IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE ON
THE GEORGIA RAILROAD.
Tho announcement that the mitn
ayemAnt of the OenrKlH Railroad la
contemplating a vaatly Improve f train
service for the travel Mint public and
for the patrons of that road will be
received with Intereat throughout the
entire country.
A careful readme of the proposed
achedule ahowa that the local travel
and train aervtce ia not to he curtail
ed. save at the Atlanta end of the
road, where electric lines parallel the
Georgia and have taken away by their
frequent acheduleg most of the pat
ronajfc of these short local trains.
The local service out of Augusta
and to other points along the line
has noi been Interfered with, save
for the necessary small changes In
arrivals and departures to make bet
ter connections
By the new changes through service
la being offered to a large section of
the country, with the co-operation of
the Coast Line and the Southern Rail
road, which heretofore lias had no
•urh service. This means more trains
out of Augusta through the co-opera
tion of the Coast Une, the Southern
and Georgia Railroad
The new management of the Geor
gia Railroad la making good Ita prom
lae to do what It ran for the upbuild
ing of this city and aertlnn, and fur
nishing its patrons and the travelling
public with a progressive and ade
quate railroad service
We trust these new changes are
but a step In the direction oT through
train service, New York to New Or
leans, and from Chicago and the West
to this section of the South. For
years Augusta and this section has
been aide tracked and the current of
through travel has passed to one skle
but the growth of this city and sec
tion la demanding more and more at
tention at the hands of the railroad

ENTHUBI ASM.
From 'The Power of Mental IVmand,"
by Herbert Edward Isiw, publish
ed by Paul Elder and Company.
Bnthustasm Is fslth In action. "Faith
believeth all things.” Enthusiasm puts
that belief to the teat. The enthusiast
believes that the thing can be done;
he has faith to believe that It ought
to be done; he has enthusiasm to do
It. To the unthinking, enthusiasm is
but the foam on the deeply stirred wa
ters. In truth,-It Is the striving of the
waters themselves. It Is the very life
of effort
“CLEAN UP” WEEK Si GET READY
T< the Householders of Augusta:
llow shout the manure pile on your promises? fs> you keep cowa or
horses? If so. what do you do with the stable manure?
thi you know, or have >\mi over atopited to think, that the one placa
of all others whore the house fly la hrod Is In stable manure? Huppose
that you do want to save this manure for fertiliser In the garden or to ex
ohango with some oountryman for a load of hedging for your stook, did It
ever occur to you that while you are doing thla you are maintaining a
hatchery for files, which are always a nuisance to you and to your neigh
bor. and frequently an actual aourcefor the dissemination of diseases. The
bouse fly lays Its eggs In stable maure. Those eggs In a little while hatch
Into magots. and Inalde of fourteen days develop Into full grown files.
M odern scientific research has convicted the house fly of being one of the
■non! potent factors In the causation of typhoid fever and a factor of consid
erable moment In the production of summer diarrhoea of children, of
tuberculosis and of other Infectious diseases The house fly Is indiscrim
inate In hi* feeding habits, and routes to your kitchen or your table very
often directly from contact contact with every kind of filth. Ills feet are
covered with germs which he acquires In his dally rounds, and which hs
Is always ready to wipe off uiam any food stuff which Is left before him.
As a part of the spring cleaning, we nsk you to do one of two
things either get rid of manure pile on your premises, or If It Is so pre
cious to you that you cannot part part with It, have a bln constructed. In
accordance with the Hoard of Health ordinance, In which you may store
your treasure and yet keep files out of It.
THE ORDINANCE READS AS FOLLOWS:
"No uncovered manure pile wll be permitted in the city limits.
Stable manure may ba placed out in the tame manner te other garbage
for removal by the scavenger department. ,
"Any person desiring to keep manure upon their premieet shall
provide themselves with a barrel, pit, or bin, which thall ba kept covered
at ALL TIMES with wire gaura netting of sufficiently small meth to
keep out flies.
"All stables shall be cleaned out and provided with fresh bedding
whenever ordered by the sanitary inspector."
No ordinance can be made fully efficient writhout the active co
operation of the people whom It Is intended to protect, As fair-minded
rltlfcena of some sense of civic responsibility, we nsk you to reflect wheth
er or not li Is right for you to man tain upon your premises a hatchery
for flies
Wouldn’t II be n good plan to get |l all out now. and after ten
days practice in removing your manure dully ua garbage,' wouldn't ft lie
worth while to keep the pra< lice up all summer? It means comfort for
you, comfort for your neighbors, and a cleaner and a healthier city. Think
It over, and help us out with this part of the work

