THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Ways That Are Pleasant and Paths
That Are Peace.

1t is the simple life that gives length
of days, serenity of mind and body
and tranquility of soul
Simple hopes and ambitions, bound
ed by the desire to do good to ones
neighbors, simple pleasures, habits,
food and drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences-they climb too high
and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that a simple diet
has done her:
Il have been using Grape-Nuts for
about six months. | began rather
sparingly, until | acquired such a lik-
ing for it that for the last three
months | have depended upon it al
most entirely for my diet, eating moth
ing else whatever. but Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and | believe
could eat it for dinner with fruit and
be satisfied without other food, and
feel much better and have more
strength to do my housework.
When | began the use of Grape
Nuts | was thin and weak, my muscles
were SO soft that | was not able TO do
any work. l weighed only 10S pounds.
Nothing that | ate did me any good.
| was going down hill rapidly was
nervous and miserable, with no ambi-
tion for anything. My condition i'm
proved rapidly after | began to eat
Grape-Nuts food 1t made me feel like
a new woman: my muscles got solid,
my figure rounded out, my weight in
creased to 126 pounds in few weeks,
my nerves grew steady and my mind
better and clearer. My friends tell
me they haven't seen me look so well
for years.
Il consider Grape Nuts the best food
on the market. and shall never go
back to meats and white bread again. 4"

WOMEN AND MEN.

If it wasn't for women the cynic would
be out of job
The men who believe there should be
a tax on bachelors are all married.
A wise wife conceals nothing from
her husband except her own faults.
Tell a married woman she is a mar
tyr, and she will be supremely happy.
A faithful wife provides for the inner
man, and model husband provides we'll
for the outer woman.
When man has more money than he
knows what to do with, it stands to rea-
son that he isn't married.

While district of Columbia meas
ure was before the house the other aft

point of no quorum. Speaker Cannon
sent some messengers out for absen-

house in very leisurely fashion. Try
as he could, he was unable to make
the required number. clerk at the
desk said something to him as to the
probable whereabouts of certain mem

stage whisper; "All right; you go hus-

AS Others See Us.

The American man is more consist
women than any fellow on earth, and
in no country does he get sharper
snubbing for his pains, says a writer
in the London Chronicle. The hand
ling of husbands by wives in America
amounts to an art, a profession, al
most science. Based on the theory
one can accomplish, ladies who have
hard working, enterprising spouses
simply retire from active life If he
manages his office and business salts
factorily, why not take over the house
and servants? What is known al "a
good husband in the states is first
class, non-tiring moneymaking ma
chine, who gives everything, asks
nothing and brags ceaselessly of his
wife's perfections. Should he presume
to criticise a charred chop or fiat
Diapers bills, he is set down as a
brute, and the wife is pitied as first
class martyr! For such sins as the
above two men of my acquaintance
were forced to live in hotels year at
a time. They had committed the crime
of finding fault with the impeccable
sex, and were reduced to subjection by
having their homes taken from them.
For my part l think the Briton's way
is best

st. Petersburg, March 23.-The
party within the government which is
urging the emperor to indicate to
Japan Russia's willingness to end the
war if reasonable basis can be
reached, has been greatly encouraged

anese appear to have given Russia a
temporary respite from pursuit, prob
ably for the purpose of reforming
their forces as they did after the pur-

right much nearer the railroad than
the left, while the Japanese position
follows a line intersecting Kaiyuan.

Many Lives Were Endangered.

New York, March 23.-Many lives
were endangered and damage to the
extent of $4,000 was done by fire
in the nine-story Empire State build
ing at Broadway and Bleecker streets
yesterday. Scores of girls employed
in the upper portion of the building
were thrown into a panic when flames
swept up from the seventh floor,
where the fire started, and it was only
by the greatest good fortune that all
escaped. Many were bruised in the
crush which followed the rush down
the stairways. The fire was confined
to the three upper stories.

$4,000 From Rockefeller.

DR.. W. 7. Lowrey, president OF Mis-
sissippi College at Clinton has arrived
from New York, where he attended a
meeting of the Baptist Educational
Society of America. AS result OF
his visit to New York it is more than
likely that DR.. Lowrey will receive
for Mississippi College from John d.
Rockefeller an additional endowment
of about $4,000 for Mississippi Col
lege. Some time ago, when President
Lowrey undertook the work Of IN
creasing the Mississippi College en-
dowment in the sum of $4,000 Mr..
Rockefeller agreed to give $4,000 to
the institution when the Baptists OF
Mississippi succeeded in raising $45,-
900. This agreement was complied
with and President Lowrey is now
engaged in an effort to raise $l0O,000
for the purpose of erecting new build
ings and securing additional equip
ment at the college. While in New
York he received an intimation that
Mr.. Rockefeller was well pleased with
the prompt manner in which the pre-
vious endowment had been raised,
and is willing to again aid the institu-
ton.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
A Brief Chronicle of the Important Happenings
Good for Guntown.

