HOME OF o. A. RS IN ATLANTA.

Saturday afternoon, ON Piedmo1t
avenue, Atlanta, the cornerstone of
the chapter house of the Atlanta chap
ter, d. A. R., was laid with impressive
ceremonies by the Masons, including
the grand master, George NJ. Napier,
and other prominent officers.
Mrs. Joseph Morgan Is regent of
this chapter, which was the first or
ganized in Georgia and the second in
the United States. The site Of their
chapter house was given by Mr..
George Washington Collier, father of
Mr.. Frank Collier, of Marietta. The
building fronts Piedmont Park and
the Driving Club.
The house will contain, In addition
to the Longfellow chair and pen and
other historic gifts, tablets to COM
memorate the generous spirit of the
Massachusetts people. who presented
Craigie house to the chapter, and 9th
er memorial tablets.
There will also be a handsome
cathedral window at the rear of the
large hall, the gift of Mrs. s. W. Fos-
ter, in memory of the founders OF the
chapter, Mrs. Martha Berrian Duncan
and Miss Junia Mckinley.
In this connection we are reminded
that Mrs. Graham has called attention
to the selection of June the 10th as
the day on which the graves of Revo-
lutionary heroes will be decorated
with flowers and the glory of their
deeds recalled. She also reminds the
d. A. RS of Meadow Garden, in Au-
gusta, once the home of George Wal
ton, one of Georgia's signers of the
Declaration of Independence. 1t was
bought by the national society as an
historic site in memory Of the distin-
guished Georgian, and presented to
the Georgia chapters as museum for
relics of colonial days. A descriptive
pamphlet and catalogue is sold for the
benefit of Meadow Garden, and per-
sons with relics and books suitable
for it's library are urged TO send them
to Mrs. Harriet Gould Jefferies, of Au-
gusta.

THE TIME TO DRAW BUSINESS
Advertising Should Be Sent Out on
Its Mission When Things Are
DuIIest.

The following from the Chagrin
Falls (OreD Exponent contains many
facts true to nature:
There is nothing on earth so mys-
teriously funny as an advertisement.
The prime first and last and all the
time object of an advertisement is TIC
draw custom 1t is not and never VIII
be designed for any other purpose.
So the merchant waits till the busy
season comes and his store is so full
of customers that he can't get his hat
off, then he rushes to the printer and
goes in for advertising. When the
dull season gets along and there Is no
trade and he wants to sell his goods
so badly he can't pay his rent he
stops advertising. That is what some
Of them do; but occasionally some
level-headed merchant does more OF 1t
and scoops in all the business, While
his neighbOr makes mortgages to pay
the gas bill There are times when
you couldn't stop people from buying
everything in the store if you planted
a cannon behind the door, and that's
the time the advertisement is sent out
on it's holy mission. 1t makes light
work for advertising, for chalk sign
on the sidewalk could do all that was
needed. and half holiday six days in
a week; but who wants to favor an
advertisement? They are built to do
hard work, and should be sent out IN
dull days, when a customer has to be
knocked down with hard facts and
kick ed insensible with bankrupt re-
duct ions and dragged in with irresis-
tible slaughter of prices, before he Will
spend a cent. That's the end and aim
of Advertising and if ever you open a
store, don't try to get people to come
when they are already sticking out of
the windows, but give them your adj
vertisemen right between the eyes in
a dull season, and you will wax rich
and own a fast horse and perhaps be
able to smoke a cigar once or twice a
year. Write this down where you'll
fall over it every day. The time to
draw business is when you want bust
ness, and not when you have more
business numbers than it Isl reaching
now :"

A CASTER OIL TREAT.

Mr.. Perry was an old southern gen.
tleman. exceedingly polite. He would
go out of the way any time to avoid
offending a neighbor or friend One
day neighbor met him en- the street
with: Hello, Mr. Perry; was just
going in to get a drink. Come in and
take something"
Thank you, Mr.. =, ! don't care
for anything" was the answer.
But come in and take something
just for sociability's sake"
Nov, | want to be sociable, but !
can't drink with you"
"All right. If you don't want to be
sociable. I'll go without drinking"
growled the friend and he silently
walked along in the direction in
which Mr.. Perry was travelling.
Presently the pair drew near a
drug store. when Mr.. Perry broke
out with:
"Mr. -, Pm not feeling at all well
to-day, and think ri go into this
drug store and get some castor OIL
Will you join me?'
What, a dose Oh castor OF?
Yes
Nav; hate the stuff. saying
which a cold chill went ,'9ei the man.
DIS visible in its effects te. Mr. Perry
as if the ague had seized him on the
street.
But | want you to lake glass or
oil with me just to be sociable. you
know"
The friend still refuscf, when Mr.
Perry said:
Your sociable whiskey is just as
distasteful to me as my socIable oil is
to you. Don't you think I've as much
reason to be offended with you as you
have with me?''
"The pair heartily shook hands, the
dialogue was circulated n Covington,
and Mr.. Perry was never invited to
drink again.-Courier Journal

Announces Water Is Boiled.

