He tells us that all our ailments and the short ness of human life Is all because we walk upright instead of going on all- fours like the animals. Now isn't that dead easy? It might cost more for shoes but the saving in doctors rnd undertakers bills would make up for 1t. Who will start the custom. Might not Harry Lehr set the example?

 We would not put straw in the way of the thorough trying out of the Texas idea It is purely in the inter- est of old ashioned theories Of our Union that we would like to know now Texas reconciles It's idea of what Is good for itself with it's duty to its neighbor States If the goods were poisonous, or immoral. or otherwise obnoxious to the States police power, the right of Texas to do as 1t will with its citizens is apparent. AS 1t Is. noth- ing is necessary to make the traffic contraband except that 1t is contrary to Texas economic ideas. Is that struction to interstate commerce?

An Alabamian Honored.

From advlces received from Okla homa, we are informed that Bob Will Hams, an old-time native Brundidgs hoy. son of our townsman. MT. Jona- than Williams. was elected supreme judge of the new state by an over wheIming majority. Our information is that he could have gotten the gov ernorshir just az easily, but we sup pose that sob saw that 1udgeshir was inc cosier, softer and cheaper of the two. and therefore chose 1t in prefer ence to the move strenuous position. Therein we think he displayed wisdom.

Control of the Pacific.


 Our doughty warriors who are so eager to fight Japan for the "control of the Pacific" could learn something from Byron If they were not too hot headed to learn anything from any body. Man marks the earth with ruin his control stops with thy shores" So wrote the poet, addressing the ocean. The control of 5000 miles of water is rather a vague idea. even if 1t Is not an impossibility.

A aUEER STORY.

If we can guess at things with any fair degree of certainty the President may add the name of woman to his list of nature fakers. if he dares do such an ungallant act. The New York Times of recent date prints letter from Mrs, Carrie G. Beach. which we think is worthy ,of reprinting entire It is as follows:
 Every day regularly I receive your paper up here among the Blue Ridge Mountains I have been very much ln- terested in your nature stories. and, as for six months-from April to Octo- ber-I live very near to nature, l see some very curious things, and would like to add one more to the ones al ready contributed A pair or rooms were building their hest in the vine running across the front of the house. and were busy with their labors. when one morning I started for the barn I heard a shrill -chut-chut, and. turning saw both robins flying around me It was q warm morning. and l had on an old straw hat. This l re- moved when about to enter the barn, and as I did so both robins perched on hair. l stood still for a moment, and let them help themselves. About an hour after I went to the nest. and there were long strands of my gray hair made into a lining for their nest.
 Now what l want to know Is, how did the robins know gray hair from brown. and if all my hair had been gray, would they have left any on my head?
 Two besides myself witnessed this. and are willing to verify my state ment. They were my dogs Laddie and TiCue.
 That, as we think all will admit, is something of a starter. We claim to possess considerable knowledge of birds and their habits, not excepting the robins. but 1t is springing a new one on us to be told that they should be able to differentiate between brown and white hairs. and should select the latter as material for nest lining.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham
ed you have rumbling sound or inper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiarned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
