Salary Lists Of the Southern League

The recent meeting of the Southern
league in Atlanta was largely "execu-
tive" and its action as to the vexatious
salary limit has not been fully disclosed.
It il believed to stand at $4,000 and IA
players. Atlanta proposes, however. to
carry but 10 players, and this has aroused
Imposition. AS the Atlanta team con-
fessedly pays three pitchers $3.50 a month,
It has s225o with which OF pay ten other
players, and in this way Atlanta can
pay high salaries to three or four players
ana yet stay within the salary limit.
The other teams seem to think the At
santa team is taking an unfair advantage
Of the other teams by carrying 10 men
while they carry II.
The subject of salaries, or rather Of a
salary limit. is full Of vexation. and the
league meeting at Atlanta may not have
fully determined IT, for Atlanta expressed

FARMING IN PALESTINE

Consul Wallace of Jerusalem writes as
follows of agricultural methods of today
in Palestine; ''The land is rented and
farmed in a primitive way, which Is un-
profitable to landlord and tenant alike.
The lands are rented for one-third OF
the crop produced. After the harvest
the grain is Immediately threshed. The
tithes, or government tax, are first taken,
which are one-tenth of the whole crop,
and then the remainder is divided, the
landlord receiving his one-third share
The farmer has generally pledged a good
portion of the expected crop. virtually
selling it at a greatly reduced price for
the purpose of securing money in advance
for his necessities. If grain Is 81
bushel on an advance to him of 800 he
will agree to deliver to the party who
advances the money 1870 or 40 bushels
of grain after the harvest. Should the
crop fall 1t is carried over to the next
wear, but under a new contract In which
10 per cent is added to the original
amount. The farmer classes have no
realizing sense of the injustice done them
In matters of business. They are thus
kept destitute and poor, and can hardly
provide themselves with the common me-
cess ties of life. The tools and fmple-
ments used by them are little different
from those used by the partriarchs.

our nation. Grant to all lawyers

Good Roads TO the Front

The coming today of the famous apos-
tie of good roads, Charles w. Thatcher,
doubtless will arouse popular interest in
the subject of bringing the roads of Ala
bama up to modern standards. Other
states are spending money on public
roads, and Alabama should keep up with
the procession.
Delegates should be selected to attend
the 1nidwinter meeting of the Alabama
Good Roads association. to be held at
Montgomery March A. Is and 16. sena-
tor Bankhead who is at present watch
ing closely appropriations for Alabama
rivers and harbors. will be present to
explain his effort to get an appropria-
ton by the general government of $780,
900 as a start and beginning toward
the bettering of rural free delivery routes.
No doubt the Montgomery meeting will
outline a plan that the friends of good
roads will be asked to support.
As all federal aid must be supplement
ed by state or local aid, it is important
to ascertain how all candidates for the
legislature stand on this subject. Unless
this be done, the work in this state may
be postponed four years. for legislative
elections in this state are four years
apart. Ascertain, then, how the candi-
dates stand before you go to the polls to
select men to represent you in the legis-
latnre.

Cold PIungs In Winter Is of Cues
tiOnable Value

From the Baltimore Sun
An authority on bathing says that an
application by the hand of cold water on
the body, followed by moderate friction.
is quite sufficient to keep the skin prop
erly cleansed and stimulated. He says
that people over middle age only need
a warm bath at bedtime twice a week.
Here are some more points of advice
which are worth reading and remembers
ing because they are the final word of one
who knows
Plunging into tub of cold water in
winter lie Of questionable value. and can
be done with safety only by the strongest
person.
Warm baths taken during the day
should be followed by the application of
cold water otherwise any person, strong
or weak, is continually made susceptible

effects.
With the exception of a bath taken upon
rising and before dressing, no bath should
be taken just before or after a meal
No one however strong the constitution,
should take a cold bath when hungry or
fatigued.
Warm baths should always be taken by
nervous persons and by anyone as
means of allaying nervous irritation.
A Turkish bath is not essential to the
welfare Of the skin. Salt water bathing
is usually overdone and often followed
by unsatisfactory results
The different nutritive and medicinal
baths are practically worthless, as the
skin has very little. Il any, absorbent
power. The effect is only local and mere
ly contributes to the pleasure of the
bath.
In daily bath soap is unnecessary.
1t should only be applied carefully at
the end of the day to those portions of
the skin that have been exposed to the
atmosphere. This daily use of soap re-
| moves the oily substances and renders
the skin too dry for health.
| The feet should be bathed twice a day
without fail. This is to aid proper loco
motion.
Next to the feet, or rather equal with
them, the INSIDE OF the mouth must De

should be rubbed with soft brush or
cloth with little warm water and good
soap. The upper part of the throat should

| These rules are quite comforting for
those who do not have the opportunity of
frequent and pleasureable baths. and
those who are faddsts on the subject of
4 constant Tubing will not pay attention
| to any rules.
| The interesting part of this bathing
problem is that the health authorities
are going against the constant Tubing

one heard nothing but bathing urged on
every side, and the cold tub was con-
sidered as essential to good health.

USES HIS EARS FOR PURSE
ew York World.

From the New York World.
Edward Morris, a real estate operator
OF Stamford, Conn, recently became tired
Of digging into his pockets every timeshe
wanted a coin, and tried to discover
some more convenient place to. carry his
small change.
Happening to be walking down Fifth
avenue, he saw an Englishman wearing a
monocle. That gave him an idea. Now
Mr.. Morris puts several coins in his ear
in the same manner that the Englishman
puts the monocle in his eye. Whenever
he wants nickel. dime, or quarter, he
ticlzles the lobe of his ear and dislodges
coin.
At first it was rather awkward, but
now Mr.. Morris is used to it. He finds
the new scheme particularly useful in
cold weather.
