4 MAN’S NEED OF WOMAN. 4
4.44 4 44444444
Give me your hand * * * I have need
of it now.
Need as never before;
For the strength that was mine is ut
terly gone—
A part of my life no more!
I have walked through the Valley of
Dead desires,
Tasting the dregs of despair;
I have sought for a sign that should
give me peace,
Sought—but it was not there.
Ror some there is Faith that illumi
nates the Path,
For some there is Hope ever
strong;
But the touch of your hand is the
need of me now—
• The sound of your voice in song!
Shaken and numb is the soul of me
yet
It shall triumph if yours be true;
Brains and hands' shall create and
build
But only for you, for you!
And even that apple of dust. Success.
Shall come, if that is your will;
Give me your hand —with the song
on your lips—
And the ache in my heart is still.
All that is worthy in me is yours;
What if my dreams be read?
Fires of faith still burn in your heart,
Unbowed is your regal head.
Only your love and the light of your
eyes
Can save me from self-defeat.
I am done with the game * * * but
your calm white soul
Shames mine when I think of re
treat.
Give me your hand! * * * And the
strength that is there
Shall waken my own anew;
I can force the fight and win. by the
gods!
But not for myself—for you!

WELL RE! LIVED.
The musical comedy, “Cupid at Col
lege’’ presented last night at the
Opera House by the local Red Cross
I chapter, was most clever and well re-'
I reived by a fairly well filled house. The’
1 musical numbers and choruses elicited
enthusiastic applause and those whO|
attended were well pleased. The play
was replete with clever situations and!
jolly songs and a neat sum was real
ized by the local chapter for the work >

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY
COMES IN AUGUST.
It is usually with considerable dis- j
appointment that the woman born in
August learns that her birthstone is
the sardonyx and even the fact that,
that stone is said to insure conjugal ■
felicity does not entirely make amends ‘
fcr the fact that it is not ranked as ’
one of the precious stones and is not a
gem of great beauty.
But with the present revival in in
terest in cameos n > August born wo-'
man with a real taste for beuatiful ob
jects of art ought to wish for any other,
birthstone. Sardonyx it is in the old
lists and sardonyx it ought to remain
in spite of the newer lists that have
been made to give everyone an attrac
, tive gem. The sardonyx has always
been a favorite stone with cameo en
-1 gravers. If you recall your trip
1 th rough the Vatican galleries when you
■ were in Rome perhaps you recall see
ing there the famous Carpegna cameo,
• 1 said to be the largest work of its kind
1 ever accomplished. It represents the
triumph of Bacchus and Ceres and is
! worked on a sardonix stone of five
, i layers, each layer contributing part of
!’ the color to the cameo, which measures
; somewhat more than a foot square.
| Os course, every woman with a birth
! day in August cannot possess anything
that will compare with the Carpegna
i cameo, but if you have your eye open
! for a good sardonyx cameo you will be
piptty sure, sooner or later, to come
across one that will make you glad that
; your stone possesses so many possibil
ities for a collector. There are many
imitations of sardonyx and it ought to
f . be part of your search to make sure
' that vou know the real from imitation.
1 * J
, Often you can come across a good
piece in a collection of old jewelry that
is being sold because the owners do
1 not appreciate its intrinsic artistic val
' j ue. Sometimes —especially if you trav
'ie! in out-of-the-way corners of the
’ glcbq^ —you may come across a good
’ i piece in a little pawn shop. .Perhaps
in your own family, stowed away in the
b; tton box or jewel case with various
articles of adornment of another gen
eration and another taste you may be
able to find the precious cameo in sar
donix you are looking for. As a usual
' thing the old settings are the best
though if the cameo needs a new set
ting any good jeweler will put the right
sort of frame or setting on your piece.
AMERICANS URGED
!10 EAT CHEESE
LARGER QUANTITY
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. IL—
“Store” cheese —more properly gnown
as American Cheddar —is more nour
ishing pound for pound, than any meat
' and therefore should have a prominent
place in the diet as a meat substitute,
’ says a statement issued today by the
1 United States Department of Agricul
ture.
“Few people in this country eat
cheese in sufficient quantities for it
really to form an important part of
the daily fare,” says the statement. “In.
deed, it is used more often simply as an
appetizer or as a seasoning for some
other food. Nearly every one relishes
j gcod American Cheddar or ‘store’
1 cheese, but there is an impression that
it is indigestible and constipating. Ex
-1 tensive digestion experiments carried
on by the Department of Agriculture
' have demonstrated that more than 95
per cent of the protein of cheese is di
gested and 90 per cent of its energy is
1 available. Even when eaten in large
quantities and for long periods, no case
' of indigestion, constipation, or other
disturbtnce was observed in those who
ate it. One man who ate cheese as the
chief source of both protein and energy,
eating an average of 9.27 ounces daily,
with bread and fruit, for more than
two years, did a fair amount of mus
cular work and kept in good health.
“American Cheddar cheese is a very
satisfactory substitute for meat. It can
ibJ kept in storage for a long time, and
contains much food in small volume.
“A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a pound
of fowl or round steak and almost twice
a“ much protein as the same amount
of fowl or ham. Cheese, therefore, is
usually a cheaper food than the meats.
“Cheese can also be combined in
many palatable dishts. When grated it
may be used in soups or with many
vegetables. Other foods in which
cheese is used are: Macaroni and
cheese Welsh rarebit, tomato rarebit,
i baked crackers and cheese, vegetable
j and cheese rolls, cheese omlet. oatmeal
and cheese, and cheese mash.

