CONCERNING OUR sHUT-IN.

Dear Household: For quite a Wnle l
have looked forward to the Household
each week. and now ask to be admitted
TO the dear old page long enough to tell
you of a poor invalid. / ask each one
of YOU who read this to please write her
a letter and send her something TO help
her along. The lady ] speak of is MISS
Jernima NJ. Jackson. Of Ackerville, Ala.
She and her sister live together, and her
sister is i'm poor health, hardly able to
care for her own self. Miss Jackson has
been in bed for thirty-three years. she
IS sixty-two years old. and she says she
does not complain, for she feels that
the Lord knows what is best for her.
But she says every letter brings sun
shine into her room.
Dear friends. most of us are poor, but
there is something we all can do. IL
takes experience to know what happi-
ness one little letter can bring into a
lonely shut-in's life. When the word is
given, mo letter, no mail today, dear, "
the sick one will give a long sigh and
say. II wish I could have one letter or
"A paper. The day is so long and lonely"
know whereof I speak, for many times
have spent a happy day with Just one
letter. This is one place where we all
can help. If we have the writing ma
terial and can't write, we can pass IL on
to some poor invalid. If we have books
or papers and stamps, there are many
who would pass a long, lonely day hap
PLY with just one paper. oh, you do

CHICKEN TALK

Right now is the time to begin put

and add a little. Where a few have it
catch them and give a teaspoonful of
castor oil and three drops of laudanum,
If this does not check the disease re-
peat the dose and feed on bread and
boiled milk for several days
Rheumatism-Keep i'm a warm dry
place Give forty grains of EPSON
salts in two teaspoonruls of water
Battle the legs i'm turpentine and give
plenty of green rood.
Rafting in the throat-Get from a
Homeopathic doctor some tablets of ar

of a grain each, and give one four times
a day for two weeks, or less time If the
rafting stops. This is a sure cure if
taken in time. Don't breed him, nor
use eggs from his pen for breeding till
he is well. See that the chickens have
plenty of buttermilk in a pen that they
can get I'm but the grown fowls cannot
bother. Then watch them grow.
These hot moons will bleach the Rhode

THE COUNTY FAIR.
Tuscumbia. Ala.

The county fair is coming back
The poster sheets are everywhere,
And almost everybody now
Is whooping up the county fair
We've had our fill of aeroplanes-
We want to see the big fat hog,
The patent churn. the trotting dog,
The new device that beats a cog,
And work around through the cataloG
At the county fair.
We've always missed the county fair
It's inner and its outer track.
The dancing saddler. and the bull
About four feet across the back,
We're weary of chautauqua talk
We want to hear the whistles blow
The horses neigh, the ROSTERS crow,
The blOoded cattle when they low,
And the shrill-voiced starter shouting
Co..
At the county fair.
1t seems as If the world grows cold,
And people nowadays don't care.
For other people in the warm
Old manner Of the county fair
We're tired Of bowling here and there,
We want to shout, How are you
DAM"
Hello there, Bill!' and "Howdy, Ann, 81
And get warm clasp of the hand
From every woman, child and man
At the county fair
The county fair is coming back
And that is probably as we'll.
A little more and every one
Had disappeared within his shell.
The good old plan was better far
We want to meet the human race
In some well-decorated place,

Because of coming face to face
At the county fair.

"Why, that's what l do best" said
Lamar. You never knew what my

you?"
NO. one gets reputation like
yours" answered the secretary admir-
ingly, "on waiting. Just a minute. I'll
see if the chiefs free now. Come right

Lamar entered Chief Aliens office,

out a box of cigars and extended it,

CANNING IN A WASH POT

Dear Mrs. Thomas: As I have re-
ceived many letters from different ones
since | wrote about canning vegetables
in wash pot out in the cool shade, /
have had inquiries as to how I did it.
So now by your permission I'll tell once
for all in the Household and try to make
it plain so all can understand 1 do
love to be all the help can to as many
people as possible for as we serve our
fellow creatures most and best we serve
the Lord most and best wake up
hungry each morning to do some good
for some one that day not for the reward
that / hope to reap so much as feel L
owe debt of gratitude to Him who
suffered and died to save me.
BEANS: / use only young, tender
ones before they have any large shells.
string and break them up and wash
them and put them in clean washed
cans. L have a soldering iron that fits
around the lids called a Gaping steel,
it costs 81. 1 get lids that have the
soldering around them. ] use 3-pound
cans and the first year after emptying
them 1 wash them when l open them
and turn them top down and get new
lids for them the next year and use them
the second year provided they are new
and bright inside, but l never use a
rusty can at any time. When I fill
the cans with beans | FIJI them with
water to nearly cover the beans, of late
1 don't put anything else but water, as
salt tends TO rust the cans, then 1
solder them up before 1 put them in
the pot. / have a different iron to
seal the small holes in the center Of the
lid from the larger one that I seal the
outside edges Of the lid.
When 1 get them sealed L take a large,
shallow agate pan and put IL bottom up
In the pot, that gives me a flat surface
to set ten 3-pound cans low enough to
be covered with water all the time that
am cooking them after they' come to
"a boil
L keep a large kettle Of water by the
same fire to replenish the water in the
not as II evaporates while cooking. l
cook them until tender. l don't often
time myself as the fire does not always
stay the same but good way to be sure
that they are done is to put handful
of loose beans in the pot where the cans
are cooking and you can readily tell
when they are done.
I nut I'D tomatoes and okra the same
way. I used TO can corn mixed with
tomatoes the same way only II takes

