owing the first pig iron would be urned out at the mills. Very short after that the first steel rolled m the Pacific coast will become a 'eality, he said. The preliminary investment will involve the expendi- ure of $9,O00,000, representing the cost of the first unit.
 Project Long Considered
 During the course of his remarks le explained that he appeared be- ore those present simply to appeal or their moral support to the pro- ect, and in concluding his remarks le asked that committee be named rom among the guests present to de- 'ise a method of concentrating that upport behind the proposition. Such motion was put by A. B. Stewart md adopted unanimously, every one present expressing keen satisfaction tt the announcement. Mr. Struve, who acted as toastmaster, then an bounced that he would name such a committee in the very near future.
 At the conclusion of the informal Timer Chairman Struve introduced Mr Thane, who said in part
 "The idea of establishing a steel manufacturing plant on the Pacific coast is not new idea by any means It has been discussed for many years, and hitherto it has al ways been claimed that the ore de posits, or transportation facilities, or the coking coal production. or some other essential factor, was in adequate to render an enterprise successful.
 "The idea is not a new one either with myself or my associates, for we have discussed it more or less for some years. However, about five years ago l deemed it worthy of in yestigation and commenced the col ection of data bearing on the re- luirements of such a project.
 Great Development on Coast
 My experience in mining on the
 
 pig iron and, consequently, steel could be produced here. Others who lad studied the situation made their reports. I had access to some of .hese and all were against the prop )sition. At the time their estimates, were made they were justified in passing up the proposition.
 However, conditions along the Pacific Coast. from the Mexican line 0 Nome, have undergone monu- mental change in the past decade or .ess. The last five years have wit lessed the most remarkable devel- )pment along the Pacific coast of my section of our continent.
 "To undertake such project nee essitated revision of estimates, and a more thorough metallurgical research into the resources of this section of the country. By that mean the whole territory embraced from Mexico to Nome. Alaska, and extending quite a distance inland and including goodly portion of Western British Columbia.
 AS the result of five years of in vestigation, two years of which actively engaged in myself. l am now satisfied that steel can be pro duced here as cheaply as in the Eastern manufacturing centers. In compiling these statistics we. speak ing of myself and associates. have compiled the data collected by g large number of most efficient and practical mining engineers of the country. localities which I person ally investigated following the re ports of my engineers, have had

After a long period of suffering with
liver and bowel trouble that brought on
piles. during which she had tried many
remedies without obtaining relief. Mrs.
Mary j. Jewell, of Berrien Springs,
Mich, heard of DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin and obtained a bottle from her
druggist. This simple, inexpensive lax
ative compound brought almost imme-
date relief and Mrs. Jewell wrote 10
DR.. Caldwell about her case.
In her letter Mrs Jewell says, II mad

WHEN ARE Won GOING,

Dear Mrs. Thomas: AS 1 was sitting
on my porch yesterday afternoon 1t came
to my mind that I should write to you
and ask space for a few words. 1 hope
they will help some one. 1t seems we
Lord has been very good to us. 1t is
reasonable to think that every reader of
this Atlanta Journal does send UP thanks
to the good Lord for what has already
been received and ask God to help us
on. 1t looks like the American people
ought to realize that they haven't long
to live even if they live their three score
years and ten. According to some inter
pretations of the Bible we are only
promised two thousand years. and 1t
says also that these days shall be short
ened for the elects sake.
Perhaps there are many who had
never thought Of this. Some pass to
the world unknown every day, some die
suddenly No one ever knows when he
or she will be called to render an ac-
count of the way life has been spent.
Let us quit thinking so much Of this
world and worldly affairs and think moro
of our souls and where we are going to
spend eternity. 1t is terrible to think
how many are sinking lower every day
and not needing the way they are living.
God is knocking at your heart and He
does not knock always. DO not turn
him away. May the Lord help each of
US to live better is may prayer.
Lovingly,
A FRIEND.

