Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1908-03-10

There is q rumbling in the air
caused by complaints of purchas
ers of vegetables, seeds etc., being
sold by liquid measure instead of
dry measure which in the end
counts up against the purchaser.
There is some talk of prosecution.
The latter can be avoided by deal
ing in legal measure.
The G. A. r. Department of
Georgia and South Carolina held
an administration council on Sat
urday at their headquarters, to
arrange for the Department En-.
campment which will meet in this
city on April 10, 1908. Departs
ment Commander 0. J. Webster
was present at the meeting. This
was the first time he has left his
home since the beginning Of his
illness five weeks ago.
A fire which might have reach
ed large proportions broke out in
the Pressing Club run by negroes,
early Sunday morning, on Grant
street in the middle of the block
of frame store rooms. Prompt
action on the part of the fire de-
partment left the building with
nothing worse than charred
board ceiling.
The Ladies Aid of the First
Christian church will hold an all

J. L. Wellman, East Central ave-
nue. on Thursday. The ladies
will bring lunch with them.
Prof. E. Tyner reports the
school buildings OF this city IN a
good condition as far as fire escapes
are concerned. The doors all open
out and the Railways are all wide.
There are four outside doors to
each of the large buildings. The
only thing that could prevent safe
exit would be the burning of the
stairways before the alarm was
given. In the negro school build
ing there is one door that opeus IN.
That door is upstairs. The Prim
cipal of that school has been in

A Noble Charity.

| ~ lNOOiO Stikki -
With the advent of women into
the field Of business u problem was
encountered, brot about thru the
fact that Il large percentage of the
young women, who under take tc
earn livelihood, arc unable tc
earn sufficient money whercwith to
maintain themselves according to
their taists and are subject to great
temptations.
This situation has been taken
into deep consideration by men
and women in many cities (for it
is in the cities that the greatest
need prevaiIed) and associations,
societies and clubs have been form
ed for the purpose of offering
cheerful, christian homes to the
''business women. Such an in
stitution has been opened in Mac
on. 1t is under the auspices of
the Missionary Union there which
conducts what is known as Helm
iath Hall, a place furnishing a
healthy, moral home for business
women; it is denominational.
1t is not operated for any but a
charitable cause and it's work of
giving women, especially the ones
unprotected by near relations, or
positions paying them sufficient
money to enable them home COM
forts, is noble one and worthy
support and encouragement
They accommodate about twenty
regularly and while each one, par
taking of. the hospitality of the
Hall, is required to pay board in
accordance with their means Ga
fact not to be lost sight of as 1T
places the recipient in a position
above the feeling of dependency
the sums secured this way are not
sufficient to the maintenance of
the Hall. In order to assist in
paving the expense, meals are Sc
cured at restaurant which is run
in connection for both men and
women. Yet, while the Hall is
run in strictest economy with but
$50 rent and $50 superintendent
salary a month, it costs SD a
month for each boarder and funds
arc necessarily needed from the
outside world for the maintenance.
1t is a noble work and appeals
to every man who honors the mem
ory of his mother and respects the
virtue of his sister, and if this
should touch the purse string OF
any of our readers they can donate

cOttOnseed oil and prime keaAV2Hl1
beef suet. Everyone is MA
acquainted with beef suet ~
the most digestable of all animal fats.
Cottonseed oil is very much like olive oil,
the only difference being that the Fair
bank process of treating cottonseed oil
makes it much milder in flavor. These
vegetable oils are exceedingly wholesome
being prescribed for the diets of dys-
peptics and consumptives as flesh build
ers. Cottolene is therefore food as well
as frying and shortening medium.
How about lard? Do physicians pre-
scribe it Cor any pork products) to in
vallds! The most critical cannot taste
whether food is cooked with Cottolene
or with lard and butter. Indeed the cook
has to be clever to use lard with as sue
cessful results as COttolene Cottolene
is used alone, or with part butter. for
making cakes. 1t cannot be equalled as
shortening for biscuits, pie .crusts, etc.
Cottolene produces best results in all
kinds of frying-giving doughnuts, pota.
toes, and meats just the right color and
flavor-without greasiness. And food
cooked with Cottolene is digestible. We
sell and recommend Cottolene.

Reported 10000 Will League Together
but That the Brewers Will
Be in Background.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 11.-Simulta-
neously with the convention of the
United Brewers association here June
8 to 10 a new organization of the
allied trades, with membership of
10000 big business concerns, will be
formed The main object of this
league will be to combat the prohibi-

The brewers will not be leaders in
this move, although they may join it.
The members of the new league will
be maltsters, manufacturers of special
brewing machinery, dealers in brew
ing supplies, real estate men, contrac-
tors, builders, wagon makers, glass
makers, insurance men, and perhaps
even the agriculturists who raise the
barley from which the malt is made.
The, new association will be, in eff
feet, the joining together of the local
organizations which have been formed
in various parts of the country. The
executive officers of the local clubs
will meet here to perfect the national
organization.