FRENCH OFFICERS
ENTERTAINED 81
AMERICAN TROOPS'
AMERICAN TRAINING CAMB LN I
FRANCE. Aug. 11.—Taking advantage’
of a half holiday on Wednesday after
noon, one of the American regiments
training in France entertained its 1
French instructors at a field luncheon ‘
or picnic in one of the most ruggedly
picturesque spots in the entire Amer-:
ican army area. The American officers
the French officers and the
American enlisted men their comrades
ii the French ranks.
, The men all shared alike in being
helped from the big field kitchens.
They sat on the grass, ate together and
carried on a lively conversation de
spite the difference in tongue. There
! were many good things to eat, cooked
if American fashion, but the French
.soldiers seemed to enjoy most of all
ithe white bread served from the
I ican field bakeries.
The French officers were given a
particular treat in the way of fried
chicken, country style. The afternoon
was a great success and marked a still
closer amity between the American and
French armies. When the luncheon
I was at its height one French officer en
thusiastically exclaimed: “Oh! if the
boys could only see us now!” The Am
erican soldiers have a half holiday
leach Wednesday. This is in lieu of a
Ralf holiday on Saturday, for it has
been found that Saturday, noon to Mon-
I day mornings is too long an interval to
.be away from work.
i The marines are somewhat dejected
I over the order that they must adopt
i khaki instead of their most distinctive
j uniform of forest green.
j The later looks extremely like the
.German field gray uniform after being
I in service a little while, but the real
i reason for the change unquestionably
.i: the desire to simplify the equipment
• of the expeditionary force and to make
all the equipment interchangeable.
■ Arrangements have been made where
i by the French government has agreed
to sell to the Americans a number of
trained artillery horses and pack
mules as transport animals. The
French have an excess supply of these
just now and the arrangements will be
a boost to the Americans who will get
seasoned in actual war work.
MUST REPORT MOMMY
FDR DDTY IN D.S.NfiVY
A. J. Bell, son of Mr. and Mrs. E.
I L. Bell of this city, has received orders
to report at the naval recruiting tation
in Atlanta on Monday morning at B:3J
o’clock. Some weeks ago he enlisted
iin the yeoman service of the United
States Navy and on account of the fact
that the yeoman school at Newport, R.
j., has been overcrowded, he, along
with hundreds of other newly enlisted
• men, was ordered to return home and
await orders to asume the duties as
signed to him.
The orders arrived Saturday morn
ing and he will leave today for Atlanta
to be on hand at 8:30 Monday morning.

EXPECT SENATE IDs
CUT DOWN SCHOOL
APPROPRIATIONS
! ATLANTA. Ga.. August 11.—The gen-j
’eral appropriation bill was
'passed by the house of representatives'
late yesterday afternoon and went to
1 the senate today for its first reading.
This year the appropriation commit
tee of the house drew the bill to pro-
I vide only for 1918 and 1919, as has'
been the custom in the past of making'
the bill provide for two years in ad I
vance.
When consideration of the bill in
committee of the whole, after three
days of arduous work. had been com
pleted yesterday afternoon, an amend- ‘
ment was introduced to make the bill
provide for two years, 1918 and 1919,1
by simply repeating the appropriations
for the second year.
After a sharp fight the amendment
was defeated and the bill goes to the
[senate with provision for one year on
ly. It is expected that the senate will I
'cut down the $4,000,000 appropriation
for the common schools, which was
put into the bill by a vote of the
house late Thursday afternoon at the
'close of a long and hard-fought con
test.
! The common school appropriation
for 1917 is $2,700,000. The appropria.
1 tion committee of the house recom-
1 mended an appropriation of $3,000,000.
■ An amendment was introduced to raise
the appropriation to $4,000,000 and car
ried by a small margin. It is generally
recognized and admitted that the state
will never be able to meet this appro-
1 priation, but the common school forces
lof the house put it through in spite of
the well known condition of the treas
ury. he result in all probability will
[be this: The counties will go ahead
■ and extend their school terms and em
' ploy teachers, and after the pupils
have been taught and the teachers have
I done their work there will be deficit in
[the treasury and they will not be paid
I the money they have earned.
Should the state continue the pres
ent system of borrowing money on
'school teachers’ warrants drawn by
the governor on the state treasury, the
[state’s floating debt will continue to
increase and within a few years there
will probably be a deficit in the treas
ury of several million dollars. The
state’s income is increasing, but not
nearly with such rapidity as pensions
and other appropriations are increas
ing. Half a century after the civil
war, the state finds its Confederate
■ pensions mounting year by year in
| stead of diminishing.
Realizing that there will not be suf
fleient money in the treasury to meet
[the appropriations contained in the
I bill, several members of the house in
troduced amendments yesterday after
! noon providing that in such an event
'the governor should pro-rate the bal
ance in the treasury among the various
appropriations. using the available
I funds as far as they would go. This
amendment was voted down.
At the afternoon session yesterday an
amendment was adopted replacing the
'appropriation of $35,000 for the mill-
I tary department, which had been
[stricken out by the appropriation com
mittee. and the following other items
were disposed of:
For the maintenance of the capitol
and the governor's mansion, $30,000;
to cover a deficit in maintenance of
the same for 1917, $12,000; for the
general printing fund, $35,000; to
cover a deficit in the same for 1917,
$20,000; for rewards offered by the
governor, $3,000; for the roster com
mission, $4,600.
I left. He has many friends who remem
on this visit.
