REST FOR UNCLE SANS BOYS
SHORTER HOURS IN EFFECT AT
THE POST OFFICE TODAY.
Hereafter None of the Force, Includ-
ing the Postmaster, VIII Be On
Duty More Than Eight Hours.

Hereafter None of the Force, Includ-
ing the Postmaster, viii Be On
Duty More Than Eight Hours.
The eight hour law, recently pass
ed by congress, became effective at
the Dawson postoffice today, March
4th, the time specified by the act.
The hours of each employee of the
office are now as follows
Postmaster Lewis reports at Z
a. M; leaves at $50, reports again
at 1870, and is off at p. m. For
the afternoon he reports at $3.50 and
is off at 1880.
Assistant Postmaster Alexander re-
ports at Z a. m. and is off at 1880
a. m. He reports for his afternoon
work at 1 and is off at 4:30.
Clerk r. A. Jolley is on duty the
same hours as the assistant postmas-
ter.
Clerk F. r. Crouch reports at
1890 a. m. and is off at 1 p. M;
reports for the afternoon at 2 and is
off at 6 reports again at Z and is off
at $40.
Each clerk is allowed time off for
Sunday work and extra pay for over
time work in cases of emergency.
This will mean that part of the
day, the greater part, only two clerks
will be on duty at time, and Post
master Lewis is wondering whether
or not he can render the public as
service as it has received
in the past with this restraint on the
working hours of his force without
the employment of an additional
clerk, which has not been provided
for by the postoffice department. The
requirements of the new law are
that each clerk must make his eight
hours time in tour of ten hours
that is, he must complete his eight
hours service in ten hours from the
time he first reports for duty: This
means, with time off for Sunday in
cluded, the reduction of the working
force of the Dawson postoffice from
four men to three, while four men
will be regularly employed.
The same law applies to the city
carriers, but their schedule will not
be changed, because it now complies
with the new law.

SUNDAY TEMPERANCE DAY.
Special Lesson on the Subject in the
Sunday School March 9th.

Sunday School March 9th.
The International Sunday School
Lesson Committee has placed quar-
terly temperance lesson in the sched-
ule of Sunday school lessons. While
many of the lessons contain temper
ance truths that should be taught,
still the quarterly lesson should be
emphasized and prayerfully taught
as a temperance lesson. 1t speaks
we'll for our state that children are
taught in the schools the evil effects
of alcohol, tobacco and other mar
cotics on the human system. 1t is
the privilege of the Sunday school
teacher to follow up this teaching
and to give moral force to it, to en-
phasize Bible temperance truths and
to encourage youth to decide against
that which threatens their welfare
for time and eternity.
Following the instruction of the
international Sunday School Conven-
ton the lesson committee has set
aside the 9th of March as temper
ance Sunday for the first quarter.
The subject is the Destruction of Sod
ON, and the deduction is that God s
anger against the city was brought
about by the riotous, licentious lives
of the inhabitants.
On March 9th Sunday school teach
ers all around the world will unite in
pressing home the truth of the evils
of interperanc. SUPERINTENDENT

HIGH COST OF LOOKING.
One Cause of Dawson Not Being Rep
resented in Washington Today.

A number of patriotic and liberty
loving Dawsonians announced some
time ago that nothing could prevent
their attendance upon the Inaugural
ton of a democratic president today.
But not a Dawson patriot is there.
Their ardor underwent a percepti-
BILE cooling when they learned that
among the preparations that had
been made for their reception were
hotel rooms at $4,000 day and up
wards, windows through which to get
a peep at Woodrow and the process
sion 500 an hour and rough board
seats, many of them being trees, at
$500. They reconsiderd and are
at home leading the simple life and
wrestling with the high cost of living
instead of the high cost of looking.
OF course there is plenty of JEFF
fersonian simplicity in Washington,
but it is of the expensive sort, the
estimated cost of inaugurating the
new president and vice president be-
ing not less than 100000

WO0DMEN UNVEIL MONUMENT
IMPRESSIVE EXERCISES AT MAC
EDONIA CEMETERY SUNDAY.
DIR. ROsenthal, an Eminent Member

Presence of Large Gathering.

Df. hOSentnal, an Eminent MEMBER
of the Order, Delivered Address in
Presence of Large Gathering.
Sunday morning at II O'Clock the
Dawson Camp Woodmen of the
World unveiled with impressive cere-
mony the monument erected by this
fraternal order to the memory of
their late sovereign, James A. Joiner,
in Macedonia cemetery, near Sasser.
The exercises were under the di-
rection of Consul Commander w. ].
Lewis of the Dawson camp, and were
participated in by nearly a hundred
Woodmen from Dawson, Bronwood,
Sasser and Parrot camps. In spite
of the inclement weather there was
large crowd in attendance.
Dirges were played by the Wood
men Band of Brentwood which added
much to the impressiveness Of the
occasion.
DR.. F. L. Rosenthal OF Columbus,
one of the ablest Woodmen in the
state, delivered the address of the
Woodcraft stands for and the mean
ing of real fraternity embodied in
Woodcraft, the obligation of the or
der to its members and its members
to the order, was eloquent and clas-
steal, and an inspiration to his audi
ence.
Master Arthur Lewis recited the
Woodmen poem, why Should the
Spirit of Mortal Be Proud in a man
ner that reflected credit upon him
self and the fraternity.
The Woodmen of the World is one
of the most prosperous fratenal or
ders in this section, as we'll as the
United States, its total membership
aggregating more than 100000 mem
bers, the membership in Terrell coun-
ty alone aggregating about 500. The
emergency fund of this order now
exceeds $4,000, 900, part of which is
invested in state and municipal
bonds, and owns the Dawson school
bonds that were issued several years
ago.

TUBERCULOSIS IN SCHOOL
ROOMS.
" u ;: :: :: u - u 8: - ;: :, - :, II ::

| Ii is only when such startling re-
| ports as the following, from the Mich =
igan state board of health become cur
( rent that the governments. municipal.
state and national, become active in
dealing with these problems,
I'm making a study of the occupa-
tional relation to tuberculosis, one
cannot help being impressed by tie
frequent occurrence of tuberculosis
among school teachers. A careful
study of the following table will give a
very comprehensive idea of the situa-
ton:
over a period of years SPA per cent
of the deaths among school teachers,
between the ages of % and "a, were
due to tuberculosis. while only 25.S
per cent of the deaths among all per
sons in Michigan, between the ages
of % and a. were due TO this disease.
Among school teachers of all ages
only "a per cent were due to this dis
ease.
This is matter which should en-
gage the active attention not only OF
teachers. but Of the patrons of the
lluDl-C StHOOlS. II WOulu appear A4bIl4
our data that the conditions under
which public school teachers labor are
conductive to tuberculosis. This is,
IN a great many instances, an easily
established fact Now, this ought not
to be. The school teachers, who
should be considered as the most val
liable factor in the establishment OF
an efficient citizenship. should not be
required TO work under conditions
which are relatively more conducive
10 the occurrence Of tuberculosis than
other professions.
Extreme precaution should be OBJ
served by school commissioners and
boards of education to prevent teach
ers who are affected with tuberculosis
from continuing in the service. This
should be done in the interest of the
teacher and in the interests of the pu-
pills. The solution OF the situation,
however. should not rest simply with
the attempt to prevent infected teach
