NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FIR I) A Y , J U N E 25. j ONE DOLLAR A YEAR IN ADVANCE. I What We Drink. Philadelphia Record. Once a year The American Grocer tell* us what we drank the previous twelve months. We drink a lot. We don't drink quite so much as some oth er people*, but we drink pretty liberal ly, and the statistic* give little indica tion of the tidal wave of total absti nence that is supposed to he sweeping over the country. In fact, the tidal wave seems to be beer, with a little whinkey and wine on the side. Last year The American Grocer com putes that we spent a little more than a billion dollars for beer, $b<19,000,000 for distilled drinks and $128,000,(Ml for wines. The sum of the three items is just under a billion and three-quarters. In 1913 the sum spent was a little greater, hut not much importance can be attached to a decrease of 2.3 per cent. There are always small fluctua tion* from year to year. The tea, coffee and cocoa cost about • quarter of a billion. In round fig ures we spend about two billions a year for drinks, of which seven-eighths is for alcoholic beverages and one-eighth for cup* which cheer, but not inebriate. The coat comes to about $20 a year for each person, male and female, old and young, and as the adult males do most «f the alcoholic drinking, and a good many of them drink nothing, or very sparingly, it is not an unreasonable in ference that a great many men drink very much more than is good for them. The economic significance of the fig ures is aboat as important as the moral significance. Of the two billions a year it is not unreasonable to assume that one billion and a half is the cost of drinks that are of little or no food value, and that are not even food rel shers, taken with meals. An expenditure of $100 a year per family, far the greater part of which is merely the indulgence of an appetite, has a very considerable bearing on the material welfare of the country. During the five years 1010 14 the per capita consumption of spirits varied be tween 1.42 and 1 50 gallons, the quan tity reaching its maximum in 1913. The per capita consumption of wirie varied from two-fhirds to a little over one-half gallon, but here there Beems to have been u nearly continuous de cline. In only one of the five yeurB did the tier cnpila consumption of malt li quor drop below 20 gallons, and then only by a very minute fraction The figure for 1914 was higher than in any of the previous four years, except 1911. The consumption is very constant at a fra ctiun over 20 gullnns. When it is considered that these fig ures are bused upon the entire popula tion, three-quarters of which consists of women and children, and that a good many men do not drink at all, and oth ers only drink with their meals, the fig ures are impressive, to say the least. The per capita consumption of dis tilled and mult liquors and wines in 1914 was higher than in Hny preceding year, except 1907 and 1911, und while the per capita consumption of spirits has de clined from 2.24 gallons in 185(1 to 1 4(i gallons in 1914, there has been a very large increa.-e in the consumption of malt liquors in 04 years. In recent years the consumption of distilled li quors shows no tendency to be dis placed by beer.

Investigation proves it true Below i« a ststt ment of a Newnan resi dent. No stronger proof of merit can be bad, T. C. Cook, 17 Carmichael St., New nan, says: "A spell of Grippe weak ened my kidneys and 1 suffered from a constant ache in the small of my back.

