SUGAR Is STRENGTHENING
The Vigor of Modern Women Is At
tributed in Large Measure to
Use of Sweets.

Various reasons have been assigned
for the increase in stature and strength
of the modern maiden, who has most
certainly grown uncommonly tall and
proportionately muscular during the
last few years. 1t cannot be that out
door sports, gymnastic exercises and
so on have stretched her out and made
her as strong as she Is, because her
brothers have had precisely the same
advantage and they have not developed
at the same rate. The secret lies in the
fact that Of recent years girls have be-
come far greater consumers OF sweet
meats than were their mothers and
grandmothers.
Time was when we should never
have dreamed of having sweets on our
luncheon, dinner and tea tables. Now
it would be quite extraordinary were
one not to offer these dainties. And,
what Is more, we are not merely con-
tent, to eat sweetmeats at our meals,
but we consume them at all times and
in all places between meals. 1t was
recently said that boxes Of bonbons
love-making, Sweets to the sweet" be-
ing apparently the text by which every
young man of the day guides himself
through the devious paths Of court
ship.
The great Russian wrestler who is
shortly to enter again into contest with
the Turk, Madrall, tells us that the
more sweet stuff one eats the stronger
one grows. Sugar is the secret Of
strength, he declares.

THE program of the winter meet
ing of the State Editorial Associa-
ton is being rapidly perfected.
The meeting will be held in Mime
apolis Feby. 1916, with headquart-
ers at the National hotel. The
session will be held at the council
chamber at the City hall, and the
program will include papers by
some of the best known men and
women in the profession. Putting
the women newspaper workers on
the program Is something of an in
novation, but it is certain to prove
popular and should encourage a
large attendance by the ladv mem
bers of the Association. There will
be no formal banquet or reception
but something equally as good
will be provided by the hospitable
people of Minneapolis. The official
program will be issued soon.

Our exchanges have each in
turn so far produced gentleman
fit to be Republican governor of this
state according to their individual
viewpoint. Some day when we
have time the list will be alphabet
ically tabulated and our readers
will then be able to pick a winner.
While we have no name to produce,
our opinion is that we need a gov

ern part of the state, say st. Louis

this county has an abundance and
could easily spare one to help out

Growth of THINGS Out West

A correspondent of the Checotah n
ID Times, and for whose veracity that
paper veuches, tells the following:
THE terrible news comes from the
western part of the Cherokee Nation
that a boy climbed a cornstalk to see
how the corn was getting along, and
now the corn is growing up faster than
the boy can climb down The boy is
clear out of sight Three men have
undertaken TO cut the stalk down with
axes and save the boy from starvation,
but it grows so fast that they can't
hack twice in the same place. The
boy is living on nothing but raw corn
and already has thrown down over
four bushels of cobs.o

LIBERTY.

What man is there so bold that he
should say
Thus, and thus only, would / have
the sea ?"
For, whether lying calm and beautiful
Clasping the earth in love, or throw
ing back
The smile of heaven from waves of
amethyst.
Or whether, freshened by the busy
winds,
1t bears the trade and navies of the
world
To end of use or stern activity:
Or whether, dashed by tempests, it
gives way
To elemental fury, bowls and roars
At all its rocky barriers, in wild lust
OF ruin drinks the blood of living
things
And StrewS its wrecks Ger leagues Oh
desolate shore
Always it is the sea, and men bow
Before it's vast and varied majesty
SO all in vain will timorous ones
essay
To set the metes and bounds of Lib
erty,
For, freedom is it's own eternal law;
1t makes its own conditions, and in
storm
Or calm alike fulflls the unerring
Will.
Let us not then despise it when it lies
Still as a sleeping lion, while
swarm
OF gnatlike evils hover round it's
head;
1t shakes the torch of terror, and its
cry
Shrills DER the quaking earth. and
in the flame
Of riot and war we see its awful
form
Rise by the scaffold, where the GRIM
son axe
Rings down its grooves the knell of
shuddering kings.
Forever in thine eyes. o Liberty,
Shines that high light whereby the
world is saved,
And though thou STAY us we will
trust in theei John Hay.

Boring for Oil in Middle Florida.

A dispatch from cambridge, Ga, of
January 81, says:
"Rey. j. d. Bush, of New York City,
representing a Northern syndicate,
was in cambridge Monday attending
to some legal matters. He has the
oversight of a force of hands that is
boring for oil just over the line in
Florida. This company has also re-
Gently closed a deal for 5000 acres of
pine lands in Florida"

cambridge is not far from Tallahas-
see, and it might not be waste of
time for some of our wide-awake real
estate owners to employ some expert
to make try for oil in this vicinity.
There is no use in picturing what
an oil find would mean to Tallahassee.

it is worth.-Capital.

What Philadelphia Thought of "Not

One OF the greatest successes of this
city was the production last night,
says the Philadelphia Press. The char

Some of the characteristic sayings
Of the play are Love can neither be
bought or sold. it's only price is Love-"
"A Woman's silence always means
yes" "a man can have many wives
but only one father"
The play is peculiar one as it is
written about the subject of Thought
Transmission and brings into play
hypnotism and Mental Telepathy.
The most interesting stage climax
Is during the last act, where during
the trial scene the murderer is hyp-
Noticed and made to repeat in panto-
mine the murder as ii occurred in
the first act. and after he finds he has
convinced himself. tries to escape by
the window. but is struck and killed
by lightning from a thunder storm
then raging out doors. The play as a
whole is one of the strongest comedy
dramas ever presented in this city

Eternity has claims;-
Learn that its joys, untold,
And garniture, unpriced.

And cavaliers of Christ.

And proudly showed a hemisphere

Be gloriously unfurled
Ger her, that long for Heaven has

Her princes ar ecrowned;-
Proclaim a jubilee!

And peasant and hidalgo be
