GROSS, Propretor. “”# finte:o . at the Post Office at Alamo, Georgia, as second class usil matter, May 16th, 1913, under «* of March 3rd, 1879. -—“m——_-'-——-———'—' Who Said It First? “Verify your quotations” is the advice of someone, but the advice is sometimes difficult to follow. In the case of many fam ous sayings it is hard to find out who really said them first. There are many instances of striking phrases which have been attri buted to prominent persons who bad really borrowed them from others. For example, Lincoln’s refer ence to a ''‘government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” Almost identical words were used by John Wyecliffe in tue 14th ceantury, and by Robespierre, Thomas Cooper, Joesph Story, Daniel Webster and Theodore Parker long before Lincoln uttered them at Gettys burg. liven the Golden Rule, which appears in two forms in the New Testament, was expressed by Confucius five centuries before Christ, and by other ancient teachers. Perbaps the most calchy phrase ever uttered by the late William Jennings Bryan contain ed his '‘crown of thorns and cross of gold” metaphor, which is eredited with securing his nomination for the presidency in 1896 1t has been and still is gen really believed that the phrase was original with Bryn, but the Congressional Rezord shows that it was spoken by Congressman Samuel W. McCall in a speech suveral months before. Noone whose words have been appropriated by another could have shown a better spirit towards his imitator than McCall showed toward Bryan in this in stance. When questioned about it later, McCall said: “Yes Bryan borrowed it from one of my congressional speeches and probably I stole it from som body else.” Edgar Hogge, B. 5. Pigg and I. H. Roach appeared in the mu nicipal court on the same day for violating traflic laws in Van Nuy, Cal. A telephone operator’s error cost a Dallas woman a batch of home brew and a $25 fine, At tempting to calla hard ware store to order bottle caps, the lady was given the police station instead— so she got cops instead of caps. Rav. Patton of Hull, England, declares that “‘crimesand misde meanors are incited and accelert ed by the dress that women wear.” We think the reverend gentleman's alarm and indignat ion come rather late, It is doubt ful that women's dress or lack of iv excites anyone very much in this day and time.

Decath Raie Now Lowest 5 - Toxoid A statement racently released by our State Board of Health says: The State Board of Health is now prepared to furnish diphtherie toxoid at a cost to the people of two cents & dose or four cents for each immuniza tlon which requires two doses. The previous cost was five cents per dose or 16 cents for cach immunization. The reduced prices which were made possible by a donation of $1,600.00 from the Bankers Health and Life In gurance Company of Macon will prob ably be available only for the year 1931, In spite of the modern methods of treating diphtheria, the incidence of this disease has not greatly decreased except in local communities where vaccination has been practiced, It is true, of course, that the death rate has been lowered during the past 26 years from about 60 per cent to less than 10 per cent by means of anti-~ toxin. But this marveious remedy is chiefly of value as a curative and not as a preventive, Therefore, diph-~ theria still remains as one of the most dangerous diseases of early childhood. Several years ago there was digcov ered a vaccine called toxin-antitoxin, which, when given to young chil dren in three doses, onn week apart, immunized them against diph theria. This proved so successful that it was soon being used all over the United States. In Georgia alone geveral hundred thousand children have received toxin-antitoxin and in those counties and towns where the majority of the children have been thus immunized diphtheria is a rare disease, But toxin-antitoxin i 8 by no means perfect. One of its short-com ings is that three doses sometimes fail to produce adequate immunity. How~ ever, o new vaccine hag been perfected known as toxold which has many ad vantages over toxin-antitoxin. Tox old has been given a thorough trial by numbers of QGeorgla physiclans working in conjunction with the State Board of Health. It has been found that two doses of toxold will afford almost perfect immunity, Diphtheria is chiefly a disease of young childhood, ranging from baby hood to school age. Ninety per cent of the diphtheria deaths are among children below high school age and sixty per cont are among those of pre-school age. It should be remem bered also that diphtheria is a late gummer and fall disease and is least commop during the spring. Both tox old and toxin-antitoxin require two or three months to produce complete im munity. ‘Now is the best time, there fore, to vaccinate children against diphtheria. The State Board of Health advises thet all little children under six years of age be given toxold at once. Kvery baby as old as six months should have it. Parents are urged to see their family doctors about this as soon as possible. BREWERS’ YEAST The demand that has beengmade on our State Board of Health for the vi tamin bearing food, dried brewers’ geast, is surprising. It is promarily intended for the alleviation of Pel lagra, but it is being used by the peo ple for othor discazes is the opinion of our health authorities, as the de mand is steadily increasing. More than fifty tons have been distributed within the past filteen months. The death rate from pellagra has steadily fallen, It i 3 estimated that more than 300 livos were saved last year from this disease, and it must have been due to the educational matter distrib uted as well as the yeast. The yeast {8 supplied in five-pound packages at $1.65 per package, bringing it within the reach of every one. Infant Death Rate Wanes in Georgia “WASHINGTON.