YORK CITY. _____ GEORGIANS SHOULD CALL FOR AND USE GEORGIA PRODUCTS Georgians preach loyalty and prac tice the very reverse of loyalty. A Bamesville merchant recently quarreled to the News-Gaette about the people of the community going to towns and cities elsewhere to do their shopping and the very first time after that when he needed u job of printing he did exactly what he was “cussing” other folks about— he sent elsewhere and got his print- ing without giving his local printing firm an opportunity to even bid on the Work. Georgia could muke a fine market for much of its products if Georgians would practice rather than preach loyalty. Mr. George L. Keen, of the Dink ier Hotels, recently made a remark ably practical and forceful address at the annual meeting of the hotel men of Georgia. It will interest every Georgian to read and think of it. The address whs as follows: A lack of loyalty is had in anyone. But then often thoughtlessness has the appearance of lack of loyalty. Georgia is a wonderful state. We cun produce most anything that is to eat anti the products raised in this state are better than those raised elsewhere; and yet our people either do not realize that fact, or realizing it do not properly appreciate it. A few years ago there was an ap ple show on the Pacific coast. An apple grower from Habersham coun ty, Georgia, took a few boxes of ap ples grown in his orchard at Mount Airy, and carried them to this show. He won the prize for the best apples shown. Later on there was a stock show in Chicago. A man from Thomasville, in this state, took a herd of cattle up there. He came home with first prize. Not long ago there was a beauty show held in At lantic City. A Georgia Peach from lfscon was one of three of the most luscious ones there. These instances IF SICK, BILIOUS!

It’s horrible! Take a dose of the dangerous drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose a day’s work. Calomel is mereuhy or quicksilver which causes necrosni of the bones.

If breath show that wh< rover and whenever Georgians have competed they have been in the running, either first, or so close that their competitors knew there had been a race. Travel on the dining car, in any part of the country, with a Califor nian and listen to the order he gives the waiter: “A dish of California prunes, a box of California raisins, a dish of California celery, an order of California Asparagus, a plate of California apricots, and a half dozen California peaches.” Have you ever been in New York, Chicago or else where and heard a Georgian order a slice of Georgia watermelon, an or der of Marshallville asparagus, a bas- ket of Fort Valley peaches, a box of Habershnm county upples, an order of Brooks county ham, or an order of Thunderbolt oysters on the half shell. I don’t think you ever did. This is bad enough, but pick up the average bill of fare in most any Georgia hotel and you will find it extolling the virtues of Rockaway oysters on the half shell, Maine lob sters, California grapes, Watertown goose, New York, Chicago, Boston or Kansas City ribs of beef, roast Tennessee turkey, with Vermont chestnuts and Florida jelly, milk fed Chicago chickens, but boys tell me you have to feed them on something besides milk. You will find them boosting Westphalia ham, Maine corn, Florida squash, imported Brus sels sprouts, California asparagus, Iceberg lettuce, Alabama beets, Flor ida tomatoes, Pensacola shrimp, Oys ter Bay asparagus, Virginia spots, maple syrup from Vermont and En glish mutton chops. A man named Barbee has a ter rapin farm at Isle of Hope, a few miles from Savannah, and he ships Diamond Backs to Philadelphia, sell ing them for thirty-six dollars per dozen and the Georgia cracker gets a plate of soup for two dollars. The boob never thinks to ask if it is the genuine Diamond Back from Isle of Hope, Georgia. The Brooks county ham is famed fur and near as the equal of any ham to be found any where, but the Georgia bill of fare tells us only of the Smithfield ham is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone tonight. Here’s my guarantee—Go to any drug store and get a bottle of Dod son’s Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson’s Liver Tone is de stroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable, ♦herefer- it can not sali vate or make you sick. ar.d the ham what am. From Mar shallville, Georgia, is shipped car af ter car of the finest asparagus to, be found anywhere. The Georgia hotel man prefers to tell of the splendid crops in California, or to keep the grass green at the home of Teddy Roosevelt. A packing house in Moultrie ships to all parts of the country the finest milk fed chickens to be had, while the menu maker in our state seems to think it necessary to give Tennessee credit for the classy chickens to be found in Geor gia’s dining rooms. On the wheat fields of Columbia county thrive the most luscious turkeys that any palate could desire, while reading the bill of fare in most any of our leading hotels one would imagine that it be necessary to go many miles from the confines of our state to get turkey worth eating. The shrimp caught in the waters around Tybee are superior to any that swim. Is it necessary to give the Gulf coast country' credit for this delightful eating? In the Ogeeehie river run the finest shad to be found in all the world, yet the spots from Norfolk and the King fish from Florida seem to more dain tily decorate the average hotel bill. Eat the oyters from Thunderbolt on our Atlantic coast and you will for get there is such a place as Apa lachicola. Why tell us of the glories of Louisiana and South Carolina rice, when the rice fields of Liberty coun ty export over a hundred thousand bushels of the finest rice to be had. Georgia peaches have taken first prize over peaches from the world over, and yet our Georgia bill of fare writers seem to think that the Cali fornia peach is the only one worth having. Our own Georgia Yam, famed from north to south and from east to west growing more popular every day, is neglected for the Irish potato grown in Idaho. They tell you that the only green peas worth eating are grown in Wisconsin, but our Georgia fields produce peas fit for a king. Rocky Ford, Colorado, gets the credit for the good canta loupes, but the cantaloupes grown in South Georgia are so far their sup erior that one forgets there is such a place as Rocky Ford. Some of us seem to think that the breakfast bill is not complete without an endorse ment of the Maple syrup from Ver mont or Canada, yet the syrup we serve is made up with ninenty per cent of it grown in the fields of Georgia. Speaking of lobsters, I un derstand that a hotel proprietor from Griffin has decided that the Maine lobster is not to be compared with those found in Macon. We have pork chops from Kansas City, instead of barbecued pig from Georgia; we have Brazil nuts and English walnuts, instead of paper shell pecans from Albany and Thom asville; we have imported dates from Siam instead of Georgia figs from Carrollton; we have celery from Kalamazoo, when they raise it in Lowdnes county; we have Guava jelly from Florida instead of apple jelly from the Girls’ Canning Club of Georgia; we have preserves with a blue label on it, when our own Georgia women make the finest in the land; we have ketchup of forty-seven brands when we are making the best found anywhere right here in Geor gia; we have to send to Boston for our baked beans, when the chef in any of our hotels can cook them just like mother used to serve us. Our own Farmer Bill makes the best but ter in the world, yet our hotel people are not satisfied unless they are glid ing down Fox river or climbing Clover Hill. In this way I could mention item after item and show by comparison that the Georgia product is the su perior to the imported articles, and yet we see that “a prophet is not without honor, save in his own coun try.” Let’s change the drift of the cur rent. Let’s tell the world of our wonderful country and the wonder ful things we have. While we are using our products, which we know are better than those to be had else where, let’s give them the proper la bels and tell to the world in that way what wonderful things we produce in denr old Georgia. Let’s get Geor gians to appreciate Georgia and in that way we will win the apprecia tion of our neighbors, who are be ginning to realize that we have the most wonderful state, with the most wonderful resources to be found any where under the sun.