The Manicure Lady
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
“There was some play In town here
about a old Persian guy that madu
tents and was » wine booster, wasn’t
there, George?" asked the Manicure
Lady,
"I think 1 heard my wife Maying
something about It,” said the Head
Barber, "hut I didn't pay no particu
lar attention to It Why?"
"Oh, brother Wilfred haa gone kind
of looney over It," aald the Manicure
1-ady. "I think he seen It, or read a
lot about It or something. Anyhow,
nil we hear around the house now Is
Omar. Omar, or Wine, Wine. Alter
he talked t.he old man deaf and blind
about It, he started In on the rest of
us, and I don't know where ull of it
Is going to stop. He was telling us
more dope ahout the old guy Inst
night, lie said that Omar not only
made some perfectly grand tents to
go camping out In, but that he wrote
swell poetry, too. He recited some of
it to ue, hut me and May me couldn’t
make any head or tall to It Here
Is one of the verses he wrote down
Listen and see U you can make any
sense out of It.
"Up from earth's center to the
Seventh (late,
I passed, and on the throne of Saturn
sate.
And many a knot did I unravel
there,
But not the mastern knot of Human
fate."
"Don't bother me with li,” said the
Head Barber impatiently. "IT you
can’t talk about something in this
country, don't talk at all.”
“I knew you wouldn't be able to
make no head or tall to It," said the
Manicure l.aoy, “but I wasn't Rolng
to bother you with no more of the Per
sian feller's poetry. I only wanted to
r< ad you gome verses of the same me
teor, or whatever Wilfred calls it. Ho
wrote them himself, and I know you
will listen to them to please me,
won't you George,' There ain't any
customers coming Along, and you got
all the time In the world.”
"I suppose I will have to listen,“
said the Head Barber with desperate
courage "(In ahead.”
"This is them," said the Manicure
I-ady.

When I am writing poetry that will
stay ?
1 sometimes think that I will write
no more.
Although I hate to make my readers
sore.
For every poem of mine my readers
read
I know that they would like to read a
score.
And thnt is why I write and still shall
write
Until the coming of the Eternal
Night,
But oh. 1 wish that 1 could sell my

