According to Mrs. S. J. PurtelL 1 Ident of the Gordon circle, there Is onfy one ton Of coal now at the home. During the winter ten and a half ton* have been used, and more will be need ed before the winter ends. There Is at present only $11.37 In the treasury, with provisions to last about six weeks. The circle has $S,000, which has been contributed for the purpose of-erecting a new home for the old ladles, but that eum was given with the understanding that It should be used for that purpose alone, and for that reason It can not be touched. The women who are cared for by the home are all worthy and of the,highest respectability, and there Is no worthier object for charity, Mrs. Purtell Is very desirous that the Itlxene of Atlanta demonstrate their Interest In the home In a substantial manner and evince their appreciation of the noble work being dons by assist ing the Circle In properly maintaining the Institution.

YETS WANT PENSION PAID ANNUALLY No law placed on the statute books lias ever proven more unpopular, per haps, than that changing pensions from annual to quarterly payments.

It Is due March 1, but arrangements have been made to pay It ahead of time. Vet erans say that when the 380 they! re ceive annually (thnt I* the amount the great majority receive) I* spilt up Into four payments the money does them little good. The protests against th* change have been general, and this leads to the con clusion that th* next legislature will knock quarterly payments but. MANY GEORGIANS GET-PATENTS WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—R. W.

Six days when you feel at your best; no head ache, no dullness. Are they worth ten cents? It is folly to tallc of the “laxotive habit” The habit lies in eating the wrong sort of food, and too much of it. And in getting (oo little exercise. - While you do that, you must give the necessaiy help to the bowels in some other way. Else there is always a penalty. Here is the way to avoid it: Eat coarse food in moderation. Eat plenty of fruit, many green ■Vegetables. Drink no alcohol. Walk ten miles per day. Those are Nature’s ways for keeping the bowels activo. . The next best way is Cascarets. Cascarets, better than anything else, supply the place of laxa tive foods and of exercise. They do what right living would do. And they do'it just as gently, just as naturally. They are vegetable. You'll need them just as long as you live in-doors, and eat rich foods; and no longer. Take them as you take food—when you need it. Carry o box in your pocket, and take one Cascaret at a time. That's better than to suffer and wait. _________ Cascarets are candy tablets.
