4- JOY IN LIVING. ♦
There is lots of joy in living, if you
strike the proper gait, j
If you always come up smiling in the
face of every fate.
If you’re keeping step and whistling
some lively little tune,
Vou’ll be living gay and happy as a
summer day in June.
Keep a level head, don’t worry, help
your brothers on the way; ,
Let the sunshine of good humor shine
upon you ev’ry day;
Speak a cheerful word at all times,
never “knock” your fellow man.
And you’ll surely be rewarded —just
keep doing all you can. i
There is lots of joy in living if you
live your life aright
Lots of sunshine and of roses, keep
your eyes turned to the light,
Look behind the clouds of trouble;
there’s a silver lining there,
And you’ll find it if you’re only living
life upon the square.
I
Scatter good cheer like the thistle
scatters seed before the wind,
And the petty woes and troubles soon
will be left far behind.
Be a “booster” every minute, help
along your fellow man.
And you’ll surely be rewarded, just
keep doing ail you can.

PEELING POTATOES.
The hardest problem for any wom
an is how to cook the larger size fruits
and vegetables and cook them done in
the center without drawing out or
damaging the mineral salts and vita
mines so essential to perfect strength
and health, that lie just under the
skin In Germany it is a penal offense
in one’s home to peel potatoes. It is a
blunder and a crime against bone,
brain and teeth to do it anywhere. Try
this:
Thoroughly crush and cleanse an
Irish potato, remove any bad spots.
Do not peel. Cut into slices not over a
quarter of an inch think. Steam these
in a colander or wire basket ten min
utes, dry them with a napkin or towel;
brown lightly on a griddle on both
sides with a pan turned over them or
.1 an oven. Many say that they never
knew the taste of the potato before.
They can be eaten in the hand with a
little salt and butter like bread or,
they can be mashed and hashed wit'.)
or without the skins, according to
one’s taste. The flavor is better an-1
the conservation 100 per cent., seeing
there is no center.
Cabbage cut up fine, if cooked in
water would be tasteless and worthless.
Place the cabbage in a wire basket;
underneath it a shallow pan with two
little bands across to hold the bas
.et up. Steam in an ordinary tin buck
3 with a little perforated pan in the
bottom, a half an inch of water. Steam
five minutes; never more than seven?
The cabbage will be white, luscious.!
with a satisfactory flavor of its own.!
Turn it into a dish, pour every drop;
o' juice in the conservation pan over,
it; add salt; whatever seasoning one
desires, remembering the cabbage has
a very delightful flavor of its own
i J its mineral elements are conserved.
CARD OF THANKS.
Miss Minnie Lee Perryman wishes to
thank her friends who so kindly as
sisted her in the recent contest, and
made it possible for her to win first

SUNOS EXAMINATION FOR
U. S, ARMY MEDICAL CORPS
Dr. Bowman Wise, of Plains, stood
an examination yesterday in Augusta,

States Army Medical corps, having been
unable to undergo the examination in
Americus a few weeks ago when the
examining officers made a tour through
this section.
Dr. Wise is liable for military service
under the draft law and decided to
take the medical corps examination at
this time with a view to entering the
service at once, if accepted.

“SWAT THE KAISER.” NEW
GAME IN DECATUR STREET
ATLANTA. Ga.. August I.—Decatur
street negroes are getting themselves
worked up to the proper pitch of mar

which is simply a variation of the old
midway pastime of throwing three
balls at the tar babies for a nickel.

ARMAMENTS“DONE FOR"
AFTER END OF PRESENT WAR
i BIRMINGHAM, Eng., Aug. L—The
'armament business after the war will
■be “done for,” in the opinion of Ar
thur Chamberlain, who presided at the
annual meeting of the explosives and
' armament firm of “Kynochs.” He also
J stated that firms similar to Kyochs hal
concluded certain agreements which
they believed would ensure their mu
'tual prosperity when more peaceful
lines had to be followed.
DOS Mis ON
FRONT !NF«[
FRENCH FRONT. Aug. I.—Dog sen
tinels of the French army take their
regular turn of repose together with
tiieii human comrades in the “rest
camps’ o’ the second line, where they
are re.ieved for a time from the nerve-
• g thunder of the cannon, which
s ‘her daily lot in the front trenches.
These dogs, mostly of the sheep-dog
species, do most valuable service, at
night more especially, in company with
the look-outs who have the task of
keeping an unfailing guard on the
front lines. The dogs have become
quite accustomed to the roar of burst
ing shells, which when the animals
were first sent to the fighting line,
caused them to run off with their tails
drooping.
Now when the human sentinels are
posted right in face of the enemy the
do?s take up their position quite nat
urally beside them and keep a sharp
watch out over “no man’s land.” Their
ears perk up at the rustle in ■
the darkness in front, but the dogs,
do not bark or growl. Instead they j
call the attention of the soldier sentry
by wagging their tails and moving

