BEAUTY
TO OUR CITY
Lawn AT Woman's Club Being Made
Very Attractive.

Already the work of identifying
the city is assuming pleasing visible
proportions. The uptown parks the
Main street parkway, and the Wo-
mans Club lawn destined to be pic
lures of restful delight to carewoin
business eyes, as well as centers of
artistic beauty in the orderliness of
the newly improved streets, have
been in progress of development dur
ing the past week.
The club lawn, the property of Mr..
T. G. Owen, and expressing that gen
tleman's artistic views Of ornament
tai yards, has been embellished with
Towering shrubs, evergreen speci-
mems, and a privet hedge, arranged in
formal outline to conform with the
contiguous buildings.
The botanical names of the many
plants contributing to the beautiful
effect might be confusing to the lay
man. but before many days elapse,
when a Southern sun has brought out
their rich foliage, flower lovers will
recognize the bridal wreath, althea
japanese snowballs, and wegelia OF
their grandmother's day. Fancy leaf
calladiums in the upper tier, and Ger.
man iris in the lower will surround
the fountain. The outer plots, adj
jutting the street, will have cannas

Quite effective, too, are the rustic
stepping stones that lead in winding
way to the north entrance of the
club.

CONFEDERATE
MONUMENT
(By Mrs. Lucy Matthews.l


The location Of the Confederate
monument, the chiseled inspiration,
that perpetuates in imperishable
marble, the sacrifice and the glory of
"The Lost Cause" and the devotion,
and loving appreciation of the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy, is again the
subject of controversy.
The majority of the Daughters
who donated the monument to the
county, has always been anxious to
have it at the intersection Of Main
and Market streets, and only con-
sented to temporary location at its
present site, hoping, eventually, to
carry out their first plans.
A fund to move the monument has
been the goal toward which their fin
ancial efforts have been working for
some time That amount has been
secured, but, in the mean time, the
personnel of the council has changed,
and the present incumbents entertain
different views from their predeces-
sors.
They maintain that the cistern that
underlies the exact intersection Of
Main and Market streets, which pre-
vents the location of the monument
there, is a necessary adjunct to the
city, and that the former sire of the
fountain is necessary in the growing
traffic of the uptown district.
Why not let the monument remain
where it is. The chief work of the
U. D. c. is to inculcate in the grow
ing youths of the land correct his
torical facts. There is not a citizen
of the county who does not at some
time during the year, pass his ounty
Court House.
The Confederate soldier is brighten
ing the pages of history with the halo
of glory emanating from his match
less defeat.
Why not let the beautiful work of
art that proclaims his undying fame
create it's own atmosphere.

PARENT-TEACHER ACCOCIATION
OF LEE HIGH HOLDS
MEETING

The Parent Teacher Association of
the S, D. Lee High School held it's
regular meeting last Wednesday af-
ternoon, at the appointed hour in the
High School auditorium.
Preceding the program which had
been arranged the ladies held a short
business session to discuss the action
of the board of trustees in Diminishing
Superintendent Meadows.
Mr.. Meadows courtesy to the men,
bers of the association, and his hearty
cooperation with them in all of their
work for the schools has been so
genuine and conscientious, that the
association wished to go on record as
Iupholding Mr.. Meadows and. there
fore, proposed and adopted the fol
lowing resolutions, offered by Mrs.
c. H. Jacob:
ldMadame President:
/ move that this Association go on
record as upholding Mr.. Meadows,
who has brought our schools up to
the present standard where they are
now recognized throughout the en-
tire South.
The High School is now rated as
A No. 1 School, and pupils gradua-
ting from it have no trouble in enter
ing the best colleges in the land. We
think this is due entirely to the eff
lficiency and untiring efforts Of Mr..
Meadows.
1 We think it unwise to make a
change at this time, and wish to
protest the action of the board, and
we ask for public statement from
them giving their reasons for their
action"
Fearing, however, that the action
of the board had been prompted by
some disagreement of policy, vital to
the needs of the schools, it was NOV
ed, voted upon and carried that the
trustees be invited and requested to
meet jointly with the three associa-
tions, to discuss the matter fully, in

