A British journal recently comment.

grown in China was formerly the most
popular, it now occupies second place,
while Ceylon tea has become the favor.
lite with all classes of people The
question, What has brought about this
change of taste? is not, however, a diff.
ficult one to answer AS a prominent
firm of dealers pointed out, Ceylon tea
hes been literally advertised for some
years, while the Chinese product has
not been advertised at all. The change
noted has been wrought during these
years, and it is therefore reasonable
to conclude that advertising is the prin.
cipal cause thereof. AS result of ad.
yertising the consumption of Ceylon
tea has increased so rapidly that in
many cases China tea has practically
been forced out of the market. Yet the
actual difference in the quality of the
two Is not material.-Profitable Adyer

Description or a House.

This cabin Is IN the woods, several
miles from any other dwellings, and
tho perhaTs not so modern ae some
homes, is cosy and homellke to It's
owner.
1t Is made OF logs hewn from cedar
and tamarack. The cracks between
them are closed up with mud which
Is the only cement known In this wild
place. There are no porcheS; only
the roof which runs out beyond the
end of the house at the back to keep
the rain and snow from the door and
shelter the rick OF wood which has
been pile up there. AT one end of
the wood is stretched a deerhide and
beside the door hangs pair OF snow
shoes.
Inside which seems rather dusky at
hrst, there Is huge stone fireplace.
around which are hung long strings
OF herbs aud roots for the winter
supply of medicine. There Is but one
room. this being large enough for two
ordinary rooms. There Is a window
10 either side and one near the door.
all of which are covered with skins
for glass,
A table stands near the center OF
the room, on which are the remains
of backwoodsman's breakfast. The
table is very rough and also the food
scraps which lie around ON It.
The floor like the rest Is rudely
made Of rough timbers and nu paper
adorns the walls. A pair OF antlers
hangs In the back near the ceiling
and there are skins and coats hung
around the sides OF the room.
There are several sticks OF wood
piled beside the fireplace ready for the
hunter to build fire for dinner when
he returns from his long tramp. THIS
Is typical 5ackwoods scene, tho IL
may not seem real to one who is
nnaccustomed to it.

GOOD ROADS IDEA
GRIPPING PEOPLE
Individual and Private Concerns Doc
nate Money and Services.

State, county and township govern
ments IN The United States spent nearly
$250,000,000 for good roads in 1914
alone. In the past two years the single
state of California has appropriated
$1S000,000 for the improvement of her
highways. All over the country the
good roads movement has gripped the
people-gripped them in a most unset
fish and patriotic way
The unprecedented growth of this
movement within the past few months
is not only encouraging-it is indica-
tive of the foresightedress of the
American public. For the money spent
in betterment of roads will be return
ed a hundred fold. Farmers will be
able to market their produce, cities
will be brought into closer touch, the
country will be united land will in
crease in value, and over every road
will pour a stream of trucks and pleas
ure cars that will surpass the dreams
of the founders of the good roads
movement The coming of good roads
means osperity-enduring prosperity
to all Americans.
So imbued with the good roads spirit
are the people becoming that individ-
uals and private concerns are appro-
priating time and money to the cause.
And possibly one of the greatest con-
tributions in point of actual benefit to
those using the highways, is that of
the .. f. Goodrich Company of Akron,
Ohio.
During the past four years the B. F.
Goodrich Company has maintained
National Touring Bureau which has
marked nearly 10000 miles of the best
roads in America with permanent and
attractive blue and white enamel guide
posts. These markers point the way to
nearest towns and warn of danger
points and are erected by three truck
crews which are maintained during the
greater part of the year. AS a further
service, the Goodrich Touring Bureau
also furnishes motorists with accurate
road logs between all points without
charge or obligation.
Within afew years with such con-
certed and constructive work as this, it
is believed that American roads will
outrival the best that Europe has
boasted. advt

DESIGNER OF CONFEDERATE
FLAG

At the last annual meeting of the
North Carolina Division of the U. D. c.,
there was presentation of flag said
to be older by six months than the one
now claimed as the first Confederate
flag.
The Charlotte Observer gave this
story about it:
F'The Orrfn Randolph Smith flag
was presented. Mrs. Malone, of Louis
burg, did the presenting. She called
attention to the designing of the flag
by Orrin Randolph Smith.
"This was the flag borne by the
Franklin Rifles and copy Of the orig
inal flag, which since the war has been
in the custody of the family of Mrs.
Malone. Not until last summer was

six months older than the one now
claimed as the first Confederate flag

SONG RECITAL

A large and appreciative audience
greeted Miss Hilda Deighton and Miss
Elizabeth Cobb, Wednesday at High
School Auditorium, where music-lov-
ers Of Americus enjoyed their delight
full recital.
Miss Deighton is the possesor of q
contralto voice of wonderful sweet
ness and her recital was a treat to
those who were fortunate enough to
hear her. The Habanera from Carmen
was probably the most popular num-
ber of the program she gave, but it
would be hard to specify one from so
many beautiful numbers. Miss Cobb IS
one of Americus' best known piano
instructors and was as usual an ac-
curate and sympathetic accompanist.
