ASK THE PURE FOOD INSPECTOR
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
the analysis of Our PRIMO FEED—protein
11.5, fat 3.5, fiber 9.5.

AUGUST.
Sea how tho sunlight slopes across the fluids.
Caressing all things with its mellow gold I
Soft shadows play amid the fragrant grass,
And down each green and dusky aislo the corn-
Holdaraystic converse with the wandering wind.
The bees aro crooning tender lullabies
To drowsy flowors, closing their sweet eyes.
With light o’ercome. The cheerful harmony
Of crickets that anticipate the night
Doth mingle with tho faint, fair melody
Of meadow larks that sing tnolr vesper songs.
And over all tho whlto~wlnged cloudlets float.
Like angels drifting through the summer sky.
Is it a semblance of that wondrous dream
Called Paradise, this solemn loveliness.
Or just tho gonius of an August day?

GOODDY & McELROY, 10 W. Washington st.
WOMEN’S PROPER PLACE.
Dorothy Dlx.
Every few days I get a letter from
some man who emits a wild and heart
broken wail because, he says, woman
has gotten out of her proper place.
Many of these melancholy gentlemen go
so far as to express the further opinion
that it is the business of the press to try
to shoo the feminine sex back to where
it belongs.
Speaking for myself, I should gladly
use what little influence I have with
women in trying to corral them in their
own particular little stockade if I only
knew where the sacred spot was.
What is woman’s proper place, any
how? Will some wise brother please
arise in meeting and Bpeak right out
and tell ub?
Is woman’s proper place the home?
None of us deny it, and the great ma
jority of women will answer the call in
person if you ring their front door bell.
But what about the tens of thousands
of women who have no home in which to
stay, whom no man has asked to marry
them, and who are fated to never know
the cling of little children’s arms about
their necks? It is all right to say,
Back to the home for yours, sister,”
to the woman who has got a good hus
band, and babies, and a cottage or a
flat of her own, but how are you going
to keep wompn in the domestic sphere
who have neither a kitchen, nor a nur
sery, nor a man of their own? I give
it up.
Is the woman who paints pictures,
or writes, or acts, out of her proper
place? I take it that when the good
God puts talent into a woman’s head
that He knew what He was about, and
that He intended her to use the gifts
He gave her. Otherwise it would be a
foolish waste of valuable material.
Certainly we should all be much
poorer if there had been no Rosa Bon-
heurs, no George Eliots, no Charlotte
Brontes, no MrB. Humphrey Wards, none
of the thousand delicate and facile fe
male pens that delight and entertain
us every day of our lives.
Is Maude Adams out of her sphere
when she makes us cry? Is Rose
Stahl out of her sphere when she makes
us laugh? Are Melba and Tetrazzini
and Cavallieri out of their places when
they lift us up to the seventh heaven
with their voices? Yet all of these
women occupy, conspicuous places and
are very much in public.
Evidently the men who complain of
women being out of their proper places
are thinking about the business women.
Is a clever, strong, healthy young girl
out of hqr place when she goes to work
,to support herself instead of sitting
down idly at home and adding to the
burden of a poor, weary, hump-should
ered old father, who has toiled like a
dray horse to raise his family and has
come alraoBt to the end of his strength?
Are the girls of a family who have
good busln&a positions and who bring
their money home to make an old
mother co portable and educate
younger brothers and sisters out of
their places during working hours?
, Ik the woman who is married to
man whose health friils out 62 her place
because she puts her shoulder to the
wheel and helps the domestic wagon
out of the ditch instead of letting it
sink down into the mire?
If you ask my opinion, I think that
every woman who needs money for her
self, or for her family, is exactly where
she ought to be when she is earning it
by her honest work. If the men of her
family can’t support her, there is no
reason why she Bhould not support her
self, and help them, too, if they need
it. For my part, 1 have never been
able to see why it isn’t just as femi
nine a thing, and as much in her line of
duty, for a woman to be a prop to a
man as it is to be a millstone about his
neck.
