had played in her career, "Some people
believe in such things. but to my mind
pluck has much more to do with success
than anything else. OF course / think
it may be called luck perhaps, when an
opportunity presents itself and you have
the good judgment or the foresight TO

steps to injure this is a dangerous
thing to be in any community, a
nuisance and should be abated.
The examinations from attorneys
shonld be more rigid, that incompe-

crooked practice the men of the pro-

THE WAR ON LIQUOR

We seem to be getting closer to
the point where it will be possible
to separate the goats from the sheep
in the matter Of liquor drinking, says
the Shreveport, (La.) Times. The
lines are being drawn tight even if
the number of people who get tight"
is increasing, as the "liquor men"
claim, or is decreasing, as the dry
element claims. Perhaps the day is
not far distant when it will be
misdemeanor to swallow wee dram
of whiskey or a glass of beer, except
for medical purposes. There's a
blessed exception for you who desire
comfort in this hour of trouble.
You remember every time the
devil got sick he wanted to ne u
monk-wcll, the man who likes his
mornings morning" probably will
want something else and he is apt
to become a bedridden invalid. We
shudder to think of the amount of
sickness that is going to confront
the medical profession Of Mississippi
when the May-Mott-Lewis bill be-
comes law in our sister State.
Mississippi proposes to stop ship
ments Of liquor to an individual in
the State in quantities of more than
a gallon and then only upon ply
sic:an's certificate that it is needed
for medical use.
As we understand it, the law says
nothing about carrying whiskey per-
conally. We see where the o@ssen-
ger service on the Mississippi rail-
roads is going to get a boost, and if
travellers baggage also is exempt,
maybe the excess baggage collections
WON'T mount up!
Imagine, if you can, too, how a
sympathetic doctor will find the
heart to resist the plea Of perfectly
good mint bed going to waste or the
appeal of bowling thirst on a hot
day in August! Besides, everybody
knows that a gallon of O-B-Joyful,
fortified with rock candy and lemon
peel, is the best cure and prevention
of bad colds, chills, fevers, headaches
indigestion. malaria, measles, chick
enpozx, humps and the various ills
to which flesh is heir. No hill billy
doctor is going to risk his profess
sional reputation and popularity by
denying It. Not by joyful! Which
recalls an ancient ditty:
cha, ha, ma, you and me-
Little brown jug, how I love thee!'
It's somewhat of mournful tune

clear 80 minutes before retiring. A
hot room lacks oxygen. Fresh air

A cold room means, of course, a

part of the way home.
Alcohol, much or little, excites the
brain. 1t is best avoided. Reading in

Read nothing exciting, or anything
which demands concentration. Both
are bad. A dull book, small print and
a bad light are excellent sleep pro-
ducers! The pressure of blood on
the brain can be eased by sponging
the head in cold water, or putting
cold compress on the back of the

SINISTER LAWYERS

1t would be difficult to even esti-
mate the amount of damage done
each year in the country by shyster
lawyers, as there is hardly a day
that these crooks do not start some
action with the hope of bleeding
some one for money. In many cases
they are successful and the prospec-
tive victim submits to the bleeding
process rather than go through the
embarrassment that must follow II
he goes into court, to say nothing OF
the expense. it being cheaper in most
cases to settle out of court than to
go to court with the hope of fav-
orable verdict, and for these reasons
the shysters are successful in more
cases than many imagine.

The President, in fine physical

office until o'clock working

THERE ARE WAYS OF
CHECKING INSOMNIA
Some Simple Rules that If Followed
Carefully Will Induce
Blessed Sleep. Ii

Are you one of the "can't sleep
crowd? Have you had another dread
tul nights rest?" Then you are quail
flying as victim of dread insomnia.
It begins with broken nights, and
the sleep which only comes from
sheer exhaustion. It's serious.
What is the sentence in so many
suicides letters. II haven't slept for
nights" You don't want to come to
that, do you? You may not; but in
sufficient rest, either from sheer in
ability to sleep, or the cutting short
of the hours of rest by scorning the
"early-toIbed" rule, means premature
old age, and ever lessening brain
power, a broken nervous system and
decaying faculties. Good looks 60
too, if the other penalties fail to
brighten you. But they are not
bogeys-they are real.
Now, before you begin to seek for
remedies, put to yourself this ques-
ton: "Why cannot l go to sleep%
Your mode of life, your work, your
pleasures, food-what it is and how
you eat it-your habits, your temper
ament; the cause is there somewhere
If you are brain worker you re-
quire eight hours clear sleep, quie1
day end and a quiet weekend. Ane
, you need to be careful over your fooo
and digestion. There is intimate con-
nection between digestion, nerves
brain and slep. Plain food, eater
lowly, means good digestion, and the
elimination of factor which makes
against rest. Perhaps that is al
which is wrong?

/ One exhausts, or excites; the othel
is recreative. See to it that YOU
pleasures, especially your evening
ones, are not of the sort that "tak'
it out of you" Many of the can

to put themselves right.

drance to sleep. It's no use worry

That Pine Bluff is growing is

was nearly $2,000,O0O, and the tn

in popularity as a general staple Of
food throughout tAe Nippon islands
1t is sold fresh II the markets with
other meats, ar.i is also used by the
populace after it has been canned.
The meat has a strong fishy taste and
rancid oder, which puts it outside tho
pale Of foreigners dict in Japan. but
the natives pay littlc attention either
to the taste or the smell
At the canning factories expert

this is done 1t is predicted that canned
whale meat will become cheap food
throughout the world.
