"PRoUO AND GLAD"
Because Mother Looked So Well
After Quitting Coffee.

An Ohio woman was almost dis
tracted with coffee dyspepsia and
heart trouble.
Like thousands OF others, the drug
--cdHeine-in coffee was slowly but
steadily undermining her nervous
system and II terfering with natural
digestion of food. (Tea is just as in
furious as coffee because 1t contains
caffeine, the poisonous drug found in
coffee)

I'd belch up coffee and my heart
would trouble me. 1t was like poison
to me. l was thin-only weighed 125
lbs. when quit coffee and began to

what was making me so leshy and
looking so we'll.
Sometimes, before l could answer
quick enough, one of the children or
nay husband would say, why, that is
what Postum is doing for her'-they
were all so proud and glad.

Although the house here shown is
not large, being % feet wide and 4S
feet, 6 inches long, 1t gives the OBJ
server the impression of largeness.
1t is an excellent type of residence
for a city in which the lots average
so feet, a size that will admit of
room for a lawn and plenty of space
for light and air. A house thus set
out amid pleasant surroundings viii
have all the good points of its de-
sign fully appreciated and displayed
to the best advantage.
The tendency in the city is toward
crowding, on account of the increas-
ing value Of land, of course. This is
to be regretted because when lots
are too narrow houses cannot be
shown to good advantage, no matter
what the excellence and artistic quail
tiles Of their design may be.
Fifty foot lots are large enough to
meet most builders requirements,
but in many cities, as in Chicago, for
instance, the rule is 35 feet. This
disadvantage is often made greater by
the owners insistence on very large
house, or by an arrangement OF the
rooms that requires that the building
be wide
Too often the residence is suited to
the builders demands rather than to
the lot and it's surroundings. Houses
of this sort usually have several dark
rooms and often are not well venti'
lated. In a great many cases they
are not much better than apartments.
or course. this difficulty might be
avoided by making one fairly large
lot of two small ones, but frequently
the builder does not feel that he can
afford a second lot, and he often fur
ther objects to the keeping of a large
lawn. But to the normal man the
lawn is the chief Joy Of the home.
The alternative is usually to adapt
the house to the lot, to sacrifice some
desired feature Of the interior ar.
rangements, or even a room or two,
in order to attain the really essen
tial light and air

the law have leagued themselves with the most anti

up a veritable partnership between crime and police

The trail has been scented and as il is followed

CROPS OR MOSQUITOES

There is land in this county noO soorth too
hundred dollars an acre that ,oas once good for
nothing but frogs and snakes"
This interesting testimony to the value of swamp
drainage comes from Kentucky farmer, recently
quoted in the CourierJournal The witness adds
that in those districts where the property owners
have united on reclamation projects the marshes
have been turned into productive farms and all the
surrounding territory has become healthful pop
uous; but that in those where surveys have been
made and no such work undertaken, the mosquitoes
are still busy pumping blood from the natives the
air is impregnated with malaria and the planters
spending from eight ten dollars in cutva-
tion that promises little reward
What is true of Kentucky is more emphatically
true of Georgia; for this state has larger area Of
swamp and overflow lands than any other common
wealth the Atlantic coast with the single excep-
tion Of Florida; indeed, it comprises about one
seventeenth of the states entire territory
This land is now worthless to its individual own
and it yields practically no tax revenue to the
public treasury.
More than that it is a positive menace to the
health of the adjacent communities.
In behalf of its economic and its social interests,
let Georgia open a way for the drainage of these
swamps BY appropriating the comparatively
small of five thousand dollars year the state
can the priceless aid of the national govern
ment in carrying forward this important work. The
drainage bill, calling for such an appropriation
should be passed.

REJECT BRLSTOW AMENDMENT.

highly interesting and commendable report
has been made to the Legislature by the special
mittee which appointed to study the terms of
the proposed Bristow amendment to the federal con-
stitution.
This amendment, as is commonly known pro-
vides for the popular election Of United States
ators. The resolution to submit it to the states for
their ratification was passed during the present ses
sion of Congress over the strong protest of of
the Southern representatives The latter not
opposed to the principle of the direct election of
senators, but they feared, and with ample reason,
that this particular amendment, because of certain
unnecessary features it contained would jeopardize
the rights of the individual states and especially
jeopardize the protective suffrage laws of the South
states.
1t is well that the General Assembly of Georgia
deferred it's own action on the amendment until the
matter could be thoroughly threshed out by
petent committee; and now that the committee has
reported there is doubt that this states approval
of the proposed change will least be withheld until
the Objectionable features are eliminated.
The committee finds that the amendment
passed by less than the requisite majority of two
thirds of the entire membership Of both houses of
Congress, and that therefore, it has not been sub
mted to the legislatures of the various states in the
manner required by the constitution. Even if this
rregulariy did not exist the palpable of the
Bristow amendment to the rights of the states and
particularly to those of the Southern states would
remain. 1t should, therefore, be rejected by our
own Legislature with an appeal to ali other states
to do likewise
