Among the important news items of the day, featured by the so-cail- ed news bureaus. is an account of six-months-o!d kid in Alabama being baptized with water from the River Jordan. The water had been in bottle for something like a year. The effect on the audience (whom we presume were not fur nished with gas masks) when the bottle of putrid aqua Jordan was opened, is not told. Nor does the dispatch describe the effect on the kid when the parson soused the mess over its mug. However, the importance to the world of the bare details given is apparent.

THE TRAGEDY OF BLUNDERS
VHTHEN this appears in print 1t Is to be
Nv hoped that the extra session will be
W over and the members will have time
and opportunity to review the legislative
events of 1928. Shakespeare wrote what Is
known as the COMEDY of Errors. The
Georgia legislature has performed, not a
comedy but a. tragedy, to be long remember
ed by the plain people of Georgia. They
will have another fling at the midsummer
session of 1924, but the prospects are gloomy
for future improvement.
Georgia is witnessing a sight never before
seen since General Oglethorpe landed on a
bluff which the native redskins called Yam
| acraw. We have had variety of governors
but never before Save we had one who UNI
dertook to engage teachers for the members
of a general assembly.
His virtual confession that he was as ig-
| nOrant as the majority of them (of what
! should be done as to tax question:, does not
| help the situation particle. It was the vot-
ers of the state who selected representatives
| and the constitution of Georgia expects the
| legislature to do the lawmaking and likewise
| directs the governor to execute them. If
| they failed by refusal or by ignorance to do
! what they were elected to do, then the gov
| ernor should have done his allotted work
| and allowed them to retire and go home, as
| they did at the regular summer session of
1928. He has a man-sized job to attend to
| his plainly stated duties.
The spectacle witnessed in q dozen locali-
| Ties Wnere the governor TOOK the part or
| drum major to introduce the doctors, the
| editors and his, picked few from the mem

| and the teachers must stir them up and then
| the mules would vote in one body to repeal
| a tax bill and vote in the other body to pass
| an income tax bill, and thus keep the thing
in politics for another twelve months at

FATIGUE EFFECTS
BY H. Addington Bruce
TO THOSE who persistently lead an over
strenuous life never easing down even

|NO THOSE who persistently lead an over
/ strenuous life, never easing down even
IN their leisure hours, would issue a
warning that they are running a risk not
only of becoming exceedingly nervous but of
mourning disorders far more serious than
nervousness.
Few people really appreciate the part
played by fatigue in predsposing to certain
diseases. One of these is that dread disease
tuberculosis.
1t now is well known that at some time or
other, usually in childhood, almost every.
body is attacked by the tuberculosis germ.
Inc vital resistance of most people is such
That they recover from the attack without
even knowing that they have been tubercular
nevertheless, even in such cases recovery
does not mean that the germs of tuberculosis
have been expelled from the body. They
have simply been held in check. and under
IaVorlng circumstances may once more reas-
sert themselves. Fatigue, especially the fa-
tgue induced by long-continued over-strenu-
BUSINESS, constitutes one of these favoring
circumstances.
many are the young men and women, 1t is
safe to say, who would not have had to wage
long, and often losing, battle against tuber-
culos1s had they only refrained from being
perpetually on the go, perpetually in state
OF fatiguing tension If rest is one of the
prime requirements in the treatment and
cure of tuberculosis, it is for many people
Fatigue, for that matter. predsposes to
infectious diseases in general. AS pointed
out by DR.. w. G. Thompson:
Fatigue is known to diminish the num-
Der of antibOdies in the blood, and hence to
increase it's susceptibility and lower its re-
sistance to infectious disease such as grip,
pneumonia, and tuberculosis General fa-
tigue further acts by inhibiting digestion and
ultimately interfering with nutrition
Serious malnutriton, other students OF the
subject have emphasized, is a possible re-
sultant Of chronic fatigue. The world is fun
of people who would be better nourished,
consequently far less underwe1ght, If they
would regularly. give thems Ives relaxation
and rest.
OF n consequences Of chronic fatigue
noted by various medical men are dyspepsia,
anema and heart disease. Long ago, 1t
may be added, Sir James Paget was quoted
as saying:
"You will find that fatigue has larger
share in the promotion or transmission OF
disease than any other single casual cond1-
ton you can name"
But why multiply instances and quota
tons? Surely enough has already been said
to compel appreciation of the truth taat to
over-exert oneself day in and day out, in
work or in play, or in both work and play,
is to endanger ones health, perhaps ones
life itself.

