Rome concent la felt by those who understand the question of the ex pense of encampments that the war depart men t has not made u mot e gen erous provision for Cum.!’ Wheeler. The most wholesome climate In t'<s world, the purest ulr and the most porous *< 'I cannot offset the effect <>t neglected sanitation. It is necessary to spend money- to keep u good health record. Kver. one knows that, the selle lor the camp is alt ideal one, so far ns hutural advantages ure con cerned, but natural advantages are not, ttiomth In themselves Money Is no ;ded to screen oft the tiles and to pay for the thousand and one little precautions against illness, which have been found so necessary. Tim war department has cut the expense account of t'amp Wheeler too dose We register this kick now, because in justice to Augusta this should he understood We nave no doubt that tlio appropriation for the camp will be expended with the utmost discre tion and Tor the moßt essential tilings, but it la a risk to nttenv t to take care of so many men on so little money. . The unfortunate thing Is that the health records of this cantp will be accepted ns euklutt for or against this community. While a few may realise Unit It Is impossible to secure the best health conditions when stint ed In necessary expenditures, the large majority of persons will blame th<» ellm'ite «nd situation If there Is Illness In the camp Our hope Is thnt despite the tnade ouate appropriation the nHturnl ad vant 'ges of the camp, combined with t+e watchful nttentlon and constant effort of It* managers, will prove great enough to overcoma this handl cap Rut we really ought to under stand that the encampment Is handi est pod hv its meager appropriation and face rite situation squarely. This iindfTatAßdlnff should prompt thoß<* »n authority to redouble their ef'orts to keep things In a strictly ssnllitry condition It should also prompt the eltv authorities to do as much as they conscientiously esn to aid In this work No one wants (’amp Wheeler to "bad advertise” Augusta. THE MULTIPLICATION OF COUNTIES. The making ot raan> counties goes merrily on Every session of the leg talature brings us a county or two. The county unit system also keeps on The combination Is an Ingenious one. Territory has a greater voting value than tolks By and by. a* we continue lo check off the land of Georgia into counties and continue to permit every county, regardless of the number of It* inhabitants to count as a unit according to the majority vote of its clUtens we shall lnil the city men just about disfranchised In «I 1 except local affaire. This may not happen Ht once, but there is no denying the fact that the county unit plan l* a rank discrimina tion against the citizen# ot counties in which there sre cities it Is an affront against democracy and an open acknowledgement that we don't Intend to "tost fair" in politics The advantage It gives to the voter In the country districts Is one which he should scorn to accepL Of course the multi llcatton of countiea merely aggravates the glsr ing Injustice and absurditv of this system, but so long as the county unit system remains the fetish of Georgia politicians and the Idol o Georgia’s country folk, we suppose this sort of thing will go from bad to worse Maybe, In time the citizens of the more thickly Inhabited counties will strike for their right# and Insist that the county divisions be applied to each city clock This might equalize things a bit and It might bring the City man back into power as an ac credited voter It would, of course, be simpler to abandon the county unit plan, but the politician* know how much easier It Is to fool the folk* In the country, than those In the cities and for thsl reason th# county unit system Is held m sacred and imperishable. ELEEPYTIME mum MILLIE'S CUP RACE. Once upon a time Millie's mother ! was cleaning off the supper table and as Millie teased so hard, she promised j her ahe could help wash the dishes. Millie thought she was a real big lady j housekeeper Instead of a tiny tot who could not even reach the kitchen table, : much less held the big platters and pans which mother had to wash. Her mother was called to the door to talk to a neighbor Just as she be gan to put the dishes In the pan and Millie was left alone in the kitchen. .She thought she would surprise her mother by washing the dishes while j she was out so she got a kitchen chair, put It up close to the sink and, climb ing up, turned the water Into the pan and began to put In the dishes. First she put In two cups and hs they began to float around she thought It would be much better fun to have a boat "cup'' race tha to wash all the dishes. So she started each cup from opposite sides of the pan, giving them a push and then watched to see which one would strike the side of the pan first. The yellow cup beat the white one every time, so pretty soon she changed nnd put the two side by side. She discovered that by turning the water Into the edge of the pan It made a swirl which sent the cups swishing around the circle of the pond, first one cup being ahead and then the other. Millie screamed with delight and she held many racea before mother came buck. When her mother did arrive Millie felt \ery sorry that she had not at tended to business and surprised moth - er by having the dishes all done but she was not scolded for her play for mother was a little girl herself and knew what a temptation It Is to play when little ones should work.

