AN INVESTMENT.

Economy is one of the first prin-
iples of enterprise. The company
that does not observe strict econ
omy in things both great and small
can not hope to approach success.
The business man who will not
take a risk is often a loser, just as
he would have been if he had per-
mitted a leakage
IT is ECONOMY TO KEEP
CLERKS, CASH BOYS AND Girl. s
| AND FACTORY WORKERS HAP
Ply. TO keep them happy they must
be healthy.
Money invested in securing this
| happiness through health giving
pleasure is sure to bring a speedy
and satisfactory return.
The factory, the shop, the mill.
these are all great machines, and
each child or man or woman or boy
or girl employed is a part of this ma
chine.
But, though parts of a great ma
chine, they are human, they are
alive, they must have fresh air, these
| boys and girls, else they will be phys
! ically and mentally unable to do
your bidding. A wheel of the ma
chine, or perhaps tiny bolt or a
screw, will some day fail to do its
simple duty
Do you, manager of the soap fac
tory, ever stop to count the cost?
Not the cost to yourself but the cost
to the boys and girls?
Do you, manager of the sweat
shop, ever read the message that is
written on the faces of those that
toll for you?
Weary hands cannot hasten the
the filling of your orders. Tired
backs cannot skillfully carry the very
heavy burdens
Cheerful, healthy labor will brins
you dollars where the toll worn and
feeble hands can bring you pennies.
In the skillful running of this vast
machine have you forgotten that you
are paying for hands and that you
are using brains?
1T is THE PERSONALITY, THE
HEALTHY, SOUND PERSONALITY
OF THE LABORER THAT MAKES
YOUR BUSINESS A SUCCESS.

Tetanus (LOckjaw.)

The name of this dreadful disease
of the nervous system has grown too
familiar in recent years, especially
SINCE Fourth of July instruments
have become so dangerous.
Because of the fact that four-fifths
of the cases begin with a stiffness in
the neck, followed closely by great
difficulty in opening the mouth, the
disease has been termed lockjaw.
Tetanus may arise from two
causes: Exposure to cold and damp
(idiopathic) and bodily injuries
(traumatic). The former seldom
exists in this country. Statistics
show that traumatic tetanus is most
frequently met with in cases of COM
pound fractures, burns and injuries
to fingers and toes.
Injuries to the thumb and the
great toe frequently result in lock-
jaw.
The symptoms usually appear be-
tween the fourth and fourteenth day
and the more slowly they come on

A well known physician claims that
tetanus can be cured by homeOpath-
ic preparations of St Johnswort and
wild rosemary or marsh tea, the lat

appear, the former after the con-
vulsiOns begin.
1t being germ" disease, the first
thing to do is to cleanse the wound.
| give two old fashioned methods,
used with successful results.
Heat a brick, place it in a bucket
and pour over it pure cider vinegar.
Hold the injured member in the
steam, and as soon as it can be borne
place it in the hot vinegar Repeat
until pain is relieved. Another: Pour
water over wood ashes and boil, MAX
ing a weak I've. Immerse the injured
member in this as hot as can be
borne. Repeat until pain is per-
manently relieved
After either treatment the swell
ing and soreness may be relieved BY
a poultice of live-forever leaves,
bruised, and moistened with sweet
cream.
In case of a burn, the shock, de-
preston and pain must be relieved.
If severe summon a physician imme-
diately. Hot ginger tea may be Civ
en- as a stimulant. The burned sur
face may be bathed with lead-water
and laudanum, or water containing
all the baking soda it will dissolve.
The following is an excellent prepar-
alton: Four ounces linseed oil, and
fOur ounces lime wafer
Subnitrate of bismuth is an exce;-

the bathing. Bruised plantain
leaves are an efficient remedy.

