A GOOD TALK
On the AdvisabiIity Of the Various
Locals Owning and Operating
Compress Gins


The farmers ought to have cotton
gins Of their own and in that way
will be able to put the cotton up in
such shape that it will land in Lon
don, England, in as good a shape as it
lis when loaded on the train at your
siding.
It has been demonstrated that thous-
ands of dollars are lost by the care.
less way our cotton is placed on the
market. It is tumbled around in the
mud, lots of it is wasted and it is land
ed at the end in bad condition.
OF course we get our money for the
cotton just the same and apparently it
does not matter to us how it is
handled after it is sold
There is nothing placed on the mar
ket today as slovenly and ragged as
cotton and the southern farmer must
not sleep, but see to it that their pro-
ducts are handled just as carefully
as other crops, for it stands to reason
that there is a loss in cotton being
badly handled and the manufacturer
must always figure an average loss
per bale and the price is governed
thereby and we are the losers after
all.
I say, let us have it compressed by
our own gins and into 200 pound bales
so that it can be taken up and placed
on wagon or car without rolling
them in the mud The time will come
when we will have compress gins
owned by the union in every neighbor-
hood, but it will not come till we in
sist on it,
When the commercial world learns
that we demand this and that we
are determined and will have our end
the gin owners will put in the ma
chinery. / think this ought to be put
before the public in every possible
manner Our lecturers ought to urge
it, our state organ, the Advocate,
should push it on and our good
writer's should use their pens to good
advantage in it's behalf in the state
papers, political, agricultural and re-
ligious.
We should insist that we have this
reform in the method of putting up
cotton. If a gin of this kind be put up
| it ought to have all the patronage it
possibly could handle from the start
even If the price for while should be
greater till it got started.

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner of Any State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity Of Grape-Nuts.

Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into form Of Sugar. and there
fore much easier to digest
Our claim that 1t is food for
Brain and Nerve Centres is based
upon the fact that certain parts OF
Wheat and Barley (which we use) con.
tain Natures brain and nerve, building
ingredients, viz: Phosphate Of Pot.
ash. and the way We prepare the food
makes II easy to digest and assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey In his book on
The Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
When the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range OF
the phosphate of potassium. insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
The gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cellsalt. potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen. and
by the addition OF oxygen creates nerve.
nuid, or the gray matter of the brain.
OF course. there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
ncrve-iiuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor. and has the power
within Itself TO attract, by Its own law
OF affinity. all things needed to manu-.
facture the elixir OF life. Therefore.
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the ncrve-nuid has been
exhausted from any cause. the phos.
phhte OF potassium Is the only true
remedy, because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
The Ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter OF the
brain cannot be overestimated.
Phosphate of Potash. is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man. and
the blessings 1t has already conferred
on the race are many. but what
shall the harvest be when physicians
everywhere fully understand the part
this wonderful salt plays In the
processes OF lIfe2 II will do as much
Rs can be done through physiology to
make a heaven on earth.

Let the weary wife. nerves unstrung

BIRDS FLocKEp TO FEAST.
v1Itures Came Down Head First with
Roar Like a War Rocket.

The rush of scavenger birds when
big game is killed is vividly described
by X. c. F. Maugham in book on

greater vultures fell, with wings
tightly folded, from a height of 300

THE startling noise made by these
heavy birds falling head foremost

CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
Glenn Walls Arc an Essential to
Sanitary Cooking.

It is not only important to know
how to cook, but 1t is equally impor-
tant to know where to cook. COOK
ing in dirty kitchen can never pro-
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months-sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have light tint that the mer-
est feck OF dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away: that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. 1t is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put wall coating on
kitchen wall that is mixed with not
water or that has glue in 1t, or sour
milk in it II mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly fiecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea of food
Favored with glue made from horses
hoofs is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larry in the spring and fall of each
year with light tint.
The care of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. II there are ant
holes or any other insects in the pan
tries a thick putty of the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes.
even small mice holes can be filled
with It which will protect the pantry
from the incursions of disagreeable
insects and mice.

Louis Jones of the Grand opera
house had the blues. His brother. n
colored man. usually In good humor,
had 'em, too. Neither knew Just why
ho had EN-, but they had EN- just the
same. They talked of the weather,
the times and a dozen other gloomy
subjects. There was nothing sunny
in the soul of Il patron or n barber.
Finally both sighed in concert and a
silence fell over the shop-yes, over a
barber shop. The colored man was
the first to speak. After several mo-
ments of silence he gave vent to an
other sigh and said:
We'll, as de old philosopah says:
