government
does not run its affairs like a private
corporation or business or else it
would have to go out of business lie
cause of too many clerks, short hours,
and general leniency all around.
