REPORT OF GRAND JURY, JANUARY
TERM, 1910.
To the Honorable J.. M. Cashin, Judge
of the Fourth Judicial District of
Mississippi:
We, the Grand Jury Of Leflore county,
.empanellcd for the January term of the
Circuit Court of said county, beg leave
to make this our final report:
We have been in session ter days,
during which time we have examined
a great number of witnesses from all
parts OF the county, to-wit: 1874, and
returned AZ indictments.
We have examined the Jail and found
same in excellent. sanitary condition.
We find no complaint from prisoners for
food served which is ample and whole
some. The prisoners are required to
battle and keep themselves in a clearly
condition, and their cells are kept clean
and we'll ventilated. We find that the
cells are badly crowded and insufficient
in size to care for the prisoners of Le-
lore county. Ne refer your honor to
the report made by the Grand Jury in
January, 1909, of which Mr.. W. G. Poin-
dexter was foreman, aud join heartily
in the recommendation made by that
grand jury a year ago, wherein the
suggests that the Jail be enlarged

The Express, OF London, claims.
that another word must be added to
the dictionary of gardening. This is
s''.calorieulture", the name of an en-
tirely new system of horticulture,
which has recently been inaugurated,
and bids fair not only to replace the
form of intensive culture of the
French school, but to revolutionize
the present system Of fruit and veg
etable forcing. While it is nearly GUS
tomary to look for extreme and IA
vorable developments in the line of
soil cultivation, through French
means, says the. Scientific American,
to us in the United States, who have
not the garden habit quite so strong
" as obtains in France, it comes as a
surprise that the inventor of the new
method is a Briton, Dr. F. Alexan-
der Barton, Fellow of the Royal 60
ciety.

The first sleep is the soundest-
after the first hour the intensity OF
sleep slowly diminishes-hence the
value of forty winks after dinner in
quickly recuperating shattered pow
ers, contends the London Express.
Temperature and vitality are lowest
at about 2 a. M, so that two hours
sleep before midnight are worth four
thereafter. Nature has no rule as to
the length of sleep, except that men
need less than women, since women
are the more sensitive creatures, and
a woman's heart beats five times
more in minute than a mans. Sleep
should be just so long that when you
wake in the morning stretch and
yawn only are necessary to land
you in daytime of bounding vigor.
AS, to ;early rising, 1T is comforting
to hear Dr. Bryce say it is q habit
that has. gone far to wreck the con-
stitutions Of many growing youth.

Thinks the Pittsburg Gazette
Times: There is nothing that relieves
the sordid and monotonous aspect of
city life like a sprinkIing of green
along the streets. 1t is not only the
shade, though many lives would
doubtless be saved by this during the
heated term, but it is the aesthetic
pleasure the trees give, the calm of
spirit to which they conduce, that
will prove an incalculable benefit to
the city dweller. The best that man
has is drawn from the trees of the
forest. and We cannot get FAR from
the trees. without deterioration of cur
civilization. Even our word "Bible,"
as some one has pointed out, is from
the Greek for bark of tree.

The physicians Of the state will be
called upon to comply with the act
passed at the last session of the leg
4ature. to prevent the spread Of tV-
bercu1osis or other infectious pull
monary diseases. The act isFrather
a stringent one, but it is believed
by those who have read it that IL it's
provisions are carried out by the
medical men of the state much will
be done toward preventing the
spread of these diseases in Missis-
sisippi.
The law provides that it shall be
the duty of all practicing physicians
in the state to report to the secre-
tary of the state board of health any
and all cases of tuberculosis, con-
sumption or other pulmonary dis
eases which they may be called up
on to examine or treat. The report
must be made within ten days after
securing knowledge Of such cases,
and the secretary OF the state board
Of health, on receipt of such report,
shall send the patient printed infor-
nation on the proper care and treat
ment of the disease, how to prevent
It's spread and such other informa-
tion as may be prescribed by the
board. Af
If any physician fails to report as
required by the law, he IS subject to
fine of not less than $40 nor more
than $50. ,t
