Bath Col, Roosevelt and Mrs. Roose-
Welt were smiling when they de-
scended from the carriage at the no.
tel entrance. They said they had
enjoyed the trip and were sorry only
that non-observance Vt their incog-
nito by the people had compelled
them to cut it short. Col. Roosevelt
said that he had bully time on
Thursday, when he and Mrs. Roose-
welt drove along the sunny slopes CT
the Ligurian Alps from Spezia to
Rapallo.
Half an hour after the arrival of
Col. Roosevelt the project and the

his wife dined quietly at their hotel.
Tomorrow the Roosevelts will con-
tinue their journey by train to Porto
Mavrizio, where they will visit Miss
Carew, Mrs. Roosevelt's sister, who
has a villa there. The inhabitants
Of Porto Mavrizo have planned elab-
crate festivities in honor of the for
mer president, but the chief interest
in his three days stay at the Carew
villa, will be the visit there on Mon
day of Clifford Pinchot, former chief
forester of the United SHhes depart

Col. Roosevelt has announced in ad-
vance that he will have nothing 10
say after the interview.
He continues silent in political af-
fairs. Without bias he is ready to
listen to friend or foe.
Accordingly Col. Roosevelt willing

for an interview, and during 1t Mr..
Pinchot expected to explain in detail
his side Of the series Of events that
led up to his dismissal by President

A Lost Tin Mine and 4 Lead Mines
Bottomless Pit.
Immense plans which seemed about

to disastrous failure at the last mo-

tory Of industry.
London Answers tells the story Of
tin mine in England which might have
yielded fortune but for storm.
With the finding Of new vein Of
ore running out toward the sea a new
level WAS driven out below the water;
then it was found that the lode bent
upward too near the sea bottom for
mining to be- safely carried on. Undis-
couraged. the owner borrowed money.

erected pumps and again went to
work.
On the sixth day. Just as an enor-
nous mass of rich ore was being tap
ped. a gale came up. ship was blown
upon the wall. which went to pieces
at once. and the sen drove the heavy
stones in upon the thin roof of the
mine. In moment the workings were
hopelessly flooded and the owner was
q ruined man.
A story equally tragic is told OF the
Speedwel lead mine III Derbyshire.
Believing that q rich vein of ore exist
ed in nearby hill. the owner risked
his entire capital to bore tunnel
5000 feet long into the heart OF the
mountain. Suddenly the miners broke
through a wall of rock into vast hid
den cavern. through which flowed
stream Of water.
They began to dump rock into the
stream. and after 10000 tons bridge
began to rise out of the darkness. and
then their farther progress was STOP
ped. Month after month they toiled.
and at last. after 10000 tons in all had
been cast into tie cavern. they gave it
up.
That narrow rift is known to this
day as the Bottomless Pit
The Truce Of God.
The truce Of God" was introduced
by the clergy of Guienne around about
the year 1880. 1t was adopted in Spain
about 1850, in England about 1880.
According to this famous treaty, a
cessation of all violent Quarrels was
enjoined under heavy penalties during
all church festivals and from every
Wednesday evening until the follow

natural grasses, reed bottoms, acorns,

with the present prices
(which are likely to remain) in view.
The call is to the husbandman.
There is, of course, another side to
the high price picture so far as the
farmer is concerned, and that is this:
The charge is made that high prices are
due to decreased production. The
decreased production, it is safe to say,
is the outgrowth of the low prices Of
former years. Smarting under the re-
straint of combines that plucked them
at all times, the farmers appear 10
have done what other business men
would have done-cut down their pro-
duction of articles for which they
received no satisfactory remuneration
It is no more the business of the far
mer to raise food supplies at a loss,
or without any profit, than it is for
miners to turn out coal at a loss, or
manufacturers to give the output Of
their establishments without some
financial benefit to themselves.
Under the protective system in
vogue in this country the farmers
have had to pay enormously high prices
for all of their machinery, for their
clothing and everything not produced
on their farms. The meat trusts, the
cotton gamblers, and the various 9TH
er disturbing agencies of modern life,
forced them too frequently to accept
Improbable prices for their own pro-
ducts. The country is suffering as a
result and appeals to the farmers to
pull it out of the hole into which I
has put itself by unfair laws and the
liberation of piratical business com
binations. That is the truth of the
matter.

HOW TO KEEP OFF A COLD.

Just at this season Of the year,
when colds and grippy illnesses are
rampant, when the man with a sniffle,
and the women with watery eyes, greet
one on all sides, extra precautions are
necessary if one would avoid the dis
comforts that flow from an attack
of this character. Minor though 4
cold may seem among the ills of the
flesh it is one of the most annoy
ing of it's manifold trials, and some
times serious results flow from its
neglect. In the case Of colds, as with
any other things, the ounce of proven
ton is far better than the entire
apothecary shop and the large physic-
ian's bill that some times accompanies
the drugs. 1t is a wise person who
heads it off in time
Colds can be avoided. At least that
is what the authorities say, and the
process Of avoiding is not accompa-
MED by any severe strains on ones
time or patience. All that is neces-
sary is to observe ordinary rules of
health that should be in force with
every wel1-regulated person day after
day. Here is the way an expert tells
US how to pass through the year with
out suffering from such complaints
Catching cold is not entirely de-
pendent upon atmospheric changes.
In cold, dry air, taking much exercise,
one will contract cold less easily than
in warmer moist air, taking little ex-
ercise. The condition of the blood is
the essential factor. When the blood
is overloaded with poisonous waste,
due to Overeating, especially of rich
foods, and little exercise is taken,
there will be a tendency to cold
Hence, constipation is the most eff
Gent prime cause of cold, because
that tends to maintain a condition
favorable to its development. Lack
of bathing, by closing the pores which
eliminate waste, and constant cod
ding" which destroys the capacity
for ready adjustment to changes of
(favoring congestion, the
essential symptom in cold) is favor
able to cold taking. Avoid overeat-
ing; exercise freely in the open air;
battle regularly, including tepid or
cold water, daily, but avoiding ex-
tremes; avoid constipation, worry and
exhaustion and undue exposure to
chills and damps, but get all the fresh
air and exercise possible. Stop eat
ing for "a hours, drink plenty of cold
water, exercise freely in the open
air, take a vapor bath and a morning
friction bath-there are the natural
remedies.

THE SHANDLE" AS A POLITICAL
FACTOR.

Would Algernon, or Reginald, or
Percival, stand a ghost of a chance
of being a successful politician in
Georgia? Would man doomed to
go through life with such feminine
appellation stand in well with the wool
hat boys? Would he not be subject
to ridicule from his opponents, ridi-
cule that would cut deep and be most
effective, ridicule that would speedi-
Iy put him out of the running Would

Fauntleroy, a big boy with long curls,
delicately scented from mamam's sa-
Chef bag, and a strict injunction not
to get himself dirty when he went out
for his walk with the French nurse
and the pampered poodle? u
Well, we really guess not. The man
with such a name as that would find
it difficult to warm the popuIace up to
him. He would stand a mighty poor
chance against plain Bill, or Jack, or
Tom, or Dick. They would go around

our congressman bear any such names.
And it might have added the likeH-
hood is that none of them ever will.
But here is what the Dublin paper has
to say along this line:
That such names as Thomas, Will

pie, is known by the names of those
who represent Georgia in the lower
house Of congress.

friends; the congressman from the
Eighth and Eleventh districts have
William for their first name, and to
their friends and constituents they are

from the Ninth district is called Tom
and does not resent it. The Fourth
district congressman combines that OF
William and Charles, and the Tenth
district congressman combines that OF
Thomas and William
