AMEKICUS WOMEN ,
AND SOCIETY.
Americus women are observing the
patriotic spirit of thq nation in their
social activities. Seldom before in
the ‘history of the city have so few
.social affairs been scheduled as at
this particular period. One lady, who
formerly was quite prominent in the
social doings of Americus, said yes
terday sue had gone into utter social
’Seclusioi!. while numerous others
have recently resolved to attend no
affairs except those conforming
.strictly v Ith the patriotic spirit. One
well dressed lady, known widely in
Americus, attended a spend-the-day
affair one day recently attired in a
simple gingham frock, and others
abandon the wearing of silk stock
ings along with other needless ex
travagances. The wife of one Amer
icus’ wealthiest citizens is doing
practically all her housework, in
cluding a portion of the washing, and
several are attending flocks of poul
try and raising war gardens. All of
which is hard on the society report
er, for when women won’t entertain,
she can’t write.
We have no objection, however, we
would even be willing to suspend this
column altogether if by doing so we
could save the precious life of one of
ou r boys fighting in France, or help
in any way to end the terrible war
now going on in Europe.

THERE is sentiment in every

thought of home and as he
looks again and again at the
precious pictures of the home

For the garden party and ail the
rest of summertime’s engaging oppor
tunities for living outdoors some clev
er hats and bags to match have been
made. They all take cognizance of
the fact that everywhere the lady goes
her knitting-bag goes, too, and it is
getting to be as much an affair of in
terest and Importance as the hat it
matches. With the introduction of mil
linery braids and laces in its construc
tion, we have summer knitting bags
different from anything that has gone
before. Knitting is becoming a sort
of national pastime—the tired busi
ness woman and the woman of leisure
—ls there are such any more—declare
it restful to the nerves. Anyway, it
is essential and must be attended to.
The novel bag shown In the picture
is merely a tube-shaped affair covered
with ribbon, lace and a fancy millinery
braid—a companion piece to the frilly
midsummer hat that Inspired It. It Is
capacious and very chic—designed for
the woman who is able to indulge in
little fancies and not recommended for
anyone else. There are plenty of
pretty bags that are more simply made

COTTON MARKET
SCORER ADVANCE
Lack of rain and favorable war
news is held responsible for the
phenomenal advance of two hundred
and eight points- scored by October
cotton options today. The market
opened with October quoted at 32.00
and at the close the option stood at
34.80. During the first hour of bu
iness on the New York exchange,
prices sank to 42 points below yes
terday’s close, but later a general
rally was experienced and unexpect
ed strength wag shown. The advance
scored during the day added approx-

It does not make much difference
what hats and bags are made of so
long as they are pretty and cleverly i

(Tuberculosis Kills as Many as
Fall From Bullets.
Dr. Livingstone Farrand Appeals to
People to Enter Battle Against
Disease.
■ New York.—Mortality from tuber
■ culosis among the civilian population
and in the armies of all the countries
engaged in the war has at least ap
proximated the total number of sol
diers killed In battle, according to Dr.
Livingstone Farrand, director of the
American commission for the preven
tion of tuberculosis in France.
That the people of America throw
j themselves into the winning of the
i war against tuberculosis with the same
J zeal with which they have hurled
i themselves against the Hun is the bur
den of an appeal made by Doctor Far
rtind on the eve of his return to
France.
“’To make our country really safe
we must first make it healthy,” is the
slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for
this war against disease.
Os the men called to the colors by
the first draft 50,000 were found to be
tubercular. This is one of the striking
j indications of the prevalence of the
disease.
“While the war has thus effectually ■
disclosed conditions which existed be- I
fore, rather than produced these eondi- !
tions, it is also true that in indirect .
ways it lias substantially increased the i
tuberculosis problem in the European I
countries involved," says Doctor Far- !
• rand.
J “1 refer not to the situation in the ;
j armies, where the mode of life often
tends to reduce this disease, but to con
ditions which affect the civilian popu
lation.”
Increased food, clothing and housing
costs necessitating, among the lower
wage groups, diminished quantity and
quality and their resultant undernutri
. tion, are given as contributing causes.
A nation-wide campaign against the
disease and for adequate provision for
rejected and discharged soldiers suf
fering from it Is planned through 1,500
local societies of the National Tuber
' culosis association.

Mrs. Ariadne Roomanov, wife of
Kerensky’s secretary, experienced an
unusual surprise when she arrived in
Tokyo. She Is the double of Tatiana,
daughter of the former czar, who was
reported on her way to America. Mrs.
Roomanov was offered an entire wing
of the imperial palace at Tokyo for
her accommodation while in the Jap
anese capital, it being the belief that
she really was the daughter of the
czar.

Denver, Colo. —In making applica

the American army tn France, Eugene
Casper, twenty-two, told Denver re
cruiting officers he would not hesitate
to fire against a certain unit of the
German army, of which bls father is
captain and In which two of his broth

in the United States less than three
years, has received only his first pa

He Is a son of Capt. Gustav Casper,
of the German army. David Holz

At Central Baptist church Sundi.
morning Rev. George F. Brown, the

propriate in view of the great army
of men now being sent abroal
duties of those who remain, at home
to send them those things necessa-j
for their success. The men at home
hhave duties no less patriotic ami
necessary than those being perform

HALF LIFE TRAPPING
Aged Man Has Seen Many Vicissi
tudes.
Those who visited the mouth of the
Los Molmos river canyon In California
during the winter saw.the home of M.
L. Smalling, who for forty years has
followed a trapper’s life.
With 300 steel traps, a repeating
rifle and an acquaintance with every
thing wild, this man, whose eighty
fifth birthday was on March 8, has
trapped along the streams from the
Oregon line to Stockton for more than
four decades.
Smalling came to California In 1851.
Frontier life appealed to this young
man from the start. He trapped and
mined for seven years on Trinity river,
another seven years on Battle creek
and seven years along the Feather
river.
He always works nine hours a day.
and is as spry as the average man of
' forty or fifty years.
Smalling accounts for his perfect
health through his habit of spending
( most of his life in a tent and living
' close to nature.
USELESS MONEY IN BANKS
Have 350,000 They Do Not Know What
to Do With.
Battle Creek hanks have $50,000 in
cash on hand they don’t know what to
do with.
The money really belongs to several
thousands of men employed on Camp
Custer construction work who failed
to cash their checks. Porter Bros.,
contractors, paid out checks weekly
and the government deposited cash to
cover them. Hundreds of men left
camp daily with pay checks for small
amounts, and the sum of unclaimed
money grew all summer. Some of the
checks uncashed amount to SSO or
more.
The government has no way to take
th -ioney back. Porter Bros, have no
legal claim on the money. And the
bank can't got rid of the money be
cause there is still a possibility of the'
checks showing up. /'
