PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

Worms rob children of the life-giv-
ing properties of their food, retard
their growth and weaken their consti-
tutions for life. Most mothers know
the symptoms of worms. Children
are pale, restless and peevish, appe-
tite is tickle and sleep is disturbed.
Thousands of mothers have found

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.
by Colonel James p. Newcomb.

by Colonel James P. Newcomb.l
Our city council are all well-to-do
men-sOme of them are well off, if not
beyond the dreams of avarice"
Most of these gentlemen are tasting
for the first time, the pleasure of
public pOSitiOn-and some of them
have already felt the life of a new
born ambition moving in their breasts.
From alderman to mayor is but one
more round on the ladder, and once
mayor, the prOpsect widenS, until in
the dim distance the cupOlo of the
Capitol at Washington is unveiled to
the Imagination.
No wonder, with such things dancing
in their brains, they scorn the effort to
render financial relief to their late
turned out opponents.
Some men are born with silver
spoons in their mouths and some with
sticks of candy; to such the complaints
of the poor and oppressed is a weari-
ness of spirit.
Now, gentlemen of the city council.
the novelty of your political elevation
will soon wear off. You were warned
In advance by your present executive,
that to your care alone belonged the
entire provision for the city govern
ment. If unfit appointments are
made 1t is by your vote; if extrava-
gance is fostered, it is by your vote:
If there is failure to fulfill the anti
election promises, it is your fault.
The people are watching you; your
delay in providing relief to the men
you have displaced to make room for
your own favorites, is provoking Sc
we're criticism. Such thing has
never before happened in the history
of our city government.

THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Few Facts That Indicate the Great
Success of the Institution


Success of the Institution.
Athens, Ca, Oct. S.-The state normal
school just now presents unique appear
ance If the general assembly of Georgia
could just come on the scene and take a
peep into the dormitories, this school
would be voted one hundred thousand dol
lars at once.
The enrolment has reached $40 and of
that number $50 are now in actual attend
ance Three hundred and seven reside at
the dormitories. AS many as eight or ten
are crowded into one room, so badly is
dormitory room needed
President Bradwell yesterday settled his
bills for the quarter and the total expenses
of the teachers averaged seven dollars per
month.

twelve hams for one meal. Five pounds
of coffee disappear at a meal; forty
pounds of butter are used each day; two
bushels of peas are required for one din
ner. Yesterday morning $500 biscuits were
cooked for breakfast. 1t requires the con-
slant service OF twenty-five women in the
laundry department.
