Another way to mark the length Of

NEED SMALL LAND HOLDERS
Tenancy and isolation Disappear With
Their Attendant Train of So
cial Ailments.

Georgia State Normal College.@
Every agency OF rlsraI betterInent
becomes possilI4 hen instead OF d
small nunber Ian oWners
there Is a large slznhefSof small land
owners, who oe@upy and till the
farms they own. Tenancy and isola-
tion disappear with their attendant
train of social evils. Better farming
follows, along WITH better business
and better living on the farm. The
burdens of taxation are widely distri-
-buted. The few do not feel that their
purses are MIXED by the tax-gatherer
for the benefit Of the many. Commu-
nifty effort is easily centered upon bet
ter roads, better schools and better
churches.
And so, when we are struggling in
cur counties with all our might and
majp for better home and school con-
di2ions, We are saying to the landless
man, with all thy getting get land.
Multiplied home ownership is a bed
rock of safety for home, for conamu-
nifty, and country. 1t is still possible
to get under your own vine and fig
tree. Good land is still cheap in the
south. Do not sin away your day of
economic grace. :
We are saying to the owner Of large
estates, with all thy getting, get at
least the wisdom Of intelligent self
interest. Sell small farms to likely
tenants at reasonable prices. Multi
ply the small farmers of your county
and increase the value Of your remain
ing acres. Put money In your purse
meanwhile, II you will: but consider
the poor and loWly and leave a place
In the earth for them. Farm your own
land. Consider the present, and ap-
parently the permanent, high-prices
of farm products. Invest literally in
the means and agencies of community
progress. The return to you Is In
evitably greater than the outlay.

for pertaining their fine linen. their
gowns and even their hats.
Linen chests were not complete
without their small bags of lavender
laid between the sheets and pads Of
cloths and napery. Chests where all
the lovely handmade lingerie was
kept, where the prospective bride
stored the articles of her trousseau
as they were finished, one by one,
were plentifully supplied with laven.
der blossoms tied UP In neat little
linen bags.
Then, for some reason, the fashion
of pertaining with lavender went out,
and the more pungent and heavier
scents were used. But now, with the
return Of fashions Of other days, the
vogue for lavender is with us again.
Truly fastidious women now have
their clothing laid between pads OF
lavender, and pinned in the front of
their gowns is a small sacllet, covered
with silk or linen embroidered to
match the color ribbon used in the
lingerie.
Twelve inches OF three-inch wide

sewed together on the sewage edge
and fringed out on the ends, then filed
with dried lavender flowers, makes

Embroidered handkerchiefs, folded

Pens for Hogs.

Hogs Of all ages and sizes require
comfortable sleeping places to realize
for their owners full benefit of food
consumed. This applies more espe.
cially to their accommodations from
fail until spring. Stock of all kinds
are more sensitive to cold winds and
wet surroundings than many persons
realize. Make them comfortable, so
they will not pile one on top Of an.
other for warmth. This is unhealthy.
The under ones get sweaty and COM
my in contact with the cool air will
develop pneumonia, which is as fatal
as any disease ever found in a herd
of young pigs. This same condition
and disease occurs to older swine

less of the fashions Of the moment
In Fig. 1 q Rembrandt turban Ia
pictured made Of velvet. Two feath-
ers only (from the pheasant) are used
for trimming. Simplicity and grace
are it's paramount features and they
are most important factors in all good
millinery.
In Fig. a soft hat is Ehown, which is
made of ve1veteen or other substantial
fabrics, has no frame or wires and
belongs to that order af millinery
which is coming to be known as "the
suit case hat. 1t is becoming popular
to make such hats Of the same fabric
as the coat. The hat shown is made
of corduroy, the brim stihened with an
interlining and machine stitched. 1t
is as practical as the good old-fash-
toned sunbonnet and occupies the
same place in the winter wardrobe as
its prototype does In that of summer.
Since women are no longer satisfied
with one or two hats, it would be
wisdom for them to select the smart
stable styles and wear them several
seasons by way of change from their
new hats. For every woman wants q
new hat; it is one of her dependable
inspirations.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
Prominent Doctors Best Prescrtp-
ton Easily Mixed at Home.

