NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FRIDAY. JULY 30 ONE DOLLAR A IN AUVANCa. YEAR Dual Nationality. Youth’* Companion. Not long ago a citizen of New Or leans nuked the State Department whether it could protect him from being called on for military aervice in France if, aa aeemed to him necessary, he should go there on business. The man was burn in this country, but bis father, who came from France, did not become a naturalized citizen of the United Staten until his son had attained his majority. Toe State Department could only tell him that the French code holds "every person born of a Frenchman in France or abroad" to be aj citizen of France, and if a male, liable to military service. The case attracted wide attention. Ex- President Roosevelt, in discusiting it, declared that it is time for our Govern ment to repudiate the doctrine of dual nationality. But that is by no means a simple matter. In our diplomatic archives there are volumes filled with corres pondence and negotiations that have grown out of cases like this one, and there is small likelihood that the na tions will Boon come to an understand ing. The American contention is itself glaringly inconsistent. We hold that children born of foreign parents on American soil are born American citi zens; that is, that the place of birth de termines the nationality; but we do not permit the rule to work both ways. We say, "All children born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, whoso futhers may be at the time of their birth citizens thereof, are declared to be citizens of the United States.” That is exactly the French law by which the resident of New Or leans, whom we regard as an American citizen because he was born here, is claimed by France because he was born before hia French father was natural ized here. The present war will bring up new problems of citizenship, lor there are thousands of American citizens, both native-born and naturalized, now in the ranks of the belligerents. Under our laws they forfeited their Amencun citi zenship when they look the oath of al legionce to the flag under which they are fighting. It is uncertain whether that oath in itsvlf makes them citizens of the State they are Bcrving, or wheth er, to be citizens, they must also com ply with its naturalization luws; but Bluet! it ewers their citizenship ins with the United Slates, it makes them in a sense men without a country. Yet presumably it is the intention of most of them to return to this country, if they survive the war. — - ——- ..' — Benefited by Chamberlain's Lini ment.

Years ago there was a young couple who had determined to start their married life with the good religious customs of their old homes, where fsmily prayers were held every night. They began all right, but one night, alter they hud been in the new house for a week, a severe electrics! storm came up just us the little aervice started. Ab the storm in creased the young woman shivered and shook with girlish fear, while the hus band calmly read to the end of a long chapter, and then, kneeling beside his chair, began praying fervently, wholly oblivious to the flash and crush of the storm without. Finally rising, he looked about for hia new wile. She was nowhere to be seen. But the old-fashioned leather- bed in the corner of the room was all in a heap, and a choked voice from within it gasped out: "I’m—I'm glad you could pray, dear est, but—out —1 thought maybe the feathers would help too!" An Easterner who had bought a farm in California had heard of his neighbor's talent for raising large potatoes, so sent his tsrui bund over to get a hun dred pounds. “Vou go back home,” answered the talented farmer to the messenger, "and tell your ho-s that I won’t cm a potato far anyone.” And No Wonder 1 Youth'* Companion. Joseph attended school in one of the Isrger cities of the Central States. One day, having vexed his room teacher by misconduct, he was sent into the hall to wait until Hhe had time to correct him. One of his departmental instructors came along, and aeeing him in the hull said. "Joseph, you mustn't be loitering in the halls. Go to your room and re port to your teacher!” Joseph raised his hand to explain, but she Baid, "Put your hand down and go into your room at once!" Joseph had just slipped into his seat when his room teacher saw him. "Joseph, 1 sent you into the hall to re main until I came. What are you doing in here?" Joseph raised his hand to explain "Put your hand down and go into the hall at once!” Joseph returned to the hall, but again met his departmental instructor. "Joseph, I thought I sent you to your room!" Hhe exclaimed. "Either go into your room or down