You would not ask Hal Fisher or Dan Manget
to sell you 10-4-4 fertilizer at a price they
would ask for an 8-2-2. When you buy mixed
feed be sure and see what is on the tag—not
only the analysis, but the ingredients. On
some you will find “oat feed,’’ which is only
a fancy name for oat hull. Oat hull has no
feeding value whatsoever. You insist on a
feed high in protein and fat, and low in fiber.
If you do this, you will get a pure feed. Note

WHAT’S BEST.
There is many a rest in the raid of life.
If we only would atop to take it;
And many a tone front»the better land,
If the querulous heart, would wake it.
To the sunny soul that is full of hopo
And whose beautiful trust ne’er fallcth.
The Brass is green nnd the flowers are bright.
Though the wintry storm prevaileth. • -
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low.
And to keep the eyes well lifted;
For tho sweet blue sky will soon peep tl
When the ominous clouds are rifted.
There was never a night without a day.
Or an evening without a morning;
And tho darkest hour, as the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.

Doctors Use This tor Eczema
Dr. Evans, Ex-Commissioner of Health/
ays: “There is-almost no relation Jbe-j

The germs must bo washed out, and so
salves have long ago been found worth- 1

this country are now agreed on this, nnd

Dr. Holmes, the well known skin spe

Death of Col. Peter Francisco
Smith.
Atlanta Constitution, 10th inBt,
Peter Francisco Smith, one of the
oldest and one of the leading members
of the Atlanta Bar Association, a
wealthy real estate owner of Atlanta,
and a man who held the reputation of
being one of the best educated men in
Georgia, died yesterday morning at his
residence, 45 Forrest avenue, following
an attack of paralysis last Monday.
Funeral services will be held at 1
o’clock this afternoon at his late resi
dence, and the body will be taken to
Palmetto, Ga., for interment on a train
leaving here at 2 o’clock. The follow
ing members of the Atlanta legal pro
fession will attend as pall-bearers, and
have been requested to meet at Patter
son’s chapel half an hour previous to
the funeral: Samuel D. Hewlett, StileB
Hopkins, Harrison W. Jones, Hender
son Hallman, Harry Alexander and E.
F. Childress.
Mr. Smith Is survived by his wife
and three daughters, Mrs. J. lu Willi
ford, Mrs. Ludlow Jordan and Mrs. W.
H. Snelling, and two brothers, Dr. Ed
Lyndon of Athens, and Mr. A. O. Lyn
don of Atlanta. His wife was Miss
Nannie R. Hobbs, of Owensboro, Ky.,
a noted beauty, and daughter of one of
the oldest and proudest families in that
State.
’ Mr. Smith came to Atlanta twenty-
three years ago from Newnan and en
tered law practice here. He was suc-
1 cessful in this, and also in his ability to
purchase real estate that later became
exceedingly valuable. From these two
incomes he amassed a fortune that is
estimated at considerably over $100,000/
With his wealth 1 went a remarkably
simple taste and manner of . living, and
m ich of his money was spent in philan
thropic work, of which few outside of
his close friends ever knew.
As a man of classical education and
wide reading he was surpassed by few
if any Georgians. He was devoted to
reading the bible, and read it in Greek,
Latin and French as well as English.
He once stated that he preferred to
read the French version of the Holy
Book, and kept a copy in hiB office to
read from time to time during the day.
In 1861 Mr. Smith, who at the time
of his death was nearly 70 years old,
was a member of' the junior class at
Emory College, in the spring of that
year he enlisted in the Confederate
army, with practically every student at
Oxford. As a member of the Seventh
Georgia regiment he did valiant service
for the South.
At the close of the war he entered
the University of Virginia, where he
graduated in law. There he waB one
of the founders of the Alpha Tau Ome
ga fraternity, and during his lifetime
took an active interest in the order.
His scholarship and talents soon
made him a notable figure among a
company of men which included the
late Henry W. Grady and others after
wards distinguished. At the University
of Virginia he took every medal and
prize offered for debate, as he had done
while he was a student at Emory.
Soon after the war, when Emory was
reorganized, the .class of 1862, of which
he had been a member, was given their
degrees by action of the trustees.
In after life Mr. Smith became noted
for his philanthropic work. In all,
there were twenty-one young men who
were known as his proteges, and to
whom he gave the advantage of study
ing law under his tutelage. The most
noted of these is Frank Clark, now a
member of Congress from Florida.
Congressman Clark was exceedingly
poor as a boy, as were most of the oth
ers whom the philanthropist educated,
and his start in life, he afterwards de
clared, was due entirely to the Atlanta
lawyer.
One woman also read law in his office
and remained with him as a law clerk
for many years. She is Mrs. C. L. Bo-
vard, of 349 Courtland street. The
Georgia law prevents her from entering
the praciioe of her profession.
To many of Mr. Smith’s acquaint
ances in Atlanta the announcement that
he was a man of wide philanthropy will
come as a distinct surprise, according
to Mrs. Bovard’s statement last night,
for Mr. Smith was exceedingly different
in one way from the greater part of the
world which aids its neighbors. He
avoided publicity all his life, and never
liked to discuss with anyone the work
he was doing for those who needed
help.
At one time Mr. Smith desired to en
ter public life, and ran for Congress.
He tied with his opponent, and finally,
after three or four days’ delay in count
ing the ballots, he withdrew his name.
It was the one serious disappointment
of his life, he afterward declared, but
in later years he stated that he was
glad that it happened that way, since
as a public man he could never have
done the charitable work that he did.
In later years he devoted himself to
extinsive reading, and wrote several
essays and books. One of them Is a
remarkably clear treatise on the use of
words.
Of the relation between men and wo
men in Germany I long ago came td the
conclusion that this is a subject best
left to the scientific explorer. It iB,
however, open to the casual observer
to comment upon the monstrous per
centage of illegitimacy in Berlin, twen
ty per cent., or one child out of every
five, born out of wedlock; fourteen per
cent, in Bavaria; and ten per cent, fer
the whole empire. This alone tells a
sad tale of the. attitude of the men and
women toward one another. There is a
long journey ahead of the women who
propose to lift their sisters on to a plane
above tho animals in this respect. In the
matter of divorce Prussia comes fourth
in the list of European nations.—Price
Collier in Scribner’s Magazine.
A Message to Railroad Men.
E. S. Bacon, 11 Bast street, Bath,
Me., sends out this warning to rail
roaders everywhere: “My work as con
ductor caused a chronic inflammation of
the kidneys and I was miserable and all
played out. From the day I began tak
ing Foley's Kidney Fills I began to re
gain my. strength, and I am better now
than I have been for twenty years.”

