VAR ON PAINT AND POWDER
NOT POPULAR IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 9.-The nation
wide war on paint and powder, which
is particularly directed against their
use by school girls, apparently is max
ing little Roadway in Atlanta, accord
ing to the reports of teachers and
mothers.
druggists declare that fully ninety
percent of the women of Atlanta he
tween the ages of sixteen and seven
ty-nVe years use face powder, and that
probably more than fifty per-cent nae
rogue or something like it, though
sparingly.
Rather hard to answer is the argu-
ment with which some of the high
schol girls have replied to the attacks
on paint and powder. They assert that
their mothers who have been using
cosmetics for a quarter of a century
baeV better compilations TODAY than
other women who boast of the fact
that they never use the "vile comnlex-
ION lotions" They also declare that
city girls who lay on powder and paint
with reckless abandon have better
compilations, in real life if not in ro-
nance, than the country girls who
never use skin beautifiers.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poIsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well. eat well, digest well, work
we'll, sleep well, look we'll. What
glorious condition to attain. and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
a6opt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dLll and heavy when they arise, split
ing headache, stuffy from cold foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
cen instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
SPELLS, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is suf-
fcent to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject of internal san
itation. advt.

This week we have been standing
exams. Everybody was saying that
they were not going to pass, but lots
OF them were surely surprised to find
the had.
We have been learning some new
Christmas carols, and Friday afternoon
before Christmas we are going up
town and sing carols. We are trying
to get community Christmas tree
and have offerings for the poor on it.
We have had some sure enough art
work this week. We are making post
cards for Christmas and New Year,
and they are real pretty. The seventh
grade girls have finished nearly all
the Pillow tops and they are hanging
down stairs in the hall Come out to
see them.
wednesday we made some very at
tractive cheese apples Miss Mexican
taught us how. After we made them
We painted them with fruit color and
put Glove in one side, a tea leaf in
the other.
Friday was field day at the High
school and the Grammar school sent
over a few contestants also. The boys
raced and jumped to see who could
run the fastest and jump the farthest.
The following boys went ever to the
High school Friday to be in the con-
test: Eugene Harvey, II; Robert
Bell, James Hines and William Fetner,
II; John Bahnsen, FELTON, Jones,
Otha Carey and Dudley Witt, 6-1. We
know they won't take a very high
stand but maybe they will later on.
The fifth grades have lost five chill
dren from their roll during the last
week. Marvin and Luther Tison have
moved to Albany and Clara Willis and
Catharine CantrelI have gone to Flor
ida to live. Rachel Beard and MARCIA
Beard. from the seventh grade l, will
be in Virginia until after Christmas.

HIGH SCHOOL.
(By Frances MeMath.)

The past week was monthly exam
nation week, so we didn't enjoy the
regular school part of it as well as
we usually do. But there were sew,
cral things, apart from the ordinary
school routine, that we did enjoy very
much.
Last Thursday morning, DR.. Allen
Fort, of Nashville, Tenn visited the
! school. Dr. Fort was once a student
OF the Americas school, graduating in
1898. To greet school mate, Mrs.
Daisy Gnosspelius, Miss Mary Daven-
port and Mr.. Walter Page came to
school also. They are the only three
living in Americas who graduated
with DR.. Fort in 1898.
The message DR.. Fort brought to
us was full of advice and inspiration.
The theme of his talk was BE a
possumist." (This was a new word
to most of US. 1t comes from the
Latin word possum, meaning l CAM
Ii we are possumists, if we have de-
termination and strong will-power,
we will always succeed. The illustra-
tons DR.. Fort used were very clear
and forceful
Faculty and pupils join to thank
Dr. Fort for his kindly word of advice
and inspiration. 1t is a beautiful
message that we will not soon forget
but will remember it; and it will
help us to decide to make a success
of life and to determine to keep true
to our decision.
The greatest interest was taken in
the field day contests on Friday. The
Atlanta Constitution offered a silver
pin to any boy of the ninth, tenth or
eleventh grade who could chin a pole
nine times, run 220 yards in 2S sec
onds and jump it. in. high; to any
boy in the eighth grade who could
chin a pole six times, run leo yards in
Ia seconds and broad jump feet, four
inches.
A pin was also offered to the girls.
To every girl from the ninth, tenth or
eleventh grade who could throw a
basket ball 48 feet, run the Indian
club race in 80 seconds and make 100
points in bean bag target toss in 2
to the eighth grade girl who
could throw basket ball 40 feet, run
the potato race in 40 seconds and bal
ance the bean bag on their head. Alma
Webb was the only girl that won the
pin. The boys who won were: An
drews. Green, Morgan, Thomas, Nc
ellis, Smith, Rodgers, Courtney,
Turpin, Parker, Denham, Eason, Ever
