have not any, get few and
start raising now. Grow abund-
ance of sweet and Irish pota-
toes, plant sugar cane or sorghum
for syrup and if you have no seed,
have your merchant order you such
quantity as you may need, by ex-
press, quickly.
You are spending your vitality
and energy supporting Northern
and Western interests and pro-
ducts. Horses, mules, corn, meal,
oats, lard, dry salt ribs and bacon,
wheat and -four, barley, rye and
hay are all soaring mountain high
in value, sapping the very life
blood of the South's commercial
interests to pay for them. The
freight on these commodities alone
and the profits derived from the
sale, support the brokers and
packing houses, the granaries and
railroads of this country.
Raise everything you can your
self and buy only that which you
cannot produce. If you will but
follow this advice, you will i'm
prove and strengthen your credit.
No banker or merchant or broker
or money-lender will continue to
extend accommodations here or
elsewhere, unless he can feel that
he is safe. Therefore it behooves'
all farmers and planters to pre-
pare to live at home next year.
You are bound to admit that corn,
oats, meal, crushed feed, -four,
meat and hay are the principal
part of that large account that you
are bound to pay with medium or
low priced cotton, preventing your
often times supplying yourself and
your family with the necessities Of
life, to which you are entitled; and
while reading and digesting this,
remember the disaster that con-
fronts US with cotton, namely the
boll-weevil. Prepare for him in
every way-get ready to fight, even
ifnot already gired up for the fray,
for you are indeed, without fear
of contradiction, up against the
fight of your lives. Read and re-
read all the good articles in your
possession. looking to the partial
determination of the past.
Summarizing the set rules, it
dwindles down to but few words:
Prepare your ground well, plant
your cotton early, using the earliest
varieties within your reach, fertil-
ize well, work like a prize fighter
hits-which is fast and often. land
let Us hope for good results, and
that the victory may be yours for
ever.

Education is not a preparation
for life, it is life.-Dewey.

Some of the schools that have
won the flag for the greatest ma
terial Improvement in the past
have not kept the pace that they
have started. Window panes are
out; desks are scratched and cut;
pictures are torn from the walls or
hanging carelessly; library books
are lost; grounds have grown up
in weeds and briers; and general
conditions giving evidence of de-
terioration. In this, we have an
other reminder that the human
race is never at a stand-still it is
either on the road of progress or on
the road to ruin.

SOUTH STREETS JAM.
Place Where There Are NO Half Ho!i-
days for Traffic Squad Men.


Saturday afternoon seems like a
slack time for most folks who are in
business, even in winter. In the sum-
mer certainly most working persons
get away early. But to the man who
believes that most of world is taking
half holiday just because he gets
one trip up South street in the aft
ernoon will prove a revelation.
For one thing, that much discussed
adjunct to te police force, the traffic
squad, never gets to know what Sat-
urday half holiday is apparently.
South street, with the freight piers
and the ferries is jammed full Of
trucks all afternoon.
The man who believes the traffic
squad men have an easy time when
they are handling just trucks, unmtx-
ed with pleasure traffic. will see how
wrong he is. Down there the traffic
men have an afternoon of unmixed
hard labor, and the wonder is that
they accom- n3rlish as much as they do.
The hundreds of trucks they deal
with are kept we'll in line, and the
work the truckmen do is facilitated by
the clever traffic men. This Is part
of the city where visitors are few, and
for that reason the excellent work OF
the traffic squad does not come into
general notice.

SALT AS A PAMhCEA.
Some of the Many and Varied Uses to
Which IL Is Put.

WHiCn IL 10 FSI-
Salt can almost be regarded as a
panacea, so many and varied are it's
uses.
We are told that it cleaEses the pal
ate and furred tongue, and a gargle OF
salt water is often efficacious.
A pinch of salt on the tongue, fol-
lowed ten minutes afterward by
drink of cold water. often cures sick
headache. 1t harGeus' gums, makes
teeth white and sweatens the breath
Cut flowers may be kept fresh by
adding salt to the water.
Weak ankles should be rubbed with
a solution of salt, water and alcohol
Bad colds. hay fever and kindred
affections may be much relieved by
using fine dry salt like snuff.
Dyspepsia, heartburn and indlges-
ton are relieved by & cup OF hot wa
ter in which a small spoonful of salt
has been melted.
Salt and water will sometimes re-
yive an unconscious person when hurt
if brandy or other remedies are not at
hand. Hemorrhage from tooth pulling
is stopped by filling the mouth with
salt and water.
Weak and tired eyes are refreshed
by bathing with warm water and salt.
Many public speakers and singers
use a wash of salt rnd water before
and after using the voice. as 1t
strengthens the organs of the throat.
Salt rubbed into the scalp or occa'
sionally added to the water IN WASH
ing prevents the hair falling out,
Feathers uncurled by damp weather
are quick!y dried by shaking over a
fire in which salt has been thrown.
Salt should always be eaten WIN
