Savage, barbaric and pioneer peo ple never produce a man of this class. He seems to be a sort of sport of civ ilisation, one of nature’s little ironies. He has Intellect, but is deficient In common sense. To that decree science rightly clasalflea him as a defective. When you get the “highbrow lacks common sense you hav telleotic. Common Sense. Common sense la the common and natural utilization of the senses. Com mon sense is the sense which common people possess In fa have to possess it, otherwb would perish.

Inasmuch as man is a herding animal, common sense implies an intuitional right ad justment of man to his fellows. The first item of common sense is a cheerful willingness to make yours useful to other people. Without ability the individual would star death were he not taken c the hands of charity. Stanley Hall, in his wonderful book, “Adolfs- cnee.” makes the statement that all of the common sense an in dividual ever possesses he acquires before he is 14 years old. After that. «o far as common sense is concerned, his case is hopeless. You can send him to college and he will acquire learning, expanding his intellect, hut pil you will ever get will he an Intel lectic- :hat is. an Individual morally and mentally defective.

In many in - stances, individuals free from the necessity of earning a living And one so handicapped will be apt to evolve these primal Instincts which we all should i>o*»eHS. Children born in the country of poor parents or in villages where every one works for a living run very small risk Indeed of evolving Into intellects s. The product comes from the cities To a great degree the habit of paying honors and doing deference to certain professions no doubt has had a good deal to do with evolving the intellectic A Parasite. Always and forever, the true type of intellectic is a parasite usually a respectable mendicant. He lives off the labor of other people. He wastes, he destroys, lie consume* — he does not create. The safety of the race lies In the fact, that the intellectic has been lo cated and the psychic domain that he inhabits ban been. In degree, mapped and the life buoys placed. We have been duly warned. The paranoiac may show a seizure and work dire mischief or sudden death. The intellectic is Just as dangerous, and perhaps more w, be cause the poison that he distills is insidious and slow in its action. He is the man who upholds tli»* religio- medlco-legal fetish and spread^ their baleful influence. Any man who is unfamiliar and out of sympathy with the simple, little, common, every-day things of life, who is not in touch with the multitude and whose heart does not go out to the many, is on the pre serve of the intellectic, and is a good man to let severely alone. No matter how plausible his arguments, give him 'absent treatment. Klee any man w ho does not have common cense no matter how great his mental at tainments Wher© Safety Lies.

DON’T nurse the baby or give it the bottle longer than 10 months or a year. DON’T have its clothing too tight, too hot or thin. DON’T keep child indoors and keep the windows closed. Easy to do. "If parents only knew it," Dr. Hull said, "it's just as easy to have a strong, happy child as it is to have h sickly one without, of course, it is born abnormal or with a natural weakness. Even then, many times, It can be brought arourid with the right care." The physician said it had been proven that it was usually possible for healthy parents to raise healthy offspring if (hey brought common sense to bear on the question. The children could be taught good traits as well as had. "Most people think that when f child cries it should be taken up im mediately. or trotted or otherwise disturbed. Fact of the business is a child should be kept quiet and not excited. Kor the first three months it should not he held in the arms very much "In putting baby out in the freon air. it can be laid in a carriage or cart or its- little bed, but cure must be tak'-n to j- e that it If comfortably clad, for children are more suscepti ble to changes In temperature than older people." It was for this reason I>r. Hull sail that something wool over the abdo men must be worn winter and sum mer for the first year of the child’s life. In hot weather the baby could wear a little silk and wool shirt, low neck and short sleeves with a piece of silk flannel sewed across, a dia per and a slip. In cold weather, he should have a high neck and long sleeve wool vest, flannel shirt, stockings or mittens, a diaper, white skirt and dress, and of course a coat when taken out. A'r Not Drafts. "Sleeping with windows open for plenty of fresh air does not mean draft." explained the doctor. "And putting him out in the open air does not include east wind and rain. Rea son must always govern all rules." Dr. Hull gave the following direc tions for feeding the usual perfectly normal child: For the first month let it nurse every two hours during the day, and every four hours during the night. The second month it should nurse every 2' 