MY FAVORlTE STORIES

Chauncey Olcott, the actor, tells a
story of two Irishmen who attended the

slim young American athlete broke the
worlds pole-vaulting record.
AS the applause following this achieve
ment died away one of the Irishmen re-
marked:

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. II. FELTON,

sale Georgia was the border state and the
land was included in so-called Georgia limits.
United States Senator James Gum, who was
a candidate for reelection, chaperoned the
movement. Four companies sprung up to
bid for the land whenever the state of Geor-
gia passed the sale act. One, the largest,
was called the Georgia company-Gunn's
company. Another the Tennessee company,
and the third was headed by Georgia-Missis-
sippi company, in which Wade Hampton, OF
South Carolina, was interested, and the
fourth was known as the Upper Mississippi
company. Together, they offered 100000
for the tract, claiming 22,000,0O0 acres. Aft
er it was sold it expanded in size to 100000
900 acres. The sale act bargained away
twice the land at half the price offered. 1t
was passed as an act to pay state troops with
the money obtained always and forever
riding the pension idea to the last ditch.)
The historian records: ga lying title was
made to cover the swindle." A principally
was sold at about an eighth of cent per
acre. The senate of Georgia was composed
of twenty members, ten voted for the sale,
eight against it.
There were thirty-four in the house, nine
teen voted for the sale and nine against it.
Except one man Gas later proven) every one
in house or senate who voted to sell was
bribed with cash, or large grants of land or
negro slaves. All this and very much moro
is set down in volumes called American
state papers and to be found in the house
library in Washington City.
The story was so interesting to me I
copied down the names, the amount of bride
received, etc. "A judge of the supreme court
In washington was one of the gang, James
Wilson by name. a signer of the Declaration
of independence, also member of continental
convention, in continental days He became
leader and was allowed million acres of
the land to his share. Nathaniel Pendleton,
district judge in Georgia, was another. Also
Andrew McAlister, district attorney. There
were two superior court judges in Georgia,
Judge Stith accepted $4,000 in cash and
the bribed members pledged their votes to
elect him the next governor of Georgia
When the reaction came the people of tha
state rose in wrath and indignation at their
betrayal. The legislature, holding it's session
at Louisville, Jefferson county, carried all
the "dockyments" out in the open and drew
down t1re from heaven to obliterate them.
The governor who signed the bill which
is so odious to recollect, never recovered
from the faint of the affair, but was sue
! cessful in hiding up his tracks, if he made
, crooked ones.
All this happened in Georgia In two
general elections the voters of Georgia voted
pIaln-footed to repeal the tax equalization

man. His address to Congress on Thurs
day was as plain as his silence has been
profound. 1t was brave, courageous, states
manlike, in candor and frankness a credit
to the high office he'occupies, and to Calvin
Coolidge himself, highly commendable ut
terance.
Mr.. Coolidge's position on the issues con-
fronting the American people-domestic and
international, big and little-is unmistakable.
Whether one. agrees or disagrees with his
conclusions and recommendations, one can
not fail to applaud the boldness with which
he announces his attitude.
The Presidents position toward World war
veterans is typical of his whole address. He
is opposed to granting bonus to the veter-
ans, and he says so in so many words. There
Is no quibbling, no ambiguity, no possibility
of his attitude being misunderstood or mis-
construed
The President covered wide range of
subjects in his address, but he wasted no
words. His address was short and to the
point, quickly read and easily understood.
The multitude of matters discussed by Mr..
Coolidge can not fail to impress the public
with the Importance of the session of Con-
gress just convened. and with the further fact
will take time to give to the many subjects

The League of Nations, says the President
is dead issue so far as he is concerned;
although the League exists as a foreign agen-
cy, and he Is hopeful that it will be helpful.
He sees no reason to limit the country's
freedom and independence of action by join
ing it, and he thinks the nation will do we'll
to recognize this basic fact in all national
affairs.
The avoidance OF permanent political al
liances calculated to sacrifice our proper In.
dependence, and the peaceful settlement OF
controversies between nations are laid down
by Mr.. Coolidge as the guiding principles OF
Americas foreign policy. Being in accord
with these principles, Mr.. Coolidge declared
, that he favors the establishment of World
Court of Justice.

posal that this Government give it's sup

san question. 1t should not assume an
artificial Importance. The court is
merely a convenient instrument OF adj
justment to which we could go, but to
which we could not be brought. 1t should
be discussed with entire candor, not by a
political but by judicial method, with
out pressure and without prejudice.

@. What precious stone brings the highest
price? r. B.
A. While it is possible that the emerald
tops the list of costly gems, fine rubtes are
the scarcest of precious stones. Were they
the vogue, they would bring higher prices
than emeralds.
@. Did Christopher Columbus receive pay
ment for his discovery of America? N. H. S.
A. The sum he received amounted to about
1920.
Q. Why did the Egyptians use beetles AZ
settings for jewelry? 1. G.
A. The scarab, beetle, was regarded in
Egypt as a symbol of the resurrection. 1t
was also a symbol of the sun god, and was
widely used as a talisman by the Egyptians.
Gem stones cut with the markings of the
beetle are also known as scarabs and were
used as talismans.
@. When were envelopes first used? G. T.
A. Envelopes began to be used in England
and in the United States in the decade from
1910 to 1850.
