The Habit of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is
a habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed-not ice cold, but a
temperature of about 800 F. Also
sleep with your window up. Do this
and you will seldom take cold. When
you do take cold take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and get rid of it as
quickly as possible. Obtainable ev-
erywhere. Adv.

TO MODEST GIRL."-You are a
credit to your set and the fact that
you are one Of the minority does not
make your views wrong. From per-
sOnal experience and keen ObserVa-
ton 1 can truthfully tell you that the
more dignified and modest you will
be the more you will be thought Of
by moral young men.
Really, there is not much harm or
good in a kiss, but it serves as a
stepping stone toward more deiber-
ate action and less cOnsiderate
thoughts.
The young man who expects to be
recompensed by hug or kiss, when
he takes you out, would most nat
uFaIIy as the time goes on expect
greater sacrifices to satisfy his sem
suality. Keep up your dignity and
do not allow any of those mice"
young men to kiss you. Their friend
ship would not be beneficial to you.

100000 there can be found enough

qualities and virtues you possess, the
greatest of which is mOdesty.-l. w.

BURLEsQUE INVESTIGATIONS. |

BURLESoUE INVESTIGATIONS.
in your news article about the bur
lesque show investigation, you refer
to the mature men who are patrons
of the bUrlesque." You also refer to
the investigators in somewhat iron
ical language.
AS friend of The Day Book, per
NIT me to call your attention to the
fact that if there were no curb on
the burlesque houses and upon those
who make their money by appealing
to the animal instincts Of humanity,
they would know no limit
The people who investigate these
places are to be commended; they
certainly show public spirit. It ill
becomes The Day Book to sneer at
them. Have you ever attended these
performances? If so, you have seen
not only mature men," but also
youths Of II and Is. These shows
are certainly not inspiratiOnal to bet
ter things, but are of a demOralizing
character.
AS l understand, these investiga-
tiOns were made to gather data to
present at Springfield in support of
Senate Bill 100, which is designed to
give the people relief from immoral
shows.
Let me give you an Illustration Of
the evil which these places cause.
About year ago attended one Of
these buTlesque shows. In the audi
ence, was a negro about Is or 20
years old. After the performance he
exhibited many symptoms of Uneasi-
ness. He was emotionally wrought
up to a pretty high state of feeling.
What consequences might not follow
this condition?
A good way to test whether or not
the reformers should keep away
from these places is to ask yourself:
do I want my boy to attend these |
performances, or my daughter to ap-

Cordele is ever developing her COM
mercial and business life, but in do

she dispenses a gracious hospitality.

given throughout the year by different
clubs, and by individuals in their beau

he Symphony Club

April, 1911, Mrs. w. H. Mckenzie en-
tertained the Symphony Club and their
husbands and friends at a beautiful
evening party. The club was assisted
on this occasion in their rendition of
much of Verdis opera, BY the Male
Quartette, Messrs. Ballenger, Durrett,
Harris and Robuck. In May of this
year, 1911, the club decided to put
forth their efforts to buy a piano for
use in the school auditorium. With
no money in their treasury, they lit
tie realized the struggle that should
follow before the funds were raised
TO purchase a Concert Grande.
In the Junetime of 1916, the Grande
Piano was paid for, and is now grac-
ing the stage of the beautiful city au-
ditorium, where it is not only the
pride of the Symphony club but the
joy and pleasure of the people on all
public musical occasions. Some of
the pleasures that come to the peo-
pie, as the result of club efforts, were
entertainments of various kinds, like,
"a Trip Around the World; "-Ehe
Old Maids Conference; Country
Fair" entertainments from out of
town, etc Even rummage sales were
sources of interest to some of the club
members during their days Of financial
stress. But this time is all past, and
the club continues its efforts in must
cal and Iiteary pursuits. We have the
honor of being the first music club
in the state to join the Federation of
Women's clubs. Now the Symphony

their endorsement is considered the

By Mrs. I. j. Durrett.

