Notter teased his parents for some
sort of a shooting weapon as a
Christmas gift. His pIeadings were
resisted by his prudent parents every
year until the Christmas just passed,
when his father presented him with

Arnold, who was 5 years old. died
yesterday of tetanus, after several days
of suffering. The first cartridge he
attempted to shoot in his long desired
gift damned in the breech and he
tried to pry it out with a nail.
The cartridge exploded and drove
the nail so deeply in the boys hand
that it had to be drawn out with for
cops. Five days later tetanus devel-

New York Schools Make Rules
For Protecting the Eyes.

Statistics of the board of health
show that more than 33 per cent of
the pupils in the upper grades of
elementary schools suffer from ocu-
lar defects, and that this percent
age increases from grade to grade
through the schools. The conclu-
sion is that such marked increase
in defects of vision is caused by the
amount Of close work required by
the present curriculum, both in the
) schoolroom and at home.
With the view of putting in prac-
tice the essential rules for the pres
erxation of good eyesight, the wo-
men principals suggest that a label
with 1.-The following reminders
printed on it be pasted in all school
books and library books.
Your eyes are are worth more
to you than any book, :.
safety and success in life depend
on the eyes, therefore take care uI
them.
Always hold your head up when
you read.
Hold your book IA inches from
your face.
aNeyer read in a dim or flicker
ing light.
Never read with the Jul shinins
directly on your book.
Don't face the light in reading
but have it come from behind o.
over your left shoulder.
Avoid books or papers printed
indistinctly or in small type.
"Rest your eyes every few mo-
ments by looking away from the
book.
"Bathe your eyes night and morn
ing with pure water"
These suggestions are wortl
keeping in mind by every one. 1t Ii
a fact proved by systematic investi
ton that the great majority of stree,
accidents. resulting in all sorts OF
serious consequences from loss of
limb to loss of life itself, are due to
the defective eyesight of the person
injured.

The South Can Compete With
The World Growing Corn.

We contend that corn, meats,
fruits, legumes, and many other
crops which we might mention, can
be grown by the Southern farmers
cheaper than any other people on
earth can grow them for him, and
that, therefore, he should grow
these crops for his own use and for
sale.
Even under present conditions it
has been demonstrated, time and
again, that the Southern farmer can
produce hogs at 8 to 4 cents a
pound, live weight, and make mon
ey on them. If this be 50, and it is,
then why should he not l%ejoice at
the fact that live hogs are selling at
8 cents a pound, and by growing
hogs as a money crop reap a rich
harvest?
We need diyersifcation because
it is necessary, or at least conducive
20 increasing soil fertility, ana De
cause we can produce many Of these
things cheaper than we can buy
them. We do not need to grow
everything we use, but we do need
to grow those things of which we
use large quantities and which we
can produce cheaper than cities and
which we can produce cheaper than
Their people can produce for us. Of
!hese crops we stand pat on corn,
meats, and fruits.
We can compete with the world
in the growing Of these crops, and
IS long as<we buy them at from two
10 three times the cost at which we
can produce them, we are not using
good farming or business sense

most sensible frock for such wear. Over

sauces cannot be made from poor material,
though these need not be necessarily ex-
pensive. They must however, be suit
able. The American cook often spends
more for material in the compromising of
sauce than the French, German. Ital-
ian or Spanish cook. Some foreign cooks
never attempt to substitute water for
broth or butter, yet they can produce
delicious sauces at half the cost. One
wastes from not knowing how, while the
other can afford richer material because
nothing is wasted or spoiled through
ignorance.
While Americans are cosmopolitan in
their sauces, they have derived the idea
of their finest sauces from the French.
\ point not always understood is that
the French. though past masters in the
art of sauce making, have really but
two original sauces for meat and vegeta-
bles. With these foundation sauces,
they use skill and originality in ringing
