The Effect of
HOmeSiCkneSS
on Children.

Children often suffer from homesick-
ness when away from home. and If the
conditions continue after a reasonable
length of time they should be humored
mot that a child should be encouraged
In remaining tied to It's mothers apron
strings all its life, but the first visits
away from the maternal roof should
be very carefully arranged, so as not
to have q disastrous effect upon the
happiness of future visits and subse-
quent modification and u~nhapplness,
which sometimes last all ones life
Children are lonely little creatures,
and as their lives are usually very regu-
lar any departure from the daily rou-
tine is very upsetting. It Is as well for
q child to be SO used to going to sleep
by himself from the first and to learn
to help himself as soon as possible.
But, no matter how carefully guarded
a child Is, there may come a time when
be will hear some silly talk from the
maids or from other children about
burglars or ghosts or other nocturnal
frights, which will upset in an instant
all the sensible mother training, with
subsequent difficulty In getting to sleep
and need for mothers constant pres
ence.
There Is no use In scolding a child for
such fears, for often grown persons
have them, although you will find that
most adult sufferers have had them
from childhood. Happy now is the
mother who has made h0r children
open with her. She alone can over
come these bedtime fancies by judi
cious comforting, sensible thrasbing out
of the subject and diversion In the way
of introduction of other stories at bed
time.
But IL a nervous child must for some
reason be sent away or intrusted to an
others care at night let the bedtime
companion be carefully chosen. Chill
dren are much afraid of ridicule and
store up many hopes and fears In their
own little hearts to be worried over at
bedtime. When mother is not there to
comfort the Inconsistencies may be very
severe al that time, and somebody who
knows how to cope with the situation
can do much to overcome 1t.
1t is an excellent plan always to give
a baby its water from a teaspoon rath-
er than from a bottle, because In this
way ever a tiny baby will learn to
drink from a spoon-an Invaluable
knowledge when 1t is necessary to give
medicine. When a child is sick the
kidneys are only too prone to be af-
fected, and 1t is essential to provide
plenty of water, especially In cases like
scarlet fever, where kidney compiled
lions are more usual than not.
A child with a tendency to constipa-
ton or any stomach trouble should be
encouraged to drink plenty Of water.
If 1t rebels against a full glass give
half or even a quarter of a glass at a
time. and make a game of it. 1t is
just as important to provide good
drinking water as good food, and for
the first few days at a new place one
should make the children drink rather
sparingly until the properties of the
water have become familiar.

On Cotton AS Contraband.

capable citizens ia the United States, when asked to
investigate the exporting of cotton and interpret the
laws of nations on this subject for the American plow.

by q cabal formed for securing political advantage
for faction through a dirty intrigue, and in reck-
less disregard Of the peoples interest, and unmlnd-
fulness Of the sanctity of the Oaths of office and
duty to the State, lodged the issue 1t had invited.
That much is VIGOROUSLY true.
The party named by the Governor and others
concerned practically admitted the truth Of the
charge-substantially confessed to the transgressiOns
with which they were charged.
The admissions they made we're shameful; and
yet the miserable culprits were, in a manner, white
washed by the confraternity of the faction In con-
troll to which they belonged.
The principsl-a high official of the State-whO
was to have been the chief beneficiary of the off
.cial misconduct of the Governor in the event he fell
to the scheme, is now a prominent candidate for
nomination to the Governorship another is an
''also'' candidate for the place and still another is
an active candidate for nomination to the Lieuten-
ant Governorship, and he and the chief mischief
maker, whose fugleman he aspired to be in the game
of filthy politics they were playing, seem to have a
considerable following.
Knavery still prospers, and continues to make
proselytes of the ignorant.
How such things can be, it is hard to realize.
Yea, it is hard to realize that in the whirligig
of time-in the ebb and flow of political deals and
~doings-public spirit among Mississippians, and
their self respecting pride and character, has fallen
to such low levels that partisanship is permitted to
usurp the place of patriotism and self-accused bribe-
takers and a self confessed liar and others of his
ilk, who are would. be corrupters, are welcomed as
candidates for high station and are applauded as
patriots for their plausible fabrications and are com
mended for the infamies they confess to have COM
mitted.
Never was there greater need for purity of pur'
pose and patriotic performance on the part of Mis-
sissippi voters than now, for never before in the
State was political d~epravity so open and bold and
defiant in asserting itself.
We should vote for the best men.

