ICES the work Of the villages and ham,
the yearly export of boots and shoes
amounted to over $4,000,000 divided
among % manufacturers. They were
of common variety, sewn by machine,
generally with nailed sOles, and were
almost solely destined for export. But
the chief industry of Nancy is the max
ing of straw hats, which once flour
ished all over Alsace, and after our
defeats migrated to Nancy.
In the town itself, as 1 saw during
my late visit, most home workers are
employed at making hats, while the
large factories often employed as
many as 5000 work people-and two
thirds of these were women. This
trade, of which Nancy has the monopO-
ly In France, has been a great loss for
Germany, especially for the Rhine and
Saar provinces, where, strangely
enough, most of the towns continue to
work for Nancy. The plaits, however,
which serve to make straw hats, are
quite an industry In themselves. In
their raw state they come chiefly
from China, and are sent to Italy and
Switzerland for the bleaching process,
whence they are imported into France.
England, which is the chief intermedi-
airy, yearly imported half a million
tons of plaits. But even here Nancy

Straw Hat and Printing Press.
The trade of straw hats gives rise to
many others, for Nancy, after having
received the raw material, turns out
every kind of hat trimmed and ready
for export, and for this accessories of
all kinds are needed. What struck me
most when 1 walked through the large
workshops were thousands and thou
sands of bell-shaped hats, put one into
the other, forming immense pyramids.
1t was the Panama hat, the light,
white head cover which is so great
favorite and almost endless In Its
wear. These hats in their primitive
state are the product of the Bourbon
palm or latania, and are sent by the
republic of Ecuador. The dressing of
the Panama hats is one of the great
industries of Nancy, and 1t is all the
more important at the present time
when our women have been compelled
to take the place of men, for this Is a
light industry, well within their pow
ers.
The printing works of Berger-Lev-
rault form one of the most interesting
features of Nancy. They are famed
not only all through France, but l may
say the world. Here is the printing
done of almost all the branches of the
French government, and the prOprie-
tors are the publishers for the minis
tries of war, finance, police and many
other departments, for which they pro-
vide millions of copies.

Happiness That Satisfies.

Happiness is never more real, more
satisfying, than when founded on clean
heartedness. The possessor of a clean
conscience sees more beauty in the
world around him, because he looks
through clearer eyes. He has faith in
his friends, because it is so easy for
the one who is straight himself to be-
lieve the same of others. He gets the
best out of life because he unconscious

She was at the door when she fin

Cane Syrup To Bring High Price

plenty of Georgia cane syrup this fall
will have valuable asset, as the in
dications are that the prices for that
commodity will soar above anything
that has been asked for it before. Very
little sugar cane has been ground as
yet, but the growers are all getting
ready for the grindings. The crop
is comparatively short, the cold wealth

of the seed cane used for planting.

At the same time, VapoRub is abb

skin attracting the blood to the sur

HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this
is a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds - which
means avoiding crowds - common

has just completed memoranda Of
school property with the amount Of
insurance in force, to be turned over
to the new school board, which will
have entire charge of the finances of

figures show that the present value
of Atlanta's school buildings is $1,239,'

value Of furniture, supplies, etc., is
$183,645.34 insured for $29,850. The
apparent discrepancy between the
