IF you ever had to confine
yourself to a liquid diet, you
know how speedily 1t became
monotonous and If you have had
to give It to your children you will
recall how they have come
honestly to rebel against it.
This is largely because those
who administer a liquid diet too
often pay little attention TO the
patients other dietetic needs.
Some patients merely need q
rest Of only a day or two on
stimulating liquids, but others
require q highly nutritious liquid
diet for long periods, or they
need liquids between meals.
Others again may refuse their
food and need an attractive liquid
with q piquant flavor to induce
them to eat. Still others need
fluid.
All these cases require different
treatment which calls for care
and Imagination, but not neces.
sariIy for much additional work.
Milk, for instance, is inevitable
in a liquid diet, but one very
quickly tires of 1t. The follow

QUEER SORT
OF FROG

a BEAUTIFUL illustration Of
IA the process Of evolution Is az
forded by the discovery of a frog
that has reached the state Of
maturity without having been a
tadpole.
This particular frog was dis
covered In Corona, an isle OF the
Caribbean Sea. It's environment
Is the cause Of the frog being
able TO skip the tadpole stage
and emerging from the shell as a
minute frog.
The hollows of the forest that
might form pools in level coun-
tries will not hold water in
Corona. Hence a tadpole could
not exist. So the baby frog re.

Jealousy is a common human

Jealousy and love are direct

mote the welfare and happiness
OF the beloved. Jealousy insists
upon tyrannical possession. Love

Is worse than useless. Try to be

Jealousy always perplexes be-

What's TO be done about the
evil passion called Jealousy?
Just one thing: Root it from your
nature.
How can this be done?
You can guard your conscious
ness. rejecting every jealous sug-
gestion. admitting only thoughts
OF trust, generosity, and whole
hearted desire TO promote the
happiness OF your beloved.
IL this seems tmpossibly hard,

In other words, act as though

Strickland Returns
From North GEORGIA

Chief B. T. Strickland returned
from North Georgia Tuesday, having
spent his vacation with relatives in
the northern part of the State.
The Chief is a close political OBJ
server and doesn't fail to ask ques-
lions when opportunity offers. It is
his opinion that John Holder will
sweep the State, as every county
north of Macon to the Tennessee line
appears to be lined up behind the
chairman of the State Highway Com
mission.
In speaking of the condition of
the roads, the chief says, "It is amaz-
ing the amount of road work being
done. Everywhere you go you are
detoured on account of new construc-
ton and it is a credit to the State
Highway department to travel on de-
tours of such well kept roads. Every
detour shows with what care and con-
sideration the department is looking
after the inter-county travel, leaving
nothing undone to make travel posi-
BILE under the most trying circum-
stances. want to also emphasize
that the Central Dixie Highway from
Hawkinsville to Bowen's Mill is one
of the finest stretches Of sand clay
roads in the entire state-not bump
the whole distance. Fitzgerald
should also renew some of their
signs along the road from Macon to
Fitzgerald. It's an advertisement
that pays big dividends to any town."
Eugene Talmadge is also the popu-
lar candidate for Commissioner Of
Agriculture in every county that I
visited, says the Chief.

So, just as darkness was descend

ONLY THREE AND A HALF
MILES REMAIN ON WAYCROSS
ROUTE.

Waycross, Ga.-Only three and a
half miles now remain unpaved on
the Central Dixie Highway between
Waycross and the Florida line, &C.
cording to statement by w. NJ.
Greathouse, resident engineer for the
Finley Construction Company, which
is doing the paving.
Unless rains interfere, this will be
completed by September 1, giving a
paved highway from Waycross to
Jacksonville. Sept. 10 is to be big
highway day for the Waycross terri
tory. On this day the contract will
be let for the grading and structure
of seven and half miles on the Bee
line Highway from Hazlehurst toward
Alma. At the same time the contract
will be let for the grading and con.
struction of several miles on this
same highway from Alma TOWARD
Hazlehurst.
Another contract to be let Sept. 1O
is that for the grading and construc-
ton of the Wilson Highway from
Bailey to the Altamaha river. 1t is
probable that at the same time the
contract for the grading and con-
struction of the Wilson Highway
from Bailey to the Bacon county line
will be let.

CIVIC COMMITTEES MEET
WITH SCHOOL BOARD
DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC DIS
CUSSED, ACTION DEFERRED
BY BOARD.

A special meeting of the Board OF
Education Thursday evening was at
tended by Mesdames G. E. Kicker,
Sam Abrams and G. R. Womble, for
the Woman's Club, and Messrs. Burr
Stokoe and o. L. Bradshaw, for the
Kiwanis, and Gelders, for the Lions.
The establishment of a department
of music in the several schools of the
city, in connection with the Commu-
nifty Band, was discussed, arguments
being made for it's establishment by
Mr.. o Gelders, Mr. Bradshaw, Mr..
Stokoe, Mrs. Kicker and Mrs.
Abrams.
The appropriations for this term
having been made and the tax levy
advertised formed the principal OBJ
stacle to the adoption of the depart
ment by the Board, which in gen.
eral way appeared to favor a musical
department for all class rooms.
Definite action on the proposal was
deferred.
