More About Patent Sides.

Some of the weekly papers in
the state are sitting down hard
on the patent sides and it may
not be long before there will not
be a patent side in the state.
The most serious objection to
patent side is that the patent
people get the benefit of all the
advertisements they contract for
and publish on that side and then
make the home side people pay
them for the privilege of dlstri-
buting the papers. Besides this
the patent side people can afford
to take advertisements at almost
any price as space is no object
with them, and by this means
they keep the price down to moth
ing. A firm sent us an advertise
ment recently for which 1t offer
ed S1.50 year for it's insertion,
we to send the paper to two firms
during the life of the advertise
ment. The patent side people
could probably afford to do this,
and no doubt take some about as
cheap, but we cannot nor any
other newspaper man.-Hatties-
burg Daily Progress.
If every newspaper in the State
would pledge themselves to print
all-at-home, the rebounding effect
would soon be felt and the stan
dard of Mississippi journalism
would out-rank that of her sister
states, as far as her mercial
rating is concerned. Whenever
the Mississippi Press Association
so fixes it's rules that only all-home-
print editors are eligible to MEM
bership, then, and not till then,
will it's mem bership be at pre-
MUM.

Honey Was Gone.

The Kansas City Journal tells
this story: Frank Anderson
was for years well known COM
mercial traveller who made Gale
ma. He was passionately fond of
honey and the proprietor of the
Galena Hotel, at which he
stopped, always had some on
hand for him. One trip Ander-
son took his wife along, and as he
approached Galena he mentioned
to her that he was getting to a
place where he could have honey.
When the pair were sitting at the
supper table that night no honey
appeared and Anderson said
sharply to the head waiter:
Where is my honey?' The wait
err smiled and said: You mean
that little black haired one? Oh,
she don't work here nown"

Two Tramps Killed in

Special to The Times Democrat,
Lum berton, Miss, Aug 3.-A
disastrous wreck occurred on
the Colum bia branch of the Gulf
and Ship Island Railroad about
one mile west of this place last
night. Six loaded cars of the
east bound local fell through a
high trestle and were completely
wrecked. The wreck was caused
by car jumping the track just
before reaching the trestle.
There were four negro tramps
in the cars. Two of them, Ed.
Blakely and an unknown negro,
were killed. Another, Stylus
Warren, was seriously injured
and will probably die. The
other escaped uninjured. None
of the train men or passengers
were injured.

An Exciting Visit.

Il had rather narrowing ex-
perience recently while on my
vacation" said a young gentle
man who has just returned from
a trip to Canada. ''Before cross
ing the border l was in Rochester
for a few days, and went around
on one of the side streets to Rat
tlesnake Pete's place. Rattle
snake Pete is one of the best
known characters in New York,
and he propably divides honor
with Teddy Roosevelt when it
comes to popularity. Pete has
the finest collection of rattle
snakes to be found anywhere on
earth, and when it comes to hand
ling snakes he is the prince of the
business. Incidentally, l may
say that Pete has sort of snake
fac story where he grinds out arti-
fetal reptiles of many kinds and
sizes, but this has nothing to do
with the experience l am about to
relate. Back of his place Pete
has a large square room for the
accommodation of his reptilian
guests and he treats them hand
somely. He is very fond of his
collect ton and the snakes seem to
be very fond of him, too. He
takes great pride in showing the
snakes to any stanger who drops
into his place, SO he escorted
me back into the snake room
when | was in Rochester. The
snakes were of all sizes, and he
had some of the finest rattlers l
ever saw. He had the most of
them Gagged, but / observed a few
of the creepers slipping around
over the floor, and l did not feel
particularly comfortable about it,
either. There was small,
dumpy bush IN the middle of the
room, and l noticed a big, fine
RATHER party coiled, and the posi-
ton of the snake attracted my at
tention. l began to make some
inquiries about it, and Pete start
ed to tell all about the snake,
its history, where it was
caught, how long he had had 1t,
and all that sort of thing, and he
walked leisurely around the bush
at the same time. Suddenly, as
If by magic. the snake sprang
from the fort where it was cooled,
and wrapped itself around my
right arm. l have been frightened
before. But I never felt exactly
like I felt when that snake
pounced upon me. 1 felt kinder
like a man would feel if he
should suddenly begin to melt
away into nothingness, like "a
fellow passing from the per-
ceptible to the imperceptible, as
it were. But Pete came to my
rescue quickly, and explained
that the snake was an artificial
member and worked automatical-
", and that he had touched the
button. But / do not care about
venturing into another snake den
soon. "-Times-Democrat.

Drink Pure Water.

We are satisfied that people
ordinarily drink too little water
especially in the summer sea-
son. When one considers for a
moment the large per cent of
water of which the body is COM
posed-more than two-thlrds-
and the further fact that water is
being thrown off from the lungs,
kidneys, bowels and pores con-
stantly, it would seem that no
argument was necessary to de-
monstrate that too little water is
taken into the system to repair
this loss.
The free use of water of prop
err OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ed water, aids digestion; regula-
ties the bowels; is helpful to the
kidneys; preserves the contour
of the body and to a certain ex-
tent is fat producing. Water
may be taken alone or with liquid
foods, such as broths, soups, etc.
There are many who seldom
drink unless they are positively
thirsty, who would drink it much
more freely if it were modified in
taste as we'll as in nutritious prop
critics by the addition of a little
unfermented grape juice, or in
the form of lemon or orangeade.
A pot of hot water with a little Sug-
ar and cream to remove the boiled
taste, objected to by so many, is a
great improvement over tea or
coffee or the much lauded cereal
drinks.
We believe that much of the
bennett that comes from visiting
the most noted watering places
is not so much because of any
special medical property in the
water, as because of the use OF
water itself independent of any
real or alleged medical proper
ties, com bined with the rest.
People go to drink the water and
to battle in it and they drink il
morning, noon and night and be-
tween times and during the
nights. AS result the stomach,
bowels, kidneys, liver, pores and
even the blood vessels themselves
get much needed flushing and
the overclogged machinery of life
gets fresh start and the suppos-
ed mineral in the water gets the
praise.
We do not advocate the drink
ing of large qualities of ice water
since but little digestion will take
place until the contents of the
stomach have reached the normal
temperature of the body. Iowa
