ARRAIGNS THE MODERN CHAIR
Writer Declares II Menace to
Health as Well as Uncomfortable
to the Occupant.

is that chair comfortable?' asks
our hostess, and when we have an
swered, truthfully or otherwise, she
considers her duty done.
is that chair deadly?" is a question
have begun asking myself when |
see persons try to adjust themselves
to chairs manifestly untitled to them
and to any other person of normal
structure.
AS friend and apostle of health
! arraign the chair as one of the dis
ease makers of the age.
A chair to be healthful and rest
full should be adapted to the human
figure, but an intelligent glance at
chair will prove that it is far from
it.
If chair were adapted to the fig
ure the seat would be hollow, but
it is fat No person was ever so
constructed as to sit with ease on a
chair seat as chair seats are made.
The back of a chair is straight
That is contrary, too, to the lines Of
the human figure. The lower part
of chair back, to conform to human
anatomy, should be followed out for
a depth of six or more inches. To fit
the back the upper half of it should
be straight and form a support for
the back.
Chairs have committed the crime
of curvature of the spine. Spines, es-
pecially those of children, are twist
ed out of place, far to one side, in
an effort at adjustment. They cause
a crowding and displacement OF the
vital organs by forcing persons to slip
down at an angle upon them, thrust
out the abdomen and commit that vul-
garity which is called sitting on the
spine. Chicago American

Spublic Opinions
Farmer Street Bridge

Editor Reveille:
DEAR SIR:-By request OF many
of the leading citizensof Port Glib
son, and county residents adloln-
ing, the County Board called a
special meeting to devise plans for
preventing the banks above the
south end of Farmer Street bridge
from further destruction.
1t was decided that the opinion
of an engineer was necessary and
20 that end in view, the services OF
Mr.. H. NJ. Marshall, a prominent
engineer of Vicksburg was called
upon to advise in the matter.
Mr.. Marshalrs report is an able
treatise on the subject, with rec
concentrations and information as
to the methods to be used to pre-
vent further destruction of the
shore, and the cost thereof. which
ranged from few hundred to sew
eraI thousand dollars, but on ac-
count of the high water, nothing
can be done until that has SUBJ
sided.
The former Board, as well as the
present one. has bad practically
all of the information given for
shore protection by Mr.. Marshall,
presented to them at various times,
in the past, but owing to the coun'
tvs financial condition, and some
adverse opinions as to the advisa'
bility of such expenditures the
matter has not been acted upon.
The abutment placed at the bass
of the approach has withstood the
high waters SO tar, and present
conditions indicate that thereis is NJ
danger of the anchorage PivInt
away, or the safety OF The bridg'
imperiled except by reason 0

One little sin leads to others and

Don't get angry when you read

this while you are doing it. It's
just to get the license you are
working for, no matter what you

If what you know won't carry
you through on examination, then

Do you ever think while you are

is watching you, and maybe the
examiners7 Do you think it pleases
God to see any Of bis people act
thus7

tention has been called to it.
Our State Agent writes that it is
doubtful about the Department
being able to furnish the club girls
with seed. and if it does it will be
so late that you will not get the
best results. Now roc. worth of
seed will be ample for your ITO
acre. Use care in selecting a
smooth, RED kind-Acme or the
Stone are good. She writes that
Henry Field of Shenandoah, Iowa,
has named BIG RED tomato, of
the Stone variety, "The Missis-
sippi Girl" If you wish to show
your appreciation of this comPli
ment, you may do so by ordering
some of your seed from him and
testing them. Plant about one
tenth OF your plot in early toma-
toes; follow with two successive
plantings about three or four weeks
apart. At least one row of each,
beans, okra and cucumbers, should
be planted. And l am going to
suggest row of corn. Now am
going to suggest that my girls
work as schools-that is, cooper
ate in the work and in the materi-
ais.
The south has been slow to learn
this lesson, but I am going to ask
you to try it. The girls of a GER
tain school, for instance, might
purchase a Gamer together. Mary
could use it one day, and Julia and
Ella go and help her, and Julia
the next, with the others to help
her, and SO on. Don't you see
Just how nice it would be, and il
is so much fun when several are
together working. The same meth
Cd might be followed with the
seed. One might buy paper of
Acme, another paper Of Stone,
and third might send off for a
paper of Mississippi Girl, and
swap plants. And another thing
you might do by schools each
week. You might get together
and write me a letter from your
school telling me what you are
doing. and by this means I could
| keep in touch with my whole ter
ritory, and know each week what
my girls were doing. Won't you
try this cooperation plan7 One
more suggestion, and I will quit
for this time. Make a canning
scrap book; that is, post my let,
ters in a blank book so that you
can refer to them when the instruc-
Ftion is needed.
With best love to each Of you
and hopes for abundant success

sev eral seasons through which they
dragged in the mire of the loathsome cell

large number of enthusiastic fans
greeted the Barons. though none of them
complimenied the visitors with cheer.
One of the haclSmen consoled Bill Prough,
who is slated 10 work tomorrow with a
prediction that after the Crackers had
finished with him he would never look
the same again. But Bill simply grunted
and proceeded on his way unperturbed.
Manager Smith met the Barons at the
Majestic hotel, where they are domiciled.
He is bubbling over for victory is sweet TO
Billy after several seasons fasting. He
frankly stated that In his opinion he
has gathered great team, one of the
best he has ever seen in the history of the
league. He predicted that at the game
tomorrow 10000 people would be gathered.
He also predicted that Atlanta would de-
feat Birmingham.
