Rrvon,s Frugal Diet.

Bryon was an exception TO the rule
that authorship and hearty feeding go TO-
gether. For the poet had morbid dread
OF getting stout, and Trelawney has re-
corded OF him that he was the only human
being he had known with selt-restralni
enough not TO grow fat
In 1913, in the exercise Of this self
restraint, he lived on six biscuits a day
and no drink but tea, fasting on occasions
for 4S hours. Three years later ne tired
one thin slice OF bread for breakfast and
a vegetable dinner, and kept down his
hunger in between by chewing tobacco
And though this semi starvation may
have been bad in the long run, visitor
at the time could only observe that no
man had brighter eyes or clearer voice.

MEETING

Council of Safety D. A. r. met
yesterday with Mrs. E. A. Hawkins on
Church street, the meeting being the
last until October. The house was
lovely with garden flowers, roses,
lilies and crepe myrtle, and the meet
ing was a most interesting one. The
presence of two state officers, Mrs. T.
C. Parker and Mrs. Charles c. Holt,
of Macon, was a source of inspiration
and pleasure to the members. Mrs
Parker, state regent, made an eloquent
address to the chapter which was
greatly enjoyed. In the course of her
talk she praised the Americus chapter
for the work it has done, especially in
flags in county schools and impressing g
veneration for the flag upon the
children. After the meeting a delic
ious luncheon was served. There
were present about forty members
and guests.
Americus times-recorder., 1915-06-16

The decorations for the Dixie
Highway Celebration are to be the
best ever placed on the buildings OF
Americus. In all celebrations of this
nature the decorations are a special
feature Of the program. To this end
Mr.. A. Rousseau of the American
Decorating company, has been named
as the official decorator for the oc
casion. over car load Of decorating
materiat flowers for automobiles and
other decorations, will be shipped
here for the work, large part Of
which has already ben received by
freight and express.
The headquarters Of the committees
at the Chamber of Commerce building
has already been decorated in fine
style. On all occasions of this nature
it is customary to get a professional
decorator, who carries a complete
stock of non fading decorations, sun
and rain proof, and who furnishes his
own material and decorates a mer
chants place of business for less than
he can buy the material. After the
celebration is over, he takes down
his decorations and the business mau
is not bothered at all.
The decorations are uniform and
present much prettier background

way Celebration" on this account.
The Elks who went to the Waycross
meeting were astonished at the
beautiful decorations. The Macon
jubilee would have ben dismal
failure but for the handsome decora
tons seen everywhere.
The decoration committee, W. B.
Phillips, chairman; John Flournoy
and Chas. U. Rogers, have been very
lucky in securing a practical deco
rator to come here and do this work in
satisfactory manner.
The greatest problem of the entire
celebration has been overcome. At one
time it was thought by the committee
that it would be impossible to get q
professional man to come here for
one days celebration. Mr.. Rousseau
being at Fitzgerald and very near
Americus, after some trading by the
committee, was induced to come here
and assist us to make a success Of
this great event.
Already a number of merchants
have contracted with him to decorate
their places of business, and it would
be well for those who desire to con
suit him abaout this part of the cele-
bration to call at the Chamber of
Commerce or see Chairman Phillips
at Kress' store.

GREAT WHITE WAY
BENEFIT

Realizing what the Great White
Way" will mean to Americus and what
it will be to our people when erected,
some of the younger set of young
ladies of Americus have arranged to
put on a play for the benefit of "The
Great White Way, the proceeds of
which will furnish the first contribu
ton to this object. NTH Ruth Britton,
who has but recently graduated from
Shorter College will undertake the
management and training of the young
ladies for this event.
The play to be put on will be "The
Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson
Burnett. This is the much beloved
and widely known Sara Crew" story.
The play is little gem and with the
selection of all the young ladies, each
one of which was selected for her
particular part. The cast will include
several young men of Americus.

talents of Miss Britton and she will

living in Stevensville. The
former is a prosperous farmer

After the Austrian-Germans
had won so much of Russian
territory, their defeat in the
naval battle off Riga when three
battle cruisers, one a super
dreadnaught, four transports
and eight torpedo vessels were
lost, is serious setback. 1t is
said this defeat menaces their
farther advance and may mean
that they must retire from Russ
ia. Such is the fortune of war.

John N. Bailey left Roman
Tuesday morning for Mineral
county where he will endeavor
to secure signers to the referen-

home tomorrow. There are
several sections in the state de-

and an effort will be made to
hold the Wells law in allegiance
until such can be done.
One of the features at the
meeting of the state press asso-
citation at Billings this week, is
that an inspection of the Billings
brewery will be made tomorrow
noon, which will include a Dutch
lunch. If the management of
said brewery is onto his job he
will muzzle every mothers son