to mothers of growing children, and
some of her suggestions for building
up the little ones are given for the
benefit of those who missed Miss
Lambert's addresses.
Miss Lambert found so per cent
under weight in the city schools,
varying from / to 30 pounds below
normal. A few pounds below normal
does not indicate disease. 1t may
be the result Of superintendent activ-
ity but it more than probably repre-
sents weakened constitution, and for
that reason should arouse the watch
full care of parents.
Some of Miss Lambert's sugges-
tons are:
First, the greatest essential Of good
health and vitality, plenty Of sleep.
Next, fresh water in quantities; from
a to glasses day is not too much
for young child. Plenty of milk,
preferably sweet; plenty of vegeta-
bles and fruit, and we'll cooked oat-
meal Avoid all fried foods, sweets
and pickles between meals. Children
greatly underweight, should not be
over-active.
The following figures are from the
Lee High tabulation: Three hundred
and seven enrolled; 300 examined SO,
defective eyes; 26, defective ears; 13
with adenoids; 81 with enlarged ton
sils; 63 needed dental attention; 1872
were underweight; 100 per cent were

DIR. HORNER
VISITS SCHOOLS
Examines Many Students Here and
Elsewhere for Physical Defects.

The work of the Child's Welfare
Bureau made good progress the past
week, the pupils Of Lee High School,
Black Greek and Cherokee having
had physical examination, while Miss
Eva Lambert, nutrition expert, de-
livered most interesting and enlight-
ening addresses at Franklin, Barrow
and Lee High Schools.
DIR. Horner visited Lee High School
on Wednesday and Thursday, exam
ming 300 pupils out Of the 307 en-
rolled. DIR. Horner found that the
physical condition of the pupils com
pared very favorably with that of
other schools over the State.
The physical feature, demanding
most attention and correction, Doctor
Horner found to be, incorrect breath
ing, the prevalence of which was so
general that she determined to write
an article upon the subject, which
will appear in next Wednesdays Dis
patch.
The inspection of lungs was neces-
sarily imperfect from the fact that
so many pupils had colds. However,
the schools will have the advantage
of later inspection from the State
tuberculosis specialist who will visit
these schools when the winter colds
have cleared away.
DR.. Horner was very much gratifi-
ed with the enthusiastic interest and
cooperation which she received, and

was undertaken--to develop citiz-

An Editorial On
Advertising

iii LNAAeUA AaA VII
q Advertising
French women have long been fam
GUS for making money 60 far.
From childhood they are trained in
all the departments of that universal
and most exciting business of women,
the spending of money-the making
Of ends meet.
1 In the vast majority of Instances
this demands just as much adeptness,
just as much judgment and care, as
the masculine business of making
money.
So let US give due credit to the
women of France. Her garments are
fresh, dainty and of the latest fash
ion Her hats are models of bewitch-
ing becomingness and good style.
And yet she spends in season far
less than her European sisters of the
same financial and social standing.
Also she prides herself on the ach-
ievement.
What are her methods?
Surprisingly simple.
She uses her eyes and her brain.
She knows values when she sees them
and never neglects a buying oppor-
tmity. But by no means is she with
out rival in this today.
Merchants whose judgment means
something say that the modern
American woman is without peer
as a discriminating purchaser-that
her alertness to price advantage, her
keenness in questions of style and
quality are unmatched by any other
nation.
They attribute this development of
recent years to the education they
themselves have provided-the educa
ton of advertising-and they offer
ample evidence that such is the fact.
A review Of this evidence would
be lengthy and tiresome, and we can
more easily find the truth for our
selves. Make it your own case.
You know that reputable merchants
in these days, deal with truth in their
advertising--that when values are
tated they are legitimate values
that when certain savings are offered
those savings actually exist.
You no longer have to depend en-
ltirely on your own judgment. 1t the
article you seek is advertised, the
reputation of the advertiser is your
guarantee of it's worth.
So it may be well said that we of
America are expert shoppers-that
we get the most for our money-be-
cause we follow advertising. This is
palpably the truth.
But that doesn't mean that we are
constant seekers of price concessions.
The benefits of advertising are as
great in several other directions. 1t
gives, for example, authentic style
information and promotes high stand
ards of quality.
4 SO it is apparent that the women
best equipped to do the most eff
ficient shopping for herself and her
home is she who keeps closest watch
On the printed offerings of merchants
and manufacturers.
/ Advertising spells style, economy,
abundance and opportunity. 1t gath
,ers the good of the world into hand
full of printed pages.
! If you are one of the few who have
not learned of the mutual value and
benefit Of advertising it would pay
at this particular time to read the
advertising columns carefully and
continuously.
