IT'S DANGEROUS.
Practice of Rubber. .Necklng' Causes
Accidents To Men aud Women.

Five women Il day, according to
the police reports, are hurt in the
shopping district by street cars or
other vehicles running into them.
Some Of the cases arc serious, and de-

The great majority Of these accidents,
crossing policemen declare, are due
to what is vulgarly called rubber
necking," says the Chicago Times.
"Nine women out Of ten who are
hurt by the street cars or vehicles
drawn by horses have only themselves
to blame,' said an officer who for
several years had guarded State
street crossing. 81 have seen dozens

retail district, and l never saw one
who met with an accident who was

woman will start to cross the street
with an armful of bundles. Half
way over, in the middle of the car
tracks, she turns around to look at
woman who has passed her from the
opposite direction. Perhaps it WAS

Get Children
Started Right

Measles, scarlet fever, mumps
and whooping cough are umivcr-
sally prevalent.
With all these, the disease itself
Is often trivial, but the after effects
are very serious.
Close observers say that one
half the people suffer from eve
trouble (result of mcaslcs), or
bronchial, car, or kidney trouble
(result of other diseases of child
hood).
Now a child in robust health
will throw off these diseases. A
weak ailing child will probably
suffer all its life.
We have just the medicine for
puny, ailing children. 1t is Vinol.
1t is pleasant to take, it is free
from dangerous drugs, it is nour-
lshlng and gently tonic, it helps the
TODD to digest and gives strength.
1t has been used in this town
with great success when children
were slow in getting over whoop-
ing cough and measles.
1t seems to give them a start,
and they become bright and
healthy. Used with Vinlax, the
bowel regulator, it is safe and sure,
both for ailing children and bul-
dened mothers. Take home a
bottle on our guarantee of money
back If it's not good. Don't let
your little ones remain weak and
ailing.

Daughters of American independence,
writes:
Last summer caught a severe cold
which settled on my lungs and 1 almost
lost my voice and 1 felt most misera-

Colds are considered one of the nee
essary ills of life. One is liable to
catch cold both summer and winter.
Very often summer colds prove fatal.
They are always dangerous.
A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
1t may cause catarrh of any of the in
ternal organs-the head, throat, lungs,
and stomach. or pelvic organs. A
remedy that will cure a cold then
would cure all these direct effects of
colds. Peruna is such a remedy. We
have letters from all over the United

Light upon the age of human laws
is furnished by a slab of black stone
unearthed at Persepolis last year by

for the French government. The mon
ument contains a picture of KSS

the seated sun-god Samas.

The husband could leave his proper

to such of her children as she chose,
but not to her brothers. Moreover, a
father could leave a marriage portion

representatives. in the debate.
The opening argument was made by
Mr. Golucke, who pointed out the gen.
eral advantages accruing to a govern
ment that had control of the natural
mOnopolies. The theoretical side of The
question was presented strongly by this
speaker, and the features of political
economy applicable to the question
were explained fully and clearly. The
argument was a finished one, and con-
veyed to the minds of the judges
thorough comprehension of the argu
ment favorable to government owner
ship and control.
Mr.. Hopkins opened for the Demos
thenians and held up the frauds that
would be perpetrated in the government
management Of the monOpOlies under
discussion. He gave instances where
this plan had been tried and had failed.
He declared il to be antagonistic to the
fundamental ideas of the American
government
Mr.. Moran closed the debate for the
Phi Kappas with an argument of splen-
did strength and completeness He took
up the practical side of the question
and dealt largely in facts and figures
from the government ownership and
control of natural monopOies. He an
swered several of the arguments used
by the other side.
Mr.. Blackshear, in closing for the De-
mosthenians, maintained, among other
things, that the government ownership
and control of natural monopolies had
d tendency to decrease the effective
ness of individual effort and to render
the Individual of less use to the coun-
try He urged the point that it was
of a socialistic tendency and not in
keeping with the traditions or princi-
pies of a republican form of govern
ment'
The judgment of the committee was
that the Demosthenian orators won.
Tomorrow morning at the University
Chapel, will be preached the baccalau-
reate sermon by Rev. w. w. Landrum,
pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Atlanta.

THE DOCTORS SAMPLE
How His wife Used 1t.

The wife of a physician of Causey,
N. c., had an experience that shows
how valuable thing it is to have some
one handy who knows the way out of
coffee ills. Her husband, the physi-
clan, knew that the way to satisfy the
craving for coffee and cure the coffee
troubles, both at the same time, was
to prescribe Postum Cereal Food Coffee.

him. Crowds always provoked Peter,
and at this time he went into fit, as
he often did at times of high nervous
tension. The sight of the young man
writhing on the floor drove off the Gu
rious throng in a panic, but it did not
discompose his own attendants.
In London the Gar encountered such
crowds that on one occasion when a
porter carrying a bod pushed him clear
off the sidewalk he Immediately pulled
up his sleeves for a fight The Mar
quis of Carmarthen was with him, and
the English lord exclaimed:
Look here, you hind! Do you know
whom you have insulted? This man
here is the Car of Russia"
But the porter did not recoil. In
stead he threw out his chest and re-
marked, blandly:
Gear, heb? Well, we're all czars
'ere!"
On returning from England, Peter
was struck with the absurdity of the
ancient costumes of his countrymen
which they had inherited from their
former masters, the Tartars. Accord
ingly he began a crusade against the
great long coats and baggy trousers,
which he said prevented the Russians
from keeping up with their western
neighbors. His ministers and courtiers
was not only revolutionary, they said
but would destroy the nation utterly
The Russians must have their coat
tails dragging on the ground or they
would perish.
You will cut off your coattails or I'll
cut off your head" shouted Peter in
a passion. The courtiers finally decided
that their heads were of more conse-
quence and sullenly obeyed. The coat
tails came off. Then the royal re-
former ordered the boards off. This
was heaping injury on insult.
What was more beautiful than a
beard reaching to the waist and COW
ering the chest like a shawl?" asked
the noble boyars. An instruction was
imminent. So Peter changed his tao
tics slightly, but at the same time
executed a neat business coup by tax
ing every long beard on a noble 500,
and that of the peasantry a certain
small sum every time they passed the
city gates. At first the revenue was
a handsome one, but slowly the boards
came off.
Fools" said Peter as the tax dwin-
died away. They had rather have
their boards pulled out hair by hair
than shave them off all at once" Fin
ally there were only two long boards
left at the court, and Peter caught
these transgressors one day and
shaved them himself before a court
filled with guests and ambassadors.
