SOME RULES FOR SUMMER.

Every summer this paper publishes
accounts of heat prostrations and ev-
cry summer every other paper in the
country publishes the same sort of
| accounts. Yet a prominent physician,
an eminent specialist in such matters,
has just declared that If we Ameri-
cans would only use common sense,
the hot weather death lists would
diminish at least seventy-five per
cent.
That is the statement of DR.. Fred
eric NJ. Lawrence. Writing in Hamp-
tons Magazine, and using the fearless
tone which characterizes that publ
cation, he says:
The fact is, that nowhere so much
as in the ordering of our summer life
are we so little the common-sense
people we suppose ourselves to be.
At this moment there are hundreds
of us who, seemingly well, will be-
fore the end of August be dead and
buried simply and solely because of
our ignorance and our folly-ignor-
ance which ordinary thought should
enIighten and folly which even sor-
rowing friends should find it hard to
pardon
That is a statement which sounds
somewhat hard, perhaps even cruel.
yet another statement-the simple
statement of the simple rules to de-
feat the ills of the summertime-wiH
demonstrate it's perfect truth. Here
are the rules:
Make your work as light as pos
sibIe.
Wear only the Ightest clothing,
and as few garments as the law al
lows.
Take a cold bath every morning
and a tepid one every afternoon.
Eat sparingly, principally fresh
vegetables, stunning all fats and
starchy foods, avoiding the deadly
fruit-salad and taking no fruit which
has not been either washed or peel
ed Immediately before it is served.
Drink no spirituous liquors.
Sleep, if it is possible, at midday:
always stay abed eight hours every
night and always sleep under a mos
quito-netting.
Make your vacation absolutely diff
ferent from your daily life.

SHOT FOR HER RIGHTS.

A grOuchy Atlanta husband went
home one night this week and growIed
at his wife because his midnight lunch
did not suit him. He said she couldn't
boil water and made a few more re-
marks that married women frequently
hear from tobacco-scented husbands.
The wife became so enraged that she
seized a revolver and began to put
holes in the unappreciative man so
that the food he did not like could run
out of his interior. After making
four perforations in his hide, she told
the neighbors that she had stood his
complaints for six months and was
getting tired of them. The man will
not die. and 1t is safe to predict that
he will never again complain about
his victuals. Other women might try
this method on their fault-finding
husbands. The treatment is a little
severe, but it will prove effective. Of
course, delicate woman might not
feel able to deliberately wound her
husband with a bullet from pistol,
but she could throw f1atirons or stab
him with a hatpin and the result prob
ably would be the same. He certain
~ would pause before he made an
other growl about The food set before
him at home! f.3s= Z
1t has become evident that the ad-
vice of f'How to Keep Husband
Happy as printed in thes magazines
can not be followed by every woman,
because this advice is always to the
effect that the husband should be
properly fed, and every woman can
not learn to cook any more than every
man can learn to act like a gentleman
at all times. The Atlanta woman evil
IDENTIFY could not cook. and as her hus-
band could not act like a gentleman
she did the best thing she could to
have the matter brought to definite
understanding. From now on he will
either eat what his wife cooks or he
will hire a chef who can prepare his
meals in the way he desires The
problem is solved as far as one family
is concerned. Will other women profit
by the Atlanta woman's example or
will they continue to be made the tar
get of sneers and jests by husbands
who will eat lunch counter pie and
then find fault with home cooking p

German Spies in England.

The war office has been annoying
the weIl-known and charming English
author, Mr. William LIE Queux. 1t
seems Mr.. LIE Queux has written a
book called 1.-The Spies of the Kaiser, -
which was published this week. In this
book Mr.. LIE Queux set forth in melo-
dramatic form various information that
he has collected concerning German
spies in England.
It is a severe arraignment of the
English foreign office. He shows by
several fac-simile documents that
there are somer 5000 German spies To-
Gated in England, mainly on the east
coast, and that this system of espion-
age is controlled from a central head
in London.
Mr.. LIE Queux does not pretend that
the statements in his book are abso-
lutte facts, but they are, however, a re-
Election on conditions that exist.

preston of his book by the war office,

SUGAR BETS AND BEET SUGAR.
1hough sugar can be extracted
from many plants, the worlds supply
% sugar comes at present from only
W. pant species. sugar cane and
sugar Deets. and it comes about
equally from each. The former is
grown only in tropical or subtropical
CLIMATES, the latter only in temperate
climates.
The great bulk of the beet sugar
consumed is made in European coun-
tries, Germany, Russia, Austria Hun
gary, ana France being the leading
producers. But in recent years the
young ana rapidly growing beet sugar
industry in the United States has
come INTO prominence. There are
now o. active beet sugar factories in
TINS country located in 16 different
states. Last year the farmers of
these states harvested about $4,000
acres OF beets. and delivered to the
factories 3,415,000 tons of beets.
From these nearly 100000 tons of re-
fined sugar was made
The United States department of
agriculture has just issued its annual
report on Progress of the Beet
Sugar Industry in 1908" One
marked feature of progress is seen in
the improved quality of the beets
grown The entire beet crop for
1913 averaged Is ga per cent of
sugar in the beets. The factory pro-
cesses have also been improved I'M
til the refined sugar produced is
about four-f1fths of that contained in
the beets.
One of the instructive features of
this report is an account Of the use
of by products. The beet plup from
which the sugar has been extracted is
a valuable stock food. and vast guam
titles of it are fed in the fresh state
to cattle and Sheep It finds especial
favor with dairymen. A dozen or
more factories have installed plants
for drying pulp. With this is mixed
molasses, the product being put on
the market as s"dried- classes beet
pulp" The molasses is also extern
siyely used in the manufacture of
alcohol.
The prospects for further develop
ment of. the industry are reported to
be good. Plans are on foot for the
building of several new fectories.-

Alcohol and Gout.

OF all articles of diet those most
likely to bring on govt are alcoholic
drinks of all kinds, although there
are a few that are really compare
lively harmless in this respect, such
as whisky and light Rhine wines. 1t
may be noted in passing that govt
is comparatively uncommon in Scot
land and the Rhine provinces, where,
respectively whisky and light hooks
are popularity consumed in preference
to heavy matted liquors. The late
Sir Alfred Garrod, who was an ac-
knowledged authority on govt, very
strongly expressed his opinion of the
part played by alcoholic drinks in the
production of govt in the following
terms: There is no truth in medi-
cine better esta bIished than the fact
that the use of fermented liquors is
the most powerful of all the predis-
posing causes of govt; nay, so pow
erfu1 that it may be a question wheth-

been INDUCED in."-London Tele-

AS TWTLIGHr FALLs.

As twilight falls and everything
prepares to take peaceful rest;
men, love, my thoughts will fly to thee,
TO dwell with one I love the best.
WITHIN the haven of thy heart
Most blissful rest I hope to find
And though the world around me storms,
what care if thou still art kind?
AS twilight falls and night comes on,
NO darkness will O'ercloud my soul,
And shall rest contentedly
In thy fond heart, my long-sought goal.
Inou eer shalt be my SOULS true guide,
MY Deckon1ng star, so clear and bright,
That lights the pathway of my life
To ever teach me what is right.
We win not mind, though twilight falls,
For lovers eyes, though shut, can see;
ana though black darkness may surround
MY heart will find its way to thee.
NO barriers can intervene
Through which love will not find the
way
For it hath e'er an inner light
To pierce the dark to find the day.
And when Hfe's twilight softly falls
Upon our faithful hearts, at last,
To bid our freed souls upward soar
When earthly days too soon are mast:
men may we go, with hand in hano,
10 our dear Fathers home above.
TO dwell forever side by side,
In an eternal, blissful love.