BILL GETS A JOB
"Not on your life." said Bill. "That I
stuff has caused me enough worry for i
the time being.”
The next day Bill met his friend at :
noon time "Well, BUI," said JjiA
friend, "I’ve got some good news for ,
you I got Tired when I went back to ;
the Job this morning, so you hike
over there and tnavbe you can get it.
But don't tell 'em you know me, for
it w on't help you any " Bill told hint
how sorry he was. biit his friend said;
"Oh. I guess l had it coming to me
all right. If I'd let the booze alone
Because I have an awful appetite."
"I'm glad you got through reading
that. 1 was Just going to atop you.
said the Head Barber.
"I think It sounda Juat aa good a*
that Persian feller's poetry," declar
ed the Manicure Lady "And It la a
lot easier to understand.'
"Tiie only hard thing to understand
about It," said the Head Barber, "la
why he wrote It at all. Ah, hero
comes a live one!"
Beginning Again
The poem Is without title, but tho
first slnnzu reads thus:
I wish that thfere were oolite wonderful
place
Called the Land of Beginning Again.
Where all our mistakes and all our
heartachea
And all of our poor selflah grief
Could be dropped, like a shabby old
rout, at the door.
And never be put on again.
I guess this wish Is about as com
mon among folks generally as the de
sire for three meals a day. Yet—
If you are a-wishing some wonderful
place
Called the Land of Begin l - Rain.
Where all your ounsW yopr
stumbles If)''
And sll of ye ..row and pain
Could bo dro m<- a shabby old
coat, at the door.
Nevermore to be worn among men—
Let me tell you, my friend, that Jugt
such a fine place •
Is next door to the house where
you live —
Next door to the house whose front
poreh Is your face.
And whose walls are the efforts you
give
To be honest and kind and to do your
work well
And help others live while you live!
Its limits are boundless; there's room
for each one
Who wishes a home in that land.
And whatever you’ve done or have left
all undone
Doesn't matter —your dwelling is
planned
Bo that when you go in you put off
all' the things
That have mocked you on every
hand.
The name of this wonderful land is
TODAY,
The road to its gate is your will,
When your .mind is made up you are
well on the way-
But your Journey Is fruitless until
You know In your soul that the past
Is stone dead
And that all your regretting Is nil.
Yes, NOW, at this moment, you stand
at the gate
To the Land of Beginning
Of course, If you choose, you may
falter and wait.
But It's mighty poor policy when
You can enter with such a small key
as "I WILL”
And make a fresh start among m§n.
It Is never too late
To start in on the way;
For however you wait
It is always TODAY’—
Tho Land of Beginning Again!
everything would have been all right.
But 1 didn’t. Bill, so now you'll beat
It over there and see if you can’t
spear the job—for re’ve got to eat,
y' know."
Bill went “over." landed a joJ>—-not
us good as the one his friend had held,
! hut It was a start, any way. And he
was to start In the next morning.
That night he wrote a long letter to
his mother and one to Emily, telling
them of his good fortune. H. C.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
From the Haverhill Gazette.
If you wish to understand the liv
ing actiivitles of men—and of women—
and what the modern crowds on the
modern streets are after, read the ad
vertisements. The beginnings of
homes and of new and perhaps remar
kable families are to he found in the
"want columns.” These columns are
always full of romance in the rough.
To save postage an American editor
tore all the advertisements from a
hatch of papers before sending them
to Kipling The novelist and poet re
monstrated by return mail "Don't
tear the advertisements. I like them
best. I can write the stories myself.”
Think for a moment what the mod
ern newspaper would be without Its
advertisements, of how much less val
ue it would be to the historian of the
future, of how much smaller value to
the purchaser of today! Countless
persons have learned to await the an
nouncements of the sellers of what
they have to offer before they think
of making their regular or irregular
purchases. Without these announce
ments they would be at a loss.
The advertisements are an index of
the activities of trade. They tell its
story in a sprightly and often an il
lustrated form and with definite de
tail. The man or the firm that put
the most brain Into its advertising, and
uses the best brain in placing his ad
vertisements, Is the one that will get
the best return from the labor and
the expenditure. Thus, advertising
has become almost a definite science,
but like work in so many of the
sciences it needs some of what has
been called the "scientific imagina
tion.” It needs a kind of Napoleonic
boldness to grasp special situations
and crisis, and, by a massing of forces
to turn i>osslble defeat into sure vic
tory.
Advertising is not only a science, it
is a gdod deal of a knack. Why is it
that you rend one man's advertise
ment with interest and avidity, and
are almost repelled by that of another?
It lies in the knack of presenting the
material. To be a great novelist, or
a great advertiser requires genius.
Somebody has said that genius is an
infinite capacity for taking pains. But
this Is not all. It is hard work backed
by a little scientific imagination and
by what other ingredients of the kind
one can get into It.

nothing on fashion designers by way
of being peculiar.
Presumably France Is responsible
for the riotous effects that stampede
us each season. At any rate, the
mannequins at the Auteuil races pro
claim Lo a waiting world the Anal
stitch in the style edicts.
And new Dame Fashion has de
creed that the skirt with the short
wheel base must go!
This season's mannequins actually
appeared in gowns which accord per
fectly with low heels and high prin
ciples. There were no impressionis
tic blouses, no sleeves on the half
shell, no hats that look as If they
were in the high seas of a hang-over,
no waistlines with an exaggerated
ego. Result; A decent gown cre
ated the biggest sensation of the day,
solely because of its novelty!
It would not be surprising to sea
the style pendulum swing from the
present custom of wearing only the
scenario of a dress back to the kind
mother used to make. Yet there are
some gowns to be observed, perfectly
decorous, but looking like a bunch of
balloons, flying from strings in the
street faker’s hand. To moralize,
then, is as bootless as to frown or
grin.’
