All Glasses Can Get 1t,

The grocers who are handling "Clif-
ton" flour are the ones who have the
best trade and the highest grip on it.
"Clifton" is a flour of quality, and goes
into the homes of people who want the
best the market affords, and Ibis APP
plies in this free country to all from
the lowest to the highest station. No
sumptuary laws can prevent the hum
blest American citizen from buying
the purest and best -four, end every
good housekeeper knows she gets the
purest and best when she buys 'tClif-

There is a lot of the most desirable
trade that no one a get who doesn't
handle "Clifton'' -four. Users of "Clif-
ton" can't be satisfied with any other
kind. "Clifton'' has established q new
standard Of purity and the highest ex-
cellence. II you have not used "Clif-
ton" recently, you should by all means
instruct your grocer to send you o sack
when you order flour again. Don't let
him persuade you he has something
just as good.'' He may be buying
other so.called patent -four at a little
less than he pays for edition. and he
naturally wants to push this on you
because he makes q few cents more on
it. Insist on having edition., If you
want the purest and best.

but the twilight covered these vulgar
details, and to the passersby he seemed
a great warrior, before whom Prince
Henry and other big guns, who had
been taken riding by the President,
looked like tin soldiers.
After the decorated horseman, came
a. string of bicycles, and then the in
evitable line of small black boys and
others who thought there was some
thing doing"
The President, totally unconscious OF
his following, turned into the west gate
of the White House with Gen. Wood
with the orderly close behind him.
The crimson warrior rode gayly up
and started to go in but was stopped
by the Waterman. He protested. Then
the crowd increased and some shouting
began. The President looked around
and seeing the connection rode back to
the gate to inquire.
He found the cigar youth violently in
sisting on his rights and all the avail
able police trying to keep the crowd
out. The Waterman explained that the
people thought the gorgeous youth was
a prince, who had gone riding with the
President. Gen. Wood Joined the party
and there was loud laughter, while the
cigar man rode away and the crowd
dispersed much disguised.

THE rules and regulations, time ia
bles and blank forms of the former
Plant System for the government and
use of the operating department will
continue in force and effect on the Sec
ond division until superseded or chang
ed by proper authority"
80 far as will be apparent to the
general public" said General Superin-
tendent w. B. Denham, there will
have been no change made in the man
agement of the Plant System on July
l, when it passes under the control of
the Atlantic Coast Line. The two
properties will be operated as one, but
there will be no difference in the meth
DDS now employed on the Plant Sys-
tenn and those that are to be employed
on July l. Passes issued by the Plant
System will be good until their indicat-
ed time of expiration"
The name of the Plant System will
be changed. 1t will take that of the
Atlantic Coast Line, and no longer will
1t be known as the Plant System. Both
Plant System and Savannah, Florida
and Western will have become names
of the past. They will endure for
time upon the cars and motive power
of the Atlantic Coast Line that are
now owned by the Plant System, but
! this endurance will not survive the
| present coats of paint When new
| coats are put on, the new name, the
Atlantic Coast Line, will be substituted
for the Plant System.
For three or four years the cars will
probably continue to show their present
names. The life of the paint on a car
is about four years, so that that time
will have to elapse before alterations
are made. Supt Denham said that
the Coast Line would scarcely go to
the expense of a substitution of it's
name for that of the Plant System
when no other purpose than the change
was contemplated. New cars just COM
pleted by the Plant System bear the
name of the Coast Line.
Yellow will be succeeded on the
Plant System by the gray of the Coast
Line. Just as the distinctive color OF
the Plant System was formerly vel
low, sc is that of the Coast Line grey
AS it changes, the Plant System about
year ago began changing it's yellow
for drab, so that there will be nc
considerable changes left for the Coast
Line to make in order to carry its
color scheme into effect throughout its
consolidated system. Between here anc
Charleston all of the Plant System:
yellow buildings were reprinted a gray
The general offices of the Plant Sys
tenn in Savannah received a fresh Goa
OF yellow paint not very long ago
This is still bright, and it will be per.
mitted to remain until it wears off
| When the offices need repainting, the
| gray of the Coast Line will be used

| Manager Emerson of the Coast Lin,
are expected in Savannah to-day.

which in turn affects the neighboring
parts. Heredity seems to act as a pre-
disposirg factor, in connection with
certain other conditions, and rheuma-
tism may act as an Geological agent.
An American authority says of the
disease: appendicitis may be the re-
sult of two of our national failings;
eating too much and chewing too lit
tie
The disease may be acuse or recur-
rent. Where an operation is deemed
necessary il is customary 10 perform
it before the absCess forms, If possi-
BILE. An operation is not always neces-
sary. however, as the Inflammation
sometimes succumbs to exterior treat
rnent. The treatment is, rest in bed,
liquid food, ice over the appendix and
the giving Of opium if absolutely neces-
sary TO allay pain.
An operation is necessary when Sc
we're symptoms come on suddenly;
when they gradually increase in inten-
sity up to the third day; when by the
third day 2 growing mass can be felt
al the seat of the localized pain, or
when the abdomen is distended, there
is high pulse, and a diffusion of pain
The operation is then done to remove
the appendix and if there be an alb
scess to evacuate it.
The subsequent treatment is drain
age, complete rest in bed, light food,
chiefly liquid. Even in cases VIII ere
everything is favorable it requires
from two to four weeks for recovery.
1t is not necessary in all cases even
where an operation is performed, to
remove the appendix. Often this is
sloughed in the progress of the dis
ease.

