Which Is It; House or Home
(By Wightman F. Melton.)
“Home is not a place; home is '
folks," says Thomas Whipple Connally
i
“We do not even live at our house" ,
!said the young recluse, Nathinel ,
; Hawthorne.
'
The difference is between the Con- i
! naliys and the Hawthornes. After the *
I death of her husband, Hawthornes
i mother did not even take her meals
!
| with her children.
j We often think the loneliest place in
! all th& world is the old home, after the
j loved ones have died or moved away,
and no one is left to give a word or a
I
kiss of welcome. Such a place, how
ever, is a seventh heaven compared
with the place where an unhannful
: mother allows perpetual loneliness
i
; among her children. A new home, in
la distant and unfamiliar city, or even
in a strange country, is home, if the
<
i right kind of mother, or wife, or sis
\
• ter, or daughter be there, with an eye
! to mark our coming “and look bright-
er when we come."
j !
Possible the most widely known and
I
most popular of the songs of senti- ,
ment is John Howard Payne's “Home,
Sfeet Home." Home has been, is yet,
and will ever be, the most universally
j appealing theme of song and story.
The human heart rebels at the mere
suggestion, “House, Sweet House.”
To be courteous, forbearing, and pa
j tient, away from home, is studied as
1 carefully as a fine art. There are those j
who expect peace and pleasure at
home to come by chance, and without
systematic cultivation. That which
; becomes second nature away from
( home, can become second nature a<
I home. There is no courtesy of social
life that hasn’t a place in the home as
well as elsewhere.
Shyloek Jessica said to Launcellot
Gubbo, “Our house is hell.” Her say
ing it was hell, however, did not nec
essarily make it so. It was not hell to
Shvlcck. The inside of a Sunday
school would be as big a hell to a
1 scoundrel as a bowery dive would be to
a snow-white virgin.
The point is this: Shylock’s house
I was hell to his daughter. She had
1 grown up without a mother —possibly
without remembering her mother. Did
she not give her mother's engagement;
ring in exchange for a monkey? Jes
' sica was reared in a house, not a hom j
Her father was more concerned witi
ducats than with daughter. While he
hoarded his lucate he neglected to
teach his daughter the traditions of
her race; she eloped with a frivolous
gentile, carelessly putting by the
thought of the heinous sin that made
her ashamed to be her father's child. I
The Issac of York and the Rebessa,
of Scott's Ivanhoe, are big improve-'
iments upon Shyloek and Jessica, their
prototypes, but they cannot make us
' forget that Jessica said, "Our house is
hell.” j
Since the chief purpose of all human
endeavor is to gel, or keep, a home,
and be happy is it not worth
I while for of a house
hold to ask himself, or herself, "Is our
house hell! If it is hell, am I the
devil, withal?"
O, the house may pot be stately, and
the windows may be small;
The yard may be quite scanty, with no
fountain there at all;
There may not be a flowered path
front front door to gate;
The place may not be large enough to
call it an “Estate;”
But if within that quiet realm there is
no petty strife,
I Nor any of the taunts and jeers that
crush and cripple life,
, There let me stay forever, nor one
: step farther roam:
i There is no better place on earth than
“Home, Sweet Home."
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER.
Exercises for Your Boy
In the June American Magazine Dr.
Charles K. Taylor of Philadelphia
writes an entertaining and suggestive
article entitled "Your Boy and His
Muscles,” in which he lays out a plan
for the exercises of small boys and ex
plains his suggestions. Folowing are
five of the nine exercises he suggests
and explains:
“Exercise No. I—For breathing:
This can be done with walking in the
street, at any time. With each step
take in a little breath, until, in about
five or six steps, the chest can hold no
more. Retain the air for two or three
steps, and exhale. Repeat say three or
four minutes. Both if these exercises
have rapid effect, and should be stop
ped when the deficiency is made up.
At the same time the child should be
encouraged to develop the regular
hambit of breathing deeply.
“Exercise No. 2.—Back and should
ers. Lie flat on the floor, face down,
with arms stretched out ahead of you,
hands about two feet apart Slowly
lift the hands and head from the floor
as high as possible. Perhaps the upper
part of the chest can be lifted too.
Then as slowly sink down again until
as flat and delaxed as may be. A vari
ation of this exercise which can he
used sometimes is one in which the
arms, instead of being placed ahead,
are placed almost straight out on each
side.
“Exercise No. 3.—For the arms:
j Place the hands before your chest,
| palm to palm, having one one palm
facing the chest and the other facing
outward. Let the inner hand, slowly,
rigidly, push the outer one outward,
the latter resisting with force. 'When
one hand has pushed the other out as
far as possible, then the latter pushes
its oponent in again till the original
position is reached. If the right arm
pushes outward and the left inward,
then the triceps of the right arm and
the biceps of the left are being used
When tired, change positions, so that
the left pushes outward, then the left
triceps and the right biceps are being
used. This is a very powerful exercise
when done slowly, and is quite effec
tive in developing the arms. It should
take about six or eight seconds for the
hands to make a complete motion out
and back.
“Exercise No. 4.—The abdomen: Lie
flat on the back, hands at side, feet
I together. If the abdomen is very flab
by, slowly raise the feet alternately
until the legs are vertical and as slow
ly lower them. If there is enouga
strength, slowly raise both feet at
once, keping the legs perfectly rigid,
until vertical, then slowly lower them.
ieß careful not to push this exercise
I unduly. It takes quite a little energy,
,— d should be stopped at the first sign
O' fatigue. When the abdomen be
rimes quite firm and strong, the exer
! e can be varied by placing the feet
der the edge of a heavvy piece cf
■ f’- miture, slowly lifting the body to a
ertical position.
Exercise No. s—The legs: Stand
v i ll heels together, and through the
“ =»rcise keep the body rigidly vertical.
lowly bend the knees until you are
nearly sitting on the heels. Your
| hands should be on the Lips. Tuen
slowly rise full height and up on your
toes as far as possible, remain so a
moment, then slowly sink all the v,av
down again. Remember, this exercise
is to be done slowly. If you find it
dicult to keep your balance, then have
a chair in front of you and keep a
touch on the top of the chair with one
hand.”
A Chicago professor claims to have
discovered that love is a disease sim
ilar to indigestion. We have known
that all along—the only trouble is
telling ’tother from which.
HON. MARTIN V. CALVIN
Our sister city, Waycross, is to be
congratulated on having Hon. Martin
. V. Calvin as a resident and as secre
tary of the Chamber of Commerce.
In the list of Alumni of Emory Col
lege, Martin V. Calvin's name is to be
■ found in the class of 1862, along with
: the names of twenty-six other students
who were ii) the Confederate .army and
at the front the year they were to
have graduated. (The college con
i ferred their degrees later.) It was at
: the suggestion of Mr. Calvin that the
i president of Emory had a Confederate
'! flag beautifully engraved, and publish
•ed in the catalogue along with the
: names of the members of the class.
While Mr. Calvin wears the Cross of
. Honor he is yet one of the youngest
and most energetic men in the state.
' In the business of publicity agent, he
is in no new T work. For years he has
• been effectively telling the world,
through magazines and newspapers,
, that Georgia is on the map.
Recently Editor Clark Howell, in
' The Constitution, pays Mr. Calvin the
' following deserved compliment.
A Pioneer Publicist
The Constitution congratulates the
Chamber of Commerce of Waycross, Ga.
! upon having enlisted the services of
1 Martin V. Calvin as its secretary.
Mr. Calvin enjoys me unique distinc
tion of being a pioneer in Georgia ia
the matters of organized publicity for
cities. Many years ago, in co-operatioi
, with the late Patrick Walsh, Mr. Cal
i vin conducted a publicity bureau for
; Augusta and the territory contiguous.
, He pitched and maintained that worK
, on a scale that set a precedent for all
i Georgia, and that undoubtedly gave an
i impetus to propaganda of this nature
i in every part of the South,
i Today Mr. Calvin is better equipped
i than ever. No man in Georgia exceeds
, him in command of statistics and acts
I bearing on commercial, agricultural
and industrial Georgia. He is a hard
t worker, enjoys a large acquaintance
t with public men, and should be of in
; valuable service in the development
’ work for which the wiregrass is justly
- famous. No better selection could
I have been made by Waycross.
“ Americus friends extend congratula
: tions to Mr. Calvin in hi 6 chosen field
of work.

