Every cat has its night.

There is no good cheer better than

Life is short at it's best, and the

AMONG THE HEAVY. EATERS
Remarkable Gastronomic Feats That

All Authenticated.

Champion Fried Egg Eater of the
Berkshires was the title OF Louis

ty-two eggs and the wager was on his
contention that he could easily in
crease this record to twenty-five.

record for fifty-four ears of green
corn.
At the beefsteak dinners of many
political clubs astounding records are
made in the consumtion of viands.
Some of those who take part think
nothing of eating ten and twelve
pounds Of meat at the sitting. At one

Gently eight baskets Of food were eat
en- by one diner. This basket includ-
ed a leg and a breast of a chicken,
twenty-five clans, two ears of corn
and four potatoes. This record is de-

posted up in an East side clubroom.

ECZEMA ITcHED AND BURNED

R. F. D. No. s, Maryville. Tenn
MY baby, when three months old,
took eczema on his face and head.
His head and one side of his face
were almost in a solid sore. The &C.
zema at first was kind Of a rash and
then it broke out in water pimples
and they would burst and looked very
badly. 1t would itch and burn so bad
ly that he could not rest at all and
his hair just all fell out at once till
his head was perfectly bald. He could
not sleep at night and was very cross,
II tried remedies without any relief
at all; he only got worse all the time
until / used Cuticura Soap and ONT

application. He was soon cured and
his hair began to grow back and now

SOCIAL SURVEY IS NEEDED
BY Knowing Facts and Conditions Ru-
raj People Could Work Together
Guide to Progress.

The present day movement for the
enrichment of rural life has found
one of its most practical aids in what
is known as the social survey; that is,
a detailed and systematic inquiry into
those facts and conditions which per
tain to the interests OF country dis
trict and which may be changed or
utilized for the community's prog
ress.
1t is doubtful that the average citi-
zen in most counties has any very def
mite idea concerning the conditions,
good or bad, of his immediate environ
ment, says the Atlanta Journal. He
scarcely is prepared to think clearly
or to act efficiently with his neighbors
in Efforts for social betterment. AS a
result we have many well intentioned
thories, but relatively few practical
achievements.
A social survey gathers complete
and authentic information on schools,
churches, highways, health, means OF
transportation, markets and on all
conditions that concern the peoples
common life. Such a survey would
show among other things the products
of a particular county; 1t would show
the growth or decline Of agriculture
interests, whether the trend of popu-
latioh was away from the farm, and
IL SO the reasons; 1t would show what
crops could be grown most profitablyr
what opportunities were being neg.
lected, what tendencies should be en-
couraged and what should be checked
The Ohio board of agriculture has
recently done some very effective
work in this direction, as has also the
University of Wisconsin; but no ef-
forts of the kind are more interesting
than those undertaken a few seasons
ago by the Georgia club of the State
Normal school at Athens.
This club, composed of members OF
the student body and the faculty
with associate members in various
parts of the state, applied itself to the
study of economic and social condi'
tons In particular counties and, to
make the work as specific as possible
each student. or group of students,
was assigned his home county for In
vestigation. He would gather as
many facts as he could, classify them
and interpret them. Then all this In
formation was published in a report
and distributed among leading citizens
Of the county under review. An i'm
portant feature Of this research was
that the students kept in close touch
with the people Of their respective
counties so that their findings were
well balanced and carried direct 10
cal appeal. II is a matter of record
that these reports have frequently
served to awaken a county to needs
or opportunities which had long been
neglected.
The social or rural survey is as es-
sential in its sphere as is a soil sur.
vey to the farmer or a chemical analy-
sis to the manufacturer. 1t furnishes
the starting point and guidance to
true progress.

Early Wall Paintings.

1t is probable that the earliest wall
paintings we're those of the Egyp-
tians. Those people employed a dis
temper containing dissolved gum and
their principal pigments were white
chalk, a vegetable yellow ochre. Ethi-
opian cinnabar, blue powdered glass
stained with copper and charcoal
black. The walls Of Assyrian and
Babylonian dwellings were treated
in much the same way, and the prac-
tice was certainly in vogue in Assyria.
It has been believed that the Greeks
understood true frescoe work, appor-
