Atlanta, Ga.. Oct. 30—German
spies in the United States are
trying to undermine public pub
lic confidence in the Red Cross
by putting in circulation all sorts
of false reports and inuendos
concerning that institution, of
which President Wilson is the
head.
This campaign, sneaking and
underground, is exactly in keep
ing with German tactics in every
country. They have tried to
frighten the people away from
conserving food by spreading the
lie that the government was
planning to seize and confiscate
the contents of the people’s pan
tries, which is so absurd and ri
diculous that it would seem un
worthy of belief by any man or
woman.
Home Circle Column.
Pleasant Evening Reveries—A Column Dedi
cated to Tired Mothers as They Join the
Home Circle at Evening Tide.
Let us take time to get acquainted with our families. The
wealth you are accummulating may be a doubtful blessing
to the son who is a stranger to you. Your beautifully kept
house, busy mother, can never be a home to the daughter
whom you have no time to caress,
People who make mistakes are those who quarrel with one
another before their children ; or who allow the latter to grow
up in idleness; those who talk about their troubles before
strangers; the father wflo .iclls his children to go the way he
does no go himself, and the young woman who does not
make a confident of her mother.
A single bitter word may disquiet the home for a whole
day, but like unexpected flowers which spring up along our
path, full of freshness and beauty, so do kind words and gen
tle acts and sweet dispositions make glad the home where
peace and blessings dwell, The heart will turn lovingly 7 to
ward it from all the tumults of the world, and home, “be it
ever so humble,” will be the dearest spot under the sun.
Every boy is going to have a confident, someone to whom
he can tell his secrets and whisper his hopes and ambitions
which he would not breath to others. We take it for grant
ed that his mother will stand nearer to him than any other
person, but every boy will have some mail friend who will
stand in a peculiar relation to him. This friend, the confi
dent, should be his father. You cannot afford to have your
boy feel that you are too busy or too indifferent to tell hint
how to fly his kite or bait his hook or make a toy or to play 7
games with him. If you begin early enough, it is compara
tivelyeasy for you ,t of gain your boy’s confidence. From in
fancy lie should grow up to leel that no one else i*in take
your place; that you stand in a peculiar relation to h ; rn, which
no one can fill.
' ■— ■ ' ■- ■ ■ ' ' ~
There are hundreds .of young men in every great city in
the very lowest depths of degradation whom ‘he h >me in
fluence, carefully 7 and prayerfully exien led through tender,
affectionate, w omanly letters, might !;: ve s .v. and. There are
hundreds of others just taking their first lesson n vice, who
may be brought back to purity 7 by losing worth-, t o n moth
ers, sisters or sweethearts. Until a man bcioaies tlioruly
vicious, the thought of a pure woman’s love will do much to
restrain him from iniquity. If that love <_rows careless of
him, he grows "careless of himself. T hink of this, you who
have sons, brothers or lovers a wav among i G angers. Re
member that you owe him a sacred duty ; anil give them fre
quent missives from home, freighted with love and accom
panied by earnest prayer.
We cannot honor with too deep a reverence the home af
lections ; we cannot cherish them with too much solicitude.
Members of the home circle lose nothing by being polite and
kind to one anofher. Little children are such imitative crea
tures; if the father shows kindly attention to mother, bright
eyes will see the act and arc sure to do just like papa.
We doubt if one instance in a thousand can be found of a
young man’s making shipwreck of hope and character who
was accustomed t~ spend his evenings at home reading good
books : and we say to any parent that a well stocked library
and an abundant supply of newspapers and magazines, with
the habit of reading on the part of your boy, is worth more
to keep him out of mischief and to make a man of him, than
any other single influence at your command.
The old fashioned office boy who swears, smokes cigarets
and is impertinent usually, and reads clime novels in a corn
er, or loafs when he is sent on an important errand, is fast
disappearing and it is predicted that in the course of time the
office girl will entirely have taken his place.
