And so it comes that first aid
to the injured is an important
proposition in this connection.
The burns and deeper wounds
caused by exploding powder are
likely to produce tetanus, result

lockjaw. The horrors OF death
from this cause are similar to
those produced by rabies,
wherein the patient conscious to

agonies.
Tetanus develops usually in
six to eight days after injury and
following this disease speeds to
quick conclusion. Therefore,
the time for effective treatment
is before tetanus develops. A
large part of the danger in the

The only reasonably certain
preventative, so far as has been

what physical precautions he or she
may take.
She may 60 to bed when the chick
ems do, and get up with the sun;
may diet vigorously, may take a
proper amount of daily exercise.
Nevertheless, so long as her mind is
filled with depressing thoughts. the
circulation of the blood will be i'm
paired and her eyes will consequent
ly be lacking in brightness.
On the other hand, the cultiva-
tion of favorable emotional states
hope, cheerfulnes, confidence, and
the like-has the effect of accelerat-
ing the blood's circulation.
This has been demonstrated with
in recent years by innumerable ex-
periments carried out in the physical
laboratories of universities and med
ical schools.
And with this increased rapidity
of circulation increased clearness
and brightness of eye are sure to
come.
Accordingly, the remedy to be
adopted by all who feel that their
eyes are not as bright as they should
be may be expressed in this simple
formula:
Avoid dissipation of all sorts lead
ing to excessive physical fatigue,
and avoid allowing your mind to
dwell on depressing ideas. Cultivate
cheerfulness, hopefulness, buoyancy
of spirit.
Remember always that BRIGHT
THOUGHTS MAKE BRIGHT EYES.

Every woman ought to know that
brightness of eyes is in direct pro-
portion to the rapidity with which
the blood circulates through the
veins.
Clear, bright eyes are always an
asset, especially in the war of en-
HANGING ones personal attractive
ness. This is so generally recognize
ed that some foolish women put a
drug into their eyes to give them a
sparkling quality.
By so doing they in the end de-
feat the purpose they have in view.
For the effect of the continued use
of this drug on their general sys>
tenn is such as to produce conditions
that decrease the limpidity of their
eyes, and even injure their own pow
er of vision.
They could simply and safely at
tain the eye brightness they crave by
bearing in mind, and acting on, the
principle stated above-namely,
that a good circulation of the blood
makes for lustrous eyes.
Everything which promotes the
circulation also promotes brightness
and clearness of the eye. Everything
which lowers the circulation deadens
the eye.
Excessive fatigue has this lower
ing effect, and so have such emo
tional states as grief, worry, fear,
despair, hatred envy, jealousy.
So true is this that person yield
ing habitually to such states cannot
possibly have bright eyes, no matter

MIR. DRANE IN THE
RACE TO STAY

In the last issue of Fred DeBerry's
paper we find the following editor
ial paragraph:
Twill Drane run for Congress
against Steve? Drane is a good man
for any position, but we hear it ru-
mored around that he will not run.
Sparkman, as chairman of the Riv-
ers and Harbors committee, is hard
to defeat. It's too early to make
prophesies as to the outcome of the
congressional campaign and besides
only Drane has announced. 1t is
not known whether Mr.. Sparkman
will run or not, although it is set
tied fact that many people are urg-
ing him to.
In reply to this the Telegram is
authorized to say that Mr.. Drane
will run for Congress from this dis
trict against Steve" or any one else
who may offer for the position. The
campaign is young yet, in fact, it
can hardly be said to have opened,
and there is no need to begin a can
vas at this early stage of the game,
the primaries being nearly year
away.
Mr.. Drane announced himself for
Congress only after the most careful
elaboration, and full survey of all
the known and probable factors in
the case. He was solicited to make
the race by prominent and influential
men from many parts of the district
who assured him of their support and
stated their belief that he could
make winning fight, and with this
kind of backing he sees no reason for
Withdrawing from the contest and he
will be in it to the finish.
Recently Mr.. Drane met with an
accident which resulted in broken
arm and this has kept him more or
less inactive, but in due season he
will begin the work of canvassing
the district, and from the informa-
tion which has come to him he is
greatly encouraged to believe that he
will be the nominee in the primaries
His friends and the public generally
may be assured that he will support
his candidacy with full vigor and
resolution to win and that there is
no basis for any rumor or suggestion
that he is even contemplating with
drawal from the contest.

