A rather striding relation be tween teeth and mentality is found in children. In a school oi one of the larger cities 97 per cent of the children were found to hav e de fective teeth. To test the rela tion between teeth and mentality, forty of the most backward chil dren in school were taken and given the necessary dental care, and were instructed in the care of the teeth and proper mastication of food. “Observations were made at the end of the six month period, and twenty seven of these children who had been most faithful in carrying out instructions were better nourish ed, their complections were clear er, and with the special attention and physical uplift had conn, a seif respect that made them a desirable element in school. With due al lowance for natural growth, an average improvement of 37 po r cent was found, and in the worse .mouth conditions an average of 50 per cent improvement was found Central of Georgia Tells About Its Employees Transportation is an essential industry that renders a great and necessary service to the country. Fnerefore, railroad men have a right to be proud of their calling. The public ap parently has an increasing appreciation of w hat transportation means to the general wel fare, but perhaps few people, even those who ship and travel continually, understand the care with which railroad employes are chosen. Any person who is employed by the Central of Georgia Railway must measure up to high s tandards physically, mentally and morally. The appl.cant must present a record of previous employment and references as to good character. He muss undergo an examination to determine if he is in sound physical condition. His eye sight and his hearing arc tested. Since life and property are entrusted to the care of thofee in train service, the physical examination in certain departments is even more exacting than that of the United States army. In addition to being fit physically and above the average in mental attainments, the rail road employe must observe high moral standards. For nstance, it is well known that the rules of the 1 ransportation Department prohibit the use of intoxicating liquor. All rules are impartially enforced by those charged with maintaining discipline, and many men are now in other employment because of infractions of the regulations that came to the atten tion of the alert supervisory forces. Not every man who enters railway service remains there. I hose who do continue in our employ are picked men of a high type of manhood. They are expected to be courteous at all times, and they strive to give consideration to the rights, comfort and conveniences of the pat rons of the road. It means much to the public to have its transportation affair? handled by efficient, loy al and courteous employes. Ihe people may ship their property from place to place with the assurance that it will receive correct and careful handling, and that the employe will en deavor to deliver it at destination in the good condition that it left its point of origin. More than that, the traveler may entrust himself and the members of his family to the care of railway employes v.ith entire confidence that everything humanly possibly is being done to prevent even the slightest injury. The safy.y of passenger transportation on the Central cf Georgia is indicated by the fact that nearly 4,000,000 passengers were carried last year without a single fatality. ’ , Ihe Central of Georgia is proud of the une personnel of its employes. Its officers have ’ < l cn ICcri 'itcd from the ranks because of their qualifications for incrased responsibility, hey ;,iderstand the conditions under which the men work and their success is an example o t'e opportunity that is opened to the man who makes good in railroading. Our em p p’yes have contributed largely toward establishing the reputation of this railway as a de pc” a , trans P ollat >on utility. Ihe management is glad of this opportunity to inform the public how its employes are selected and trained MKMtk, ». taritz— Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. ; x - irrv L A downs, ■ ' * x L ■ President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.

This time the prize was a bride. He and Miss Zelma Christin e La more (above), formerly of Twin Falls, Ida, were married in New York. They met in the conserva tory where both were pursuing their musical studies. Smith aspires to be a grand opera sing er. His bride is a pianist and organist.

All they wanted to know was HOW and WHEN to poison. “I know you can count on their co-operation in this splendid cam paign that you people of Sumter have undertaken and are success fully putting over. "There’s no truth in the state ment that the negro farmers wont poison. They will. And I know that’s cheering information to you. Those negroes told me that they wanted to raise cotton and would raise cotton if the necessary infor mation to fight the weevil was giv en them “‘We wants cotton and more cot ton and we wants meat and more meat.’ more than one black -man has said to me today. “I am particularly delighted to meet my friend, J. C. Maness, of the state board o f entomology, hei _• in the campaign with you,” said Dr. peLoach. “He has been studying and fighting the weevil for ten years. I believe that where Maness goes the weevil leaves. His success in his various campaigns have been an outstanding success. It was a good day for the cotton farmers of the state when Maness gave up his pulpit as a minister of the Method ist church and started to preach boll weevil extermination. And I say that with all reverence, too. “Now, gentlemen, I know the weevil can be exterminated. I am. a farmer, in the game for the money that’s in it. . I have success fully raised cotton under boll wee vil conditions for myself and for the Armour fertilizer companv whom I represent. Armour is glad for me to quit my work on the Armour farm and come into Sumter and aid you in the fight. We d 'n’t want Sumter weevils flying over to our farms. If you kill them here your weevils can’t come to pester us,” said the speaker. Dr. DLeoach warned against an excess of meetings in the country just now. He said that a campaign of education was needed and should be carried on throughout the grow ing season, but that the farmers must not be called from the fields now'. Dr. DeLoach spoke to other ne groes in the afternoon Wednesday > and will address three or four meet ings Os negroes Thursday. The white farmers are sending their ne gro tenants and croppers to the meetings and possibly a 1,000 or more will hear Dr. DeLoach during j Jhe two days. THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
