“THEY SAY."
li* it anybody** buslnew
If a awiltoman should choose
To wait upon a lady,
If the lady don't refuse'.’
Or, to speak a little plainer.
That the meaning all may know,
In It anylMtdy'H business
ls a lady has a beau?
Is It anybody’* huftiness
When that gentleman doth call,
Or when he leave* the lady,
Or If In* leave* at all?
<ir Is It necessary
Thai the curtain should be drawn,
To *aw«- from further trouble
Th« outside lookers-on?
Ts It anybody's business,
Hut the lady's. 1f her beau
Rid* 1 h out. with other Indian,
And doesn’t let her know?
Is it anybody'h business,
JBi.it the gentleman's, if she
Should accept another escort,
Where he doesn't chance to be?
If 8 person's on the sidewalk,
Whether areal, or whether small,
Is it anybody's business
Where that person means to call?
Or if you see n person
While he's calling anywhere,
Is it any of your business
Whit bis business may be therd?
The substance of our query,
•Imply stated, would be this:
Tr It anybody's business
What another's business is?
Whether 'tis, or whether ’iisn't,
We should really like to know,
For we're certain, if it isn’t,
There are lome'who make it so.
If it Ih, we’ll Join the rabble,
And act the noble pari
Of the tattlers and defenders.
Who throng the public mart;
I t. if not, we'll act the teacher,
Until each meddler learns,
Jt were better, In the future,
To mind his own concerns.

IMITATION VS. INDIVIDUALITY.
Grace Margaret Gould, fashion ed
itor of the Woman's Home Compan
ion, writes a wonderfully sensible and
practical and yet highly entertaining
article entitled Imitation Versus In
dividuality. She makes the point that
individuality is really what counts in
dress and in charm. It is being your
self at your best, not striving to copy
what is best someone quite different.
She says in part:
Every blessed one of us always to
look exactly as we never can look, so
we imitate some other woman, and
invariably she is our direct opposite
“There is the fat woman, for in
stance. who is always yearning to lie
a slyph if she only wears the same
sort of clothes that her sylphlike
wear. The trouble is that, no matter
how hard she tries or what agonies
she endures. she is never able to
make anything out of herself but a
fat sylph. And the irony of this is too
cruel to dwell upon!
"Then there is the lean woman,
whose arms resemble broom handles
and whose scrawny neck is never fit
to tie seen. She feels that in a big
measure it is the dress that makes
her plump friend across the wav look
so attractive and seem so cheery, so
she decides to copy the dress, with
the expectation of gaining her neigh
bor's charm.
“The dumpy woman, too, has an
idea that she can look taller ami real
ly have a commanding air of style If
site chii only follow the dress example
of hdl' tall, stately, stylish sister.
“It is the same way with the dowdy
woman, the elumy woman, the home
ly won an, the long-throat giraffe
looking woman—they all reason
alike.
"Each one forgets that while she
may cofy a dress, she cannot copy the
personality .that gives that dress its
fit and grace and style. She does not
stop to reason out that to imitate is
to be intellectually lazy. It is letting
that stylish woman she so envies and
admires do her thinking for her and
the result of that is disastrous. ’ The
selfsame stylish woman is not think
ing for her. but for herself.”
SHE KNEW.
He—" You understand what a margin
in stocks is, don t you?"

put up and lose."

Carolina Cattle Cannot Come
to Richmond County.
Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 8, 1914.
To The Herald:
Our attention has been called to
movements of cattle from the quaran- (
lined area of South Carolir i into Rich
mond county, Georgia.
From the fact that the county offi
cials, farmers and in co
operation with the state of Georgia and
the United States Department of Agri
culture are spending large sums of mon
ey to free the farms of Richmond coun
ty of the cattle-fever tick, it is eticumb
ment upon the government to protect
the citizens of Richmond county from
reinfestation of cattle-ticks from other i
states.
Therefore, any person moving cattle
from Aiken county, .South Carolina into
Richmond county, Georgia, without com
plying with tiie federal regulations,
which require inspection, disinfection
and certification, are laying themselves
liable to prosecution in the federal
courts.
Officials in charge of the work in
Richmond county. Georgia have been di
rected to thoroughly investigate all ir
regular movements and report the facts,
in order that steps may be taken to pro- j
tect Richmond county territory.
Very respectfully,
E. M. NIGH EBERT. ,

