HE KEPT US OUT OF THE WAR
The Nation seems to have heeded the Democratic slogan that
zppealed to the mothers of the land and seemed to have its especial
effect upon the mothers, who by the law of their states, could give
their votes along with their prayers, for the sake of the boys who
might be drawn into the whirlpool of the world slaughter pens.
A glance at the result of the election thus far officially announc
ed shows that out ’of the twelve states which allow women to vote
Mr. Wilson and the policy of peace carried eight and Mr. Hughes
ane, with California and Oregon still to be heard from. The women
have saved the Democratic party in spite of itself, and the party will,
no doubt in gratitude for this great help by the women of the nation
reverse its position and give universal suffrage it.s;/cll-carncd recog
nition. The States to whose women voters we owe this opportunity
of rejoicing are: Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Wash
mgton, Arizona, Montana, and Kansas.

We, the undersigned, a commit
tee of three, having heen'appoint
ed by the Grand Jury at the Oct
ober term 1916 o*Ben Hill coun
ty superior court to investigate
the advisability of rebuilding the
Dorminey’s Mill Road, leading
from Dorminey’s Mill toward
Sturgeon Creek ' Baptist Church,
and particularly that portion run
ning across the lower end of the
Dickson Mill pond:
After a careful investigation,
we find that said road has been
duly and regularly legalized, same
having been done in 1885, and
we further find upon a thorough
mvestigation that said road is
necessary and convenient for a
great: number of citizens of said
county who go to said mill to
have their corn and wheat ground,
and forthe purpose of traveling.
We therefore recommend that
said road across the lower end of
said pond be rebuilt upon the fol
lowing terms and conditions: -
That you send tea or twelve of
the convicts, together with wheels
and mules and rebuild said road
across hte lower end of said pond.
It further appearing that M.
Dickson will be more benefitted
by said road being rebuilt than
any other citizen in said county,
and he having voluntarily offer
=d and agreed, if said road is re
built, to pay into the County
Treasury $150.00, we recommend
that said offer be accepted and as
soon as the work has been finish
ed upon said road, that he pay in
-1o the County Treasury of said
county, the sum of $150.00. an
Aagreemeat by the said Dickson to
pay said amount is attached to
this recommendation.

' When Boys Spoke:Pieces. =
In our own day the favorite pleces
for spouting on the platform were
“Spartacus to the Gladiators,” “'Cati-{
line’'s Defiance,” “The Seminole’s De
fiance” (beginning with “Blaze wlthl
your serried columns”), speeches from
“Julius Cadsar,” “The One Hoss |
Shay” and other poems of Holmes, |
The old reading books were wortb;
saving. Is the long winded comyarison
between tact and talent now to be
tound'pr any moral lesson by Jane
Taylor? lls Peter Pindar now amone
the schoolboy's poets? What torture
it was to speak. espoecially if parents
were invited (o be present! dne's‘«l
sr-lmg!mn!cs were far from heing sym
patleiic. They gleefully anticipated
Willie's breakinz down. They snicker

“ITow long is that orghiesira going to
play in the grill rcom?’ asked - the
nervous stranger in a hotel in a largns
city.
“For geveral more hours,” replied tho
clerk. “Do vou want to leave a call?”
“A what?"
“A ecall. Do you want us to wale
you up?”’

Chinese Theaters.
Many Chinese theaters charge no ad
mission, but depend entirely on the
profits from the sale of drinks and
food products. These playhouses are
on the ordar of cafes, tables being pro
vided and tea and native delicacies
served,
Not the Cook’s Fault.
Mistress—Really, Marie, whenever I
come into the kitchen I see you doing
nothing. Cook—You're right, mum.
You never have any luck, do you?—

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Gas In the Stomach.
Pain and a sense of fullness
andsuffocation are frequently due
to the presence of accumulated
gas, which has resulted from im
perfect digestion of food. 'The
Symptoms, as g rule, do not cause
distress until an hour or two
after bhaving eaten a meal. A
quick and ready remedy for this
condition is found in sodtum bi
carbonate, One teaspoonful of
the powder placed in a tumbler
and boiling water poured over it
(fill the tumbler with the water)
and sipped while hot until all of
the solution lis taken brings
about speedy belching and relief
from the pain. If one is fre
quently annoyed by such attacks
a laxative medicine should be
taken every morning upon rising.
A seidlitz powder is an excellent
laxative, when there is a tenden
cy to gas formation, or the citrate
of magnesia,
