What 1t Costs to Be Sick.

There are over 100000 people
sick in the United States all the time,
says that eminent authority, the CEN
sus bureau. Statistics compiled by
the commissioner of labor places the
cost of sickness and death at S27 per
annum in laborers' families, which
is, of course, a low average estimate
for all classes. But even at this rate
the 100000 families of the United
States would make the total bill Of
caring for illness and death $780,
100000. Add to this the estimated
loss of wages, S5OO,000,000, and we
have the appalling total of $780,
100000.
And the worst of it is that at least
one-third of this is estimated to be
preventable. What a waste Of money
and what is of far more Importance.
of vitality and of life itself. By SIM
pie sanitary measures, by drainage
and by the destruction of flies and
mosquitoes, most of this waste could
be saved. 1t is certainly time to get
busy

Swallowed Bicycle Balls,

Atlanta, Oct., An Atlanta phy-
sician vouches for the truth of an
amusing story he gets from collea-
que at Hartwell. One of the Hart
we'll physicians patients had an all
nent which required his taking some
pills. The pill prescription was fill
ed and sent to the house. But the
patients son happened to get hold
of an old pill box to hold the steel
balls he took out of the wheel of his
ball-bearing bicycle. The father got
hold of the wrong box and took the
steel balls. He took one of them af-
ter each meal, and at the end of four
days, before the accident was dis
covered, called up the physician to
tell him that the medicine had cured
him completely. The real pills were
never needed, so strong was the pow
er of suggestion.

The Strike in Augusta.

Last week the employees of the
Augusta street railway went out on
strike, and when the company at
tempted to run their cars with non
union men the wires were cut and
the workmen interfered with. The
disorder was so great the soldiers
were ordered to Augusta by the gov
ernor of Georgia and the city was put
under martial law. Three men were
shot and killed by the soldiers. A
dead line had been established, as 1t
was reported that former employees
would attempt to dynamite the power
house, and as persons in automobiles
and other vehicles attempted to pass
they were fired on and three men
killed. Those killed had nothing to
Go with the strike, and the incident
was most unfortunate. Several COM
panies of troops are still in the city,
and as the railway authorities refuse
to aribtrate the differences, the end
is no. yet in sight.

The Cost of Living.

A Kansas farmer, so the story
goes, came into town to buy a new
wagon. The dealer made price OF
$40 to which the farmer objected,
saying that he had purchased the
same style and make of wagon many
years before for $50.
The dealer explained that the ad-
vance in the price was due to high
er cost of materials, etc., but the
farmer was not convinced. After a
lengthy argument it developed that
the farmer ten years before had
paid for the $50 wagon with 800
bushels of corn: corn at that time
bringing ten cents per bushel.
II will tell you what I will do"
said the dealer. "You give me 800
bushels of corn for this $40 wagon
and I will make you present OF the
best reaper in my stock, your choice
of surveys, and you can bring your
wife down and 1 will make her a
present of the best kitchen range I
have in the place and will fit her
kitchen up complete with new dishes
and cooking utensils. Is it bar
gain?"
1t wasn't.-Wall Street Journal.

TRAINAIEN INJURED IN WRECK.
A. G.. L. Train Derailed at Lone Star.
No Passengers Hurt.

Florence, Sept. 25.-Train No. 30,
the fast through passenger from Au-
gusta to Florence, was wrecked four
hundred yards south of the station
at Lone Star, Orangeburg county,
about 6 o'clock this afternoon. The
engine, tender, mail, baggage and
express car and two coaches were
derailed and followed the engine over
an embankment.
The engine, No. 234, big copper
head, it Is stated, turned upside
down. The train was in charge Of
Engineer James L. Wysong and Con-
ductor J. V. (Ben) Harker, both Of
this city.
Mr.. Wysong had his leg broken at
the ankle, the mail clerk, express
messenger and baggagemaster were
all more or less injured. The report
from Conductor Harker to the Of
fcials here stated that none of the
passengers were injured. The en-
gine left the rail just as Engineer
Wysong had slowed his train down
for the station, or the wreck would
have been decidedly more serious.
The wrecking train was sent out
from here early tonight for the scene
of the wreck to clear the main line,
which it is thought can be done by
morning.

Saving Bill.

Tom McNeal, the Kansas philoso-
pher, tells a story of the intensely
religious Kentucky mountaineer who
believed that salvation was to be OBJ
tanned only through immersion. He
had neighbor who didn't agree with
him and they had many arguments
on the subject Finally the upholder
of immersion told his wife he thought
it his duty to go over and save the
unregenrate neighbor. Two hours
later, he returned, and this is what
he told his wife:
Il says to him, says l: Bill, you
hard-headed and pertnacious sinner,
do you acknowledge they hain't no
such thing as bein' saved without be-
in dipped?' An he brustles up an
says: I don't acknowledge nuthin'
of the kind An then I says to him:
Bill, I've come over here to save
you-all's contrary an obdurate soul,
which is in the gall of bitterness an
the bonds of iniquity, an I'm goin'
to do it. Air you-all-willin' to be
dipped?'
"'Not on your triflin', misguided
life!' he says. :'Then,' says L, peel
your wammus, Bill, fur this here
thing has got to be settled now
"Well, Bill he peeled his wammus
quick enough, fur I'll say fur him he

and fight fur a bad cause. We fit, l

up considerable sod. Fur spell it
was nip an tuck between the forces

don, but 1 finally managed to git my
thumb inter Bills eye and I says,
says I: Bill, air you-all wllin' to

it no longer an he up an yells: Dip

thumb outer my eye!'
"Will you-all be dipped?' 1 asked
him. He hesitates an 1 shoves my
thumb in again an then he yells: I