THOROUGHNESS

This being the final occasion when this paper
fore the primaries are pulled off, it wishes to say
for its last words to them:
Be Thorough.
To a man who in, what Longfellow aptly calls
the worlds broad field of battle" fights not for
the love of strife. or it's glory and fame, but from
a sense Of obligation, nothing is of more worth
than is the satisfaction born of consciousness of
duty done.
And in that connection, this, too, is worthy Of
consideration;
The supremeness of the satisfaction enjoyed
is dependent upon the fidelity with which the obi
cation is met, and the thoroughness of the perfor-
nance of the performance done.
The primaries will be held next Tuesday, Au-
gust Sd.
The ticket, necessarily, is a long: affair, there
being so many patriotic souls eager to serve the
State for the honor-and the pay-of office.
The number of candidates for nomination to
both State and County offices is large in all of the
counties.
When the ticket containing the list is before
the voter, and he retires to the voting booth to
prepare his ballot, he is alone except that he is
brought face to fnce with duty, in the presence of
God.
The duty he is then about to render is of the
highest type, it being neither more nor less. or any
thing else. than duty to himself, to his country and
his God.
Upon the result of the choice of the voters de-
ponds. in great measure; the veal or woe of the
State: and the result itself is solely dependent upon
thoroughness used in scanning the list of candi-
dates-thoroughness in the consideration of the
claims and merits of each and upon the wisdom
and patriotism exercised in the selection of a choice
between the contestants.
At such a time he, if he is a self-respecting
person. should fully realize that he is, in deed and
in truth
. 'The freeman casting with Impoverished hand
The vote that shakes the turrets of the land"
The nomination next Tuesday of a ~forceful,
cleau character for the Gubernatorial office and of
strong, independent, honest and capable men for
the Legislature, who will represent the wishes
and wants of the people and not those of some
self-seeking political schemer, selfish interest or
blind faction, greedy and clamorous, and reckless
of the common good. will do much to redeem the
good name lost by Mississippi through the misdeeds
and general cussedness of some of the nominees
selected for high place four years ago.

every farmer in the south shall
eat bread from his own fields and
meat from his own pastures and
disturbed by no creditor and en-.
shaved by no debt, shall sit amid
his teeming gardens and orchards
and vineyards and diaries and
barnyards and pitching his crops
in his own wisdom and growing
them in independence, making cot,
ton his surplus and selling it in
his own time in his chosen market,
and not at a masters bidding,
getting his pay in cash and not a
receipted mortgage that discharges
his debt but does not restore his
freedom then shall be breaking
the fullness of our day.

znAth,,eio Heart.

The use Of the term athletic heart"
has led to more misunderstanding
than probably any other one express
sion. Laymen or parents, provided they
are not of the medical profession, get
a picture from this expression which is
anything but correct. If they were
told that their boys thigh had increas-
ed half an inch in girth under the ex-
ercise that he had been doing in the
gymnasium they would be pleased, but
when they are told that the size of
his heart is increased they are at once
very much alarmed. Active participa-
ton in almost any sport which causes
the heart to beat more rapidly will
produce an increase of size of that
muscle as in any other muscle, and Il
certain amount Of this is unquestiona-
bly, natures normal and proper way
Of taking care of her economy. Some
people, it is true, believe that any en-
largement IS abnormal, but DR.. Mey-
Ian and most of the physicians who
have followed the athlete closely would
not agree with this.-Outing.

Poisons In Warfare.

There are many substances which
may be employed to poison Or asphyx-
late an enemy. either by tempering the
wind or by use III projectiles. Hydro
cyanic acid, known as prussic acid, is
so poisonous that a mere breath Of it
means instant death. Sulphuric an
hydride when brought in contact with
air combines rapidly with moisture alb
sorbed from the air, producing sui
phuric acid. Thrown in a bomb with
just explosive charge enough to dis
rupt the bomb and scatter the sui
phuric anhydride, the air for u large
space about the explosion would be at
once converted into a dense fog of sui
phuric acid. Liquid ammonia similar
~ employed would instantly so fill the
atmosphere with ammonia as to stran-
gle all persons in the immediate yicin-
ity.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Coiors and Heat.

In an attempt to illustrate graphi-
cally the relative values for summer
and winter wear of different colors in
dress materials an interesting expert
ment was recently conducted, says
Popular Mechanics. Four strips of
cloth made Of the same material and
weight, but Of different colors. were
placed on a cake Of ice and exposed to
the sun. The fabrics We're white, vel
low, red and black. The result show
ed in a striking way how white re-
fleets the suns rays. while black alb
serbs them.
The ice covered by the piece of
white cloth was not melted to any ap-
preciable degree during the test, that
under the yellow strip was slightly de-
pressed, a deep cut was formed be-
meath the red cloth and a groove ap-
proximately twice as deep as that Gov
cred by the latter was melted under
the black fabric.

