TUESDAY, NOVEMBER ID. How Big Home Market May be Developed by Living at Home, Buying Augusta-Made Goods and Country Produce Direct From the Farms (Continued from Page One). ment should be fostered, adopted and made to become a part of the daily life and living of Augustans. The purpose of Live at Home, Trade at Home, Made at Home Week, next week, is simply to afford the people of Augusta the opportunity to ac quaint themselves with what kinds of geods -and articles are made in Au gusta mills, shops and factories, where they can be secure*! when they are needed, and to cultivate the habit of calling for and insisting upon having Augusta-made goods in preference to ' those made elsewhere —that and form ing a connecting link, as it were, be tween the farmer and the city dwell er, between the producer and the con sumer on a direct-from-the-farm-to the-table basis. The Why of It All. The only one way that an adequate appreciation of what Augusta’s mills - and factories mean to Augusta may be had would be to stop Augusta’s J payroll, to shut it off entirely. Then, if in addition, all the farmers of this immediate section should find another * market for buying and selling, think what that would mean. There would not be enough money in circulation here to buy railroad tickets for the f thousands who would be fleeing the city as from a plague nor enough trains to carry them; property values would tumble, business houses would close up their shutters ayd every bank would go broke. Of course ali this is mere supposi tion, merely an illustration. But, on the ot.ier hand, there is a more pleas ing picture to sketch. The payroll—the money Augusta -shop- and mills and factoric pay out to operatives, mechanics and employes which is so vital a force and factor in the genera! scheme of things—can be greatly and abundantly increased, and the amount of money the farm ers of this immediate section spend i here each year can he easily doubled. -It rests with the people of Augusta, the buying public, and particularly - with the women of Augusta, to do these things, to accomplish this, if they will. What It May.Leaa T-. There is plenty and enough of wha! r Augusta must of necessity buy eve.-y > day in the year which is not made h; "Augusta. Bight there another won derful possibility beckons. Ones the people of Augusta begin to think in terms of living at home and .form the habit of buying Augusta made goods and articles, it will follow /as s rely as the dawn follow's th* hours of darkness that a. city where the manufacturer may avail himsell ,of community co-operation W'ill at tract other industries. It is the surest Why to induce outside capital to come here. Augusta is known far anfl wide as a goods manufacturing cents* ''and Augusta will alw'ays be that; but the list of different articles that are made here, as published in The Sun «day Herald, was generally read with interest for the reason that it con tained some surprises for almost ev ery one. Augusta is a cotton goods manufacturing center, but she has al ready made some strides toward di versified manufacturing; and if the . people of Augusta as a whole will live at home fifty-two weeks in the year and always buy Augusta-made goods Some of Best Printing Offices in the South Located Here In Augusta Question Came Up When Augusta Business Man Was Dis cussing The Herald’s Plan to Spend Augsta Money in Au gusta. Local Firms Capable of Handling the Business. “Did you know that we have some of the best equipped printing offices in the South located here in Augus ta?” asked an Augusta business man the other day, when discussing The Herald’s plan to spend Augusta mon ey in Augusta. “They are as well prepared for handling large orders as well as the smaller ones, of course, as any print ers in the state. If the average Au gustan would take the time to ac quaint himself with the means and resources, of some of the Augusta printing houses, he would be sur prised to know that they have tffe most modern and up-to-date machin ery installed. This goes to show that there is no necessity of any man tn the city sending his work out of Au Let Every. Aupstan Say When Buying, “Give Me an Augusta-Made Mattress” Another Augustan Praises The Herald’s Idea of Buying Home- Made Goods. “Would Go Further,” He Says, “to Bring About Better Conditions Than Anything Else.” I commend The Herald in the high est terms.” said an Augustan last Week, “for arousing the people to the importance of buying home-made goods. Think what it would mean to this city. Why, it would go further toward bringing about better condi tions than anything else. Take for example the one item of mattresses. Suppose every man or woman in Au gusta who sleeps on mattresses—and I hope there are none who do not— would say ‘give me an* Augusta-made mattress’ and insist upon having no other, don’t you know It would mean that we would have one of the largest manufacturing plants of the kind to be found In any city In the South? If every Augustan would school him self to think that he could not rest comfortably except on an Augusta made mattress this of itself. wQUId »olve the mattress question. “But of course we would not stop *t mattresses. We would take up ill the other branches of industry and manufacture In the city snd bring ourselves to the realization that thei" are none quite so good as those made a. home, and take no substitute when says ’here’s one Just is Every man and woman tn the city should feel it his and her duty to ask for—demand —Augusta-mads goods." By keep'ng Augusta money in Au gusta it will help more than anything in preference to others, there is no reason why the list of diversified manufactories will not double and treble itself in a reasonable length of time. * Some Possibilities. Whenever a new manufacturing in dustry is located here the announce ment is always and quite naturally hailed with pleasure. It is always gratifying because it means more money turned loose in Augusta, a larger payroll—it increases the buy ing power of the Augusta public. Still, with as splendid a location for manufactories as anywhere in the South, w'ith ample power and an abundance of labor, with none of the problems attaching to labor in some other sections of the country, other cities which cannot boast of Augusta’s advantages, have dozens of diversi fied industries. The list In The Sunday Herald al ready referred to serves likewise to emphasize the lack of certain articles which- might be manufactured here. Augu«a might be reaping the benefits from payrolls of hosiery mills, overall factories, a cannery, furniture facto ries, pencil factories, and a dozen oth ers, all of which are needed here and all of which will come in time if the people of Augusta become thoroughly inoculated with the Live at Home, Trade at Home, Made at Home senti ment and live by it daily. Develop a Home Market, Nothing could he easier or simpler than developing a home market for home products. The farmer, who must turn now from cotton and become a producer, a feeder, is going to begin living at home. He has already be gun. It is no more vital that the far mer live at home than I hat the city dweller live at home. Growing food products instead of cotton, the far mer must of necessity find a market for his produce raised in addition to what he needs to supply his own farm. The city dweller, who cannot produce his own food must buy food. Why not buy it from the farmer wno lives near Augusta, who trades in Au gusta with Augusta merchants and who patronizes Augusta professional men, hanks and other Augusta insti tutions instead of the farmers in some other and remote section of country who probably do not know that Au gusta is on the map? The fundamental idea is to make Augusta and the Augusta section mors self-sustaining than ever before. New Era Dawning. Perhaps it has been that in the past the Augusta manufacturer, in rely ing upon an outside market or a for eign market, has neglected the home market. If so he is waking up now i and in the Live at Home, Buy. at Home, Made at Home movement lie is ready and willing to do his share. He is co-operating to make Live at Home, Buy at Home, Made at Home, Order at Home, Pay at Home, Help at Home Week a success. The retail merchant is willing to handle Augusta-made goods In pref erence to others and to keep them in stock. The big buying public of Augusta is taking on to the plan of living at home j in the fullest sense of the term. There is abundant promise for the future. Next Monday Live at Home. Buy at Home, Made at Home Week be gins. gusta; it can be done as well here at home as anywhere in the coun try, And yet, I am ashamed to say it, there are a number of prominent busi ness men who send their orders to other cities in preference to having their work done here. It means send ing Augusta money away—instead of keeping it in Augusta. This spirit will never build up a city; it does not encourage home Industries. Every man in Augusta should feel it his duty to spend his money with home firms." This is the right ring—the true spir it of patriotism. If this trade-at home feeling could be instilled into every man and woman in Augusta thousands of dollars that are now be ing sent away would be kept in cir culation here. It’s worth the test. else to bring about a revtval of busi ness; it will enable Mr. Jones to pgy Mr. Smith, Hnd so on through the marts of commercial traffic. Try it and let’s aeo if it’s not a solution of the problem. PRAISIf CRUISER SALEM’S “BOILER ROOM” HEROES Washington. Secretary Daniels wrote letters of commendation today to James Cullen, chief ma chinist, and John Reid and Robert M. Nelson, boiler makers of the scout cruiser Salem for the courage they displayed when boiler tubes on the little warship blew out last June. The three men fought their way into the Salem"s fire room after the explosion, closed the stop valves on the boilers and extinguished the fires. One man was killed and two wound ed by the explosion. How many people do you suppose will ha willing to live In an unwired home five years from today? MISS MORAN, SUPERINTENDENT CITY HOSPITAL ANSWERS RECENT ATTACK Says Hospital is Not Run in Slipshod Manner as Alleged and States That Mr. Pilcher as Chairman of Hospital Commit tee Did Not Visit Hospital and Therefore How Does He Know ? Miss Mary A. Moran, superintendent of the City hospital, has issued a state ment In reply to the charges of Chair man Thomas W. Pilcher, of the hos pital committee of city council, made in council at the last monthly meeting. Mr. Pilcher charges that there had been a lack of economy in expendi tures of appropriations. Miss Moran takes issue with Mr. Pilcher and her statement in full appears below She Is Ft present in a hospital in Philadel phia : St. Agnes Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa. Being still confined to bed on ac count of a general breakdown in my health, due to overwork attached to 1 the duties of my posltfon as superin tendent of City