He did not have to worry about his |

cooked for himself, which Is not so

why he lived this life.
As a young man he had gone to old

mate of ex-Governor Joseph M
Brown. His instincts there were so
cial and toward good fellowship.
He was a charter member of the
, hapter of the Phi I>elta Theta Fra

ters at the University of Georgia am*
at Mercer. No matter what his view’s
of the world became later, he held to
that bond of brvitherhood. When he
avoided almost all mankind his inter

probably the only true human asso

Here is the first dancing lesson
for Georgian readers by Miss
Donna Bain, beautiful instructor
of Atlanta society and brilliant
expert in all the latest steps.
By MISS DONNA BAIN.
The popularity which the he. itation
waltz has recently achieved ir Amer
ican dancing circles is an ind; a:Ion
that the old-time glide waltz, so i»erp-
ular in the days of our forefathers, is
coming hack into favor, for the hesi
tation retains many of the beauties
of the glide with distinctive varia
tions that give it what might be
termed individuality.
And. incidentally, it is to be great
ly hoped that the favor with which
the return of the glide waltz, even
in a modified form, is being greeted,
will means the extermination of those
dancing abominations called turkey
trot and the bear and all the other
freak dances that require exagger
ated, unnecessary and foolish move
ments of the shoulders and the body
to give them a thrill and carry them
to success.
Full of Grace and Beauty.
There was never a dance, perhaps,
so filled with natural grace and
beauty as the glide waltz, and you
will still find that the majority of the
dancers, though they bow to the .dic
tates of fashion and dance the new
dances, still have a tender spot in
their hearts for the glide waltz and
dance it at every opportunity. And
for these the hesitation is a suitable
and satisfactory substitute. It is a
combination of the Boston and the
old glide waltz, combined in just the
right proportion to suit devotees of
both dances. The Boston steps give
it vim and go. while there is retained
enough of the glide waltz to pre
vent the dance from being awkward,
and to give it a sort of bewildering
beauty that neither the Boston nor
the glide waltz alone has.
The hesitation is not hard to dance,
and to learn it one does not have to
have any special fund of natural
grace, although the more graceful the
beginner is the quicker will she learn.
► Grace is an inherent quality of the
dance, and any recognized dance,
danced well, is graceful. The aver
age person, even with no knowledge
of dancing, should learn the lies': i-
tion waltz in a few lessons, and >r
a good waktzer the task should »e
even easier.
Instructions for dancing the levi
tation waltz could be spun out in , 1-
most an endless thread, but 1 think
the following will suffice to give any
one an idea of how to dance it.
Here Are the Steps.
In the hesitation waltz the u il
should start on the right foot . id
balance back on the left taking f ■
Boston walk steps forward; w -
right; starting on the left foot, take
four Boston steps, reversing to left
and hesitating on the left; repeat,
starting on the right foot. *
Another step in the hesitation waltz
is made by waltzing on the left foot,
alternating forward and back, and
hesitating on the right foot between
the waltz steps. There are numerous
others that come with practice and
that should n »; be attempted until
the principles of.the dance have been
well grounded.
And in dancing, remember that the
more you try to be graceful, the more
graceful yo i probably will be. And
above all do r.c shrug your shoulders
*r wiggle air body. There are some
dan . . n idle interpretive and clas
sic al d m-« that require certain
ni"\ im n. of the arms, shoulders
and ? - body to convey the full mean-
:»>)■ the (.. nee- hut in the modern
h;Hi; m dance such movements are
out <>; place and ungraceful.

