ton. Philadelphia has only 100000
and Chicago $4,000. New York is
veritably the New Jerusalem. 1t en-

VACATION FOR HORSES.
Uncle Sam Gives His Thirty Days Off
Every Summer.

Uncle Sam allows thirty days va
cation year to the postoffice depart
ment horses in Washington. The an
lmals are sent, few at time, to a
fine, rich pasture in Maryland.
Every employe of the govern
ment," says the chief clerk in the
postoftice department, receives thir-
ty days sick leave if necessary. |
see no reason why the horses we use
in the business of the department
ought not to receive rest or a vaca-
ton, and hereafter l am going to
send each of the horses away for a
thirty-day period of rest. We can
spare many of them in the summer,
and this is the time they will appre-
ciate a rest from the hot asphalt and
welcome the green grass of the coun-
try and the shade of the trees.

LIGHTNING FIRES MANS SUIT.
Farmer Unhurt by Shock, But Finds
His Clothes Burning I'm.

Joseph Bohlen, living at Carpen-
ter, ILL.,, small station on the Wa
bash railroad, was driving a four
horse team to gang pillow when a
storm came up. Lightning struck
the outfit, dropping all of the horses
in their tracks. Three of them were
killed instantly, but the fourth re-
vived. Bohlen stood still, stunned,
with the reins around his neck,
blinded by the glare, but unhurt. He
was aroused from his trance by
singing sensation and found his
clothing on fire. He had matches in
several pockets, and all had been
lighted by the electricity.

LETTER TO w. A. BALDWIN.
Dawson, Ga.

Dear Sir: There are thousands of
people saying: That's what I call
a good job of paint, it has worn three
years. I'm going to repaint before
it needs it; three years is enough. -
Those people are a long way be-
hind the times There are two rea-
sons for painting; those people
know only one; they are thinking
only of wear; of keeping-out water.
Three years may be too long for the
looks of paint; it isn't half long
enough for the wear. If all you want
of paint is to keep~out water Devoe
is good for a dozen years in average
places. And that isn't all.
The cost of the job is the first
thing to think of, and, if you think
of it right you needn't bother with
wear.
The paint that takes least gallons
makes the least bill for both paint
and painting; people forget the labor
bill; it's the biggest bill in the Job.
A gallon saved is about IS. Five
gallons saved is $25. The paint that
saves gallons-that's the paint to
wear.
Geo w Brown, Union, C, painted
B. F. Arthur's house there twelve
years ago with 80 gallons; repaint-
ed five years ago lead-and-oil with
20 gallons; last year Devoe with IA
gallons. There's $50 saved on paint
and labor; don't know what he paid
for that 30-gallon stuff; no matter.
Go by the gallons. Yours truly
Sc F w DEVOE & co
P. S.-Peoples Drug Store and
Dawson Drug Co. sell our paint.

What Is Required
Section IS of the tariff bill, signed

huires that every corporation be
ruired to pay an excise tax of one
\ centum upon it's net income over
a above $4,000. Of course none
the corporations want to pay any

ief ground for complaint is re-
riding the preparation of the nee

This information will have to be

There are several concerns in Daw-

A VEGETARIAN DIET.

Apart from any other question, is
it any wonder that so many people ex-
clude meat for Faust Brand Spaghetti,
considering how well it nourishes
without producing that uncomfortable
after dinner" feeling, without over
heating the body, and at cost that
seems a mere nothing when compared
with the price of meat.
Any day-every day-once day or
twice day-for grown folks and
growing folks-indoor people and out
door people-strong digestions and
weak digestions-brain workers and
body workers-there's no other one
food that begins to be like Faust
Brand Spaghetti. And how indescrib-
ably good it is This time as steaming

eggs, today as side dish, tomorrow
as the principal dish always right

position to which they are not en-
titled. The central figure in the play
is Katherine Van Ripper, who has been
reared with extravagant notions and
who is left with 5000 month and ner
wits upon which to maintain her po-
sition and her Fifth Avenue apart
ment. Being clever girl, and thought
lessly disregarding her finer feelings,
she furnishes her apartment, obtains
her clothes and secures credit at the
shops through series of ingenious
deceits and subterfuges. A pair of
aristocratic aunts scheme to marry her
to an artless young western million
aire when Katherine falls in love with
an earnest young American whose
views on life are entirely opposed to
her own, and whose healthy scorn for
all social articles and duplicity awak-
ems her better nature. She resolves to
accept his hand, but only after she
has succeeded in paying her debts
and starting life anew with a clean
slate.
To accomplish this end taxes ene
girls ingenuity to the utmost but
she finally succeeds in finding hel
true self and real happiness.

Every woman will love this play!
She will love every character in it,
even to the men who are not as good
as some of the others, and she will
love every word they speak. And
why? Because the men in the play
talk like the husbands, brothers, ia.
theirs, sons and sweethearts of real
life; because the women in the play
are like the women we like to have
round US at home; because what they
all say, the men and women of The

man beings, and sounds like what
we hear every day at home and in the
