THINK BEFORE BREAKFAST.
You Can Do. It Better Because Your
Mind Will Be Clearer.

You Can Do It Better Because Your
Mind Will Be Clearer.
To say ''Think before you eat"
sounds something like "Look be-
fore you leap" and there is really
Just as much reason for one as for
the other, according to many au-
thorities who have long studied
mankind to learn when they were
capable of their best thinking.
If man is dependent upon his
life work by means of his thinking
it is just as important that he should
choose that time when he is best
qualified to think as it is impor-
tant that he should look before he
crosses street.
Morning, before breakfast, is said
to be the very best time for think
ing. There are always exceptions.
Then, again, there are many who
declare they can think better at
night who perhaps never made the
experiment Of giving serious thought
to anything before breakfasting.
Men who employ thousands of OPP
eratives, clerks and such people are
agreed that their employees produce
a great deal more work during the
hour before they go to lunch than
they do during the hour right after
lunch.
Of course the reason for this is
quite natural. The food taken into
the stomach calls upon the blood to
help do it's share in the work of d.
gestion, and this leaves less blood in
the brain. When all the blood goes
from the brain. or nearly all, a per-
son becomes unconscIous--tlla hat is.
utterly unable to think at all ID
any degree. Consequently it is only
logic to claim that anything that
takes the blood from the brain de-
tracts just SO much from ones
thinking capacity.
Probably the majority of novelists
DO the best part Of heir work in the
morning. Many Of them take a
very light breakfast, cup of mild
coffee and some toast, and then
write four or five hours. After that
they take hearty meal and devote
the remainder Of the day to play
that is, to idleness or exercise or
motoring OF anything that amuses
them, but does not call for brain
concentration.
A great many business men have
habit of debating all their letters
the first thing upon entering their
Office in the morning. Other let
tiers that come through the day are
unanswered except in cases of neces-
sity until the next morning. In
this manner these men are able to
think clearly and concisely and
quickly in the morning and dictate
much better letters-letters that
are clearer and of more value to the
business man.
After a big dinner, specially
hearty meal, we feel dull and heavy.
Feeling like that, we are certainly
not as brilliant mentally as we were
before eating.-New York Ameri-
can.

Bootleaqinq.

Nashville is supposed to be a dry
city now, but occasionally one drunk
is picked up. The hundreds Of bar
rels of whisky that are being shipped
in are not for local consumption, but
to be reshipped to points in other
states. Nashville really has several
places that arc "closed on account of
darkness" in midday, and the boys
mouths look very dry. The report has
been circulated that Negroes are do
ing a land-office business in the "boot-
logging" brigade. Well, this may or
may not be true. If 1t is true the
members Of the legislature who passed
the fake bill to allow wholesalers to
do business in the state ought to be
put in Jail instead Of the fellow w>o
falls into the temptation. But this
will not be done, and the Negro who
bootlegs knows he will have to bear
his own burden and therefore needs
no sympathy
All men can do without whisky
and beer. Why then should any one
be so foolish as to get into trouble
about thing he can do without? We
believe in true temperance, but the
kind we have in Tennessee is n di"
grace to civilization. The people OF
this state are being made tools for
the politicians, who are being en-
riched through the pretcnse Of civic
Righteousness. But after all there is
no excuse for the bootlegger He
knows he is doing wrong when he

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF
SISTER AGNES CHARLTON.

Composed by Mrs Sarah Lytton.
There lies inferred beneath that Sc
cred pile,
My darling friend on whom I've
gazed with look sincere.
Freed from the world, from all its
cares and toll,
The last sad relics of friend so
dear.
Peace to her ashes quiescent in the
ground,
Let her repose until the last great
day,
When the loud trumpet's echoing
sound,
Shall bid her tenement clay arise
Then quickly will burst the slender
confines of the tomb,
And she will haste to realm above
with JOY elate;
There await with patience to receive
her doom
From Him most high, great ArbiteI
of fate.
Then shall we meet and I behold once
more
The tender, loving friend whom
loved so dear;
Swift as lightning may the years pass
DER,
Till that wishes for day of happi
ness appear.

in the narrow path, when that deputy

to make living, He is not going to
do it. He is going to make the law

around and smokes his pipe and tells
how he nabbed that fellow with a

ware. Get a job and go to work like

NATIONAL NEGRO PR s s

Segregation.

The question of segregating Negroes
is live topic in every part of this
country. The Jim crow fever has
about reached its highest degree, and
the white man, of the manner born,
must have something to abuse the
Negro about. This question is being
discussed from every angle, but as
yet no one has been able to advance
a Single argument that proves that
the scheme can do other than harm
the Negro. This more the matter is
discussed the palmer it is that the
perpetrators of this diabolical plot
are endeavoring to crush the life out
of the Negro; to chill his ambition;
to check his progress.
The attitude Of the democratic adj
ministration in this matter Is causing
some to be alarmed, but the truth is
segregation would have come to the
surface regardless to who or what
party had charge of the affairs OF
the nation. 1t is one or those condi-
lions that must come in a nation
with a temperament like the people OF
this nation have, and the Negroes
will simply have to fight it as they
have had to fight the other unjust
laws that have been passed in this
country against them.
It seems, at first thought, that no
body cares what is done to the Negro
but when cognlzance is taken of the
efforts being put forth by people Of
high standing, both white and black
contending for fair play, it is sutfici
ent to convince the most pessimisti(
that right will prevail in the end. VI
is the Negroes duty to put himself or
record as being opposed to such un
lust treatment They should not i'm
press the world to believe that they
think it is a good plan, and those
leaders who advocate such a scheme
bear watching. No sane person be
lieves that it is best for the race t
be segregated, It would be an &C
Acknowledgement that we are a race o
savages, and that 1t is impossible t.
instill into us the fundamental prin
ciples of civilization. Segregation i
mean and cowardly All of the ha
tired of Tillman, Vardaman, Hok
Smith and their kind Is wrapped u
in this hellish scheme. We may hav
to swallow the dose, but we do no
have to say 1t is sweet.
