SOME HEALTH PROVERBS

In a few simple, one-sentence SER
mons, as true as gospel. the State
Health Department gives the citizens
of Virginia some direct information
on the preservation of health and hap
piness.
Here are some of the health pro-
verbs, which should be pasted in the
hat:
''The man who says he would ra-
Their have smallpox than be vaccinat-
ed never had the smallpox
can open window is better than an
open grave"
Warm rooms have killed more peo-
pie than ever froze to death"
"a good iron pump costs less than
a case of typhoid"
eff your milkman brings you warm
milk, make it hot for him.
"Wire screens in the windows may
keep Grape from the door,"
"a fly in the milk often means a
member Of the family in the grave"
"If some people were as much
afraid of flies as they are of bad wa
ter there would be less typhoid"
"Scarlatina many not sound SO dam
gerous as scarlet fever, but ask the
undertaken"

FARM PRODUCTS IN EXPORT
TRADE OF THE U. s.

American farmers contributed over
a billion dollars worth of merchan-
disc, or more than one-half of the do
mostic products exported from the
United States in the fiscal year just
ended Of the high-record expectation
of $2,013,549,025 worth of domestic
merchandise in the fiscal year, 1,024
million dollars represented the value
of products drawn directly or indi-
rectly from the farm.
OF the 10 chief agricultural pro-
ducts exported, cotton leads with a
total of 585 million dollars, the next
largest items being, in the order
named, meat and dairy products, $50
million; breadstuffs, 124 million; un-
manufactured tobacco. 80 million;
cotton seed oil, II million; vegetables
5 IL million; and hides and skins,
million dollars, these 10 articles
alone showing a total expectation for
the year of $50 million dollars. The
remaining agricultural products ex-
ported in sums ranging from 1 mil
lion to 5 million dollars include Porto
Rican coffee, million dollars; grease
{, million; glucose, IL million;
seeds, 2 IL million; hops, over 2 mil
lion; ginseng and other medicinal
roots, 1 ga million; eggs. / 3-4 mil
lion; corn oil, 1 IL million; hay, 1
million; and hair, a little over mil
lion dollars.
This expectation of 1924 million
dollars worth of farm products, while
somewhat larger than in the proceed
ing year, is still below the record
made in 1907, when 1,05O million dol
lars worth of merchandise Of that
class left the country Comparing
the 1911 exports with those of 1907,
cotton increased from 4S1 million dol
lars in 1907 to $50 million in the year
just ended. This increase, however,
is solely due to higher prices prevail.

Birthdays in a Big Country

In round numbers 250, ,0O0 people in this country observe every day as the anniversary of their birth. Some celebrate quietly, some gorgeously, some with memories that are almost pathetic. Not a single day goes by without a quarter of million of cele- brations.
 Perhaps one-half of this daily num- Der consists of joyous occasions. The young are full of hope, and this is to some extent true until declining years begin to come-until people are thrown into an unfortunate rut from which they cannot extricate them selves.
 In this world of opportunities one half of the people should be able to consider themselves as people favor ed by fortune, while the other half knows it is not so favored. This is almost necessarily the grand average. One-half are lucky dogs, while the other half are the under dogs of this world All, however, have birthday anniversaries, and the general joy on such occasions is lessened by the ill fortunate of one-half of the people. All things are relative in this world What is a fortune in one place is not . fortune in another, but every man Knows whether he belongs to the sue cessful or the unsuccessful half of this world

Albert Pike's Poems

"I read with rare pleasure the two poems by Albert Pike reproduced in The Age-Herald recently-'Annie,' in the issue of Saturday. September 3. and Autumn, in last Saturdays issue and I agree with Sundays editorial suggestion that a new volume of Pilke's poems be published" said profess sional man.
 Many years ago I read Annie in one of the northern papers, but I had never seen this fine poem on Autumn until it appeared in The Age Herald. Autumn has inspired several well known poets, but in my opinion Pike's poem surpasses all the others. There are several lines that Milton would have been proud to have written One of them is where Pike writes of the patient cloud that waits.~
 ITO veil the tender bushes of the
 virgin moon.'
 "These lines are singularly, beauti- ful:
 /" Even as the hoar frosts of the Au-
 tumn kiss
 The green life from the unoffending leaves.
 "The last stanza struck me as being fully up to Milton. Pike writes of death as a dim shape standing on life's western verge
 "Casting his shadow on the startled
 sun
 And at Eternity's grave surge !" Time, pale with frantic terror, hur-
 ries headlong past"

SAVAGE MOUNTAIN ANTS

From My First Summer in the Sierras.
 by John Muir.
 Mastodons and elephants used to live here no great geological time ago, as shown by their bones, often discovered by miners in washing gold gravel. And Lears of at least two species, besides the California lion or panther. and wild cats, wolves, foves, snakes, scorpions, wasps, tarantulas; but one is almost tempted at times to regard small. sav- age blac, ant as the master existence of this vast mountain world.
 These fearless, restless, wandering imps, though only about quarter of an inch long, are fonder of fighting and biting than any beast I know. They attack every living thing about their homes, often without cause as far as l can see Their bodies are mostly jaws curved like ice hooks and to get work for these weapons seems to be their chief aim and pleasure.
 Most of their colonies are established in living oaks somewhat decayed or hol- lowed, in which they can conveniently build their cells. These are chosen D opposed to the attacks of animals and storms They work both day and night, creep into dark caves. climb the highest trees wander and hunt through cool rsvines as well as hot, unshaded ridges, and extend their highways and byways over everything but water and sky From the foothills to a mile above the level of the sea nothing can stir without their knowledge; and alarms are spread in an incredibly short time, without any howl or cry that we can hear.
 I can't understand the need of their for ocious courage; there seems to be no common sense In it. Sometimes, no doubt, they fight in defense of their homes. but they fight anywhere and always wherever they can find anything to bite As soon as a vulnerable spot is discovered on man or beast, they stand on their heads and sink their jaws, and though torn limb from limb, they will yet hold on and die biting deeper. When l contemplate this fierce crea- ture, so widely distributed and strongly intrenched, see that much remains to be done ere the world is brought under the rule of universal peace and love.

M'KINLEY DEAD TEN YEARS

convention of 1892, receiving forty-two ot Pennsylvanias sixty-four votes Finally, he was nominated in 1896, because the plan had been diligently and ably laid and carried out by his friends and elected.
 After two years came the blowing up of the Maine and the Spanish war. It was time of controversies, of many sided views of criticism and praise, but the effect of it all was such that when President Mckinley again ran for office in 1900 he was successful. He had fair ly entered upon that second term when he was shot.
 Following the shooting of the Presi. dent and his death, there began na- ton wide campaign for fund for a memorial to the assassinated man. Col lections were taken in every state, even school children gave pennies and niclels and dimes The result was the raising Of fund of # million dollars which vas expended in the building of a me morial tomb at Canton, O., in which the bodies of the assassinated President, and Mrs. Mckinley, who died in 1907, now rest

arty Harmony

Democratic defeats in national cleo
 tions have usually been traceable to lack of party harmony. In 1896
 many "gold democrats bolted, and
 ever since Mir. Bryan's first candid
 acy there has been an absence of that
 democratic harmony which character
 ized the party under Mr. Tilden's
 leadership. G8 Ass8
 Now, for the first time in many years, the democratic party is practi- cally solid. Not only are southern democrats full of enthusiasm as they look forward to 1912, but New York and Indiana, important pivotal states, are both in excellent party shape, while New Jersey, and that long time rockribbed republican state of Maine, to say nothing of other northern states, will be placed in the "proba- bly, democratic" column in 1912. In every section of this country men are remarking the harmony prevailing in the old democratic party. Democrats are conscious of this harmony, and it is this feeling that inspires them with hope of victory in the fall of 1912.
 Whence comes this harmony? Sew eral things have concurred to pro- duce it, but if one cause were as- signed there would be general agree ment that Oscar w. Underwood's able leadership in the House of Rep- resentatives brought it about. MT. Underwood unquestionably deserves more credit for this democratic har- mony than any one man. His hand ling of the tariff question has been masterful, and his quiet but tactful methods used in parliamentary or ganization have made him easily the peer of the great floor leaders of the past. Naturally gentle and prince in courtesy, MT. Underwood is ready for scrap" when scraps are in or der, as shown in his vigorous re- marks when resenting Mr. Bryan's unjust criticism of his leadership. Underwood is par excellence a har- monizer, and the public in general is disposed to give him full credit.
 A discordant note from MT. Bryan will probably be heard now and then. The Nebraskan, with all his good qualities, is given to harsh criticism of those who do not agree with him in politics, but no matter what Mir. Bryans attitude may be in 1912, democratic harmony will, it is be- lieved, manifest itself in the national and it is reasonably sure that it will continue to the day of the election.

TOLD BY JOHN ALLEN

From scrap4 sNssSifssS sffsFs B
 Private" John Allen of Tupelo, Miss, tells this one on himself: Court had been in session in Tupelo, and there were a lot of visiting lawyers. They were congenial souls, and naturally a l!ttle game of poker started down at the hotel. I stayed out for several highs, but finally the breakfast table arguments got so pointed that I had to promise to be in that evening by II o'clock. When il o'clock came I cleaned up. and could not leave a winner-that would have been snide-so I stayed to give the boys a chance to get their money back Also there was plenty of the sort of drinkables prohibited by law in Mississippi Finally the game broke up. and l looked at the clock; 1t was 2;30! I started for home. making the best time I could. slipped off my shoes at the front steps, pulled off my clothes in the hall. slipped into the bedroom, and began to slip into bed with ease of experience Mrs Allen has a blamed flee dog that on cold nights insists on jumping in the bed with us. So when I began to slide under the covers she stirred in her sleep and pushed me on the head. Get down. Fido get downp she said. And, gentlemen, I just did have presence of mind enough to lick her hand. and she dozed off again."

Demand for Good Roads

In some of the southern states much progress in the construction of good roads has been made within the past two years, but the south, as whole, has not yet fully walked up to the economic value of first class highways.
 Today, more than ever, the south is attracting the attention of capitalists and of homeseekers. This section is being we'll exploited by the railroads, and influential newspapers in the great future of the south. One of the popular weeklies, in issuing a special southern edition a year or more ago, originated the phrase, 1.-The South as the New Vest"
 The advantages of the south in soil and climate over other divisions of the country are manifold. Everything that is produced in the north can be produced south of the Mason and Dixon line, and most farm products can be cultivated in the south with profit. Corn and hay, as we'll as cot ton, are being raised on large scale in the 'far south;" and with the progress in southern agriculture now in evidence it, may be assumed that within the next year or two the south, which. used to buy all it's food sup plies, will be big shipper of these lproducts. And as for truck farming no section can be made so prolific as this.
 1 Now, in view of the increasing at ltention which the south is receiving, the demand for good roads is more 1 pressing than ever. From 1900 to 1910 the south made creditable gains in ev- cry direction, as shown by the federal census. Every state increased Tn population and in wealth; but in or der for the south to go forward at a faster rate in this decade the good roads movement must have greatly increased impetus. The Jackson High way scheme is being enthusiastically discussed from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico, but along with this attrac- tive project every part of the south must have good roads. When it can be stated that scarcely a county in the cotton belt is without a modern road, then, but not until then, will z the tide of homeseekers rise to a

gates, and that if any such agree ments are made in his name he re- pudiates them in advance. We do not think such an announcement would endanger his renomination- that seems practically assured-and to be renominated fairly without the use of objectionable methods would be decided advantage in his effort to be reelected"

STORY OF MONA LISA"

admirable in it's outline, has the lips unit ing the rose-tints of their color with those of the face in the utmost perfee- tion and the oarnation of the cheek does not appear to be painted. but truly flesh and blood. He who looks earnestly at the pit of the throat cannot but believe that he sees the beating of the pulses. Mona Lisa was exceedingly beautiful, and while Leonardo was painting her DOT trait he took the preeaution of keep ing some one constantly near her to sing OF play on instruments, or. to jest and otherwise amuse her.
 Leonardo painted this picture in the full muturity of his talent, and, al- though t is now little more than monochrome owing to the free and merciless restoration to which it has been at times subjected, it must have created a wonderful impression on those who saw 1t in the early years of the sixteenth century. It is difficult for the unpracticed eye today to form any
 idea of it's original beauty Leonardo has here pointed this worldly-minded woman-her portrait is much more fa- nous than she herself ever was-with 8 marvellous charm and suayity, a finesse of expression never reached before and hardly equaled since. Contrast the head of the Christ at Milan, Leonardos con ception of divinity expressed in per feet humanity, with the subtle and sphnx-lilSe smile of this languorous crea- ture
 "The landscape background against which Mona Lisa is posed, recalls tho severe, rather than .exuberant, lan6- scape, and the dim vistas of mountain ranges seen in the neighborhood of his own birthplace. The portrait was bought during the reign of Francis l. for sum which is today equal to about f1s00. Leonardo, by the way does not seem to have been really affected by any individual affection for any woman and, like Michelangelo and Raphael never married"

"JAGs. IN BOXES

From the Parsons, (kan0, Sun.
 A former professor in the Boston Poly technic school, or, at least, he claimed tt be. was in Parsons this week showing 8 whisky jelly, 10 cents worth of which is
 guaranteed to produce as good Jag as pint of the ordinary liquid article. Those
 who saw the professors booze Jelly and tasted 1t said that it was the real thing and one man from Kentucky, who claims to know, said II was good article oi whisky, and the only fault he had to find with 1t was that 1t was too sweet. This was because of the ingredients that were put into 1t to make the whisky jelly. The professor said that the jelly was made by taking three gallons of 100 proof wnis- ky. which would make one gallon of the whisky jelly This was then put up in little tin drug boxes about the size of q silver dollar and half an inch deep, and can be sold at a profit the professor says, at 10 cents a box, each box warranted to contain one jag.
 Just think" said one man who had tasted the whisky jelly, and it tasted so good that he thought another little piece hOuluH uV nun any 't'iit'' tA-@N~t'N' VI V, man carrying a bottle around with him all he has to do is to have q few little boxes of this whisky jelly in his pocket, and the political speaker can take the lit tie box out while he is speaking and take a tablet just like cough tablet, and by the time he is through speaking he can have a well developed jag without in- terfering with his business.
 Until the legislature meets and amends the law so as to reach the whisky solids. the officers might have some trouble, in reaching the sale of the whisky jelly. The law makes it an offense to sell fin toxicating liquors," and this is no 'liquor" It's solid. The professor has submitted his whisky jelly to several law yers to obtain their opinions regarding the possibility of becoming liable und er the prohibition law, and his investigations have set some of the lawyers guessing. Some have opinions and some have not, and those having opinions differ
 According to one attorney, if the discov- cry is a homogeneous substance it can be sold and the law will not touch it. If it is heterogeneous, the law will cover 1t.
 The article was discovered by the pro- lessor in his classroom in Boston, and some of the pupils also got "onto 1t. The discoverer expects to have a conference with Attorney General Dawson before taking any steps for its manufacture.
 "The discovery will revolutionize the whole booze question:, said an attorney. Tt will necessitate new legislation in or der to control it, I believe. and then 1t will be almost impossible to prohibit boot logging"
