The docket is being Gapidly cleared
up and court will be held today, con-
yening this morning at o'clock The
grand jury will make it's final report

On the civil docket, the case of Car

cultural population to that point which
We believe we are entitled to reach.
We have decided. therefore, that in
order to bring abou; the settlement
or idle lands in Georgia We must
use the argument that heretofore has
not failed TO bring about the develop
ment OF unusad lands wherever it has
been used. This argument is, the
adaptability OF these lands to the sue
cessful livestock ra..:ng as the funda-
mental basis for diversified farming.
As far as Georgia is concerned, this
is a question which does not longer
admit of discussion"
Mr.. Motto sights as illustrative of
the quick response to public appre
citation and cooperation in live stock
promotion, the fact that two years
ago there were only six pure bred
shOrthorn cattle along the lines of the
Central Of Georgia railway, whereas
today largely through eae work of Mr..
J. F. Jackson. agricultural agent of
the Central of Georgia railway, under
the direction of President William A.
Winburn, there are over six hundred
head OF purebred cattle in the same
territory.
Mr.. Motto sights another illustra-
ton Of the advertising value of con-
ferences of this character. He has
just been advised by the Chicago Of
flee Of the Southern Settlement &c
Development organization that one of
the leading Western Livestock Jour
mails has rendered full page of an
early issue to lie devoted to live
stock industry of Georgia. and es-
pecially of the territory surrounding
Moultrie, Ga. This offer was suggest
ed solely by tie announcement of the
Moultrie conference on June 9th and
2Sth.
A number of prominent men who
will lead the discussions on the vari-
Gus practical topics to be taken up
at this conference have already ac-
cepted. Invitations and programs are
now being prepared and will be ready
for distribution within the next few
days.

Recognized Authority on Riding Clothes and III
Smart Points in Horsewomanship.

ITO look well in the saddle woman must be cor
rectly and smartly turned out" Absolute plain
ness and everything in keeping the principles
30 be followed. The more mannish ones costume can
De made the better.
For the side Saddle the habit must be well cut,
well made and of good material The length and
style Of the coat should be adapted to the wearers
height and figure. The skirt should always be Of the
safety type. There several different designs OF
safety" skirts but they may be divided into three
casses-the apron skirt the half apron and the skirt
with patent fasteners.
With the apron skirt the rider must. of course,
wear boots and breeches The skirt is entirely cut
away the side next to the horse that when the
rider is mounted her legs in direct contact with
the saddle. The skirt is fastened along the right leg
above the knee with buttons and has strap which
passes under the right knee. There is also strap
which passes under the right foot and another strap
which passes under the left heel and holds the skirt
in place.
Personally do not approve of riding astrde and
believe and sincerely hope that is but passing fad
Except under peculiar conditions, most women ride
best and look best in the side saddle.
In the first place. the average woman is not built
for cross-saddle riding her legs from the knee up
too short; her thighs too thick: her hips too big
and she is cushioned too high to enable her to keep
close down with the required rmness on the saddle
The sidesadde insures stronger seat for her, espe
cially in all of pitching forward as for instance
with stumbling horse or on landing after Jump.
The old dangers Of the sidesaddle are done away

SAYS We BECOME
CRANKS ON HOT
WATER DRINKING
HOPES EVERY MAN AND WOMAN
ADOPTS THIS SPLENDID
MORNING HABIT.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous. respondent, wor-
ried; some days headachy, dull and un-
strung: some days really incapacitated
by illness.
If we all would practice inside bath
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The reason
is that the human system does not rid
itself each day of all the waste which
it accumulates under our present mode
of living. For every ounce of food and
drink taken into the system nearly an
ounce of waste material must be carried
out, else it ferments and forms pto-
maine-like poisonS which are absorbed
into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and hot,
so we must each morning clear the in
side organs of the previous days accu-
mutation of indigeStible waste and body
toxins. Men and women, whether sick
or we'll, are advised to drink each morn
ing, before breakfast. a glass Of real
hot water with j ~teaspoonfuf OF lime
stone phosphate in it, as a harmless
means of washing out of the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels the ~indigest-
ible material, waste, sour bile and tox-
ms; thus cleansing, s~weetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks. acid
stomach. nervous days and sieepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but is suf-
fcient to demonstrate to anyone its
cleansing. sweetening and f~reshening
effect upon the system.
