The Price Reaction Begins

ne TIIC6 n6- AClIVII O6SInS
General Business sagnaton has been so bad Tor the
past few weeks that the price decline in many Lines has
been heavier than many items can stand.
Such prices are naturally going to advance soon un

Of course there are others that haven't down as
far as they should and probably will go.
These facts are especially true in the building
market. !

GIVEN FAREWELL SURPRISE.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Young Honored
by Neighbors and Friends.

There was a most pleasant sur
prise party sprung on Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob Young of Locust last Sunday.
The family has for sometime been
contemplating moving to DEBORAH,
where Mr.. Young has lately pur-
chased a modern residence property.
Their many friends and ineighbors
are very sorry to see them leave a
community where they have been so
long, among the most active and re-
spected citizens, but must of course
submit to the inevitable. In order to
give the family an understanding of
the love and esteem in which they
were held, Col. Mons Tweet and Mr..
Will Kern as well as others started
a movement to give them as pleas
ant send-off as possible. Some $50
of their friends, counting old and
young assembled at the old home
stead and most thoroughly surprised
them. The ladies had as usual
brought baskets trimming over with
good things to eat. After having par
taken of the refreshments Rev. n.
Seehus for 81 years the pastor of
the German colony in the vicinity
spoke to the gathering, reminding
them of the manifold mercies of the
Lord during their sojourn in the To-
cality, and paid a special tribute to
The guests of honor, Mr.. and Mrs.
Young. He also presented them with
a purse for which they at the request
of the donors were to buy for them
selves some token of remembrance.
In rendering them this very pleas
ant surprise their friends wish to ex-
tend to them their best wishes for
their future happiness, and thank
them most sincerely for the part
they have taken in building up the
church, the school, and the social
welfare of the community.

This one is forced to agree, is most char

about. the prune? Has Watchful and pre-

forgotten or wilfully ignored the prune? Are
no bulletins to be sent out the prune'S

The apple in fact. has always had the adj

from its crate and polished and placed in a
position Of proud prominence before being
consumed. Whoever heard of a prune being &

HEALTH NURSING
BY H. Addington Bruce

BY H. Addington Bruce
r EALTH nursing, of which we hear much
nowadays, Certainly sounds like con-
tradicto1 in terms. The healthy, one
would take it, require no nursing And, in
deed, health nurses do not nurse the healthy
What they do is to go into homes where
there is sickness, and, in addition to caring for
the sick, enlghten the healthy members of the
family as to hygienic measures that will pro-
mote the recovery of the patient and help to
ward that family from ilI-health in the future.
That is to say health nurses are missionaries
as we'll as nurses. For the sake of clear1esS it
might be better to call them health missionaries
instead of calling them health nurses.
They are direct product of the preventive
medicine movement which eservedly holds a
leading place in medical theory and practice to-
day. Their special business is to make nursing
of the sick less and less necessary. Or, as
stated by Miss Barbara H. Bartlett, professor of
uublic health nursing, University of Michigan
public health nurses are altruistic Like the
sanitary engineers we are continually trying to
work ourselves out of position. Our aim is
to teach health education and right standards of
living SO as to eliminate disease"
Obviously, disease and ignorance of the ways
of right living beinp widespread, health nursing
is vocation of exceptional opportunity for
women. But it makes exceptional demands, and
no WOMAN SHOulQ lIlllk Oh engaging III IL I'LL
less she honestly feels she can meet its special
requirements.
Concerned as it mostly is with the care and
education of the poor health nursing calls for
great patience tact, and social vision on the
part of its devotees. 1t calls for real human
sympathy no less than for technical knowledge
of the principles of home and personal hygiene.
The health nurse must know how to persuade
and suggest She must have executive ability,
and an uncommon fund of common sense.
Above all, she must be a true enthusiast if she
is to kindle in those whom she inStructs a
hearty desire to give the cooperation without
which her best efforts will be frustrated.
For again and again the health nurse will
have to deal with people who not merely do
not know, but do not want to know. To rouse
such people out of their inertia is far from
the easiest of tasks, but a task that must be
done if health nursing is to justify its existence
All of which means that in health nursing
there is no place for the easily dishearte1ed,
the utra-S sensitive, the domneerng, or the self
seeking woman. Eagerness to serve should, of
course, notivate every nurse. 1t should in
especial motivate the health nurse.

