The movement toward the creation
of the proposed county of Stone, from
parts of Forrest, Perry, Harrison and
George counties, which was launched
some months ago. gradually is taking
definite shape, and it is understood,
an effort will be MADE within the next
few days to have the legislature enact
a measure, creating the new county,
and calling for an election to be held
when the citizens in the area affected

Conflicting reports are being re-

southern part OF Forrest county, IN
that section which will be cut OIL and

Among the happy little folks that
are spending their mornings on the
beach at Newport this summer is little

year-old daughter of Countess GiZycka,

series of kidnapings in Europe after
the separation of her mother and ia

The couple separated after few
stormy years of marital unhapplness.
Then followed a series of sensational
kidnapings in Europe. First the count
kidnapped his daughter, then the
countess kidnapped her and finally
when the child came into her mothers
hands, she fed to America. Few chill
dren have had such an exciting career
as the little countess. At one time it
was through the efforts of Medill Nc
COrrnick that an order was obtained
from the car for the return of the
child to her mother. 1t is said that
the countess, the little girls mother.
lives in dread that her daughter may
be again kidnapped and taken to Eu-
rope. but the young lady seems to
have no foreboding and is noted for
her merry disposition and love of run.

There will always be lurking fear
in her heart, almost from day to day,
that he may meet some other woman
whose charms he will consider supe-
rior to hers. If she beholds his eyes

her sleeping jealousy is instantly
aroused, and he finds the jealousy of
sweetheart is nothing to what the
jealousy of wife can be.
Like wild ivy, it poisons all with
which it comes in contact and. though
you may apparently pull it up by the
roots and destroy it, there is al
ways a tiny fragment left in the soil

provocation.

When thousands of young men the
country over quit their jobs to aid the
cause of Uncle Sam, their sisters and
their sweethearts jumped into their
places to hold down their positions

move was a wise one is story yet

will wish to make bargain with him
that she may still hold that position

best he can.
The girl who discovers her value as
moneymaker is not apt to make q

independence will assert itself. She
will let Jack understand that she is

RACE COLORING DUE TO FOOD
Diet of Various Peoples Said to Be
Real Cause of the Difference in
Hue Of Skin.

Certain authorities hold that the pig
mentation of the races is due to feed
Ing. 1t is pointed out that in the ami
NAL world color is often determined
by food, and it is contended that by
chemical process the same results are
shown in the different human races.
According to this theory, the original
man was black, since his chief diet
must have been vegetation. Fruit and
vegetables contain manganates that
ally themselves with iron, constituting
clark brown combination"
Negroes who add meat and milk t.
their vegetable fare are never as dark
as those negroes who eat only vege-
tables.
Indians are red, it appears, because
they have absorbed for generations
haemoglobin, the red substance in the
blood of animals killed for food.
Mongols are yellow by reason of the
fact that they are descended from
dark fruit-eating races who penetrated
into the plains of Asia, became shep-
herds, and lived to great extent on
milk, which contains chlorine and has
a bleaching effect.
The Caucasians were another branch
who became still whittier by adding salt
to their dietary. Common salt is a
strong chloride and a powerful agent
in bleaching the skin. The effect can
be seen, it is declared, in the case of
negro children who have been reared
on "white" dietary. They are never
as black as their kindred who have
not abandoned vegetarianiSm.

In glancing over the lists of those

Where does this success come from,
