In spite of tlie fact that the word dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it will not b< fair for many to lay the blame on tile cook if they begin the Christmas Dinner with little appetite and end It with distress or nausea. It may nut be fair for any to do that —let its hope so for the sake of the cook! The •'isease dyspepsia Indicates a bad stomach -that Is, a weak stom- | ach - rather than a bad cook, and for a weak stomach there is nothing else equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. It gives the stomach, vigor and tone, euros dys pepsia. creates appetite, and makes eat ing the pleasure it should lie. (Advt.) GET A KODAK.

I The centra! bur mi to supply pure 'and wholesome milk for Atlanta babies, forecast by The Georgian several weeks ago. is about to become a reality. The Chamber of Commerce committee on milk has the matter under considera tion and will make a report to the chamber in a short time. Dr. S. A. Vlshnska, chairman of the committee, has favored a milk depot for several yeijrs, but his- attention was crystallized by a story in The Georgian a shoi t time ago showing how certain milk dealers had boycotted a citizen, refusing to sell him milk for a sick baby because he had caused the arrest of a dairyman who had sold him the impure milk which caused the child's illness. "The state spends thousands a year to save hogs and cattle from infection." - said Dr. Visanska. "Why not spend something on saving babies? Th members of the chamber could put up the money to establish and operate such a depot with the sole Idea of sup plying pure milk so: babies, without regard to making a profit.” GALE SWEEPS CHANNEL: KEEPS LINER FROM PORT DOVER, ENGLAND.

This isn’t a case of religion—its brotherhood. You fel lows with the Elk pin on your lapels or the Red Men’s button or the Shrln er's emblem, or you who just belong to the general crowd—you’re all in on this. If some poor little girl with her toes sticking out of the holes in her shoes came up to you at the eigar stand and told you she hadn't got a thing for Christmas and didn’t believe in Santa Claus any more, you’d dig up the price mighty quick, wouldn’t you? If you didn’t I’ll bet my pay envelope against a beer check the cigar you bit oft would taste like a rubber,boot on fire. We're Not the Real Hard Luck Kids. The trouble with us fellows is that we can’t see other folks' troubles until we jam right up against them. We don’t know what's going on just around the corner. We think we're in hard luck because we can’t afford a racing car and have to take Milwaukee brew instead of bubble water. I heard a friend of mine raising a long howl last night because he had to buy a ready-to-wear overcoat when he wanted to have a tailor survey him for a S6O kimono with fur around the edges. Hard luck, wasn't it? I’d like to take that guy over across the tracks beyond the gas works and show him some of the kids playing In the dirt and making believe a broken beer bottle wrapped in a rag was a sure enough doll with a "Papa” and "Mamma” attachment on its insides. Why, you fellows don’t know what hard luck is. This G°es For the Kiddos. Remember, this collection doesn’t go to buy hymn books for the Choctaws or flannel chest protectors for the Sa hara Arabs. It doesn’t send any mis sionaries to Gool-a-Boola Or teach Lat in and Greek to first-rate cotton field hands. It goes, every cent of ft, to fill the stockings of a hundred or so poor kiddos with dolls and jumping jacks and toy steam engines and all that sort of truck that you used to think was all there was to Christmas when you were kids. The Georgian Isn’t going to ask whether Johnnie or Susie go to Sunday school once a week or whether they know the alphabet backward or for ward. It doesn’t care a continental whether the kids have been good or bad during the year. All it asks is: “Is this little fellow going to have toys and candy’ on Christ mas day, or Is he going to wake up and find nothing In sight, but an empty stocking with a hole in it and a mighty poor breakfast to start his Merry Christmas on?” Join the Big Brothers! That w’ould be a nice kind of Christ mas for a kid, now wouldn’t It? And it’s up to you to fix it the right way. Chicago has a bunch of good sports called the Big Brothers. They’re club men and oftlcemen and fellows w’ho work hard for their weekly pay envel ope. Some of them are married and some of them just stags; some of them are Sunday school superintendents and a lot of them take theirs straight and have a ringside seat at every’ fight that’s pulled off. But they all get busy a week or two before Christmas and riase enough coin to give every poor kid they can find enough to eat and something to play with on Christmas morning. And they don’t confine their enthusiasm to soliciting money from other folks. They dig most of it out of their own jeans. Why not join the Big Brothers of Atlanta today? You don’t need a badge and there won’t be any meetings. The dues are just a quarter or a half in the barrel at Five Points, where Gus Ed wards and his girls will give you some thing to amuse you, and the pass word is "Keep the Change.” Are y’ou on? Don’t give me that stall about having little nephews and nieces of your own. Sure, you've got to send them some thing. But you can rake off a quarter or so from their outfit without their missing it. It would surprise you to know how tar the price of a couple of drinks will go toward filling a stocking. No Limit on the Ante. These kids in The Georgian’s list don’t expect SO-cent candy and the latest dolls from Paris. You could take what you’re going to spend on one of your sister’s children and give a merry Christmas to a dozen youngsters I know. Not that I'd advise you to cut out your own folks. Just split It two ways, that's all. Remember, It’s at Five Points, this afternoon, open to all comers and no limit on the ante. If you're going out of town or too busy to take a walk, slip a note in an envelope, address it to the Christmas Editor of The Georgian and drop it in the mail chute. You can put your name on it if you like, or you needn't. That's up to you. But you can bank on it that every dollar you chip in for the Empty Stocking will give you the biggest dol lar’s worth of feeling right you ever had in your life. Take a chance and see if I'm not right. ST. JOHNS CHURCH TO GIVE CHRISTMAS TREE A Christmas tree will be given Fri day night, December 27, at the St. Johns Methodist church by the Epworth league.

