blank expression of a magician whose

'In a tent, in a tent, of. course!
There wasn't any bathroom! And the
porch chairs! Oh, girls, it makes me
weep to think of my beautiful porch
chairs sitting out in the middle of
the dusty road, being run over every
minute by automobiles! They'd have
to sit there, you see, for there wasn't
any porch! And the front door opened
right on to the road. And as for table
linen! What would be the use of
table linen If you had to eat canned
food all the time? You could just
make a picnic of 1t and have it out
in the woods, or anywhere, for all
they had was a coal stove to cook on,
and I'd rather go without eating than
to have to make fires and things every
night when I get home. And the pre-
p%aratory school? Oh, girls, oh, girls!
I hope none of you have really set

preparatory school is for boys under

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead .
 Drugs.

It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of med ieines.
 There are some truly scientific phy- sicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated re- gardless of the value to their pockets. Here's an instance:
 -Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach. so that I was on the verge of starvation.
 ''I heard of a doctor who had a summer cottage near me-a specialist from N. T.. and as last hope, sent for him.
 After he examined me carefully he advised me to try small quantity of Grape-Nuts at first. then as my stomach became stronger to eat more.
 T kept at it and gradually got so could eat and digest three teaspoon fuls. Then I began to have color in my face, memory became clear. where before everything seemed a blank. My limbs got stronger and l could walk So I steadily recovered.
 Now after 8 year on Grape-Nuts I weigh 153 lbs. My people were sur prised at the way grew ieshy and strong on this food"

Lassiter, at Steep Creek. in Lowndes County, was shot and instantly killed by Police man Sheriey early Monday morning as he was driving towards Montgomery with several sacks of cotton in his buggy. The bullet penetrated the brain.
 According to sherley. the negro Cobb passed down Day Street towards the center of the city about 4:30 o'clock Monday morning and met Mounted Police oficers Sheriey and Searcy. who were in the act of put ting e prisoner in the patrol wagon that stood near. Cobb was driving a buggy in which were several sacks of cotton. The earIiness of the hour aroused the suspicious of the police- men who called to the negro to halt. He slowed up instead and refused to answer questions put to him by the police. z4ss ss
 when ordered to consider himself under arrest. he whipped up his horse, 1t Is said, and at the same { time reached towards the foot of his bug- gy, when Policeman Sheriey. choosing to shoot instead of pursuing. fired twice. The negro fell from the buggy less than 100 yards from where the policemen stood and was dead when reached. 5.
 Mir. Lassiter said. when questioned concerning the negro. that he was efn- ployed on his farm in Lowndes Coun- ty He said he had been missing cot ton from his plantation for several weeks and suspected Cobb of the thefts, but could not catch him.
 It is thought that the cotton in the negro's buggy at the time he was Kill ed came from the Iassiter place.
