Your committee on resolutions hereby
report that the meeting at Tupelo is
deeply involved with the spirit Of prog
ress growing out of a wider faith and q
deeper spirituality.
TIE cultured and heartfelt Address
of Welcome from Mrs. r. A. Kimbrough
made us feel at once the welcome that
had been so graciously accorded us.
The apt and CHEEKY response of Mrs.
L. Garrett put us in a cheerful and re-
ceptive mood. While the address of
| DR.. E. E. Boman made US feel like
fastening our steps in the conquest of
the martyr kingdom.
The annual report to Mrs. w. r.
Wards was arlunanswerable argument
against any false conception, that our
organization is a mere sentiment. 1t
showed advancement beyond that of
former years. 1t represented untiring
effort, earnest thought and f~ervent
prayer.
We feel our selves fortunate in hav-
ing such efficient leadership in our be-
loved Cor. Sec. Not only is she a mod
ell of womanly chal ms and christian
graces, but she is an example of ear
nest work and faithfulness ever in
the smallest detail and of a wise n
of all opportunities that be in her path.
Your committee would recommend
that a special vote of thanks be here
accorded her. We heartily concur with
the committee on resolution of thanks
to the ladies of the Baptist church and
the christian ladies and friends of Tupelo
for their kind consideration and match
less hospitality. TQ the pages who so
faithfully and efficiently served our body.

lightful reception rendered the conven-

Papers that are glalcc5 at and

results to advertisers. A paper which

end Is naturally business getter, for
in such reading Of the news ana edi-
torial matter the reader cannot escape
seeing the advertisements for long
enough time TO make an impression on
him.
If the reader has confidence in the
character and honesty of the papers
utterances, he voluntarily places more
confidence in the advertisements which
it contains, though the paper may not

Uncle Sam sold, during the year 1904,
according to figures given out from
Washington, goods worth $1,451 ,355,-
645. He bought goods worth 81 ,035,-
SJ9,197, and used the balance TO pay
off debts and the interest on his mort
cages.
1t was the first year when Uncle
Sam has ever made billion-dollar pur-
chases. Ten years earlier he spent
only $6TG,00O,000. Last year, $685.
100000.
However, Uncle Sam doesn't feel
poor. He broke another record by ex-
porting for the first time over $780,
100000 worth of manufactured goods.
Ia ten years the excess of exports
over inports-sales over purchases
has been over four billions. Sales have
been upon an average more than fifty
per cent. greater than purchases. Last
year and in 1902 the excess Of sales
was only fcrty per cent.
But that isn't much to worry about.
In the three years, 1898, 1894 and 1895,
the excess of sales was only twelve
per cent, and we have done fairly
well since.-New York World.

Ex-senator Shoup, Of Idaho, who died
recently, chung close through all his
residence in Washington to one old
frontier precaution that seemed in
grained. He would never sit with his
back TO a door or an open window
but always took q seat where he could
command the entrance and where no
one could come up behind him. In his
early days in the West he had got
mixed up in one or two feuds, but
being a man of the world and quick
on his feet, had contrived to come
through unhurt During those busy
and trouble-filled years he learned the
necessity Of caution. He had seen
too many men snuifed out from behind
not to recognize the potential danger
that lay in an unmatched door or
window. The habits of a lifetime are
not easily shaken Off, so that even in
the seclusion of the Senate restaurant
Mr. Shoup always sat where he could
keep a wary eye on all who entered the
room.-Kansas City Star,

to initiate disease have led to serious
and irreparable results. and even to
death itself. A man excited an ulcer

and later gangrene appeared. necessi-

ening of severe methods of treatment
Is sometimes successful but frequently
fails. The threat of the application Of
the actual cautery has cured paralysis,
but cases have been recorded where
malingerers have endured the cautery
on several occasions. A man who
simulated blindness was placed on
the edge Of a jetty and told to walk
straight forward. He stepped out and
fell into the water. for he knew that
those who were testing him dared not
let him drown. In anotfe-. case, how

the suggesting of new signs and symp.

How The Percentage ce the kdu.terants

Worsted cloths are less OTTER adu.-
terated than woolens and are more
easily detected. A cotton worsted is n
lie on the face Of 1t, for the cotton
stands ont with prominence But often
a cotton thread IS twisted with 4 worst.
ed thread. and TO determine its pes
ence it is only necessary to take the
twist out of the thread and then exam
inc its component parts.
Cotton, having LONG stap.e. can be
carded and combed with wool to be
spun into worsted yarn This is Gone
to cheaper the cost Of production. Cot
ton is carded and spun with wool and
shoddy. not so much to cheaper the
yarn, for cotton is generally rs cxpen-
sIye as some shoddies but is intro
duced to give strength or spinning quail
tiles to the stock In many cases the
shoddy is OF such short staple ;hat It
would not stand the drawing IN spin
ming, and as it would make the cost
of the yarn too high to PUT in enough
wool to give that lacking strengths, cot
ton is put in for this purpose
The percentage Of cotton in a fabric
can be determined in this manner:
Take a small piece Of cloth and weigh
it. Now boil it for five minutes in a
five per cent. solution of caustic soda.
Take out what is left and. if any, it is
all cotton. The wool will all be dis
solved The percentage Of shoddy can
not be determined except by expert
ence.
A cloth Of yarn with shoddy III 1t is
easily detected by It's feel. Cloth made
of all new wool is softer feeling than
one containing shoddy. for the latter
has lost that new, soft. springy feel
peculiar to wool-American Wool and

The onen-Alr T.eatlnar,t.

The advantages of the open-air treat
ment for consumptives may be thus
briefly summarized. The patient ex-
posed continuously to fresh air gains
in appetite. assimilates his food better,
sleeps more soundly and awakens more
refreshed. Free exposure to air is the
best antipyretic. S. eating at night,
formerly SO common a symptom, usu-
ally ceases. Colds are practically un-
known among patients leading an
open-air life. Secondary infection, on
account of the comparative freedom of
the air from Heterogeneous, is much
less likely to occur. Tolerance of out
side air is very quickly established,
and no one who hos tried the open
air life will Willingly go back TO the
former conditions OF stuffiness. / have
never seen any one made worse by ex-
posure to fresh air. Even during a
thick London fog patients get on
better lying in a bed on balcony
or in rooms with windows wide open
and good fire burning than when at
tempts are made to shut out the fog
by keeping the windows shut.-Dr. II,
