Don't Be a Mushroom.

In the October American Mag azine William Johnston says that it is probably your own fault if you are all the time catching colds or having indiges- tion or headaches. He goes on to say:
 Mature intends every human being to be strong and we'll. Most disease is either ignorance or carelessness. Babies-even the babies of sickly, ignorant, in- competent parents-are given a pretty good start by Nature. If children get sickly, it nearly al- ways is the fault of the person taking care of them. If when they grow up they remain un- healthy, it is largely their own fault.
 " But you protest, 'I can't help it if l inherit a weak stom- ach.' Oh, yes, you can.
 "Did you ever systematically study your stomach? If you were going to be a lawyer, you would study law. If you were going to be a stenographer you would study shorthand. If you are going to be healthy, study health.

Hard Work at Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, April 4.-High
winds and beating rain made work
for the flood fighters along the Missis-
sippi river last night, but unless the
disturbance is prolonged, which is not
anticipated, those directing the fight
do not believe the consequences will
be serious.
Wave washes were reported from
several points, but so far as reports
received here indicate, damage to the
levees have been slight. Major c. M,
Markham, engineer in charge of the
corps of United States engineers sta
toned here, asserted last night that
men in sufficient numbers are avail
able at all points that might be en-
dangered.

ATE FIGHT.

houseman, employed by the Hatties-
burg Grocery Company, received two

same company drove a long bladed
knife into his shoulder and back at
$3.50 o'clock this morning, while the
two men were waiting for the rain,
then falling. to cease so they could
begin work.
The assault grew out of the re-
sentiment of Harper at DeLoach's in
reference, when an angry dispute
over nothing arose between Harper
and Bennie Boone, another laborer at
the same warehouse.
Harper having threatened him in
the event certain statement by De
Loach was carried out, he opened hi'
knife and laid it aside for ready use

his banter, Harper grabbed his knife
