GottingGen university.
"rhe lot Of the rich girl" said
Or. l.esslng, is tragic one. She
suffers under her wealth in the cir
cumstanco that she IS regarded more

"A rich woman is the most covet-
cd article In the marriage market
What wc call love in her case be-
comes sensuality; what we call mar
riagc is in her case business interests
Marriages for money have become a
recognized cnstom, to the great dis
advantage OF the race"
The salvation cI the rich girl, 1t
was agreed in a discussion after DR..

STARTLING CONTRASTS .

It seems almost incredulous when
| tell you that the management of
a Chicago settlement house in the
slum district of that city took a
dozen or more crippled children for
a ride through the parks, and not
one Of the little ones had ever before
seen a tree. Think Of this, parents,
and keep your children on the South
ern farm, where the Home Beau
tiful' can be made; where the del
icate house plant and shrub of the
North attains the outdoors dignity
of the bush or tree, towering to the
house tops; where flowers are prod
igal in variety and brilliancy Of
color; where the magnolia tree with
its chaste bloom is common; where
foliage plants of rare beauty abound,
and where climbing vines can be
trained to suit individual taste and
where something green
from the garden for the table is pos
sible every month in the year; where
the English sparrow had not yet
invaded the country places and
driven away the native feathered
tribes. and where the knocking bird,
chief among the singers of the South,
is heard in every State.

Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man can not afford to
call a physician for every slight all
ment or injury that may occur in his
family, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as SO slight an injury as the
scratch of a pin has been known to
cause the loss of limb. Hence ev-
cry man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.
Success often depends upon prompt
treatment, which can only be had
when suitable medicines are kept at
hand. Chamberlain Remedies have
been in the market for many years
and enjoy a good reputation.

The patient, who is now the pic
ture Of health and an aristocrat in
appearance, made the following
statements:
When | started the use Of opium
| weighed 165 pounds. Monday,
when I went under the James Treat
ment, | only weighed 122 pounds.
However, l expect to regain my
former weight, as | am improving
rapidly. | began using opium in
1873, at which time it was not
known that the drug would cause
an addiction. However, hope
that my experience with its use win
be a warning to those who are con
stantly resorting to the use Of opium
and morphine to allay pain, for the
suffering its use entails is a thousand
times worse than any ordinary all
ment, and | sincerely trust that
those who are already slaves to Opt
UNI or morphine viii follow my ex-
ample and get rid of it by taking
treatment, for | am convinced by
what | have seen Of results obtained
by the James Treatment at Mem
phis that it viii undoubtedly cure
any case of drug addiction, regard
less Of quentity used, length Of time
or physical condition Of patient, and
with but a minimum amount of in
convenience. y
Mr.. Wicks was loud in his praise
Of the James Treatment and advised
all sufferers from drug addictions to
take treatment without delay
For the benefit Of those who can
not afford Sanatorium treatment a
specially prepared home treatment
viii be sent so that anyone unfor-
tunately addicted to the use Of drugs
can be cured within the privacy Of
their own home. Literature and
free trial treatment can be had by
writing to Chas. B. James, Lock
Box 1000, Memphis, Tenn.
The James Sanatorium also spe-
cialIy prepares a home treatment
for Drunkenness, which can be given
within the privacy of the PATIENTS
own home, and only costs $3.50.
The Cigarette, Cigar, Pipe and
Snuff Habits can be cured at home
at a cost of only $500.
Since it is possible to be cured Of
these addictions at such a small ex-
pense there is no excuse for anyone
being a slave to drugs, whiskey or
tobacco, and, and bequeathing the
curse of a drug, whiskey or tobacco
wrecked system to their children
and TO future generations.

Candidates and Committeeman.

Chairman Lomax of the State
Democratic Executive Committee,
makes the following statement which
viii be of interest to candidates at
this time:
Z have had several inquiries as
| to whether or rot when a member
of a county executive committee be
comes a candidate for office, he
should resign from the committee.
IThe chapter on primary elections,
code 1906, Is silent as TO this point
Section 4141 of the code pro-
hibits a commissioner of elections
from being a candidate for any of
fee at any election for which he
may have been appointed and with
reference to which he has to act as
such. The duties performed by the
county executive committee, as to
primary elections, is practically
the same as the duties performed
by the county commissioners Of
elections in general elections.
Section 3707 of the code author
ICES county executive committee to
appoint all Of the managers Of said
election.
Section BOB gives to the county
executive committee the right to pass
upon certain votes which may be
cast at said election.
Section 3705 makes it the duty
OF the county executive committee
to canvass the returns and declare
the result of the primary election.
Owing to the similarity of the duties
performed 10y election commissioners
IN general elections and by the
county executive committee in pri-
mary elections, | think it is proper
for a member Of the executive COM
mittee when he becomes a candidate
for any office to resign his position
as a member of the committee.
From what | can gather, it
seems to be a precedent in the Dem
ocratic party that a man, who is
a candidate for office and member
Of the executive committee. 1t pro-
notes harmony in the party and
places the candidate in a position
where he will not be subject to cri-
ticism and is conducive to fair and
honest elections. "

Memphis newspapers have print
ed full accounts Of the most cele-
brated case Of drug addiction this
country has ever known, and how
the patient was cured at the James
Sanatorium some time ago.
He was put under the James
Treatment on a Monday and at the
end Of the first day it was found
that the treatment had almost as
sumed complete control Of the pa
tent 5 system. He was less nerv-
Gus, his heart, liver and kidneys
were in better condition and his APP
petite was very much improved and
a a result his system did not de-
mand more than one-third Of the
accustomed quantity Of the drug.
On Friday the patient did not
ask for opium, and it was only nee
essary 10 allow him a small quantity
Of his accustomed drug Friday. sat
urday it was found that his liver
was acting freely, that there was a
healthy action Of the kidneys and
that the skin was moist and no
longer presented the dry and shriv-
eled appearance that characterized
it ON Monday morning. The pu-
pills of the PATIENTS eyes were re-
lieved Of their contracted appear
ance and were almost normal. He
expressed himself as feeling very
much improved and full Of hope
and encouragement.

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called fue cured.
In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat Of fame heated flues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer
ing and stimulating quality that pop
ularizes their use.
The quality Of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind Of soil that produces it, as eX-
pert tests prove that this iue cured

If the parents and children of the

and misery existing among hundreds
Of thousands in the large cities of
the United States and Europe, as I
have witnessed scenes Of wretched
poverty, | believe few Of them would
care to leave the country home
where 50 much comfort is possible,
with the happiness in view not to
be obtained in the fierce struggle for
life in the large cities. Go with me

don, into a Penny -sit-up" resort,
where for a penny, the homeless
person can buy the privilege of sit
ting up all night on a bench, or else
visit another underground resort,
where the most fortunate possessors
Of two pennies can sleep in a coffin