Every city and town in this county
has its boy problem, and in an age
in which parental discipline has re-
Taxed to such an extent that it
hardly exists at all in perhaps ma
jority of instances and even where
there is some of it left it is too mild
to count as an effective corrective,
that problem is becoming serious
one. The criminal ranks will be
and are daily being recruited from
these boys who grow up without
being taught self-restraint or any
thing else necessary to good citizen
ship, and it is both amazing and
alarming to know how many OF
them are already thieves and have
little more knowledge of the moral
wrong and degradation of such con-
duct than four-footed animals. The
St. Petersburg Independent very
truly observes that in dealing with
boys the courts have failed to dis
tinguish between acts of depravity
and those of sheer joy of living, and
thinks that stiff fines imposed upon
these young thieves and hoodlums
is much more effective than dismis
sal with a lecture by the court
When the "old man" is made to pa!
such fines he realizes in concrete
fashion not to be lodged that il
would be money in his pocket if hi
taught his boy to be decent and re
spect the rights of others.

RELIEVES TRAMMELL WINNER

Palatka News: "A special mes
sage from Tallahassee on Tuesday
states that Gov. Park Trammell has
definitely announced his candidacy
for United States Senator to succeed
Senator N. B. Bryan Gov. Tram
NELL has been considering this mat
ter for some time and his final an
noupcement will occasion little in
the way of surprise. Except to ex-
press the opinion that it believes he
will be the successful candidate, the
News will have little to say at this
time concerning the announcement.
Governor Trammell is popular man
in Florida, popular in all sections OF
the state. In his race for the gov
ernorship three years ago he re-
ceived the largest majority ever
given a candidate for that high Of
flee in this state. 1t is said that
there was not a precinct in the en-
tire state that failed to give him
votes. Gov. Trammell is South
Florida man, and in his own county
of Polk, one of the most populous in
the state he has always received a
practically solid vote. He is young
man who has made statecraft his
life work and who has risen step by
stem to be our chief executive. The
Senate of the United States is the
next step; why should he not take
it? The people like him; people al
ways like clean, wholesome success
full men. In all his official acts
Park Trammell has given the weight
of his influence to the right on moral
questions. He has striven to do his
duty as he saw it. Since his visit
in Palatka last week number Of
people in this city have discussed
his possible candidacy for the SEN
ate, and every expression so far
heard by the News has been favor
able to him and the added opinion
that he would be an easy winner of
the race. In event of his election
Gov. Trammell would take his seat
in the Senate in March, 1917, fol-
| lowing his vacating the offic of gov
ernor in January.

Former Governor Slaton of Geor-

where he hopes to find the climate
much healthier than that of Atlanta
and the hoodlums not so pressing In

governor showed real backbone in
his disposition of the Frank case,
but his evident fear of the mob and
intercession for the rowdies after

Crookston in connection with the first
of a series Of monthly market days. 1t
was under the auspices of the Crook

success that next fall it will be carried
out on much larger scale.
The market day plan had been tried
in Crookston before for a fixed day in
the fall, but it is the purpose of the
commercial club to make it monthly
event in the future, with some special
feature for each event, such as the
colt show.
More than 1000 persons were at
tracted to the city and more than 1000
participated in a. big free lunch at the
armory. There was a tug-cf-war be-
tween the city and the country in
which the city was beaten. Prizes
were given for the best potatoes, cab

THOMPSON is SENTENCED
Volunteers to Go Before Grand

Minneapolis, Minn.-The whole

After Thompson pleaded guilty and
said that the full truth should be

That Thompson was not alone to
blame was the statement of his attor-

Minneapolis Driskell, who
has four times confessed to the muir
der of Miss Alice Matthews, was
found insane by three alienists who
examined the suspect before w. r.
Bates, court commissioner. Driskell,
the physicians said, was suffering
from monomania. He was committed
to the state hospital at Rochester fol-
lowing the verdict.
In making their decisions, Drs. T.
=. Quimby, l.. F.. Foote and L. M.
Crafts. who comprise the examining
board, secuted the idea that Driskell
had committed the Matthews murder.
They made their decision after ques-
! tioning the man for more than an
hour, mostly on the question of time.
His mother had stated that Alfred
had been at home on the night of
the murder until II p. m. Driskell,
In his story, insisted that he had met
the Matthew girl before that hour.
At the hearing Driskell's story was
more rambling than usual. He failed
to remember details that he had in
cluded in the original story of the
killing. When asked as to his ances-
tors, he insisted that he was direct
descendant of King Alfred the Great.
In explaining the verdict, DR.. Foote
said: ''Monomania is one of the most
difficult forms of insanity to detect.
Often the patient is perfectly normal
on all except one subject. Such is the
case with Driskell. He suffers from
the delusion that he is a murderer.
Often in cases of monomania the pa
tient forms the delusion that he is a
king. Driskell has explained logically
all the events that led up to the crime
he believes he committed"
