LEARN HOW TO REST.

There are many advocates in be-
half OF faithful work. Almost every
paper and magazine, whether it be
devoted to the interest Of the young
or the old, will give considerable
space to some phase of this question.
The young boy is told how to get on
in the world. When the advice is
sifted down it is seen that the advice
might be summed up in one word:
Work. Be faithful in your work.
stick to your work, do your very best
in your work. All this is good ad-
vice. But there is another side to
the question which should be thought
of. There are many who have learn
ed how to be diligent workers, yet
have failed to find out the art of
resting. The over-wrought business
man and the tired housewife may
well study how to rest. 1t is a fruit
full subject for consideration, and one
that should lead to happy results.
Some people are ashamed to be seen
in hammock. They think it shows
laziness. Yet it is fact that five
minutes at noon spent in lying prone
upon the back with muscles relaxed
is worth an hours sitting. Upon a
bed, hammock, the grass, the floor
anywhere that pure air may be
breathed-throw yourself full length
and let the tired muscles relax and
the tired nerves rest. Resting is a
science and an art, and is Just as
much part Of sound education as
any one thing man or woman should
know. If business men know better
how to rest they could do more work
aud enjoy better health. If the house
wives knew better how to rest there
would be happier and more comfort
able homes.

There is wholesome awakening in
many quarters to the need for re-
turn to a simpler life. The high
pressure methods of modern civiliza-
tion are not conducive to human hap
piness nor to lasting prosperity.
Both in social life and in business
activities men are learning that it
pays to go slowly. What blessing is
there in wealth If one must wreck
health and happiness to secure it?
What satisfaction is there in leading
society,"" if one has to pull and tug
like draught horse to do it? What
JOY is there in the mad indulgence Of
a thirst for pleasure if there must
follow the pain that comes with reac-
tion? One cannot seperate action
and reaction. The cause must pro-
duce the effect and the effect must
follow the cause. Men are beginning
to realize this and are beginning to
seek safer paths for their feet.

AN INCREASING WONDER.

The big dam under construct tion at
Meals Shoals offers food for specuIa-
tive thought. The rapid increase in
the number Of uses to which electric
ity has been put, and the wonderful
improvement made in almost every
case, inspire one with the confidence
TO predict yet greater things. 1t is
not an idle fancy to surmise that it
will be but short time before the
whole country will be uE;ted by elec-
trio lines. And what is to hinder the
ultimate introduction of electric
lights into the homes in the rural
districts, as well as in the town com
munities? There is power enough in
Htre @hsirnesseu, r0 drive every spin
die in every mill in the county, run
an electric car by every door and
light up the interior of every house
in the county. The close touch es.
tablished between the towns and
country by means of the electric
lines is going to enter largely as
factor. in the solution of some of the
problems that confront modern civil
ization. The advantages of the town
are brought to the door of the man
living in the county, while the advan-
tages Of country life may be obtained
by the resident in town. The incon-
veniences of the life in the country
drive many people to town. Better
school advantages, less of loneliness,
greater conveniences in the way of
appliances about the home-these
and other things drive many people
from country to town. Electricity
light, motor power, and the telephone
has done much to equalize m alters,
and the evidence goes to show that
we are just in the infancy OF the won
derful developments in electricity.
The message: "What hath God
wrought?" although wonderfully ar
propriate when it was sent flashing
over the wires, seems now, in the
light Of subsequent events, hardly
appropriate.

The ticket scalper is one individual
that the railroads find it hard to
manage. Even the courts are unable
to put down his sharp practices.
That they defraud the railroad is an
evident fact. What of the man who
purchases ticket from one of these
"brokers?' Doubtless he may have
invested in it without giving the
matter serious thought. To consider
the matter seriously one has to
arrive at the conclusion that it is not
altogether the honest thing. Besides,
it is the existence of these ticket
scalpers that makes it impossible for
the rail roads to give low rates. The
ticket scalpers business is crooked
and we should steer clear OF him.

The game Of ball which was played
between the lawyers and doctors
Tuesday afternoon was witnessed by
large crowd. The stores ON Main
street were closed and the street de-
serted. The playing was not great
from professional standpoint, but
was greatly enjoyed by the assembled
multitude. The absence of profes-
sionalism was the chief charm. This
is move in the right direction. Let
us enter into these sports for the rec
reation and health they afford. So
long as we keep out the spirit of
gambling and professionalism, the gain
is very great. More games like the
Tuesdays game would be helpful and

into bowling wrangle? If these

cerned In the least about the matter.

Strabismus or "cross-eye is in nearly every case the result of hyper iopia, defect which may be remedied with proper glasses. It is rare thing to find cross eyes or squint with the absence of hyperiopia or far-sight. Rarer still to find a case of internal squint that cannot be remedied with proper glasses, if used before adult age. Don't neglect these cases too long.
