SECRET OF CHARM.

conscious of Self.

Cultivate the Ability to Appear Un-
conscious of Self.
One must be unconscious Of self in
order to be considered charming. Fol-
lowing the Golden Rule entities a wo.
man TO be called charming. She must
be good or she cannot he charming. not
on a long acquaintance-thst is. where
there is a lack of sincerity It is easily
discovered. perhaps not in the course
OF a fe'5 visits. hut later on.
There is a difference in the true and
false ring of a coin. Think not to de-
ceive. Il is impossible. All exert an
Influence for good or evil upon those
they come in contact with. Why not
let 1t be the former? 1t is much the
happier way. A pleasant impression
never works harm to any one and
fingers in the mind as long as the men,
DRY of the person lasts, says Womans
Life.
A charming woman takes a broad
view Of life. She cannot he narrow.
She wounds rot her friends with I'M
kind words. II she chides. it is with
a gentle manner.
To deserve to he called a charming
woman, one must he charming TO wo-
men as we'll rs to mon. otherwise the
charm would he very one sided thing

Is there a woman SO unfortunate as
not to be charming to some one?

NERVOUS BABIES.
The Exact Cause.

Many a child while nursing, has az
qTired an appetite for strong drink
because the mother used beverages
containing alcohol. A letter from al
Elg!n, ILL.,, mother illustrates the ne
cesA ty of great care as to the
mothers food and drink while size is
nursing her child:
What / have to say should be Of
interest to mothers who are so for
tunate as to be able TO nurse their
babies" she writes. Until my first
LADY came did not realize that coffee
was the cause of the severe attacks OF
nervousness to which | was subject
at times. | found that when one of
these attacks came upon me, baby was
affected in the same way, at about the
same time. ana reflection led me TO
conclude that it was the coffee drank
that was making us both Ill.
Having read an article about Pos
tum Food Coffee. | decided TO give it
trial, and when 1 had learned 10
prepare it properly by boiling it ut
least 20 minutes. / found that with
cream, it was a delicious drink. And
it proved most beneficial TO the health
OF both of us.
However. when | gave up the Old
coffee. | thought there would be no
harm in having one cup of the ola
kind on Sunday mornings for old
times sake Two Sundays showed
ME the folly of this. | was amazed
al the influence the coffee had on my
own and baby's nerves 1t made me
restless and unstrung till its effect had
time TO wear off, and about the time
I began to feel easier it began to
affect baby through the milk so thai
il spoiled our entire day. When l
found this to be the case | gave up
the Sunday morning coffee indulgence.
Ana that ended the nervous at
tacks for both of us. This was five
years ago. and l have used Postum
regularly ever since. and enjoy it as
much as l ever did the other kind Of
coffee.
Il believe that the fFetfuI condition
o. many babies is caused by the
ccffee-drinking habit of the mother
1T is hard 10 denv children the
drink they see their parents enjoying
al table, and it is a great comfort to
be able to let them have all the Pos
tum they want. Served with cream
il has proved an ideal beverage for
my little ones.
Il foUna also that Postum is great
producer of healthy milk. and am sure
that many worried mother would be
benefited by its use cannot com
mend it too highly" Name given b.

PUSHING LINE
TOWARD GULF
ATLANTA. DoTHAN AND GULF IS
EXPECTED TO REACH COT
ToNDALE BY APRIL 1.

The Graceville Messenger says:
The Atlanta, Dothan & Gulf Railroad
is pushing their work beyond Cotton
dale and grading is being done be-
tween COttOndale and Compass Pond,
Dust as fast as the graders finish Up
their sections east of Cottondale they
will be thrown on the y mile section
below; reaching to theFDona. Grading
will soon be. finished no the L. & n.
where everything will be transferred
below. The track is following on as
fast as the grading is finished and is
expected to reach CottOndale by April
list. The continued rains this winter
have materially effected the progress
of the work.
Anyway, it is morally certain that
DOthanites will do their fishing 5his
summer in Compass Pond.
Our annual Sunday school picnic
can be had probably on Spring Creek,
Or at Campbellton this year if the rail
road company can get their passenger
cars here by that time and We have
no fears but they will be able to do
Their part.
This railroad is destined to work
wonders for DOthan and We will soon
begin to feel the effects of it.

Owing to the increase in the work
of the pastor. it was decided that he
should have an assistant and some

AUDIENCE WAS
A LARGE
ONE
Which Listened to Rev. SpiegaI
Sunday and Last
Night.

Evangelist Spiegal of the Christian
c1urch, vas greeted by the largest
congregation Sunday morning yet seen.
during tn meetings and at night
every seat in the tabernacle was talk
en-. Several stood during the entire
service and many were turned AVA
for lack OF standing room. AT the
close Of Sunday nights service an i'm
pressive Gapusmal scene was wines =
Ell. Many were the expressions Of
approval of his discourse Of the Nil
lennium." One aged man said, i
have lived more than sixty years 10
near that"
Last night Speaker SpiegeI had for
his subject. What is The sin again 81
the Holy Ghost. or the objectionable
SIM" Il was listened to with grea;
attention. The speaker enlarged upon
the Holy Spirits work. He raised
the question. ITO whom does the Holy
Spirit Gomez"
Said h As a cOnyictor of sin he
comes 20 the sinful worldlings. As
a comforter, he comes 20 the obadient.
baptized believer in Jesus as the
Christ.
Another question was raised, What
does The Holy Spirit do?" Said the
preacher, He cOnvicts the world of
sin, of righteousness and of judgment
10 cDme; he helps the saints of Col,
dwelling H. them, h is their everlast-
ing comforter.
The third question raised was, How
does the Holy Spirit operator" The
evangelist said. He bears witness or
testifes; he testIfies by speaking
through his words The Holy Bible
is the deposition of tae Holy Spirit
and is just as true and reliable As
would be His spoken words He pleads
with sinners through the Gospel and
hence the Gospel is said 10 bee the
power Of God unto salvation to all
who believe it. and that is the reason
Jesus commanded his apostles and
the church TO preach the gospel and
that is the reason again why We send
out evangeliSts and missionaries %
preach The Gospel.
But what is the special sin against
the Holy Spirit? There are various
theories. hut think for a moment Of
this solution 10 this pulling question:
God dealt anciently with his people
direct, but as a people, as world,
Gods leadership was rejected. But
the world had a second chance. Jesus
the Christ was TO come to save men
from their sins. When he did come
the world rejected him also. But the
world was yet to have a third chance,
the Holy Spirit was TO come and guide
them into all truth and teach afTesh
the wav Of salvation. And now says
Jesus. Won rejected the Father. Won
have rejected the Son. il Therefore
YOU reject the Holy Spirit your dam
nation IS sure and eternal, having re-
jscted the three persons of the God
head and there will ba no further
chance for salvation. In other words
a persis, ant repect.On of the way of
salvation taught by the Holy Spirit
in the Word of God till one sins away
his day Of grace and mercy, he has
completed the sin against the Holy
Spirit and there is no forgiveness for
him here or hereafter. Now is the day
of mercy. row the Saviour calls, Coils
mercy fingers. the Holy Spirit stands
at the door and knocks. Come, oh.
coma, now
His subject for tonight. "Is there
anv room for Jesus in Pensacola p
