Physical Dirartar Toepel Busy
Trying to Select Best Five
From Many Applicants.
Preparations for the winter’s season
of basket ball have begun in earnest at
the Girls High school. The girls in
the normal department are practicing
regularly under the tutelage of Dr.
Theodore Toepel, physical director of
the city schools, and a wealth of clever
material gives promise of a team that
will make a good record.
The big girls occasionally use a much
smaller team than themselves to prac
tice on. The smaller team is made up
of little misses around ten years of
age. Naturally the older players de
feat their younger rivals, but in the
more diminutive team there are goal
who will some day move up
to the first team. Then they will go
to the higher institutions bye and bye,
and somebody had better look out. There
are two squads of players—the “girls"
and the "boys”—and rivalry is keen
for honors.
The regulars who will make up this
year's five have not been picked, but
Dr. Toepel hopes to name them soon
and then he will whip them rapidly
into shape for their series of games.
A well-appointed gymnasium has help
ed the girls to develop their fondness
for the game, and there is much in
terest displayed in the big brick build
ing at Washington and Mitchell streets
when they set the ball a-rolling.

When friends of Revels, aroused by

survived him only a few minutes.

’STATE GRAND LODGE

MACON TOMORROW
MACON, GA., Oct. 29.—The 126th an
nual convention of the grand lodge of
the Free and Accepted Masons of Geor
gia assembled in Macon this morn
ing for a session of two days.* Here
tofore the grand lodge has been it ses
sion three days, but this year* pro

lines, ami the shortening of the con

about $2,000. There are now 625 lodges
in Georgia, and they will send a total
representation of 1,500 delegates.
The chief question for consideration
is the proposition to rebuild the tem

honor, but there are other cities bid
ding for it, and final decision will come
only after a contest in the grand lodge.

MEAT PRICES DUE
TO HIGHEB FEEDS
Hotel Man Says Farmers Are
Raising Less Beef and More
Alfalfa.
That the high cost of living in meats
Is largely due to the high cost of feed
ing stuffs, the enormously increased
consumption of veai, the defection of
the farmers from the cattle raising in
dustry to more extensive cultivation of
alfalfa and other veg “table tiroducts is
the opinion of H. N. Dutton, president
of the Georgia Hotel association.
"The present high prices of meats
are due to a number of causes,” says
Mr. Dutton. “The high cost of feed
ing stuffs; the converting of cattle
ranges into many granges. The cattle
ranges of the United States are de
creasing with remarkable rapidity. The
farmers in Colorado, Arkansas and
other states that were formerly the
cattle producing states have gone into
cultivating their lands more extensive
ly. Several years ago these farmers
discovered that they could make money
raising alfalfa, etc.
"The consumption of veal in this
country has increased enormously. This
means the increased slaughtering of
calves which constitutes another fac
tor in bringing about high prices of
beef because if calves are not allowed
to grow the natural consequence is that
the supply of’steers will become less
and less with each succeeding year.
"According to the year book of the
department of agriculture the number
of milch cows in this countrj' has not
increased In the past five years. As
the milch cow is the source of the sup
ply of beef we can not look for any im
mediate increase in the domestic sup
ply. We, therefore, must continue to
pay exorbitant prices for meats or turn
to the foreign markets for a supply
adequate to meet the growing de
mands.
"The Inevitable result of a continuance
of an increasing population with a
stationary food supply is obvious.
"That there is a scarcity of cattle
in this country is demonstrated by the
fact that the present high price for
beef on the hoof would cause the cattle
raiser to market any he might have
on hand.”

Conditions Never Better So Far
as They Affect Our Country,
Declares Gary.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 29.—At the third
general meeting of the American Iron
and Steel institute here Judge S. H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation, stated that the Unit
ed States was in the midst of an un
precedented era of prosperity. He laid
its cause to the recovery of the general
public and the great corporations from
the bankers' panic of 1907. Judge Gary
touched very lightly on the interna
tional political situation. He said In
part:
"We are in the midst of an era of
prosperity never before surpassed, so
j far as it affects our particular lines.
These conditions have not resulted from
the application of political policies or
efforts but exist in spite of them. They
ate here because nothing could pre
vent. In the first place, for the last
few years, following the bankers’ panic
of 1907. there has existed a feeling of
uncertainty and a lack of confidence
which have deterred the great purchas
ing public from entering the market,
even to the extent of supplying their
necessities. This has been especially
true of the lallroad companies, who are
among our largest patrons.
Buy of Necessity.
"In consequence, the necessities of
the consumers have piled up to such
an extent that they have lately been
forced tu, increase their purchases ma
terially. When, therefore, the railroad
companies and others similarly situ
ated commenced to buy, the general
influence and effect were immediately
felt, and buying on a large scale has
immediately developed.
"Moreover, the bountiful crops and
sound basic conditions of the country
have made every one realize more
clearly than ever before that prosperity
in this splendid country of ours Is to be
the rule and not the exception, not
withstanding at times we may be .sur
rounded by adverse influences and un
warrantable interference, which, in any
ordinary country, would bring pro
longed distress and suffering.
"Questions of great magnitude and
concern are at present agitating the
minds of the people throughout the
world. We may be stubbornly oblivious
to some of them, but we ought not to
be. We refuse to consider, or at least
postpone consideration of, many of
them. The questions are International,
national and domestic; and they in
volve the welfare of every one. We
are disposed to wrap around ourselves
the cloak of self-righteousness, or we
proclaim that we rely upon the stability
of government or the majesty of the
law, and we consider ourselves safe,
whether in our vision everything seems
to be calm and tranquil or otherwise.
People All Powerful.
"We sometimes forget that It Is the
masses of the people who determine
final results; that they may establish
and abolish governments; that they
may make and unmake constitutions
sooner or later that bring about condi
tions satisfactory to them, even by re
sorting to destructive measures. They
have the might and they can deter
mine for themselves what is the right.
They believe In the sentiment, to quote
from a French writer on French his
tory. that “there is bigotry in politics
as well as in religion, and it Is the
worst of bigotry to reject change as
something which is Inherently bad.
Laws to be permanently useful must
vary with the varying condition of man.
"I am dealing in generalities, not in
tending to be specific or to make per
sonal reference. The thought I would
leave with you is that there Is no way
permanently settling any great ques
tion involving the welfare of human
kind except on the basis of right and
justice. Position, wealth, influence,
laws are helpless as a means of estab
lishing a rule for human conduct unless
supported by principles of justice and
righteousness.”
Lewis B. Lester.
Lewis B Lester, aged 56 years, of
Athens. Ga., died at a private sanita
rium in Atlanta today. The body was
removed to Greenberg & Bond’s chapel
and the funeral will take place there
at 3 o’clock. Interment will be at Ath
ens.
PAST FIFTY? YOU
NEEOJASCARETS”
What glasses are to weak eyes—
Cascarets are to weak
bowels.
Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condition
is perfectly natural. It is just as nat
ural as it is for old people to walk
slowly. For age is never so active as
youth. The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak feyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But a lash can’t be
used •'Very day. What the bowels of
the old med is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly used
without harm. The only such tonic Is
Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents
