We Make Tomorrow Of Today.

Some of us never seem to learn
10 take our troubles as they come;
To meet each worry in Its turn
We look ahead to borrow some.
Just when the rose is ruddiest
We grieve because it will not stay
Our hands upon the thorns are pressed
We make tomorrow Of today.
Some people-that is you and l.
Hush half the laughter on their lips,
Send it a-scurry with a sigh;
Or stale the wine another sips.
BY brooding on some fancied grief
That may await us on the way,
10 his own gladness each plays thief
He makes tomorrow Of today.
We trade the gold Of one days joy
For dross OF doubt and discomfort
The fine gold we dull with alloy
OF baser metals, meanly bent.
And yet tomorrow never shows
A dawn so dark or noon so gray
AS drawn by one whose borrowed woes
Have made tomorrow of today.
'Tis best to think each day is made
With all the goodness 1t can hold;
With all the sunshine and the shade,
And some small orrow to unfold.
Then waited from the Masters hand,
Where all of the tomorrow's stay
But still we cannot understand;
We make tomorrow Of today.

Take the roots of several ripe
questions land cover them we'll
with equal parts of fudge and dead
beets. Add modicum of sense and
a number of great scoops of nom
sense. Some of the more faStidious
often add a pinch of progress. but
this is mot absolutely necessary.
Stir in some carefully selected
verbiage strained through rhetor-

until the enthusiasm rises to the
top and then drop in handful of
candy dates.
! It is then ready for the griddle,
which is best made in the shape of
a platform constructed from we'll
worn planks.
Now let the whole thing boil and
bubble for several months. When
it is at white heat, garnish literally
with long green. Now let the
steam off and set aside to cool.
Preserve in alcohol for future use.

served in gum shoes, and should
also be taken with grain Of salt.

Notice of the Purpose Of the
Town of PelahatChie to Issue
Bonds.

Be it ordained by the board of Mayor
and Aldermen of the town of PeIahatchie
that notice be published in the Brandon
News, a newspaper having general circu-
lation in said town, for three weeks, of
the purpose of the board to issue the bonds
of the town to the amount Of six thousand
dollars, said bonds to bear interest at 6
per cent. per annun, payable semi an
nualIy. This bond issue is for the pur-
pose Of replacing the bond issue of 1904
issued for the purpose of building the
public school building, and for paying for
the annex which has been built thereto
This issue will be the entire bonded in
debtedness of the town to date, and it,
together with all the other indebtedness of
the town, will not exceed seven per
centum of the assessed value of the town.
Notice is hereby given that, unless twenty
per centum Of the adult tax payers Of the
town Of Pelahatchie shall petition this
board against said bond issue, it will, at
its next regular meeting, issue the bonds
of the municipality in the said sum Of six
thousand dollars. For Cause, that this
ordinance be in force from and after its
passage. Passed at regular meeting
August 4, 1908.

Illegal Practitioners.

DR.. S. H. Mclean secretary of
the Mississippi State Board of
Health, recently addressed a
circular letter to his colleagues
throughout the state, claiming that
incompetent or disqualified persons
are practicing medicine. He draws
attention to the law providing that
any person who shall practice
medicine without license shall be
fined not less than 500 nor more
than 5000, or be imprisoned in the
county Jail not exceeding thirty
days.
In the larger communities,
physicians unusually maintain
medical association with regular
meetings. Although it is not a d.
rect purpose of such association to
guard the public against fraud,
professional ethics and pride would
soon be up in arms against any
person practicing without the re-
CURED qualifications, so that this
very serious danger in such COM
munities is reduced to the mini
mum. In sparsely settled and
scattered rural communities the
chances for an interloper are better,
although it seems that the estab-
lished local practitioners, acquaint-
ed and on more or less familiar
terms with their clintele, would
soon hear of such infringement
upon their reserves and resent the
intrusion.
Still it is not to be supposed that
gentleman of DR.. McLean's stand
ing would have taken this step
without good and sufficient reasons.
If conditions exist as he states, he
has deserved we'll of us in drawing
attention to what soon might grow
into an established evil.
1t is up to the medical profession
to guard its efficient qualifications
and very few; especially in cases
of emergency, will inquire after a
diploma. The war waged upon
many self-professed specialists and
graduates of so-ealIed medical
schools, has greatly reduced the
number of quacks, and the world
did not suffer any loss from their
disappearance. In this case care
should be taken that no dangerous
precedents are established in the
state. Daily News.

