Needed Assistance.
A poor old cast down hobo started
to knock the paint off of a back door
the other morning, and when he tear
fully told the lady who appeared that
he had a sick wife at home and a
dozen hungry kids, she gave him a
couple of home-made biscuits. Daintily
the hobo handled them, and one*
more he glanced up wistfully.
"What's the matter,” indignantly
demanded the housewife, "aren’t you
satisfied with the biscuits?"
“Yes,, dear lady.’’ replied the tramp
ful one, “but I thought perhaps you
would be so kind as to loan me a nut
cracker for a few minutes.”
A Prime Cause of 111 Health.
A famous physician on being asked
recently what is the chief cause of ill
health, replied: “Thinking and talk
ing about it all the time. This sense
less introspection in which so many
of the rising generation of the nerv
ous folk indulge is certainly wearing
them out. When they are not worry
ing as to whether they sleep too much
or too little, they are fidgeting over
the amount of food they take or the
quantity of exercise necessary for
health. In short, they never give’
themselves a moment's peace.”
Old Houses.
Old houses have a far larger com
mercial value than their owners al
ways remember. Milton’s well-known
observation in his “Areopagitiea,” "Al
most as well kill a man as a good book,”
applies not a little to a good old
building, which is not only a book but
a unique manuscript that has no fel
low. —Address by Thomas Hardy.
There’s the Rub.
"Well,” said the optimistic boarder,
"there’s one thing about our boarding
house: you can eat as much as you
like there.”
"Of course; same as ours,” replied
one, “you can eat as
much as you like, but there's never
anything you could possibly like.”
Stupid Man.
"My husband has no idea of the
value of money.”
“Why, I thought he was a careful
business man.”
“He thinks so, too. But he abso
lutely doesn’t realize what a lovely
hat I can buy for $48.99.”