KING EDWARDS ILLNESS.
Perityphlitis in England, Appendix
citis Everywhere Else.


citis Everywhere Else.
Next to the fact that King Edward
is dangerously i'll and that the coro-
nation ceremonies have been post
poned possibly the greatest interest
is centered in the nature of the dis
ease from which he suffers and the
chances for and against his recovery.
DR.. Ralston baltimore, who discussed
the matter interestingly yesterday,
thinks that unless complications set
in the kings chances of recovery are
excellent as perityphlitis, the cause of
the trouble is not necessarily very
dangerous if proper treatment is CIV
en- the patient.
This trouble, by the way, DR.. Lat
timore stated, is neither more nor
less than appendicitis. 1t was so rec
ognized by Sands of the College of
Physicians and Surgeons. Columbia
University some fifteen years ago, and
is to-day not only generally accepted
| as such by American practitioners,
but by those of Germany as well.
Tillman, a German authority. defines
perityphlitis as an Inflammation of the
vermiform appendix and its neighbor-
hood and ZeigleF, of Jenna, another
celebrated German pathologist, states
that typhilitis and perityphlitis are the
/ Inflammation of the caecum. the APP

other German authority. Strumpell,
says perityphlitis and typhlitis include
the caecum and neighborhood, but IN

Rockford, ILL.,, June 22.-One of the
greatest blowing contests ever seen in
Northern Illinois has taken place at
the Sinnissippi farm, near Oregon, ILL.,

After a hard struggle Mr.. Calhoun

and where it is the object of what
many have considered a myth. but
which, in the light of recent investi-
cations. turns out to be a bit of good,
sound reason and fact. For a long
time the negroes of that section have
chung to the belief that the mosquito
hawk" is a destroyer of mosquitoes,
and that to kill one is to court mis-
fortune and i'll luck. II is said that
this was formerly the belief of the At
takapas Indians, a tribe now extinct
but which at once time occupied the
whole of Lower Louisiana, and that
the negroes received the myth from
them. At all events, the dragon fly
is protected in Louisiana, Just as in
other states people are not allowed to
modest the buzzard. They believe that
the mosquito hawk hovers about pools
OF water, capturing and devouring' the
young mosquitoes as fast as they
emerge from the water, and, for that
reason, it is looked upon as a bene-

NEVER TOO LATE TO MARRY.
Nor Scarcely Ever Too Young, Ac-
cording to Recent British statis-

corning 10 recent British Statis-
tics.
From the London Telegraph.
More than 300 pages. are occupied by
the elaborate statistics prepared by
the registrar general of births, mar
riages and deaths in England for the
year 1900. Even the dispassionate Of
nc1al presentment cannot rob the fig
ures of the great interest they natu-
rally possess. We find that during the
period dealt with 16 per 1000 of the
population entered into the marriage
state. The lowest rate was that of
Rutlandshire, viz, 11.9. while London
seems to enjoy the climate most fav-
orable to matrimony, as 1t heads the
list with IS nuptials to every 1000 of
It's inhabitants. OF the 257, 4S0 mar
riages registered in England and
Wales during 1900. 173,O6O were SOL
emnized according to the rites of the
Established Church. Among those
who went through the wedding cere-
mony were 24,277 widowers, 1858 wild
ows, and POP men and 1888 women who
had been separated from former part
ners by Sir Francis sJeune's court.
One bridegroom was only Is years old.
While there were four of 16, forty-eight
of II and 697 of IS.
AT the other extreme there were
1,5O5 of from so to 65, SIC of years up
to 40, 322 rising to IS, 121 between that
age and so, and even between this
figure thirty-two, of whom five were
patriarchs of more than IS. One of
these was making his first conjugal
experiment, and led to the altar a
spinster whose age, unfortunately is
not mentioned. OF the ladies three
were not yet fifteen when they be-
came wives, fourteen were in their
sixteenth year, and 100 We're approach
ing sweet seventeen, at which stage
there were 1,040 damsels welded. 1t
would appear from the figures given
that woman's chances of finding a
mate are considerably diminished when
she has on her back the weight of
seventy summers. But while there is
life there is hope. One spinster (save
the mark did not get an opportunity
or did not take one-till she had
completed her eighty-fifth year, and
possibly more, as the registrar does
not think it seemly to particularize
beyond this term. The only woman
who was married between the ages OF
so and IS also had had no previous
experience of connubial blisses. OF
the forty-eight united between 20 and
70, however, forty-one were Widows
and of the eleven who had contracted
alliances at ages from 70 to 80 nine
had had earlier knowledge of the mat
rimOnial tie
