Home.


The following resolutions were
passed Monday at meeting of the

Resolutions Of the Lawrenceville Bar,
Judge Brands Old Home.
'Lawrenceville, Ca, Dec IS, 1915.
eve the undersigned members of
the Lawrenceville, Georgia Bar, note
with genuine pleasure the announce
ment of Judge Charles H. Brand for
Congress in the Eighth Congressional
District to succeed the late lamented
Samuel j. Tribble, and while we are
loath to give up Judge Brand, we GER
tainly wish him success in his new
ambition.
Having practiced under Judge
Brand for many years, we have had
possibly the best opportunity to know
him we'll as a man and as a judge,
and we unhesitatingly say we have
always found him honest, conscien-
tious, able, fearless in the discharge
of duty, yet merciful, especially to
the poor.
eff elected to Congress the Eighth
District will have an able, painstak-
ing, tireless worker, able to cope
with the brainiest men in Congress,
yet gentle, kind, and considerate of
the appeal of the humblest citizen of
the district
eve congratulate the district in
the opportunity they have of sending
to Congress such an able, fearless,
capable, and untiring worker as
Judge Brand, and no district in the
nation will have more efficient,

Malcolm Stuart sauntered up.
l sometimes think he is one of the
handsomest men l ever saw-with his
brown eyes at which his smile begins
before it reaches his mouth. His mouth
is his one bad feature-the lips. are
much too thin. AT times lie looks al
most cruel when those brilliantly red
lips come together like scarlet
thread.
l wonder if he can be cruel? 1 have
seen him when he was somewhat ar.
rogant and 1 have known him to be a
greater creature of moods than even
Chad-and yet to me he has only
shown one side of himself and that. is

He is almost feminine in his quick

Most people cat through habit.
This often causes indigestion.

TO eat when not hungry Is to eat
without relish and food taken with
out relish is worse than wasted.
The savage who had to stalk and
kill his deer before breakfast suffered
none OF the modern disorders Of the
stomach. His direct effort to obtain
his meal put him in a position to EN-.
JOY it.
The good old feeling called hunger
is in fair way to pas sinto tradition.
OF course there are families without
the proper amount of nourishiug food.
But this is not the genuine. sharp de.
mand OF the system for food. Most of
us left this behind with our childhood.
1t is wise to have q regular time for
eating. BUT We should do something
to acquire an appetite so that the act
OF eating will not become a mere
habit
1t is certain that more people die
from eating too much than from eating
too little. 1t is just as certain that
the foundations for many diseases are
laid through over.eating.
Many an overfed dyspeptic who Is
forced from a life of physical ease and
plenty to an active out door life dis
covers that his semi-invalidism has
gone. a new vigor and zest OF life
has been given him.
Not everyone can spend his whole
time in the open air. But he can OBJ
tain certain amount of exercise.
Plain, wholesome food in an amount
not exceeding the body's needs can
be had by almost everyone.
Exercise in the open is the best
thing in the world to restore the feel
