THE EVENING CHIT-cHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

Such Sbeamfng little woman
really stopped for a moment and
said, as that Mrs. r. or not?" so
much had the happiness that fairly
radiated from her transformed her
usually sober little face.
AS soon as could for. the crowd,
I worked my way down the car to
her, anxious to ask my little neigh
Dor if she had had good news of
some kind. aa..
But 1 didn't need to ask her. She
was so full of it that she told me as
soon as we had exchanged good even
ings.
And what do you think this trans
forming event was?
I'm on my way in town to go to
the theater with my son. she said
proudly. Were going down to LIS
to dinner and then we're going to see
Maud Adams No girl on her way
to meet her first lover ever announced
the fact with more conscious pride.
I've seen children in the prospect
of their first circus and young girls
dressing for their first dance-the
shine of far greater happiness-the
happiness of heart that has learned
how much besides happiness there is
in the world-was in those middle
aged eyes.
L don't know what startled that son
into a realization of his opportunities.
1 wish 1 did SO that I could pass it
along to all the other sons that read
this
+, 1 don't believe most sons realize
their power of giving happiness by
little things like that.
They fancy that if they contribute
literally to household expenses and
treat their fathers and mothers with
respect they are good children.
But they are not.
Thew are simply not bad.
If you had the elixir of youth in
YOUR possession you wouldn't forget
or neglect to give it to those who
needed it, would you?
And you have.

ing invited to share in their sons

The Quickest and Simplest
Cough Cure.

Better than all the cough medicines
you could buy, and far less expensive
is a simple remedy that you can make
at home in five minutes. A whole pint
of it-enough to last a family a long
time-costs only 81 cents. It is pleas
ant to take-children like it.
1t will usually conquer deep-seated
cough in twenty-four hours. Two or
three doses overcome an ordinary
cough. 1t is also splendid for colds,
bronchitis, incipient lung trouble,
whooping cough, etc.
Granulated Sugar Syrup go. 1872 OF.
HlneX Zz2 or.
Take a pint of Granulated Sugar, add
u pint of warm water and stir about 2
minutes. Put the 21k ounces Pinex in a
pint bottle and fill up with the syrup.
Take teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
GRADUATED Sugar Syrup is a simple
but excellent sedative. Pinex is the
most valuable concentrated compound
of Norway White Pine Extract, and is
rich in all the medicinal elements of the
pine None of the weaker pine prepar-
atoms compare with the real Pinex
itself All druggists have it or will get
it If requested
Strained honey can be used instdad OF
the syrup, and makes a very fine honey
and pine tar cough syrup.

diversions means being made young
again.
You doubt it? You don't think your
father and mother would care for go
ing about with you? You think
they're home bodies and like staying
at home better?
Try it some time.
Next time you go to see her, tell the
lady of your heart that next Satur-
day instead of taking her to dinner or
the theater you are going to take your
little mother
If she's the right kind of lady she'll
love you all the better for neglecting
her in that way.
And for that little week end fishing
or hunting excursion don't telephone
any of your chums to join you, but
first try to get father to go up in the
attic, root out his old fishing pole or
gun and come along. Z
I've written this in the masculine
gender because I thinks sons are more
apt to drift away from sharing their
social life with their family than
daughters
But that need not prevent any
daughter who sees a suggestion in
this from taking it.

Spelling THE PAVEMENTs.
People Are Again Burning Leaves on
the Asphalt.

Don't burn leaves on the pavement"
This is the warning sent out by City
Engineer John Rogers this morning.
The city engineer happened to be in
specting some paving this morning and
he came across different spots where
the people have been burning their
leaves. The effect of the fire was very
evident.
Where fire of this kind is built on
the asphalt pavement the heat burns
out the oils and in many other ways
destroys the strength and the dura-
bility of the paving. On the brick paw
ing with the asphalt filler the effect is
the same and the tar below is melted
and weakened.
There are also number of people
burning their leaves on the parkings
and destroying them in this way. The
city officials will have to place the Hal
loween force of police on the streets to
watch the fathers instead of the boys.

Miss Wilson says that one OF the
greatest advantages in studying abroad
is the chance to cultivate the correct
accent in other languages as it cannot
be given in this country. She sings
with equal ease in French, Italian. and
German. Notwithstanding her years II
Europe and her long residence down
east" Miss Wilson speaks plain United
States the way we talk it in Kansas
She is a woman of broad general intel
ligence and womanly charm. Drawing
and painting are among her many ac-
complishments. and while her browning
gift is her wonderful voice, she would
still be great without it.

Superintendent E. v Messerue of the

The popularity of this issue is that the
bonds are for denominations of only

largest number of bonds in any single

WILL
MEET IN ALLAN IA
BIG MEETING TO BE HELD IN
MAY IN INTEREST OF BETTER
GAME LAWS.

a meeting of the Association or
Georgia Sportsmen is to be held az
the state capitol building in Atlanta
at 10 o'clock ON the morning Of May
18TH for the purpose OF framing some
resolutions looking to a better pro
lection Tor the game in this state
Glynn county may be represented az
the meeting and all other counties
should be on hand as the question of
the protection of game is large one,
and constant attention is required lest
the birds diminish SO in numbers that
hunting Will become a sport Of the
past
The bill which it is hoped to frame
will embody the following points:
Frst by prohibiting the sale Of
game, market and pot hunters will
be stopped Second, by requiring a
license those unwilling TO pay for the
privilege will be stopped, and the
funds arising from the sale Of licenses
will enable the game commission to
enforce this law Third, by requiring
written permission TO hunt on the
lands Of others, 80 per cent, or more
of the negroes and idle whites will
be stopped. and taking away this
temptation to quit work will help the
farmers to have their work 90 on more
regularly; and the land owners can
then decide who may hunt on their
lands; and the game wardens will un
dertake the UNPLEASANT duty Of pros
ecutng all those who violate any
part of this law. Fourth, by shorten
ing the open season. cutting out the
month of November when many of the
quail are too young to fly fast or far;
in this month heretofore more quail
have been killed than in any other of
the open season; this Will also be bet
ter for the farmers as it will post
pone the driving and riding through
the fields until the crops are mostly
gathered. and the farmers will also
then have more time to join in the
sport