This simple and harmless formula
has worked wonders for all who have
tried 1t quickly curing chronic and
acute rheumatism and backaehe. From
your druggist get one ounce OF Toris
compound Tin original sealed package)
and one ounce Of syrup Of sarsaparilla
compound. Take these two ingredients
home and put them In 2 half pint of
good whiskey Shake the bottle and
lake a tablespoonful before each meal
and at bedtime Good results come
after the first few doses. II your drug
gist does not have Toris compound in
stock he will get it for you in few
hours from his wholesale house. Don't
be Influenced to take a patent nedi-
cine instead of this. Insist on having
the genuine Toris compound in the
original, one-ounee, sealed, yellow
package This was published here last
winter and hundreds of the worst cases
were cured by 1t in a short time. Pub
lished by the Globe Pharmaceutical lab

There Is, quite evident an awakening
interest in the matter of millinery
styles with some degree of perman-
ence. At last seasons hat lin the
nomenclature of the millinery trade)
Is the "deadest on earth" But this
Is not altogether true, has not been in
the past and will be less than ever
true in the future. Women who
own fine leghorn and panama
hats are loath to have them rebiocked
or changed in outline. because they
are beautiful in outline and quality
to start with BY way Of variety, they
may be retrimmed from season to sea-
son. Sometimes a hat Is SO good from
an artistic point of view, that worn or
faded trimming is replaced with other
exactly like it, or trimming is selected
with a view to its capacity to stand
cleaning.
Hats modelled on those pictured by
Rembrandt and Gainsborough be-
long to the class which may be said
to be always good style" This does
not mean that they are always fash
ionable, it means that they must be
reckoned with outside. the realm Of
capricious fashions: that women of in
telligeace and fine taste will wear
them at any time they see fit, regard.

RULES OF LONGEVITY.

Several veterans Of note have re-
Gently given advice as to the mode OF
living that insures longevity. Nothing
new has been added to the familiar set
of rules. Simplicity moderation, fresh
air, exercise, healthfui occupation for
body and mind, avoidance of worry
these are the things usually and prop
erly recommended How much sleep
one needs, whether tobacco should be
wholly eschewed, are among the open
questions, bus it is surprising how few
questions are really open in connec-
ton with the subject of longevity. Ac-
cording to recent German statistics,
Europe has about 1000 persons who
have passed the one hundredth year.
They are distributed as follows: Bull
garia, about 1000 centenarians: Rou-
mania, over 1000; Servia, 573: Spain.
40; France, 213; Italy, 1877; England
81; Germany, rs, etc. The meaning of
these figures is clear. The simpler and
more natural the life of a nation the
more centenarians it is likely to have
II is worry. artifciality, excess. con-
gestion and the disease of such con
dition to which the shortening Of life
is to be attributed. We cannot all go
back to nature, we cannot all live on
land and by land; but we can all profit
by the moral Of the figures above CIV
en-, to some extent at any rate. Sim
pier living, hygienic living and the
cultivation of patient and hopeful
spirit are possible to most OF us. The
very poor and submerged present a
problem everywhere, but 1t is true
that worry is more fatal than even eS
IRENE poverty.

Has the old man right to live?'
A medical research society in st,
Louis recently discussed the question.
The principal speaker stated that old
men were being poisoned with a long
administered course of Indifference,
neglect and flial disrespect. He be-
lieyed that the man who does not hon,
or his father and mother cares little
for his moral obligations to them. but
he does fear that some day his friends
willsfind out and that he will be put in
the class in which he belongs. This
man never wishes his friends to know
that the old man who wears shabby
clothes and sleeps in the garnet is his
father. When a man makes debt the
laws OF the land enforce its payment.
But no law makes the man with
money In the bank pay the debt he
owes his old and needy father. The
son should do his duty Willingly, II he
will not, there should be law to com
pei him.
