Result of Extravaganza.

These are not the necessaries of life ;
they can scarcely be called the con-
veniences and yet, only because they
look pretty, how many want to have
them! By these. and other extrav-

poverty, and forced to borrow Of those
whom they formerly despised. but who,
through industry and frugality, have
maintained their standing, in which

RECKONING WITH LODGE

Savoyard, political writer of note
and distinction who has for many
years been before the American pub
lie in various causes, last week took
time to say what he thought of
Lodge, Knox & Company in the
United States senate But before we
turn you over to Sayoyard, let us
remind you of what Senator Lodge
said less than three years ago when
the war was raging at its highest.
Listen at this:
Il know the difficulties that
seem to rise when we speak of
anything which seems to involve
an alliance. But | do not believe
that when Washington warned
us against entangling alliances
he meant for one moment that we
should not join with other civiliz-
ed nations of the world, if
method could be found to dimin-
ish war and encourage peace"
Back in the spring of 1918
says the Atlanta Journal Senator
Lodge was arguing trat although 1T
may seem Utapain at this
moment to suggest a union of
civilized nations in order to put
a controlling force behind the
maintenance of peace and inter-
national order" nevertheless, 1T
is along this path that we must
travel if we are to attain in any
measure to the end and we all
desire, peace upon earth
Now, although England and France
are already agreed to it, Senator
Lodge stalls and balks, and paws III
the earth. All of it is worse than yol
might expect at child's fuss where
red streaked candy is the object o
disiraj:on.
If you are concerned about wha
goes with the peace treaty. or wheth
er We rave wear again or chaos. o

selves and others, read these word

PLEASURES A-PLENTY

Those who took an outing last night
in Cordele doubtless found that it
was quite easy to locate amusement.
There was the local band concert, a
very creditable one, ,-tone appreciat-
ed by crowds of people. Then the
the swimming pool and the skating
rink and the picture show,-iand a
million autobile!
People We're riding. People
Were in swimming, skating and listen
ing to the music. Crowds of them
were looking at a good picture at the
movie. If you are inclined to credit
this community with being satisfied
with lazy, slow existence, get it
out of your mind. 1t is your fault, not
that of the community. All you have
to do is to get out and go into it, You
can most of the time choose what you
want. That isn't bad at all. If you be-
l.eve it. then it is so.
Now and then you find a man who
frowns and argues that the people
spend their money TOO much at all
this recreation. That is exactly what
they are looking fora place to
spend their money, where their
money when spent will represent
get the point?
Whoever went out and took an ac-
count last night must have credited
the community with living like a
much larger place. You can have NO
much larger place You can rave no
community without plenty of plea
tion. 1t ought to be satisfaction Il
everybody that we have the place fo1
pleasure and thousands of people VIII,
are red blooded and love pleasures

The man who is always confused as
to the time certainly deserves sym
pathy and he has good reason to get
confused,-4now more than ever But
state regulation cannot improve it
and will not, for the Reason that the
state can do no more with the pro
blem than can the individual The
authority to fix the time is vested in
the Interstate Commerce Commission
When the day light saving law dies
with the end Of October, we will go
back two hours to where we stood be-
fore the war That will be the cor
rect time. Mark it down on the side
of the wall, so you will have no diff
ficulty in arriving at the right time.

from Savoyard to the Editor of tn
New York World:
no An Edifnr of Tho World.

New York World:
To the Editor of The World:
President Wilson has an exqui-
ste sense of humor that would
have been the envy Of the late
Proctor Knott, | once heard him
aptly illustrate the matter of dis
course with an anecdote like
this: A young man in the hope
of extorting a compliment from
fine old Scotch scholar sent
him paper the young man was
the author Of The old gentleman
began to read it, and afteh time
he muttered; James, you a
liar and I ken it." Resuming the
reading in a few minutes he ex-
claimed: James you are a liar
and you ken it." Mr.. Wilson en-
ployed the Scotch idiom, with
which | am not sufficiently ac-
quainted to write exactly.
Having the episode in mind, |
was not suprisel to read in the
paper that Mr.. Wilson had con-
ceived the diverting notion that
in the event the senate re-
jects the treaty of which he
was sponsor he would send
Lodge and Knox abroad to try
their hands at making a treaty.
There is startling mosaic of the
grim and the Iudicrous for you.
What is the position of Senator
Lodge? Only this: He intends
to perfect this treaty he says
the President has botched, and
if the other parties to the treaty
including Germany, do not &C
cept his idea they can leave it
and allow chaos full swing the
world around. That is what
Lodge says and that it what
L2dge means Jack Cade is dead
but his sould is leading the major
ity side of the United State
Senate.
Every German junker, every
bolshevik of both hemfspheres,
all the other flotsam and jetsam
of political error, political stupid
ity and political ignorance pray
for strength to the arm, courage
to the heart, and patriotism to
the mind of Henry Cabot Lodge
The issue is order versus chaos.
Is it possible that the United
States senate is ass enough to
follow such leadership?

PURE FOOD

2.To prevent fraudulent substitu.

3. Every inform the purchases what
she is buying.
Most foods are SO labeled that the
purchaser knows exactly what the
product is, and can exercise Judge.
ment in the purchase of them. Some
products are so we'll known to the
housewife that from the class name
under which they are sold she can
tell the ingredients contained there
in. With others, such as baking pow
der, all the ingredients are named on
the label, and as a result the most
healthful, economical and desirable
kind can be selected.
There is one class Of mixture, how
we're, which is still bought blindly
without knowledge of the ingredients
These are the so-calledJ Self Rising
Flours. Read the label on any pack
age of self rising flour and there is
seldom found either the statement,
"This package contains the following
ingredients and none other" or any
equivalent statement One cannot de-
termine from the label eiher the quail
ity of the flour or the nature Of the
other ingredients mixed Herewith.
Tre housewife is very particular
as to the quality of the flour when
she buys it unmixed but can exercise
no discretion in the purchase of self
rising flour because of the effect pro-
duced by the added chemicals.
In the selection of baking powder,
the housewife is very particular; but
in self-rising ingredients are handed
her without asking questions and in
an equal state of ignorance with the
dealer who is selling to her, as to-
what these ingredients are.
1t has been admitted by the manu-
facturers of acid phosphate that the
'tprosphae used in selErsing flour
frequently contains 25 per cent or
over Of calcium sulphate (gypsum).
Physicians know the objections to in
Producing such an amount of un-
necessary inedible material into the
system.
The physician can do much toward
the enastment of laws that will for
bid the use of such material in the
manufacture of self-rising flour and
that will require a statement on self
rising flour of all the ingredients con-
tained therein.
Such laws will protect the realth
and the pocketbook.