A tea kettle that whistles, cheerily
to let the housewife know that the
water is boiling and that the gas may
be turned down has been introduced in
England and is meeting with favor.
The kettle has no lid through which
the scalding steam may issue, but is
filled and emptied through the spout,
which is sufficiently large. The alb
sence of the lid not only prevents
scalding but keeps any of the steam
from escaping, which means tlrat the
water will reach boiling point much
more quickly than in the ordinary
ket-.e In the spout is a stopper which
contains the whistle, and this ais the
safety valve of the kettle as well as
the means by which announce ent is
made that the water is boiling.

Prof. Smith Taking Hold.

Prof. William H. Smith, the able and
popular educator from Holmes county
who is state supervisor of the element
airy rural schools, is preparing to take
up the duties that will fall to him in
his new field of labor.
One important feature of Prof
Smiths work will consist in starting
off on a practical basis of the CONSOLE
dated rural school system, which was
authorized at the 1910 session of the
legislature. By adopting this plan
where there are two or three country
schools within a radius of few miles
one school will be maintained, the
school trustees being in the same act
authorized to provide for the transpOr.
tation of pupils who live beyond two
miles from the school so consolidated
1t is figured out that the cost of trans
portation will be more than covered by
the saving in teachers salaries, as the
combining of two or three schools in
one will enable the authorities to dis
pense with the services of one or more
teachers.

Abstainer as a Coed Samaritan.

And it came to pass as a certain
man journeyed from the cradle to
the grave he fell among saloonkeep-
ers, who robbed him of his money,
ruined his good name, destroyed his
reason, and then kicked him out
worse than dead
A moderate drinker came that
way, and when he saw him he said:
He is But a dog; they served him
right. Let him die; he is a curse
to his family"
And also license voter came that
way, and when he saw him he said:
The brute Pull a ball and chain
upon his leg an work him on the
street."
And fanatic teetotaler came that
way, and when he saw him he had
compassion on him, and raised him
up, assisted him to his home, and
ministered to his wants and the
wants of his family, got him to sign
the pledge and started him on his
journey in comfort and happiness.
Who, think you, was the greater
friend to humanity-the saloonkeep-
er, the moderate drinker. the license
voter, or the fanatic teetotaler?--
Rev. A. ]. Gordon, in the Watch
word.

What a Change!

A travelling salesman, not yet in
his fifties, returned from the South
a few weeks ago and declared here
after he would vote the temperance
ticket; said he: For many years /
have done business in the South,
and it used to be that in order to
sell goods you had to set up the
drinks; now that is the exception,
and it is better for the salesman
not even to offer. This change has
taken place in my time, and l am a
young man. | have been opposed to
prohibition, but ] have seen already
such good results that l shall here
after vote that ticket" 1t was also
remarked sometime ago that it used
TO be in the South when Governors
met they always had whiskey and
drank each others health; now the
Governors meet and shake hands.
Some time ago we received a let
ter in answer to the editorial Loss
Of the Saloon, But" asking for
more detailed information about the
concoctions referred to as being sold
at soda fountains. Of course 1t
would be impossible to name these
drinks, Unfortunately; such
course would involve endless trouble
end litigation We can only state
that we were perfectly sure of our
statements: that we have learned to
Crlnk liquor by hrst taxing Lnese
toncoctions; that the taste has been
created in this way, and our infor-
nation is first hand from those who
have fallen through the soda foun-
tains. There is an enormous amount
CT stimulants of one sort or another
dispensed at these fountains. The
drinks are not themselves intoxicat-
ing unless taken in very large guam
titles, but the stimulation is very
great and creates a desire for some
thing stronger. Some of these things
go by the name of bitters and tonics;
others are preparations compounded
to order. All drinks at the foun-
tains are by no means bad, nor are
all fountains guilty of this bad prac-
tice, but it is sadly true that many
soda fountains are stepping-stones
to the saloon. The thirst for stimu-
liant is intense with many who live
up to the last ounce of strength and
one needs to keep a tight grip on
himself when he is getting the habit
of the soda ountain.-Baptist Com

WHAT isMEANT BY HIGH LICENSE?

