NO. 1.
(The first of a series of IA articles
on The Home Garden in the South, "
which will apear daily in The Hat
tiesburg News.)
A garden of one-Quarter to one-half
acre is sufficient for an average family
and should produce enough vegetables
for use throughout the entire year.
This fact is brought out in a new
Farmers Bulletin entitled, 1.-THE Home
Garden In The South" which can be
had by applying to the United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. G.
One-fourth of an acre alone can be
made to supply a family of six, if
close attention is given to the rotation
and succession of crops, and inter
planting. Where land is plentiful it
is recommended that sufficient area
be set aside to allow part of the gar
den TO be planted to a soil-improving
crop each year.
The location of permanent crops,
such as asparagus, rhubarb, and small
fruits, should be carefully considered.
These crops should be placed at one
side, so they will not be in the way
when the garden is plowed. 1t is not
possible to give a specific scheme of
arrangement for garden that will
suit all requirements, but herewith is
a suggestive plan of half-acre garden
which the southern grower may find
helpful The order in which the
plants should appear, with suggestions
given as to what plants are best suit
ed as 'follow-up' crops, is given here
with. The garden as planned is 200
feet long and 10 feet wide. The veg
etables are planted in rows running
the length Of the garden.
Asparagus and Other Perennial Crops
Carrots, Parsnlps. Beets, Satisfy.
Lettuce, radishes, onion sets for
bunch onions followed by celery as
fall crop.
Onion seed for dry bulbs, followed
by celery as fall crop.
Early peas, followed By fall cabbage.
Second planting followed by fall cab
bage.

Together they carried the sleeping
girl out OF the room into a larger
apartment A single electric light was
burning on the top of square mirror
fixed upon an easel. Towards this
they carried the girl and laid her In aD
easy chair almost opposite to It.
''The battery is just on the left"
Laura whispered.
Quest nodded.

She turned away for q moment and
disappeared In the shadows. When
she returned. she carried a curved
band Of flexible steel. Quest took it
from her, attached it By means of

They watched Lenora intently.

firmly, your mind is full of one sub

chair by the Preside. She is toying
with her diamonds. Look again. She
lies there dead! Who was it entered

Preparations are completed for the re-

International Women's Congress,

character and the inmost thoughts Oh
the man who is down and out" he
didn't stay home and write within the
shelter of four walls. No, indeed.
He roamed the Latin quarter in search
of a down-at-heel, solitary, shabby fali-
ure. and he scrutinized his walk, the
way he held his head, the very shut
fie of his feet on the pavement. Then
Balzac went of with his own head
dropping dejectedly and his feet shut
fling along, for all the world the exact
impersonation of the shabby dereiict
he had Just encountered. For, just
as he believed that the mental atti-
tude produces the physical attitude.
conversely, he believed that the phys
ical attitude can produce the mental
one. Hence, through his wonderful
pen we have some of the most life
like character portrayals in the whole
course of fiction.

lar among certain damsels is certain

Moreover the thoughts which you have
are not only written on the face, but

at the theatre a group of girls kept
up a low murmur of conversation dur

his long gray sleeve over Hans bright
golden head.
A funny little long-legged sunbeam
tickled Hans nose and he sat straight
up, and there he was in his own boat,
floating close to the bank right by his
house. "Oh," cried he, how worried

house. But the Sandman was true to
his promise and Hans found her fast

One need not necessarily belong TO
the Christian Science denomination in
order to hold the belief that the hui
man mind is a tremendous influence
on the health of the human body. For
doctors have been advocating that
principle for many long day. And
how few people believe anything of
the sort. They regard physical health
as something entirely different and
disconnected from mental health, and
when perfectly logical sequence Of
events draws their attention to the
connection, they laugh skeptically and
refuse to admit the facts of the case.
BY merely looking at a person. we
can readily tell what his or her par
ticular mental attitude may be. The
immortal Balzac believed in this the
DRY so strongly that when he wished
to portray some special character in
his novels, he would walk the streets
of Paris for days, seeking a model
Then in some particular gait, or turn
of countenance, or manner of carriage,
he would find what he was looking for
and reproduce that gait, or turn of
or carriage, in his own
person until his mental attitude cor
responded with what his conception of
the models mental attitude might be.
For he was firmly convinced that the
and visible signs as manifest
ed physically are merely the express
sion of the soul within.
If Balzac wished to portray the

! certainly hers did-her whole figure
seemed to bristle with wrath, Merely
to sit behind her, one could tell how
angry she was.
Detection and melancholy are always
clearly expressed in the human figure
too. One doesn't need to observe the
face at all to learn that fact. The
back view of the depressed person is
generally quite enough!
Where the influence of mind over
matter is concerned, there are some
quite well-known occurrences which
never are questioned. For instance.
sudden fright will bring on a faint
sooner or later entirely undermine
the health. For worry Is a phase of
fear, and fear is destructive of health.
If doctors. for example, were afraid
of catching infectious illnesses, there
is little doubt that they would fall
victims to these complaints sooner
or later But not one doctor in thou
sand has this fear-hence their inn
munity.
The question of mind over matter
is greater than we can possibly real
ize The cheerful bedside visitor will
do more to tone up the system of the
invalid than all the tonics in the world.
and why? Because he produces a cor
respondingly cheerful attitude of mind
in the invalid and this will inevitably
react on the constitution.
If people had a firmer belief in the
influence of mind over mater, there
would be infinitely fewer illnesses and
troubles in the world today.