To The Herald:
I noticed in tins column of your pa
per ;in article signed "Worried” who
wants a bug exterminator. Bee Brand
Insect Powder is never known to have
failed.
ONE WHO KNOWS.
To The Herald:
While your editor was asleep (we
hope) yesterday, someone slipped
into your Speaking the Public Mind
column a little note that had some
thing of the effect of a dynamite cap
sule on the-unsuspecting public. lam
sure that 1 voice the wishes of a num
ber of people in requesting you to be
more careful. It comes with some
thing of a shock, when reading quietly
by your fireside, you are suddenly
confronted with the bland question:
How, O, How, to exterminate Bed
bugs! I must protest that this is not
*>ne of the things we ask each other.
Brrrrr—.
See if you can’t discover a method
of exterminating them in the columns
of The Herald:
PAINED PUBLIC.
;To The Herald:
j In reply to a question asked in your
! paper yesterday by someone signing
j themselmes “Worried,” wanting to
I know a way to exterminate a certain
| nocturnal insect which I refrain from
j mentioning by name; though they
; didn’t, I should like to offer a few sug
i gestions.
j A very effective way is to shoot
j them. First drink about three pints
j of whiskey (gin will do if ttie other is
unavailable) turn out the light and
J go to bed, with a loaded pistol clench-
I ed tightly in the right hand. When
j the loathsome ones comes out (which
they ought to do in about 72 seconds)
leap up, turn on the light and fire
lapidly at the hastily retreating form*
until your cartridges are exhausted,
or as long as an enemy is in sight.
Then start over again at the begin
ning, omitting tiie whiskey, and re
peat the operation until the whole
race of obnoxious guests is extinct.
Another way is to swallow about
eight ounces of Arsenic in liquid form,
and then lie in wait for. the little
darlings. One bite of you then will
put an end to them one at a time.
Elephants have also been trained
very cunningly to catch them alive.
If you can afford to buy an elephant
which is really proficient in the art,
he will soon rid your house of their
presence. Or, if it happens to be a
female elephant, she will soon do it.
You can also set steel traps for the
smaller ones, if other means fail.
Simple-minded people can he used for
bait.

A STORY OF A HAPPY HOME.
To The Herald-
I want to tell you about a happy
home here in this city, where most of
what we see and hear is about some
body’s unhappiness in home or life
in general. 1 met my wife when she
was IS years old; fell in love with her
on the spot. We were married when
she was 18 years old. Now. after
many years of married life, I love her
more than ever. These years have
proved her true worth in eyery re
si ect. I get up at 4:50 o'clock in the
morning and make coffee, fry meat
and eggs for breakfast. By this time
my wife is up, dressed, hair combed,
collar on, ready to receive the Presi
dent of the United States or anybody
else. She comes in and puts the cream
and butter on the table, slices the
bread, and in a sweet, cherry tone an-

nounces. “I* have breakfast ready.''
She accents the pronoun and smiles,
because she knows that I am rather
proud of the fact that I am a help to
her in preparing the early morning
meal. She reads a verse from the
Bible, while the senior partner returns
thanks. Then we set to our tasks.
At evening I am met with a smile
and a fond kiss. And there is the
savory odor of a delightful dinner my
loving wife has ready for me. After
it is thoroughly enjoyed then what?
Why, The Herald, of course! It is
clean, dependable, honest, full of all
the news and literary matter with the
.Sandman Story, which the children
enjoy. Happy homes? I should smile
a “Yes" that is a mile long. The
other kind of homes are the excep
tions. and l pity those who are in
them. We live on a 4-room cottage,
have fine neighbors and a nice little
church. We could not get along with
out the church and the many good
people in It. You unhappy people,
rub out the past and start all over.
Get i nthe game of living right, and
it will be a joy throughout life to you
and to all associated with you.

ARE WIVES DRONES IN THE
HIVE?
To The Herald:
There is a feeling of unrest among
(be women of the Fnited States to
day that be quieted or the con
sequences will be direful. This warn
ing' may be met with sneers and
scoffing but time alone will tell. The
average American man today is a
slave to his wife.
What duties does the wife accept?
According to statistics, not one in ten
families have more than one child.
Thousands have' none. The husband,
and let us bear in mind that we are
speaking of the average American,
works in his office, factory or wher
-1 ever he may be employed from at
least six to eight hours a day.
She perhaps cooks two meals, dusts,
'sweeps and washes the dishes. Few
average American women today do
washing and no self respecting hus
band would have them. But compare
their day’s routine with that of the
husband. Is there any worry? If
any what ? Do any keep an account
l of their time during the day? If they
i so desire to walk out for an afte’’-
I noon, is there anyone to complain? II
I they wish to sleep and feel weary,
is there any one to say nay? How
i about the husband? Is his time his
| own? Are not the worries and care
! ol’ business or his work so great as to
make the duties of the housewife
I seem small in comparison?
Rminent foreign writers have said
I that the American man is a slave and
point to conditions in their own coun
tries.
We hear people often complain that
young men are not marrying today.
The reason is easy. Young men of
the right kind in (he United States
today are afraid to marry unless they
have an established income of large
proportions.
American women today must begin
to use the rood sense which they
possess. All sober minded men will
admit, if given the proper opportun
ity. that it would he well for the
lovelier sex to stop look and listen.

Endorses Vegetable Depot.
To The Herald:
1 shall welcome the return of a place
where 1 can go each morning to pur
chase whatever I choose to eat. In the
old days every one went to market.
There could be found every conceivable
vegetable, plenty of the choicest cuts of
meat, etc., and it was a real pleasure to
be able to do one's own shopping. lam
not sure bow the vegetable depot or
market house plan will take with some
of the recent generation, but I do know
that we old-timers will welcome its re
turn Of course, it may he practicable
to sell only country produce, vegetables,
etc., there, but we can get along very
well as we have been doing for years.
Ihat is buying our meat from the butch
er and the staple groceries from the
grocer. But,we do want a place where
we can get fresh vegetables each morn
ing without running all over town or
phoning around everywhere to get them,
i Vnd then, too, we are annoyed all day
i long bv hucksters and venders of fruits
! and vegetables and chickens and eggs
when we have plenty of such nrtiries.