—Georgia last year had a considerably lower infant mor tality rate thar the year previous. According to a table made public today by the vital statisties section of the department of commerce, the in fant death rate in the state in 1929 wag only 76 for every 1,000 live births, compared with a mte of 82 for the year 1928, The department listed Georgia as one of 11 states in the Union which had lower rates last year over the year before, The average rate for the country was 68, This is an Interesting news item, end is, in a measure, gratifying, but it is not enough to save 411 babes; we can save many times this num ber if we but try, when every living soul in Georgia sets his or her mind to the job of life saving. Can't you save a lfe, dear reader, during the next year? The responsibility is every body’s. Our State Eoard of Health can take money and transpose it into sav ing lives. Money can, with limitations, of course, save lives. It pays to buy health. If appropriations were liberal enough, we could save a thousand ba bies’ lves in 1931 instead of 411, a: we did in 1929, sel B e . Keep your microbes to yoursell, de net spray them on other people. WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GEOURGIA. MOMAIR ONCE SOLE RIOHT OF KINGS NOW EVERY AMERICAN'S PRIVILEGE OF KINGS, PRINCES King Solomon’s Temple Was Hung With Veils Made from Hair of Goats. [MAGINH your surprise if you walked into a shop toduy and asked for a purple dress, hat or tie and were told that it was a color exclusively re gerved for the President and his Cab inet! Or wanted to purchase u chalr and found that only members in the society Blue Book were entitled to such luxuries, That would have been the case years back, when purple was a color for kings only, and only the nobility were saccorded the privilege of chalrs. In the game wuy, mohair, a material made from the fleece of the angora goat, was once the privilege of royalty and quite unknown to the commoner. Back in 1031 B, C, King Solomon made uge of this luxurious materlal “for his royal rcbes and ordered the veils of the famous Temple to be hung “with cloth from the halr of the goat.” And for centuries to come, mohair was used only in the palaces of the rich and mighty, for draperies, hangings and fine upholsterfes. Today In 1931, A. D, mohalr velvet or velmo s no leas cherished but within the reach of What'll We Eat Tonight? Here Are Seven Answers By JOSEPHINE B. GIBSON Direotor, Home Economics Dept., H. J. Heinz Company THE lament “I am entirely out of ideas, and feel as though I never could plan another menu” is 8 common one among housewives. Making out the menu often seems more difficult than the actual prepa- ration of the food. It is no wonder, however, when we stop to realize the number of meals that must be prepared day after day—often for a family that has many likes and dislikes in food to be considered. In order to help you with this perplexing problem *“what ghall I have for dinner tonight?” these dinner menus for one week have been carefully worked out. Rach dinner is well-halanced, moderate in cost, and planned to include the fruits and vegetables now in the market: MONDAY Bausages Iwith Oven DBaked Red Kidney Beans Browned Potatoes Apple Sauce Cole Slaw Chilled Fruit Cup Cooktes Coffee TUESDAY Chili Con Carne Baked Potatoes Fresh Cucumber Relish Molded Supper Salud Apple Butter Ice Bor Cake Coffee WEDNESDAY Cream of Tomaio Soup Crackers Cold Sliced Ham Potalto and Pea Salad Sweet Mustard Pickles IHot Rolls Baked Apples Stuffed wilh Pure Aince Megt THURSDAY Crecle Pork Creamed Corn Gralicsz Bread Grepe Jeily Apple, Nut and Celery Saled Fig Pudding with Sauce Cofice every private citizen. The business man commutes to his office in a rail way coach whose seats are uphol stered in the famillar red or green mohair velvet. At night, he throws himself into an easy chair or daven port finished with his lustrous pile fabric. He takes his family driving in a car lined in the same material and throws a lap-rug of luxurious mohair velvet over thelr knees, taking his right to the best as a matter of course, in true American fashion. The mohair of long ugo, however, prized as it was by kings and poten tates, was not the rich, pile fabric that is available today. Bcience has perfected the means of taking out most of the kemp from the fleece and weaving the silky halr into a fahric whose luster and beauty vie with its durability and eomfort. Because of the upique physicai structure of the fudividual fibers, mohuir takes a pee fect, nen-fading dye. As mohair 18 woven: .on & cotton warp which takes a different shade of dye and must be dyed separately, most effective two tone color combinations nre obtalned. Mohair velvet Is also nade in a va riety of hand-blocked patterns, with a cut-pile or in an Interesting loop and-pile weave that makes for endless variety of patterns and effects. While the chief application of mohalr {8 for furniture, automobile and ratls way coach upholstery, it 1s also used for clothing, draperies, thesatre cur tailns, miniature golf courses, stuffed animals, trlmmings and a variety of other uses.