THE DEVILS GOSPEL
By DR.. Frank Crane

My text this afternoon is from the gos-
pei according to the Prince of This World.
alias the Devil, as admirably expounded in
one of the newspapers of the U. S. A. in
an article by one c. B. Evans He says, re
European debts and other international
things:
CDR Walter Lichtenstein, executive Sec
rotary of the First National bank, who has
broad knowledge of such matters, sug-
gests a conference of nations that would
take up the whole subject of international
debts and propose a disposal of them from
the viewpoint of the good of all mankind.
'This may be pronounced an admirable
idea with just one qualification-the
European diplomats are so much our supe-
riors in international financial affairs and
in deyiltry on a large scale that we should
likely be driven into some small hole and
fastened UP with a lot Of onerous engage
ments.
eve are so infused. in our relations
to other powers, with girlish sweetness,
idealism and vague love for mankind, that
we would be tender morsel for the big
mouth of the British lion or an attractive
conquest for the finished young gentlemen
of France. That is fair conclusion from
many of the results of the peace confer
ence."
One of the things mortal, at which the
high gods chuckle, is the complacency with
which they who hold such views call them
selves practical" while those who believe
in the power of goodness, kindness, polite
ness, forgiveness, faith, and similar Sunday
school stuff are dubbed "idealists,' theor-
ists," ''visionaries' and the like.
The commonest delusion in the world is
that "God is on the side of the strongest
battalions."
The theory that might, power, military
organization. shrewdness and cunning get
things done and have their way is nothin g
but theory, a strange and persistent in
sanity.
Anybody old enough to read history
ought to know that such forces never have
succeeded. Each deluded generation, CROP
ing in the fog, believes this devils lie, tries
it, and goes to smash.
Nineveh, Persia, Babylon, Egypt Greece,
Rome, among the ancients; Spain and Ma
poleon of yesterday, and the car and the
kaiser and the house of Hapsburg among
the moderns all trusted this, and went
down to that hell that is yawning for the
next fool nation that wants to try it.
To be just and gentlemanly. generous
and trusting, unselfish and devoted to the
common veal of humanity, is quite as nee
essary in a nation which is million groups
of men, as it is in any one man.
AS the civilized and forbearing man
has driven the savage, the gunman, and
the bully off the highway of government,
and into the by-ways of crime, so the de-
cent and unselfish nations will out-popu1ate
and eventually rule the swashbucklng
tribes.

PRESS TALK IN GEORGIA
BY JACK PATTERSON
Nature Doing Her DUTY

1t is pleasantly apparent that nature is per-
forming her entire duty these beautiful spring
days There has been little winter weather
this year and forecasts indicate continuation
OF the warm sunshine during the remainder
of March. The Moultrie Observer says in a
brief sermon on Nature:
Nature is doing her part these days.
Where man is doing his portion of the work.
there is quick response. Where man falls
down on the job there is bare spot Nature
is causing the trees to bud and the flowers
to bloom, but nature cannot make a beautiful
lawn, or an attractive vacant lot where man
fails to do his share of the work. If we can
get some man power hitched UP with warm
days, sunshine and showers, we can make
Moultrie beautiful. If we fail to get the HUI
man cooperation we will have lop-sided
city. Look close around you and see if nature
is getting the cooperation needed. Have you
done your part in making your street and
your premises attractive?"
What is true down in Colquitt county is
equally true in other sections of the state.
Cooperate with nature and the results will
be beneficial and satisfactory
