To DIspel Flesh.

If you are overstout, don't use
drugs.
They may bring on another evil
worse than flesh.
Use the flesh brush. Get square
cornered clothes brush of manila
fibre.
At first the skin will be sensitive,
but use the brush gently and steadily
and 1t will not irritate.
Pay attention to the muscles OF the
shoulders and arms, and especially
the back of the neck where that nm
slightly mound of flesh rises.
Whenever you can walk, do so.
Imagine that the trolley car engen-
ders disease.
When you feel sleepy so out in the
sunshine on an interesting mission.
Do your sleeping at night and omit
the afternoon nap. - New York

She Can Gossip in 1s Tongues.

Marteina Kramers, of Rotterdam,
ranks among the first of women lin
gusts. She can read and speak thir-
teen languages, and there are few
men in the world who can equal that
record. Besides, she has sufficient
knowledge of seven other languages
to converse in them, and she has
planned to add new language to her
list every six months for several
years. Miss Kramers also ranks as
one of the most influential suffragette
In Europe. She is editor of Jus
Suffragii, the official organ of the
International Woman Suffrage AL

Don't Work by Poor Light.

1t is great mistake to sew, read
or do other close work by artificial
light which comes from any distance
much above the level of the eye. Uss
a kerosene or gas lamp, which can
be placed at the proper height.
To demonstrate the truth of this
observation, one has only to sit in-
doors in the daytime and let the light
pour through the upper foot or two
of the window, keeping the rest OF
the window securely lightproof. The
eyes will soon tell you of the unwise
strain.-Indianapolis News.

We Ansered English surroglst.

Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson still is try
ing to convince the English that
American women are interested only
In themselves. It is the dull season
for the suffragette in England, and
probably that is why Mrs. Golden
Sanderson is raking over the old
Goals. She was not especially graft
fed by the results of her mission
here, and she has deemed 1t wise to
grow more emphatic In her criticism
of the American women than she was
a few months ago, when fresh from
her fruitless visit to this country.
Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson and Mrs.
HumpAry Ward agree that there is
little prospect of campaign here for
the ballot box for women, but the
novelist has been more reserved In
her accounts of her meetings with
American won en- in their clubs and
homes. OF course, woman is entitled
to her own opinion; still it seems the
part OF blind courage, If not audaci-
ty, for an Englishwoman to stay here
a few weeks and then return to her
home to deliver a verdict upon Amer
lean womanhood. The trouble with
Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson and Mrs.
Ward Is that they have not weighed
the radical differences in the posi-
tions of women in this country and in
England. The incentive to agitation,
to the batting of legislators and Cab
met members, does not exist here es

simple remedy of French chalk and a

When to Buy shoes.

1t is said that people should never
go in the early morning to buy shoes.
for the feet are then smaller than
they are at any other time of the day.
Later the feet are the maximum size,
owing to walking and standing.
Many people do not agree with this,
for they think that later in the day,
when shoes have been worn, the feet
contract. However, try on shoes at
both times-morning and afternoon.
Then they will be sure to fit.-Rich-
mond Times-Dispatch

SOME TEMPERANCE NOTES.

Whiskey interests of Winchester, Va,
are endeavoring, so it is reported, to
prevent Speaker Byrd's selection as a
delegate to the Roanoke Convention.
Samuel Bray was fined $50 and costs
at Warrenton for violation of the Byrd
law. Bray was charged with buying
whiskey, which he admitted, for a
young man who is said to be a habitual
drunkard. He was committed to Jail
in default-of payment.
Novel experiments have proved that.
while alcohol is theoretically a food,
its efficiency is so small that half a
gallon would be required to run the
human machine for a days mountain
climbing. 1t diminishes the amount of
work performed by the body per minute
about one-sixth.
DR.. Wiley, of Washington, the man
ager of the poison food squad''
fields of temperance and prohibition, de-
ciares that the great evil of drink comes
from the use of adulterated liquors. He
denounced the habit of parents who
drugged their infants into slumber by
the wholesale dosing of soothing syrup.
which is nothing more nor less than
dangerous dope. His main theme,
however, was the fact that pure food
means longer lives.

BOAT NOTES.

