GEoRGIA'S DEATH RATE

Here in Georgia the death rate
is lower than the average for the
whole United States. 1t is 10.4,
which is lower than that of any
other state in the South, and
much lower than that Of some Of
the other states, as for example,
Maine and New Hampshire. The
rate for the whole country last
year was III in each 1000 pop
ulation. Georgia has by no
means done what she can to re-
duce her death rate; if one-half
as much money per capita were
spent here as in New York, for
instance, this state might come
very close to being the healthiest,
according to statistics, of the
whole nation,
This is but another of Geor-
gia's advantages. The trouble
with Georgia is not in its climate,
nor in its soil, not in its water
supply, not in its mean, tempera-
ture, not in in anything that ma
ture has provided, but, to be
frank, the whole trouble is in its
people. 1t has not done what it
could have done to make its prod
ucts demanded the world over,
because its people have fallen
down on the job.-Thomasville

NOBILITY

A million dollar jazz palace,
where unemployed counts and ba-

partners and hosts, will be built in
New York.

we are sorry for nobility forced 70

GROOMING

AT an Ohio college recently, it
was reported that sophomore men
had decided not to shave during ex-
animation week, and women stu
dents not to use cosmetics. The idea
being that they could concentrate
better if they didn't devote any men
tai effort to beauty.
Now, that might be all right the
oretically with a Hindu hermit delv-
ing into mysticism. We can't
vouch for women and the personal
effect they get from identifying.
But we believe that a shave, and
haircut, in addition to stimulate
ing self respect, also stimulate the
processes of the brain. That's where
our last dollar would 60, if 'hroke. +"

WEATHER

Beginning about the time &C the
birth of Christ, the world had very
wet weather for several centuries.

900 or 700 years. Weather fluc-
tuates in long cycles. At present
it looks as if at least the middle
ATTITUDES of our Northern Hemis-
phere are slowly passing out of a
dry period that has prevailed for
the past 200 years or more. So says
the authority, DR.. Willis Luther
Moore, in "The New Air World"
Much of our weather originates
somewhere in the Far North. So
weather observations up there will
be the most valuable feature of the
coming airplane and dirigible flights

HiiNtS
BY the
Father Of
Physical
Culture,

When the processes Of curing
disease and building the body be-
come as scientifically accurate as
mechanics, We will learn that all
parts of the human mechanism
must be treated from the aliment.
airy canal. There may be u few
exceptions to this rule, but nearly
all complaints have their origin in
this complicated organ. A clean
alimentary canal means cleanliness
throughout the entire interior sur
face of the body.
Many are under the impression
that they are clean after the eN-
terror surface of the body has been
scrubbed and cleaused. But the
interior surface of all the various
tubes within the body, ranging IN
size from the capillaries to the
stomach and colon, is perhaps
more than one hundred times
greater than the exterior surface
Of the body. OF how much greater
importance, therefore, is interior
than mere surface cleanliness!
If you could cleanse your ALI
mentary canal throughout its en-
tirety with almost the same ease
that you wash your face, you
would probably consider yourself
possessed of an extraordinarily
valuable piece of knowledge and
! now intend to present a method
of accomplishing this very thing.
The cleansing process is so direct
in it's effects and the results are so
sure that il can be stated without
fear OF contradiction that it will
absolutely cleanse every part of
the alimentary canal and that
failure in its use is practically
impossible. This process is as
ISOLATED too, with a vitality build
ing and mUscle-strengthening pro-
gram which also Invaluable
The method combines the drink
ing of hot water with exercises for
stimulating and Strengthening the
spine, the exercises which we have
shown for the spine being par
ticularly useful for the purpose.
AS the treatment can only be
taken on an empty stomach, the
most suitable time for it is inn
mediately on rising in the morn
ing. When you are ready to be-
gin the treatment, you must have
at least two quarts of hot water at
hand. Take it as hot as you can
without slipping. You should be
able to drink it down as you
would when thirsty, Tt can be
favored with q little salt if pre-
ferred, but add nothing which is
in any way nourishing Begin by
drinking a half pint, or a pint and
then proceed. to the exercises.

Oh ladies who seek for peek at a sheik,
Who lives his life rudely and rawly
A Bedouin grand in the land of the sand,
Consider the words of Miss hawley.
"a sheil' she reports SIS geek who's antique,
And black a heavy cgarro,
patriarch dark who, as you may remark,
Is not like young Ramon Navarro"
How sad is the shock to the feminine flock
To find that the sheik in his glory,
OF whom writers tells is WE'LL Just SELL
And only exists in a story
The deep wrinkles streak the bleak check the shei
Who isn't a bold young decever
But old as the hills Why, he kills all the thrills,
This anteduvian beaver.
So ladies' who yearn and who burn to discern
A sheik who's torrid bambno
Don't roam DER the foam but remain here at home
And worship Rodof Valentino

Romance with a sheik? See the films once a week

!. q. & Town LIS a LIVE

:
reticalIy, again. The fact IS there here
are millions Of tons Of good ruff
fare for COWS rotting IN fields
IN Georgia and other Southern
etatae and millions Of acres Of
good pastures wastlng--enou9h
in Georgia to feed the additional
ON ooo cows needed to supply
Georoia with her dairy products.
On example among hundreds
,boyre how this thing of cows and
foods works out in actual prac-
tico. 4 dairy farmer by the
name Of Brewster near Newman,
Ca. 2 recent convert to the cow
bog-hen program, has been mar
keting his milk in Atlanta, keep
ing an accurate cost account on
each COW. He has raised his ruff
fage and hay and bought his con-
centrates. His experience taught
him first, that since he has no
additional labor costs to carry, it
paid him to milk with just the
flow he got from his homegrown
pastures and homegrown hay.
But, he found later, it paid still
better to supplement his hay and
ruffage with prepared COW feed
which he bought from the local
dealer. In the same experiment
he learned the big market price
he would be receiving through the
cows if he were to raise these
self-same feeds; and now he is
growing all his feeds. If this
farmer had followed the Slogan
the theoretically correct slogan
in the abstract, he would not have
a dairy herd today, and accord
ing to his own statement had he
not begun milking his cows when
he did, without waiting for the
feed" his cotton failure would
have put him out of business and
he would have lost his farm. Thus
the COW somehow begets the feed.
The plain fact is that cream
cries and cows and feed all come
together. All of which proves
that there is more danger Of 60
ing too slow than too fast in
establishing the "cow-hog-hen'
plan of farming to furnish OPP
Grating costs for the production
Of cotton or peanuts or what not,
and to insure the farm operator
against the misfortune of a loss
of his money crop.
As Mr.. Abbott SO emphatic
Ally points out, dairying, as we
should like to see it in Sumter,
s a supplemental crop, side
inc, and not ALL DIARYlNG.
Give every cotton farmer a
few cows from which to sell
milk, and you have placed in
lis hands weekly cash income;
you have enabled him to en-
rich his cotton lands from his
fertilizer and you have provid-
ed him with SKINNED milk on
which to fatten hogs and poul-
try,
The hands of the farmers are
led until we have worked out
a plan for financing him in the
purchase Of his cows, and also
provided a creamery where he
AN sell his milk each day.
1t seems to US that the past
hree years have been suffi-
iently hard on farmer and mer-
chant to cause both to meet this
source Of financial salvation
without one days delay.
