PREcocIoUs sENILITY.
Valuable Lives Snuffed Out in Youth
and Middle Age by Dis
ease Of Age.

Precocious senility when marked and
rapid, Is so rare as to be mere acad.
emic interest, pathelogic curiosity,
such as the recorded instance Of
children of six years dying with arter.
iosclerosis and other signs Of extreme
age, says American Medicine. Even the
very uncommon, but much larger
number of milder cases have so long
been noted as to have given rise to the
axiom that a man Is as old as his ar.
teries. These cases deserve more
thought than is given to them, not so
much to- discover cures as to prevent
decay, and save to society so many
valuable lives which are now snuffed
out In the middle age by diseases of
the senile. There has been much wild
speculation on the subject, chiefly in
lay journals, and due, no doubt, to
some more or less sensational investi-
cations Of Metchnikoff on the causes
of normal senilty and the possibility
of prolonging human life beyond the
century mark. Yet 1t Is a serious prob.
lem and we should know what is the
stimulus which makes one organism
60 through. all its life changes In 30
years, while another under apparently
identical conditions lasts 30 years
longer.

COLD is A MINOR FACTOR
In Pneumonia the Huddling Together
Of People Is More I'm
portant.

Augustus Wadsworth declares that
experience has shown cold to be a
minor predisposing factor in the de-
velopment Of pneumonia. The hud-
ding together of people in close quar-
tiers Is of far more Importance, says
Medical Record.
The treatment of pneumonia In Its
present stage may be said to be either
very easy or impossible. A careful
prophylaxis against disturbances of
the digestive tract is Of the greatest
Importance. Many ways OF attaining
the same results present themselves
and the choice in great measure rests
with personal experience. The hope
Of definite results lies in the produc-
ton Of an efficient and specific antise-
rum.
II is known that poisonous sub
stances are elaborated by the pneu.
mococcus, but SO far the production

used in diphtheria has not been OBJ.
tanned. Pneumonia, however, Is the
tacteremic disease and as yet in none
81 this type have satisfactory results
been secured in relation to antisera,
The hone OF success nevertheless Is
gradually growing brighter.

HER PRAYER FOR MAMMA.
Special Clause in Tots Supplication
Prompted by Fear Of De-
railment.

A Walbrook mother a few days ago
before starting on trip to Atlantic
City told her two little daughters,
whom circumstances forced her to
leave at home, of the speed with which
the great engines would hurry her
train to the resort by the ocean and
of miles and miles Of glistening rails
over which she would travel before
reaching her destination, relates the
Baltimore Herald.
That afternoon, after kissing thu
children good-by she asked them to re-
member her in their evening devotion,
to which request the youngsters tear
fully acqufesced. When the usual bed
time came around, the servant, after
preparing them for their cribs, told
them to kneel down and say their
prayers. The younger of the tots was
much longer in her devotions than her
elder sister, and insisted on making a
separate appeal for each member of
the household. Toward the end Of
her prayer her nurse was much sur
prised to hear the child say: "And,
Dear Lord, above all else. don't let
mother run off the track"

How Insects Use Flowers.

It is astounding to think Of the re-
suit of this mutual, and yet indepen-
dent working. Every shade Of color,
from pale yellow to the richest blue;
every popularity Of form, from the fiat
shape Of the buttercup to the intricate
windings Of the columbine; every de-
gree of sweetness, from the insipidity
of many flowers to the rich sugariness
Of the honeysuckle, and every kind Of
scent, from the foul odor which at
tracts vulgar flies to the most delicate
perfumes that delight the bees. all
have proceeded from this connection
Of insects with flowers. Outing Maya

Health For the Hog.

The time is drawing near when swine
plaques are prevalent. An ounce Of
prevention now will be worth a ton
of cure after awhile
If we had to drink from a pond or
mudhole our health would suffer;
it's the same with the hogs. They like
cool, fresh drinking water these warm
days as well as we do.
During summer when on grass our
hogs are provided with salt and wood
ashes at least once a week, and they
relish them. .f7,.
Keep your hogs clean, feed them on
pure and wholesome food and you will
not be very likely to have any disease
among them.
At our place we feed the hogs the
slop as it is made every day. We think

THE
new YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read Wherever the English Language
is spoken.

The Thr1ce-a-Week World was a brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of ap-
prOval on the Thrice-a-Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritOry of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more extern
sive than ever. All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a-Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular sub.
scription price is only $1.00 per year and
this pays for 1856 papers. We offer this un
equaled newspaper and The SMYRNA TINES
together one year for $1.75. The regular

Rant to spray with the bordeaux mix
ture to prevent blight, for the blight of
the vine is often quickly followed by
rot of the tubers, and when they do not
rot their growth is so checked that the
yield is greatly reduced When the
bordeaux mixture and the arsenical
poison are both put on at the same
time the cost and labor of spraying are
but slightly increased, as the same
water can carry both.
IL one seasons test at the Geneva
o. " experiment station the unspray-
ed rows Sprayed with poison to pro
tect from bugs" only yielded at the
rate of 1531a bushels per acre, those
sprayed with bordeaux mixture three
times during the season at the rate of
344la bushels and those sprayed five
times at the rate of 3S61a bushels
Thus three sprayings gave gain of
191 bushels an acre and five sprayings
Il gain of 233 bushels. The prevention
of late blight of the vines heightened
the period of growth. At Geneva blight
was on the unSprayed rows the last
week in July and in four weeks had
killed three-fourths of the foliage. The
sprayed rows continued in luxuriant
foliage until Sept. 26, and some re-

1t is estimated that this heat runs as

and If you do this so As to make
the claim good that the Baptist
church is the largest Protestant
denomination, why not go a little
farther and include tie Latter-dav
Saints, or Mormon church also as
they also practice baptism by i'm
mersion, and other denominations
might be included.
1t has been clearly demonstrat-
ed: Ist, That DR.. Carroll states
that the Methodists are the largest
Protestant membership; the Bap-
fist he states is second among dis
tinct denominations. The Metho-
dist Episcopal church, while not
SO old as the Baptist by more than
a century, yet it is the largest Pro-
testant denomination. The colored
Baptist is second and the regular
Baptist North ranks according to
DR.. Carroll, 9th, and he so states
in his statistics.
Very truly,
