Peasant Custom Which Is Worry
ing the Russian Government.

In the province OF Piskov In Rus
sia there are peasants who are ad-
dicted to what is practically hiberna-
ton. When the harvest has failed
and provisions are scarce. they lay
down on the top of the great stove
In the inner room. the kitchen OF
their hut. The stove is high, reach
Ing almost to the roof, and the space
tetween the great brick structure
and provisions are scarce, they lie
place of the family.
Lying down upon the long. fiat
stone. the peasants avoid all conver-
sation and all eXertion, except as IS
necessary to keep the stove replen-
ished and to sustain life by eating a
little black bread soaked In water.
The hut is both dark and silent
throughout the winter.
This custom is called jejka. 1t Is
not, of course, calculated to develop
the resources of the region where it
obtains, and It is said that the Rus
sian Bureau OF Statistics has lately
Uasun to Inquire into the matter.

Waring saw she had letter In her
hand. IL struck him that she had
been writing to Statham; the sort OF

'Ready?' he asked. little
throaty, but determined to avoid

That was the real tragedy OF her
life, poor thing. that scene in the
drawing room. / don't know just
what passed. / imagine that she
must have tried to-not to persuade
exactly-but to point out that the
letter did not make any difference;
that 1t was probably only one OF
Statham's little ways. But Warin9
had a lively sense of the conven-
ances, you know.
II expect, too, she didn't look
quite up to the mark that morning.
She used to get washed out pretty

remained In her face nothing but

little alarming for a man like War

future, of what she would be for
ever and ever, in that pale woman.
That and the Idea OF running away
with-with the wife of corpse were
q little too noticeable even for War
ing.
Anyhow, as we were carrying
Statham up the steps-all that re-
mained Of him-Waring was coming
down. He never saw her again; took
a trip round the world; bolted. in
fact. He would have faced the scan
dal the other way; he would have
stuck to her. too; he'd even have
faced out the being tied to her as
he saw her then; l suppose because
he would have had the run for his
money-the glow and the glamor.
That's what 1t amounts to-"

"Dapper Waring," he said dis

The other had the air of shudder-

matter of going back to old times,

man who had come back "warted to

then the other, and was the older
man and the quieter. His beard was
trimmed square, and was thick. At
home. he had q collection of very
choice water colors, and underneath
his broad, bare forehead another Of
modern instances. All these things
gave him an air of balance and ass

''Oh, it was the other way round"
he said. You see, Waring had got
as far as packing his bag. Further,
You didn't know Mrs. Stathem, or

COUNTY HEADS MEET
sUPERiNTENDENTs DISCUSS WORK
 ALLOTTED TO THEM.
After Address of Presiaenf NcAdory Papers Bearing on Conduet of Rural Schools Are Read
 --VfnftOrs PIensed.

The county superintcndents held enthusiastic meetings yesterday morn ing and afternoon in the rooms of the Commercial Club. Practically the whole day was consumed in the dis cussions taken up at the two sessions. the morning meeting beginning at o'clock and closing at 12 noon. the afternoon meeting opening at o'clock and ending at 5 o'clock. About thirty superintendents. from all parts of the State, were present at the two meet fngs. which proved very entertaining and were filled with spirited discus sions of vital issues.
 The morning meeting opened with the Annual Address, by President l. w. McAdory. President McAdory made very able talk in which he briefly outlined the problems confronting the Superintendents of the State and the objects of the meeting in progress. He took occasion also to congratulate those present upon the interest being displayed in the movement for the betterment of existing educational con- ditions.
 Following the address of the Presi- dent. J. M. Lannon's. Superintendent of Gepeva County. spoke on the sub ject, ''rhe Supplement for Insufficient State Funds" Mir. Lammons handled the various phases of his subject very interestingly. and in the informal gen. eral discussion that ensued. many sug- gestions for alieviating present condi- lions and removing the handicap in- posed by restricted funds, were offered by the members participating.
 The final subject of the morning ses- sion. How may we secure Uniformity of Grading in the Country Schools" was discussed by s. R. Butler. Superin- tendent of Choctaw County. and D. V. Smith. Superintendent of Cuilma n County. All present were agreed as to the necessity of uniformity of grading in the schools. It was suggested that In order to accomplish this result. the teachers should be graded in regard to their ability. The keeping of a record book. in which should be entered reports and expense data. met with general approval as an aid to the &C., complishment of the desired object. The afternoon session opened with

STRONG AS 4 MULE
Farmer Gets Power From Good.

