TINE so-called New Thought Movement
concerning which there still is
much Observation-Disclosures best
be described as primarily an organized effort
to spread the gospel of mental and spiritual
healing. In it's development it is contem-
poraneous with Christian Science and. like
Christian Science, it has marked religious
aspect. But it is by no means identical with
Christian Science, as some people seem to
| think.
| Emphasizing the influence of the mind
over the body, the New Thought frankly
recognizes the actuality of diseased bodily
conditions. 1t accepts the physical while
mistakenly proclaiming the supremacy of
the psychical.
And though in its beginnings it was pref
ty narrowly identified with a small group
OF New England mental and spiritual heal
ers-localiZed especially in Boston-it has
rapidly expanded to include adherents of
mental healing in general. SO that today
all who believe in the controlling force of
mind and soul over material disabilities may
fairly call themselves disciples of the New
Thought.
To be really ardent disciples. however
they must deny the validity of the claim of
orthodox medical science as to the non-ap-
preparedness of 'organic" diseases to
treatment by mental means alone. This is
apparent from passage in Horatio w.
History 'of the New Thought Movement"
Criticizing the Emmanuel Movement in the
Protestant Episcopal Church, Mr. Dresser
notes:
patients were accepted only in case reg
ular physicians pronounced their cases eIigi-
BILE for acknowledgements treatment This
meant reliance on the old-time methods of
diagnosis. 1t limited and defined the prac-
tice of suggestion, whereas the followers of
the New Thought acknowledge no such
limits.
"Hence the Emmanuel workers have
come to occupy distinctive place and to
advocate principles which they would de-
fend on a scientific basis. By contrast they
would classify the New Thought as I'M
scientific, while acknowledging that there
are practical ideas in New Thought books"
Scientific or unscientifc, there can be no
question to the growth of the New
Thought Movement.
Today there is an International New
Thought Alliance, with headquarters in
Washington and branches in many lands
Writings of American New Thought leaders
have been translated into French, Spanish
German and other European languages
Henry Woods Ideal Suggestion" has even
been translated into the Chinese. All of
which goes to bear out the contention:
'"rhe New Thought came because man
kind brought it with their desires"
And all of which also gives added signifi-
canoe to Mr.. Dresser's epitome of the ulti-
mate goal of the New Thought:
Good health should become a habit
founded in life of integrity. We ought
then to be able to labor and serve as if
mankind had neve by ignorance and way
wardness brought suffering upon the world
''That is the ideal of the New Thought:
to abolish suffering altogether, to bring man
to his true estate as spirit living even now
in the spiritual world

Treasures Near Home

~ ECAUSE American capital will not in

Major General Mcintyre, reports somewhat
ruefully that large tracts of the best agr-

The time will come, no doubt, when every
inch of these island territories will stand
America in good stead; and if surplus of
capital can be found for bringing forth the
latent treasures Of their soil, the outlay
eventually will Justify itself. But when we
consider that here on the mother continent,
here in the friendly South there are mill
lions Of acres as rich in productive powers
as any land beneath the fruit-bringing sun,
is it to be wondered that investors and
homeseekers choose the offerings near at

seas?
Georgia and her neighbor States are still
frontiers of opportunity in divers lines, par

An Immigrant Peril

n TORE stringent inspection of aliens
IVI seeking admission to America is
urged by Commissioner Wallis of the
United States immigration Service, who in a
rocent address to the National Industrial
Council pointed out some startling dangers
in that direction There is collision, he al
legged, between mercenary foreign agents and
immigrant carriers which will result, if their
schemes go unfrustrated, in dumping multi
tudes of the Old Worlds undesirables upon
our shoes. Hence his urging that
Every man had woman coming here
from abroad should be compelled to
present a police certificate showing that
he or she has never committed crime
or been in prison, and a medical certif-
cate of freedom from contagious or
loathsome tieea-e.
"Our inspection on this side must be
made stricter, and in particular must
watch the ship crews and stowaways
zone boat came in recently with a
crew of eleven hundred. Many of these
are Bolshviki and criminals. They
swarm doN the sides of the ship and
are off into the country before any one
can stop hem"
Failure to protect the country against
evils so obvious and so fragrant as these is
inexcusable. If more laws are needful, let
them be provided at the outset of the next
session of Congress. 1t would seem, how
ever, that the primary need is more vigilance
in the enforcement of existing laws.

