Forestry Week.

By proclamation of the president this
week, April 27 to May 3, has been set apart
as Forestry Week throughout the United
States. This is a matter of national interest.
Every man and woman is victim OF the
economic loss through rapid depletion of our
forests by fire.
Forestry Week should be dedicated nor
alone to education in fire prevention, but to
constructive action Many schools and civic
organizations throughout the land have plann-
ed to combine Arbor day exercises with For
estry Week. thus focusing public attention
10 the necessity of measures to perpetuate
forest growth. forest protection and the
great numbering industry. To do this It IS nee
essary to give attention to the human ele-
ment-to the man" as we'll as to the tree.
1t is more or less authoritatively estimated
that unless the present rate of forest diminu-
ton is checked the supply OF lumber in
the United States will not last more than
Is years.
Trees which are Natures greatest sanctu-
aries, also have their sentimental values.
Trees have ever been the subject of the poets
song the shelter from the falling mists and
shade from the burning sun, the home OF
the birds and an inspiring beauty for all man
kind. "To know tree" says current au-
thor, eve must climb its trunk. taste its bark
and shake its branches. To know trees we
first must protect them"

CAREFUL, BOYS 1!

From the Tifton Gazette.
In these days OF women's rights and fire
arms the boys would do well to be careful
about promises to marry. A man promised
to marry pretty young Alabama widow,
but kept putting off the evil day. Finally the
young lady decided that she was tired OF
waiting. armed herself with shooting iron
and boarded a taxi. She met the object of
her desires and tried to persuade him into
the taxi, but he fed. A few shots stopped
him, but the officers interfered jim time to
save him. He said he couldn't marry her be
cause he was afraid OF her, and you can't
blame him.

The marriage laws in the various states
are entirely too lax and liberal in the restric-
ton of the marriageable age The Dawson
News, discussing the present laws, says;
The rapidly increasing number OF de-
pendent young widows with children has
led several states to inquire into their
marriage laws. To illustrate, a widow OF
20 with five children became a public
charge; another of Is had three children
In II states the marriageable age is fix
ed at Il years. In the United States
there are 667 900 wives who were less
than 10 years old when they married. The
survey also disclosed wide discrepancies
of ages between wives and husbands,
some of the latter being old enough to
be their wives grandfathers. Worse than
all else it is disclosed that in many in
stances girls in their teens were encour-
aged to marry by their parents.
The foregoing information exposes a
most deplorable condition in this state and
proves conclusively the utter disregard for
children by the lawmakers. No girl should
be permitted to marry under the age OF 10
or 49, Not only should the law in this state
pertaining to marriages be changed, but the
law fixing the age of consent be amended to
an age of not less than Is. For years the law
in this state was II, but after a campaign
before the legislature few years ago the
advocates of 18 years as the age of consent
compromised on the age limit of a. Anoth-
er campaign should be conducted and meas
ure presented to the legislature calling for
the age OF consent to be fixed at Is.

Diet and Long Life.

Cfamcey Depew, the most famous mona
genarian in America considers that eating is
a worse curse than drinking. He attributes
his own longevity-he was 81 on April 20
to the fact that for more than 80 years he
has eaten in moderation Mr. Depew recalls
that he has worked practically every day OF
his life, eight hours a day more, and that
he still devotes his time to business. Eating
sparingly and sleeping at least seven and
one-half hours every night he has reached
9l with his strength unimpaired and his out
look on life unchanged. His message to the
people on diet and its effects on long life
might do great good if the lesson he seeks
to teach should be applied
Mr. Depew believes in moderation in all
things. First, he gave up heavy meals OF
rich food and consumed what was only nee
essary for health and strength Next, he dis
covered that he could not smoke excessively
and be we'll He quit smoking. There came
a day later in his life when he was convinced
that wine did not agree with him. He quit
that The result of his self-control is hale
and hearty, jovial, industrious parsonage who
probably will live to be a centenarian.

