801 l Weevil Molasses
r •
After having been solicited by the business men of
Jefferson and a large number of the farmers in this
section to handle Blackstrap Molasses for use in boll
weevil poisoning, and having one sixteen thousand
gallon storage tank not in service, I have decided to
handle the molasses in tank car lots, keeping on hand
a large supply at all times, giving the public the bene
fit of tank car prices, which is much cheaper than bar
rel prices.
The stock has been carefully selected foe. use of
boll weevil poisoning, and guaranteed to contain
over fifty per cent combined sugar.
First shipment will be made about February 25th,
and from that time on throughout the season I can
supply your requirements from five gallons to five
thousand*gallons. For further information, see me at
the Texas Cos. Warehouse, Jefferson, Ga., 01 Mi.

known citizen of Newburg,

dies has been Black-Draught,
the old reliable. . . I use it
for colds, biliousness, sour
stomach and indigestion. I
was subject to headaches
when my liver would get out
of order. I would have
blinding headaches and
couldn’t stoop about my work,
just couldn’t go. I used
Thedford’s
BUCK-DRAUGHT
and it relieved ms.
“About eight years ago my
wife got down with liver and
stomach trouble. .. We tried
all week to help her,. . . but
she didn’t get any better.
One day I said to the doctor,
‘I believe I will try Black-
Draught, it helps my liver.’
He said that I might try it
and to follow directions.
She was nauseated and
couldn’t eat or rest. She be
gan taking Black-Draught
and in two day she was
greatly Improved and in a
week she was up.”

Women Smokers In Evi
dence Everywhere At
Fashionable Winter
Resorts In Florida
Palm Beach, Fla.—What is the
prevailing feminine mode in Florida
this winter? Unquestionably, it is
the cigarette. Women smokers have
long ceased to be a novelty, but the
extent to which they are carrying
the practice these days, while in no
sense alarming to the modernist, nev
ertheless is quite intriguing. The
fashionable woman in Florida this
winter is prepared to take puff for
puff with her masculine escort at any
time and any place. '
In this respect, Florida’s fashion
able places are making New York
look provincial. In the gay metrop
olis, the cops still have orders to ar
rest any person in skirts caught
smoking on the streets. Down here
in the go-as-you-please summer time
atmosphere of southern Florida, it
is, a case of smoke as you please,
and the ladies all seem to please.
Morning, Noon And Night
Madame and Madamoiselle, smoke
morning, noon and night. Not so
long ago it was considered an affecta
tion, if not a downright confession
of nicotine slavery for a man to car
ry cigarettes with him om the bathing
beach. This season the women are
doing it, too, and it’s useless to say
they do not look attractive in their
bathing costumes, under Japanese
parasols, with light blue smoke
wreaths rising all about them.
The smoking is done on the private
beaches and the public beaches with
equai sangfroid. It is not a custom
peculiar to Palm Beach and its ultra
set. It is equally the vogue at Miami
Beach and at every other fashionable
resort along the east coast.
The beach bathers who seldom go
near the" surf, carry,their perfumed
and gold tipped cigarettes to the
beach in gold cases. The swimmers
take along their “fags” in the orig
ihal packages and also carry their
own matches.
There is always a last “drag” just
before dashing into the waves. And
wet and salty fingers clutch for a
new “smoke” the moment the fair
bathers are clear of the water.
In the Palm Beach rolling chairs,
with their Ethiopian motive power,
on the hotel verandas, on the fishing
pier, in hotel lobbies, on the ever
glades links, on the lake walk, on
house boat decks, wherever, in fact,
two or three women may be gather
ed together, it has come to be the ex-i
ception to see them without cigar
ettes. Even in the hotel ballrooms,
the female of the species and the
“fag” are apparently inseparable.
At Miami Beach the weed equally
is in evidence. One encounters it
delicately poised from feminine lips
at the Polo matches,*at the bathers’
dining balcony overlooking the Ro
man pools, at the dog races, on the
•golf courses, and at the exclusive
dining and dancing clubs.
It hafe bgcome perfectly evident
that the use of the cigarette stead
ily is growing among women and the
needs of the feminine tobacco enthu
siast soon must be reckoned with.
Already in New York the newer
theaters have taken the custom into
consideration and the lounge or smok
ing rooms are open now to both sex
es. The result is that almost as ma
ny women as men leave their seats
between the acts to take a soothing
smoke.
Women’s Smoking Rooms
Women travelers to Florida are
complaining of the lack of smoking
accommodations for women on board
the limited trains—not only those
that are made up for Florida travel,
but all the others that cross the
country. Their principal complaint
is against the Pullman company and
it is evident that before long the
builders of sleeping and parlor cars
I will have to face the demand for
feminine smoking rooms. At present
the women say that only those fortu
nate enough to obtain staterooms
or compartments can smoke in any
sort of comfort. Others have to re
tire to the cramped dressing rooms
which are not conducive either to
i comfort or the full enjoyment of the
I cigarette.
| Men have smoking rooms in each
' sleeper and mo3t of tha better trains
carry club cars—all for the men.
Women have not as yet had the
hardihood to break into the club
cars, but down here one hears
threats of doing so in the very near
future.
Political equality for women also
earries more or less of social equal
ity, it is contended by the feminists,
and the modern woman smoker is
preparing to demand tha smoking
rights and privileges which have
been as exclusively accorded the ma i
as once the ballot was.

