EVEN IN COLUMBUS, GEORGIA,
SOME LIVE PEOPLE
SURVIVE.

Dear Mr.. Watson: The writer
spent copule Of weeks recently in
Old hauntS down in the Second Con-
gress1onal District, and became in
terested somewhat in the three-cor-
nered race they have on down there
for the uneXpired term of the late
congressman S. A. Roddenbery.
1t is conceded that all three of the
candidates in the race are excellent
gentlemen, each with a strong fol-
lowing, and it is difficult to pick the
winner. l had an opportunity to lis
ten to short speeches by all of them
in the court house at Camilla on last
Monday, and was impressed very
much by the absence Of personalities.
1t must be wonderfully gratifying
to you, and in a measure some COM
pensatiOn for the scars you have &C.
cumulated in the twenty-odd years
hard fight against great odds, to
come now to the declining years of
your life and see the whole country
coming around to an acceptance of
the truth as expounded in the princi-
pies for which you and your follow
ers stood when it meant fighting
through fire and blood
Just think of what the country said
twenty years ago, and what they say

Socialistic and anarchistic The old
parties-and the new-are falling
over themselves in their advocacy of
measures which for radicalism even
exceed the old Populist platform.
The day is coming-and / expect
to live to see it-When Thomas E.
Watson will be acclaimed one of the
greatest constructive geniuses this
nation has ever produced. If he had
never coupled his name and efforts
with anything beyond the Rural Free
Delivery of mails, this alone would
entitle him to the honor of having
contributed the greatest gift of the
century to the civilization of his
country. Because, the Introduction
and expansion of the r. F. d. service
has been directly responsible for the
awakening OF the masses through
reading and reflection under the
leadership of such reformers as Wat
son, resulting in the publication of
politics to a great extent, and arous-
ing a spirit that is going to demand
more and more of efficiency and
economy in public and private affairs.

HEART And HOME PROBLEMS

(By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.)
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
going with a boy for nearly three
years and love him dearly. 1 have
been with no other boys during that
time, as I had no desire to be with
anyone but him. About four months
ago he met a girl and has been going
with her on the sly, thinking 1 knew
nothing about ii.
Cd Do you think he is treating me
mean, as 1 love him dearly?
CD Does he care more for me or
the girl he goes with on the sly?
CD Will you please tell me some
thing to do for perspiring?
BUNNY.
My dear, you are not engaged to
this young man. and he is at perfect
liberty to go with other girls if he
wants to. That's the trouble with
people who just go together" The
girl feels she is bound and the man
knows he is not.
Cd 1 do nc. think the girl is very
kind. She would not like to have you
do that to her. Still. as you are not
engaged to the man, 1 suppose she sees
no particular wrong in it.
N CD l don't know. / do not like a
man who does anything on the sly
unless you have driven him to it by
showing that you are jealous and sus-
picious.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES.

The Dining Room.

Conducted by Mrs. Alice Gitchell Kirk }
The Dining Room.
It's pretty hard to separate the inter-
est in the kitchen and dining room
from each other. While we do Know
that the kitchen is the hub of the
house-the laboratory in which the food
is prepared for tn health of the family
yet the real, final social enjoyment of
this food is in the dining room.
1t is where father, mother, children
and friends come to eat and enjoy their
food, regardless of the fact that Thorn
as A Edison says that I'VE ought not
to enjoy the food we eat any more than
the air we Breathe and that women
should not waste time preparing dain-
ty. appetizing meals for their husbands
and children"
If we are normal we are always ex-
hilarated benefited and conscious at
certain times in breathing fresh air,
and this should be equally true of food
at our regular meal times or when hun
cry, and as long as We have eyes given
us to see (and many of us gifted with
some artistic sense and love of the
beautifully, We shall continue to pre-
pare dainty, appetizing meals but
we are learning fast that food must be
food. No matter how attractive it
looks, if the life and health giving
properties are not there it is most as
suredly a waste of time for the house
keeper. Food cannot be too daintily
prepared or served for our family or
guests in the home.
1 should like to grant three things
for our dining room. First, the most
comforta BILE and hospitable place for
the gathering of the family and
friends; second, the one room in the
house where no troubles of any nature
are unfolded, and the food served to
friend and family shall build for health,
strength. beauty and longecity; third,
and equally as important, the food
should be perfectly served and appeal
to the sense of taste and sight as well.
The location of the dining room in
the home is most important. 1t should
have an eastern exposure if possible,
or one east window at least as morn
ing sunshine in the dining room is the
only sunshine which should penetrate
it during the day, except the sunshine
made by the members of the family,

and this is most essential-not a noisy,
boisterous kind which develops exceed
ingly bad table manners, but the kind
which never tolerates the so-called
Crouch
If this disease is apparent in any one
at the dining table there should be a.
fine so heavy that it would be cheaper
in the end to get rid of it as soon as
possible or dine by themselves
The dining room furnishings should
be studied with great care, as much
depends upon harmonious coloring.
lines and perfect lighting. The wall
covering is very important, as only a
very few if any pictures are in this
room, so greater decoration should be
allowed in papering. Blues are very
good; not too decided, but a general
toning in with wall and rug.
The usual furnishings are a rug upon
which the dining table stands. chairs,
a sideboard and serving table. A
screen is a very desirable piece of fur
niture to shut off a too generous blaze
from the open fire, a draught from an
open window or the entrance to pantry
or kitchen. A cabinet for placing the
choice china or glass adds to the con-
Venience and attractivenesS of the
room. With two or three appropria te
pictures on the wall, dainty, light cur
tains at the windows and the proper
arrangement of the furniture for con-
venlence, this room should be one OF
the most inviting in the house.
If 1 left this dining room without
writing something on the care of IL.
all the thought in furnishing would
amount to little. 1t is the one room at
night which must be left spotless. 1t
is better to keep these windows closed
and then open them the first thing in
the morning for thorough ventilation.
The sideboard is the proper place for
knives, forks, spoons, napkins and ia
blecloths, all in their exact places and
always there. The top of the side
board may be used for serving any cold
food, but the serving table is the place
for hot food and dishes for serving the
same. Then the table is quickly laid.
and if possible fresh flower or plant
should be placed in the center of the
cloth.
In other words, the daintiness of the
table, atmosphere and lighting of the
room do much toward starting the fam
lily out for a happy. successful day. If
any one really doubts it try it for a few
mornings and see.

LIVELY REVOLT AGAINST
AUTHORITY OF HUERTA
Report Says 10000 Men Op-
pose Him

Douglas, Ariz, March 11.-After a
battle lasting from Saturday morning
until yesterday afternoon, 800 So
nora state troops today hold Naco-
zari. The two hundred and fifty HUI
erta soldiers defending the town are
retreating to Aqua Prieta. This news
was received here today, when COM
munication was restored below this
point
The capture of Nacozari opens the
road, it is believed, to Aqua Prieta.
and if the latter town is taken, the
insurgent state troops can march
westward along the border, encoun-
tering only small garrisons at No
gales, Naco and other small towns.
At none of the ports on the Sonora
Arizona border are there more than
300 federal troops. All the Huerta
soldiersi n northern Sonora do not
exceed 1000 men, it was said today
on good authority, while the state
government in its revolt against the
provisional president within a few
days has raised an army of nearly
ten thousand men, according to re-
ports from various state leaders.
At Nacozari are the hundred men
under Project Bracamonte, of Monte
yuma. There are only $50 federal
troops defending Nacozari today and
similarly small garrisons defend
Aqua Prieta, Nogales and Naco. A
strong rebel group from Magdalena
below Nogales, is reported moving to-
ward the border to assist in attackinq
