HOW’S THIS?
To the Herald:
Permit me to submit the following
with due apologies:
Sing a song of near-beer,
City full of Rye,
Four and twenty citizens’
Fingers in the pie,—
Entered resolutions
To make the license low, —
Now wasn't that a. dainty dish
To come from Cotton Row.
Council in the Counting House,
Counting up the money,
Couldn’t see expenditures
Taxing milk and honey;
So when it came to voting,
They left the license high,
But stoutly and devoutly said:
‘“Augusta SHALL be Dry!”
LET THE POT BOIL.

placed there in charge of one of his
army, stops to think what it means
and to what use every penny that is
placed in the pot is put. It means
some good cheer to those unfortunates
in need. It means that many needy
and hungry ones, old grandpa and
grandma, mother and father, children
from little tots up, both boys and girls,
will be given something to eat on
Christmas time. Little toys to make
the little ones happy. Warm things to
put on the cold and shivering ones, old
and young. To fill the many baskets
that the army gives out on Christmas
eve day. Baskets that bring happy
tears to the old eyes, when they think
that God has put it in the hearts of
those that have, to give even a little
to help make the poor and needy hap
py and not to go hungry on Christmas,
that sweet and holy day.
Now, boys and girls, ydung and old,
won't you join in making the Pot Boil.
Let's make it boll over, we can do it.
Each one cut out one of those "dopes,”
“chocolate milks,” and you older boys
Just one of those "Belles,” etc., each
day as long as the “Pot” is boiling, and
put the price in the Pot and watch it
bubble and sparkle as you think of
some needy one having a loaf of bread
or a bite of meat. Think what it means
to them to know that for one day they
will be able to go to their little bed, be
it almost bare of warm clothes.
You girls of the Tubman, your bright
and happy faces pass by each day.
You Academy boys also pass.
You little tots of the Central.
You young and old that have the
“movie” habit. You staid man of bus
A. SILVER
iness, baker, merchant and all, won't
you join in and make the “Pot” boil
as never before. (
I am just a hard working man, one
that each day's work means much, but
I try to visit that Pot each day and
drop in my mite, as I know, from my
own knowledge of what that Pot means
to many hundreds in this city of ours.
There is not a day I do not see some
one in need, plenty of them too re
tired in their need to ask help hut who
are actually in want. Little boys and
girls shoeless and knowing want of a
good meal. I am glad to say I am a
personal friend of Adjutant Yates and
his family and know of their noble
work. I know how they search out the
needy, and with kind and loving word,
help those destitute ones that charity
never fails. Every penny put in that
Pot means much. So do not pass it by.
Fill it up with pennies, nickels, dimes,
from the kiddles and you older ones —
those that can. you just drop them in
by the handfull. You can do It, So come
across every one and we will make
hundreds of hearts happy. If you want
to see happiness in those who have so
little to give it to them visit the army
hall on Christmas eve day, their
Christmas tree, or any time, and you
will sure he awarded by happiness in
knowing you, with your mite, helped
make the “Pot Boil."

THE IDEAL GIRL.
To The Herald.
In Saturday’s issue of The Herald
“Sincerely” asks for someone to say
which of the girls described by him
would be the best “catch" for the good,
sensible business man. From my point
of view I don’t believe either would
do. Business men learn from their
every-day life not to go in for ex
tremes. That is apparent'y what “Sin
cerely” has done. Just made one girl
the opposite of the other. Why not
the girl like this?—
One who dresses modestly but up
to the moment, with the latest styles;
will sip wine when the occasion de
mands and enjoys the more refined
dances. One who does use cosmetics
if they will improve her looks any.
1 don't mean by the last sentence that
1 would like her to use all the latest
"aids to beauty." Just a little powder,
with like aids. Let her before she Is
married carry on the great game of
flirting; that is merely a pastime with
die feminine sex. Didn't Cleopatra
flirt with Marc Antony? But she must
curb herself and never flirt with the
men whom sh# passes on the boule
vard. And last of all one who can
take care of herself, to be relied on,
who can fight her own battles if need
be. But still makes her mother her
confidant.
And jus* a little advice to the girls
who go into business life with the
sworn intentions ol’ showing us men
how much more intelligent (hey are
than we. Don't do it, girts. You blast
your matrimonial opportunities right
there. Men generally like to be relied
on, to be looked up to. So get wise.

Do You Wash This Way?
————————»>•*— gnanawr ar.»—rn 'www'awiniimiMi ■iiniiaa r. moiaua jm .uamanos
If you do your whole family dreads wash day, with its
steam and smells.
Even though you have a laundry room in your basement,
home washing is an expense and anything but a comfort in
wintry weather. With snow and rain at hand you will go
through the same hardships you did last winter in an endeav
or to dry the clothes.
Why not send us the whole family wash and let us de
monstrate to you that the time, soap, gas or coal we save you
and the way we wash the clothes has it all over doing the
work at home.
We Charge But 6 Cents Per Pound
(Weighed Dry.)
It is really cheaper than the old way, and your clothes
last twice as long.
