 New Orleans, La.,. January 2s.-(spe- ciaI .1--The great cotton convention was in session here for three days this week, and that it means something or lasting benefit to all our people, l cans not for a moment doubt. It was not a farmers convention exclusively. but it was open to all classes and avoca- tions. Bankers, merchants. pfofession- al men, manufacturers, brokers, and all interested in the question added their counsel to that of the farmer, all al1E- ious and determined to do something that would bring about a change m
 existing conditions.
 Cotton, the basis of all our wealth. was the bone of contention and the un- certain, fuctuating coquettish state or the market was the nut they were seek ing to crack. The problem of how to have cotton bring fair and equitable price and thus enable the producer to get a just and reasonable compensa- tion for his labor was what had brought so many successful, earnest, able and experienced citizens from all over the South together in this, the Southern metropolis, and after three days of free and full discussion, self interest and common end found them all together harmonious and united upon the final determination to hold cotton now on hand. and to curtail cot ion production. The movement was launched which is destined to play an important part in the future cultiva- tion and marketing of the staple, and through thorough and systematic and united organization to bring about the raising of all kinds of crops and to make cotton the money crop; In the

He told the whole situation and cause of the trouble in, these few words: "Patronizing the corncribs and smokehouses of the West, while we recklessly revel in in- exhaustible fields of cotton in the South; the creating of king whose rulership has. for the past half cen- .tury. forced his subjects to turn their back %pon fields that should glisten with the golden grain, and to shackle their feet in the mad race to increase the domain of their cotton majesty. :" And thus 1t is that our people have giv. en up all for cotton and that all at- tempts in the past failed to reduce the acreage or unite the farmers in any plan or action that would assist them to assert their mastery or to exhibit their real power.

 But at last the farmers, 1t is to be hoped, have determined to shake on their shackles and asert their right, to exercise all the power that nature has given them as the masters of rich and fertile soil and the possessors of a warm and salubrious and propitious climate. I have the greatest hope now that something lasting and tangible will come of this meeting. for I have seen in the faces and read in the de- termined countenances of those%here that they have turned their backs up- on the old ways and the old methods and that they have resolved to be men and in the future act for themselves. do their own thinking and plant and

THE UNPLEASANT HABIT
 nu TfNKWWN


 You will agree that one of the worst of mortal mans acquisitions is the very bad habit of taking cold. It Is so easy to glide into and almost as difficult to get rid of as the opium hab- it or the mother-in-law joke. There is a mystery about catching cold" too, that has never been solved, The old superstition was that the capture came from fresh air, particularly a fine, steady draft of 1t. Now they say it comes from a microbe, but who knows? Who knows anything?
 The best way to avoid taking cold is in youth to accustom oneself to all kinds of atmospheric changes. This can be done, and thus the individual can be rendered comparatively ims mune to cold catching" Once a girl determined she would season herself to air drafts. She began by letting air from an open window blow upon her head at night. At first a slight cold came of 1t, but by degrees she accus- toned herself to 1t till at length noth- ing was pleasanter to her than to feel a gentle wind blowing, in her face and ventilating her head. y.a- 2
 Added to this, she wooed and won the friendship of cold water. After a scrub with the hot water and soap that are necessary for cleanliness the girl sprayed her body all over with cold water. the colder the better. If no shower bath was convenient she quick ly poured the cold water over her from a mug or cup, thus hardening the skin that the hot water had rendered ten der. At length the feeling of cold wa ter dashed upon her steaming, warm skin became a delight. too. The girl found as she grew older that she scarcely took cold once in three years.
