TIIE CLEAN SKIN
CIVILIZATION Is a matter of baths.
At every period of history, where
a nation became civilized nnd Intel
lectual and superior In refinement and
culture to Its neighbors, It will be
found that the bath was considered an
Important part of each day's regime.
W have railroads and wireless and
other marvelous Inventions but the
tiled bathroom with Its running hot
and cold water la one of the superior
products of modern Ingenuity.
Never omit the dally bath tf you
can avoid It And. If poselNa, have a
shower In your bathroom. If the
house yon are planning to bnlld Is too
small to allow space for the large tub
you prefer —build In a shower bath,
which costs less to Install and takos
up a quarter of the room. Shower
baths are really the only clean sort to

take —for In a tub, you bathe In your
own dirty water, nnd you cnn use only
ii small quantity of that, owing to the
limitations of the tub. At least finish
your bath with a shower. Rubber
pipes with spray nozzles can be pur
chased cheaply enough and attached
to the bathroom fnucets.
Scrub your skin all over with a flesh
brush; the pleasant friction of the
bristles brings the blood to the surface
of the skin and open the pores, elim
inating the dirt. With a flesh brush
you can reach that ixirt between the
shoulder blades. Otherwise you are
apt to neglect the skin there, and un
pleasant blackheads result, spoiling
your entire appearance when In decol

Last Night’s Dreams
—What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM ABOUT THE
OCEAN?
TO LOOK upon a calm, unruffled
sen of dreams is accounted a most
favorable omen and should a business
man embark in a dream-ship and go
sailing over the placid ocean lie will
sail to the port of prosperity. In fact,
there is no maritime venture which is
warranted to result in such munificent
returns as a cruise in a well-found
dream-ship over a tranquil sea of
slumber, if the mystics are to bo be
lieved. They stand ready to Insure
your phantom ship and cargo even if
Lloyd's will not.
For lovers to entbnrk In one of these
ships of dreams and be wafted over
the shining waves indicates for them
an Increase In affection, marriage, con
nublnl bliss, children and good fortune.
Merely to stand on shore and gaze
out over a sen of dreams Is, If the sea
Is calm, an omen of good luck, an in
dication of prosperity. And any dream
of the sea denotes that you will short
l.v make a pleasant Journey.
If, through your dreams, you hear
the moaning of an nngry sen upon the
shore It Is a sign that your life Is lone
ly through your own fault—you are
too much aloof from your kind. If
from the shore you gaze out upon an
angry dream-sea the wise men say
your enemies are talking about you—
which is a way one’s enemies have
anyway, so it doesn’t matter. To
dream of sailing over a stormy sea is
not a favorable omen, and if you are
in danger of shipwreck your agents
will try to cheat you and your debtors
refuse to pay up. Should you happen
to be in Jail, however, the shipwreck
of your dream-boat Is a most aus
picious thing—it indicates that you
wifi speedily be released.
Corsets Used to Hide Defects.
It is a fact well authenticated that
corsets were originally adopted, not
for comfort or health, but to cohceal
physical defects.
THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“BOCHE."
LIKE “camouflage," the term
"boche" as applied to the
German soldier during the World
wur, had Its origin In the slang
of the Parisian army where It
has been used for years, though
It has not slipped Into the dic
tionary of the French academy.
According to M. Maurice Don
nay, the Parisian playwright,
“the word boche Is not a creation
of the war, for, in French slang,
It Is a frequent occurrence to
substitute 'boche' or ‘oche’ for
the final syllable of a word, thus
treating the original term In a
manner which signifies contempt
or disrespect. Taking the French
word for German, Alleraand,
dropping the last syllable and
substituting ‘boche.’ we get
•Alleboche.’ later shortened to
•boche’ —or ‘contemptible Ger
man.’ ”
The fact that this term annoy
ed the former kaiser Is apparent
from his protest, early in 1918,
against the "detestable word
boche” and his satisfaction over
the report that its use was be
coming more Infrequent In
France. But, with “Hun,” the
word will probably remain—one
of the landmarks of lnnguuge
growing out of the war.

STATE TREASURY RAID'
TO |f PEOPLE
Facts of Vital Interest to
Everybody in Georgia
Bonded Debt of State And
Counties May Exceed
$150,000,000.00
The Constitution of Georgia imposes
restrictions on the debt creating au
thority of the State, its counties and
municipalities. These restrictions
were decreed for the protection of the
property owner, the wage earner and
the farmer, against the plausible
schemer whose smooth words and half
truths might cajole the public into
lending the public credit to disastrous
ventures. In their wisdom the
framers of the Constitution knew
that public administration of private
business was never successful. There
fore tlv;y wrote into the Constitution
a restriction that the State might not
issue bonds except for state purposes;
that cities and towns and counties
should not exceed what they fixed as
safe limits in incurring debt; and
when bonds were issued such a per
centage of voters should authorize
them as would without any doubt dis
close the sentiment of the people.
Not Equaled By Carpet-Baggers
Now, to help the Municipal League
of Georgia, raid the Treasury of the
State, all of these restrictions must be
swept aside and Georgia and its towns
and counties must plunge into unre
strained and unrestricted bond issues,
amounting to hundreds of millions of
dollars. The total amount of the
bonds authorized by the negro legisla
tures in reconstruction days was but a
bagatelle when compared with this
proposed raid on the Treasury of the
State, and the arguments put forth at
that time in favor of these bonds were
no less plausible than are now ad
vanced by the gentleman who writes
the literature of the Municipal League
of Georgia.
It is of no concern to the promoters
of this project that in order to protect
the people of Georgia from being
multeed by this bond issuing process,
many of the issues of Reconstruction
Days were repudiated and are still
unpaid.
The total bonded debt of Georgia is
now $5,818,202.00. If these bills be
came laws the bonded debt of the State
and its counties and towns would soon
be over $150,000,000.00.
The interest on this debt would be
not less than $7,500,000.00 every year.
Huge Taxes To Benefit Cities
Only people living in the larger
cities avd towns would get either serv
ice or reduced rates, but every home,
every farm, every business man and
every wage earner must pay the in
terest and any deficit in operations.
Is it fair to the farmer that his
property and his earnings should be
mortgaged to enable the residents of
the larger cities to ride on street cars
at less than the rides cost?
Is it fair to the farmer that his
home should be mortgaged to provide
electric lights in the brilliant homes of
the dwellers in large cities?
Is it fair to the people who live out
side the larger cities that they should
be taxed to provide gas at less than
cost to cook the food of the fashiona
ble folk living in the cities?
This is exactly what these bills will
result in if they become laws.
NOW—THE USER PAYS THE
COST.