COUCHS and COLDS
(l eorgia News
Macon.—Since the appearance of A.
B. Leach, large financier for me Cen
tral Georgia Power company here on
final inspection of the plant in Butts
county before the wheels are set run
ning, it has developed that this man
of means and his associates who have
their fortunes in the power plant,
are only waiting for it to prove a suc
cess before they start work on the
interurban railway line from Macon
to Atlanta.
Washington, D. C. —Laurens county
displaces Burke as the banner cotton
producing county of Georgia, accord
ing to the figures made public by the
bureau of the census of cotton ginned
to December 31. Usually about 95 per
cent, of the crop is ginned up to this
date. The crop of the entire state
was 60,000 bales short of last year,
1,706,816 bales having been ginned
to December 31, 1910. Laurens is
credited with 37,233 bales and Burke
with 34,495. A year ago Burke ginned
38,758 and Laurnes 38.184. The yield
of both counties fell off in the past
crop year. Twelve counties raised
upward of 25,000 bales the past sea
son and seven of these raised more
than 30,000 each. They were: Laur
ens, 37,233; Burke, 35,495; Jackson,
34,932; Meriwether, 32,288; Carroll,
30,590; Coweta. 30,551; Walton, 30,-
065; Terrell, 27,023; Bulloch, 26.598;
Dooly, 26,416; Sumter, 25,754; Eman
uel, 25,079.
Swainsboro.—For the first time in
a number of years, Emanuel county
jail is practically empty, only one
prisoner remaining, and he is a man
convicted and sentenced to the peni
tentiary, being still in jail pending a
motion for a new trial.
Griffin. —J. W. Gresham and the
city council are not satisfied that Grif
fin’s population is only 7,478, as was
announced by the census department.
The population of Griffin in 1890 was
6,857 and the increase is only 621, or
9.05 per cent. It was stated by mem
bers of council that more than 621
houses were erected in Griffin during
the past decade and council will at
an early date send Hon. W. E. H.
Searcy, Jr., city attorney, to Washing
ton to aigue for a recount.
Valdosta.—The people of Valdosta
are up in arms over the census figures
for this city which were announced
from Washington, and it is probable
that some public action looking to the
filing of a protest and a request for
a new count may be made. The last
city directory, the business of the
postoffice, the telephone company,
the hanks and everything that goes to
indicate the population of a city shows
that Valdosta has received a sorry
deal in the recent census.
Americus. —The Americus board of
trade in a telegraphic communication
to Congressman Dudley Hughes makes
emphatic protest regarding the cen
sus of Americus recently announced.
The census enumerators here assert
that the figures announced are short
of the count made here, and this state
ment is verified by the enumerators
employed by the hoard of trade who
followed the federal enumerators day
after day in their work and secured
practically the same results that were
stated at the time. The board of
trade enumerators returned 8,555
names of bona fide residents of Amer
icus and the board of trade now has
the names and addresses of each and
every one as proof.
Gaiensville.—A movement is on foot
to retake Gainesville’s census, only
citizens to enter the project. It is
claimed that the government's census
did the city an injustice and that
scores of citizens were overlooked.
It is also rumored that the two cot
ton factory villages only a mile dis
tant will be included in the next cen
sus and all in all will give Gaines
ville a population of possibly 10,000.
At the census bureau estimates it is
now only 5,925.
VVaycross.—A net profit of $241.80
on a half acre planted in cabbage
is the record A. T. Sweat, Ware’s
new surveyor, has made at his Glen
more farm. His success has caused
him to plan for a larger acreage, and
he says he can beat his own record
So far as is known this is the best
record any farmer has made for such
a small acreage in cabbage in this
section.
Rochelle. —Oscar Banks of this
place returned recently from a visit
to W. M. Martin at Norman Park, Ga.
He brought with him a turnip which
weighed four and three-fourth pounds
and measured 18 inches in circumfer
ence. Mr. Martin is an old Wilcox
county farmer, who moved to Norman
Park about a year ago, and if tne Bal
ance of his crop is on an average with
his turnips, he is doing well,
i Lawrenceville. —W. A. Cooper of
Grayson, gave the biggest corn shuck
ing ever held in Bay Creek district.
.Thirty-seven hands shucked out 450
bushels of corn and stowed it away m
the barn.
Blackshear.—George „ W. Lyona
brought a stalk of sugar cane, the red
ivariety, to Blackshear that was a
freak and had 52 joints. From the
old stalk several shoots had put out
and were fully matured.
Resaea. —A fire in toe woods near
the home of B. W. Wright near here
reached some decayed logs and
stumps and a bombshell that had been
imbeddedd in one of the old trees
since the war exploded, scattering
debris for some distance around. Mr.
Wright has part of the old shell he is
keeping as a memento.
MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW
Conditions Are Only Different, No
Matter What Sentimental
Writers May Assert.
The "popular” writer who bewails
what he assumes to be the fact that
the "old-fashioned” mother Is no more
Is liable to defeat his own purpose if
that be Inculcating in children the
highest possible regard for their pa
rents. It Is a danger which even the
quantitative theory of literature or
space rates cannot justify.
The mother of the past, of course,
■was different from the mother of the
present, as different on the whole as
the conditions of life then and now,
but since her daughter Is the mother
of the present there must he some
points of similarity. All the good In
our mothers and grandmothers cer
tainly could not have vanished. It
will be paying scant tribute to those
dear, good women who have laid down
their precepts and examples and
passed on to say so. And. of course,
this writer does not mean to do that,
yet he comes very near doing what he
does not intend.
The fallacy of the whole sentimen
tal notjon that because things and
people are not like they used to be
they are not as good, lies In the pat
ent fact that they cannot be alike, and
if they were it would simply be be
cause of the present generation being
so much inferior to the past that it
was unable to do no more than stand
still.
SKIN TORTURED BABIES
SLEEP AND MOTHERS REST
A warm bath with Cuticura Soap,
followed by a gentle aneintlng with
Cuticura ointment. Is generally suffi
cient to afford immediate comfort in
the most distressing forms of itching,
burning and scaly eczemas, rashes, ir
ritations and Inflammations of in
fants and children, permit sleep for
child and rest for parent, and point to
permanent relief, when other methods
fall. Peace falls upon distracted
households when these pure. sweet

treatment costs so little and does so
much for skin sufferers, from infancy
to age. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.

A Lesson for Diplomats.
Elihu Root, at the luncheon in
Providence preceding the dedication
of the John Hay Memorial library at
Brown university, said of John Hay;
“His diplomacy was gracious, and
it was prudent as well. I remember
in an argument about a certain inter
national complication, how very
warmly and aptly he once insisted on
prudence.
, “It was the Christmas season, and
he said that we might learn a lesson
from a little girl who was naughty in
the early part of December.
“ ‘Dear me,’ her mother said, ’if
you're going to be naughty I’m very
much afraid Santa Claus won’t bring
you any presents.’
“The little girl frowned.
“ ‘Well,’ she whispered, ‘you needn’t
say it so near the chimney.' ”
Children's Food.
Certain little suggestions are always
to be followed when planning Ihe diet
of the little ones. To keep healthy
little stomachs in the nursery never
serve hot stewed fruit to the children.
Plenty of stewed fruit and baked ap
ples they should eat, but they must
Invariably be cooked the day before
and dished up cold. The nursery po
tatoes should always be baked or
boiled In their jackets. Stewed and
fried potatoes or potatoes boiled with
out their skins supply starch, with a
loss of all the wholesome potash salts
that the skin gives out during the
process of cooking into the white part
of the vegetable.
A Deadly Error.
Dr. W. B. Cannon of Harvard, dis
cussing anti-vivisection literature at a
dinner in New York, said with a
smile:
“T-his literature, in part, at least, is
as flagrantly erroneous as the medical
department conducted by a young col
lege girl in a weekly paper. A sam
ple reply in this department ran:
“ ‘Bereaved.—The reply given last
week was a mistake, it should have
been ten drops of laudanum, not ten
cups of laudanum. Yes, we advocate
cremation rather than the old-fash
ioned burial.’ ’’
Remarkable Dental Freak.
An unusual case is reported from
Parkes, N. S. W., where a young wom
an some time ago had 17 teeth ex
tracted which were causing her trou
ble. Before the gums had sufficiently
healed to permit of artificial teeth be
ing fitted, new teeth began to make
their appearance, and every one of the
17 has now been replaced in this man
ner.