2 hours, a»*d once during the night. After the second month, tht feedings should be every three STEPS TO KNOWLEDGE By Nell Brinkley So wo climb- -big chaps and small women—and on the top step, all unsuspecting, in the midst of untamed laughter, when we are thinking we are the least wise, we take down the book of REAL DREAMS, and, turn ing. look into the wide, deep eyes of knowledge. Hours until the baby is 10 months old. Then some carefully selected cereal or Tuel once or twice a day should be added. A one-min ute egg or a little beef juice. Dr. Clarke, for years one of tht city's best known baby experts, bus frequently said practically the same thing in his lectures before Atlanta Mothers’ Clubs. He lias emphasized: "Let a child's clothing be suspend ed from the shoulders so that it does not bind bin; in any way. A child is developed by being able to cry, kick and wave its arms. "If a baby is asleep when his feed ing time comes wake him. It will make him able to sleep better it night. Mother’* Milk Best. "Mother's milk Is the best for a child. The only substitute is cow’s milk, and this is not a substitute it’ simply water is added to it. It must be what physicians call modified milk, which means that by process the cow’s milk has been made to conform in all ingredients to a mother’s. This milk should be given slightly warmed only. "Avoid infant foods, as they are not fresh and may cause rickets, scurvy or other diseases." Don't subject a child to loud noises, as it may ruin his nervous system. It may seem that ho enjoys hearing Back to the Old Days: Re-enter the Chaperone Gen. George Pickett’s Widow fells of the.Friendships Civil War Couldn’t Sever rpHH most impressive thing In I Genera! George E. Pickett’s let ters, as they are revealed in "The Heart of a Soldier,” is the pic ture they presented of their author. The latter is revealed by turns as an ardent and charming lover, an Ideal husband, a gallant military chieftain, and a klndhearted and right-minded gentleman. Undoubted- !y, it was for the purpose of pro ducing this impression that Mrs. Pickett caused the publication of this volume and wrote the touching memo rial of her husband which appears as Its introductory chapter. Another impression the book con veys Is that of the kindly and gene rous feeling that existed between Confederates and Unionists, graduated from West Point, who had been friends before the war. An exhibition of this feeling was made at the time of the blYth of General Pickett’s first baby. Mrs. Pickett, telling the story, says: On the occasion of my son’s birth bonfires were lighted in cel ebration all along Pickett’s line. Grant saw’ them and sent scouts to learn the cause. \Vhen they re ported he said to General Ingalls: “Haven’t we some kindling on this side of the line? Why don’t we strike a light for the young Pickett?” In a little while bonfires were flaming from the Federal line. A few days later there was taken through the line a baby’s silver service engraved: “To George E. Pickett, Jr., from his father’s friends. IT. S. Grant. Rufus In galls, • George Suckley.” Genera! Pickett, in a letter from Washington, relates another incident in which this same kindly feeling was manifested: After breakfast we went, as ar ranged, to see Grant. I can’t Just tell you, my darling, about that visit. You'll have to wait till I see you to tell you how the warm hearted, modest old warrior and loyal friend met me; liow he took in his the hand of your heartsore soldier—poor, broken, defeated, profession gone—and, looking at him for a moment without speak ing, said slowly: “Pickett, if there is anything on the top of God’s green earth I* can do for you, say so. * * * When I started to go Grant pulled down a check book, and said: "Pickett, it seems funny, doesn’t It, that I should have any money to offer, but how much do you need?" “Not any, old fellow; not a cent, thank you,” I said. ”1 have plenty.” “But Rufus tells me that you have begun to build a house to take the place of the one old But ler burned, and how can you build it without money? You do need some.” "I have Sold some timber to prf.v for it,” I told him, and to show my appreciation and grati tude, unobserved, I affectionately •squeezed his leg, when he called out: “Rufus, it’s the same old George Pickett. Instead of pull ing my leg. he’s squeezing it.” In a letter written just after the battle of Seven Pines, General Pick ett expresses his very Warm regard for another American general: I have heard that my dear old friend McClellan is lying ill about ten miles from here. May some loving, soothing hand minister to him. He was, he Is, and he al ways will be, even with his pistol pointing at my heart, my dear, loved friend. May God bless him and spare his life. There Is no lack of reference to the great men of the war time In the book; the General and Mrs. Pickett between them have something to say about nearly all the famous fighters and civilians. In Mrs. Pickett’s Intro ductory chapter we find an extremely