was first advised by our family physi- clan in Charleston to use TEETHINE with our baby when she was but a very young infant as a preventive of collie and to warm and sweeten the stomach. Later it was useful in teething troubles. and its effect has been found to be so very bene- ficial and so free from the dangers that are consequent upon the use of drugs and soothing syrups that we have come to re- gard 1t, after use with three children, as one of the necessities when there is a new baby in the house and until the teething troubles are over and we take pleasure In recommending 1t to our friends instead of the horrid stuff that so many people use to keep their babies quiet.

PRATT CITY.
Closing Exercises of the City Schools.
 Other Items.

Pratt City, May 23.-(Special.) .)-One of the most successful years in the history of the Pratt City public schools closed this morning. In the grammar school there were appropriate exer- cises in each room, giving evidence of splendid work on the part of the pu- pills and teachers, and the reports showing unusual regularity in attend ance. At the high school an interest ing programme was rendered to a large and appreciative audience. Palms and flowers lent beauty to the scene. The exercises opened with a prayer by Rev. w. c. McPherson. Professor Monroe, principal of the high school, then reviewed the years work in elo- quent words. He spoke of the infu- ences which tended to bring the school up to it's present high standard, of the moral support accorded by the schools patrons and the untiring zeal of the teachers. Rev. J. K. Turner delivered the address Mr. Turner Is brilliant, logical speaker. His address was clear and concise explanation of edu- cation in it's broadest sense. Dr. c.
  board, spoke interestingly of the growth of our city schools. J. B. Aird, who is a member of the school board, in a few well chosen words, spoke of his pride in having been mainly in- strumental in obtaining charter for the schools of Pratt City about nine years ago. Benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. c. Johnson. A diploma was

MACARONI

The severity of the drouth is
said to have defeated Secretary
of the Agriculture Wilson's plans
for raising macaroni wheat in the
arid regions of the far West.
These regions are not unlike the
hot districts of the Mediterranean
regions in which such wheat is
grown, but doubtless he and his
farmers will try again.
Macsroni wheat differs from
bread wheat in several respects.
It is high in gluten and low in
starch. In the field it looks more
like barley. The heads are fat,
compressed and bearded, the beard
often beng black; the chaf is
usually golden yellow, but some
times black; and the grains are
large, hard, yellowish white, and
clear, or, in wheats of the best
quality, sometimes translucent.
There are also occasionally velvet
chaf variety. In Europe they are
known simply as hard wheats, or
dorum wheats. The grain is SO
much harder than that of. the
hardest bread wheats, and in the
best varieties contains an unusual
amount of nitrogen and a corre-
spending small amount Of starch.
The quantity and quality of the
gluten make them exceedingly
valuable for making macaroni.
They are extremely resistant to
drouth and resist the attacks of
leaf rust and smuts to an unusual
degree.
About Is, 900, 900 pounds Of
ma6aroni are imported each year,

NEW AND OLD NOVELS.

The war between the Old ana
the New has broken out afresh,
and the man is quoted who said
that whenever a new book appears
he goes straightway and reads an
old one. No doubt the library
that Senator Pettus toted overland
to California stands without a
modern equal-the Bible, Shake
speare and Bobby Burns. No in
telligent man will say that any
other three books in the language
are an approach to these.
But the novel-what Of that?
That depends. The novel of fifty
years ago which dealt with ques-
tons ard problems Of fifty years
ago may not longer be useful or
entertaining, but Becky Shapes
are Of all ages, just as are the pass
ions that Shakespeare deals with.
Tn other words, the masters OF
fifty years ago who brought out
the eternal human nature are bet
ter, are more worth ones reading
time, than are the writers Of to-
day who are not masters at all.
The question is, however, a
complex one. AS a rule novel
readers read too many novels.
Perhaps it may be said with much
truth that readers read as a rule
too many books. A few stories, q
few poems, a few essays, a few
histories read and reread until
they are ones own, is better than
the reading of many books, old or
new. This, of course, brings us
back to Senator Pettus' library
which has never been excelled.
The man Or woman who knows
what Senator Pettus' library con-
tains knows enough to serve him
well in this world, and also, let us
foDdly believe, in the next. He has
the best-the Bible, Shakespeare
and Bobby Burns.
And yet there are story writers
of to-day that have their excel
lencies, There Is Thomas Hardy,
and Frank Norris, and Winston
Churchill, and Rudyard Kipling,
aud Booth Harrington. There are
OF poets-well the less said about
ahem the better, and yet Edwin
Markham is a living force. Take
the matter up q side and down
the other, the reader who accumu-
lates the famous Pettus library
who makes that library a resort
to which he returns again and
again, after nibbling the New now
and then, will Individually solve
the problem about as satisfactorily
as it can be solved by one person.
