Tho high cost of living licaAs heavily upon those who are just able to keep above the line of want, and when .death in vades the families of such it bears upon them a,ll tho more heavily, and in many cases cruelly, tragically. The accompanying letters referring to a communication . from S. Hill Johnson, pub lished on the editorial page of The Georgian for November 23, give some intimation of these tragedies, and point to the .need 'in Atlanta of a city- owned cemetery that-will sell lots at a price no higher than tho cost of the land and 'the expense of maintaining it. Atla|ita real estate brings gratifying prices. Its contin ual increase in price i$ a matter of city pride, but it is a pity that this price and this increase should serve in ________________ this somewhat startling way to tear the heart-strings of the poor. With them,, tho the cost of living bp high, the cost of dying is higher still. These letters and the pressing need of a city-owned ceme tery which they disclose should set tho city oflicials of Atlanta to thinking, and not merely to thinking, but to de vising ways and means by which the need may be sup plied. In case of sickness or accidental injury, the city has a well-equipped hospital ii) which to care for its peo ple, but when they , are dead it' gives itself little further concent about them. • i ,Xo. person. should feel that the city is glad t6 have him to swell the number of its inhabitants and add to its , , wealth with his labor while h«> » ahve, but when he is dead thut it lias so little use for hi") he must be sent away to other places to find a grave. , ,, , Nor should there be added to the sorrow incident to death the harrowing anxiety of not being able to provide a suitable resting place for the dead except by chaining the living with years of debt. A cemetery owned by the city of Atlanta, its perpetual care therefore being assured, located as conveniently as possible, and with loti; capa ble of being procured at mod erate prices, would lighten grief and anxiety for hun dreds at a time when grief and anxiety are, heaviest, and would make living hap pier and dying easier. - Other cities have such cemeteries, and providing one for At lanta should be given earnest consideration by the city authori- 'ties when they come fo make up next year’s budget of ex penditures. Editor Georgian: That piece you printed Wednes day about the cemetery la just right. I have been knowing tor a long time something ought to be done about this. I liavs known lots ot a lo that had to carry their folks to tho country to bury them because they couldn't pay to have It dona here where It coat so much. There was a piece In the paper tho other day about a poor woman hare In town who had to send her baby to lha country to have It burled and she grieved ao because she couldn't ace the grave. That la the way It I, with lots and lots of peo ple hero all the time. Vours truly, B. B. WATKINS. JR. Atlanta, Ox. Nor. 25, 1910.

The Democratic Harmony Gathering. V'^APtWr itMiatibn of Maryland, Democrats, there in soon to ...fet a .national Democratic gathering at Baltimore, to be held in the interest of unity and harmony and to celebrate the recent party victory. The meeting was decided on lost Saturday, after a eonfer- „ onde between Governor Crothersj of Maryland, nnd other party leaders of that Rtate and Norman E, Mack, chairman or the National Democratic Executive committee, and Champ Clark, the Democratic leader in the house of representatives; Tho idea of a national Democratic gathering following the victory of November 8 was greatly changed, however, from its original conception, which was that of a meeting to map out, if f iossible, the party courso in the mat congress and in the pre- irainary stages of the 1912 presidential contest. Neither Mr. Mack nor Mr. Clark approved of the latter, considering that it would promote more discord than harmony; but they heartily indorsed the get-together meeting in tho na ture of rejoicing over victory, whereat no resolutions of any kind will be offered or adopted, and no one boomed or even suggested for tho party’s candidate for president in 1912. In addition to Mr. Mack and Mr. Clark, many other Demo cratic leadors high in the party councils frowned on the idea of the conference ns at first proposed, seeing in it many dan gers—for ihstance, the inevitable strife that would ensue over a discussion of policies; jealousies and rivalries as to whom should be invited and as to their assignments upon the program; and tho likelihood of the suspicion that the meeting was to boost some one for the presidency. Undoubtedly such a conference of self-appointed delegates would be unwise, bnt the problem of harmony is one that Demo crats must solve some time or other if their recent success is to be made permanent. And if the Baltimore joy gathering, as finally decided upon, proves a step in that direction, it will bo well worth while.

