DIRT AND FILTH By Betsy Doolittle. Dear Readers: I wrote for a little monthly home paper published in Winder a few years ago, a series of letters on Cleanliness. I am giving these letters with more to follow to The Barrow •Times for publication, thinking it might be of some benefit to it’s many readers, and cause them to think more along this important matter and practice cleanliness more and teach it to the children, to their cooks and to themselves. If you think you are clean and practice none of the filthy habits about which I shall write from month to month,it will benefit you any way to read what I have to say on this particular line, and if you are honest will Yourself you may find out you are guilty of many of the things you would con sider filthy in others. I have wondered and wondered why this important matter has not been thought of more and taught more. “You must eat your peck of dirt” seems to he accepted as a matter of fact, and we proceed to do it and double the prescription. Most of us have peculiar and antediluvian noti°ns and concep tions of what constitutes cleanli nes. Indeed, we know very little about it, think very little about it in detail, and are extremely filthy in many ways without really be ing Aware of the fact. The most important work of the present time is to tell the people of the many things they do daily that are unclean and filtby.so they may learn better. Dirty people cannot be clean . socially, morally nor spiritually. Dirt and filth tend to dwarf us mentally, impede our intellectual development and cause the animal part of our being to dominate and enslave the mental, moral and spiritual forces. Very few of us are clean, if you „ will pardon this broad statement, and the reason for this is, we are ignorant, having never been taught cleanliness. You, and the world generally, need schooling, and then if you just want to he filthy,why, the old adage Where ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be The Indian Cashew Tree. Besides the nuts used in confection ery the Indian cashew tree yields an insect-repelling gum, a juice that makes indelible ink. and three kinds of oil, one edible, the others used to tan fishing nets and preserve wood. Drink Buttermilk Freely. The use of buttermilk Is largely a matter of habit. Southern cities con sume almost as much buttermilk as sweet milk. The difficulty of keeping milk sweet has been largely responsi ble for the popularity of buttermilk as beverage. JclgljP' Retailers and consumers are not required to lljggSi pay any U. S.

CALLED HER FAMILY TO HER BEDSIDE Six Tears Ago, Thinking She Might Die, Says Texas Lady, But Now She Is a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardui For Her Recovery. Royse City, Tex. —Mrs. Mary Kll man, of this place, says; “After the birth of my little girl...my side com menced to hurt me. I had to go back to bed. We called the doctor. He treated me...but I got no better. I got worse and worse until the misery was unbearable..-.I was in bed for three months and suffered such agony that I was just drawn up In a knot... I told my husband if he would get me a bottle of Cardui I would try it... I commenced taking it, however, that evening I called my family about me... for I knew I could not last many days unless I had a change tor and tell you things that will help all of you who would like to be clean, mentally, socially and mor ally.

I had only taken half tha bottle when I began to feel better. The misery in my side got less... 1 continued right on taking the Cardui until I had taken three bottles and I did not need any more for I was well and never felt better in my life... I have never had any trouble from that day to this.” Do you suffer from headache, back ache, pains in sides, or other discom forts, each month? Or do you feel weak, nervous and fagged-out?

New York.—lt became known that the net of justice that is rap idly closing in upon the anarch ists who have within the last few days flooded the mails with death bombs, in a wholesale effort to as sasinate more than a score of A merica’s most prominent men, will be opend up in Georgia and the culprits, when caught will be first amenable to the state laws of that commonwealth under the old Sax on statue of mayhem, which pro vides a life or death penalty for depriving a person of his or her member. This theory as to the trial of the anarchists when caught was advanced to me by one of New York’s most prominent lawyers who is thoroughly familiar with the old Georgia statute that may bring the anarchists to trial in Atkrnta rather than in the feder al courts of New York. Poisoned Chocolate Case. The celebrated case of the pois oned chocolates that were sent from Los Angles to New York is cited as an example, too. In that ease the supreme court held that the state of New York had first call upon the defendants in that the damage to corpus incurred by the offense was inflicted in New York and thus transcended the federal offense, in severity of pos sible punishment, of transmitting poison through the mails for the purpose of causing death. Only Ones Injured. The only persons in all the na tion-wide scheme to kill who were actually injured by the bombs, were the servant of ex-Senator Hardwick of Atlanta, who lost both hands in the explosion, and Mrs. Hardwick, who was slightly wounded. The loss of the members of the servant by the explosion consti ' I li’ • Jr ?/ Paint Improves Property Value Systematic painting makes your prop erty more desirable —to you or the buyer.

The tests were car ried out on a field of oats, and the elec trified area of one acre gave an in creased yield of 873 pounds of grain, or 49 per cent, over the two half acres unelectrified, while the straw yielded un increase of SS per cent.