The bill pro vides something less than $5 per month pay for the enlisted men in the national guard, with a somewhat higher rate for the offi cers. It is not the purpose of the bill to provide sufficient pay to make the service attractive by way of compensation in dollars and cents, but merely that a fund shall be distributed among the guardsmen large enough to reimburse them, at least to the extent of the present expense of the national guard, which falls largely upon the men individually. If the members of the national guard are paid regularly, it is the opinion of high military authorities that they will take more interest in the service and feel that the government takes more in terest in them. In that event, in the time of military necessity, the state militia would be much more readily re sponsive to the nation's call to arms, and capable of being placed In the field upon a better military basis. Those who have noted the progress of the pending bill in congress believe it will pass. The military authorities in Georgia are watching developments in Washington with optimistic eyes. The Georgia legislature has shown of late years a marked disposition to stand by the state’s soldier boys, and if "Un cle Sam” will help along, it looks as if it might be good business all the way round. Says The Savannah News of yester day: If the members of the Georgia legislature were compelled to do what Governor Brown has done voluntarily, namely, draw no pay when funds in the treasury are low, we should have a speedy change for the better in the state's financial condition. It Is a fact—not made known by the governor, however, but through the state treasury department—that during all the time the state’s funds were so low, last fall, just before and after the state was compelled to borrow In order to tide over and pay the school teach ers a small percentage of their overdue salaries, the governor did not draw’ any of his salary. All other state house officers were paid, but the governor merely did not issue a warrant for his own salary- For five months he served without drawing a cent from the treasury. And he hasn’t paid himself off yet, moreover! State house officers generally have noticed that since The Macon Tele graph’s Johnnie Reese—“lkey”—start ed to accumulating a new home on the nickel-down-nickel-a-week plan he seemingly has assumed more or less aristocratic airs, and does not get down as early in the mornings as he used to. Time was when every state house of ficer could depend on Johnnie to beat him to the capitol every morning—now he comes in anywhere from 11 to high noon, and isn't as sociable as he used to be, at that. The real reason why he is so haughty nowadays, however, is because he has scraped together finally enough tobacco tags and coupons to get him a new wheelbarrow and coal shovel, both of which domestic implements he has needed sadly ever since his new fur nace was installed. One morning, to be sure, he was a little late getting down because the fire went out in the furnace over night, and he had to make it up all by’ himself next morning; but most of his lateness has been caused by chasing around among friends about town, collecting tags and coupons.

Augusta is to have the honor and the very great pleasure of entertaining President Taft for a solid month after he leaves the white house. A committee of citizens from Augus ta went to Washington a few days ago and invited the president to be the city’s guest for a time, immediately after the Inauguration of his sue eessor. “Come home and spend a .while with the folks, Mr. President,” is the way the committee put it up to him. Mr. Taft is very fond of Augusta and Augusta people. He readily and cordially accepted the invitation— and on March 7 will go to Augusta for four or five weeks. While in Augusta he will be furnish ed a home to live in, an automobile to ride in, servants to wait on him— and he will not be bothered with unneces sary social stunts, at that. It is understood that Judge Newt Morris, of the Blue Ridge circuit, who will be an ex-judge within the next few days, Is to be either collector of internal revenue for Georgia under the Wilson administration, or an assistant United States attorney, well up on the list, in Washington city, attached di rectly to the department of justice, un der the attorney general of the United States. It may be stated positively that Judgt Morris is to be handsomely “taken care of” under the forthcoming admin istration. ECZEMA SPREAD ’ ALLOVER BODY On Scalp First.