“SELLS IT FOR LESS”
, 1
alout nervously. On many occasions
they have given notice in this way of
an enemy patrol moving about stealth
ily in front and have perceived the
approach of raiding parties ot Ger
mans long before their human com
panions had any idea that any hostile
movement was in progress.
In fact, a considerable part of the
French success in beating off German
raids has been due to the dog-senti
nels’ acute vision and hearing. Ona
battalion of the famous Alpine chas
seurs which possesses a number of
these animals has, owing to their alert
ness, been enabled to prepare timely
defense on six occasions this month
against German night attacks. When
the Germans arrived at the French
wire they found the rifle-men waitin?
for them, and they were driven back
with heavy losses, while the Chas
seurs themselves never lost a man.
Ail the soldiers of the front have
learned to have very strong confi
rence in the instinct of their dog com
panions who participate in ail their
perils and often save them from death
cr capture.
Efforts were mare at one time to use
the dogs as companions of the I rench
night patrols which creep out between
the lines to try to see what is going on
i’ the enemy's treqches. The exper
iment, however, was not entirely suc
cessful. as sometimes two French pa
trols would meet and the dogs ac
companying one party would attack
the men composing the other. If the
same men always went out on patrol;
duty it would be different, as the dogs
would learn to recognize them even
in the dark, but this is not possible.
The dogs are placed on the regimen
tal rosters in the same way as the
soldiers and they also draw regular
rations. In the front trenches they
share with the soldiers all the discom
forts of underground life, and when
j the men are relieved they go with
them to enjoy the comforts of cantou
ments. Then they are cleanly housed
in kennels, are washed and brushed
and regularly fed, and they are at all
times petted by the men, who regard
them as true comrades.
The utilization of dogs for war work
is extending dally, and those animals
found unsuitable for active service at
the front are proving of practical use
in the guarding of munitions works
and other depots in the rear.

GREEKS IN ANATOLIA BEING
SENT INTO INTERIOR TURKEY
ATHENS, August I.—Latest Havas
dispatches from Anatolia say that af
ter the abdication of King Constantine,
virtually all of the Greeks who lived
near the coast were sent to the in
terior.
The Turkish soldiers in Anatolia are
said to be in a bad plight. They are
miscellaneously armed—with Mausers,
MAitinis and almost any available kind
0? rifles—and are commanded by Ger
man non-commissioned officers, whose
rule is such as to provoke an irrita
tion that cannot be disguised, nor
concealed.
The situation is the worse for the
fact that the fare of the troops is get
ting steadily worse. Meat, which
once was plentiful and cheap is now
almost unobtainable, because the Ger
mans are said to have sent away ev
erything they could lay hands on, even
to dead horses.
QUESTION OF TREATMENT
OF PRISONERS OF WAIL
I
I
•LONDON, Aug. Ist. —Commenting on i
the meeting of British and German I
delegates at the Hague, to consider)
questions relating to prisoners, the |
"Law Journal” says:
“it has always been understood hith-l
erto that the state of war operates a;
complete severance of all relations be-I
tween the belligerents except that of
pure force. This is the explanation of
the common practice, followed univer
sally in the present war, whereby the
belligerents deal with each other
through the intervention of neutral
powers. The present meeting is, it is i
suggested, without precedent in the I
history of international law. Its im-|
portance does not end there. It al-j,
most seems as if we are at last becom
ing emancipated from the chains of
old fashioned diplomacy, which almost
I deliberately made it impossible for bel
ligerent's fairly and squarely face to '
out their causes of friction face to
face. The new departure is one from
which much may be hoped in other;
directions.”