Highest anil Lowest Points in
World.
The maximum difference in elevation
of land in the United States is 14,777
feet, according to the United States
Geological Survey. Mount Whitney,
the highest point, is 14,501 feet above
i level, and a point in Death Valley
is 276 feet below sea level. These two
points, which are both in California, are
less than 90 miles apart. This differ
ence is small, however, as compared
with the figures for Asia. Mount Ever
est rises 29,002 feet above sea level,
whereaB the shores of the Dead Sea are
1,290 feet below sea level, a total dif
ference in land heights of 30,292 feet.
Mount Everest has never been climbed.
The greatest ocean depth yet found
is 32,088 feet, at a point about 40 mile*
north of the island of Mindanao, in the
Philippine iBlandB. The ocean bottom
at this point is, therefore, more than
lli miles below the summit of Mouht
Everest.
The difference in the land heights in
Europe is about 15,868 feet.
SYMPTOMS OF CONSOMPnON
Yield to Vinol.
The medical profession do not be
lieve that consumption Is inherited,
but a person may inherit a weakness
or tendency to that disease.
A prominent citizen of Evansville,
Ind., writes: “I was 111 for flvs
months with pulmonary trouble, and
had the best of dootors; I had hemorr
hages and was In a very bad way.
Through the advice of a friend I tried
Vinol, and I feel that It saved my
life. It is ajl you recommend it to
be. I believe it is the greatest medi
cine on earth. I have advised others
to try Vinol, and they have had tho
Barae results.” (Name furnished on
request.)
Vinol soothes and heals the inflamed
surfacea and . allays the cough. Vinol
creates an appetite, strengthens the
digestive organs and gives the patient
strength to throw off incipient pulmo
nary diseases.
Try a bottle of Vinol with tho un
derstanding that your money will ba
returned if it does not help you.
