A curious: idea seems to prevail
that good health is a matter Of
muscular gymnastics of physical
culture. Hundreds have re-
Gently asked of this magazine:
''Give us a physical culture SER
les that we may be healthy. "
They have it in the series just
begun. Blu these same folks abb
solutely refuse to do the very
first thing that spells health: to
let fresh air come into their
houses by day and at night. A
woman may follow the best course
in physical culture ever invented
but it will do her very little good
if she sits in q room heavy with
fumes of gases or smoke; or with
the poisons of her own breath;
or, worse yet, if she sleeps in
such a room. The first rule to
good health--and without it no
good health is possible--is: New
er sit or sleep in a room that has
not window open: not an inch
or wo, but generously open.
Screen it, if you will, if you fear
the bugaboo of draft or cold, but
fresh air there must be in any
room in which we live. All the
"physical culture, "all the gym
nastics," all the physical exer-
cises" are useless if the cardinal
rule. of fresh air is ignored. AS
fresh air today is healing to tu-
berculosis and pneumonia, how
much more valuable is it as a
means of keeping us well. The
more fresh air we bre til deep
into our lungs the healthier we
will be. Ladies Home Journal.

THE BOYS SLING

A great hulking boy, with moth
ing to do,
Was trying his sling with a hard
stone or two,
And thought it good sport to
shoot down and kali
Our sweet feathered songsters
'apons.theagreel ' hill.
A dear little.4 bluebird,, perched
up in a tree,
Was singing the song of the
happy and free,
With his pretty mate by him.
how happy were they,
In Gods blessed sunshine, that
beautiful day!
In the midst of his song came
a stone from the hand
OF that cowardly, boy skulking
there on the sand,
And the birds note of joy broke
in faint cry,
AS he fell on the roadside to
struggle and die.
A bright life thus ended and laid
out of sight!
A helper destroyed, who we'll
earned his right
To his share of sunshine and his
place in life, Z
His pride is his nestlings and
dear little wife!
His song has been hushed, but
woe to the heart
So cruel and mean as to act such
a part!
Oh! never, dear children, thus
sully your hand
BY killing for sport the sweet
birds Of our land.

We did not like 1t exactly when
Ferrero, the Italian historian,
after his American visit, said
that rural America is q vast OK
panse OF unbeautiful village COM
munities. But we could not
deny the accusation. OF course
we have, here and there, pictur-
esque clusters Of homes, but take
the average American village
and it is struggling, unkept, dis
ordered not only unbeautiful,
but positively ngly. If there
were any reason why this should
be 50 it would be one thing, but
there is not. Every village can
be beautiful if the people only
have the proper spirit. One
woman with the right spirit ana
the requisite energy and tact
can make the ugliest village
beautiful. Think of what it
would mean to the face Of Amer
lea if one woman in evsry village
would make up her mind that
her village was to be the most
beautiful one in her nighbor-
hood.
We talk much of the ''uplift'
of communities, and we talk on
a large scale. But the only "up-
lift" that amounts to q row of
pins is that which comes with
the effort of some one single in
dividual who is generally wom-
an. Where women are content
with their surrounding it is man
nature to things as they are.
Men derive their aspirations for
better living from women. There
is not a group of men, however
impossible they may seem at
first glance, who can remain in
different where a woman or a
group of woman are determined
upon having as much order and
beauty as they can have within
their scope of possibility. No man
can withstand when she really
sets out to influence him. If our
village women would only real
ize this fact, awaken their latent
qualities, and use the influence
that God has given them to make
their spots on the earth as beau
tiful as possiblei America would
in a very short time not be accused
of having "a vast expanss of un-
beautiful village communities"
The opportunities for the woman
with time on her hands are uli-
united in this work.

ELKS OPENING
FOR MEMBERS
THE PUBLIC RECEPTION WILL
BE HELD IN OCTOBER OR
FIRST OF NOVEMBER.
The Beautiful Home and Its Furnish
ings Are Said to Be as Fine as Any
in the Entire South and Better Than
Any in State.

The finishing touches have been
put on the handsome home of the local
lodge of Elks and the members will
gather there Tuesday night for a fam
lily opening-that is, only members of
the order will be present, but the lat
ter part of October or the first of
November public reception will be
held at which invitations will be sent
to the hundreds of friends of this pop
ular order that they may all view this
beautiful place.
That the Elks never do things by
halves is demonstrated in their build
ing and furnishings. Everything is the
very latest and best and the home will
compare favorably with that of any
other Southern lodge. AS charitable
order the Elks stand preeminent. 1t
is not of the boasting kind, but makes
many heart glad in the course of a
year, always remembering the needy
and the poor children whose only
Santa Claus is the Elks.

HOKE SMITH and
SEN. LA FOLLETE
LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL STAND
TOGETHER ON VARIOUS les
TIONS IN THE SENATE.