Anyone can better his condition. if eating improper food. by changing to the right kind.
 It is becoming we'll known among all classes of people in this country that strength of mind and body come from the nourishment that Is taken into the system In the form of food.
 A cowboy whose stomach got all out or order on ranch. went to farming and incidentally found the cause of his trouble and the way out of it. He writes:
 T was raised on a COW ranch. lived like the rest on beef and potatoes, oft en eating too much. until my stomach became so weak and I was so run down I had to quit the lob,
 Then I tried farming but did not get any better. My nerves were all unstrung and I could not sleep at night A year ago I saw an ad. about Grape-Nuts being such a wonderful food, and told my wife I was going to try 1t.
 'so I bought a box of Grape-Nuts and by the time had used this food two weeks the weakness began to leave my stomach.
 'Now I weigh 1s4 pounds and am as strong as a mule. We eat Grape Nuts for breakfast, and also take some as a lunch between meals. must say that Grapa-Nuts is the best food there is. and nearly everyone in town. sec ing my improvement. has taken to eat ing it."

the transaction of business including the election of officers for the ensuing year. J. C. Williams, of Talladega was elected President, and B. V. Butler. Of Madison, Secretary. The executive committee win be appointed by the new president.
 Having disposed of all business. the subject. What Conditions should In- fluence the Country in making the ap- portionment of Funds" was discussed thoroughly by John C. Williams, ot Talladega. and T. J. Lamar of Walker. The speakers were frequently inter rupted to give an explanation, or to H. lustrate a point. It was agreed that educational advancements of the diff ferent sections should materially in- fluence the distribution of funds. For example, in a rural district teachers. absolutely fitted for work in that locality. can be employed at a muon less salary than suitable teachers in a more populous district. Thus with an equal population. more money is required to meet the needs of educa- tion under the latter conditions than under the former. That the unmodified per capita distribution is unjust. said one of the speakers. cannot be denied.
 Along this line, however a powerful plea was entered for the poor children or the DAchWOO0S 0lStflcLS. The point was only brought forth that for ele- mentary education, and this Is the education primarily essential for the back country districts. less funds are required than where education has taken further strides.
 '"rhe Relation of the County Superin- tendent to the County Boards" was the last subject on the program dis cussed by R. F. Bloupt. of Washing ton. Mir. Blount emphasized the need of mutual confidence and cooperation between the Superintendent and the Board. The best results could only be secured he declared, when the two were fin hearty sympathy with each other Working together they formed powerful factor for good.
 The meeting adjourned at about s o'clock. All expressed themselves as delighted with Montgomery. and with the manner in which the meetings were conducted.

DREARY PICTURE
LONDON AS SEEN THROUGH AN
 ENGLIsHMAN's EYES.
Figures Which Lay Stress on Big Cityss Dark Side---One Person In Three Dies h Public
 Institution.

London means a place where one person in every three dies in a work house. q hospital or a lunatic asylum. If you take only the grown-up people who die in London. probably one in two dies in these public refugees. If you take the working classes. the pro. portion is still higher.
 Are there any facts which show more clea-ly what London means? At any rate, this "one-in-three fact"-the stu- pendous fact that in London one in three dies in a workhouse. hospital or a lunatic asylum--is worth fixing in the mind. worth taking home with one, worth spreading abroad writes Marcus Woodward fin The London Ex- press. It speaks more eioquently than any description of the poverty of Lon doners. and the diseased stae of their minds and bodies.
 We know that London is the wealth.
