HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
Rules to Be Observed In the Matter
of Diet and Exercise.

Positively avoid habitual diet COM
posed too exclusively Of one kind Of
food, such Us meats or cereals. Such
diet leads inevitably to disease.
Many cases of sickness, palpitations.
scurvy, skin diseases and headache
are directly due to this improper diet.
Bear in mind that sugar and all
sugared or sirupy substances, unless
sparingly used, are the most injurious
Of the foods in ordinary use. They
render digestion imperfect and by
their seductive taste are liable to In
duce overeating.
Eat sparingly Of fruit, preserves,
veal, pork, young lamb, kid, ham, ba-
con, sugar, vinegar, spices, fats, Oils
fried foods, pastries, cakes, rich des-
serts, strong gravies, hot freshly baked
bread and foods which form adherent
pastes.
| Avoid cold drinks at mealtime, eX-
cept in hot days. Avoid uncomforta-
bly, hot drinks. Avoid eating at irreg-
ular hours. Never overrule your appe-
tite. which is the best index Of the
amount Of food you need, except In
the course Of diseases that require
special diet.
Satisfy your appetite, not your glut-
tony; satisfy your thirst, not your
craving.
Salt your food sufficiently, because
salt is an aid to digestion, but not
more than needed to suit the taste.
Eat less rapidly and chew your food
more. The stomach wants only well
chewed food. The teeth were made
for that special purpose. If they are
door or missing. seek the dentists aid.
Avoid violent exercise and severe
mental exertion just after meal. but q
moderate exercise, as walking, will
aid digestion.
Wash your hands with soap and wa
ter before each meal, even If they 90
not appear unclean.
Brush your teeth inside and outside
at least once a day, and rinse your
mouth after each meal.
When your stomach Is out Of order,
give it a rest by fasting half day or
by taking only little fluid food.
Remember that the wholesomest
meats are beef, mutton and poultry
and that beef and mutton are most
easily digested and wholesome when
broiled, roasted or stewed, not fried.
Remember that pure water Is the
most natural and wholesome beverage.
A glass Of pure water every morning
before breakfast will go far toward
preventing sickness and extending life
toward the century mark.

Concerning Side bitches.

When the road Is In an excavation,
great care should be taken that side
ditch is provided on each side to carry
away the water so that it shall not run
down the middle Of the road, as is fire.
quently the case. Every road should
have side bitches, even one that runs
straight down the side Of hill. The
steepest road needs the side ditch most,
but often has none. Frequently the
water runs down the middle Of the
road on q side hill and wears 1t into
gullies, which are a discomfort and
perhaps dangerous In both wet weather
and dry. The water must not be suf'
fered to run in the road, but must be
made to run off the road.

How to Make Potato Nests.

Lattice potatoes are an excellent ac-
compartment to the fish course and aft
er few trial efforts are easily prepar-
ed. Wash and pare the potatoes and
let them stand for a time in ice water.
Cut them into very narrow strips,
throwing them into Ice water as they
are cut. Then drain and thoroughly
dry enough to pack into strainer
which is about the size Of teacup and
force into the middle Of the potatoes a
smaller strainer. Fry this in deep,
very hot fat. When a golden brown
remove the two strainers and stand the
potato nest on soft brown paper. Re
peat the process until there Is nest
for each person. Before serving place
them on q tin in the oven to heat. Fill
the nests with fish a 10 refine and serve
on bed Of creSS.

HIGHWAYS OF EUROPE.
France Leads In System of Buildini
and Maintenance.

France Leads In System Of Building
and Maintenance.
Two hundred years ago England had
the worst roads in the world because
the peasantry living on the roads alone
were required to work them, says the
American Asphalt Journal. In speak
ing of them Macaulay says "that a
route connecting two great towns which
have large and fourishing trade with
each other should be maintained at the
cost Of the rural population scattered
between them Is manifestly unjust. 1t
was not until many toll bars had been
violently pulled down, until the troops
had in many instances been forced to
act against the people and until much
blood had been shed that good system
was introduced"
Every class now contributes to the
maintenance Of the road system in Eng
land. The French have probably the
most efficient laws and regulations IN
the world for the building and repair
Ing of highways. The minister Of pub
lie works has the general superintend-
ence Of all roads and ways by land and
by water. There are four classes OF
road recognized by law-namely, (D
national, (2) departmental, (3) military,
az crossroads. National roads are built
and kept up by the national treasury.
Departmental roads are a charge upon
the departments through which they
pass, and part Of the military roads are
kept up by the government and part
by the departments through which the
roads pass.
The crossroads are kept up by the
communes, though sometimes in thinly
populated regions these communes re-
ceive assistance from the government,
especially when these roads become OF
Importance.
The national roads are paved like q
street, having an average width Of 521a
feet. The departmental roads are 30
feet wide, and the military and cross
roads are Of variable width. Piles OF
broken stone are placed at convenient
distances, and a man is constantly en-
ployed in repairing each section

Going to st. Louis.

Presi dent Aull of the South Carolina State
Press Association has made arrangements
for an excursion to st. Louis, leaving Colum-
bia on the 20th Of May. It Is estimated that
the cost will not be over IS day, including
all expenses. To have the hills, valleys,
mountains, rivers and cities between South
Carolina and st. Louis pass ones window is
worth the money. Whether this editor goes
on the Goth or on later day, we hope to see
the greatest show on earth.

How to Treat the Lips.

The lips should never be rubbed with
strong scent, such as eau de cologne or
vinegar or lemon. Friction Is also
very bad for their well being. Lips
may be only a pale pink, but If they are
smooth and soft they will look at
tractive. Rouge is also very bad for
the lips. Some women have a stupid
way Of "biting the color into their
lips" Not only does this unwise prac-
tice make the skin very sensitive, but
it also thickens and swells the lips till
they lose all charm.

The Sewerage.

The work Of lay ing the sew erage pipes goes
on daily. About one hundred hands are at
work.
A great hue and cry has gone up from some
other cities because Of the red dirt which was
left on the streets from laying similar pipes.
The clay that is left from filling the trenches
in Abbeville is being used to make more ley
ell the steepest hill in our streets. When the
work has been done tracts OF bitches are
scarcely perceptible.

add to them one teaspoonful Of bicar-

soda acts as an antiacid and neu-

the chalk and orris are gritty enough
to remove any particles Of food which
may cling to the teeth.

ment is issued, it Is questionable whether 1t will have any decided influence on' val ues. The Russian Japanese imbroglio is considered to have assumed more fa- vorable turn and many are of the opsn- ion now that the differences will be set tied amicably. Receipts, however. con- tinue to exceed expectations. and the de- mand for spots practically nominal, as spinners are apathelie and refuse to en- ter the market, claiming that textile trade conditions do not warrant their talk ing hold. As an evidence Of the unsatis . factory business being done by English spinners, it was decided by them several days ago to work on half time as soon as possible. Cables from Havre say that the weavers of Normandy, large spinning district in France, decided at a meeting today to go on short time for three months. From this it would appear that the movement to curtail consumption is spreading. Sentiment nevertheless is ex- tremely favorable to the staple. and any favorable feature brings in buying wave. To make the situation healthy though, it is absolutely essential to have a marked decrease in receipts and good demand for spots.

Caldwell {. Wards Cotton Letter.

By II. X R. Beer.
 New Orleans, December 31.-Notwith- standing Liverpool was not as bad as expected our market opened 16 to 23 lower. and subsequently improved 36 to 10 from the bottom on the more favorable outlook to the political situation in the east. coupled to the report that lady statistician in New York predicts that the census bureau will point to crop of about 9400.000 making the net gain l3 to 2l points on the day.
 It was plainly evident that concerted effort was being made to enhance prices today. and 1t proved successful. The cir cuiation again of rumor that the cen- slis bureau would indicate a crop of g. 4oo,o was not warranted. because the census officials have repeatedly stated that no estimate of the crop would be given. therefore no importance can be at tached to such report That the census is expected to be very bullish is generally conceded, hut as the out-turn of the crop will still be problcmatcal after the docu-
