Col. Henry o. Head, Jr., kindly
invited the scribe out to The Beeches
Sunday for touch of high living.
Mrs. Head and boys have gone to
Sherman, Texas, and the Colonel felt
like it would be an act of charity
to look after some of the stray sheep.
So he took us in and helped us to
spring chicken and strawberry
shortcake in a diningroom with it's
big east window of plate glass, beau
tiful tapestries and mahogany cas-
1ngs. What attracted us most be-
sides the eats was the large living
room extending the full width of the
building in front with a big rustic
fireplace of rough-stone finished fire
brick, the richly carved mahogany
center table one hundred and fifty
years old, the companion pieces of
furniture, the hangings, portrait
gallery and the complete effect of
comfort and luxury. Then the ex-
pansive porch in front with its mas
siye columns. This great country
home has twelve rooms and MANY
closets and was built of timber cut
from the farm on which it is located
great heavy oak and poplar wood
which entered into the frame work
and foundation, the superstructure
resting on a solid brick wall. This
beautiful home nestIes upon a shady
knoll of commanding oaks and
beeches, sloping in all directions in
the heart of a rich 7OO-acre farm,
occupied by Colonel Head and his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Geo. Eader, in
a residence close by. This is what
they call The Beeches, three miles
south of the city, and the scribe felt
like he had been transported for a
brief sojourn. Colonel Head has a
private experiment station on his
farm. He has eleven acres of sun
flowers and five of onions, and his
big wheat and cornfields and clover,
a little rape which looks to a man
from the boarding house like cab
bage, and, well-we woke up in the |

change where the editor had just re-
ceived a load of stovewood in ex-
change for ten years subscription.

YOUR HEALTH.

DON'T ENDANGER IT WITH CALoMEL.
1t is generally agreed by experts in
this country and Europe that Calomel
has very violent effect on the system.

the weakened condition following it.
LIv-VER-LAx is harmless vegetable
compound that is mild but effective
substitute for calomel. 1t has all THE
EFFECTIVENESS, BUT NOT THE EFFECT,
OF CALoMEL. Its splendid value has
brought it into such wide use that in
