So war has been declared, and a proclamation has been broadcast calling for recruits among young women. Mrs. Winter advise:: girls to study international law, ecnio mics. languages and other sub jects required for efficient con •ular service. She is seeking to interest women's college in insti tuting courses especially designed to train young women in such ac tivity. W omen in consular service, Mrs. W inter believes, would increase the understadning ;,id friendly re lations between nations. It would be a friendly step toward universal peace. But this isn't the final goal, by any means. After this fortress is wen, Mrs. Winter looks on to the next, a more noble, more formid able stronghold to tear down. Woman Ambassador! That, is the diplomatic service it self, when in the I'nitcd, btatc-s is represented in an offic.al, exe cutive capacity. Os course there are cases of women employed in this service, but Mrs. Winter looks forward to jobs mever yet held by her sex. Even, who knows, to ministei or ambassador. “Well, why not?” she asks. “Wo man is as much a natural diplo mat as she is a cook." She is as well fitted to mpke a treaty as cherry me, Mrs. Winti r adds. Besides, long experienced in managing a grouchy husband a-ad < ' streperous children, she ought to be well qualified to pacify gi recal citrant country. PRESIDENT GAINES WILL CALL SPECIAL MEETING .ATLANTA, Nov. 111. President W. W.

Mr. Gai:.., stilted that he would propose that the committee itseli authorize an increase in its mem bership to /include county school! authorities with the view toward devising pi:,is tot merging tiie city and county school system under one head, and with one source of reve nue for all. The movement'for a city-county merger was given impetus Wed nesday by the action of the Atlan ta Federation of Trades ir. indors ing tile general idea anti officials both of the city and Fulton coun ty scho Is Thursday declared them selves heartily in favor of the plan.

Numerous amendments im w.lur ed by Bussey, ot Crisp, steKing to increase the tux rate, on banks other forms of busin<- rises were voted down, Including -me which would have made it against the law to collect inter’ on any notes, mortgage-, or other ac knowledgments for debt, which had > lot been returned for the payment of taxes. Practicaly the entire morning ses sion war. liken up by discussion of the clause referring to the tax on' insurance premiums. The amend ment to place this tax at two per cent, instead of one and one-half per cent as fixed in the commit tee amendment, was fust defeated, but 1.1 a motion to reconsider was finally adopted. Considerable time at the morn ing,session was also taken up by de bate of the governor’s supplement ary call, for a second extra session to run concurrently with the pres ent one. This reached the house shortly after 1 o’clock and was the signal for extended debate. New bills introduced Monday in eluded one by McCrory, of Schley, to create a state text book com mission end to procure for the schools a unform series of text books and for other purposes. An other, by DeLaperriere, of Jackson, would reduce the fertilizer tag tax from 30 to 15 cents per ton, and appropriate 10 cents of this to the bureau of markets an 1 5 cents to the state treasury for general pur poses. This later bill was taken up by the committee on general judiciary number two at an afternoon meet ing. but went to ’noth-.-r meeting called for Friday afternoon, as un finished business. The bill, it is pointed out, fails to provide any means of supporting the fertilizer inspectors of the laboratory where the tests are made.

Peculiarly should this be so at the "present time. “There is discontent abroad in the land; there is thre:iiened disin tegration of the republican party. The discontent and party diffocul ties arise not because of popular government, but from the lack of it. Two warring philosophies of gov ernment in the nation just as in the state from which I come, struggle for the mastery. Designate them as you will, the contest between them is age-old. The one ultro conservative, materialistic, stolidly and stubbornly contesting every hu man advance, invites an ultra radi calism. The other, mindful of ex isting conditions, bu- recognizing conditions and mankind’s gradual progress, is idealistic and fofward iooking. It avoids alike ultra-con servatism and ultra-radicalism. st’s the obi, old struggle beginning in the early days of man’s first achievements and never ending since. “Reaction and progress must fight it out again in the Republican party in the coming presidental pri maries. I question not men now, but their philosophy of government. That which obtains at Washington does not fit present-day needs. Ul tra conservatism there •■•.des; pro gressivism challenges it. And the ensuing contest will determine whether the republican par y shall be the permanent instrument of reaction or whether it shell respond to present day conditions and aspi rations. We would have a revital ized republican party, a party rep resenting alone its rank and file, the instrument neither of static re action nor destructive radicalism.

The Most Ciitical Part of Your Anatomy and Physiology Y»u are a wise man or woman if you understand your coion and keep | if in perfect ?mrking order. Health, ' happiness, vigor and long life are ' the gifts which an activ. colon gives i you and a Iqzy <olbn takes away. But, back to our question:— What is your colon; where is your colon; why is your colon? Listen at tentively for only a minute and you nay learn something that will add twenty years to your life. Your colon is the last five feet if .'. nii- digestive canal. It is I’pur shwerage system; your garbage can, so to speak. Keep it clean and you are well ahd happy; let it stagnate and it will distill the poisons of decay, fermentation (gas) and pu- ' trefaetion into your blood, poison- ' ing your brain and nerves so that | you are restless, irritable and blue; . poisoning your heart so that you ' dre weak, listless and lazy; I poisoning your lungs so that your I breath is heavy foul; poisoning 1 your stomach and digestive or- : | gans so that you are bloated, belch- ' nig and uncomfortable with gas i pains; poisoning your blood so that . unhealthy; poisoning every part and | I your skin looks yellow, sallow and I organ of your body- “>rough your I I blood, making you look and feel old I lami ugly long before your time;' I making your joints and your back I stiff and" rheumatic, your eyes d;ull j and your brain sluggish. By the perfect law of Nature, your colon should empty itself three ■ times a day—within an hour aftvi ! eating. Does your colon work that well? If not, it has.lost its tone. What do we mean by tone? Your colon is a hollow muscle. Its wails are made un of long, ’ lusele fibre* HE REFUSED TO ANSWER Aunt Jinny, a Carolina negress, was a great advocate of the rod as a help in child-rearing.