the law’s governing the telegraph ser
vice and therefore it is believed that
the statute enabling the Government
to acquire, upon payment of an ap
praised valuation, the telegraph lines
of the country w’ill enable the Gov
ernment to acquire the telephonic
network of the country.
“Parcel post reaches everywhere
whereas private expresses extend
their operations only to profitable ter
ritory." says the report. "Twenty-
millions of rural residents now have
house-to-house delivery and collec
tions of parcels, a service formerly to
be had only In cities and towns.”
Telegraph Lines Useless.
Representative Lewis, of Maryland,
who has devoted months to the study
of the Government ownership of wire |
lines, is not committed fully to the
plan advanced by Burleson. The
Postmaster General believes the Gov
ernment should operate both the tele
phone and telegraph lines. The Lewis
bill contemplates taking over the
telephone wires only.
"We do not need the telegraph sys
tem," said Mr. Lewis to-day. "The
Government may acquire and use the
wires both to send telephone and
telegraph messages. lit is being done
now.”
Mr. Lewis estimates that the tele- I
phone systems of the country, in- i
eluding the Bell and independent j
lines, may be purchased for $900,009 -
000. The acquisition of the telegraph
would cost at least $200,000,000 addi- I
tional. I
“The committee has not yet con- ,
sidered the legislative features of its
annual bill,” said Chairman Moon, of
the Postotfice Committee of the
House.
Administration Bill Coming.
“The recommendation of the Post
master Genera! are yet to be digested
by the committee, but the Govern
ment ownership of telephone and
telegraph lines is such a big problem
that a party caucus probably will be
held before any definite action is
taken.”
It is believed that Mr. Moon will
introduce, after the Christmas holi
days, the Administration bill.
“It is too big a problem to be de
cided offhand on the recommendation
of anyone.” said Representative Mad
den, Republican member of the Post-
ofiice Committee. "You may depend
upon it. there will be a most thorough
investigation of the entire subject be
fore this Congress acts. Government
ownership of these properties may
come, but T am against that until the
subject has been thoroughly probed.”
“Government ownership and oper
ation of the telephone and telegraph
is coming," said Victor Murdock, Pro
gressive leader of the House. “It may
not be accomplished during this ses
sion of Congress, but it ought to be.”
Underwood Ready for Caucus.
Majority Leader Underwood indi
cated that if Uhairman Moon desired
a caucus of House Democrats the
party conference would be called and
the entire question thrashed out
among the Democrats. He said that
undoubtedly the report of the Post
master General was reflective of the
views of the President, and that this
would have weight with the Demo
cratic Congress.
House leaders generally are con
cerned with the politics of the plan.
The question is whether it will be a
wise move to agitate at this time the
Government ownership of such a tre
mendous system on the heels of tar- i
iff revision, currency reform, pros- !
pectlve anti-trust legislation and the
Administration bill to operate a Gov
ernment railroad in Alaska. Conser
vative members of the House are op
posed to crowding the business world i
with too much legislation, and are
now doubtful of the wisdom of incur
ring a public debt of approximately
one billion dollars to take over the
wire systems.
Woman, Burned in
Epileptic Fit, Dies
KNOXVILLE, Dec. 18.—After eigh
teen hours of excruciating pain, **virs.
Ab Lewis, aged 46, of Lenoir City, to
day succumbed to burns which she
sustained while in an epileptic fit.
When Mrs. Lewis was found by
neighbors her body was charred and
it was considered almost a miracle
that she survived so long. Her hus
band and ten children survive.
Whisky Seized by
Macon's New Chief
MACON, Dec. 18.—Macon’s new
Chief of Police had been in office but
a few hours when he began to make
good his promise to stop the sale of
whisky.
Chief Riley and several of his men
raided the saloon of Hugh Devlin,
where 24 barrels of whisky were con
fiscated and the manager and clerk
arrested. At C. E. Randall's saloon
1,000 bottles of whisky were found,
and at B. B. Brannan’s saloon enough
to fill a two-horse dray.
Depositors May Not
Recover 25 Per Cent
AUGUSTA, Dec. 18.—The Irish-Amer-
ican Bank, which went into the hands
of the State Bank Examiners on Satur
day, is in a very bad condition, accord
ing to reports In business circles.
The bank’s deposits amounted to near
ly $300.00, and It is not believed the de
positors will get more than 25 cents on
the dollar—if that much.
The failure of the Industrial Lumber
Company, which owed the bank large
sums, followed the Irish-American fail
ure.

KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts if Your
Back Hurts or Bladder
Troubles You.
No man or woman who eats meat reg
ularly i an make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a well-
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fall to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headache,
liver troub'e, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in ;
the kidneys or your hack hurts or if,
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of*
sediment, irregular of passage or at- 1
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop'
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Halts from any pharmacy: take a
tablespoonful in a g'ass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This- famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia. and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensix*e and can not
injure; makes a delightful effervescent J
.ithia water drink which every one t
should take now and then to keep the'
kidneys clean and active and tne blood
pure, thereby avoiding seri«*us kidse;