Is woman out of her place when she
belongs to clubs? Isn’t it woman’s
place to add to the sweetness ai)d light
of life, and haven’t the women's clubs
done more toward fostering the higher
education, beautifying towns, support
ing art galleries and picture shows, and
givipg the country a generally esthetic
“uplift, than all other causes combined?
Is the woman of wealth and intelli
gence and leisure out of her place when
she devotes her energies to public re
forms and charities? Where else would
we look for our great philanthropies?
Who would raise the money for our
hospitals, for our fresh-air funds,
for oar tuberculosis camps, for our
societies lor »h* prevention of cru
• ity to animals? There is not a com
munity in this country that hasn’t
some old maid or childless widow who
is its good Samaritan, and nobody ac
cuses ^er of being out of her proper
sphere; except the evildoers on whose
corns she treads.
There are those who contend that a
woman is out of her proper place—oh,
millions of mileB out out of it—when
she takes an interest in politics and
wants to vote. Why? Has she not as
much at stake in the country an any
man? Does she not pay as many
taxes? Ib she not affected by the laws
just as men are? If food prices ad
vance, does not the burden of making
the family income go further fall upon
her? If the streets are dirty and the
water supply impure, does she not have
to nurse her sick because of it; and if
they die, is not her heart broken over
their loss even more than any man’s?
How can she be out of her place when
considering the questions that are most
vital to JJer?
The truth is, there is no place in all
the wide .world that is not woman’s
place. First at the cradle and last at
the tomb, she pillows man’s head in
infancy on her breast, and kisses shut
his eyes when he dies, and there is no
hope, nq joy, no struggle, no labor, no
victory, no defeat in hiB life in which
her plgce is not always by his side.
It is Idle to talk about sending woman
back to her place. The earth is hers,
and the fullness thereof, just as much
as it is a'man’s.
ing Home Supplies.
Oconoe Enterprise.
If our farmers would only break
away from the all-cotton propaganda no
country <ir section in this vast universe
could compete with the South in fertili
ty of soil, variety of .production, or
richness of possibilities. Indeed, no
section is so bountifully nature-favored
as is Georgia and her sister States, eB<
pecially Georgia. Everything needful
for both man and beast can be success
fully produced here.
After aU is said and done, however,
for the benefit and encouragement of the
farmer, it rests finally with him to
bring about an equable condition of
farming operations, and the indications
point fact ttiat he is now awak
ening to a realization that the breakers
are just ahead—and oblivion just a lit
tle further away—for any farmer who
continues to buy dollar corn with cotton
which costs him at least nine cents to
produce.
This is the exact situation existing
to-day all over the State, and this pre
carious state of affairs will continue un
til all home needfulB are produced by
Georgia farmers on Georgia farms.
Point out the farmer who “lives at
home and boards at the same place”
and we will show you a farmer who not
only does not have to ask for credit or
a loan, but has money to advance to
his less provident neighbor. Summar
ized briefly: Raise your own supplies—
be your own banker. If the former
suggestion iB religiously adhered to, the
latter result will be a natural conse
quence.
The man who raises his own supplies,
making cotton a side issue, is in posi
tion to practically dictate the price to
be paid him for his fleecy staple; and if
he has an overplus of foodstuffs, well
and good. There will be opened to him
a ready market at living priceB for all
he can produce of corn, hay, oats and
wheat.
Wake up, Mr. Farmer; a golden har
vest dawn is upon us. Grasp the op
portunity, and share in the resultant
shekels that are due to shower upon you
when every farmer produces his own
supplies at home, and, instead of having
to buy, has something to sell.
Then will the South come into its
own!
“I just found out last night,” he
said, looking nervously at his watch
before he allowed the boys to order
'just one more before going home,”—
'that a man’s a fool to allow himself
to be henpecked.”
There was a general roar of laughter.
Then one of the men asked:
And how did you come to make that
startling discovery?”
