Merchants Are
Pleased With
Holiday Trade

Augusta merchants are exceeding
~ well satisfied with the results o
the campaign carried on by the Au
gusta Board of Trade for the securing
of Christmas business.
The Il days before Christmas ar,
usually considered by the bushes:
houses the period of Christmas shop
ping and so are used for purposes o
comparison in arriving at the result
Of the Holiday trade. This year, nov
that the smoke of battle is over, ano
the merchants have had time to fig
ure up results, the general report
comes in that the Christmas bushes:
Of 1911 has been better than that OF
any preceding year.
IT am confident" said one member
Of the Board OF Trade, who is in g
position to be thoroughly familiar
with the situation, "that the average
business man has done from 800 tt
$500 worth more business than any
preceding Christmas"
The fact that this increased vol
ume of business was done during a
time when the travelling was not of
the best and with a heavy rain on
the Saturday forenoon before Christ
mes indicates the worth of the pub
lefty campaign inaugurated by the
Board of Trade. This is the first
time that so thorough an effort has
been made by the Board of Trade to
interest outside visitors in coming to
Augusta and the results appear to
justify the action of the Board. 1t is
safe to say that next year the same
plans will be carried out, only on a
more elaborate scale.

LOVE AND THE AEROPLANE
Some Good Advice for Those Daring
MortaIs Who Would Do Their
Counting AIoft.

Secure a nice roomy aeroplane, and
place in 1t an old-fashioned sofa or
armchair. Then put the girl in, get
in yourself and turn on the power.
Do not be in any hurry. Get far
enough up so that you can be preoc-
cupied for a few moments without
landing.
1t is just as well to strap the girl
in9 She can't get away, of course, but
you can kiss a girl in an aeroplane
much easier If she is firmly secured.
Always keep one hand on the steer
ing apparatus and the other on the
girl; but if worst comes to worst, let
go the steering apparatus.
The following schedule, II adhered
to, will prevent ordinary accidents:
Five hundred feet up, hold girls
hand.
Six hundred feet up, arm around her
waist.
Seven hundred feet, drop everything
and hold girl, working steering appa-
ratus with both feet.
Be careful when you alight, not to
come down near a church. In the eX-
element of the occasion you may for
get yourself and marry the girl.
Many fatal accidents have resulted in
this manner.-Puck.

Funds to Einht tuberculosis,

Based on reports from all parts OF
the United States the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis has issued a statement
which shows that in 1910 nearly $751;
100000 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis, as opposed to $4,000, 600
spent in 1909. The largest item Of ex-
pense in 1910 was for treatment in
sanatoria and hospitals, $11,376,500 be-
ing expended for that purpose, or
more than double the amount for 1909.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
spent $3.50, 800, and the tuberculosis
dispensaries $3.50, 900. The special mu-
nicipal and state expenditures aggre-
gate $1,75O,O00.
The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey OF
the years work Is the increase in the
percentage Of public money spent.
While in 1909 53,5 per cent. of the
total expenditure was from federal,
state, municipal or county funds, 62.6
per cent. came from public appropria-
lions in 1910. The actual amount Of
public money spent in tuberculosis
work this past year was $9,267,90 or
more than double the amount from
this same source in 1909. This fact
indicates, the national association de-
clares, that anti-tuberculosis associa-
lions are gaining ground, by securing
increased approximations from public
money.

the book to her, looked at him as
though she were asking a question.
and then, rapidly running through the
leaves, placed her finger at a certain
part of a certain page and turned the
book around so that the Japanese
could see. He nodded and, after bow

More than friendly! Like a white

stood there on the rocking platform OF
the car. He and she would have to be
more than friendly! He had never
seen her until that day. He did not
even know her name. But all his life
belonged to her, and would belong to
her forever. The miracle which had
been worked upon him, might 1t not
also have been worked upon her? He
felt unworthy. and yet she might care
might already have begun to care
but he put the daring hope out of his
mind, and looked again at Maku.
The Japanese had not moved. His
face still wore its racial look OF pa
tient Indifference; his hands were still
crossed in his lap. He sat on the edge
Of the seat, in order that his feet
might rest on the floor, for his legs
were short; and with every lurch OF
the car, he swayed easily, adapting
himself to the motion with an uncon'
scious ease that betrayed supple mus
cles.
The car stopped at a corner and
the man and woman got out, but
Maku did not even Eel to glance al
them. Orme stepped back to make
way for them on the platform, and as
they descended and the conductor

suburban landscape, with its well
