If death was a thing that money could buy, the rich would live and the poor would die. The thoughtful man or woman protect, their home and feel, com forted for so doing. When a man knowa It Is his duty to provide and protect his Invpd ones; he should not fall In his duty. . One of the most beneficial forms of philanthropy comes with the en deavor to protect, provide and bring happlnees to others. There are some that will belong to an order for many years and never draw a dollar In benefits of any kind, yet feel they have received full value In having the assurance that If ever they did need aesletance the same would be forthcoming without delay.

Borne of them are faater than others, and the average girl is quicker than a man and makea fewer mlstakea after she has learned her trade. They each have so many seats to watch, so many customers to serve, though they help each other when convenient. "Each waiter must serve n great many customers when a thousand are to be fed, you see.

They pay the waiters pretty well, I reckon, though not more than they earn. And they don't get this. Nobody thinks of tipping the waiter. “A lot of money taken In, you say?

"Dyspepsia?” The patrons of the counter do not Indicate It. If the time Is short so Is the luncheon. Perhaps It Is better to cat a tight meal In a few momenta than to spend an hour over a varied luncheon that one remembers uneasily through the remainder of the afternoon. The lunch counter custom ers are not given to Indlgestlblee. Breakfast foods have their popularity even In the middle of the day, and few besides the younger act, whose" dtges- tlon Is beyond attack, take any chances with the pastry. The "quick lunehera” look as healthy as the average man. C. F. MORGAN. Worshipful Master of Cobb County Masonic Convontion. B.»H. CARRIE. Secretary and treasurer of Cobb County Masonic Convention.

Promptly at 10 o'clock the different lodges, nine In number, assembled In the lodge rooms of Meyerhardt Lodge and the address of welcome was de livered by Worshipful Master C. F. Morgan.

Tips are not com mon here. The waller handles no change to remind the customer of lib erality and the average man would feel hardly called upon to give away a dime with every 20-rrnt luncheon.

Next to him Is one of the tellers and perhaps the bank's office boy Is further down the line. Bookkeepers, clerks, heads of big firms, all meet at the quick lunch counter and all are treated alike. Many acquaintances arc made here, ac quaintances which sometimes last for years, though neither of the lunch counter friends could tell th* other'* Telephone Cost Cannot be measured in dollars and cents.