Atlanta, July 29.-The idea that
LaFollette and Hoke Smith will be
powerfully allied working together for
certain measures and principals advo.
Gated alike by the progressive demo-
Gratis and insurgent republicans is
strengthened here by the reported in
terView in which Senator LaFollette
commends Governor Smith for his
course in not letting him be forced to
Washington at this moment when he
was not needed.
The fact that there is no question
involved of Hoke Smith or any other
democrat going over to republican
principles, but rather of the republi-
can insurgents lending their aid to
measures which are founded on demo-
cratic principles, causes Georgia DEM
ocrats to view as most fortunate that
probability LaFollette and Smith
will begin their personal acquaintance
ship at Washington under such friend
ly auspices.
The two men have known and ad-
mired each other for years.

AN INTERESTING LAW SUIT,
Another Tack Taken in the TatnaII
Litigation.

In superior court yesterday Harry
Tattnal, wealthy and well-known ne
gro, filed a petition for an Injunction
and receiver against Georgia Gibbs,
formerly Georgia Tattnall and also
named his wife, Matilda J. Tattnall,
as party to a scheme to defeat his
rights in certain property in which
he is interested Tattnall charges that
after the litigation which has been
pending in the courts here for several
years was wound up he placed the
collection of the rents from his prop
erty with Georgia Gibbs; that she
has collected these rents and instead
of dividing the same equally among
the owners he charges that she has
been dividing the same with Matilda
Tattnall, from whom he is now part
ed.
He asks that the property be par
titioned. Judge Conyers, on applica-
ton of Tattnall, appointed H. F. du
Bignon receiver and he will at once
take charge of the property and col
lect all rents. Georgia Gibbs and Ma
tilda Tattnall are enjoined from in
terferring with the property or col
lecting any of the rents.
The case is set for hearing at cham
bers September 9. Judge Max Isaac
represents Harry Tattnall.

Th1s was a regular proceeding con-
Quoted in a legitimate and orderly
manner and nothing unusual for the
comptroller's office These questions
are constantly arising between other
localities and the railroads. There
seems to be disposition on the part
OF certain citizens of this community
to ding dong" the railroad about it..
Won't these citizens hesitate long
enough to remember that it is not al
ways polite or advisable or to say
the least of it, diplomatic to maintain
such an attitude towards a railroad
which has certainly done much for
brunswick, has laid out vast sums of
money to improve her beautiful and
magnificent harbor and is doing as
much if not more to advertise her re-
sources at home and abroad than
any OF our other railroads. Let's give
the A, B. & A. her due. Let's let
up on her and remember that friend
in time of need is a friend indeed
and that we are considerably indebt-
ed to these people for much of the
progress our little city has made in
the last decade. Yours for

New and up-to-date furniture will

On several occasions lately, espe-

the seating capacity of the waiting

the fact that this great inconvenience
is to be remedied will cause general

WILL CONSIDER
FUTURE BASEBALL
MEETING CALLED FOR TOMOR-
ROW NIGHT-ATTEND OF
LOCAL FANS REQUESTED.

A meeting will be held tomorrow
night at 8 O'Clock at the city hall to
consider the future of baseball for the
year 1911 in Brunswick. Manager
Faber of the local team, stated last
night that he desires a full attendance
OF LOCAL fans because upon the result
OF this meeting, as stated above,
hinges whether the strong semi-pro
team which has been gotten together
at some expense, is disbanded or not.
Expressions will We asked of those
who attend regarding their sentiments
IN the matter. 1t is to be left entirely
with those interested whether the
team shall be kept in the field or
disbanded. If the team remains here
a good schedule will be arranged with
such teams as Statesboro, Americus,
Triton and such other teams as are
in the class of the locals.
Mr.. Faber has gone to considerable
expense and it is but natural that he
ask those who are willing to come
Forward and give him helping hand.
But 1t will be left entirely with the
local fans as to the disposition of the
team, and The News hopes for the
benefit and welfare Of Brunswick, for
1t is matter of civic pride, that there
Will be good attendance and that
the team will be kept together for the
balance of the season.
Furthermore, Manager Faber states
II the team remains. that at the end
of the season he will issue challenge
statewide to semi-professional and
amateur teams for the championship
OF Georgia which in itself would be
an advertisement for Brunswick that

FEE SYSTEM IN

islature putting the officers of the city
court of Brunswick, with the eXcep-
tion of the judge on the fee system.
The bill in question was drawn at
the instance of the county commit
sioners and The News is advised that
it has passed the house and is now
pending in the senate. Under the old
fee system, it will be recalled that
much complaint was made in the old
days and very often, it was charged
that unnecessary prosecutions were.
made in the city court. So general
was the complaint against the law
that a few years ago special legisla-
tion was had placing all of the cffi-
GERS of the county on fees, the fines,
ETC., going into the funds of the ccun-
ty. E7$
The commissioners, however, be-
lieving that the county might save
a few dollars on the iubject have
asked the representative from Glynn
county to amend the present law and
80 back to the old system. All over
Georgia today there is a movement to
do away with the fee system and ap-
pay all officers salaries and it is rath-
er strange that Glynn county should
come to the front with a bill to-
broaden the fee idea.
The bill in question is now pending
in the state senate and unless there
are some objections filed with Hon.
w w. King, senator from this dis
trict, it will become law.
The News last night questioned one
or two of the present city court Off
cials and all of them expressed them
selves as being satisfied with the
present law on the subject.
