Adam was a loafer and Eve had

While man. with his ponderous
stone club, was clambering over
the Jurassic hills, looking for nine
foot lizards, his wife was at home
tending her garden.
6 She discovered that corn, ground
up and baked, was a pretty good
diet. She learned how to smoke
and salt the meat her husband
brought home on his lucky days.
She discovered the value Of ami
mails pelts as clothing and bed
covering, and chewed the hides
with her teeth to make them soft
and pliable against her lord and
masters delicate skin. She wove
mats out of rushes, and thus in
vented weaving.
Then the cave woman was the
first teacher. She taught her
daughter how to spin and SOW, and
her sons how to make their first
bows and arrows and their stone
headed spears. Her daughter
taught what she knew to her chill
dren. and they in turn taught their
children. So knowledge kept
growing all the time.
That was how history started.

n NE of the times in childs life when the mother should exert the V greatest care is the age when the child begins to grow from babyhood into sirlhood or boyhood. To teach them the proper care of their bodies and health is a difficult thing indeed. The importance nj the Saturday night bath cannot be impressed upon them too strongly.
 At the present time there are very few homes that are without bathrooms. When the child is In its mothers arms 1t Is certain of its daily bath. As soon as 1t begins to crawl about inside and outside It comes in contact with germs and dirt of every description. Then is the time for the utmost caution. The mother may be busy wieh a million other details. and so the child is left partly to care for Itself. Somehow the mother feels or Is apt to feel that the child learns to paddle his own canoe. But this is a mistake. He must be taught.
 Children, like tramps, have q natural aversion to soap and water. This is a condition that the mother must deal with firmly and without compassion. There is nothing that so insures the good health of a family as the daily bath. A child may be taught 10 take his daily

morning. If the habit of carelessness re garding his teeth is allowed to take hold of the child it can result in but one thing-nuch suffering and expensive trou- ble for the rest of his life. Once the child understands the necessity of keep ing the teeth clean be may be left to his own resources.
 There Is scarcely 6 mother in the land that does not realize the necessity of guarding and watching the condition of the hair of her little girls. She well knows that a girls hair is her crowning glory. Forever and 6 day 1t seems she is shampooing the hair of her little daugh- ters. But She leaves her sons to take care of their own heads. There Is no reason why the head and scalp of the growing boy should not be washed as carefully and as frequently as that of his little sister. If you want to know whether boys mother Is taking the care of him she should, just notice the pres ence of absence of the ring of dandruff so often seen on the schoolboy's coat
 Teach your children how to sit and to walk correctly. There Is nothing that develops gracefulness in a child as quick ly as a good dancing school. They learn to hold themselves properly and to move and sit with ease and grace.

Fresh, Clear Compilations.

 Just because a room Is cold Is not an assurance that it Is properly ventilated. The coldest air indoors may be foul un- less there is a space for the air to leave the room as well ls to enter it.
 The easiest way to veptilate a room Is 10 have the windows open at both top and bottom. The windows need no; be open wide-unless the sleeper is sufi- ciently vigorous and strong 10 stand a great deal of cold sufficiently wide open to allow free circuit Of air into the room from below and eat cf 1t al the top. Heavy bedclothes that keep one in a per sriration are not healthful, even in the coldeSt of rooms Just sufficient bed clothing to be comfortably warm is all that k necessary.
 4 few simple coiisthenics before going to bed are beneficial 10 any woman. They stretch the muscles relax the nerves and assure a good nights sleep. Though but five minutes be devoted to these simple exercises with the arms and legs they will work wonders in making the circua- tion of the blood free. thus clearing the complexion and making 1t bright and rosy.
 In taking the exercises a warm. light weight gown should be worn. Have the windows properly placed for ventilation and face the incoming current of fresh mir.

The Daily Bath.

~ OR the average woman a bath every
 day is not too much, even though that woman be somewhat delicate and inclined to take cold easily. Neither a very hot, nor very cold bath is advis- able however. The water should be so regulated that 1t is just comfortable to the body The best time to bathe is the afternoon when one may lie down for 1j minutes to half-hour afterward. If this interferes with social or household duties, the next best time is at night just before retiring. The surest way to prevent talk ing cold directly after a bath is to rub with a course. rough towel. not only until the body is perfectly dry. but until the whole body is warm and fairly tingling with the ruhhtnO

 An arbitration that is subject to ap- peal is really no arbitration at all. It is a trial in court under established rules of evidence. New judges set in the case, but otherwise it is a hear ing in court, and errors of law are pos sible in it. The arbitrators need not have taken any evidence They know the case in all it's length and breadth as well now as they ever will know it, and their true course would have con sisted in refusing to call or to hear witnesses.

BADLY WANTED
 NEGRO IS FOUND

Meridian, Miss, June 23.-(Special.)- James Hardy, alias Hardy Brown, a. negro, has been identified as the man who sandbagged two or three prominent citizens at dark spotson residence streets during the past week or ten days. Con ductor Pigford, who was knocked down on Sunday night, June IS, Is absolutely positive that the man under arrest Is the right person, as he had splendid opportunity to get good look at his as- sailant. Conductor Pigford was making his way homeward when he was aocosted by negro who asked him for a match and walked along with him for a few rods when he suddenly drew from beneath his coat a piece of lead pipe and struck the gentleman to his knees. The blow was not sufficiently strong to render Condue- tor Pigford unconscious and the negro bounced on him and tried to choke him when Pigford began to call loudly for help. This frightened the negro who be- fore he could secure the money he want ed. The negro Is now serving term on the city chaingang, having been convicted efor resisting arrest before the officers learned that he was the highwayman so badly wanted. When he finishes his term with the city he will be turned over to the state and will be tried on charge of attempted highway robbery which, If convicted means that he will do time 4n the pen for some time to come.

Crop Conditions in June

The heavy rains in the southeast do not extend to the surplus wheat and corn states, and the estimates of the yield of winter wheat point to a possi- ble outturn of 400, 100000 bushels, and the condition of spring wheat is so favorable that some experts begin to anticipate a crop of 300,000,000 bush els. A total crop of 7OOOOO,OOO bush els of wheat would bes result that would go far toward bringing general business up to a normal condition. Last years wheat total was 664, 100000 bushels, and a crop of 700,000,0O0 bushels would afford a very consid- erable margin for export.
 The present prospects of the entire wheat crop are at any rate so favor able that four values are demoralized. Another week of favorable reports will be apt to force December wheat at least down to a dollar, and probably September wheat also. Buyers are de- clining to buy flour based on prices above one dollar for wheat, except, of course, to meet present and imme- diate necessities.
 It is too early to estimate the out come of either corn or cotton. Some cotton fields in the lowlands are flooded and some are full of grass, but 1t should be remembered that the drenching rains are helping cotton on the hillslopes and also corn on high grounds. There is still room for opti- mism in relation to both crops. June is, however, too early for an estimate of either.
