means the worst kind of bondage. They

if shame arid embarrassment count in

Get after that word FREE. Every

and delusion and no concern in busi¬

used it. It’s a fraud on the face of it
and none realize that fact as quickly
as the man who has paid his money
and lost his goods.
Stick to the merchants of your own
town. They will give you a fair shake
and are neighborly enough to take
care of you if you tell that you are up
against it.
And we might add at the very begin¬
ning they will give you value received
for your money. And if the goods are
Imperfect or unsatisfactory they'll
take them back.

AUTO GUIDE READY
Motorists who are planning vacation
tours during the summer months will
be pleased to know’ that the 1923 As¬
sociated Tours Guide, the official road
book compiled and published by The
Automobile Club of America, is now
ready for distribution.
By following the carefully selected
itineraries and clearly defined road
maps with which the Guide’s 104 pages
are filled summer vacationists are en¬
abled to tour by motor through the
most charming sections of the East¬
ern United States and Canada to sea¬
side, mountain and counrty resorts.
A11 tours in the Guide are compiled
with a view to scenic charm; the roads
mapped are the best stretches of hard
highway that the country affords.
For transcontinental motor tourists
there is a double page Atlantic to Pa¬
cific road map showing the several
routes across the United States, ac¬
companied by complete itineraries for
this increasingly popular trip. For
those visiting the New England coun¬
try there is a map of the recently
adopted road marking system. A large
folding road map of the entire country
east of Chicago accompanies the Guide.
A feature of the Associated Tours
Guide that motorists particularly ap¬
preciate is that the itineraries are ar¬
ranged to allow’ for logical stopping
Places at the end of each day’s run at
tow'ns where accommodations may be
readily secured. Synopses of state mo¬
tor laws, ferry schedules, and lists of
good hotels and garages also go to in¬
crease the Guide’s usefulness to the au
tomobilist.
For the accommodation of car own
ers the Guide will be distributed
through local news dealers, bookstores
and drug stores in all parts of the coun¬
try or may be obtained by remitting
fifty cents to cover cost and postage to

DOGS SHOULD BE
KEPT OFF THE STREETS
The Union Recorder has in its issues
recently recorded where persons in this
and county have been bitten by
mad dogs, and it has been necessary to
use the Pasteur treatment, as a precau¬
tion against that dreaded disease hy¬
There has been no precautionary
measures taken here to protect our
people from this danger. There are
of worthless dogs running the
streets of the city, and there is no tell¬
ing when one of them w’ill develop hy¬
and the children and grojwn
people as well, become victims of the
The trouble is the danger is always
and one is taken unawares,
for a mad dog in every mstance makes
his appearance suddenly and unex¬
pectedly, and one becomes a victim to
bite.
There should be some measure taken
at once to keep the dogs off of the
streets. If a owner of a dog does not
think enough of him to keep him con¬
fined at home, he should be compelled
to muzzle him.
We urge that some definite and pos¬
.steps be taken to rid this city of
the worthless dogs, and give the prop¬
er protection to the chlidren and citi¬
zens of Milledgev ilia. —< MiUedgeville

HABIT
The little word “habit,” traced to
its source means to have. This defini¬
tion does not imply that it is some¬
thing a person has, so much as it sig¬
nifies something that has a person. It
is usually thought of as being bad, but
it need not be so classified. Whether
bad or good, it is universally conceded
to be a mighty power.
A bad habit, like the toothache, in¬
voluntarily solicits our attention. It
creeps upon us as stealthily and as
painfully, and often is harder to eradi¬
cate. The tooth may be filled with a
good, hard substance, or it may have to
be pulled out by the roots. So the evil
habit may be overcome by splicing in
right actions, or it may be necessary to
cut loose from it entirely.
The north star is no more steadfast¬
ly fixed in the heavens than are habits
firmly attached to human beings. The
only reason people go on doing thr
things they do from day to day, is that
they are in the habit of doing them.
From psychology, the science of be
havior, w r e learn that a person can givei
his attention to only one thing at a
time. It follows, then, that living is
largely a product of customary action;
w’hile we center our minds on some
particular object, we unconsciously do
many other things. Think for a mo¬
ment how’ little we could accomplish
if every day w’e had to learn anew' how
to dress ourselves, how to use a knife
and fork, or how to read and W’rite.
Habits are indispensable—that is.
good ones are. We can and should dis
pense with those that conscience and
experience condemn; this we may do
by following the line of most resist¬
ance until it becomes the easiest and
happiest course. Then it will be natural
to do the right thing always, and w r e
know that habits of truth and justice
have taken possession of our wills.