WaIpoIe, Knight of Garter.

When Sir Robert Walpole was in
stalled knight of the garter in 1926 he
was the only commoner, with one ex-
ception, to whom the honor had been
given since the reign Of James 1. The
honor apparently was regarded as so
great that Walpole had to apologize for
his. audacity, which he did in this fash
ion: SIS ambition imputed to me? Why,
then, do I still continue a commoner-
I who refuse a white staff and a peer
age? I had, indeed, like to have for
gotten the little ornament about my
shoulders which gentlemen have so
repeatedly mentioned in terms Of sar-
castle. o%bloquy. But, surely, though
this may be regarded with envy or in
dignation in another place. it cannot
be supposed to raise any resentment in
this house, where many may be pleased
to e those honors which their anccs-
tors have Worn restored to the CON-
mons."-London Chronicle.

Trollope's Cigars.

Anthony Trollope prided himself on
having reduced the writing Of novels
and good novels-to something like O
mechanical process, dcvoting to the
work 81 many hours Il day and timing
himself to an output Of so many words
an hour. His advice to the literary
aspirant was to glue himself to his
seat and write, but he himself had an
other source of inspiration.
One wall Of his library was devoted
to rows of little cupboards or bins,
each with a separate glass door and
filled with cigars stacked across and
across like timber to allow free cir
culation Of air. A pointed stud in the
wood above the door indicated the bin
in use, and as soon as any one bin was
emptied the stud was removed to
above the next door and the empty re-
ceptacle reflled from the big chests
which Trollope obtained straight from
Havana.-LOnd0n Saturday Review.

Erratic Record In Golf.

The worlds record for u~nsteadiness
probably goes to q certain California
golfer. There was q team match sched-
uled between two clubs, each club pick
ing its five best men When the match
started it was discovered that only
four men had reported for one Of the
teams. The captain Of the team that
had a missing man saw standing by a
club member, with a handicap some
where around sixteen or eighteen
strokes. His average game was about
90. AS a rule he could be counted upon
to go out in so and come back in 4S.
That day, to his own Amusement and
to the confusion of his opponent. he
was out in "a, eleven strokes better
than he had ever played the course be-
fore for the first nine holes. This was
an upset, but nc worse than the upset
that followed, for, after being out in
"a, he was back in 60. He got his 81,
but as no 81 was ever got before

Glaciers In Nebraska.

Many Of the physical, features Of
eastern Nebraska were produced by
sheets of ice that invaded the region
during and after the earlier stages Of
the great ice age. At the opening Of
the glacial epoch the great Keewatin
glacier spread southwark and covered
large parts Of the Dakotas. Minnesota
and Iowa and extended thence into
eastern Nebraska, where it was prob
ably several hundred feet thick. This
first stage Of glaciation was brought
to q close by the melting of the ice in
a warmer interglacial time or stage
the Aftonian.
A remarkable assemblage of animals
invaded the region after the ice had
disappeared, and the bones and teeth
Of many Of these animals have been
found in the Aftonian deposits Of
western Iowa. The late Professor
Samuel Calvin identified the remains
of horses, camels, stays. elephants,
mastodons, mammoths and sloths.
When these animals lived in western
Iowa the climate there must have been

ICE CREAM

The standard for ice cream in the
State of North Dakota is that it shall
contain IA per cent of butter fat-that
is, 100 pounds of ice cream will con-
tain IA pounds of butter fat. This
is the standard adopted by the major
ity Of the states and the official stand
ard as given gy the former Standards
Committee.
Our North Dakota manufacturers
are in general living up to this re-
quirement without any serious trouble,
but manufacturers of ice cream from
outside of the state are Shipping to our
dealers ice cream that contains any
where from S to II per cent Of butter
fat and after heavily loaded with gal
atine.
Dealers are, therefore warned that
if they continue to handle this class
of ice cream they must expect to be
prosecuted. In ordering ice cream get
a guaranty that the product will eem=
ply with the North Dakota law and
contain IA per cent butter-fat.
Firms that have been sending ice
cream into the state containing con-
siderably less butter-fat than the
standard may be mentioned
j. G. Vanderbilt, St. Paul; Ives Ice
Cream Co., Minneapolis; Crescent
Creamery Co., st. Paul.
They have been repeatedly warned
against violating tn claw.
I quote from the letter from the
Crescent Creamery Co., under date Of
August 19th,-
"Our own tests show our product to
vary from 10 IL to IA per cent in but
ter-fat.
This is an admission on therir mart
that their product does not conform
with the requirements.
