TIE Sunny South brotherhood
BY DADDY jim

change You all know the sweet story of Jesus
and His wonderful love, and that He promised
home which is fairer than day, where no
sickness or death can enter; but in the mean
time the shut-ns must live until the summons
calls them up yonder, which fact tells us within
itself that however sweet and gratifying are
words of sympathy a goood square meal is in
fnitely sweeter. Thank heaven, new era of
thought and action is dawning, through the eff
forts of Tom Watson, Charles Douglas and other
untiring workers for humanity and the right.
The good Christian people, inspired by the love
spirit, given unto the world by the Christ child,
are beginning to relinquish their hobbyisms,
fanaticisms and the like, and do the real work
of Christians in acts of brotherly love, taught
by Him. In days gone by, at times 1 have felt
entirely friendless, and in my bitterness of heart
I did not which way the wind blew; but it
is different now, made SO by friends, and the
mere knowledge of their friendship is blessing
indeed that [ value very highly, and to merit
which is one of my ambitions. Dear souls,
have friends in abundance Let this thought COM
fort and cheer you during the holidays, and
goodbye and may God bless you.-JOHN H.

Fiction, and hope in the second birth of Christ
today feel inspired to write you a letter, though
I fear it will be uninteresting one. The year,
with joys and sorrows, is almost gone, and
here's wishing each of you a most happy New
Year. When | pause to reflect upon your I'M
fortunate condition, my heart is sad indeed; but,
friends, let us take heart and be thankful that
our condition is worse than it is. For in
stance, my condition is very bad, being
crippled from rheumatism for about twenty
years. with no hope of being able to walk
enjoy any of the active pleasures of life. How
ever, feel we'll; be up all the time, reading,
writing and making the best 1 of time; while
IN days gone by | was in bed, suffering tortures
no pen can describe. Consequently, bad as my
condition seems it is so much better than
formerly that I am profoundly thankful for the

Dear Daddy jim: AS many of your readers
doubtless never heard of me, l will say that |
40 years DID, and have spent "a years in bed,
lying motioness a marble statue; haven't as
time. Am ossifed from head to heels; cannot
raise my head from the pillow, and my jaws are
locked tight. One finger and thumb and one eye
are all that remain to me, save slight movement
of my shoulders which enables to write
letter. My mother my nurse for Is long
years She all I had to depend upon for
support, and when she died nearly nine years
ago, and left me destitute and alone, it up
to to do of three things-go to the poor
house, depend poor relatives, my
living. I chose the latter, remembering that God
always helps those who try to help themselves.
What could I do? Just thing. 1 could write
a little. So laboriously and painfully I went to
work writing books. l won't tell you how man
aged it; haven't the space. Order the books read
er; they will tell you all about it. Here the
titles and prices: "Twenty-four years in a Mat
tress Grave, so cents; STORY OF my Lie and
Experience with Quack Doctors which has caused
Invalid" 80 cents; "Plain Talk and Tales" 40
cents, and Cheerful Chats, so cents All these
books contain my picture save the 80 cent one.
| am obliged to earn support for myself and
nurse, SO l trust you will help me with order
Daddy Jim knows am all right, or he would not
publish this. I from the ''Show-me state,
and have certainly been shown what the rheuma-
tsm do for I believe in looking the
sunny side of life however Neither God nor the
world has any patience with a wilmer. There is
one badly off but he has something to be
thankful for. I get awfully lonely and discourage
ed lying here but I know it could be worse.
SO I refrain from growing and whining and
thank God for my blessings.-TOM LOCKHART

PeLlagra is Caused
By Cotton Seed Oil

DR.. George C. Mizelle, Of Atlanta. in
a late number Of the Journal Record OF
Medicine, says: The development and
progress Of pellagra in the United
States has kept pace with the use Of
cotton seed oil. Avoid oil Of maize, oil
OF sesame and oil of cotton seed. Pei
lagra is disease due to eating semi
drying oils In quantities that cannot be
normally disposed Of, in which case
they are deposited as fat foreign TO the
human organism and In their final dis
position by oxidation there is developed
a series Of end products that act 10 a
deleterious manner upon all the cells
and intercellular tissues Of the body.
The doctor further says: ] wish to
advise against the use of fats and oils
Of every kind except castor oil. Olive
oil, which in this day and time is SYM
onymous with cotton seed oil. is to be
prohibited. Calcium sulphate seems to
be the cure for pellagra. This warn
ing is worth needing, as the malady Is
spreading at an alarming rate.

No More Green Fruit
TO Go on Market

Dealers in oranges which have been
taken from the trees when green and
made yellow by being placed in arti6-
cial heat are to be dealt with the same
as dealers in artificial foodstuffs by he
Federal government, according to the
notices forwarded to all State Food and
Drug Commissioners from the U, S.
Department of Agriculture. The Fed
eral authorities have been studying the
average souI orange of the common
market and have found that it usually
comes from orchards where fruit Is
treated to the artificial process. This
results in skin Of the proper color
but the fruit is not properly ripened,
the acid of the green fruit remaining
unchanged. If left on the trees to
ripen properly the acids would give way
to sugars,
The Federal authorities have found
the acids to be injurious to the health
Of the consumers, particularly children
and have ruled that the artificial ripe
ming constitutes adulteration. Accord
ing to the practices of the boards o
health the ruling of the Federal au
thorities will be made rule OF the va
rious states.