Foster-Milburn Co Props., Buffalo, N, Y. Need of Capital Punishment. Savannah Newa. Special interest is felt in the State in the effort that is being made in Tennessee to abolish capital punish ment, except for certain crimes, be cause of the probability that an effort will be made to abolish it in Georgia at the approaching session of the State Legislature. Governor Rye vetoed the bill passed by the Tennessee Legisla ture, although it provided that death should continue to he the penalty for rape, and for murder if committed hy a person serving a life sentence in the penitentiary, arid said in his message, "To remove from the statute books the death penalty would in my judg ment increase crime and encourage mob law. The death penalty in Ten nessee as punishment for crime is rare ly meted nut to criminals, but there iH it serves to prevent that no doubt crime." At this time, when wide movement there is a very to improve conditions under which convicta serve their terms, when it is so often ssid that the pur pose of their sentences is not so much punishment as their reformation, it probably is not amiss that the govern or of a State finds in the death penalty a deterrent of crime. That penalty of course is punishment simply, so far as the man who suffers is concerned. Men cannot be reformed after they are dead. The fact that the bill that Governor Rye vetoed retained death as the punishment for rape Bhows that sentiment in Tennessee has not yet reached the point where it would countenance any but the severest punishment for that crime, and it is doubtful it the Georgia Legislature will for many years, if it ever does, pass a bill doing away with capital punish ment altogether. The danger of mob violence would be increased if the limit of punishment for crime was life imprisonment. There is no sympathy for the man who wanton ly takea that which is dearer than life, and there should be none. He deserves nothing better than death, but he de serves it at the hands of the State and not of an irresponsible mob. And bo, as long as men like him commit their terrible crimes, there ought to be capi tal punishment. The theory lhat juries are loath to convict men of murder because they do not wish them to be hanged is weak, because in Georgia a jury that wishes can prevent the sentencing to death of the man at whose trial it sits. The truth in, it is not the death penalty that causes so many juries to free men with lilood on their hands, but the lack of a stern, juBt public sentiment that puts u high value on human life. It is lolly to say that the juries value life so highly that they refuse to return verdicts of guilty of murder in the first degree when, by their habit of turning Blavers loose, they decrease the value of tile. Bilious Attacks. When you have a bilious attack your liver fails to perform its functions. You become constipated. The food you eat ferments in your stomach instead of digesting. This inflames the stomach and causes nausea, vomiting and a ter rible headache. Take Chamberlain’s Tablets, They will tone up your liver, clean out your stomach, and you will soon be us well as ever. They only cost a quarter. Obtainable everywhere. He Desired It. A boy walked into the office of the telegraph company at Chicago and asked for a job, relates the Kansas City Star He said his name was Missouri. ” The mBnBger happened to want a messenger boy just at that moment and gave him a message that had to oh de livered in a hurry, "Here's your chance, my boy," said the manager, "these people have been kicking about undelivered messages. Now, don’t come back until you have delivered it." A little while afterward the tele phone rang. On the other end of the wire there appeared to be an office building watchman, somewhat terrified. Have you got a boy they call 'Mis souri?' " inquired the watchman. We did have ten minutes ago,” re plied the manager. The watchman continued: "That ‘Missouri’ feller came over here and said he had to go to one of the offices. We don’t allow no one up at that office at this hour and 1 told him he couldn't go." Yes, yes,” said th_* manager. Well,” said the watchman, “he said he would go, and I had to pull my gun on him." "But you didn't shoot him?” ex- claimed the manager. "No," meekly came back the re sponse over the wire, "but 1 want my gun back." The Higher Patriotism. John Grier Hibben. Mme. De Stael has said that “the patriotism of nations ought to he selfish." This must be interpreted, however, wi h certain limits And it is the office of the higher patriotism to define and to transcend these limits. As no individual dare live unto him self, so also no nation dare live unto itself: it fails to fulfill its destiny if it is wholly self-centered and self- absorbed. But is it natural to love a stranger and an alien as we love our own kin and kind? Most assuredly it is, if we are discriminating as regards the sense in which we use the word "love." The word indeed has two quite dis tinct meanings. There is the love which is identified with affection — that affection which is bred in in timate intercourse and community of interests and desires. It is the love we cherish for the inner circle of fami ly and friends. There is, however, an other sense in which we UBe the term love.” It is in this sense that we a-e exhorted to love our neighbor as ourselves — nay, to love even our enemies. This type of love is quite another matter. It signifies a certain attitude toward all mankind, showing itself in a two-fold manner in a dis position to respect every man’s rights and a willingness to minister to his needs. “To do justice, to love mercy,” these are cardinal doctrines both of re ligion and morality, according to the old Hebrew prophet. It iB easier to obey the first than the Becond of these commands. It is easier to respond to the appeal—especially when it comes to us at a time of calamity and wide spread suffering—to love those in dis tress and to give them true sympathy and substantial aid, than it is to main tain both the spirit and the letter of justice in our dealings with those who are not in distress and who neither aak nor need help of us. Nevertheless, the love of our fellow-men is only a name, and therefo e a mockery, unless it recognizes and respects the law of just and fair dealing, not only be tween man and man, bnt between nation and nation as well. Home-Making. Youth's Companion. A home is not merely a house; it is | an atmosphere, a feeling. It is a place \ of beloved associations, where you can wear old clothes, and think old t’-oughts, and hear familiar vioces with out hearing them You can be happy there, and be comfortably unhappy, he thoroughly unpleasant even, and know that those you love will think no leSB of you than they do already. Luxury cannot make a horn -, nor can books, or pictures, or rugs, or bric-a-brac. A cat, a canary, two geraniums, a bible and an old rocking-chair may make one of the loveliest homes in the world At the same time, a home is not neces sarily happy because it is the hou9“ of poverty, aB some would have us be lieve. The art of creating home atmos phere is wholly the art of woman, and she has none more charming. Mere care will not do it, or mere neatness and tidiness; indped, those thingB sometimes work the other way. The love of prettiness will not do it; good cooking will not do it, although it is a mighty help. Even being gay and merry and kindly yourself is not quite enough, although it helps even more than the co king. Success in home making, as in everything else, re quires that you shall feel a real joy in your work. If it is a drag, if it is an irksome duty, you cannot make home what it should be. Not that the home maker should think of nothing else. That iB neither desirable nor possible. But the woman whose first pleasure is to create that beautiful thing, home, will be a precious and permanent in fluence not only to her own family, but to all her household, to all her guests, to the whole community in which she lives. A man who is tied to his v strings certainly isn't fast. ife s apron Greatly Benefited by Chamberlain's Liniment. ”1 have used Chamberlain’s Liniment for sprains, bruises and rheumatic pains, and the great benefit I have received justifies my recommending it in the nighest terms,” writes Mtb. Florence Slife, Wabash, Ind. If you are troubled with rheumatic pains you will certainly be pleased with the prompt relief which Chamberlain's Liniment affords. Ob tainable everywhere. A Prayer for Women Who Toil. Walter RauschenbuBch. O God, we pray thee for our sisters who are leaving the ancient Bhelter of the home to earn their wage in the factory and thesttre, amid the press of modern life. Save them from the strain of unremitting toil that would unfit them fur the holy duties of home and motherhood which the future may lay upon them. Give them grace to cherish under the new surroundings the old sweetness and gentleness of wo manhood, and in the rough mingling of life to keep their hearts pure and their lives untarnished. Save them from the terrors of utter want. Teach them to stand loyally by their sisters, that by united action they may better their common lot. If it must be so that our women toil like m.’n, help us still to reverence in them the mothers of the future. But make us determined to shield them from unequal burdens, that the women of our nation be not drained of strength and hope for the enrichment of a few, lest our homes grow poor in the wifely sweetness, motherly love, which have been the saving strength and glory of our country. To such as yearn for the love and sovereign freedom of their own homes grant in due time the fulfill ment of their sweet desires. By Mary the beloved, who carried the world's re demption in her bosom; by the memory of our own dear mothers who kissed our souls awake; by the little daugh ters who must soon go out into that world which we are now fashioning for others, we beseech thee that we may deal aright by all wemen. Not for Men Only. Foley’s Cathartic Tablets are not as insistently demanded by women as by men, because this particular cathartic is not so well known among women.