COUGH TWO TEARS OLD
i Yields to Yinol —Read Why.
Strong vigorous men and women
, hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
, the system is run down and vitality
■ low that colds and coughs get a foot
hold.
Now isn’t it reasonable that the
• right way to cure a cough is to build
up your run down condition again?
Mis. D. A. McGee, of Waycross, Ga..!
says: "I had a chronic cold and cough :
which kept me awake nights for two
years and I felt tired all the time. 1
, Vinol cured my cough and I feel
stronger in every way.”
| The reason Vinol is so efficacious
1 in such cases is because it contains 1
jin a delicious concentrated form al!
j the medicinal curative elements of
■| cod liver oil, with tonic, blood build
ing iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
■ Vinol because it builds up the weak '
ened, run-down system.
■ You can get your money back any
i time if Vinol does not do all we say.

REVIYED AN ANCIENT CUSTOM
Channel Islander Raised “Cry for Jus
tice” of Norman Times.
London, May 30.—A strange custom,
dating back to Norman times, was re
vived recently in Alwemey.
Daniel Sebire Jurat, justicier-elect
of Alderney, whose lection the royal
court at Guernsey had annulled be
cause he had been sentenced to a tern
of imprisonment some years ago, rais
ed a clameur de Haro, or a “cry for
justice,” against a fresh election by
kneeling, bareheaded, at the entrance
of the courthouse and exclaiming’
"Haro! Haro! Haro! a I'aide, mon
prince! Cn me fait tort!” (Help, mv

Your Farm Needs this Outfit
The combination of a Sterling thresher with an I H C
gasoline engine, both mounted on one truck, is one of the
biggest expense-reducing and labor-saving combinations
ever brought to your attention. With this outfit, you can
do your threshing practically alone, so little help is required.
You can also do small jobs for your neighbors and in this
way pay for the outfit. When threshing is over, you can
dismount the thresher and mount a saw in its place. Or,
you can belt the 4 or 6-horse power engine to a pump, corn
sheller, grinder, etc., in fact, use the engine for a large
variety of purposes.
The Sterling thresher is so practical and easy to handle
that a boy can attend to all duties connected with the thresh
ing operation.
IT WILL THRESH
Wheat, Rye, Oats, Barley, Buckwheat, Kaffir Corn, Sor£hnm,
Flar Grasa Seed, Beane, Cowpeae, Soy Beane and Peannta.
The Sterling is built with the following sizes of cylinder and sepa
rator respectively: 21x28”, 21x33", 26 x 33'and 30x37’. It is supplied
unmounted; mounted on an individual truck, except 21 x2B" and 21 x 33";
or mounted on a combination engine-thresher truck, except 26 x 33" and
f 30x37' sizes. Get a special Sterling thresher catalogue for full partic
ulars.