Well, it was this way. My wife
was jumping on me something fierce,
and I couldn’t figure out how I de
served it. So I spunked up and said
‘Look here, why do you always pick on
me when yon're sore? Why don’t you
raise thunder with Albert once in
while?’ (Albert’s our youngest boy.)
‘Why,’ she says, ‘Albert wouldn 1
stand for it, that’s why!’ ”
Good Reason for fils Enthusiasm.
When a man has suffered for seyeral
days with colic, diarrhoea or other form
of bowel complaint and is then cured
sound and well by One 1 or two doses of
Cnamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar

but natural that he should be enthusi
antic in his praise of the remedy, and

Fred Douglas.
Ju. C.lluwny In Macon T«lesnu>h.
Rochester, New York, erected in hon
or of Fred Dougins a monument which
Btnnds in the little park near tho rail
road station. Douglas’ Arat wife waa a
negro woman, and is buried in Roches
ter. Hia sccondwifo waa Helen Pitta
(white), and her father was Gideon
Pitts, of Honeoye, Ontario county, New
York, and hia family waa the top of
Ontario aristocracy. The Pitts were
the blue bloods of Honeoye.
Gideon Pitta waa an extreme abolition-
iat—waa active in bringing on tho war,
and was a severe critic of the South af
ter the war. Pitta waa a Republican
politician and a member of CongreaB,
and there met Fred Douglas. He grew
fond of Douglas and the cause of the
negro, and had Douglas to visit him at
hia home in Honeoye. Pitta' son-in-law,
Mr. Short, esteemed it a great honor to
ride nine miles to the depot station to
meet the honorable Douglas and talk
politics and convey him to the Pitts
home. At the home Pitts and Short and
family discussed the "wrongs” of the
negro race.
Thus Miss Helen Pitts was brought
in contact with Douglas, who waB a
smart mulatto. Interested in her fath
er’s politics, she became interested in
Douglas, a member of the ‘"downtrod
den” race. But when Douglas asked
for the hand of Miss Helen old man
Pitts waa outraged—got msd —grew
hot in the collar, and swore his hospi
tality had been taken advantage of.
Douglas quietly insisted that he had
been recognized as a guest, honored as
one, and as such had won the affections
of Miss Helen, a woman 3G years of
age- and they married.
Gideon Pitts and son-in-law Short
never became reconciled. They cut
the acquaintance of Douglas and hia
white wife. The affair created nation
al gossip at the time. It was bo un
i indeed a noted exception. Pitts
disinherited hiB daughter and left to
Mrs. Pitts the portion intended for his
daughter. Pitts was for the negro, but
not at his own expense—the expense of
his family. After Pitts’ death the
mother gave the Bhare of the estate to
her daughter. After the death of Gid
eon Pitts, who survived Douglas, his
wife, Mrs. Pitta, went to Washington
and lived with her daughter, and died
there. When her body was brought
home, accompanied by her daughter
Helen, Short, the Bon-in-law, still un
reconciled, refused to make peace. It
was to him a stain that would not,wash
out. Yet Short was largely to blame.
He had received Douglas as a guest, a
social equal.
When DouglBs died his wife, Helen,
and the senB of Douglas by his negro
wife, accompanied the remains to Roch
ester, where Douglas was buried by
the side of his negro wife. Douglas and
Helen had no children. Douglas was an
educated negro and a great pet of the
Republicans of reconstruction days.
Gideon Pitta was an advocate of Thad
Stevens and his policies. He gloried in
Reconstruction and all it meant and
all it brought and wrought. But when
Douglas brought him to the acid test,
how he raged andfumedi Thad Stevens
practiced what he preached.
Indecent Fiction.
Omaha Boa.
