PEACHES IN CAR LOTS
NOW GOING TO NORTH
Several Carloads Forwarded
Already

While Americas growers will ship
very few, if any, peaches in carload
lots this season, preferring express
shipments or sales to the canneries
here instead, the orchards about Fort
Valley and Marshallville are begin
ming to supply their quota in car lots
and few have been shipped already.
Owing to the unusual nature of the
season the general rush of peaches
from Georgia will begin about ten
days earlier than last, and the ma
jority of the crop, it is estimated, will
be out of the state by July 9Th, and
landed in the markets North.
An intermittent movement of peaches
in lots of one and two car loads
has started, and the rush season, with
train after train, made up solidly OF
cars loaded with the fruit, will start
June ) or 6. Two cars went through
Sunday on their way North, one from
lMarshallville and from Fort Valley
The officials of the freight depart
ments of the local roads have made due
preparation for the start of the move
ment and while the rush is on Macol

handled throug hher terminals.

The chief argument of the anti-suf-
fragfsts against the emancipation OF
women is that if you give women the
right to vote, you will break up the
home, do irreparable injury to the
sacred matrimonial institution, foment
quarrels between husbands and wives
and dull all the finest feelings of wo-
men.
Just how the ballot would work
these catastrophies to perform, the
ants prudently leave to the magma
ton, not having any facts to go upon.
In the places where women suffrage
has been tried none of these disasters
has occurred.
Experience shows that the voting
woman marries quite as often, and is
in every way as attractive to men as
her non-voting sisters; also that hus-
bands and wives go amicably to the
polls together, as they do elsewhere
to church, even when they don't be-
long to the same religious faith and
that political discussion In the family
circle does not raise half such a rum
pus as does difference of opinion
on the merit of predestination and in
FAINT baptism if a Presbyterian woman

There are almost as many formulas
printed for shampoo mixture as for
face creams. Some of these are ex-
cellent, and others possess no special
cleansing properties. while some are
positively injurious and should never

formulas selected from a long list, and

our special needs
Three eggs lightly beaten with three
tablespoons of warm water. Rub the
mixture into the hair and on the scalp,
taking pains to cleanse quite as thor
oughly as though you were using a
soap shampoo. More eggs can be used
if necessary, but the proportion Of
water should be a tablespoon to each
egg. If the odor of the egg is I'M
pleasant to YOU. a little toilet water
can be put in a half pint of cold water,
and poured over the hair after the last
rinsing
An egg shampoo with soap jelly is
sometimes more satisfactory than eggs
alone, and the general rule is to use
one teaspoonfull of soap jelly to each
egg, mixing them we'll; then fill a
basin with two quarts of hot water,
hold the head over it and sud the hair
well with the egg mixture, using the
water from the basin to assist in the
cleansing; rinse in several waters and

For blonde hair the following is adj
vised: The white of two eggs, four
ounces of rose water, a half ounce al
cohoI and a level teaspoonful of pow
dered borax Rub into the hair as you
would any other shampoo, cleansing
both hair and scalp, and rinse we'll in

ROMANCE
THE LIFE OF
DANIEL BOONE

One of the earliest of American ro-
mances is written about the character
of Daniel Boone, who foresook the
more quiet and uneventful life of a
North Carolinian in 1857, turned his
back on the civilization of his state
and the quiet confines of his farm and
went in search of adventure in the
Kentucky wilderness. Boone had Al
ready reached the age of thirty-fouT.
He had never cared much for domes-
ITCHY, but instead was a born hunter,
and practically lived in the woods. As
a boy he wandered over the noun
tains of Eastern Pennsylvania, trap
ping and killing game, with which ne
supplied food for his family and as
sisted in their support by sending the
hides to Philadelphia for sale.
Before he was fully grown the fam

from hunting wild game, there re

hawk against the Cherokees, who fire.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY TALK
BY MADAME HELIE

full of baking soda and a generous pint
of hot water. Let stand till cold when
it will be a soft Jelly. Wet the hair
first with warm water, and shampoo
with the jelly.
For very oily, dirty hair, take a
tablespoon of green soap and dissolve
it in one pint of hot water by. constant
stirring. Add half ounce of glycer-
inc and an ounce of alcohol. This is
excellent where there is thick dandruft
as it is very cleansing to the scalp.
White hair is asid to be greatly ben
efttted by shampoo composed of a
small cup of shaved white soap in one
and half pints OF boiling water, and
when dissolved add a half pint bay
rum, teaspoonful powdered borax
and twenty grains bisulphate of quin-
inc. Keep in a glass jar. A few drops
of laundry bluing in the last rinse
water will help to prevent the yellow
streaks which spoil mahy an other
wise snowy Grown of glory"
No matter which shampoo mixture
you select, remember that the secret
of successful shampooing consists of
thoroughness in the washing and in
the rinsing also. Three times for the
sudsing are none too many and the
last rinsing should be very complete.
If the washing and rinsing are prop
erly done, the hair will be soft, glossy,
and full of life, and will be easily and
quickly dried. Carlessness in the
cleansing process is responsible when
the hair is sticky, hard to dry and hard
to comb
Artificial heat should not be used to
dry the hair. Sunshine and fresh air
are best and the hair will retain its
health and vitality much longer If
dried in the sun. A few moments
brisk brushing is good, but the hair
should never be pulled or the scalp ir-
ritated.

Christmas Flashlight

It was on a late October afternoon
that he FIRST drifted into the settle

that usually seeks out such place.
There was nothing foreign about him
nothing suggestive Of the immigrant.
His silvery white hair was brushed
back from face Of distinctive refine
ment, which even the marks of dis
sipation could not hide. He looked
exceedingly frail, possibly tubercular.
He was selling ink and blotters. and.
receiving a bit Of financial encourage.

woman on duty that morning, he call

In tho course of his visits Miss New

seeing, gradually pieced together his
reluctant story. He had come from a
good old Massachusetts family, was
educated at one Of the eastern univer-
stiles and had been an official in big
eastern bank. But the drink habit had
fastened itself upon him.
He had married, but his wife had
deserted him after two years. She
was long since dead, as were all Of his
immediate family. He had gone
through the indescribable. experience
that the man who is down and on,
sometimes suffers, though not always,
thank God! It was almost twenty
years ago that he had left the east. .
