SUIT YOUR SOIL.

BY Planting the Things Adapted you
Will Succeed.
Most of us make the great mistake
Of trying to grow what we want Y"
grow on certain place, without CIV
ing much thought to what it would
grow best. AS a matter of fact, all
soils will grow something; and we want
to find out what the soil used is best
suited to. The dry desert plains grow
the cactus. The valleys, mountains,
plains, deserts, boys, sands, clays, all
have plants peculiarly adapted to
each. The pond grows the water lily.
II we should try to grow this lily on
the hill out of the water, and the corn
In the pond, we would not meet with
much success; yet we often do things
nearly as bad as this.
II we give the subject some study,
we will find that it is not always the
most fertile lands that will give the
greatest profit. Peas, peanuts, sweet
potatoes, melons, peaches. plums, all
do best on poor or medium soils;
and as much, or more, can be made
by growing these on poor land than
by raising cotton and corn on rich
land. I have often seen fields OF
corn planted on poor land that would
not yield five bushels per acre. Then
It took several workings to make that
much; while If the same land had
been planted in peas, it would have
made five or ten bushels, besides
twenty to thirty dollars worth of
pea-vine hay, and with not over one or
two plowings. With the same work
and fertilizer that the corn received
one hundred bushels Of sweet pota-
toes per acre could have been made
It takes good land to make corn and
the grain or grass crops. In fact,
think it is almost just a matter of
how much feed you give it as to how
much corn can be made per acre. Mr..
McIver Williamson uses 800 to 1000
pounds Of fertilizer per acre and gets
rs to 125 bushels Of corn per acre. It
takes good land and rich, rich land
for strawberries, and lots Of hard
work. On the old red clay hills as
many quarts of dewberries per acre
may be grown and with very little
work, and dewberries bring nearly as
| much as Strawberries
Rich lands are a detriment to
many things. For instance, peaches
on rich land will usually rot. Melons
and potatoes will run to vine to the
cost of fruit, and so on in many
things. There is not an acre or cor,
ner on the place that is not suitable
to something; and what we want to
| do is to find out what is the most
suitable, what will grow. there and
give the greatest returns for the least
labor and expense.-Paul Hoffman, in

A Change for the Better.

Miss Lillian B. Hill, the advertising
expert, said at a clothiers' banquet in
Grand Rapids:
Il am glad you clothiers now adver.
tise, now print pictures of mems and
boys fashions. Thus you smarter up
the country, and you help to abolish
the cutting-down of the fathers clothes
for the son.
"You have educated our little boys
to dress and few of them could bear
to wear now their fathers garments
made over by their mothers awkward
hands.
ut was not always so. 1 remember
how, in the distant past, my little
brother rushed whimpering into my

beard shaved off, and now I guess
I've got to wear the old red thing!'"

The Educated Will


All classes Of thinkers. realizing that
suucation is the nations first problem,
nave contributed to the discussion of
Inc school question. The physician
mas made his plea for the child's
uealtn. the clergyman has put in his
"ord for religious instruction. the en-
pioyer has asked the schools to send
VIM graduates trained in the rudf-
ments OF business. All this interest in
sducation stimulates teachers and
Keeps the schools abundantly euuipped
ana progressive. But under all the
varied questions, the fundamental pur-
pose OF education Is sometimes buried
from sight. Prof. Friedrich Paulsen.
D German teacher and philosopher,
las recently summoned his country
men TO remember the old moral roots
d education. His article, translated
IN the Educational Review, bids us
nold fast to the principles that educa-
ton means training in obedience, ap-
phcat1on, and the subsection of the
young will to the older disciplined will.
Ih1s philosopher and teacher of ethics
knows that the civilized human being
10 ne who can drive controlled mind
20 a definite goal, and that schools and
parental discipline and churches have
rs their object the making of civilized
men and women out Of raw material.
30 tnat when devotee Of "child-psy-
cnology" advocates study Of the child
oent and adaptation of educational
methods to the young individual soul,
1ne old-fashioned teacher agrees, pro-
Vlded the teacher and not the child
Is TO do the adapting. When the
preacher Of health and nature shows
the beautiful development of free
childhood running wild in the open
helds, the old-fashioned teacher admits
the poetry of the idea, but insists that

when the pedagogical expert devises

to do his work thoroughly in each sub
1ect, whether he likes it or not.

DO AWAY WITH DOUBLE CHIN
Exercises and Applications That VIII
Strengthen the Muscles Will
Restore Good APP
pearance.

Double chins are Of various kinds.
There is the chin which is simply too
fat. Then there is the double chin
which is caused by the shortness Of
the neck and the habit of carrying the
chin too low. And again, there is the
chin which merely looks double be-
cause of faulty dress, as by wearing
collars too tight.
The necklace calls attention to the
double chin. Before putting on a
necklace the woman with a fat chin
should massage it downward. She
should take the palm of her hand and
stroke the tip of her chin with a Wig
Orous stroke.
Then she should rub right down
from the end of the chin to the dip
in the throat.
Alcohol strengthens the muscles Of
the neck. Dash your throat with alco-
hol and massage it downward. An
other excellent massage for remov-
ing the double chin is the ice massage.
Press the ice securely upon the flesh
and massage down. A dozen treat
ments will cure the worst case imag-
Unable.
The throat of the young girl is slim
and her head sits upon her neck as
upon a pedestal. Her shoulders are
sloping and her whole appearance is a
study in curves; her neck is but a
stem which supports her head. But
as she grows older the throat thickens
from neglect, the curved chin becomes
square and under the chin there come
rolls of flesh, and this stage marks the
old woman.
A stringy chin can be hardened by
Shaping it with cologne water. The
slapping should take place at night
and the hand should be filled with
the perfume and spatted on the neck
A chin that is held high does not
look as fat as the chin that is Struggled
down in the neck. Lift your chin, twist
your head, throw it back until the
couture rests upon your shoulders
and you will get some idea of neck
and chin exercise.
Dancing is the best exercise for a
double chin. The head is thrown tc
one side and the neck is made supple
The Spanish dances and the so-called
skirt dances are good for the exercise
| of the neck muscles.
An exercise practiced by actresses
is that of touching the ear to the
shoulder. Each day the ear is rubbed
upon the shoulder half dozen. times
| in quick succession until the neck is
supple.
You should be able to span YOU
throat with your thumbs and frs
fingers. Touch your thumbs together
under your chin, and if your throat i:
in proportion to your size your fore
fingers will just meet at the back.

the planters have raised for
years the finest cotton and corn

Down in this section there

In Columbia and other towns

impossible to buy cigar or a
