Americs people will realize that this
Is one more link in the wonderful
chain of evidence proving that Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic
has no equal to create strength.
Mr.. Chas. A. Ogle, Monrovia, Md,
says:
For many years l was a school
teacher, then for three years was
Deputy Clerk in Frederick County
Nd, and for the last three years l
have been Cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank. My nerves got in such
bad condition, and with poor as
similation of food, / was fast becom-
ing a physical and mental wreck
Seeing an advertisement for Vinol,
/ purchased a bottle, and found 1t to
be exactly what l needed. 1t has not
only benefited my nerves, but built
me up both mentally and physically
ard l want to recommend it to anyone
suffering as did"
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

Colonel Roosevelt is credited with
saying before he Left New York:
There are only two men on earth to
whom Wilson is afraid, and they are
the kaiser and myself" If Roosevelt
said that he did not say it for publ

lie threw in the ring.-Valdosta

ARRAYING SECTIONS.

"Out in the Country-and Georgia
Politics" is the title of an interesting
article written by Editor L. Volney
Williams, in the Waycross Journal
Herald. The article is readable, and
bears a peculiar relation to the always
popular topic in Georgia during the
political season. Really, it has a
tinge of the sentiment SO often ex-
pressed by Thomas E. Watson, the
Thomson editor, when oft times he
pleads for the county unit system.
The real purport of the article is a
plea for the election of John w. Ben
nett of Waycross, Ware county as the
Georgia member of the National Dem
ocratic Executive committee. And, OF
course, it is in opposition to the re-
election Of Clark Howell, editor of
the Atlanta Constitution, who has
served on the committee for a num-
Der Of years.
It is possible-and entirely probable,
that Editor Williams has made a mis-
take in pleading the country against
the country alleging the Affiliations
of big daily newspapers to gain their
ends against the country weekly. Poll
tics is game played all over the
country and by every person in every
line OF work, and merit should count
for something.
The candidacy of Mr.. Bennett for
this position would appeal with much
more strength had his nomination
come from a platform of merit and
ability as compared with any other
If Mr.. Bennett is the best
fitted man for the high honor, regard
less of where he comes from, then he
should be named-but, if his main fight
hinges around efforts to array the city
against the country, and the daily
newspapers against the "Hayseed Edi-
tors" then we fear all of his strength
IL wasted upon desire to gain an end,
regard to the means.
1t is, indeed, an ugly charge made by
Editor Williams that the Atlanta news
papers have refused to carry a story
about Mr., Benefits candidacy. The
Atlanta newspapers need not think
that their failure to publish any story
of such interest will strengthen the
of their nominee. Georgia
politicians get some of their know
ledge from other sources tnat news
papers.
AS a peace parley intimations have
come that Editor Howell would be re-
elected as a member of the national
committee, and Editor James R. Gray
as chairman of the Georgia delegation
to the St. Louis convention.
These editors are the leaders of no
factions in Georgia, and although it
might heel breech in some quarters,
the staid old Georgia political fighter
will not stand by.
But Mr.. Benefits candidacy needs
to be pitched on higher plane than
sectional feeling gain it considera-
=, s.5he hands of some GeOrgians.

PRACTICE COTTAGES.


students obtain actual practice in
household work, are a prominent fea-
ture of current progress in home eco
Monies, according to a report issued
by the Department of the Interior,
through the Bureau of Education.
THE practice house is as distinctly
a Legitimate part of the equipment for
teaching home economics as the sew
ing machine, ironing board, or indiVid-
ual desk with its cooking utensils" de-
clares the report.
Home economics departments in
schools and colleges are not all so for
tunate as to have residences in which
to instruct in home management nd
in house-wifery. There has been some
hesitancy among school officers, be-
cause of the initial expense of prac-
tice house. But as it is recognized
that these houses are quite as neces-
sary as are good laboratories and that
the maintenance costs are not excess
sive, more departments are being thus
supplied. These houses offer oppor-
tunities for experimental studies IL
household administration, make prac-
tice in home furnishing possible, and
afford excellent places for studies in
nutrition"
The report shows that home econom-
les is now recognized course of study
in all agricultural colleges to which
women are admitted. Thirty-one state
universities offer regular courses in
home economics, and most of the pri-
vate and UNCONVENTIONAL colleges and
universities now offer similar instruc-
tion. So important has the subject
become in state public school systems
during the past two or three years that
new practically every state normal
school has a course in home econom-
les for prospective school teachers.
Summer schools are coming to play
an especially important part in home
economies teaching. The Bureau of
Education received announcements
from 1872 schools that were Offering
corses druing the summer of 1914; in
1915 the number reporting had increas-
ed to 230, and still further increase is
already assured for 1916.
Twenty-three states report an out
line of lessons in home economics for
statewide use A state manual of study
for the public elementary schools of
Alabama contains an outline for les
sons in cooking and suggestions for
the teaching of sewing in the grades,
with lists of equipment and references
for domestic science teachers in the
grades. In California each county or
city board of education prescrTbes its
own course of study in home econom-
les. An outline for course Of Lessons
in home economics has been prepared
for the common schools Of Illinois.
This is made use of particularly in the
rural schools. The domestic science
section of the high school conference
Ct Illinois has recently completed a
outline for lessons in
the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
grades, THIS taking an important step
n helping to unity the courses offered
IN home economies below the high
school,
