ut seems to me he has every reason

marked preference for his company,

you wherever you wanted to go and

DON'T Battle TOO MUCa
Prof. Cheeky Advances the Theory D

IL Is Very Injurious. 81 4
Bathing and the use of soap. rsayd
Prof Cheeky, sis 40 per cent more ins
furious to the human race than any
other form of stimulation to which
people are addicted. II should batho
a man, in proportion, as much as I'm
drank, I'd kill him in one-half the
time. This is called the age of hurrf
and feverish excitement; critics COM
plain that people are unwilling to take
time for anything. AS a matter ofsf4Hc
hours of precious time are worse than
wasted daily in the bathroom. If men
would preserve their health, theye are
three things they must do: First, leave
soap alone; second, get the skin loose
from the tissues of the body; third, get
rid of the idea that regularity In the
matter Of sleep and meals is necessary
to physical well-being."
What are the objections to the Use
Of soap?" asked reporter to whom the
professors original views were rev.
elation.
"There are vital objections, % was
the reply. THE skin, it is acknoEl-
edged, bears a most important relation
70 the body. First, it acts as pro-
tective agent, covering the sensitive It's
sues of the flesh. Second, 1t acts as the
agent of the mind, conveying all sensa-
tions of heat, cold, friction, and the
like. Third, 1t directly aids all the
other organs of the body, taking up the
work of each in turn, when for any
reason they become unable to perform
their functions. The skin assists all
the organs of secretion and excretion
In the entire system, and for that rea
son great attention should be paid to
keeping IL in healthy condition. AL
though realizing its important func-
tions people instead of protecting this
wonderful covering of theirs, try by
every means in their power to destroy
It. Soap does not cleanse the skin
When the skin is dirty II is unhealthy,
and the organs within the body can
never be cleansed by all the soaps In
the world. The only stains, blots, etc.
on the surface of the skin that people
need to get rid Of can not be removed
by soap. Some other chemical ONT
ment or fluid has to be resorted to 20
obliterate them. AS far as regards the
dust and dirt which naturally adhercs
to the body, dust and dirt, being earthly
and material, are much better brushed
Off than washed off, and soap does not
aid In the process.

CROPS DOING WELL,

The New England weather service says
The week proved cloudy, showery one
except in the northern section, which
on the whole, was beneficial to all growing
crops. Haying was, however, retarded.
In sections where the one or two favor
able days for haymahers were improved.
it appears that it had been discolored
and damaged to some extent before it
could be housed. Showers fell on an
average of four days out of seven.
Grain is reporteq as improved consider
ably. Vegetables have grown well
during the week, but potato bugs are re-
ported in several localities. Warm, dry
weather is needed to complete haying,
and for corn. Fruits are doing we'll.
which might also be said of garden vege-
tables and berries. Pasturage is in ex-
cellent condition throughout the sec
ton.
Correspondents in Vermont report
very little rain during the past seven
days, and although it is needed, state
that all crops look well. Haying has
begun in some sectious, while in others
it is one-third over. The general trend
of correspondents remarks is that it is
of good quality and quantity. Potatoes
are reported as doing well and having
made good progress during the week.
Corn is tasseling in some sections.
Fruit, especially apples, are looking
well. Mr.. G. A. Saunders, Morrisville,
states that early apples that we
thought killed by the cold when in bios
som show even better than ordinary"
Pastures are in good condition and feed
plentiful, but flies are reported in some
sections as very troublesome to cattle.

Fort Sumter TODAY

Many people stop at Charleston, S. c.,
on their way to and from the North
simply for the pleasure of visiting Fort
Sumter, although there is very little to
see. The fort is abandoned now, so far
as military purposes is conserved, and
is defended only by retired Sergeant of
the Engineer Corps and few old-fash-
Toned guns that have not been swabbed
or loaded for quarter of century, and
in whose rusty muzzles the swallows
build their nests, writes a correspond
ent of the Chicago Record. The Wealth
er Bureau has station within the walls
of the fort. and the Government sustains
lighthouse there, whose keeper is en-
ployed by the Charleston Chamber of
Commerce to signal the approach of
vessels to the city. The old Sergeant,
who is a single man, and the lighthouse
keepers family are the only inhabitants
of the place, but they see good deal of
company, as a little steamer runs out
from Charleston every morning with
tourists, and often twice a day. All
visitors have to be landed in a small
boat now, because the wharf was blown
away in the cyclone last summer.
1t is gloomy desolate place. The
walls are covered with weeds and moss,
the mortar aud printing are falling out of
the crevices between the bricks, and
there is an appearance of total abandon
ment which you do not find at historic

The community was saddened Sunday
as it became known that at 10 o'clock
Saturday night Dora Bratton died very
suddenly at the home of her brother-in-
law, Thomas Andrews. She was the
daughter of Lewis Bratton, the fourth
child of family of eleven, six sisters
and four brothers surviving her. She
never fully recovered from an attack of
the grip last winter, but was considered
in very good health till last Wednesday
when she was obliged to give up. Her
friends, however, did not think her very
sick and planned to move her home
Saturday. Their plans were changed as
she was stricken with apoplexy and

ing helper in The home where now one
of the middle links in the chain, until
now unbroken, is gone. She suffered
very little during her last sickness and
died without a struggle with her arms
folded peacefully. The Y. p. c. u, the

lily. The funeral will be held at the Bap-