MARTIN, Manager. o True Planting on Pike’s Peak. Bight hundred acres of forest land on the north tide of Pike’s Peuk was destroyed by Are 60 veers ago and a worthless growth of scrub took its place. Recently this has been entire ly replanted. 1 Strictly Business Proposition It is a true statement, “health Is wealth." The statement does not need argument. How people can af ford to let their capital stock be slowly absorbed and finally awake to find themselves bankrupt is passing strange. Good business men will not do so where finances are involved, they will look carefully after their monthly, weekly and dally statements; they will keep in close touch with the buying and selling ends; they will see that the credit man does his part and that the bills are promptly paid or know the reason why. Yet, it is passing strange that these same men, and in fact, all men and women, neg lect the greatest single asset in their business. It is strange that men of intelligence, men of common sense, men of judgment, will for a day neg lect their bodies and allow disease to gradually grow and undermine their physical being. All business must and does depend upon the people; without the people there would be no business. There would be no sound business without some healthy people. If the country, the men and women, who make up the world, are in poor health, general business must suffer just that much. If they are not well enough to produce normally all things that go towards this world’s needs, then there must needs be a lack. If any part of a community is sick, not only the one who is sick is affected, but his neighbors are not in as good shape as they would be if he were well. If in the course of business someone fails to meet his obligations and his creditor has to take this in dividual loss, he subtracts just that much from the balance of profit. It is just so if one, whether he be a producer or not, subtracts from the health of the community; the profit as a whole has been lowered. The Individual should have at least one complete examination a year, and he should scrupulously observe the or ders of his physician. The community needs constant care for the reason that it is made up of many individuals. The public health is the most essen tial of all things to the progress of the people, the community, the coun ty, the state, the nation, it matters not what it costs in money; it cannot be ostimated in dollars and cents, yet it can be cheaply bought. A full-time health officer under the Ellis Health Law can be employed at i most reasonable figure. The health unit can be made extensive or limited ;as you wish, but in any size it is i "'ell worth while. It is perhaps the . best form of health work known. The I very best financial investment. The greatest trouble at the present time is to get men who are adapted and qualified for the work. The field or preventive medicine is so different from the care of the disease that it is hard to find men qualified and adopt ed to the care of the community as a whole; men who are fitted for the work are in demand. It is indeed and in truth fine busi ness to buy futures in fine, robust health. FITS AND STARTS. So often we see things done by “fits and starts.” We see surveys made for certain diseases and a great hue and cry for a short time, then slowly the dramatic endeavor dies, not because the work was not needed; not because a reform was not necessary; not be cause a festering sore did not need a severe curetment; not because a dis ease did not need curing and a cause removed for ailing people, but the enthusianm just died and the great movement slowly passes into the for gotten. I have just been thinking that it was not so many years ago when the whole South, even America, was startled when the hookworm was discovered and the cause of much of the disability of our people was brought to light. Surveys were made, almost >every county in the State was visited, the heavily infected areas thoroughly worked and much remedial work done. The worm was studied, its mode of entrance to the body shown beyond all question, and the remedies, simple and easy to ad minister, were given publicity; yet we have not eliminated this one of the greatest drawbacks to the progress of the South. Thousands of our people are infected today; we have almost quit talking about hookworm, comparatively speaking, yet the problem is the same; soil pollution still goes on. children still go barefoot and have ground itch ; many, very many, are “puny,” anaemic and poorly nourished, lazy and good for nothing, when it is all due to the ioss of blood from hookworm. When one is ill. not doing well, fee ble. “poorly” and has “that tired feel ing,” you had better send a little of the bowel movement to the State Board of Health and see if the trou ble is not hookworm. If you have been diagnosed as tu bercular and do not improve as you should, you had better find out if you are not feeding worms. The diagnosis is easy; we furnish the prop er container and your physician can cure you, oh. so quickly! Recently anew remedy has been discovered for the cure of the bookworm; it is almost harmless and your doctor can put the bloom of health in sallow cheeks and fat on your skinny form with just a dose or so.