Ho, Valiant Trenchern,en!
II Q all good trenchermen it is not the

melancholy days that are upon us
with their tingling winds and frosty
mornings, but that most delectable season OF
the year when appetites are eenest and
there is the most bounteous and luscious sup
ply to satisfy them. This is the time when
oysters steam within the pot, when beef is
rarest and turkey tenderest, when Georgia
yams are red gold, when ham gravy sizzles
with snap it possesses no other month OF
the year, when pies become a problem be-
cause one must choose between them and
fruitcake when the temptations of the flesh
pots assail the most dyspeptic to his down.
fall, and all the products of State famous
for its foods reach the height of their deli
ciOuSness.
With Georgia products dinners, with
Thanksgiving day, with Christmas near at
hand, and with meals three times day that
lack but little of being as winning as holiday
banquets, lucky is the fellow who needs
neither pills nor tonics to whet his palate
but may seat himself at home table or lunch
counter, in glorious confidence that he will
do full justice to the repast awaiting.
There are many dishes on Georgia menus
Of November and October one is feign to
praise. But there is one in particular which,
though it's origin be humble, is such a nee
essary FLIP to the turkey or the beef, so
ever-present at any dinner claiming merit
beyond the ordinary, that it deserves hon
orary mention. That, of course, is cranberry
doughty spread.
1t is a dear little fruit, and just as Ameri-
can as the Indian himself Native to the
swamps and fogs of Newfoundland, it ranges
even so far west as Wisconsin and to the
South into the Carolinas For long time
it received little recognition from the con-
noisseurs of banquetry. Growing in it's
messy home, it was harvested in only hap
hazard way until, about 1910, it was tanned
and domesticated and so improved in flavor
and size that it had little need of the "eat
more cranberry" campaigns which, for a
time. were promoted to push it's popularity.
The American people today dispose Of
more than fifty million quarts of cranber-
rles year, and the time is coming when
that consumption promises to be increased,
for, from delicacy confined in the main to
the holiday season, the cranberry is to be
made an "all-the-year-round" product,
through ways perfected to evaporate the fruit
and put it into cans. In the meantime cans
or not, 1t is here for a few short months at
least, and the good trencherman rejoices &C.

Grated by Chinese girls in richly colored

Chinatown had it's beginning in San
Francisco in 1859, according to Californian
authorities, When Chinese coolies were en-
couraged to come to this country to work
on the construction of the Central Pacific
railroad. 1t was the same coolie class that
laid the foundation of all other Chinatowns
in America. Later came the E.erchants and
leisure classes, but never in such great
numbers.
''The old Chinatown" explained a San
Franciscan, contained over $4,000 inhabi-
tants, whereas the present one contains
about 10000. Many of those who fed the
fire located elsewhere and never came back
The section used to be composed of dilapi-
dated tenements and rOokeries from two to
five stories high, divided by narrow alleys
that were swarming day and hight with the
occupants of the frst-foor stores and base
ments. Nearly every house had it's cellar
and subcellar, usually given over to the use
of opium, gambling and other iniquities.
The joss houses were more numerous then,
and Chinese music, which is so eXcruciat-
ing to Occidental ears, constantly issued
from them.
''The theaters, too, were more numerous
All the actors were men, women being for
hidden in the Chinese theatrical profession;
the cenery was primitive-often nothing at
all; the play was without plot, so far as as
Occidental could see, and It often took days
and even weeks before the final curtain
descended On the last act.
'The new Chinatown is reproduction of
the old, but it is much cleaner much
healthier, and less wicked 1t is also much
grander, for there are now several Chinese
millionares, and many palatial business
houses filled with the richest products of
the Orient"

THE PRETTIEST THINGS
The prettiest things there are must lie
Unused, unheeded utterly.