into the yard.” The room teacher, going into the hall u few minutea later, could not find Joseph. Thin\ing he had gone to the yard, she followed him. "I told you to remain in the hall until 1 came !” she angrily exclaimed. "You may go and report to the principal.” Joseph again raised his hand to explain. "Put your hand down and go to the principal at once!" The principal was quite busy and did not wish to be bothered, so whei Joseph opened the doo , she said, "Well, Joseph, have you been a bad boy again? Go to your room and be have yourself!" Again Joseph raised his hand to explain. "Put your hand down," she said, "and go to your room at once and behave, as I told you.” Joseph, who was in tearB by this time, did not go to the room, but went instead to that of the primary teacher, who was quite a friend of his. "Why, Joseph, what is the matter?” asked his friend. Dashing the tears from his eyes, he said, ‘ ‘I’m degusted— being made a fool of by them teachers!" The distinguished and well-beloved bishup of a certain Southern State is so absent-minded that his family is al ways apprehensive for his welfare when he is away from them. Nut lung ago, while making a jour ney by rail, the bishop wub unable to find his ticket when the conductor asked for it. "Never mind, bishop,” said the con ductor, who knew him well, "I'll get it on my second round.” However, when the conductor passed through the cur again, the ticket was still missing. "On, well, bishop, it will be all right if you never find it!” the conductor as suit'd him. "No, it won’t, my friend,” contra dicted the bishop. "I've got to find that ticket. I want to know where I’m going."—Youth’s Companion. Some time ago Brown rushed into the kitchen where his wife was bossing the preparation of the evening hash. In one of his fists he was holding his other hand, while a cussy expression was floating over bis features. "Whero is that antiseptic salve, Minnie?" he demanded. "That in fernal parrot of yours has bitten a chunk out of my hand!" "What’s that, Jimmy!" exclaimed wifey, with a look of concern. "Do you mean to say that he bit a piece all the wuy out of your hand?” "That’s what he did," answered James. "Clean as a whistle. Where did you say that salve was?" "Oh, Jimmy,” returned wife in a com plaining voice, "I do wish you would be more careful. You know the bird dealer told me not to let that parrot taste meat under any circumstances." A good sport is the man who not only grins and hears defeat, but also endures a triumph without too much grinning. He is the fellow who is con siderate of the other fellow's feelings, und is always ready and willing to lend a hand to a le s fortunato brother. He is the fellow who would scorn to take advantage of any chunce unfairly pre sented to him. He is frank and above board in all things and does not try to shift the blame where it does not be long. When at work he puts his best into the work, and when al play he al ways plays fairly. He can always be depended upon to do what is set before him to the best of his ability. A good sport is the kind of fellow everyone should be. "Phwat a lovely baby yez hov, Fla herty. An’ hov ytz had his pictur’ took yit?" "Not yit," said Dugan, the proud father. "We tried ut, but afther an hour's lost wur-rk th' photygraphe re ferred us to a movin' pictur' studio." It's hard to impress the public with the sincerity of your religion if you n-ver attend church except the Sunday after purchasing a new costume. ELUSIVE LIGHTNING. On* of Nature's Greatest and Molt Ef- ♦ective Dramatic Actors. During a thunder storm we get an Inkling of how fearfully and wonder fully the universe In which we lire is made and wliat energy mid activity its apparent passivity and opacity mark. A Hush of lightning out of a storm cloud seems instantly to transform the whole passive universe Into a terrible living power. If we were to see and hear it for the first lime, would we not think that the Judgment day had really collie> That the great seals of the hook of lute were being brokenV What on awakening It Is'. What >l revelation! What n fearfully dramatic actor suddenly leaps upon the stage! Had we been permitted to look liehlnd the scenes, we could not have found him; he was not there, except, poten tially; he was horn Hnd equipped In a twinkling. One stride, and one word which shakes the house, nnd lie Is gone; gone ns quickly ns he came. Look be hind the curtain nnd lie 1s not there. He lias vanished more completely Ilian any stage ghost over vanished— lie has withdrawn Into the Innermost recesses of the atomic structure of matter, nnd Is diffused through the clouds, to ho called hack again, ns the elemental