MUCH LIKE WESTERN WTY j Tiflis, Capital of New Georgian Re- ! public, by No Means Typical of the East. Mr. Melville Chater, recording Ira- I pressions in the National Geographic i Magazine, admits that he was sur- i prised when he arrived in Tiflis, cap- i ital of the new Georgian republic. He j had expected a city more suggestive of the East, as the Western mind pictures it; but the Golovinsky prospekt, the main thoroughfare through the heart of the city, stretched before him, 44as handsome a bit of modern metropolitanism as can be found anywhere," C-V> rvTlQ r?T"l Olid WIU ild icoiauicuno, ~ t , what used to be the viceregal palace but which now flies the standard of the new nation, suggested at once the French adjective "chic." More than that, this new capital was brilliant with uniforms, Russian, Georgian, Armenian. British, and most picturesque of all, the Caucasian costume, with its broad-shouldered, wash-waisted coat, high, heelless boots, and astrakhan cap. One marveled at the load of 1 weapons that completed it; a sword rattling and clanking with the wearer's martial stride, a brace of pistols, a pair of daggers, and a collection of what looked like enormous fountain pens hung across the Caucasian bosom, but which turned out to be hollow tubes intended to be loaded with powder and shot. One must add stiff mustaches and a close-shaven skull to picture this Georgian in all his glory on the Golovinsky prospekt v?tc nofiAnol norvitsjl Plothinc for VI in^ uamunu vui/iiux ?? n civilians is scarce and expensive in Tiflis. but the cast-off uniforms of military officers are for sale, and many a citizen in need of a new suit had / bought himself an old uniform. i ARE RETURNING TO FARMS Not Many of Uncle Sam's Fighters Have Succumbed to the Lure of the City. Of America's mighty war forces of more than 4.500,000 men, 1.200,000, It is estimated, came from farms. Records in the bureau of war-risk insurance in Washington indicate that these farm-bred or farm-raised boys carried ' government life insurance amounting to over $10,000,000,000. During the earlier demobilization it was so difficult to keep track of the discharged service men that it seemed as though a very large proportion of them dW not return to their former addresses or homes. So many of the service men who had come from the farms seemed to be listening to the call of the city that it was feared more than one-half of them were not going back to the farms. Later the tide of migration set in toward the country, - ? ? - ii?x xi innn ;n and now it is oenevea mat me lusa. ju " man power to the farms, as the result of former sen-ice men settling: elsewhere, may not be more than 500,000. Dead Towns Awaken. Dead towns of the West are coming to life as a result of the silver boom. There were towns in Colorado and Nevada and Arizona, which, under the influence of silver in those days after the Civil war, burst into wild, rich life that has no parallel in history. Clouds of dust are rising along the trails that lead across sagebrush plains. The mining engineer, presentday successor of the prospector and his burro, is astir in the silver coun. try. They are going back to the old shafts that yielded wealth when silver was above a dollar. With the advance In mining processes in the last four decades the chances of profits are many times multiplied. Keeps Windows Free From Frost. In these days, when Jack Frost is i busy drawing pictures on the windows, many beautiful works appear over night, but when he completely covers ; the v\ass he is not so welcome. The ? 0 , __ - ? , j Russians have a very effective way of preventing the obscuring of the windows by frost. In Russia the walls of the buildings are very thick, and J double windows are fitted to the houses, set about 13 inches apart The window sill between the outer and inner windows is decorated with bright green moss, and hidden there is a dish filled with calcium chloride, which absorbs all the moistore and thus effectually prevents the formation of ice during the long, cold winter. Farming Fish. The International Association of Game, Fish and Conservationist Commissioners, at their recent convention " in Louisville, pledged themselves to < use every influence possible toward 1 stimulation of a nation-wide move- * ment looking to the construction of fish ponds upon farms in which desir- . able species of game and food fishes, l especially the basses and the sun- . fishes, can be propagated for recrea- i tlon and for food, at a comparatively 1 small expense when contrasted with J the vast benefits which wift result 4 therefrom. ] ?- M!

And in some parts of Alaska thermometers are absolutely useless, t> best of them freezing up and refusing to tell how cold it is.

A FAMILY MEDICINE In Her Medlar's Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black* Draught Relief From Headache, Malaria, Chilis, Etc. Ringgold, Gay? Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: "I am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact, It was one of our family medicines. Also In my mother's home, when I was a chili When any of us children complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty reg--1 ? ? ? ?

Just a dose of BlackDraught when not so well saves a lot of days In bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has been in use for many years in the treatrant of stomach, liver and 'oewel troubles, and the popularity which it low enjoys is proof of its merit If your liver is not doing its duty, you will suffer .from such disagreeable symptoms as headache^ biliousness, constipation, indigestion, etc., and unless something is done, serious trouble may result Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try it.