It ta a problem Isn’t It to know just wat to do with the caller who will neither go nor stay? A friend dropped In to see me the ! other dav Just about luncheon time I knew If Isatd "stay for luncheon." she I would reply. “Oh. no. I can't possibly. I must be going."

"Stay to lunch." and recelv led ns 1 expected, the answer; ‘•Oh. no. 1 can't possibly stay to ! Hunch. I must be going In a minute.” That was what she said. What she ' did was to stay an hour, during which I time 1 Invited her twice to stay and take lunch with me and twice received ■ tier refusal and the announcement that she was going In a minute. We alt have these friends. They are very apt to arrive at meal time, I or when we want to dress, or at some | other Inopportune moment. And no i matter how much we may press them to stay or tactfully tell them of our engagement, they will not stay. Neith er will they go. They simply keep us jon the anxious bench or the seat of | exasperation while meals spoil, or the clock stolidly announces the hour of our appointment, or hubby calls | wrathfully from above: “Are you ever THE WAYS OF THRIFT Copyrighted. 1914, American Society for Thrift. BOY SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE GIRLS. "Re Prepared " These words on the badges and in the "Scoutcraft" of the Boy Scouts of America are really a splendid definition of thrift. The oath* of a Boy Scout to he trust worthy. loyal, helpful, friendly, cour teous. kind, obedient, cheerful thrifty, brave clean and reverent are oath* which make for thrift.

The thrift law it explained in the Scout Handbook as follow*. "A *cout Tommie heard her say from his hiding place under the steps. Hungry and frightened, Tommie sat under the steps until he thought it safe to come out, and then he ran to the woods as fast as he could go. j He looked where he had seen the Brownie the day before, but he was not there now, and poor Tommy lay down beside the rock and began to' mew out his grief. "Hello, is It you making all this noise?" said some one, and Tommie looked up to see the Brownie stand ing on the rock looking down at him. ; “I heard someone making a mourn ful sound,” said the Brownie, “so I came out to see what Is the matter. : You have your wish, I see; you arc ; a big, white cat.

I will see what I can do for you." The Rrownle knocked on the rock • three times, and as It opened the | Brownie disappeared and Tommie | found hi* nose upon the cold rock as he tried to tollow his friend, for he did not want to lose sight of him un til he was changed Into a mouse. He had to wait, however, for th" rock closed and shut him outside, and j there he waited until he fell asleep. But he was no longer a cat when he awoke; he was a mouse again, and- Tommte Mouse was so happy he I lumped up and danced on his hind legs, ran over the rock beside him and squeaked for joy, but nowhere could he find the Brownie. So Tommie Mouse ran home. "I guess he knows how happy and thank ful I am; those Brownie fellows know everything," said Tommie. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure News paper Syndicate, New York City.)

Hut they don't go. With some friends, you can say bluntly, "You will really have to ex cuse me I have to go out In ten ■ minutes.” And it's all right. Hut you can't say it to the woman who neither stays nor goes. For she is the kind to get mortally offended at such plain speaking. Not being straightforward In her own dealings, she doesn’t relish straightforwardness where others deal with her. Probably the only way to manage such people Is to remove the hat from their head, by force if necessary and say positively, "You are going to stay to luncheon.” And then go about your own business whatever It may be. Or you can beg to be excused and If she gets offended, let her get offended, ami you bear with all the resignation you can the loss of her friendship.