A most commendable piece Of work
has been reported from Guntown
where local bank paid for 100 sub
scriptions to the Hot Times, the home
paper, and sent to its patrons for a
year. 1t will prove a good invest
ment for both the bank and the paper.
A town is largely judged away from
home by the appearance of the 10
cal papers, and this piece of business
generosity on the part of the bank
will be of benefit to the paper. Then
too, the prosperity and business of the
town is largely the work of the paper,
if there is more business for the town
there will as matterof course be more
business for the bank. So the action
of the bank in question was good
business move. 1t is feared that a
large number of newspapers will want
to move to Guntown.

Guage Widsned.

The M. J. & K. C. railroad has been
made standard guage as far North as
Cotton Plant. The guage from New
Albany to Pontotoc was broadened
some time last year. In short while
the doodle Bug" will be only a MEM
ory in Mississippi. Hundreds who
travelled the road and knew its owners,
officers and operators in the past will
evince feeling of regret that the on
ward march of progress has necessi-
tated the elimination of this little
piece of road and pushed into the back
ground the affable and accommodating
men who controlled it's destinies in
the past. Such however is the price
we must pay for the greater advant-
ages of an advance along all lines.

DENIAL FROM ALDERMAN.
He Did Not Say That Southerners
Lack Brains.

Richmond, Va.-Dr. Edwin A. Al
derman, president of the University
Of Virginia, has issued statement in
contradiction Of criticisms Of the
speech made by him in New York
last December before the Southern
Society. Senator J. W. Bailey, of
Texas, was one of those most severe
on DR.. Alderman, saying he had at
tempted to belittle Southerners. DIR.
Alderman declares that he did not say
Southerners lack brains. What he
did mean to say was that Southerners
lack scientific training for the thor
ough treatment Of great problems.
Northern weakness, he said, was to be
found in materialism land in view
of Government not wholly for the pub
lie good.

Numbers Pasted Over.

Chicago. Mention of a Texas leg
islature came up in the United States
District Court here through an effort
of counsel for John H. Dalton to
prove that an attempt had been made
to defraud Dalton by means of a
forged "option" ticket. Dalton is on
trial charged with promoting a lot
terry. The so-called "option" ticket
was exhibited in court to prove that
an alleged fraudulent number had
been pasted over the real number
borne by the ticket. The alleged al
tered ticket called for $4,000, but a
bank through which Dalton is said
to have carried on the financial end
of the alleged scheme refused to honor
the ticket on the ground that the
ticket had been forged.

Water Power Increasing.

The value of water power is increas-
ing as the supply of coal and other
fuel is diminishing. Although it seems
that they attract little interest there
are number of locations for water
power plants in Mississippi. They
may come into use later on, possibly
after they have been let go by the
present owners to some smooth fel-
low who realizes what they are worth.
There are several in the Southern por-
ton of the State and few in the North
ern. While the proximity OF large
town or city is necessary for the sue
cess of an electric power plant, indl-
vidual manufacturing plants can be
built almost anywhere. If you own a
water power, get what it is worth be-
fore letting it go.

Reddoch Talks.

Martin L. Reddoch stated that he
expected to make his bond within the
next few days as he has communicated
with his relatives on this subject. He
stated that when he obtained employ
ment with the government as a secret
agent of the department of justice he
never informed them that the was an
ex-convict, but he said that he took
no pains to conceal this fact. He says
that the first that he knew that his
services were wanted was when he
received telegram from Assistant At
torney General Robb and afterwards
had communication from United
States District Attorney Skinner at
Raleigh, in regard to the matter.

More Truck Farming.

Farmers in the Saratoga section
are busy preparing for another crop
More attention will be given to corn,
potatoes, peas, cane and such other
necessary crops for home use, and less
attention to cotton than for many
years. Plenty Of ''hog and hominy'
and less cotton is the motto. Consid-
cradle trucking will be carried on, and
many towns along the Gulf & Ship Is
land Railroad will ship large quanti-
ties Of the various vegetable crops to
the northern markets this year.
