Lessons For The Home.

Let us think about that word at the
head of this department.-The Home.
Many of us are kept at home by rea
son of old age, sickness or other de-
tanning cause. And some of this num-
Der have come, we fear, to think of
the home as prescribed place with
all manner of limitations. Those in
sound health, who, by reason of many
duties, can seldom travel, come to
think Of their lot within the home as
unfortunate.
All, friends, we make a grave mis-
take when we undervalue the privilege
of living and working within the
home circle. The home is a refuge.
Thank God that for you there is a
landlocked harbor instead of the tenn
pestuous sea. Make your home real
refuge. Make it place to which
those of the home circle who do 60 out
may find on coming back a place of
cheer and comfort.
The home ought to be school-a
place where the children learn more
about the problems of right living ;
more about duty, Christ and God,
than any other place in the world, not
barring the Sunday school room.
Whether you are 20 or 90 you ought to
live with the children in the home.
Have companionship with them. Do
not look down upon them, but share
their joys and sorrows, enter into all
their pleasures. You will be helping
them and they will teach YOU the sec
ret of never growing old.
The home IS to be school for
adults as we'll as children. The days
are shortening that the evenings may
be longer in the home for reading
good books, for sharing the thoughts
of the Masters of Wisdom.
r. But be sure to shut out from your
home all malice. all harsh speaking,
all pickering and instil love in all
words and actions.

Worth Knowing.

Orange salad is quickly made and
will help out many hurry-up meal
Simply peel large seedless oranges
and slice thick. Lay the piece on
lettuce and pour rich dressing over
them. Chill and serve.
Caramel sweet potatoes are deli
cious. To prepare them, simply boil
and slice the potatoes and dip them
first in melted butter and then in
granulated sugar. Put into hot
oven, till coating of brown caramel
is formed.
When cutting brick butter into
small squares for use on the table,
bits of the butter often will cling to
the knife and spoil the looks of the
square. If a piece of paraffin paper
is wrapped around the silver knife,
the butter will cut in sharp clean
squares and will not cling to the knife
at all.
A silkoline spool nailed to the floor

Dress sHirts will not sag if they are
provided with tape straps evenly pin
ned with safety pins to the skirt band
and are hung on two hooks, instead
of one.
When the little white standards in
lace collars become soiled, do not at
tempt to wash them; soak them over
night in gasoline, then cover them
with scented talcum powder.
Do not throw away a discarded UNI
brella. The ribs will be found most
useful for stalking crysanthemums or
other stocky plants. Raffia is better
than string for tying up the plants.

TANKS ARE FAILING AS
RESULT OF DROUGHT.
Several on SeabOard Are
Giving Out.

Seaboard Railway engineers are
watching the weather bureau closely
and hoping for rain to fill the streams
from which the water tanks are re-
plenished. At several points between
Americus, Montgomery and Savannah
the tanks have failed entirely, and en-
gines have to make long runs to the
few water stations yet available. The
Ohoopee river, where a tank is locat-
ed, has actually dried up and ceased
to flow, while several smaller streams
are rapidly failing. OF course the
water supply at Americus and the ter
minal points is abundant, as are also
a half dozen tank stations, but some
of these may collapse as we'll unless
relief comes shortly There has been
no delay in schedules as yet on ac-
count of water scarcity, but consider
able inconvenience has resulted, and
relief from the unpleasant situation
is desired.

DELAY IN CITY PRIMARY;
NO CALL OF COMMITTEE.
Two Elections win Be Forced With
Brief Interim.

Americus is promised an alderman
ic campaign of only a few days as
the result of delay upon the part of
city executive committee in ordering
the necessary primary election for
the nomination of three candidates.
The regular city election will be held
on December 15th-just one month
away-and the primary should precede
that event by at least one week or ten
days, so it will be seen that little
times is left for preliminaries. The
primary election, of course, deter
mines the result of the regular cleo
ton, which really is but legal for
mality, and all interest, therefore, CEN

GOING TO SAVANNAH IN
MEETING IN 1910.
D. A. R. Session at BrunS-
wick Closes.
Resolution to Support
Administration Is
Voted Down.

Brunswick, Ga. Nov 13.-At the
the Georgia Daughters of the Revolu-
tion last night, Miss Anna C. Ben
ming of Columbus was nominated vice
president general over Mrs. Harper
of EIberton. A surprise came in the
declination of Mrs. Godfrey to serve
as regent
Those elected are Mrs. John Gra-
ham of Marietta, state regent. Mrs.
George M. Brown of Atlanta first vice
regent; Mrs. W. H. DeVoe of Bruns-
wick, second vice regent; Mrs. How
ard H. Mccall of Atlanta, secretary;
Miss Mabel Cortelyou of Marietta, cor
responding secretary.
Others elected were Mrs. Richard
Spencer of Columbus, treasurer Mrs.
T. M. Green of Washington, historian;
Miss Ruby Ray of Atlanta, state ed
itor.
Savannah was selected for the next
meeting, which will be held in De-
cember, 1910.
A motion to instruct the delegation
in the national congress to support
the present administration was voted
down.
Rides over the city, followed by an
oyster roast at the cannery, were at
tractive features of the late afternoon
program with the result that 4 o'clock
the conference hall was abandoned
A score of automobiles with several
carry-alls afforded the visitors an op-
portunity to view the Lanier Oak and
other points of interest. The oyster
roast was a success and greatly en-
joyed. Lanier's Marshes of Glynn"
were viewed at sunset by practically
the entire body.
President Dickey of Emory College
addressed the conference at the clos
ing session.

DECISION is STILL IN
HANDS OF COMMITTEE
Sumter Will Doubtless Get
the Award.

Sumter county will undoubtedly re-
ceive the award of the committee in
the good roads contest, as between
this county and Spalding, although
the committee will not arrive at de-
cision before Monday morning. The
committee at Albany, of which Mayor
Tarver is chairman, had not received
up to last night the official report of
all the observers accompanying the
cars on the endurance run to Atlanta,
and until all reports are in the COM
mittee will withhold decision in the
contest. Mayor Tarver, speaking un-
officially. and from observation large
ly, is quoted as saying that he thinks
the good roads prize will come to
Sumter all right when the award is
finally made.

BAPTISTS TO MEET AT
DUBLIN ON TUESDAY
AmeriGus viii Be Repre-

Furlow Lawn and First Baptist
church will both be largely repre-
sented at the Georgia State Baptist
convention, which assemblies this
week at Dublin in annual session. DR.
Lansing Burrows of First Baptist and
Rev. r. l.. Bivins of Furlow Lawn
church will attend as will many
members of each congregation, the
Americus party leaving at noon to-
morrow. The Georgia State Baptist
convention is one of the largest
church bodies in the South and in
cludes in its membership many dis

The attendance in Dublin this week
will be very large, and the. proceed
ings of the convention will be most
interesting