Boms of the newspapers over the state, and all or the "professional hunt ers." are profuse In their err ot “Down With the Pot Hunters.” yet we notice In Sunday's Constitution where , three men stayed 171 .bird* In three days hunUnr, and one ot these men. It wo mistake not, was a Judre of tho court. Now can these men expect people to have any conalderatton of the reckleaa shoot In* of Sams when they set such sn example? It Is an awful thins for a poor man who hunts for bis meat and bread, or perhaps a farmer, to kill a few mors birds than Is needed for his table, but It Is all risbt far the judfro and the oolonela to slay .them by the wholesale.

Hut perhaps It Is not generally un- dot-stood that decomposition ot one kind ’pf food differs from decomposi tion of uflother kind In respect of the Injurious products liberated. The de- cbmposltlon products most Injurious to teoth are such as favor the devel opment of bacteria and such ns are of adld nature. Indeed, some Investiga tors have given lactic acid as the pri mary factor In the destruction of en amel. Prbteids, which Include animal tlasues, eggs, etc., are not nearly so harinful to the teeth as.other Jtinds of food, because the protelds dlo hot yield on decomposition the acids that dlatn- tegrate the enamel nor the products favorable to bacteria! life and activity. The carbohydrates, however, do yield these deleterious decomposition prod ucts plentifully; hence sweetb, starches and gummy foods are more Injurious than meats, whether fish, flesh or fowl. This Joes not mean that man should lead a purely carnivorous life, but It does mean that over-indulgence In candy and other sweets Is bad for chil dren's teeth, and that one needs to clean the teeth carefully after eating adherent saccharin or starchy .food. Another point' concerning the effect of diet upon the teoth Is that soft or sticky food Is not so good for the teeth as Arm or even coarse ailment. The teeth need exercise to keep them well and sound. A liquid or semi-solid diet does not furnish the mechanical stimulation. Which the teeth require; moreover foods of this sort adhere to the teeth and are harder to remove than dry folld foods are. But there Is a more profound rela tion between-diet and tqoth preserva tion. Who'has not often noticed that some people’s teeth are constitutionally prone to decay?- And that despite the greatest care of these precious organs certain Individuals are constantly In the hands of the dentist, whereas other Individuals who absolutely neglect their teeth are never troubled with decay? The reason for this difference In many Instances, Is that the tastes of the man with the sound teeth lead him to eat food that contains enough of the ele ments of tooth sustenance and sub stance, while the man with the bad teeth does not get a sufficient supply of these elemente from bis restricted diet. Says The Journal of the American Medical Association, apropos to this subject: "Other factors concerned In the pro duction of carles of the teeth besides Inadequate cleanliness and too soft food are the general nutrition and the character of tho internal secretions. The teeth need certain Inorganic sub stances properly metabolised to keep up their perfect health and growth. If these substances, probably largely phosphates, are Insufficient, the teeth tend to decay. Such an Insufficiency Is probably always more or less pres ent during pregnancy. If the teeth tend to degenerate and cavities quickly form, the trouble Is generally with the nutrition, and the person Is often de ficient In bone-forming salts. Such patients should receive Itmo salts, phosphates, glycerophosphates and Iron." ulet largely made up ot animal food, especially flsh, is calculated to furnish the necessary phosphates and other salts to th# teeth, but one must consider other things besides the teeth In choosing food. So that a mixed diet, rich In meats or flsh but not neglecting Arm, dry vegetable matter, Is probably best Mv neighbor keeps a frantic steed that always tries to run away. “You are a foolish man, indeed,” I said; “he’ll kill you off some day.” And then into my car I stepped, and ran against a vagrant cow; and when I from WHO’S the .rums crept, my neighbor said: “Who’s loony now?” My wife has bought a new fall ' LOONY NOW? hat, and I remarked, • with great disdain: “The dame who’ll blow good scads for that should have a cobbler fix her brain.” And then I took my old stiff tile, and jammed it down upon my brow; the frau surveyed it with a smile, and murmured low: “Who’s" loony now?” All day I’m toiling in my den; I grind out essays doubly dense; I’m always roasting other m«n, and saying that they have no sense.

