We give our undivided attention to
the matter in hand; that is the only
safe way and we are nothing if not
safe.
We dispense only drugs of known
purity, holding that when human life
is hanging in the balance it is poor
time to economize by using "cheap"
materials and trusting to luck for re-
suits.
This is an important matter and one
worthy of serious thought.

WHAT PROMINENT PEOPLE
SAY ABOUT THURSDAY
AFTERNOON FOR
RECREATION

Miss Louise Smith, librarian. was
asked what she thought of setting
aside Thursday afternoon of each
week during the summer for recrea-
ton.
well, eli just tell you how Jack
son started eight years ago on this
plant, and the fact that it has been
kept up ever since is proof of its ap-
proval by the town." she said. Some
how the town had gone to sleep when
a new Baptist minister came from
Savannah to us, DR.. Van Devinter,
and about the first thing he did was
to see the business men personally
and get them to agree to close their
store Wednesday, though I notice that
Thursday is the popular afternoon in
South Georgia. Well, the next thing
he did was to secure the use of the
swimming pool >;thout charge for
these afternoons, and pretty soon he
had, in addition to making lot of
people happy, doubled the attendance
at prayer meetings,
"And how the people in Jackson
love Mr.. Van Devinter," she said. "I
don't think they could ever be induced
to give him up"
The missionary society of the First
Methodist church having been tenn
porarily discontinued, Mrs. Grahl, the
wife of the pastor, was asked what
she thought of the movement. 1--WE

POENCl|RE IND
WILSON WELD
Our ALLIANCE

Washington, July f6.--The fra
ternity OF the United States and
France to make the world safe for
democracy was cemented still more
closely by an exchange of cable
grams between the Presidents of the
two countries on the occasion Of the
anniversary of the fall of the Bastile.
The messages were made public to-
day. President Wilson's cable to
President Poincaire follows:
"On this anniversary of the birth
of democracy in France, | offer on
behalf of my countrymen and on my
! own behalf fraterhal greetings, as be-
fits the strong ties that unite our
people, who today stand shoulder to
shoulder in defense OF liberty, in tes-
timony of the steadfast purpose of our
countries to achieve victory for the
sublime cause of the rights of the
people against oppression.
The lesson of the Bastile is not lost
to the world of free peoples. May
the day be near when on the ruins
of the dark stronghold of unbridled
power and constituencies autocracv a
noble structure upbuilt like our own
great republic on the eternal founda-
tons of peace and right, shall rise to
gladden. all enfranchised world"
The president OF Fracne replied as
follows:
The French people, who for three
years have made so many heroic sac
rifices in the defense of right and lib,
erty, will receive in grateful emotion
the brotherly message which you, Mr..
President, were pleased to send me
for them. We shall be proud to car
ry on to victory, elbow to elbow, with
the great and generous American ma
ton, the war which was let loose in
the world by imperialism of our foes,
in spite of the strenuous efforts which
the French Republic always exerted
to avert so awful cataclasym. I, like
you, have no doubt that the defeat
of autocracy and German militarism
will at last open a future of indus
trious peace and prosperity to 1iberate
mankind"

Don't Dress Up and Don't Pose When
Having a Picture Taken.
There are many things l would like
to say to the woman who intends hav-
ing her picture TAKEN" said a famous
photographer the other day.
Many women come to me and say:
: OF course you prefer taking actresses.
They must have many advantages over
those women who never have time but
to give an occasional glance in their
mirrors This is entirely mistake
The conscious pose never makes a sat
isfactory portrait. l would say en-
phatically to the woman who goes to
have her photograph made not to re.
hearse her pose and facial expression
beforehand.
Il always find it difficult to impress
on the woman coming to my studio
that clothes and jewels are of abso-
lutely no account in photograph. If a
woman comes to be photographed In
the clothes she is used to wearing she
will feel at ease and therefore look her
best.
"One of the curses of our present day
civilization is the ever changing ques-
ton of fashion. How much more civ,
ilized were the Japanese, who realized
that the kimono was perhaps the most
perfect dress for women at all times
who only varied 1t with different bro
cades and girdles. The photograph that
concerns itself with clothes is soon out
OF fashion, and no matter how good a
likeness of the face has been obtained.
the picture Is grotesque in few years
because the clothes are passe."