Scott County Normal.

Not withstanding the heavy rains and
swollen streams, the first week Of the
Normal has been pre-eminentIy success.
All members of the faculty have their
work at heart and by their enthusiasm
and devotion to their profession are in
spring the young teachers to prepare for
the greater work which they are now
called upon to do.
Its indeed encouraging to those who
have the interest Of the child at heart to
see this splendid body Of young men and
young women working so earnestly that
they may better take care Of the great
trust placed IN their keeping.
They realize that this is an opportunity
for each one to get individual preparation

for the practical work. In the study Of
pedagogy common every day questions
and difficulties are discussed. each teach
er finds that her troubles are common to
the profession. And many young teachers
find that the problems with which thew
are now wrestling have already been SOL

perienceS OF others. 1t Is very gratifying
to see the genuine sympathy and fellow.

WOman's Charms Need no Trum-
pet.

No attractive girl or woman need
trumpet forth her own charms.
They will speak for themselves. If
she is pleasing to the masculine
sex, and if she is admired, her au-
dience will know the fact.
If men speak truthful compli-
ments to her face, they will repeat
them to others when her name is
mentioned 1t will not be necessa-
ry for her to tell even her best
friend how much a man admires
her.
The wise girl will be absolutely
silent in such matters. She will
answer all inquiries and all teasing
OF her companions regarding the
attitude of an admirer with the un-
compromising statement: Gle is a.
good friend. hope; like him, and
ind his companionship agreeable. -.
Not until a man has declared
himself an open sutton for wo-
mans hand in marriage, and she
mas decided in his favor, can she
with any delicacy or refinement in
innate to any one besides her pa
rents that he is more than a friend.
Nor can she be sure of the matter
until ne has so declared himself,
and her w0manly pride requires
silence.
When mans suit is rejected he
should rejoice at his escape if she
makes the fact known to her
friends. The woman who can Jest
or boast in a matter of this kind is
void OF one important quality which
IS needful in a good wife, viz:
Kindness and consideration for the
feelings of others.

About Bananas.

that the "banana contains more
nutriment than three pounds of
meat, whilst as a food it is in every
sense, superior to the best wheat
Bread 1t is evident, then, that
the banana meets the primary de-
mand of the tropics in that it
supplies large amount of nutri-
ment without a proportionate
expenditure of energy in produc-
ton, from northern viewpoint;
and from an economic standpoint
the fact that it meets the test is
evidenced by the remark of Hum
bo!dt, the German naturalist, to
to the effect that "thirty-three
pounds of wheat and ninety-eight
pounds of potatoes require for
their growth the same space of
ground as will produce four thous-
and pounds of bananas. Con-
sidering the larger amount of nutri-
ment credited to the banana in
comparison to meat or wheat bread,
and comparing the relative pro.
duction of one acre of wheat in the
north, and one of banana in the
south as food values, an imagi-
nation based only on the barren
vegetation of the snow zones can
hardly picture the tropical nourish-
ment afforded as man approaches
the equator. Not less surprising is
the conclusion of a lecture delivered
by the scientist, Sir William
Cookies. Speaking of the banana,
Sir William said: "No plant
known, occupying SO little space,
produces such an amount of nutri-
tative substance. When most of
the starchy substance of a ripe
banana has been reduced to sugar,
the fruit contains five per cent. of
albuminous matter, one per cent of
fat and more than twenty-five per
cent. of hydrocarbonaceous matter.
So much sugar is mingled with the
pulp that if sugar were not grown
in the same countries where ba-
nanas grew, the banana fruit
would furnish sugar with as great
profit as is gained from beets in
Europe
But in tracing the popularity of
banana in general, as based upon
a substantial food value, it must
not be overlooked, in particular,
that the Jamaica banana predomi-
mates in the markets of North
America. This predominance is the
result of combination of circum-
stances and intention. The ba-
mana grown in Jamaica was not
Indigenous to that island, or, in
other words it was imported from
another part of the tropics to find
nourishment and cultivation 9 in
Jamaica. The banana so widely
known as the jamaican in the
markets of the United States, was
born in Martinique, reared in ia
macia and sent to school in
North America. 1t is true that
bananas may be induced to grow
in Florida but the climate is not
tropical enough to grow them