interesting story. It appears that while at Richmond, Just after the sur render, she was summoned to the door by a sharp rap. She gives a charming account of what followed: With my baby on my arm, I an swered the knock, opened the door, and looked up at a tall, gaunt, sad-faced man in ill-fitting clothes, who, with the accent of the North, asked: “Is this George Pickett’s place?” “Yes, sir,” I answered, "but he is not here.” “I know that, ma’am,” he re plied, “blit I just wanted to see the place. I am Abraham Lin coln " "The President!” I gasped. The stranger shook his head and said: “No. ma’am; no ma’am. Just Abraham Lincoln; George’s old friend.” “I am Georg** Pickett's wife, and this is his baby,” was all I could say. My baby pushed away from me, and reached his hands to Mr. Lin coln, who took him in his arms. As he did so an expression of rapt, almost divine tenderness and love lighted up the sad face. It was a look that I have never seen on any other face. My baby opened his mouth wide and in sisted upon giving his father’s friend a dewy, infantile kiss. As ^ Mr. Lincoln gave the little one back to me, shaking his finger at him playfully, he said: "Tell your father, the rascal, that I forgive him for the sake of that kiss and those bright eyes.” Mrs. Pickett explains the interest Lincoln showed In her husband by stating that it was through Mr. Lin coln’s influence that her husband re- ^ ceived his appointment to.West Point, State Explains How to Halt The Spread of Diphtheria Dignified and rigid formality must he the tone of Atlanta society. Its leaders have spoken. Which means, for one thing, that if the plan is carried out which is now the gossip of clubs and parties, chaperonage will be more strict than ever before. Beginning with the next season, there must he a personal chaperone for every young woman who goes out to formal functions >f society, according to the new code. Hereafter the escort will go not to the home of his lady, but to the club, where he will find her waiting with her chaperone. This is the new plan, bespeaking ultra-formality, which has been fos tered by at least one leader whose position is so well established ns to make laws of her requests and wishes. In short, Atlanta society is plan ning to welcome back into its midst the duenna. Duenna, be it known, is the poetic euohemism by which is designated that most unpoetic person in the world, the personal chaperone. Things have been running very smoothly for some time, say the young people in society. Seldom were there obstacles in the path of true love. Everything was decorous and proper enough, always, and there was never the third figure of the duenna to make an uncomfortable . rowd where there should have been n enjoyable party of two. v were the days, the days of j freedom. Dhaperones there were. .* 1 rue. but not personal chaperones for * very youtv.* woman or two. The chaperone was truly but an incidental factor, and everybody was happy, even the chaperone. She held her discreet station somewhere near the edges of the festive crowd, and en joyed herself. She was the sun about which the universe of the ballroom or drawing room revolved. Ever and anon young couples looked in her direction. Her frown would check them in the exe cution of a novel dance step—say the turkey trot or something like it— or her smile would encourage them in the fact that they were behaving with her sanction. But in the corners an-1 the little nooks she was not present to awe or to embarrass. The days were days of freedom. But the days of freedom must give way to the days of formality in At lanta society. According to the plans which are credited to certain society leaflets, this must be changed. The debutante going to her dances and parties next season must go witn her own chaperone, her duenna, if the plans work out well. A more rigid formality is the key note of the new social scheme. Young women, unmarried, must be attended. Thus it was in the formal society of Castile and Aragon. Later, the elite everywhere adopted the cus tom of duenna; that is. the portion of society that is spelled with a great big S. Atlanta, it seems, is geting on. Tl\e courts of kings, and even that of Mrs. Astnr, will have nothing on the so ciety of th** Georgia capital when the new code Is effective. It goes farther than the specifica tion that the girl must be attended by that guardian angel, the persona! chaperone. “Guardian angel shucks." exclaims the Young Thing when she reads this line. She is not quite sure that she can heartily welcome the innovation. But it goes farther than this. At parties and other places where younv people congregate, they are talking nowadays of that other feature of th-' plan which provides that the esco r t no longer shall go to the home of the young woman to meet her. This old custom of tlie South, they say, is doomed to fall. The young woman and h£r duenna personal chaperone, let us say, to be less exotic—must go to the club and await there the coming of the escort. Atlanta