On January 9th, 1909, a number of
musicians met with Mrs. G. A. Ballen-
ger, at Mrs r. c. Harris on Twelfth
avenue and organized the Symphony
club. Mrs. Belen Brown was named
to act as chairman and the ladies pro-
ceeded to the election of officers. Mrs.
Ballenger was unanimously elected
president; Mrs. Jennings, vice presi-
dent; Mrs. Durrett, secretary Since
that time, eight years ago, this club
has been a great factor for the adj
yancement of music and the develop.
ment Of musical appreciation in the
city Of Cordele.
Succeeding Mrs. Ballenger, Mrs.
Pate held the office of president for
several months. For the first year.
the club met at the various homes
wherever invited, enjoying a social
good time, with little though of out
side care or work. What with good
musical programs, delectable society
and the enjoyment of rare refresh
ments we saw no need for more.
At the fall election, November ~,
1910, Mrs. Durrett was made presi.
dent, Miss Birdie Bulloch, vice presi-
dent, Miss Carswell, secretary. 1t
was at the December meeting of this
year that the club voted to give con-
cert for the benefit of the Woman's
club, the proceeds from which could
go to the library fund. This concert
took place at the court houe, and was
a financial success. Our people all
appreciate the efforts Other own

its progressive business methods en-

Federation of Woman's Clubs
,,,......., And It's Broad4 Work

Able discussion of Federated work.
given especially for this edition Of the
Dispatch by Mrs. j. e. Hays Of Mon
tezuma, the brilliant and capable Vice
President at Large Of the State Fed
Grafton Of clubs:
To speak Of the work Of the Federa-
ton of clubs means not only a refer
ence to every line of work in which
woman herself is interested, but also
every undertaking for the upIift of hui
manity in general.
Woman's object, first and foremost
in life, the purpose for which she was
created, is the home, therefore her
greatest interest is in it, and in i'm
proving the environment in which her
children are reared Her home must
be run on an economic basis, the sani-
tation must be good and surely she
must have an eye for the beautiful in
order to cultivate the artistic tempera-
ment. She must know how best to
feed and clothe her children, the best
books for them to read and how to
teach them the truths of life so as to
make Of them good and God fearing
citizens.
When woman has mastered these
primal objects, she is beginning to re-
alize that her work has just begun
for her children cannot be kept with
in the home. She wishes to have a
clean town, standardized schools, good
environment, play grounds and a city
beautiful. She realizes also that she
is her neighbor's keeper.
Now, in order for her to accomplish
any good for her town she must join
hands with women of similar desires,
hence the womans club which is on
ly home making on a larger scale. 1t
is a banding together to improve self
to improve homes, and to improve liv-
ing conditions. When the club has
become awakened to these subjects

ORIGIN OF THE WEDDING RING


ORIGIN OF THE WEDDING RING.
q. The following history Of the we'd
ding ring was clipped from an ex-
change
In the land of the sphinx and the
pyramids, was the cradle of emancipat
ed womanhood, where materfamilias
ruled her willing household with des-
5potic Sway-a fair and benevolent des-
pCtism but none the less tyrannical,
borrowing her snug authority from
the mother-goddess Isis, the indomin-
table and supreme.
q In ancient time the influence of the
Egyptian wife extended far beyond the
domain of the family dwelling, for
she was mistress of the storeroome
the granaries and all the provisions;
mistress of the Seals" "Mistress of
the Linens" Mistress of the Khete
mu," the sealed rooms. All the doors,
boxes and jars of the household we're
deliberately sealed and under her sole
for the great number of scarab-seals
found by the side of females in mum
my cases.
In this capacity as supreme arbiter
of the household and it's appurtenan-
ces, on the wedding day the Egyptian
woman's lord, but not her master; pre-
l. e+r of 1c
(which she wore like a bunch of keys
vi first the jewels were suspended
from a string hung about her neck.
Then she wore them on a cord Of
string around her wrist and later, for
greater security, they were attached
to the fingers, by string or wire
This wire is said to be the direct for
bear of the signet ring and of the
wedding ring.
With the advent of locks these seals
gave way to keys, and the husband
tremendously presented his mistress
with the keys of the household or es-
tate on a ring. These becoming too
kombersome or uncomfortable, plain
metal band was given for the keys.
vzSays Cicero: The key was given to
the bride on entering her home to sig
1slify that she was appointed mistress
-materfamilias-o the house-in fact
to be used by her to lock up her store
room, and in case of divorce was
taken away"
Thus the wedding ring comes-in
proud perpetuity to the brides Of to-
day from the sacred shores of the
drowsy Nile.

CHERO-COLA COMPANY
RIGHT ON The Job

If no more could be said of the Chero

could be easily vouched for. But there

this Cordele enterprise. The person

A neat Year Book which the Sym.

the Symphony club is doing, is the