TIRED OF TALK 'Actions are the thing In these dayB rather than speech, and they talk much more vigorously.” Woodrow Wilson, governor-elect of New Jersey, aa sound In statesmanship as' in common sense, thus frames a thought that, promptly applied, ought to relieve from a great , deal of unneces sary labor and much possible embar rassment for themselves and the coun try the promoters of a conference of Democratic "leaders” to talk over plans for tho future. Dr. Wilson was at Chi cago, and, declining to be Interviewed, said: ; ‘ ' "I have adopted a policy of not talk ing for publication, It Is not that I hesitate to commit myself as to a fn- turescourse of action, for I am willing at any . time to do that. I have plans enough and work enough cut out for me to do hard work, but my way of doing It Is not to talk about It. Actions are the thing In these dnya rather than speech, and they talk much more vig orously." • Mr. Wilson could not possibly have had In mind the proposed "talk-It-over." But his thought might as well be con sidered In that connection to the end that. Instead of talking about things to be done, things be done that require no talking for emphasis. That policy can be carried out by politician# of both parties long before the newly elected congress assemblea Their deeds would show that tho lessons of the late elecr tIona were effective. It there was any point that voters of the country, regardless of party lines, made on November 8, It was that the people of the country are tired of talk especially when talk Is not followed by deeds, or when deeds are exactly con trary to talk. Another point made was one of op position to extravagance In government. Tho retiring congress can put that point Into a deed by restoring tho salaries of congressmen to the figures of two or three years ago, before the salaries of congressmen were Increased 50 per cent, and thus 81,000,000 was added to the annual burden of American taxpay ers. To provide a continuance of living at the expense of tho people without ad equate returns In work for a bunch of senators and representatives who, as a result of tho elections, will not tit In the next congress, there will undoubted ly be a tendency at Washington to And excuses for the creation of a number of new commissions and boards whose membership will be composed of the ‘‘lame guckt.” For the benefit of the coufltry this tendency should be com bated at once, and a beginning may be made by abolishing many of the boards and commissions which have been cre ated In the past ten years at an annual expense aggregating several million dollars, perfectly useless to the country and likely, unless abolished now, to ex ist Indefinitely. Such deeds of real reform are the deeds demanded for the country. Talk can only prevent them.—Baltimore Manufacturers’ Record. ijQBotuecf A Floral Merchant. Here is a delightful Btory which is be ing tola on the Paris boulevards concern ing a Russian nobleman, an actress and a valet. After visiting a theater the no bleman sent his valet with a bouquet for the leading actress, not because he was specially ’’.smitten, but because he con sidered it the thing to do. Thinking no more about tho lady, the Russian was preparing to leave Paris when the actress called upon him. ’I have come to thank you,” she said. tions*’° Ur ,nce3Sant and d ell cate atten- ”Jou are extremely kind,” replied he. modestly, “as I only sent you one bou quet, and that was a month ago, if I re member rightiy.” ’’Why," exclaimed the lady, "your serv ant nae brought mo one every evening.” whan tho valet was asked to explain, he said: “When I took the first bouquet the lady gave me five francs, and as it <4niy coat me three, I went on doing it.”* .They All Did It.

When the unfortunate youth fell asleep in the billiard room two attendants appeared and carried him to Next morning, the other guests were awakened by the host in person, and con ducted to a peephole, thru which they saw the young man lying asleep on a white plastored floor. The ceiling was carpeted, and the various articles of the bedroom furniture were securely fastened to it and ranging downward. The young man awoke, and with a cry of terror grasped a chandelier that came up thru theblaatered floor. ‘ They all do it!” cried the host, with a - ffh* ’’Every man of them grabs that chandelier lest he should fall up to th* ceiling.”—Dundee Advertiser.