The time has come for effective pro
test against the vicious tendency of
many Action writers to weave their
stories around immoralities and other
forms of, social delinquency.- They do
it, of course, because it : sells their
wares and makes it less difficult to get
publishers. I To what deplorable ends
have we come if offr' literature must
stand or fall solely upon Its money
making power, ignoring not only the
merit of writing, but the moral influ
ence as well? Are we headed toward
the time when salacious word-painting
shall determine the merits of "best
sellers? ”
The defense offered, of course, Is that
immora! characters and phases of life
have always formed a part of standard
Action; that some of the most revered
of the old authors dealt in them. So
they did, but for a wholly different
reason and in a totally different man
ner than the motive and method of to
day. The old writer made his vjllian
or immorality the pattern of vice to be
shunned, while the offending modern
author makes a pattern of virtue and
heroism. The former fletionist clothed
these characters in hateful attire; the
present-day writer makes them attrac
tive, alluring and, to the unwary, ac
ceptable.
Fixing the Blame.
Judffo.
"Yes,” said Mrs. Jenks, "on the
whole, Freddy an5 Kate take after
their father. -Of course Kate gets her
big brown eyes from me, and Freddy
his cute little roBebud mouth — the
Jenkses all have ungainly features—
but otherwise they’re their father’s
children.
“Of course, though, Freddy’s schol
arly tendencies come from my side of
the family. I always wbb among the
foremost in my class at Bchool. And
Katie absolutely cannot bo made to
vary a hair's breadth from the truth.
That trait, I suppose, she doeB get from
me—that and her ability to overlook
the faults of others, and her modesty.
She’s so neat and orderly, too. If
there’s one thing I never could tolerate
it’s disorderllnes8. Mr. Jenks used to
be so careless about throwing things
around that he nearly drove me wild.
"Freddy’s teacher says he shows
great promise in his piano study. His
father, Mr. Jenks, used to teach vio
lin, you know; but I think Freddy in
herits hiB talenta from a cousin of mine
who played the mandolin. He couldn’t
road tho notes, but really he was a
virtuoso.
“Katie seems real handy with needle
and thread, just as I waa. Why, I
could mBke doll dresses when I was 4.
You would die laughing to see how
eiumsy Mr. Jenks is when he mends his
socks. Katie’s so induBtrlous—she re
resembles me in that. Mr. Jenks is
really fearfully lazy. He grumbles be
cause he has to cook breakfast for him
self and the children.
“On the wholo, though, I think they
resemble their father. They’re bo irri
table at times when things don’t go
Bmoothly, just as he is. And Freddy’s
deceitful occasionally, and he makes
the most horrid faces. I’ve caught him
stealing jam, too. Of course, as I said,
some of their good qualities they inher
it from my side of the family, but
mostly 'they take after Mr. Jenks.
Children are an awful trial.”
The Empty Nest.
Macon Nowi.
You have found, in your walk in the
wood an empty neat. The mocUing-birfl
nestlings hod flown.
That nest was wrought with loving
care, with a wisp of straw, a few feath
ers from the mother’s awn breast, a
twig enlaced with hair, and one fine
morning with the sun they rose from
their nest and were gone.
Do they ever think of the empty nest?
Does there come a longing for the old
home when the day is done?
And this reminds us of anothorlempty
nest. We love it so—a group of nest
lings and a mother's love. Some fell
asleep; some flew away like tho little
mocking-birdB. We all love to think of
tho songs the children sung. We see
again, sometimes, the walls where the
pictured faces were. We dream of the
empty cradle, the old-time clock and
the rocking chair where we knelt to
lisp the evening prayer in the days long
gone. We see the blooming flowers, the
spreading trees, the droning bees and
the pond wo waded.
We cannot go to the place again, and
if we could there would be no baby
faces to greet us. Poor mother, tired
and wom, long sgo was borne away to
rest by tender hands. Home is like the
desolate nest left by the mocking-birds.
But there, at last, when life’s race Is
run, we would like to rest just at the
tired mocking-bird that seeks its old
home with the setting of the sun. Sure
ly angel spirits will be hovering near
the empty nests when the one-time
fledglings wing their way hack to the
haven fair.