Mr. Fitz—Doctor, I’m subject to vio

that I survive them.
Doctor—You sort of wonder at the
survival of the fittest, eh?
The Shadow of Science.
It is hard to believe that a shadow
is probably the origin of all astronom
ical, geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear in
the sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. It is
from the shadow of a gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
of the year. It Is from the shadow of
a gnomon that the inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours of
work for a water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is a ihurra stalk support
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south. East and west are pegs
in the ground, evenly marking the
space of earth between sunrise and
sunset. In a land of constant sun
shine a shadow was the primitive
chronometer. It was also the primi
tive foot rule.
| Just Shopping.
A fashionably dressed young wom
an entered the post office In a large
western city, hesitated a moment, and
stepped up to the stamp window. The
stamp clerk looked up expectantly,
and she asked: "Do you sell stamps
here?"
The clerk answered politely, “Yes.”
“I would like to see some, please,”
was the unusual request.
The clerk dazedly handed out a
large sheet of the two-cent variety,
which they young woman carefully ex
amined. Pointing to one near the cen
ter, she said, “I will take this one,
please.”—Everybody’s.
Hand Beats Machine.
Cigars are still made by hand, no
machine having yet been invented that
will roll them so nicely and evenly
as do deft human fingers. The cheap
est cigars—the three-for-five variety—
are made of French, Kentucky, Alge
rian or Hungarian leaves. At the other
extreme are the cigars smoked by the
czar of Russia, which are of the choic
est and best matured Havana, and
which cost $1.50 each.
Cat’s Tigerish Nature.
A shocking affair In which a domes
tic cat displayed tigerish qualities oc
curred at Ayr recently. \A woman
named Mrs. John Scott had occasion
to go on a message and left a child,
six weeks old, in the house. On her
return she was horrified to discover
that the cat had eaten the small fin
ger of the child's left hand, and had
commenced on the next finger.

TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS
Moral That Writer Has Drawn Is
Not Without Some Points of
Worthiness.
Miss Venus Is a lovely girl; not
one time has she muttered; against
her pale. Illumined life not one word
has she uttered. J.ust think, she’s
been without her arms for many dusty
rfges, and yet she never drops the
brine or rants in hopeless rages. She
has to stand a butich of guff from art
bugs down to draymen, and yet she
never once comes back and grills the
heathen layman. When some low
brow of brutal mien starts merrily to
panning and says her face is worse
than wood and that her hair needs
canning, or that he has a waitress
friend who jerks a coffee jigger could
give her many, many leagues and heat
her out on figger, she never even
looks at him, that rank untutored sin
ner, but holds her tongue and pedes
tal, O, Venus Is a winner. She's on
the job both day and night, she hears
man knock or flatter and women not
of classic mold get madder than a
hatter. She suffers long and quietly
with calm and placid manner; in cold
no mits to reach a quilt, in heat, no
hands to fan her. She is a lesson in
herself—a fruit for daily picking. Just
spare the world your trouble tales and
scratch the useless kicking.—G. S., in

That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex- ißßa||

THE MALARIA MONSTER
If the mosquito were as big as it is bur' it would darken
the air like a gigantic death-breathing dragon. Each sting
of a mosquito sows the germs of malaria. These germs
multiply with wonderful rapidity. Then come chills and
fever with other forms of malaria that undermine the health
and sap the strength.
OXIDINE
—a bottle proves.
It is the modem malaria medicine and the one sure
antidote for malaria poisoning. It kills the chills. It
quenches the fever fires. It stamps out the cause and
consequences of the disease. That’s only the beginning of
helpful healing work of OXIDINE. It builds up the body,
revitalizes the system, enriches the blood, tones up the
stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys. OXIDINE puts the
body on a fighting footing of superb health.
The tonic qualities of OXIDINE make it the best
medicine for all weak, run down, thin, pale persons. It is
the best body-building tonic money can buy.