Foley's Cathartic Tablets are wholesome and thoroughly cleansing; do not gripe or cause nausea. Stout people say this is the one cathartic that takes away that over-full and ;logged-up feeling. J. F.

The barber|was very bu9y and the shop was full of men waiting for him to practice his tonsorial art upon their heads and faces.

Although his beard had come out pretty heavy, he thought no one would notice it and that he could come hack the next morning when the barber was not so very busy. The barber, not wishing a customer to go away unattended to, accosted him by saying; "You're not leavin’ us, is you, Mr. Blank?” Mr. Blank felt of his face and re plied: “Why, I don't need a shave, do I?” Thereupon the barber looked his customer over critically and answered him assuredly: "No, you don’t need a shave; all you needs is a hair-cut on de face.” A Mistake Made by Many.

Little Jack was inordinately proud of the big round badge which his father had brought home from the automobile show, according to the Literary Digest. It had a picture of a famous auto mobile on one side, and a motto in large golden letters on the other. He wore it to Sunday-school. The pastor walked down among the “scholars,” smiling upon each bright faced little boy and girl, after the time- honored fashion of pastors on such er rands bent. The badge on the little boy’B coat caught his eye. “Ah, my Bon, what have you there?” “That’s my golden text,” answered Jack eagerly, beaming like a Chessy- Cat. “Your golden text? That’s very nice indeed. And what does it say?” Little Jack held it up for inspection.