Hospital, what was my surprise to read ort November lid, the statement of Mr. T. W. Pilcher, charg ing “that there had been a lack of economy in the expenditures of appro priations made to City Hospital by 1 city council.'and that as he had been chairman of the hospital committee of council for past two years, he was in a position to know that the business end of the institution had been run in a slipshod manner.” As superintendent of the hospital I take exception to his remarks, and if I am "only a woman” I understand as much about business as the average man. In the first place Mr. Pilcher knows nothing about the business methods of the City Hospital. At no time since lie lias been chairman of this commit toe has he come to the hospital to find out anything of existing condi tions at the hospital. I was courte ous enough to 'mail him our annual re port, and fyrther than that he has never tried to find out from me any thing about either finances or statistics at the hospital. I believe lie did visit a relative a few times while she was at the hospital, and once came to In inspect some Samples for the new building. How. then, can lie say the busi ness is run in a slipshod manner? His predecessor, Mr. Puller, took an in terest in us, and came to the hospital and consulted with me, and I feel sure he will say I was always glad and anxious to tell him anything I could, and appreciated his interest in the in ! stitution. Do Not Have Corps of Clerks. It is true we do not have a corps of clerks to do our bookkeeping and keep our records and accounts, but that is due to th fact that our appropriation will not allow 'me this comfort, which is allowed the city council; yet I am sure no hospital in the South has any more correct statistics o%accounts of receipts and expenditures than llie City Hospital; yet all is done, with i the assistance of an auditor once a | month, by the superintendent of the | hospital, in addition to my other nu merous duties. This can he vouched for by any one at all familiar with the workings of the institution. Now, let me state that contracts for ice, coal, wood, meat., milk and laun dry are given by the chairman of the hoard. T have contracted for gauze, cotton, adhesive plaster and rubber gloves. Of course, we do not get electric light and power or gas by contract. Nor drugs, groceries or fruits Eggs and chickens are procured from famers at the door and paid for out of cash for which vouchers are received; thus to procure these articles fresh for .our sick patients. I may state here that a signed voucher is received for all expenditures. Dry goods are bought from firms that sell goods suitable for hospital purposes at the cheapest prices. Pref erence is always given to local firms, unless their prmes are above outside competitiors. Groceries could he pro cured cheaper in larger quantities If we had a storeroom. As it is we take advantage of the best prices obtain able. When I took charge of the City Hospital twelve years ago, the receipts from the private department were about $450 a month; during my term of office they have increased to an average of from $1,600 to $1,600 a month and over. This does not look like slipshod busi ness. Twelve years ago the city ap propriation was $14,000 a ■ year. To day it is exactly the Ane. in spite of the fact that our census welly has dou bled and perhaps trebled itself. I would give exact figures were I able to be at my post of duty. This has only been at all possible by the using the revenue derived from the private department to help sustain the free de partment. Of the $14,000 given an nually to the City Hospital by coun cil about one-half is used for the free cases of City Hospital. The bal ance goes to pay for drugs, etc., used at the outpatient department of th* dispensary, the Lamor Hospital, the city physicians, the Jail, barracks, and all charitable institutions In town, as wel as to supply drugs free to the Wll henford Hospital and the Contagious Disease Hospital. $25,000 Not Appropriated. Mr. Pilcher* says $26,000 Is appro priated annually for City Hospital. Ho is mistaken, as $2,500 of this amount goes to the Wilhonford Hospital, In addition to the City Hospital paying for its drugs, and this is a private in stitution. It does not take a very experienced accountant long to see why our funds will not at present maintain the free department as easily as they did twelve years ego. For two reasons—first, the increased cost of all commodities as well as labor; and, next, the greatly increased census. I am certain no member of council Is eatable of buy ing hospital commodities any cheaper than I have done, and 1 shall not allow my integrity to tie questioned by the suggestion that I have been sftpshop, or careless In my business methods. Now, with reference to the "doctors not paying taxes,” as referred to by Mr. Pilcher. I have not the slightest idea which of them pay taxes, hut I( should like to know what member of council ever paid taxes equal to the value of the services given by our staff of physicians, who give their la bor and talents free for the relief of the city’s poor and afflicted ones In our hospital and dispensary In Attendance at All Hours. They are In attendance at all hours of the dev end night and never re ceive a cent of recompense, and often get hut the Ingratitude of an ungrate ful public who never can know of the work done by these faithful men for THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. God’s poor. No other