CAUSE OF SHORTAGE
IN WATER SUPPLY

Commissioner of Public Works
Welsh yesterday called the attention
of the fire, water and light commit
tee to the condition of pumping sta
tiOr and the shortage of water dur
ing the sprinkling hours. Commits
sioner Welsh stated that the pump
ing station was in such deplorable
shape that it was almost impossible
to run the engines at full capacity.
The walls and foundations of the
buildings, he said, trembled and
rocked when he had the pumps run
ming at full force, and consequently
the force has been reduced through
fear that the plant would be wrecked,
and then the city would be in worse
shape than it is now.
The councilmen discussed the mat
ter at length but took no action.

for women's gowns. There isn't an
inch of space devoted to coats and
trousers for man, poor man! But
the elegance of women's attire makes
this omission of little moment Here
are silks, satins, tulles, chiffons, vel
vets with embroidery, laces, jewell
and fringes. 1t must be seen to be
appreciated. Any woman who is in
st. Louis and does not have an eye
on these works of art will not be
able to talk intelligently to any other
woman about the magnificence of the
great exposition.

the month. Miss Van OTm wore a
charming organdie, family tinted

pink roses. Her parasol of pink chif-

and for nearly forty gears its mellow
notes have summoned to each SER
vice of the day those Of the third and
fourth generation gathered here.
As the solemn sound reverberates
among the hills one thinks of the
day when the call Of Gabriel's trump
will summon from their narrow homes,
those who long ago shouted praises
in this primeval grove until the woods
rang with their acclaim,
But the end draws near-the last
prayer is made, the last song is sung.

US TILL we meet again" No unnatural
excitement mars the impressive mo-
ments, but great tears roll unre-
strained from untitled eyes; youth
and old age meet on common ground
as hills and vaIes re-echo with the
swelling strains. On many faces the
trickling streams follow the worn
burrows of times stencil and mingle
with the white boards of many win
ters. Old and young clasp hands in
what may be last parting.
Many a world-worn heart rejoices
in the thought Of everlasting youth
when they meet in the last ''tenting"
on the camping ground of eternity.

Camp Meeting in Choctaw.

Three miles from the thriving little
town Of Ackerman, surrounded by
the primeval forest, is one Of the pio-
neer churches of the state, old South
Union. The early log structure has
long been replaced by neat COM
modious building. In the quaint
churchyard near sleep many Of those
who early in the century brought to
the forest wilds the seeds of Method
ism. And many Of the children to
the fourth generation still worship in
the hallowed scene.

PrOmlnenJ IN tne membership Is
the numerous family of j. W. Buck,
whose father in the early days was a
minister Of this church, and near
whose side now sleeps the son. A
large connection of the Buck family
are among the representative citi-
zens of Holmes county.
A family reunion of the children of
Mr.. John W. Buck takes place each
year under the spreading oaks of the
old camp ground near the church,
and their devotion to its precepts and
the traditions of nearly forty years
of camp meetings on the consecrated
ground keep green the memories of
the quiet sleepers near.
To one who had never attended
like services the scene is one that
appeals to the imagination and brings
out the beauties of nature in the
heart of the woods. A short dis
tance down sloping hillside a great
spring of water gushes from an over
hanging cliff, rising abruptly beyond,
while between the rocks spring giant
ferns and long stemmed wild flowers.
In the dewy hollows and on the hill
sides are all manner of wild growths
nesting in the shades that have never
heard the ring Of the woodlands axe.
The undisturbed quiet of centuries
have fostered their being, and the
rich loamy earth nourishes in its lap
all the dainty, waving growth. This
rural beauty surrounds the central
feature of the grounds. A large
covered structure supported on i'm
mense beams of hewn timbers is en-
closed in square by the tents of
rough planks occupied during the
week by whole families, who, trans
porting here many of the comforts of
home and amply supplied with SER
wants, entertain with lavish hospi-
tality throngs of visitors during the
weeks services.
Rev. W. NJ. Young is pastor of
South Union, and assisting in the GER
vices are the Revs. Bowen, Lagrone
Harrison and several others.
The great efforts Of Rev. J. E.
Bowen are in the highest sense mag
nifcent. Believing in the predomi-
nant good Of human nature, he ap-
peals to the highest and best feelings.
Bright wit intersperses the discourses,
and when he denounces sin and sim
ming in terms that arouse the most
torpid, he pours, like the balm of
Gilead, streams Of divine love and
mercy into the wounds of lacerated
conscience.
Gaunt forms of the old, manhood
in its prime, youth and childhood are
wrapt in the spell Of the magic tones.
Toil-worD and weather-beaten forms
Of those who for nearly forty years
have gathered in these services, listen
to the glowing pictures Of the great
beyond. Middle age renews its alle-
glance to the church Of their fathers,
while their children are gathered
into the ranks of those who are keep
ing alive the old camp-fres of their
grandsires and great-grandsires.

days Of camp meetings here, is a
great cow-horn sent from Texas to
