Cousins, we are rusticating now,
sure enough. Instead of listening
to the sweet music Of the Hornbeak
band we have plenty of sounds that
might be music to some ears. but
not ours, the most prominent is the
croak of the frog and the boot of
the owl with the musical hum Of
the mosquito thrown in. We APP
preciate the sweet songs of the
birds. We once heard very excel
lent elderly lady remark that the
happiest time Of her life was spent
on lonely island and the sweetest
music to her ears was the tinkle of
the sheep bells. Another said she
was easily pleased, and am in
clined to agree with her.
With much love will / remember
my dear friends and neighbors at
Hornbeak. We would appreciate a
letter from Hornbeak, and suggest
that Miss Anna Williams, of that
place, write for The Commercial.

THE NASHVILLE aRAYs.
At the Centennial Park Many Visit.
ors Present.


The Nashville Grays, the crack
military company of the State
Guard, have been secured for an
exhibition drill and for the sham
battle on the Fourth of July in
Union City. Appropos of this event
we append mention of the company
from the Nashville American:
The military encampment at Cen
tennial Park, where the Nashville
Grays have been spending the past
week, continues to grow in popu-
larity and large numbers of visitors
are out every afternoon and even
ing. The beauty of the place is in
itself great attraction, and that
perhaps is what draws the mem
bers OF the fair sex to that locality,
though in the old days a soldiers
uniform was supposed to attract
them. Quite number of young
ladies were under military protec-
ton yesterday evening, and in the
vicinity of the camp there was a
very evident sound of revelry."
Mayor T. G. Morris and Mr.. Lee
land Hume, President of the Nash
Vile Board of Trade, were elected
as honorary members of the com.
pany.
The Grays will drill at the Hip
podrome Skating Rink, consisting
of skirmish drill, exercises in
Butts Manual and grand review
at which Gen. Harvey H. Hannah
and the members of the company's
Advisory Board and of the Park
will act as reviewing
officers.
The order for the full dress uni
forms won by this company during
the recent annual inspection will be
formally presented to Gen. Hannah.
The First Regiment Band will fur
nish music for the review.

HYPNoTiZED OVER THE PHONE.
Remarkable Performance Vouched for
by Medical Men.

Some remarkable experiments in
the way of hypnotizing by telephone
have just been carried out in the
Savoy Hotel by Mr.. F. F. Abbott. The
experiments were conducted in the
presence of considerable number Of
medical men. Mr. Abbott introduced
a young Scotsman, whom he had hyp-
Noticed seven times during the previ-
Gus fortnight. After passing his hand
over the face of the subject, Mr. Alb
bolt soon reduced the man to a pas
sive state, and then, accompanied by
one of the medical men, he left the
building, and from a distance of two
miles telephoned to the hotel in which
the seance had been held. When the
bell in the hotel room rang the young
Scotsman went to the telephone, and,
with shudder, fell back quite uncon-
scious. Mr. Abbott had commanded
him over the telephone to go to sleep,
and the subject remained in a hyno-
tized state until Mr. Abbott returned
and awakened him.-London Tit-Bits.

NEW FOOD LAW

carping critic may say this is simply
an advertisement for Postum and
Grape-Nuts. 1t is true that these ar
ticles are spoken OF here in a public
manner, but they are used as illustra-
tons of a manufacturer seeking by
example, printing on each pkg, truth
full, exact statement of ingredients, to
shame other makers into doing the
fair thing by the common people, and
establishing an era of pure food, but
that procedure has not yet forced those
who adulterate and deceive to change
their methods, hence this effort to
arouse public sentiment and show a
way out of the present condition OF
fraud, deceit and harm.

publishers of America about 100000

cally all of the great papers and maya

The people nave allowed the SLOW
murder of infants and adults by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to go
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join in an organized
movement to clear our people from
this blight. You may not be able to go
personally to Washington to impress
your Congressman, but you can, In
most effective way tell him by letter
how you desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman is In
Congress to represent the people from
his district and If goodly number of
citizens express their views to him, he
secures very sure guide to duty. Re-
member also that the safety of the
people is assured by insisting that the
will of the people be carried out, and
not the Vaccinations of the few for
sci sh interests.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement of the people for public pro
lection. 1t will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de-
ceiving and injuring the people. There
fore, if your Representative in Con-
gress evades his patriotic duty hold
him to strict accountability, and If
necessary demand equitable and hon
