ODDS AND ENDS. Prosperous, happy new year. Have you smashed those new year resolutions? i Let us while we are making our resolutions--and turning over new leaves —resolve that this new year we will engage in some useful oc cupation, bearing in mind that idleness is the root of all mischief. You know, folks,'ll] this day and time, time of selfishness, gree and gain, there is nothing you c> get free except the sdf-stopp. that you get with your automobile. It may not be quite so popular to run by ourselves, but if we have to 1 do a lot of things that are done itijd run with a. lot of Polks we see these Gays, it is far more profitable. 'lf we would, one and ail, mere strictly to the rule, as long as there are any" doubts, to keep our ton gues bridled and our mouths shut, there wouldn’t be near so much evil gossip and-slanderous talk floating about, I am here to tell ybu. Pick*up your paper most any time and glance closely through its columns and you will see where someone has been lured to their death or downfall through affilia tion with sin. Hear me, young man, beware of sin in every form, for surely its wages is death, and be very caretul how you affiliate yourselves with these (two of the worst on earth) booze and bad women. Death lurks in the wake of each. Some folks think if you are a Christian you have got to do this thing. Others think you haye got to do some or other thing or some other way and so on. Everyone has his own personal opinion as to what constitutes right and what is not right. You never find two persons that have exactly the same ideas as to a thing. So in face of these facts, wouldn’t it be a real good idea to think for our own selves and act accordingly — but be sure we act according to what we think is right —then let people say what they please. We can’t please everyone we see and live right. No, sir, ree, we can’t do it. No matter what you do, nor when, someone is sure to say you have made a mistake, you have acted badly. So think and act for yourself. Uncle Jeremiah. Worth $50.00 a Bottle • Wm. Barnes, San Antonio, Tex., writes : “Foley’s Honey and Tar i the best cough remedy in the world. It has been worth $50.00 a bottle to me. I had ‘the flu’ fol lowed by pneumonia, which left me weak, with a persistent cough. I needed rest and sleep, which I was unable to get. Some one ad vised Foley’s Honey and Tar. I began taking it that very night. Before bed time I noticed relief, and that night had a sound sleep and a perfect night’s rest, the first since the beginning of the flu. I have completely recovered, and do not cough at all. It cost me only $1.20 to cure that, obstinate cough with Foley’s Honey and Tar. Let all who read this letter try Foley’s.” The McDonough Drug Co.

There is in this city an indulgent father who encourages his little boy to strive for good marks at school by offering and paying re wards of various kinds for his at tainments. Recently the young hopeful put in a petition for a new patent top which had caught his fancy. “All right,” replied his father, “you can have it if you stand third in your arithmetic class.” Being a sensible man he didn’t want the boy to “cram” and would be satisfied with a good average. For about a week the youngster came home with a glowing face. He went to a private school, by the way, "I’m third, pop,” he gaily an nounced. “Do I get the top ?” • “Pop” looked at his report and thought the mark a little low, but the boy explained the lessons were very hard and he had to struggle to get his coveted place, so the father brought home the coveted top. That night as the youngster was playing with the new toy a sudden thought struck his father. “By the way, Bobby,” he asked, “how many are there in your arithmetic class?” “Four,” was the cheerful reply.

GEORGIA CARGO OF SUPPLIES COES TO ARCHANGEL Red Cross Sends Relief Ships for Allied Soldiers and Civilians in Starving Russia. A relief ship was recently sent from this country to Archangel by the American Red Cross with 4,0X1 tons of drills, food, soap and other sup- ! piles for the use of the Allied soldiers und needy civilians in that part of Russia. The vessel's cargo was val ued at $1,fi11,233. Later, another ship was dispatched carrying 200 tons of similar supplier furnished by the American Ited Cross, the total expenditure for the two ship ments amounting to over $2,000,000. Major C. T. Williams of Baltimore was in charge of the party of thirteen which accompanied the shipment from this country. He was formerly a mem ber of the Red Cross Commission for Roumania. Major Kirkpatrick, atone time a member of the'latter commis sion, hut recently attached to the Army Medical Corps, heads the medi cal end of the Archangel expendition. Drugs and general hospital supplies constituted the greater part of the cargo sent from America. While the chief concern of the ex pedition was providing comforts for American and Allied fighting men in that part of the world, all efforts were bent to get relief to the Russian sol diers who were returned from Ger man prison camps at the rate of about 15,000 a week. The condition of these men was pitiable. It has been esti mated that 90 per cent, of them were tubercular. In addition to drugs and food, al most every imaginable article on the list of supplies sent over was for the comfort, convenience and pleasure of the Allied soldiers. Just a few of these articles were playing cards, razor blades, jewsharps, mandolins, aecordeons, ukaleles, phonographs, cameras, skates, wigs, whiskers, grease paints, footballs, snowshoes, slippers, hockey outfits. Indoor base balls, moving picture outfits, Bibles, prayer books, boxing gloves, games, music, books, cigarettes, candy and dried fruits. The need of prompt relief for the inhabitants of towns along the coast of the White Rea and on the Kola peninsula, many of whom were facing starvation, was found to he impera , tive. Scurvy bad broken out among the people at these places, adding to the general distress. The towns to Which the relief ex pendition was sent are virtually iso lared from the outside world because of the treacherous coast line, shifting sand bars and uncharted waters. An exceptionally early frost, even for that part of the world, ruined the harvests, which were expected to improve con ditions. Statements, printed in Rus sian, explaining the work of the Red Cross, were distributed among the in habitants. Reasons! Why you should use Cardui, the woman’s tonic, for your troubles, have been shown in thousands of letters from actual users of this medi cine, who speak from {>ersonal experience.

The list shows price ranges on nine general classified groups with a spread of $13.85 per cwt. —the lowest at $6.50 and the highest at $20.35. Why this variation in price? Because the meat from differ ent animals varies greatly in quality and weight. Although the quotations shown are in nine divisions, Swift & Company grades cattle into 34 general classes, and each class into a variety of weights and qualities. As a result of these differences in cattle prices, (due to differences in weights and meat qualities), there is a range of 15 cents in Swift & Com * pany’s selling prices of beef car casses. These facts explain: 1— Why retail prices vary in different stores. 2 Why it would be difficult to regulate prices of cattle or beef. 3 Why it requires experts to judge cattle and to sell meat, so as to yield the profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound —a profit too small to affect prices.
