the only saIve on the market that is made

AIDS TO APPETITE.
Cold Air Stimulates Desire for Food and
Helps Digestion.

Helps Digestion.
The German inventors of porta-
BILE gymnasium advertise their appa-
ratus as substitute for drugs and
spices" warranted to effect rnechan-
ical promotion of the appetite.
That claim, says What to toEat, is
founded on the experience of all but
the most far-gone dyspeptics; still,
Ia list of digestive stimulants, re-
frigerations must be admitted to out
rank even active exercise. The ca
pacity for assimi1ating large quanti-
ties Of food at short notice increases
Q with distance from the equator. Jack
Frost is the patron saint Of gluttonss
and the gastronomic exploits. of a
puny Laplander would amaze the tall
Texans who have earned their right
to roast beef by 50-mile gallop.
About two years ago DIR. r. c. Meu-
rice, of Toulon, France, published an
account of his experiments with artiS
fcially cooled air, inhaled as a tonic,
with inyariable success, for the relief
of asthma and similar respiratory
difficulties, but with still more re-
markable effect upon the function Of
the digestive organs"
After breathing the intensely cold
air currents of an "evaporator" Gin an
ice factory for half an hour, pug
dog manifested ravenous appetite.
Of three dyspeptics twowere cured in
week; the third could not altogeth-
er overcome his dread Of cold
draughts and entered the refrigera-
ton vault with his face partly muf-
fled, but was benefited to the extent
of enjoying good nights restand be-
ing able to digest sundry viands with-
out the aid of chemical stimulants.,
In a climate like that of Calcutta
9 no gymnastics could be relied upon
to lessen the risk of surfeit. The
natives stick to their Lenten fare, the
year round, and foreigners have to
adopt similar habits or leave the city
to brace up their system in the high
land sanitarium of Darjeeling.
Exercise alone would not save
them, but there is no doubt that frost
alone sustains the digestive vigor of
the sluggish Greenlanders, who pass
six mosths of the year in dug-outs.
After the end of October they often
skulk in their dens for weeks to-
gether, browsing away their days like
hibernating bears, but awake in the
eleventh hour with appetites suffi-
cient to gobble the rations of IL Mex
lean cowboys.
The time will come when our
houses will be artificially cooled in
midsummer as effectually as we now
heat them in winter, and in that mil
lennium of thermal comforts, spices
will become almost superfuous.
Ketchups will be superseded by cold
waves. Instead of opening a mustard
bottle Epicurus will open patent re-
frigerator and turn on the requisite
amount of digestive tonics.

KINGS CREAM SEPARATOR.
The Cheapest and Best Separator in
Existence.

Kings Cream Separator, patented
May 29th, 1900, separates the. cream
in short time; no water in the milk;
great labor-saving, self-operating;. is
as easy to wash as a common bucket,
gives best results, highest points
scored on butter, no crauks to turn,
no skimming to do. Simply draw off
the milk first, then the cream; always
in place and ready for use; any
number of cows. Separaters vary IN
size to suit any farmer or dairy.
Our Separator is a double can.
The outer can is galvanized iron, the
milk or inner can is heavy charcoal
tin, with center cooling tube through
the milk can. For instance, the 10
gallon Separator holds 10 gallons of
milk and also II gallons of water
around the milk can, making the milk
and water capacity % gallons, costing
less than so cents per gallon. 1t is
so arranged that you can flow the
water through the center tube and
around the milk if you so wish to, as
the outer tank has overflow spouts at
each side at the top. It'can be used
in the house, or at the well, or any
convenient place. Each and every
Separator has funnel strainer, also
a cooling tube in cover to let the
gases and heat pass out from the milk,
taking away the grassy or other taste
from the milk, leaving it sweet and
palatable for cooking or drinking
purposes.
The outer tank is nicely painted,
the inner tank is enameled on the
outside so the water will not rust out

NEGRO INDUSTRIAL COLLEGES.

The evidence is accommodating that
negro industrial colleges are doing very
good work. Out of the young men
who attend them they are making
farmers and mechanics. OF course the
negro farmers have to start in a very
modest way, since the percentage of
them that have the means with which
to begin farming either as tenants or
land owners is exceedingly small. They
have to earn the money with which
to buy stock and farm implements.
unless they can get land owners to
equip farms for them.
AS a rule the negro isn't thrifty,
and hence it takes him long time to
get enough ahead to start a farm.
even on an extremely small scale.
Every now and then, however, a negro
demonstrates his ability to make and
accumulate money In this and every
other Southern state there are many
negro farmers, and though the great
majority of them make but little pro-
gress from year to year in improving
their matrial condition, there are some
who have attractive homes and even
comfortable fortunes. The number of
the prosperous is steadily increasing.
and no doubt the industrial colleges
will be great contributors to it.
We assume of course that care is be-
ing taken at these colleges to so shape
the characters of the students that
they will become not only good citi-
zens but also successful men. They
should have pointed out to them
throughout their whole course the i'm
portance of being honest thrifty, eco
nomical patient, persevering, re-
spectful, self-respecting and moral. In
other words. the institutions should be
character builders as wen as instruc-
tors in agricultural and mechanic arts.
The Georgia State Industrial School
and the negro school al Fort Valley
are I'm a very satisfactory condition.
and in attaining their present high
standard OF excellence have overcome
many difficulties. Each has a large

we can learn their graduates, a. a rule
