GOOD TIMES JUST AHEAD.

The opening of the business
year finds Mississippi, and espe
cially Lee county, with a pros
pect much more favorable than
were conditions q year ago.
While the seasons and weather
have not, at all times. been prop
itious, yet. the year SO far has
been a much better one than was
1909.
A great demand for food sup
plies have existed throughout
the year and a great part of the
present crop will be required to
liquidate this indebtn IS. The
prospect now is that the county
will make Is per cent more cot
ton than it made last year.
With prevailing prices this will
add an additional $500, 000.0 90 of
revenue from this source.
A coed corn crop has already
been made and we feel safe in
predicting that five bushels will
be harvested where one was last
year. The pea crop and potato
crop are both excellent and there
are many hogs that will b e
slaughtered at the proper sea-
son.
Nineteen hundred and eleven
will find us enjoying a greater
prosperity than for several
years.

Business Notice.

The Journal finds it necessary
to call the attention of our delin-
qlent subscribers to the necessl-
ty of settling what is due us
without further delay. We have
c .rried a heavy subscription list
through the summer and it has
required a monthly outlay OF
cash to do this. We find oursel-
YES now badly in need of what
is due us and we hope our
friends will appreciate the de-
mands upon us and come for
ward and settle. These amounts
are small, but in the aggregate.
they amount to a considerable
sum and would very much re-
lieve our embarrassment if COL
lec.ed promptly.
Besides this, the postofice de
partment requires that the sub
scriptions shall be collected an.
nually and it would relieve US OF
any complication with the de-
partment if we could get our
subscription list more on a cash
basis.

to save as much as a man with
poO a week. But it is easy for
The $40 man to rave the same
percentage Of his salary as the
$50 a week man.
The hitch in these matter
comes in getting started. Each
day we say to ourselves, to-
morrow" or next week" or
next month";" | will start a
bank account, and thus the time
goes by. and each day we grow
older and each day it becomes
harder and harder to change
from the habit Of spending to
the habit of saving.
Yet, it is a very easy habit to
acquire. and | don't know of any
habit so difficult to give up as
the saving habit. There is a
positive fascination in watching
the figures grow in our bank
book; each additional figure spells
comfort. for old age; the welfare
Of those dear to us; the means
to assist those less fortunate;
the necessary requisite to graft
fly cur desire to travel, to study,
or to build an immense business
that will be handed down to
commemorate our name for many
generations.
We cannot all be Rockefellers,
but we can all be good citizens
a credit to the community in
which we live, and the founders
of homes of our own. This can
be accomplished by starting now
TO save money.
Remember, YOU do not need
to be stingy or greedy in order
to save-stinginess and greed
are at one extreme, while
profigacy and carelessness are
at the other-the happy medium
of thrift lies half way between IN.
Prudence in expenditure is
evidence of sanity, or right living
and right thinking. These
articles have been written with
the end in view that our readers
become more prudent in spend.
ing, more careful in saving and
better citizens. Bertha A. Rich,

There are many men and
women who are omniverous
readers; they read every book
they can buy or borrow; they
read the magazines, but should
they be asked a month, or even
a week later what they had read
they could not tell you.
I hope that none of this class
of people have been reading the
articles that have appeared from
day to day in our savings col

read, but do not heed. They

and under no consideration have the
patient brought into warm room OF
stand close to a fire. If the reaction
becomes too great and the part is
greatly swollen, red and hot to the
touch, it should be wrapped in cloths
wet with some rapidly evaporating so
luton as sugar of lead water and
laudanum, or equal parts of alcohol
and water. and held in an elevated no
sOtion so as to lessen the amount OF
blood to the part.
General Effect of Cold.
The systemic or general effect OF
cold upon the body follows a very sim.
liar course to its effect upon a single
part. There is first pain and uneasi-
ness, then drowsiness and numbness.
and finally Inconsistencies which
continues until death if the condition
is permitted TO progress.
Treatment of the effect of cold upon
the whole body should follow the same
general principles as when only a
small part is affected The tempera-
ture of the body must be raised very
slowly and the circulation restored
cautiously. AS the reaction progresses
stimulants, as black coffee or aromatic
spirits of ammonia, etc, may be given
in small quantities, but not repeated
very often. Later, small quantities of
liquid food. as broths and hot milk,
may be given. Be sure to remember
to keep the patient out of a warm
room and away from any stove or fire
lished.

loose pieces of cotton or tinsel. as ii
often done at Christmas and other en-
tertainments. and go near burning
candles or unprotected flames OF AM
kind.
Home Remedies.
In slight burns the pain may be-
Iessened considerably by applying q
cloth wet in a saturated solution Of
ordinary baking soda. OIL of any
kind. as linseed oil. may be used in q
similar manner to protect the parts
from the air. Any simple ointment
may be used. as petroleum (vaseline)
cold cream. boric ointment, etc
Weak solutions of carbolic acid
tphenoD, one part of carbolic to fifty
parts of water, Ur pherol sodique, one
part to eight parts of water. or a sat
urated solution of boric acid are good
not only to relieve the pain. but are
also antiseptic. and so tend to lesser
the infection usually present.
If any blisters have formed, they
should not be broken, but the liquic
in them should be let out by punctur
ing them near the junction of the
raised portion with the level skin By
large needle or other sharp instru
ment that has first been heate1 foi
a moment in a fame and then allowed
to cool.
In extensive burns avoid applying
any strong antiseptic, as bichloride OF
mercury corrosive sublimate) or car
bolic acid (phenoD, as the amount alb
sorbed may be enough TO cause pois
oning.
Importance Of Cleanliness.
In applying any dressing do not use
dirty rags or cotton waste as they are
liable to carry germs that may infec'
the injured part, and infection is one
of the conditions that we must try tc
avoid. When possible use clean
cloths that nave been washed ane
ironed, clean cotton. or best of all
sterile dressings which can usually
be procured at any drug store. The
systemic effect of burns is to cause
a nervous shock and If at all severe,
the patient must be Immediately Civ
en- stimulants. Sometimes artificial
respiration is necessary. the method
of which win be given when the treat
ment for drowning is considered.
Avoid exposing the patient TO cold
while removing any of his clothes OF
applying dressings. Keep the body
warm by covering 1t with warmed
blankets or covers of any kind. Place
around him hot water bottles, any bot
tie or fruit jar filled with hot water,
or heated bricks, will do. Place these
close to the body under the covers,
but avoid having them come in too
close contact with the body. as often
severe burns have been caused by too
close application of artificial heat by
these means.