WHY NOT COOKE

In the efforts of our young women to
do something by which to make money
I will mention cooks. I copy the FOL
lowing from the editorial columns OF
the Designer for April, 1917, the present
month
Cooks Of quite ordinary rating have
been getting $50 a week and board In
the suburban homes around New York
Housemaids get from $40 to $50 month
and hoard Chauffeurs get big wages.
Munitions workers in many instances
have been receiving 800 per week
Wages in nearly all manual occupations
are high. The groups who lack employ
ment are the unskilled and the clerical
workers. Are parents as well as chill
dren seeing the point, and planning &C
cordingly? The day Of the manual
worker is here Our educational system
has done we'll to I'LL the country with
manual training schools. Efficiency
divides people into two classes-hand
workers and head workers. Each of US
is one or the other"
This is to my mind one Of the most
sensible editorials I have ever seen in
print.
A young woman trained in domestic
science, and graduated as an expert,
should be able to cook even in suburb
an homes near New York City. At S26
a week and board, she could save two
thirds Of her wages. The board bill Of
the girl clerks in department stores is
what eats up the money. There Is abso-
lutely no comparison between the two
positions, everything being in favor of
the cooks.
A cook getting more than 500 a
month, with board and lodging thrown
IN, is doing land office business"
If I was compelled to go out TO serv-
ice, I'd choose the cooks place every
time, pay being equal Ia be sure Of
enough to eat and a good place to sleep.

THIS DOG HAD SENSE.

MANY dogs do have plenty OF sense.
Jack, a dog owned by lady In STAN
ford, Conn, prevented another dog from
drowning a few days since. 1t IS colo
weather still in these parts and river
near his home was frozen over. The
other dog attempted to cross, but the
ice was very treacherous-would not
bear his weight--so he went in and
under. Jack witnessed the accident
and understood the danger of his brother
dog. Jack, at the peril of his own lif9'
crept along until he was near enough
tn reach the hole Then he lowered his
head, seized the lucky dog by the neck
and pulled him out into safety.
I had a splendid dog some years ago
that understood what we talked about.
One day a big mule in the horse lot
was seen reaching up on the SIDE OF
the barn striving to pull out the fodder
and hay in the top part. said to Dr.
FELTON,. as we were looking through the
window, eff somebody does not drive
that mule away he will break down tho
harm doors" My dog Sam heard me,
ran to the closed door of our sitting
room and clamored to be let out. Then
he ran directly to the horse lot ana DIT
at the heels of the mule until he maze
him get down and away. When stran-
gers came on the piazza the dog stood
at nv side, between me and the WIS.,
itors. He would follow me wherever
strange people were around, and no
coaxing would make him leave me, I'M
fiji he became assured that they were
friendly to me- If 1 rode HORSEBACK
which was the habit of my long life
even down to advanced age, Sam attend
ed me and was apparently engaged IN
taking care of me every moment OF the
time we were racing across the helds
together. He did not hunt birds or
chase rabbits; he kept as near as the
saddle mare allowed him. Yes, dogs
have sense good dogs do. There Is as
much difference between sensible dogs
ord fool dogs as YOU find between sem
sib1e folks and two-legged fools.

ASHAMED OF THEIR PATIENTS.
There are a good many people in the
world who have been deserted by their
parents, either father or mother, may
be both and they have reason to be
ashamed that these parents gave them
a sorry chance in life. There are also
a good many who have been mortified
and ashamed by parents inebriate hab-
it's and its more dreadful twin fellow,
dope habits. / have seen little children
tuck their heads and clasp the hands
of little brother and sister. when a
temperance speaker would tell what
a drunkards home might be, and what
dope can do. L have made this men
ton to show l am not discussing GER
tain phases of the subject of which 1
am at this time writing about. / have
another class of people in my mind
am concerned with young people
who are vain and giddy, who like to
have a good time abroad and appear
in lively company, who are neither re-
spectful or dutiful to the parents at
home, those who of necessity must keep
the pot boiling and provide a shelter
for the vain and giddy young people.
Their toil-worn hands are not grace
full or even smooth and passable look
ing There are wrinkles in their old
careworn faces. They wear very plain
clothes, and awkward shoes because
they are cheaper and the young ones
are clamorous for so many extras and
fine things for themselves. They are
not pretty nor lively.
The old father sees to the stock when
the boys come home late at night; the
old mother wabbles around. mostly in
the kitchen, and in the rear of the
house, but they are very useful in SICK
ness. Nobody more so. When the boy
gets him a wife, out of the vain and
giddy crowd that he has been going
with. and she despises the kitchen and
the rear of the yard, then 1t Is very
handy to carry babies to mas house
and let her bother with them on sun
DAYS or circus days, or on Saturdays
when every fellow and his mate must
go to town to see things, that they nave
, no money to buy. If anybody gets
sick, then send for ma. If anybody
gets in trouble, old pa can sign MS
name to the bond at the sherin's de-
mand.
When the young daughter has married
her dude sweetheart and he won't work
and leaves her with a baby, maybe
more. it is necessary to go back 10
those homely old folks for meat and
bread and to find a shelter for the de-
serted family.
In the wind-up of this article don't
forget that those homely and maybe
uneducated old parents are worth some
respect and attention.
