Whatto Pat

What TO Pat.
The raw-egg diet is gaining a great hold
on fashionable New Workers The advo-
Gates claim TO obtain more immediate and
material benefit from this food than any
other. The healthfulness Of the custom
has been given additional emphasis by the
declaration of pure food advocates in their
recent New York convention that the only
pure food known is the fresh egg. The
raw-egg eaters declare that the egg is
spoiled by any kind Of cooking and its
benefits can be obtained only when eaten
raw. To back their conclusions many re-
searches have recently been made on the
subject and IL has been found that tourists
in unexplored tropical countries have been
able 20 retain perfect health throughout
the most trying exposures to heat and
wet by means Of dieting On raw eggs. An
instance Is mentioned where all in a party
Of explorers became dangerously i'll except
one, who ate nothing but uncooked eggs.
Believers in the new diet contend that
the egg should be eaten as soon after il is
laid o. possible. Several different meth
ods OF serving the eggs are in vogue the
most popular Of which is in sherry wine OF
with vinegar. A very little of the wine
or vinegar is required in a glass merely "a

town papers. He said, in part:
1--WE are proud of our splendid cities,
and we want them to increase in wealth
and population, and we also want our
country towns to grow. We wish the
city merchants to build up, but we also
desire the country merchant to prosper.
| do not believe in the mail order clti-
zen. If a place is good enough for a
man to live in and to make his money
in, it is good enough for him to spend
his money.
mo merchant can succeed without
advertising in n way or another.
Patronize your town papers, build them
up, and they will build the town up
and build you up increased trade and
greater opportunities. Do not be afraid
that business is going to be hurt by the
recent exposures of wrong doing in the
commercial world. No man who is do
ing an honest business can be injured
by the light. All business will be bet
ter for the cleansing process it is going
through and for the stamping out of
evil"

LONGING.

When the roadside weeds are willing
And the skies sunburned and brassy,
Then L know the birds are lifting,
Then know a country lassie
Sings along a country highway
Where the maple trees arch over,
Trips along a woodland byway
Sweet with breath of purple clover.
And buds come out of their hiding,
And birds sing out of the shadow,
And the cricket where tits biding
Sends it's call across the meadow,
And her lips + like a cherry,
And her throat is like the thrushes
In the morning making merry
BY the streams side in the rushes.
And her foot, so softly pressing
On the tender roadside grasses,
Is as soft as the caressing
Of the south wind as it passes,
And her locks are star-dust drifting
In a halo and a glory,
And her eyes down-drooped or LIFTING
Are as sweet as loves own story.
Do you wonder that the willing
OF the weeds along the byway
Sets me longing for the lifting
Of a song adown a highway
Where a country maid is going,
And where maple trees are over,
And where gentle breezes blowing
Bring the breath of Durple cloyor?

Upper South Carolina will be connected

mean ten or twenty years. Anderson's
line is prosperous and it is to be ex-
tended to Bolton and Spartanburg's
line already extends eight or ten miles
into the country, and to mill villages.
After a few years, the franchises
will be secured by Northern capitalists
and, if we don't look sharp, the trolley
business will be owned by outsiders.
The Greenyille and S~partanburg lines
are now owned by outsiders. Local
people w the Anderson line.

trolley line and we wouldlike to see it
owned and operated by home people.
