ecstasy Of Joy. The machine was driv.

More About SneeZing
Editor Echo:

Editor Echo:
Dear Sir: Your last issue of the
Echo contained an artical on Sneeze-
ing" and how to prevent it, which is
very bad advice. Don't stife a sneeze
is my advice.
Now sneeze may be a small thing
to write about, but it sometimes becomes
important, and, as life is made up
largely of small matters, it might be
interesting to note what "sneeze" is.
Sneezing, (Lat. Sternutation), is a
convulsive action of the respiratory
muscles, caused by irritation of some
part of the lining membrane Of the
nostr;ls; sternutation, (Sternutation,
onis;) to sneeze often - the act of
sneezing; more particularly, frequent
sneezing, which sometimes amounts to
such exc ess as requires medical treat
ment.
Reflex action. A term applied to
those involuntary movements caused
by some impression or irritation con-
veyed to the spinal marrow by the
afferent spinal nerves, in consequence
of which an excitement or impulse is
sent back by the spinal nerves, pro-
ducing the movements in question.
For instance, an irritation of the lining
membrane of the nostril causes the con-
vulsive involuntary movement of the
muscles of respiration, termed sneez-
ing. Sneezing is one Of natur's favor
lite means of getting rid of a bad
tenant.
Now when one feels like sneezing

sideration, for there are several kinds Of

on the upper lip Immediately beneath
the Septum Narium, (unless the finger
is we'll supplied with Scotch snuff,
which I highly recommend), look the

family doctor if I am not right. No
charge for this. 1t is as free as the all

Senator Paulhamus of Puyallup gave
his annual banquet to newspaper men
Wednesday evening and Journalists will

The usual speculation is INDUCED in
as to the proportion Of members who

OF course the only sure ones are the
hold-over senators. In spite of the
apparent wide spread dissatisfaction
with the work Of this session as whole
I predict the return of an extra large
proportion of its members, based on
the fact that they were generally good
fellows and the dissatisfaction is not
generally attributed to individual mem
bers, besides the appropriation bill
shows that each looked after his own
pretty well, and money not only makes
the mare go but likewise returns the
legislator to his job.

Georgia Under Prohibition

Poor old Georgia was condemned to
financial ruin when she decided to ex-
clude booze and struggle along without
the blood money the gin mills were
paying into her treasury. But the
Cracker State has finished the first year
on the water wagon and Treasurer Park
has just announced that the receipts of
the grand old state for the last twelve
months have been more than half a
million in excess of the receipts for the
previous year.
Even the Atlanta Journal, paper
which opposed statewide prohibition,
publishes the increase with great glee.
When the Atlanta Georgian was going
it alone in the battle against the saloons,
other Atlanta papers declared prohib-
ition meant financial ruin, but the
Georgian had logic, economics and
morality as the basis for its arguments,
and now it can say with pride, ! told
you so."-Nashville Tennesseean.

MIR. Bennett said last night:
1.-THE interest shown by the public in
the work of the Bureau of Soils is
growing by leaps and bounds. The
mail of the Bureau has doubled In the
past six months. The work in Ala
bama that seems to have attracted the
greatest attention is that being done
In Baldwin County. Numerous requests
for information concerning the soil of
that county reach the Bureau every
day from many points in the northern
States.