Story of a Lightning Struck
Baby
The lightning-struck baby sat in a.
big easy chair in the superinten
dent’s office of the Georgia Baptist
hospital. If you hadn’t known about
George Sweet, you’d probably have
thought that a visitor had left him
there while she called on some
friend among the various patients-
He was certainly very much at home,
very affable; not in the least unap
proachable, as babies and celebrities
are usually supposed to be. He look
ed for all the world just like any
other fifteen-months-old; perhaps, a
little brighter and more intelligent
than most.
Then he kicked a little at the hem
of his crisp white frock, and you saw
bandages instead of pink toes. ,
Last August George and his father
and mother were returning to their
home near Dallas, Ga., after a visit
to relatives. Suddenly, nobody quite
knows how, for it seems to have been
an unwitnessed tragedy, they were
struck by lightning. The father and
mother were killed instantly, and
George was badly burned. School
children were the first to find them.
The baby was brought to the Geor
gia Baptist hospital. •
His case was one to challenge the
skill of doctors and nurses. They
fought for him. Day after day he
was carried to the operating room
and new skin grafted on his body.
One of George’s feet is missing at
the ankle. Several toes were burned
away from the other feet. But
through the marvels of orthopedic
surgery and an artificial foot, George
will soon be able to toddle at very
nearly the same age as the average
child.
Adopted By Hospital
George isn’t classed as a patient,
but as a member of the staff of doc
tors. Patients find a idsit from him
both refreshing and inspiring, for
George faces life with ft smile. He
hasn’t realized his handicap yet, and
perhaps he never will.
Certainly not if the Georgia Bap
tist hospital has its way. They’ve
practjcally adopted him there, and
you may be sure will never consent
to his adoption by any one else, un
less the said someone else proves to
be a very superior person, capable
1 of making up to George for all that
one stroke of lightning took away.
That means an unusual share of
father and mother love, and oppor
tunities. All boys need opportuni
ties along with guidance and care
and counsel, bu£ George will need an
unusual amount of all of these and a
great deal of understanding tender
ness, if his baby smile is to remain
unbroken.
George hasn't any brothers and
sisters.
Of course, the hospital authorities
know that if the lightning had taken.
George’s father and mother, but left
George himself physically whole, they
would have been swamped long be
fore this with requests for his adop
tion. But there’s the little accident
about his feet. It will be hardly
noticeable, of course, as the years
go on, bul—George doesn’t know
that kind-hearted couples of com
fortable means wishing to adopt a
child most always prefer ode who
is—well, just like all other little boys
arid girls.
George doesn’t know, and so he
crows and chuckles and considers
himself the luckiest young man alia*.

Cost of Raising Children
Borne By Country Folk
“The nation’s child crop no less than
the food crops comes mainly from
American farms,” says Dr. C. J-
Galpin, in charge of farm population
studies for the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Of the 30,-
000,000 farm population as compared
with the same number of urban pop
ulation, the number of children un
der 10 years of age on farms is ap
proximately 2,000,000 more than In
the cities, Dr. Galpin points out.
“There are approximately 7,700,-
000 children under 10 years of age
on farms as compared with 5,700,-
000 in cities, having an equivalent
total population,” Dr. Galpin says.
“Thus the burden of supporting and
educating young America falls h*?*v
ily on the farm population. After 10
years of age, the disparity diminish
es gradually until the childen reach
20 years of age, when the figures ba- *
gin to show more people of the pro
ducing age in cities than on farms.
We therefore have the situation
where farmers bear the cost of rais
ing and educating children and then
deliver the finished product to the
city.”
