SNOW AND SLEET SUNDAY.
Sumter Citizens Saw First Flakes of
Season Sunday Morning, When
Cold Wave Came.

There was a slight furry Of snow
seen here Sunday morning, the first
of the season and unusually early in
the year for this section Of the coun-

very slight fall of sleet early in the
morning, but as both snow and sleet
melted as soon as the particles reach
ed the ground there was no vestige
of either left for any time.
The snow fell about ten o'clock in
the morning and the sleet came be-
tween eight and nine o'clock. The
heavy rainfall Saturday afternoon
and night was followed by big drop
in temperature Sunday morning. The
day was cold and windy, with the
sun shining most of the time. Sum

experienced thus far this fall, there
being a good coating Of ice Monday

FIERCE FIGHT, NO QUARTER.

Laredo. Texas, Nov. 9.-Warfare
without quarter, with the opposing

Didn't Think Much of Lecturer.

A well-known Boston lecturer was
to give one of his LECTURES in a west
ern city in which he had sister who
had family of several children. He
was the guest of his sister, and his
nephew, lad of nine or ten years,
wanted to attend the lecture. To this
his uncle said:
II don't think that my lecture would
interest you, Harold. You would be
much better off at home and in bed.
Now if you will stay at home and go
to bed, will give you dollar. which
is the price of a ticket to the lecture
"a dollar!" said the boy with a
gasp. why. uncle, it surely can't be
worth all that! l guess that fifteen
cents will be enough for you to pay
me. Don't you suppose that that will
be as much as it will be worth ?"-n-

FRUITS IN THE HOT WEATHER
Natures, Provision for the Preserva-
tion Of Health When the Mer-
curry Is Soaring.

It is hardly necessary to tell the
summer girl to add fruits to her
beauty diet. There is whole medi-
cine chest of tonics to be found among
the fruits, and these are natures
remedies which leaves no i'll effects.
Perhaps among the tonic fruits, ap-
pies. prunes and pineapples are most
conspicuous. OF apples little need be
said other than that the axiom of our
childhood days, gold in the morning,
silver at noon and lead at night" has
been abandoned. For the normal per-
son apples are golden whether eaten
at night or noon. AS both food and
physic," prunes are pre-eminent-
There is no simpler, pleasanter laxa-
tive than handful of prunes. Soak
them in glass of water overnight
and take them the first thing in the
morning, drinking the fruit juice and
masticating the prunes thoroughly be-
fore swallowing. If this simple regi-
men is kept up for a week or so it
will clear out the system wonderfully
and also tone up the nerves.
The remedial powers of the pineap-
pie are truly remarkable. If your
throat is swollen or sore, or irritated
with dirt after a fascinating motor
trip on summer roads, try gargling it
in pineapple juice. Surely this is
much pleasanter than the usual To-
tions, and you will find it quite as
effective. Moreover, the pineapple
contains wonderful digestive fluid,
SO the girl whose blotchy skin is due
to poor digestion will do well to eat
this fruit in large quantities. as it will
make easy the process of digestion
and prevent the dull headaches, the
pimples and muddy skin of which she
is at present complaining.

EASY TO EXAMINE THE LUNGS
Physicians Now Enabled to Perform
Rare Operations With the New
Bronchoscope.

An instrument known as the bron-
choscope has been introduced at the
Medico- Chirurgical hospital, Philadel-
phia, to aid in the examination of the
lungs and to remove foreign sub
stances therefrom.
The bronchoscope is U-shaped. One
of the legs is hollow and is surmount-
ed by small mirror and an electric
light. To remove foreign body from
the lungs, the hollow leg is inserted
in the mouth and permitted to pass
down the throat until it reaches the
vocal chords. With the aid of the
mirror and light on the outer end an
examination of the lungs is then made
and the foreign substance located.
This done, a small steel tweezer is
passed through the hollow tube and
the offending particle removed.
DR.. R. S. Skillern and his FIVE as
sistants in the nose and throat de-
partment of the institution are skilled
in the manipulation of the broncto-
scope, and have been performing some
rare operations. Such things as COL
lar buttons, screws, safety pins, chick
en- bones, nails, and dried peas have
been removed.
The instrument affords specialists
an opportunity of looking into the
lungs of tuberculosis patients.

Judges Good Advice.

paneling grand jury recently. MANY
hard-earned reputation has been de-
stroyed by the filing of unnecessary
indictments. and the dismissal of the
indictment does not remove the stig-
ma upon persons name"
That is good advice for any grand
jury anywhere. There is always dan
ger of the thought that this isn't a.
trial; 1t isn't calling him guilty; he'll
have his chance later on; we'll indict
him on general principles" But it is
hard for anyone to undo the damage
caused by an unjustified Indictment.
There would be no harm to the COM
munity If indictments were made
more difficult instead Of more easy

New Way Of Preserving Eggs.

A new way of preserving eggs has
been practiced IN Bavaria recently
which is said to be satisfactory. The
eggs are placed in water of tempera-
ture of about 95 degrees for a quarter
of an hour. Then they are put on q
net. held for Ave seconds in boiling
water. and then. as quickly as pos
sible, removed into cold water. The

to the air. They must not be dried
off with cloth or towel. When they
are dry they are packed in box with
bran and ground peat. The box is
stored in cool place. out Of reach OF
frost. Eggs thus preserved in Juno
were found to be perfectly fresh next

WASHINGTON NEWS
By Edward Keating.

1t is believed in Washington that
| the appointment of Congressman
Francis Burton Harrison, of New
York, as Governor General of the
Philippines, means that Uncle Sam
will soon be rid of his insular white
elephant.
The islands will not be turned
adrift, to become the prey Of the
greedy world-pOwers. That would be
unthinkable. At the proper time this
country will propose to England, ja-
pan, Germany and the other nations
which have developed an appetite for
land which does not belong to them
that the Philippines be recognized
as free and independent nation
and that their neutrality be guaran-
teed by the powers which are parties
to the guarantee. 1t Is not believ-
ed that such a proposition could be
rejected, and its acceptance would
solve the Philippine question for all
time to come.
OF course, the PRESIDENTS views on
this subject have not been given to
the public, but those who are close
to him feel he wants to free the is
lands as soon as circumstances will
permit.