What Georgia Needs.
From the jackson Progress-Argus

What Georgia needs more than any
thing else now is stability and normality.
From the farm, the village and the city
the cry has gone up to quit rocking the
boat to reduce tax burdens instead OF in
creasing them, and to permit Georgia
the progress and prosperity that is right
fully hers.-Dawson News
The average fellow welcomes the oppor-
tunity to get down to brass tacks and try to
work out his problems in the best way pos
sible. Advice is not going to cure our trou-
bles. We have had enough of that. 1t is
going to take work, favorable seasons reas-
enable tax laws and common sense economy.
Georgia is making strides every day, and
we want to see this good work continue.

Some OF the civic clubs of Georgia want
to make the highways attractive. They may
have in mind planting trees and posies along
the roads, but the Georgia motorist knows
nothing that renders road so attractive as

Wants Better Streets.

Editor Dawson News: A tourist passing
through Dawson was overheard to inquire if
a town OF this size was without a street su-
pervsor as he found practically every street
leading out of the town in deplorabe con-
dition. Especially is this true OF the one lead
ing from Main street to Americus. Richland

Georgia passenger station to the foot of the
hill will convince the most skeptical that
something should be done at once Terrell

PROPER COOKING OF
FISH is IMPORTANT

Doctor McCollum Of Johns Hopkins
discusses the Importance Of fish in
our diet and gives some points as to
proper preparation. In introducing
some recipes, he says:
"The ways in which you should cook
fish depend upon the kind of fish they
are. Oily or fat fish should not be
cooked in fat. Fat fish, such as salmon
and mackerel, are best when baked
or broiled. On the other hand, white
or lean fish, such as cod, halibut and
haddOck, may be fried or sauted, since
they are dryer. When you cook fish
in water, as boiling, you will find them
better If they are served with rich
sauces. If you bake them, they should
be basted and frequently larded.
"Steaming fish Is perhaps better
than boiling. since it does not take
away as much of the delicate flavor or
nutriment as boiling does. After the
fish is thoroughly clean, wrap it in a
piece Of gauze or cheesecloth, place it
in the steamer and steam until tender.
When done, remove the cloth and
place the fish on the platter. Steamed
fish is better with a sauce."-McCall's
Magazine.

Have You This Habit?

SUSIE TOTTLE

DOCToR WILLIAM and his wife
- were dining out one evening when
Mrs. William told the following tale:
Susie Tottle is dear, and | have
been fond Of her all my life, and yet,
when l heard of her engagement, l
wondered at the temerity of AleXan-
der Strong-for Alexander knew
Susie and her ways as well as did /
myself. Once when we were young,
Susie's father and my father had each
given US generous check and told
us to choose the place in this whole
country we'd rather go to for a
months trip. That seemed to leave
the easier part of the arrangement
certainly to us. 1t didn't take long
to choose California. We went to-
gether to an agent to buy our tickets
and make our reservations. didn't
know Susie so well in those days.
Otherwise 1 should have been dis
couraged when she asked the man If,
in case we changed our minds, we
might redeem our tickets. We had NJ
sooner left the office, in fact than we
began to change our minds! BY the
time we reached home, Florida had
become our objective, and someone
was sent down to stop proceedings to
California. Alaska, Colorado, and
Maine coast, followed each other in
quick succession. And to this day the
money 70: that trip reposes in my saw
ings bank account. Do you wonder
that 1 was skeptical about Susie Tot
ties married happiness?
'sThen l heard of her transforma-
ton. During the first month of her
marriage, it seemed, Susie had. or
dered an evening cloak. 1t happened
to arrive when her husband was home.
Susie tried on the cloak and then as
usual began to wonder about return
ing it for another.
Positively no, my dear said Alex
ander, were not going to start life
that way" Susie kept the cloak.
Alexander cured her indecision.
But ever SINCE" ended Mrs. Will
liam, Il have remembered the old
Susie when an undecided person
holds up whole theater line, or when
an indecision patient monopolizes the
new book shelf at the library or when
l see two persons held rooted in front
of each other on the street unable to
pass. Then 1t is all can do to keep
myself from telling them about Susie
Tottle and her newly acquired habit,
in moments of indecision, of DOING
SOMETHING and sticking to It."