Unused, unheeded utterly.
AS where the lorries drop bright oil
Weed-shaped, to turn our highways soil
AS lovely as the ocean-bed,
Blue branching green, gold branching red.
And all the little friendly words
In secret nests of mice and birds.
And window missal-scrolls of frost
Unnumbered times achieved and lost.
And songs that fill the blackbird's head
In March, that August finds unsaid.
And tales we dreamt at five years old
That by no later skill are told.
While towns and faces dull as clay
Are praised and copied every day

Mademo;se71e Verdun

YEROES of the World War, be they
major generals or buck privates, be
they wearers of Distinguished Serv-
Ice Crosses or half a dozen wound stripes
must bow in honor before one veteran of
the conflict with record like none other
MAIDEN oiselle Verdun.
She was born on the battlefield, was
Mademoiselle Verdun, born on the fiery
slopes of Verdun at the height of a German
barrage that pounded the forts of France
like flames from hell. Only a few days
later, she hiked ten miles without whim-
per, and, through major offensive after ma
jor offensive, she held her place in the
ranks, even to the Rhine where she stuck
her nose in that majestic flood and brayed
sonorous defiance to the frowning battle
ments of Ehrenbreitstein.
For Mademoiselle Eerdun is a mule just
such a long-eared, lean-shanked mule as one
can behold any day before the pillow in Geor-
gla. 1t was not given to Mademoselle
Verdun to sing the famous army song of
plows and other things, for she came into
the world with the army brand upon her,
and the only harness she has ever known is
the rub of the artillery leather.
On April 16, 1918, Mademoisele Verdun
was foaled at Verdun at 3 a. NJ, just few
hours after her dam had finished hauling
shells for Battery E of the Fifteenth Field
Artillery of the Second Division, she being
wheel mare in that OUTFIT of the famous
Indian Heads Because she lived and thrived
and gave promise of the day when she too
would become a good artillery mule with
her elders. Mademoiselle won a place as
mascot of the division which no number of
German police dogs or stub-tailed French
pups could contest.
Today Mademoiselle Verdun is queening
1t at Camp Travis, Texas, where the SeconL
is being recruited. How she got there
through the iron-bound regulation which
permitted no animals to return with the
American Expeditionary Force, be they mas
cots or not, one does not have to ask who
knows the ingenuity of tn American dough-
boy that brought home one little French
laddie inside a bass drum. Suffice it that
she is there, the petted pride of the entire
division and a heroine of the war who
yields nothing to Sergeant York or General
Pershing.

Pershing's Raise

General John J. Persing as long as he
remains in active service as head OF the
American army, will receive pay amount
ing to $21, 900 a year, it was disclosed in
Washington recently.
Under the law creating the rank of
general of the army for the commander
in-chief of the American expeditionary
forces the president was authorized to fix
his allowances. The president has ruled
that General Pershing's yearly income is
to be increased from $13,500, which is
the pay of the grade, by allowances for
quarters, heat and light for e.even rooms,
to a total reaching $21, 900 per annum.

OUIPS AND OUIDDITIES

A pretty little young lady Of seven had
memorized several of the stories in her fairy
book, and was fond of pretending to read
them.
One night she was seated upon the lap of
visitor, affecting to read one of her ia
vorite tales about some wooden dolls
She was proceeding with great enthusiasm
for several moments, when the guest il
terrupted her by saying:
"But, my dear child, don't see anything
about dolls on that page"
"I kEow it," she said, promptly and sheel
ishly. 'I was reading on the wrong page.
Then, turning over several pages, she
concluded:
