Protecting Georgia's Hog Industry

Of farmers who have obtained and used

secured serum and inoculated seventy

rest all recovered. II the hogs had been
inoculated in the beginning the chances
are that all ninety would have been
saved. This same gentleman bought n
number of hogs and brought them to
his farm later and failed to immunize
them and lost them all. Surely this is
suffclent evidence to establish the.
merit or the serum when properly used.
Another gentleman writes that he
lost forty hogs from cholera in thirty
days. He inoculated 80 later OF which
two were sick. ami thirty got well. An
other gentleman treated a bunch of
hogs and they are still free from ehol-
era, though the disease is raging in
his vicinity. Another farmer used Sc
rum on nifty head. and they did nicely
Still another farmer who had forty

then secured serum and inoculated the

WEST HAMMOND.

If you ever saw South American
condor on his native heath fight an
other for a piece of putrid flesh you
may have some idea of the persist
ency with which the lecherous re.
sort-keepers of West Hammond fight
reform.
Do you suppose they are going to
give up easily after quarter of a
century leeway in vice?
Not so that you can notice 1t.
They will fight to the death.
The forces that are trying to re-
deem West Hammond cannot afford
to be idle a minute. 1t is death
grapple. Every man, woman and
child in West Hammond should jot
it down somewhere that now is the
time to Gust the unspeakable dens
across the state line; to purge the
city of the blight OF Whiskey Row.
If the reform forces quit now, they
might as well never attempt to try
another battle against inquiry.
In the tuneful opera Wang" sang
over decade ago there was a bit OF
philosophy that West Hammond
ought to think over.

And what we need is a strong pull

English Jack" is dead.

English jack is dead
And thereby hangs a real romance.
English Jack" known as the Craw-
ford hermit, lived back In the woods
of north Conway, where he had many
visitors and no confidants. and the
story of his life has been revealed
since bis death
He was born in London. where he
was left an orphan when small boy.
He became a street urchin, living on
the town. One day while wandering
about he encountered n little maid of
five years who had lost her father.
He helped the girl TO find her home,
and that day was a red letter day for
him. Mary's father. named Simmonds.
adopted Jack. and from that time he
had home
Simmonds was a ship master and
found a place for Jack on board his
ship. At the close of each voyage he
made his home with Mary and her
father
1t was natural that he and Mary
should grow to love each other, and 1t
was agreed previous to his last voyage
that the two should marry on his re-
turn
But, alas!
He was gone a little more than a
year, and on his return when he went
to the school where he had placed her

His heart was broken.
Turning his back upon the world, he
spent the remaining thirty six years OF
his life in aimless, hopeless solitude

DRUG FIENDs UNAwAREs.

Few men who use tobacco realize
that they are in the grasp of habit
which is almost as hard to discon-
tinue as the use OF opium or NOR
phine. Tobacco, of course. is in no
manner as deadly to health and
moral fibre as powerful narcotics or
stimulants, but it is just as tenacious.
Smokers seldom break eff the use of
tobacco. A man says he will stop us
ing cigarettes. which usually means
that he will stop buying them and de-
pend on his friends to supply him.
Chewing gum or peppermint drops
often suggested as an aid to the will
are of little comfort. The odor of a
good cigar will make any man with
out an iron will forget his determine
ton to quit smoking. Fortunately
the habit is not nearly as detrimental
as many women suggest.
Said a German comedian, "Ciga-
rettes are very bad"
Il don't know" a friend replied.
MY grandfather is ninety years old.
He smoked them since he was seven.

DOWN WITH FARM DRUDGERY

Years ago when prices were low it
was often necessary for the farmer
and all his family to work early and
late to make a living and pay the
mortgage. But with better farming
methods and increasing prices that
necessity is passing says Collier 8
Weekly. The farmer and his family
must be able to earn a good profit on
ten or twelve hours a day The time
has passed when intelligent, ambiti-
Gus people will be content, even un-
der the favorable conditions of the
great outdoors, to labor sixteen or
eighteen hours a day merely to earn
a living. Women are not allowed to
work in stores and factories more
than eight or nine hours; but often
on the farm they work sixteen or
eighteen. The economic condition
that compelled drudgery on the farm
must pass, and then the new farm
management must teach people how
to live on the farm as well as how TO
raise crops.

YESTERDAY.

1t is not far to Yesterday.
And there we turn our eyes
To where the good. glad memories
In pleasing pictures rise.
The faded roses of today
Grow red and rich with dew,
And where gray clouds are spreading
now
We see the skies of blue.
Just down the way is Yesterday
There sunshine always beams;
Today we close our eyes and see
Our Yesterday in dreams;
Today we hear the 1ong-dead song,
And now we understand
Its cadence, and know why 1t made
Our Yesterday all grand.
A little way to Yesterday
Today may have its fears.
Yet Yesterday is filled with smiles.
Tomorrow has its tears
day-tomorrow-Wha OF them,
When we can ind the way
That leads us to the golden land
The land of Yesterday?
1t is not far 10 Yesterday.
With glamour of the rose;
With haunting echo of the song
That thrilled us to the close.
Tomorrow and Today will lose
Their darkness and their gloom,
And each will soon be Yesterday.
With melody and bloom.

HUMANITY.

Efforts to suppress cruelty to
animals seem to indicate that the
various societies in such work are
successful only when they are backed
by law and special officers Their
work is unquestionably good, But the
best they can do is to attend to the

to their attention

THE GARB THEY WEAR.

garb worn by some young women i!
growing stronger and stronger. Press
and pulpit continue to inveigf
against it.
THE woman shall not wear that
which pertaineth to man. nor man
that of woman, for it is an
abominatfon unto the Lord"
Taking the above as his text
Rev. Frank C. Bruner. d. D.. of
Chicago. preached a sermon at the
Ogden Park Methodist Episcopal
Church last night in which he
severely criticised women who as
sumo mannish attire. In course of
his remarks he sought to explain
certain fashions as follows:

the fair sex is spectacular. The
appearance of anyone in male raj
ment attracts attention. Conse-

Partisan dressmakers. Skirt styles
today are going back to the orig
inal fig leaf fashion. Mother Eve
ate the apple, became wise and
her first thought was of a dress,
and that is about all some of her
daughters have thought of since.
All that some women have is their
clothes, and were you to steal them
they would lose the only valuable
thing they possess.
Some women are as long in
dressing Caesar was in mar

church to show their clothes, spend
more money for their backs than
for Bibles and then strut home
like peacocks.
skirts now are smeager as
mummy and locked like horses

owe their domination in time and
eternity to the skirts of some bad
