FROM BUSINESS TRIP
Proposed New Company in Excellent
Condition.

Mr.. w. A. Dodson returned yester-
day from a business trip to Phi1adel-
phia and New York, where he went
week ago to confer with gentlemen as
ISOLATED with him in the electric railway
and lighting enterprise here. Mr.. bod
sons associates were well pleased with
the prospect presented, and all the cap
ital required for building the electric
plant and electric street railway will
be forthcoming as soon as the action of
the city council of Americas is ratified
by the voters at the forthcoming cleo
ton. When organization is thus effec-
ted, ground will be broken for the new
electric plant buildings out Jackson
street, and the line of the electric street
railway determined upon. The outlook
is bright indeed, and Americas will
soon possess these needed utilities.

The Grip.

Before we can sympathize with
others, we must have suffered our
selves" No one can realize the suf-
tering attendant upon an attack of the
grip, unless he has had the actual ex-
perience. There is proba bly, no disease
that causes SO much physical and men
tai agony, or which so successfully de-
fies medical aid. All danger from the
grip, however, may be avoided by the
prompt use of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy, not one
case has ever been reported that has
not recovered. For sale by Eldridge

Dangers Of Cold and How to Avoid
Them.

More fatalities have their origin in or
result from a cold than from any other
cause. This tact alone should make
people more careful as there is no
danger whatever from a cold when it
is properly treated in the beginning.
For many years Chamberlain Cough
Remedy has been recognized as the
most prompt and effectual medicine in
use for this disease. 1t acts on NATURES
plan, loosens the cough, relieves the
lungs, opens the secretions and aids
nature in restoring the system to a
healthy condition. Sold by Eldridge

THE HOME
Providing for the Future.

There is one problem that domi-
mates the home, an obtrusive, perva-
sive problem that ofttimes fills the
whole horison of life, one that, like
Banquo's ghost will not down.; it is
the ever-present question of home T.
nancing. When we have mastered the
ito have" the problem of the ito
hold" confronts us. 1t is the question
of providing for the home which can
never be properly answered until we
realize that provide" is verb that
should ever be corrugated in two
tenses-present and future.
There is in our American life, too
often, blind optimism in living up to
an income, in assuming that because
the sun of prosperity shines warmly
TODAY there is no need of providing
umbrellas for a possible rainy to-mor-
row. Those who wisely live within an
income rarely have to face the PROB
lem of trying to live without one.
There are two simple guarantees
against future poverty and depend
ence on others, two great safeguards
for home and family-a bank-book
and an insurance policy. They repre-
sent the material defense OF the home,
a bulwark of loves forethought stand
ing strong and fine in the hour
need.

Care of the Eyes.

Few people realize the need Of rest
ing the eyes occasionally and Of bath
ing them often. A hot water bath
night and morning will be good for
strong eyes and help to strengthen
weak or tired eyes. The care OF the
eyes should be studied, as great dan
gers result from carelessness. Dis
eases of the eyes are very easily COM
municated and oftentimes by want OF
thought in households, especially
where there are small children, as
promiscuous use of towels and soap
may affect an entire household with
very serious eye disease, as sore eyes
and granulated lids are very infec-
tive. Children should be taught while
very young not to use the handker-

The Problem of Keeping Servants.

Until women are willing to coop
crate in aiding each other to lind good
house-workers and the house-Workers
TO find good situations, and reallze
that their present selfish pushing ana
bribing and concealing and decelvlng
are bad business as well as PAD
morals, they must expect to sutfer the
punishment reserved for selfish 1ndl-
viduals always and everyWhere-an
archy. discomfort and shameful tall-
ure in the business in hand, writes
Josephine Daskam Bacon in the Fep-
ruarv number of the American Maya
zine.
I do not mean by cooperation a gen
eral feeble good will. mean the apan-
donment of pet Individual domestic
habits: the sacrifice of a DEFINITE
amount of time each week or month;
the willingness to ask and answer
detailed questions; the strength OF
mind to forego certain private ad-
vantages that would follow withdrawal
from ones pledged word to a com
munity and a class; the courage TO go
without a great amount OF ease one
might get by mere accident to insure
a fair amount of ease pretty certainty
TO a large number. Take one practlcal
instance of what mean. Any woman
who has answered the advertisement
of another woman "WhO wishes 10
place a good servant" and met the
woman in her home, has either nao
the advantage of a valuable CONFER
ence with her and found good serv-
ant or failed to cumber herse1 Win
an unsuitable one; or she has CON
fronted from two to six women on the
same errand, all glazing at each other,
all competing for presumptlvely
able worker. There is no better way
to get a good servant in my OPINION,
if speaks we'll for maid and mistress.
But means that the mistress gives up
a portion of her time, her house room
and her information to an employe or
no further use to her and a prospec-
tive employer whom she does not
know. How many women do 1t?
But this means work!
Of course it does. 1t means COM
mittees of inquiries and estimates and
adjustments, all the energy, in TACT
goes into women's clubs, to take adj
vertisements from billboards and
chloroform INDECENT animals and run
church fairs and elevate the Sums
and teach the Indians lacework and
the negros bookkeeping anything, In
short, but the decentralization OF the
