Mrs. Emma Garrett Boyd, president of
the Atlanta (Ga.( branch OF the Southern
Association of College Women. has COM
piled some very interesting and valuable
statistics regarding illiteracy In Georgia.
which have been presented to the associa-
ton with a view of arousing the women
of the state to the necessity of educating
public opinion to the necessity of COM
pulsory education. The census of 1900
showed the total per cent of iIliterate
voters in Georgia to be SIS. The iiliteracy
of the native white voters OF native par
ents was not greatly In excess of the
average for the United States, being I2.1
per cent, but this vast excess was made
up largely by the illiteracy of the negro
voter, which was eb.4 per cent. The club
women will concentrate their energy this
year on an effort for a compulsory edu-
cation law to supplement the new chilo
labor law

There is very little settled talk Of other
candidates and Mrs. Keefe seems to be
generally popular. Chief among the mat
tiers that the convention will be called
upon to consider is an amendment to the
constitution providing that the state meet
ing be held biennially instead OF annually.
There is wide difference of opinion among
club women regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of
this change. Many feel that the biennial
meeting would tend TO decrease the interest
in state work, while others hold that BIZ
ennial meeting would make possible a much
better and more helpful program and that
the district meetings which are to be con-
tinued annually would keep the interest
from tagging.
AS some of the ablest women of the
state are arrayed on both sides II
is difficult to prophesy what the out
come will be. but regardless of the outcome
this particular bit of business will I'M
doubtedly receive more attention than any
thing else that is scheduled to come be-
fore the convention, with the possible ex-
| ception Of the election Of officers.

Aunt Mary-s "Quiet" Funeral.

A dear old New England spinster,
the embodiment of the timid and
shrinking, passed away at Carlsbad,
where she had gone for her health.
Her nearest kinsman, a nephew, or.
dered the body sent back to be buried
as was her last wish-in the quiet
little country churchyard. His sur
prise can be imagined, when, on open
ing the casket, he beheld, instead OF
the placid features Of his Aunt Mary
the majestic port of an English gen
eral in full regimentals, whom he re
membered had CHANGED to die at the
same time and place as his aunt. AT
once he cabled to the generals heirs
explaining the situation and requesting
instructions. They came back as
follows: give the general quiet fu
neral. Aunt Mary inferred to-day with

WHO PAID FOR THE DRINKs7
Endless Chain Operated by Thirsty
Men on the Mexican Border. ~

Nov, here Is the best yarn OF the
lot and a good puzzle for the Sunday
papers to print" said the man with
the alkali in his whiskers, when he
had settled down in the hotel lobby
after a long day on the rubberneck
wagon.
Several years ago American silver
coin in Mexico was on the same basis
as Mexican silver was at that time and
still is in the states; 1t passed at half
its face value. Drinks in Ell Paso and
in Juarez, the Mexican town across
the line, were a bit apiece or 12h
cents, as you fasteners would say.
an those palmy days a citizen OF
Ell Paso could go into drinking EN-.
porium and buy drink, paying for 1t
with an American quarter. The bar
tender would hand him back Next.
can quarter, which was, OF course,
worth 12R cents in Texas.
"Then with this Mexican quarter In
his hand the citizen could cross the
bridge to Juarez and there buy an
other drink, laying his Mexican quar-
ter on the bar.
"If the Greaser barkeep should give
him in change an American quarter
worth 1914 cents in Mexico the joyous
citizen could return to Uncle Sans
back yard and repeat the process.
"Now, the question is: Who paid
for those drinks?"-N. Y. Sun.

islands were watched by two wardens
whose wages were paid by the ma

and although they were not wholly
able to prevent trespassing and egg
stealing nevertheless the results at
tanned were wellnigh marvellous. On

A. KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds In
WeIsht and Became Well by Taking
DR.. Williams' Pink Pills.

Women at forty, or thereabouts, have
their future IN their own hands. There
will be change for the better or worse,
for the better If the system is purified by
such tonic as DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
Mrs. d. O. Wedding, of Hartford, KY,
writes as follows concerning the diff
culties which afflicted her:
al was seriously i'll and was confined
to my bed for six or eight mouths in all,
during two years. had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and had dizziness
or swimming in my head and nervous
troubles.
'Iwas under the treatment Of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me any good. After suffering for
two years learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and decided that would
try them. The very first box I took
made mo feel better and when had
taken four boxes more was entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued in tho best Of
health. have recommended DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills to many people on ac-
count Of what they did for me, and 1 feel
that cannot praise them too strongly"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs.
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
in full vigor every function of the body
Is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every muscle, every nerve,
the necessary nourishment. Any woman
who is interested in the cure of Mrs. We'd
ding will want our book, "Plain Talks to
Women" which is free OH request.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, or they will be sent by mail post
paid, OH receipt of price, 80 cents per box,
six boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams

RIGHT HOME.
Doctor Recommends Postum from
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize the
Injurious action of caffeine-the drug
in coffee-on the heart, than the doc
tor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by 1t. He says:
II wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. l have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over 10
years, and part Of the time was unable
to attend to my business.
Il was a moderate user Of coffee and
did not think drinking 1t hurt me. But
on stopping 1t and using Postum In
stead, my heart has got all right, and
I ascribe 1t to the change from coffee
to Postum.
Il am prescribing 1t now In cases of
sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or Affects the heart. nerves
or stomach.
when made right 1t has much
better flavor than coffee, and Is vital
sustainer of the system. ! shall con-

Hindu Moon Lore.

The full eclipse of the moon was OBJ
served in Singapore on the night OF
August 4. According to the Hindus
this eclipse is the contact between
the moon and another planet called
Rahoo, but the masses believe that
owing to the will of God, Rahoo, or the
serpentlike planet, catches hold of the
moon by its hideous mouth and re
leases after short time.
At the first contact the Hindus
battle principally in the sea and anxi-
ously await the release. After the
contact they take another bath. Dur
ing the interval they are not allowed
even to drink cup of water, as their
belief is that all things In the world
get polluted during the contact.-Sing

tablishment of the neighborhood, Is

sensus of opinion. A framed photo
graph of some portrait masterpiece
would make a good choice.

The harvest home idea is splendid
one for an evening indoors, and can be
made extremely picturesque as well
as amusing.