drama proceeds, ns suddenly as before. All matter Is charged with electricity, either actual or potential; the sun Is hot with It. nnd doubtless our own heartbeats, our own thinking bruins, are Intimately related to It; yet It Is pnlpnblc nnd visible only In this sudden nnd extraordinary way. It. defies our nnnlysls, It defies our definitions; It Is Inscrutable and Irapondernble, yet It will do our errands, light our houses, cook our dinners nnd pull our loads. JIow humdrum nnd constant nnd pro- sale the other forces—gravity, cohesion, chemical ntfiulty and capillary attrac tion—seem when compnred with this force of forces, electricity. How deeply nnd quietly It slumbers at one time, how terribly active It becomes at an other, bellowing through the heavens like, an Infuriated nnd destroying god! —John Burroughs In Harper’s Maga zine. USE SENSE IN EATING. A Person May Be Fat and Still Lack Proper Nourishment. The majority of people do not under stand that a person may be fat. exces sively fat. and still he underfed nnd weak from lack of proper nourish ment. One may eat to excess of starch foods, hot breads, oils nnd sweets and ns a result lie rolling In fat nnd at the same time show a severe ease of mal nutrition. evidenced by lack of strength In muscular effort or rnentnl concentra tion. The system needs these foods, for they nre known ns the “fuel foods” be cause they furnish the body heat, but the system also needs nn abundance of the very elements of which the hotly or, rather, the muscular fiber Is composed. These muscle making foods are fresh meat, eggs nnd milk, fresh vegetables and fruits. If one is In the hnlilt of cntlng rath er henrtlly of mixed diet nnd Is grow ing fat upon It. then reduce the amount of sweets, starches nnd fats, nnd you will find plenty of nourishment In the muscle building foods. In addition to attention to diet, how- over, attention must he paid to the need of fresh air nnd exercise If one would keep from becoming too fnt If you would have a good figure practice deep breathing nnd exercise In ad dition to cutting down on your diet.

Youth'* Companion. Mr. Jeptha Wade, a well-known Cleveland man, has a winter home at Thomssville, Ga. One of his sons is an amateur balloonist, and occasionally makes an ascent from Thomaaville. If the family fail to hear promptly from him, they set forth in d motor car and search until they find him. One day, when the roads were slip- peij with mud, the automobile skidded and Blid part way down a bank. It brought up without damage BgainHt a large tree. Mr. Wade could not get it back on the road, and appealed for help to a farmer ploughing in the field be low. The farmer hitched hia team to the front axle, and soon pulled the car out of trouble. Mr. Wade looked back, and said, “That tree Baved us from a bad acci dent; if, it had -not been there, we should have turned over and been badly hurt." "Yea, suh," drawled the farmer, ‘ that ccrt’nly is a useful tree! This mornin' a young feller in a balloon got stuck in it,(and I had to h’isthim out." "Why, that was our son!” exclaimed both Mr. and Mrs. Wade excitedly. The farmer looked at them for a mo- mentjwith allpuzzed expression; then his face lighted up with a smile, and he said: "I reckon you folks would find life easier if you„was to stay home more. ” North Carolina’s drastic prohibition laws are being threatened seriously by a new “pizen” invented by the sons of Hyde county. It is a substitute for corn liquor called "meal beer,” or "rip gizzard," and is highly intoxicating. It is said to have the far-famed "licker” which makes a jack rabbit spit in a bull-dog's eye looking like a dose of soothing syrup. The recipe calls for a peck of meal, ten pounds of sugar and two or three pounds of dried apples. Five gallonsjof water are added, and the concoction is set back of the stove or in the sun to ferment. In a few days it has "worked," and is then drawn off ready for the consumer. Ne groes are making great quantities of "rip gizzard.” Statistics for the year 1914-15 as to waning exports of agricultural machin ery from the United States indicate the extent to which one of the largest of the national industries has been affected by the interruption of peace. PundB that formetly were put into plows, binders and reapers are now going into cannon, and harvests that might have been gathered with ingeniously devised labor-saving machinery will now be garnered in primitive ways by women, veteran men and prisoners of war. Thus is obscured that vision of the day when implements of war were to be turned into implements of agriculture. But It is coming, nevertheless! Round Trip Fares via Central of Georgia Railway.
