WILL DEVELOP CHILD MIND
otner Reasons for School Gardens
Than Simple Idea Of Creating
Spots Of Beauty.

4 was Sam Jones who said he didn't
care much for theology and botany,
out that he believed in religion and
ioved flowers. This was getting back

way And If the children Of Wash
lngton can touch first principles by
means of school gardens, they will
nave acquired kind Of knowledge
tnat all the text books in the world
could not impart.
Already the teachers of the district
schools are preparing to repeat the
experiences of previous years by hav-
ing the pupils cultivate individual gar
den plots, in which will be grown the
vegetables and other sass" indigen-
Gus to this region. Little spaces will
be wrested from back yards and the
edges of the walks around the home
and converted into squares and rect
angles of utility and beauty. The
growth Of the tender plants will merge
with the development of the child
mind. A deeper interest in the Won
ders OF nature will be stimulated. The
sense of being engaged in something
which furnishes rs own daily proof
of usefulness will make the little ones
feel that they are an essential part
of the general scheme. The lessons
of life will find Judgment in manifold
ways.
Theory and practise go together,
and each is necessary to the other.
The Squeersian system was not with

sized the concrete at the expense OF

ence of teachers in the past that the
dull pupil often finds in such pursuits
as these the link that binds his mat
tentive mind to his books. At last he
is able to understand the reason why.
Calyx, stamen, pistil, corolla, all mean
ingless words before, become vital and
significant He finds that books tell
about plants, and in the plants learns
things that send him to his books
again.

RATHER DEAD
THAN ALIVE
Deplorable Condition Of Lumpkin
Lady Whose Troubles Multiplied
Until Life Became Almost
Unbearable

Lumpkin, Ga.-Mrs G. W. Booth,
of this place, says: Il suffered with
dumb chills and fever and was very
irregular. Was also nervous and
weak, short of breath, couldn't do my
homework without it being a burden,
and then began suffering untold mis-
cry in my left side and back l got to
where would rather have been dead
than alive.
tried many remedies, but they
failed to help me-
Finally, purchased two bottles of
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and began
taking it according to directions.
Cardui helped me right away. / be-
lieve it saved my life.
l cannot praise Cardui enough to
my lady friends. 1t is certainly the
medicine for suffering women and
girls"
If you have any Of the ailments SO
common to women, or if you feel the
need Of a good, strengthening tonic,
we urge you to give Cardui trial It
has helped thousands of women in its
past so years of success, as is proven
by the numerous enthusiastic letters
of gratitude, similar to the above,
which come to US every day,
Don't delay. This letter from Mrs.
Booth should convince you that Cardui
is worth trial Get bottle from
your druggist today. You'll never re-
greet it.-Adv.

Theatrical Maanate Evidently Cared
More for Effect Than for Accuracy
Of Production.


The production Of great dramas was
his business. His great talent was
success, and his weakness was that
he always liked to show on when he
was rehearsing a play He was
In the habit OF sitting far back IN
the darkened theater, and whenever
a stranger came in to see the re-
hearsal work he put himself In the
foreground by jumping to his feet
and bawling out the actors and act
resses. When he was putting on q
big production Of 1.-THE Holy CITY,
three friends Of his entered the the
ater one afternoon to see the dress
rehearsal. AS soon as they had sat
down the producer began to fdget
in his seat He was consumed by the
old fever for prominence. He want
ed the visitors to see that he was the
boss of everything There were IL
men on the stage, which was unusual
" large. Who are those men on
the stage?" he called out to his stage
manager in thunderous voice.
That's one of the big scenes Of the
play" the manager said humbly
Those men are the 70 disciples
"Oh, well" shouted the impresario
imperiously, go out and get IL more
That's big stage, and we want to

Bio Bond Issue Halted

Atlanta-The hearing of a suit to
declare void the order of the Georgia
railroad commission allowing the
s57,000,OO0 merger OF the Georgia
Railway and Power company on the
ground that the authorization of the
stock and bond issues was procured
by fraud and Misrepresentation was
commenced before Judge John T..
Pendleton in superior court The
$27,000,00O capital stock author
lied by the commission in 1912 has
been issued, but the $30,00O,00O bond
issue, altogether created by the com
mission, has not been sold. Drexel
& Co., of Philadelphia, have arranged
with the power company to handle
the bonds, provided the form of the
commissions order is changed A
hearing to secure the changs has been
in progress for two days and it was
stopped by temporary restraining
order issued by Judge Pendleton, and
now the matter will be fought out
in the courts. When Judge Pendle-
ton began the hearing on the petition
for an injunction he said that the
only feature which he would give
consideration was whether a restrain
ing order should be issued until just
such time as the suit in the superior
court has been heard The court suit
is directed against the Georgia Rail-
way and Power company, the Union
Trust company, Of Toronto, Canada,
and H. M. Atkinson and Preston S.
Arkwright, individuals, who are al
legged to have been given $1,500,000
worth of stock each without any con-
sideration.

Law condoned Negligence.

In Kelsey VS.. Rebuzzini, in the SUI
preme court of errors of Connecticut,
it appeared that defendant, after no
tice that division wire fence between
his lot and lot where plaintiff pas.
tured his cattle was broken, took no
steps to repair it and the following
day plaintiffs heifers passed through
the broken fence and reached lot
lying south of both of such lots and
there cropped grass which had been
poisoned in the mixing of spray for
potato vines, in consequence of which
part Of them died. Defendant did not
know that the potatoes had been
sprayed, or that any poison had been
spilled on the grass and could not
have anticipated that some person
might have scattered poison about the
grass there. 1t was held, assuming de-
PENDANTS negligence, that it was not
the proximate cause of injury.

Sentiment is strilkingly combined

Rettsr soldier Than statesman.

Better Soldier Z nan statesman
One hundred years ago on the forty
fifth anniversary of his birth, Lord
Wellington was rewarded with the
title Of Duke in recognition Of his
successes in the Peninsula campaign
against the French. At the same time
the House of Commons voted $4,000
900 for the support of his new dignity.
Within a little more than year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and to be
made the commander-in-chief of the
British forces. Later in life the Duke
of Wellington became British prime
minister, but the strong personal quail
tiles that had helped him to success
as soldier were not the qualities that
best befitted for the premiership, and
the career Of the duke as a statesman
added little to his fame.