has clubs which be ar the unreserved stamp of so ciety’s approval. This system is quite au fait in the social circles of the larger cities of the world, where formality’s tne thing. But don’t think that Atlanta is adopting it merely because it«is done elsew’here. No. “The tone of society should be :» dignified formality.” say the advo cates of the new order, in argument. "The new scheme is the logical out growth of a recognition of that fact.” It will apply, of course, to only the more formal functions of Atlanta so ciety, the quasi-official coming out patties, receptions and dances. But they do say that it surely will I pplv. with the opening of the new season and with the new bevy of debutantes next fall. In a general campaign against all disease the Georgia State Board of Health is issuing a series of bulletins warning the public. One of these fol lows: PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF DIPHTHERIA. The spread of diphtheria can be prevented. Every case springs from seme other case, and when the disease spreads from house to house there is usualh some neglect somewhere. This neglect may be due to ignorance or to willful carelessness. The results are the game. In no contagious disease is isolation and quarantine more bene ficial than in cases of diphtheria, and it is in diphtheria that the serum method of treatment has given its best results. If a. person develops symptoms which are suspicious of diphtheria, that person should imme diately bei solated; that is, put into a room by himself or herself, with only one other person to act as attendant or nurse. A. competent physician should then be called to moke an ex amination of the patient. If he de cides that the patient ha* not diph theria, or follicular tonsilltis, or any other contagious disease, of course the isolation and quarantine can be immediately lifted. If the case is doubtful, the doctor can take a cotton swab and swab the nose and throat and then rub the swab over a piece of glass and ex amine this with a microscope for the germ of diphtheria. If the doctor is not equipped to do this work, or ha* not tinje for it. he can communicate with the laboratories of the State Board of Health in Atlanta and they will send him culture media on which to smear the material taken from the nose and throat. As soon as this smear or inoculation is made, the me dia should be immediately returned to the board’s laboratories and as promptly as possible a report will be sent to the physician free of charge. State Furnishes Antitoxin. If the disease is found to be diph theria, antitoxin can be obtained di rectly from the State Board oi Health’s laboratory or from the Coun ty Ordinaries, who are kept supplied free of charge by the State Board of Health. This antitoxin is put up In syringes all ready for prompt admin istration. Members of the household where there Is a case of diphtheria should not attend school, church, shows, parties or other places of as semblage. aiTd they should not receive or pay visits During epidemics schools in the in fected district should be closed and children from different houses should not he allowed to play together. Those who have been exposed should use a nose and throat wash several times a day. Listerine. glyco-thvmoline or dilute Dobell's solution is useful for this purpose. The patient, of course, should have dishes and silverware for his own use marked in some way so as to keep them separate from those used by other members of the household. These articles should be boiled and washed in a separate pan. Keep cats and dogs and other pets out of the sick room, as they carry ; the disease and unless it is absolutely necessary for you to go into the room you had better stay out yourself, for you may oatch the disease or you may carry it to some one else. Every ar ticle should be disinfected before it is removed from the sick chamber. After the patient is apparently well swabs from the nose and throat should again be examined, and if the patient is found to be free after three such examinations made on succes sive days, he can be released from isolation and the room thoroughly disinfected. When to Give Antitoxin. Antitoxin can not repair damage after it is done, but it can, and does, prevent damage from being done, if given early and in proper doses. The dangers from antitoxin are so small as not to be worth considering when compared with the dangers from diphtheria. It produces the greatest amount of good when given early, and in cases where there is a strong sus picion that the disease present is diphtheria it is right and proper to give antitoxin immediately without waiting for an examination of the throat and nose for the germ of diph theria Those exposed to the disease should be given a small dose of ap- titoxin to protect them from taking the disease. To delay in giving anti toxin in diphtheria is dangerous, anfl he who hesitates may lose his pa tient. Such Extraordinarily Beautiful Hair Would make any woman hand some! Haven't you said it?