THE PARABLE OF THE AIR BRAKES There came unto me one of th> sons of the prophets, and he said, Great and Venerable Man, I unto thee Salaams. And I waited until he should tell me what was on his mind; for th e men who approach me with Great Reverence have always an Axe to Grind. And I said, How is it in the Oasis where thou dwellest? And how doth it fare with those who attend thy synagogue? And he said, They are the worst old Mossbacks who ever drew the breath of life; and they would *ot draw that if it cost them anything. Then did he get busy with a line of talk concerning all that he suf fered at the hands of those men who are Conservative, and who agreed not with his Up to the Minute Opin ions. And I let him talk. And when he had finished I told him that I hail just returned from a Journey, and that I had ridden upon a Train that is called the Limited, and that it made Fast Time. And he was interested in Speed, as also am I. And I said, Consider the Air brakes. And he said, I am not so much in terested in Brakes as I am in things that make for Speed. And I said, Then shouldest thou consider the Air Brakes, for it is they that make high Speed possible. And I said, in my boyhood the trains had only Hand Brakes. And if a train were going Twenty Miles an Hour the Brakemen had to run nearly the whole length of the Train and set one Brake and then another by hand. And the Engine could do no more than shut of its own steam, while the Fireman set a dinky little Hand Brake on the trucks of the Tender. But now may the Engineer apply all Brakes at once, the whole length of the Train. Otherwise the Trains would all go to smash, like the herd of swine that run down a steep place into the sea. It is the Air Brakes that maketh Speed pos sible. And he was interested, but he saw not the lesson of the Parable. And I said, The Crown Prince is always a Liberal, and the King is al ways a Conservative; for responsi bility doth make men reconsider their earlier theories. All young men ought to be Progressive, and all old men ought to be Conservative. It is the combination of Conservative and Progressive that keepeth this old World in its orbit. Every young Ruler of the Synagogues ought to be glad to have a few Conservative old folk in his Congregation. And he said, Thou sayest that all young men should be Progressive and all old men Conservative; yet thou art a Progressive. And I said, Certainly, for I am Young. Watchman - Examiner of New York.

The word “step” in “step-father” or "step-mother” is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is derived from "steop,” meaning bereft. It was first applied to chtl dren who had been bereft of a parent —tlius an orphan was railed, in Old English, a “step-bairn.” It. those days a “step-father” was one who took on the duties of father to an orphan. Nowadays, of course, the term “step child” is applied to the child of a hus band or wife by a former marrinze.