this may help some one, l close with

NARCOTIC DKUG USERS,

How the narcotics advance into drug
using 1 shall not attempt to explain,
but / do know that many a one has
become addicted who was upright hon
est, self-respecting, Woodworking and
self-Supporting until they became adj
diets and afterwards life became a
misery and they would lie and steal TO
get the drug as a means of relief from
physical torment. And there are vam-
pires in the medical profession. un-
worthy persons, and vampires in the
drug business, who will aid the addict
with deadly narcotics because of the
money there is in the business.
The Harrison law was aimed at such
people because there was obvious need
of it, but like the prohibition Of the sale
of intoxicants, bad people will risk
penalty to get the profit in filthy lucre.
The authorities which put the fIarri-
son law on the statute books have done
the best they could, no doubt, but 1T Is
we'll known that the taking of narcotic
drugs is largely increasing and consti-
tutes a public menace in all classes
of society.
And an honest physician is obliged to
handle an addict when he is called for
treatment and we all understand that
he must taper down or he may only be
able to ship a lunatic to the insane asy-
lum or find that his patient prefers the
suicide route, or he will be dismissed II
the patient can find relief somewhere
by having the dope slipped to them by
vampires in drug stores. The state or
Georgia is appropriating few thousand
dollars to treat those who come flrst
and who are like crazy people when they
are taken in hand. There are thousands
who need attention and are as worthy
of il from the public treasury who 90
not get i'm smelling distance of the so
called state sanitarium for drug addlcts.
II is one of the most vital questions
.hefore the people of Georgia

ALMOST destroyed.
In 1916 the Germans are attempting
TO take Nerdun. For seventy-three con-
secutive days they have been Smelling
this ancient city. They have made
Iorays with their most valuable troops.
They have been repulsed by French
oayonets, time and time again. For
nearly three months they have been

of the treaty of Verdun-centuries ago
where the people of France were turn
ed over to Germany and the Germans
failed to send relief forces and Paris
run with blood and numbers were mas
sacred? Do these memories still rankle
in the minds of French soldiers who
have no willingness to again become
vassals of Germany?
If the veil could be lifted and one
might see how the hatred of France to
Germany has been migrated by reason
of tyranny and Injustice, we might find
a keen recollection of the time when
the treaty of Verdun signified defeat,
debasement and despair to France

THE STRUGGLE AT vERDuN.

To those who are familiar with the
ancient history of France and Germany
the stubborn fight at Verdun in 1916
recalls the ancient struggle and the fl
nal treaty of Verdun after the collapse
of Charlemagne's empire about the year
461.
The historian says until that ancient
treaty of Verdun, the history of Ger
many and France is one and the same
France passed under the dominion of
the Germans.
The treaty of Verdun assigned France
to Charles the Bold, but deprived
france of the natural frontier of the
Rhine.
Charles the Bold found his new king
dom in state of anarchy and exposed
to the ravages of freebooters known as
Mortimer, in later times as Normans
Every year their depredations were re-
peated and in S45 reached Paris Charles
the Bold abandoned Paris without a
blow and the Mortimer plundered the
city and after looting the rich churches
and abbeys, they demanded and received
seven thousand pounds of silver. Ten
years later they ravaged Paris again
and massacred a number of the inhabi-
tants. In $50 they laid seige to Paris

DON'T SELL THE STATE Road.

You may rest assured that there is
a vigorous movement on foot to elect
men to the Legislature next fall who
will vote to sell the Western and At
lantic railroad.
That strong railroad pressure is be-
ing used to that purpose there is not
shadow of doubt. 1t is used now.
The testimony that is being printed
right now, given before the interstate
commission in Washington City, is
proof positive that railroads have been
using money, with free passes, to force
legislation favorable to their interests.
l have no doubt but these railroads
have been using money in Georgia as
they admit has been done in Alabama
and Tennessee, to corrupt legislators.
There are OminouS symptoms that
the sale of the best property the state
of Georgia ever owned or ever will
own, is now being considered by these
railroad influences What a shame it
will be to barter off the state road.
with all it means to the education of
Georgia's poor children to fill the cof-
ferS of rich railroad interests
