The temperance sentiment is
growing.
The saloon is dying hard, but it
must go.
The saloons must have boys, new
hovs. each year. Do you want it to
have your boy? If not, what are
YOU doing to prevent it?
Ben-hadad lost his battles and
kingdom because he and his army
were drunk. Belshazzar lost his
kingdom because he was drunk.
Strong drink and strong manhood

Each drink of Intoxicating liquor
helps destroy the drinkers ehclency'
During the last quarter of cent
ury the drinkers and makers OF in
toxicating liquors in the United
States have been minifying the pow

They are now awaking to find them
selves confronted by well nigh in

many surprises and they must meet
more of the same sort in the near
future. They do not know how to

Now who is responsible for the
existence of the saloon? The follow

least. During a Methodist annual
conference as a preacher was making
his report he said. Bishop, we nave
four saloons in our charge. " The
bishop interrupted him by saying:
''Who has them, the church," With
out a moments hesitation the
preacher replied: eyes, Bishop; for
when the members of the church say
the saloon must go it will go"

DRYING SWEET POTATOES

in the ground or banked in potato
beds so that they can be had prac-

method of shipping them in large
quantities has yet been found.
1t looks, however, as if the prob

drying of sweet potatoes, which is
now being practiced up in Haber-

Up at Mt. Airy, Habersham coun-

for drying sweet potatoes. The po-
atoes are boiled in large vessels,
being well covered with water, until
they are a little more than half cook

and peeled. The potato is then cut
INTO slices lengthwise about one
fourth of an inch in thickness, and
these slices are placed on clean

GREEN CORN ETIQUETTE.
A Few Suggestions for the Benefit of
Green Corn Eaters.

People with false teeth should
pare the corn off the cob with a
knife and eat it with a spoon, es-
pecially when out in company.
In eating corn from the cob it IS
proper to begin at the left end of
the cob and eat to the right. Some
prefer to eat around the cob, turn
ing the same during the process, so
as to keep the butter from dripping,
but the proper way is to eat it long;-
tudinally, from one end to the other.
This makes a cleaner job of it.
Many persons effect the mouth Or
gan style of eating corn, saving it
backward and foreward across the
countenance rapidly, but this is
burgeois habit which covers per
sons map with butter and scatters
corn to the various corners of the
room. @- .'*
Great care should be taken to
keep the corn out of the hair and
ears, particularly if you are dining
out in company. OF course, if you
are eating alone or in a restaurant
you may go as far as you like. In
other words, you may chew to the
line and let the corn fall where it
will. The main object should be to
set at least per cent of the corn
into your system and not more than
95 per cent of it on the. tablecloth
and the floor
~ The whole ear of corn should not
be buttered at one time for this is a
waste Of raw material. Nothing is
swifter or more elusive than q piece
of butter which has been placed on
an ear of corn. A person is apt to
miss it suddenly and lind 1t a few
minutes afterward in his vest pocket
or or the inside Of his shoe. 1t Is
better to butter one mouthful Of corn
at a time and then grab 1t suddenly.
