When things go wrong,
And troubles throng,
If it did any good
To fume and fuss and fret,
With everyone who would
Strive to express regret;—
Or, if it helped you out
To sling apart and pout,
When others are about, —
The world would ever praise.
Such crusty ways.
But when each word
You speak, is slurred
With venom, and you vent
You spleen against some heart
Which rues your discontent,
Only to make it smart. —
Suppose you lose one friend
What benefits attend?
You may need in the end?
Better by far a song,
When things go wrong.
—Ralph Methvin Thompson.

Save The Babies
These are authentic quotations from the pamphlet on babies pre
pared by Dr. L. Emmett Holt, ot Columbia University, and Dr. Henry L.
K. Shaw, of Union University:
The new born baby should not be nursed until 6 hours after birth.
He should nurse 4 times in the first 24 hours. If he cries much, give
him boiled water, NOTHING ELSE. Nurse him at both breasts each time.
Beginning the third day nurse him i.ot more than 20 minutes every 3
hours. Nurse him regularly, BY THE CLOCK. He will be a better
baby. Wake him at nursing time. If you cannot nurse him up to third
day, feed him at 3 hour intervals, but try to nurse him first, every time
you feed him. Why you should nurse your baby will be told tomorrow.

TATTNAL TO ESTABLISH FREE
NIGHT SCHOOL FOR ILLITERATES
ATLANTA, Ga„ Feb. 12.—Georgia
will soon lose its unhappy position as’
the third most illiterate state in the!
union if other counties follow the ex
ample of Tattnall in establishing pub
lic night schools to teach illiterate
adults how to read and write. Tatt
nall has taught 225 adults between the
ages of 20 and 75 years how to write
and read, and the night school is now
flourishing. The experience of the
authorities in that county has been I
tat adults are not kept out of the I
school by the mortification of being'
unable to read and write, but are anx-'
icus to learn if the school is tactfully’
conducted. Other counties in the.
state are planning to establish similar
schools.
HIGH SCHOOL GIRL
Run-Down, Weak and Nervous—Made
Strong by Vinoi.
For the benefit of Americus schoolj
girls who overwork and get into
highly nervous, weak and run-down I
condition, we publish this letter from
Dorris Coplier, of Fort Worth, Tex., —
“I go to the high school and take
music lessons, and became run
down, weak and very nervous, so I
could not do anything. I would
shake all over and could have
screamed at times, and was really
unfit to keep on with my studies, j
Mother purchased a bottle of Vinoi
for me and within a week I was better
and in two weeks I had gained five
pounds and felt fine."
It is the curative, strengthening!
elements ot beef and cod-liver pep-!
tones, aided by the blood-making,
revitalizing effect of iron and manga
nese peptonates and glycerophos
phates contained in Vinoi, which
made it so successful in building up
health and strength and overcoming ’
the nervous condition of Miss Coplier, I
and we ask every school girl in Amer
icus, who is in a like condition to try I
Vinoi, on our guarantee to return their
money if it fails to benefit

THE OPERA HOUSE
—~
Mary Pickford is coming to the
Opera House Saturday, February 17th
in “The Pride of the Clan."
One very cold morning in Novem
ber when the Atlantic ocean was
showing a great deal of its temper,
Mary Pickford was taken all sorts of
chances by being left alone on a half
sinking craft off the coast of Marble?
head, where she was rescued as part
ct the story in her new picture, “The
Pride of the Clan.”
Miss Pickford had been running up
and down the sea-washed deck, get
ting real water all over her and frant
ically crying for help as she felt the
frail craft sinking beneath her. As
the water got up to her knees and the
cameras kept on clicking she cour
ageously emulated the example of the
boy who stood on the burning deck
until Maurice Tourneur, the director,
arrived in a motor boat and lifted her
to safety. With her teeth chattering
from the morning bath and still feel
ing a little creep after the sensation,
she took her director to a corner of
the cabin and whispered:
“If we are going to have any more
pictures like this. I'm going to learn
to s .v an."