city can boast a better group of physicians. Does the public ever realize that our medi cal hoard gives their service absolute ly free to the city? If we needed a horse, would Mr. Pilcher give it to us free? Certainly not. But our staff of physicians give their services free not only to the free ward patients, but also to over one-half of the pay ward cases, who are only able to pay $1 a day, which. I feel sure, everyone real izes is only part payment for hospital service; yet all of these patients get as good service from these physicians as do our very best private room pati ents. A glance at our low death rate will prove that no hospital in the country has a lower percentage of deaths. It does seem as if nnyone at all in terested in the hospital would realize the amount of money it has taken annually to keep the old building even habitable, much less a place fit for sick patients. What, with dilapidated plastering, old wornout electric wir ing, which is a constant menace to safety; plumbing so old It lias to he constantly repaired, and mir anti quated heating apparatus, as well a.s an elevator, for which the city some years ago charged us SI,OOO, and de ducted out of our appropriation, since which time it has to be constantly re paired, because it was not put In properly at first, although council took charge of putting it in. Add to this the increased cost of all commodities, and If it were not for the private de partment, (he freo wards could not have been kept running as long as they have on the old anpropriatlpn. Duties of Superintendent. I wonder if Mr. Pilcher has any idea of the duties and work done by the superintendent oMlie hospital in the last twelve years? Does he realize she teaches pupil nurses two hours daily; visits all patients daily; sends out drugs to all sections; makes up and collects al) hills due the hospital; checks up all invoices of monthly bills; makes all of the statistical re ports of patients; receives all pati ents. applicants for the school, drum mers and visitors making inquiries for patients, or paying bills, not counting the endless telephone calls; looks after the nursing and service as well as the lay help; many a night at 2 and 3 a. m. finding her in the hollerroom in vestigating troubles with she boilers? I think not. I think no man nor woman in Augusta has worked harder and against greater odds. While Mr. Pilcher may say he did not use my name in his remarks, still, as I have been in charge, T feel the brunt of hl3 remarks. It surely would have been more chivalrous of him to have waited until t was well and was back and able to defend my position. I have always seen that the rules find regulations were carried out, many limea on acchunt of this losing friends, and have given the institution twelve yearsvpf my best efforts. Respectfully yours, MARY A. MORAN, R.N., Superintendent City Hospital. MERCURY DROPPED TO 36 HERE LAST NIGHT Frost Appeared in Places Tues day Morning. Be Warmer Wednesday and Remain Fair.

The human body will stand a lot of abuse but sometime It will surely re bel and demand proper food In place of the nasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on jvhlcfl It has been mode alck.

A lady of Washington writes: "Three years ago I was very 111 with catarrh of the Htomuch and was given up to die by one doctor. I Is Id ip bed four months and my stomach was so weak that I could not keep down medi cine or hardly any kind of food ami was so weak and emaciated after four months of this starvation that my daughter could easily lift me from bed and put me In my chair. "But weak as my stomach was, It accepted, relished and digested Grape- Nuts without any difficulty the first time that wonderful food was tried. 'I uni now strong and in belter health than for a grout many years and am gradually growing still strong er. I rely on Grape-Nuts for much of the nourishment that I gut.. The results have certainly been wonder ful In my case und prove that no stomaeh Is so weak It will not digest Grape-Nuts. "My baby got fat from feeding on Grape-Nuts.

You hardly see any other kind of tobacco combustible stuck between the lips of the high, low, rich or poor, and isn’t it splen did for the poor man? Why he gets on the Hume level in pipedom as the fellow wild could buy and sell him tlirice over and forget about it. Yet if they smoke it’s ten to one it’s a cob. A coli costs only 6 cents and when well flavored can’t be beaten for a smoke. I met a man yesterday who always smoked a gold trimmed meer schaum. He was puffing away on a coli. So was I. We had a com munity of tastes, a common smoke, so to speak. "Hello,” said I. “Where’s the meer schaum? never expected to see you smoking a. cob.” "Everybody's doing It," he replied, and It’s because the cob produces a sweeter smoke; I laid .aside my $6.00 pipe nnd bought this boy; It smokes delightful, and It’s all the style; know what Mark Twain said about a cob pipe'.”’ No.” —’ “Ha said get you a cob pipe; then get you a nigger to smoke it for three days; then put In a new stem, and use It yourself; can’t bo beat for a smoke." I walked (lnwn the street and count ed the cobs. On the seven hundred block 1 mot twelwe pipe smokers, and all of them witli three exceptions held a cob betw-en his lips. You can color a cob like a meerschaum, but who cares to bother to do that when cobs are on tho market at 6 cents per pipe? If it gets too strong for the household or the office force throw it away and start on another. O. W. R.