Hannah offered the king 10000
talents of silver for the privilege of
killing off the Jews. This would be
equal to $5.3S3,0OO in our money.
That is high license in earnest; but
Hannah was willing to pay it, and
rummies are willing to pay it, If they
can be permitted to carry on their
work of death undisturbed.
What is high license? The pay
ment of a large instead of a small
sum of money for the privilege OF
committing a great crime. 1t I'M
plies copartnership with the rogues
of the nation, for the purpose OF
flooding the land with ignorance,
misery, poverty, and crime.
Humans high license was the price
of blood-and what is a liquor
license but the price of blood? 1t
is blood money, and represents heart
aches, hunger, disease, delirium.
Why not license other crimes? Why
not license theft and forgery? Why
not put a tax on caster-oil, and when
your friends come to see you invite
them to have a drink of oil? Why
not license the spread of eczema?
Why not have an itch excise board
in every school district, and con-
clude that inasmuch as the children
will have the itch anyway, license a
few of the best children-those of
good moral character'-fo speci-
fic sum, to give the itch to every
child they possibly can. Whip the
children for scratching. The harder
they scratch, the harder the whip
ping.
When the itch spreads too fast
put a higher tax on those who ped
die it. This is what the license sys-
TEN is doing with something infinite
" worse than the itch. We license
men to peddle drunkenness and
when men get too drunk lock them
up. The punishment comes on the
wrong man. By one law we make
drunkards, by-annther we imprison
them. By one law we send a man
into the ditch, and by another send
a patrol wagon and policeman after
him. If you are going to send po-
licemen after the helpless drunkard,
why not send them after the man
who made him drunk? He is pro-
tected by his license, isn't he. And
the drunkard is protected behind
prison walls! Why not give saloon
lists a little of the protection that is
so beneficial to the drunkard? But
where does the protection for the
wife and children come in? License
means continued existence; license
means life. Prohibition means death.
License is personal liberty for crime.
Prohibition, civil liberty against
crime.
Humans high license appealed to
the cupidity of the king. The whole
license system is based on love of
gold Uncle Sam wants revenue,
politicians want money and votes,
and the drinking places furnish
both Rumsellers want gold, and
gold they will have, though it
brushes the life out of its victims,
and brings untold suffering upon
the women and children

Adulterated Liquor.

The latest writer from Germany on
the liquor question declares that one
manufacturing chemist says he sup
piled 267 wine-merchants with chem
icals for adulterating purposes.
One wine merchant confesses that
in seven years past he has used 900
tons of glycerine, 120 tons of tar
taric acid, sixteen tons of potash and
eleven tons of citric acid.
One wine-merchant convicted and
fined $4,000 confessed that in one
year he made and sold $4,000 gal
Ions of wine without using single
drop of grape juice, using nothing
but chemicals.
If this be true of Germany what
can be said of this country? Let
the inventive trait of American gen
ius answer We venture the asser-
ton that more than three-fourths of
the liquors sold in Georgia, as pure
liquor, never saw a distillery. Who
can estimate, the amount of injury
being done to the human family by
the manufacture and sale of this
deadly stuff Georgia Issue.

1t Takes Two.

A lad of seventeen had been sent
to a saloon to take the measures for
a new counter 1t was very cold,
and he arrived with his teeth fairly
chattering, for his coat was thin.
The saloonkeeper mixed a hot drink,
and pushed it over the counter to
him.
It'll cost you nothing" he said,
Drink it down, and you'll soon stop
shivering, my boy"
He meant it kindly, too, and did
MT think any harm" said the appren-
tice as he told the story. That's
what made it harder to push it back
and say didn't want it,
1T must have been big tempta-
tiOn," said friend.
Well" replied the lad frankly,
I'D rather have had it than some
other kinds. You see, it takes two
to make a temptation. There's no
saioonkeeper and no cold weather
can make me drink when | don't
want to. The temptation I'm afraid
of is the one I'm ready for before
it comes, by hankering after it. 1t
takes two every time to make
successful temptation"
He tempted me" only explains
one side of the temptation. The
other side-the personal side we
must answer fer. and no excuse will
save us-Mrs. George H. Miller.
