clean mind as well as an unclean gas
trointestinal tract. And it does not
require such wonderful psychology to
understand that an unclean mind is an
abnormal mind or in common language
diseased mind. Likewise an unclean
gastrointestinal tract is an abnormal
one, at the same time a diseased part
OF the body, capable of INFINITE
HARM to every part of the body, pro-
ducing disease and its end product dis
solution-DEATH, just as the proven
bal rotten apple will spoil barrel.
Gluttony also aids in producing
wealth poverty as well as health Omen
tai and physically poverty. A bad
breath is not sign of wisdom. It is
an evidence of the worst type of pow
mental poverty, foolishness that
leads to physical poverty and purse
poverty.
Note the paradox: An unclean mind
will produce by gluttony an unclean
gastrointestinal tract will produce by
the body fluids an unclean mind. The
vicious cycle being established mental
and physical diseases functional as well
as organic follow, in accord with THE
HIGHEST LAW-the LAW OF Ma
TURE. These diseases or rather this
disease shows so many different symp-
toms that physicians are often baffied
as to the real cause which is obviously
necessary almost always to know in
order to effect a cure. And can the pa
tient who has been unconsciously pro-
ducing the damage readily find the
cause7 1t appears not, judging from
the failures of HOME REMEDIES,

The MEDICAL PROFESSION has
it's HANDS FULL to take care of the
diseases of the people in a sensible,
scientific and rational manner and the
medical profession devotes its life to
the cause of HEALTH, mental and
physical. Medical science recognizes
now that cancer is very probably due
to an abnormal MODE OF LIFE, or
arrangement of the vital forces. 1t
knows that appendicitis, gastritis,
pneumonia, ulcer of the stomach, dia-
betes, constipation and host of other
DISEASES" have their fonsset orr.

A Country of EARTHQUAKES.

Japan is peculiarly the victim Of ele-
mental forces. The only satisfaction
its people can derive from living In a
country which contains fifty-one active
volcanoes and has an average Of about
500 earthquake shocks yearly Is that
In all probability japan would never
have existed but for the seismic and
volcanic agency which has elevated
whole districts above the ocean by
means of repeated eruptions.

Construction of Bio GUNS,

The making Of a big gun involves as
much intricate work as the putting to-
gether Of a locomotive or a giant crane.
A twelve inch gun on board a battle
ship Is fifty feet in length and has an
extreme range Of twenty-five miles and
an effective range Of twelve miles.
There is a vast amount Of intricate
and delicate, trained workmanship
wanted in the finish of giant cannon.
For example, says a writer in the Mill
gate Monthly, the breech block has to
undergo eighteen or twenty machin-
ings. And all the medley Of mechan-
ism necessary to enable the ponderous
mass of ordnance to move to the right
or left or up or down at a touch from
the naval gunners is being built up to
gether at the same time as the work
proceeds On the gun itself. For some
Of the smaller guns no fewer than $50
machinings on $50 parts are necessary
before the weapon is ready for use.

