Tissue Income and Expenditure Musf
he Made to Balance.
The day must come at some future
period of sociological development
when the instinct of self preservation
will overrule the pernicious habits and
customs of the present day fashions
and necessity. Men viii come to learn
that tissue income and expenditure
must be adjusted to better balance If
the human machine is to be kept in
smoothly working order; that excess Of
either is a physiological sin which ma
ture will surely avenge either on the
individual or on his descendants; that
sustained work of the best quality can
only be performed when effort is kept
well within the margin of accomplish
ment; that luxurious idleness and arti-
fetal excitement, when carried beyond
the limits of healthy counterpoise to
the daily routine of active duty, bring
about their neurasthenic nemesis as
surely as overstrenuous endeavor, and
that the coming generation can be fit
ted to battle with the increasing COM
plexities of life only if endowed with
bodies that are structuraIly perfect
and with nervous centers capable of
producing throughout an average dura-
ton of life sufficient energy to enable
the machine to perfGm satisfactorily
the work whereto it has been set.
A more vigorous public sentiment,
fostered by an example Of greater self
denial and more rigid adherence to
simplicity Of life on the part of those
who set the pace and lead the fashions
of the day, would do much to arrest
the downhill rush of the multitude;
pronounced social disapproval Of the
immoderate use of alcohol and tobacco
and the stern forbidding OF both under
the age of puberty would shield the
nervous centers from two of their most
deadly enemies. and, though it might
at first CRATE against popular feeling,
the introduction by the legislature Of
an enactment whereby some form Of
compulsory military service was ex-
acted from every healthy young man
would materially contribute to the
preservation of active minds in vigor
GUS bodies to those who are destined
to make or mar the future history Of
their fatherland. Guthrie Rankin, M.
D., in Detroit News Tribune.

DEATH OF MIR. A. II. MCoLLUM
WeII-KnOwn Citizen Passes Away
After Long Illness.

Mr.. A. r. McCollum, one Of Daw-
sons best known and most highly re-
spected citizens, passed away Monday
afternoon at4 O'Clock after months of
suffering. More than a year ago he
sustained a stroke of apoplexy. and
for the past several months was cOntin-
ed to his home, growing gradually
worse until death released him from
his earthly ills.
Mr.. McCollum was the well-knOwn
photOgrap ner, and had been engaged
in business in Dawson since 1889,
when he came to this city from Mica
nopy, Fla. He served through the
civil war, was member of the Meth
odist church, man of quiet and I'M
obtrusive disposition and strict integ-
rity, and possessed the esteem and
confidence of all who knew him. He
was 81 years of age, and is survived
by wife and four children, all but
one of whom are grown.
The intermeut occurred IN Cedar
Hill cemetery Tuesday afternoon at
3 O'Clock after funeral services at the
home. Rev. O. B. Chester performing

Was CharmIngIy Entertained Re
cent Afternoon by Mrs. j. Nj. Bell.
Wednesday afternoon, from three
to five O'Clock, Mrs. j. M. Bell re-
ceived in honor of the Young Matrons
Club. The house was lovely IN its
decorations of red, Xmas bells carry
ing out the color motif.
An amusing contest was employed
in the entertainment, that OF lifting
POTATOES into baskets with the aid of
tiny spoons. After this the game
''peanuts" was played, one of the
largest peanuts being marked with the
sign of the "ku-kluX," which was a
unique idea of the young hostess.
Mrs. w. H. Harris, as most success
ful contestant, was award the prize,
a lovely basket. Miniature baskets
were used in keeping score. Another
feature. as full of fun as it was unique
in connection, was the use Of the menu
cards, written as they were rlddllngly.
Some of the quests found themselves
devouring most enthusiastically de-
Ecious viands, while others less fort
innate sat nursing their unsatlshed
paIates, having received onions,
hidden tears" tootpicks, chips OFT
the old block" and water, "a product
of spring" This difficulty, however,
was soon removed, when each guest
was served with an elegant sweet
course. The change from onions IN
quaint old china to that OF cream IN
exquisite cut glass dishes was indeed
a most welcome one.

Mr.. WILSON'S MODEL FARM
Government Expert Will Direct 0p-

The following from the Albany Her
aid will be read with interest by read
ers of The News, as Mr.. Wilson was
for number OF years a resident of
Dawson, and is well-known here:
SIT may not be generally known,
but it is nevertheless a fact, that the
farm of Mr.. B. NJ. Wilson, a mile
west of the city. limits of Albany, has
been designated by the United States
government as a model Investigation
farm. These model diverslfication
farms are operated under the direc-
ton of the department of agriculture
for the benefit and information of the
farmers, and a complete record is
made of the planting aud cultivation
of the different crops experimental
with
Mr.. Wilson recently brought his
spendid herd of Jersey cattle and
other fine stock from Dawson, and has
established the Farmland Dairy Farm
here.
besides the experiments made WIN
the dairy business various crops will
be planted on the farm under the di-
rection of experts from the depart
ment of agriculture. The seeds Will
be furnished by the government, and
the planting and cultivation directed
by the government experts.
"Mr. Fl. Benton, from the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington, is
here now to see to planting operations
for this spring on Farmland Farm.
"Mr. Wilson has already spent
thousands of dollars on his farm, and
it was demonstrated at the last state
fair that he had the finest herd OF
Jerseys in the state. He takes great
pride in his farm, and the govern
ment has made no mistake in select
ing it for model diversified
tiOn farm, for he will spare neither la
Dor nor expense in making it model

having an artesian well bored, and

DAWSON is YET IN DARKNESS
Two Weeks Without Lights, and
There'lI Yet Be Several Days
Before Relief Comes.

Dawson is still in darkness, due to
the accident at the electric light plant
two weeks ago, and it will be several
days yet, perhaps, before the situa-
ton is relieved.
The damaged pieces of machinery,
which were shipped to Macon on the
18th inst. for repairs, for some cause
did not reach that city until the oath,
being in transit nine days.
A letter was received from the toun-
dry Monday morning stating that the
repairs would be made at once, and
the machinery promptly returned to
Dawson. 1t will probably reach here
in the next two or three days, when
the city will again merge from dark
ness to light and lamps will be put
away until they are needed again.
The accident, so officials say, will
cost the city several hundred dollars.

''To all who are candidates desire
