The Sybarites were the inhabitants
OF the ancient city Of Sybaris, in
southern Italy, founded 100 Il. G. They
were so greatly addicted to voluptu-
BUSINESS and self indulgence that their
name became a byword among the
peoples of antiquity. The word "syba-
rite" is used at the present day to de-
note person devoted to luxury and
pleasure.

teens wear 1t well in connection with
winter street costume with reVers
collars. 1t makes one shiver with ap-
prehensions of pneumonia to see the
stream of frigid blue necks exposed
to winter gales this season. And even
where the effect of a low neck tailored
costume is attractive from the front
view, often there is nothing to soften
the hard line of the tailored collar
against the bare neck around the sides
and back. The ordinary tailored coat
worn with a collarless blouse is a la
mentally unbecoming thing from ev-
cry point of view except in front
If one fancies the collarless blouse
for winter wear the hard collar line
should be softened by lingerie frin
or lace collar falling over the tailored
collar and coming next to the throat
There are a number of such collars
in all grades Of fineness.
The peasant line and the yelling idea
have strongly Influenced the designers
for the late winter and early spring
blouses. Nine out of ten of the pref
test models shown for spring are of
chiffon, silk, mousselin or marqui-
settle. The idea is not new, but the
treatment is, for the blouses follow the
frock lines, and the best looking of
the yelled models are exceedingly sim
pie in line and have most of their elab-
Grafton, If elaboration there is, applied

yelling either hemstitched or beaded is

Confucius regarded his own life as a
failure. He spoke against ambition.
yet he coveted high office. nothing less
than that OF political adviser to some
great ruler. A man of the highest
lineage In China, he was yet poor and
early supported himself by teaching.
His pupils showed him an extraordi-
nary devotion. The pick Of the young
men in his native state OF Lu sat at
bis feet and it was they who trans
mitted his tremendous influence. But
Confucius saw not his immortal sue
cess, but his temporal failure. Only
for few brief years did circumstances
permit him to exercise his practical
genius for government. He became
first magistrate, then chief criminal
judge In Lu. and, to quote Professor
Legge, ''crime ceased" Confucius.
however, became dissatisfied with the
ruler whom he served, a weak man
who neglected his duty and gave him
self up more and more to dissipation.
so he resigned his post and banished
himself.-London Spectator

have any business eating.
Hard enough to sit for three weeks,
without having to be gnawed all the
time by insect pests. Look at your
sitting hens once in a while and be
sure they are free from enemies of this
kind.
You can make money by getting a
good rooster right now. Mate him with
some of your best hens and set the
eggs. Your basket will get full a lot
faster after those pullets get to laying.
Particularly at this season of the
year. Go not set a hen until it is posi-
tive that she is thoroughly broody. If
she does not have the full fever, she is
apt to desert her charge, often after
sitting a week or two.
As the weather is still cold, not more
than eleven eggs should be given a hen.
When a larger number is allowed, the
eggs are not sufficiently covered,
and those on the outer edge of the
clutch are likely to become chilled. -

Among the feeling producers which
may be classed as "stimulants'' that
are most widely used and therefore
most destructive to human life are
coffee, tea and some form of fountain
drink of which cocoa cola" is the type.
Now these stimulants change our feel
ings because they excite nervous GEN.
tiers and set the heart going at an alb
normal rate. 1t is the exception in
these days of modern ''get up and get"
to find in the United States a man full
grown who is so well satisfied with the
job which God wrought in his own
makeup that he does not offer to doc
tor the returns with at least one of
these drugs. Bear in mind that caf-
feline, which is the stimulating princi-
pie in all the above, is a drug and q
heart and nerve stimulant of great
danger. Anyone wishing to demon
strate the truthfulness Of this state
ment, can easily do so by drinking .

single cup of coffee, tea or coca cola.
If tie demonstrator is not a constant
user of one of these heart dopes, he
will readily feel the effect of the stim-
ulant. If the demonstration is made
before retiring, he will find himself I'M
able to sleep for hours. If he will
count his pulse before taking the slim
ulant and again fifteen or twenty min
utes after drinking, he will have a de-
cided increase in his heart action. In
many demonstrations made on classes
in physiology, it has been found that
rarely there is a single member whose
heart is not set going much more rap
idly by a single cup of coffee, tea or
coca cola. The last demonstration
made in this line was only yesterday
and it showed an average increase of
heart beats per minute for the tea
drinkers of 4 per cent, for the coffee
drinkers, II per cent, and for the coca
cola drinkers, 10 per cent. This shows
a general average increased work done
by the heart, II per cent. In this
demonstration coffee seems to be the
greatest sinner; and the damage
by this stimulant is much greater be-
cause of its extensive use. By taking
10 per cent as a fair estimate of in
creased work done by the heart, this is
equivalent to lifting a o~ne-hundred
pound weight to the top of Washington
Monument in a single day. This, re-
member, is added work placed upon
our heart, work that is abnormal and
Tor which the heart has made nc prepa-
ration. We need not be surprised,
therefore, if the heart should become
discouraged at the continually increased
work piled upon it by these stimulants
and go upon a strike that will put the
whole system out Of commission. The
newspaper report is "Died of Heart
Failure" Too often the truth is thai
the heart was broken down by over
| work from some stimulant where the
owner was wholly unconscious of thu
fact that he was giving the heart ad
ded work to do. The very unnatural

liant makes it thrice dangerous ant

L0Ckf1T LUMBER CO..
One the Largest Yards in North
Mississippi. A Good Place to
Visit.

An enterprise allied to the building
interests of the city and locality, and
one which occupies a very important
position in the trade is the lumber
yard conducted by C. E. Lockett. He
has been engaged in the contracting
and building business in Grenada for
the past seven years and about three
years ago he established this lumber
yard, which is one Of the largest in
northern Mississippi. The stock car
ried embraces a full line of lumber,
sash, doors, lath, shingles, lime, &C.
ment, light hardware, brick, paint,
etc., in fact, this stock is so complete
in all lines that everything can be found
here necessary to build a home and if a
person will compare the prices charged
here with the prices of other lumber
yards throughout the state he will find
that there are few if, any, who sell on
as small margin of profit as does Mr..
Lockett.
He is one of the most experienced
contractors in this part of the state,
having built many of Grenada's most
beautiful homes and the people for
whom he has built houses have many
words to say of the excellent way he
does the work and the honest and fail
business methods that he employees.
They have fonnd that it is money saved
to give him the contract to furnish the
material and build the home from eel
lar to roof.
Both as a business man and citizen
Mr.. Lockett is held in the highest
esteem by all who know him. He is
man who always takes a personal prid'
in helping to promote the material in
terests of his home town and count,
and is always found to be ready ant
willing to aid in every way possible t.
push Grenada to the front.
1t will will interest almost anyone t
visit the Lockett Lumber Company
lumber yards, where they will see on
the largest stocks of lumber in tn
state. The Sentinel, in this edition, i
pleased to make prominent mention o
this deserving enterprise.
Mr.. Lockett has as yard man, Mr..
w. Grantham, who is accommodatin
and accurate in all his dealings. MI
F. T. Gerard is book-keeper for tn
company, He was reared in Grenad
and is regarded as a most competer
and worthy young business man, Fc
a number of years he held an importar
place with the Grenada Trust
Banking Co., which is a splendid atte'
to his worth.

doubly destructive to the heart tissue.
Nature knew what she was doing when
she made a human heart. She has
decreed there shall be just so many
beats per minute in different circum-
stances; so many while we sleep, SO
many while we sit and rest, so many
while we stand, so many while we
walk, run, jump, etc. This number is
definitely fixed for each person. Nature
does her work by individuals, and for
individuals. Stimulants and narcotics,
therefore, have an individual effect.
On one person they produce an imme-
diate deleterious influence. On another
the effect is less violently marked.
While oneI man dies of "heart failure
in apparent good health, many are Ia
ken away by a slight attack of fever
because the heart is overworked and
worn out by stimulant. The real cause,
therefore, of many premature deaths is
''heart failure, while the apparent
cause may be fever, rheumatism, small
pox, etc. Every stimulant is a drug,

2ND=CLASS DRUG STORE.
About DR.. D. 0. SemmeS and Why He
Gave His Drug Store Such a
Unique Name.

1t was about twenty years ago that
DIR. d. O. Semmes established this drug
business in a small way, and on account
of his stock being small and there be-
ing drug establishments carrying much
larger stocks. the business was dubbed
1.-The Second Glass Drug Store" When
a stranger comes to Grenada about the
first question he will ask is, How came
this drug store to be named the Second
Glass Drug Store?" AMI it is without
doubt the most talked of drug estab-
lishment in the state.
Starting as he did with a very small
stock, DR.. Semmes has year by year
added to his line and to-day he has one
of the most complete drug stores in the
state and gets a full share of the trade.
This business is located across the
street from the Sentinel office, or it
might be said that the Sentinel Office is
located across,the street from the Second
Glass Drug Store. however, that makes
no difference just SO you get there. and
the Sentinel wishes to assure the peo-
pie when they trade there that DR..

the Companion has thousands upon

This period was characterized mainly
by an exchange of punts and strenu-
Gus attempts by the Harvard back to
break through the Dartmouth line for
gains. Wendell led the Crimson attack
in this line, but the gains he made
through Dartmouth's centre. although
greater thar In the other periods, were
not. however, sufficient to carry the ball
along to within striking distance of the
Dartmouth goal. and punt after punt
was then exchanged by each OF the
teams in an attempt to gain in this di
rection.
In receiving the ball at Harvard's 40
yard line Dartmouth on two rushes was
able only to gain o yards. At this
point. Hogsett dropped back and tried
a goal from displacement from Har-
Yards 37-yard line. but the sphere
dropped like a lump of lead on the
Crimson l5-yard line. Wendell then be-
gan TO make a few striking gains
through the Dartmouth centre carrying
the ball from Harvard's 15-yard line TO

Wendelrs gains. however. were not
sufficient TO sweep the Dartmouth line