Other Points in That

MN to remain there until He got ready
for him, and called him up higher. For
10 years, Prof. John W. Beverly fur
nished the brains to carry on the work,
hence when there was vacancy, the
white Board invited him to become
president, and believe me honey, he is
making some president. The school has
wonderfully increased in scholars, in
popularity, and is going right on up.
1 looked at all them young people
there preparing to be something in life,
them young people, getting ready to
serve God and humanity, them young
people getting some real education. 1
wanted to fall right in line myself, but
they thought was at little too old for
the job. I left the city then to go to
another place.
1 wonder if you have ever heard of
Mt. Meigs, Ala. Well, have been
there, and I am so glad that did go,
although 1 did not get to see it all,
because I did not get to the reform
atory, but 1 am going back. Leaving
Montgomery, I bought a ticket to
Merry, where 1 got off and found Rev.
D. Davis, pastor of the Baptist church
awaiting my arrival in his buggy, and
soon had me over to the Peoples Vii
lage School, Miss Georgia Washington,
a Hampton graduate, founder and pres
ident. Miss Washington greeted me,
and assured me that 1 was welcome,
and ushered me into the guest chamber,
where 1 was told that 1 could remain
as long as 1 desired. Now this old
Kansas farmer felt like shouting, but
for fear that he might excite the stu
dents, refrained from doing so.
1t is indeed beautiful place. Miss
Missouri Duncan, one of the teachers,
shook my lily black hands and told me
she was glad in the name of Misses
Maud E. Cameron, Esther Abrams,
Annie L. Johnson, and Mrs. Lula B.
Fisher, to make me welcome, also in
the name of the students, the COM
munity, and Miss Washington. 1 did
not know what to say, so l just turned
out a few big sounds. 1 thought would
express it in Latin, and you Latin
scholars may have to take down your
sign. 1 said:
"Seleribus, thankibus, foirbus thei-
bus welicombus, and Ierbus willibus
makibus myselibus homibus." 1 wish
you could have seen all them teachers
looking at me, and even the house cat
made it's flight, thinking I was too
educated to talk to it. 1t could not
understand just what 1 was saying,
and 1 was pleased to puzzle them
educated people. They had to look at
their big dictionary, but could not then
find what 1 had said, so 1 just con-
founded Webster and all them other
dictionary writers. .
Next found me on my way to see
Miss Cornelia Bowen, who is at the
head of another school and will have
to tell you about Miss Bowen, Miss
Thigpen, and others in another letter,
because 1 t tell it all in this one.
1 shall have to bring this letter to
a close, and my next letter will be from
Florida. 1 will be full of oranges when
1 write to you the next time.

Minstrel Show a Winner.

When the High school Athletic As.
sociation decided to give an entertain
ment for the amusement of the people
and for the purpose of filling in the
hole in its financial pocket, everybody
was eager to go because it was fore.
gone conclusion that il would be worth
going to.
Central hall was crowded, of course,
on Friday evening last, and the whole
program from beginning to end, was
completely satisfying to the audience.
Each number of the first part, as
published in the Expositor was more
than good, as evinced by the merited
applause. The second part consisted
of the minstrel show proper by ten
highly colored young gentlemen who
performed their parts and did their
stunts as well as any regularly organ
lied minstrel company.
The boys made good at both ends of
the proposition, entertainment and
finance, and are we'll satisfied with
their venture, having some seventy. five
dollars after expenses are paid.
A nice little dance after the show
finished up pleasant evening.

AS L understand your remarks, you

that have not been asked for, and

was asked by the Times Herald what
the statute was that provides that pri-
mary elections shall be held at least
twenty days before the election. My
opinion was general one, and did not
apply TO any particular case.

Good Roads Into Yale.

The work of hauling gravel for
building the good roads east of Yale
was finished on Monday. Commission
er Stevens, of Port Huron, informs the
Expositor that 400 yards of gravel
have been hauled and placed along the
highway at a cost of $l.07 per yard.
This figure includes dynamite used,
cost of hauling and price per yard for
the gravel. Many of our people were
surprised and were loath to believe
that it could be laid down on the road
side for such low price. The gravel
was taken from the Henry Dinner pit,
a distance of between three and four
miles of a haul. Notwithstanding all
these facts everybody was satisfied
hauling, etc. In the spring, work will
the road east from Yale. Later work
will start on the road west from this
city and $4,000 will be expended. We
then will have long stretch OF good
roads.
Our people may not know the fact
that supervisor, Norman B. Herbert,
has worked faithfully and untiringly
and deserves a great deal of credit in
securing the good roads into Yale. Of
course the county road commissioners
come in for their share, for through
them the money has been set aside for
this part of the county.
1t means considerable to have $4,000
spent in this section. New wagons
were purchased, also feed for the horses,
employment given to teamsters and
laboring men, and in fact everybody is
benefited.

Important Notice to the Farmers.

Don't lose any time. The seed corn
situation is critical. In Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Michigan, the Dakotas and
Northern Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska
very little of the corn matured last
year and is unfit for seed. All corn
growers should select the best matured
corn and test every ear before planting.
We have bulletins of the seed corn sit
uation by z. G. Holden, director of the
Agricultural Extension Department,
International Harvester Co., which ex-
plains fully how to test every ear be-
fore planting at cost of not more
than ten cents per acre. Kindly call