The ste amer Middlesex made her
first trip on Rappahannock Saturday
morning since she has been overhauled.
She looks spick and span and as bright
as new dollar.
H. E. Owen, of Weems, has received
information from the u. S. Light House
Engineer that the Government pile
driver will be at Weems next week anG
put up three beacons-two at the en-
trance of Carriers Creek and one on
Gally Hook Point, in the Geek.
Owens Railway at Weems is having
built large shed preparatory to erect
ing suitable machinery to manufacture
and repair gasoline engines. The fol-
lowing vessels were on the railway
recently for overhauling and repairs:
Raymond Marguerite, Domicil, Millissa
and Wesley, Fannie and John Stevens.
The square-rigger may find conso-
iation in the fact that it is not the onlv
type OF vessel that is doomed, said the
old sailing master. 'Its distant cousin,
the tramp, that much abused and
missused name being applied to about
every cargo steamer that doesn't carry
the mails, is having hard time making
living. The trampis frequently heav-
lily mortgaged to her builders, which
naturally would handicap her profitable
operation. Shipmen seem to think
that the ocean is narrowing for the
tramp and in time they may disappear
altogether.
Announcement is made that the
present year will see the beginning
of the building of two 1000 foot steam
ships for the Atlantic passenger and
freight service. Once there was an
ocean steamship which was so large
and so powerful that it was called the
Wonder of the. Day. 1t measured l6O
feet In length over all and was equipped
with engines of no less than 200 horse
power. 1t was as much of a wonder of
the day and of the world then as the
Mauretania is now; and more since
1t was far greater advance beyond the
pre-existing types of vessels. Doubt-
less people imagined that the shin was
the last word in naval architecture and
engineering and that nothing materially
to surpass it was reasonably to be ex-
pected.

veloping Senator Morgan views

POLITICAL. =

Ex-Governor Tyler announces that he
will not oppose Slemp for Congress.
Marcus Jones, formerly of Gloucester
county, has been nominated by the
Democrats as mayor of Newport News,
in which city he has been residing some
years.
1t is reported that Ruth Bryan Lea
witt, daughter of William j. Bryan,
will take the stump in Colorado, Wyo-
ming and other Western states, where
female suffrage is allowed. and will
make political speeches in favor of her
father if he is nominated for the pres
idency.
The delegates representing the negro
republicans of the First Congressional
district met last week at Newport
News and elected a delegation to at
tend the Chicago National Convention
and contest the seats of the delegates
elected at the regular district conven-
ton held at Cape Charles recently.
The Lynchburg News is very well
come to all the comfort it can extract
from our claim that Congressman are
mere men, not angels, in politics, and
are willing to avail themselves of any
advantage in political contest, even to
the strategic extent of denying the
other fellow a square deal.
Appeal. e. al -
With the delegates so far elected Sec
rotary Taft now has a total of 574
votes, or SO more than enough to nom
mate in the Republican national con-
vention next month. His majority ex-
ceeds the total, tpumber3 of contested
delegations. Only one State conven-
ton, that of Texas, and seven district
conventions remain to be held.
AS the situation is sized up in the
daily papers there seems no little OPP
position to Bryan in Virginia. The
news so far would Indicate a shot fight
in Virginia over the question whether
the State should instruct for Bryan or
not. Mr.. Bryan is reported as watch
ing the situation very closely and has
recently visited Virginia to look over
the situation.
Governor Swanson, while in Wash
ington attending the conference at the
White House last week, was quoted by
the Herald of that city as follows: "Gov-

SOME NOTES
OF interest to Farmers and Truckers

Asparagus season is about over, the
crop was fairly good but prices low.
Peas and beets are being shipped from
this section this week in fairly good
quantities. Neither crop will be up to
the standard.
Prof. Andrews, of Johns Hopkins,
says that earth worms are tree planters,
as they carry down into their borrows
small seeds which later sprout and grow.
Earth worms are. according to Darwin,
eminently useful, as they bring to the
surface great quantities of soil, and are
in way sort of ploughmen
INSECT DESTRUCTION OF CROPS AND
FRUITS.
Whatever affects the food crops af-
fects every American obviously. be he
the farmer who grows the grain, the
miller who grinds it, the grocer who
sells it, or the city dweller who con-
sumes it. So there is something almost
startling in the figures compiled by DR..
G. L. Marlatt, of the Bureau of Ento-
mology of the National Department of
Agriculture, who says that there are
few years in which the loss on the
wheat crop caused by the Hessian fiy
is less than ten per cent, estimating
that on the crop of 1900 the damage APP
preached 500, 900, 900. DR.. Marlatt's
figures for 1904, for example, put the
loss caused by insects at $50, 600, 600, for
the corn crop. 800, 900, 600 for the wheat
crop, and $5So.O00 for the hay crop,
while the codling moth alone caused
$40. 900, 900 loss on the fruit crop. The
total destruction of farm products by
insects in that year DR.. Marlatt esti-
mated at $795, 900, 900.
Competent authorities assert that
much of this loss is due to the wholesale
killing of birds the true insect destroyers.
