THE SULKERS

The worlds too busy to pause
To listen to a winners cause
1t has no time to stop and pet
The sulker in peevish fret
Who walls he'll neither work nor
fEE tplay f. ~
Because things haven't gone his way
The world keeps plodding right along
aAnd gEgS rs favors right or wrong
To all whofhave the grit to work
Regardless of the fool or shirk
The world says this to every man:
go out and do the best you can."
The worlds too busy to implore
With any one to try once more,
Twill help him if he wants to rise,
And boost him if he bravely tries,,
And shows determination grim,
But it won't stop to baby him.
The world is occupied with men
Who fall but quickly rise again;
But those who. whine because they're
/ hit,
And step aside to sulk bit
Are doomed some day. to wake and finC
The world has left them far behind.

without spilling; the amount of vapor
given off is slight and the amount of
inflammable material in it is small.
Gasolene fires may be extinguished
by smothering with wet rags, woolen
cloth, sand, earth or ashes, if the
amount of the fluid involved is small
If the amount be large, little water
spreads it, but a deluge of water
smothers it. 1t is particularly import
ant that any can or tank from which
burning gasolene is boiling or flowing
should be cooled with water to lessen
the amount of vapor given off.

HOSPITAL NEARs COMPLETION

According to present estimates, the
new Homeopathic Hospital at The
Ohio State University will be complet-
ed by August Is, although it is possi-
BILE that the work may be delayed two
or three weeks. To defray the cost of
the building $4,000 was given to the
University by the trustees of the
Cleveland Pulte Medical College and
$4,000 by the trustees of the Pulte
Medical College of Cincinnati and the
balance by The Ohio State University.
"There will be 81 beds, as we'll as
X-ray and clinical laboratories. The
hospital is fully equipped for clinical
teaching purposes, with operating, eye
ear, nose and throat rooms, clinical
lecture-rooms and laboratories for
clinical diagnosis and X-ray," said DR.

STATE ECONOMY
AND EFFICIENCY

Carrying out the plan of the ad-
ministration of Governor Willis to eff
feet efficiency and economy in all de-
partments, the State Civil Service
Commission and State Industrial Com
mission have heard the report of the
firm of Ernst & Ernst, Cleveland ac-
countants, who, after a survey of the
Industrial Commission, which was es-
tablished by Governor Cox, recon-
mend an annual saving of $4,000.
This will be accomplished by various
economies and consolidation of certain
branches of work which were created
by the preceding administration in or
der to make places for friends of Cox,
many of whom are still on the State
payroll, due to the blanket Civil Ser
vice program of the former COVER
nor. Additional surveys are in pro-
gress, all under direction of Cover
nor Willis.

Stiff knees, aching limbs, lame back
make life burden. If you suffer from
rheumatism, gout, lumbago, neuralgia,
get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment, the

the apple of accomplishment turns to
the ashes of dissolution. The brilliant
mind becomes clouded, the steady
hand is no longer accurate, the eye
which once gazed fearlessly on the
whole world is dimmed and it is not
long before the final break up occurs.
All of this was entirely preventable.
Other things being equal it is the
man who leads the well-balanced life
who lasts the longest, whose work to
the end is uniformly the best, he who
neither over-works nor over-plays,
neither over-eats, over-drinks, nor
over-sleeps, he who maintains stand
ard of simple healthy diet in moder-
alton, who offsets mental work with
physical recreation, who is as honest
with his own body as he is with his
own business. When success comes to
sucn one his physical and mental
condition is such that he can enjoy
in peace of mind and contempment of
booy the fruits of his labors.
The regulations of U. S. Public
Health Service state: ct is the duty
of officers to maintain their physical
as well as their professional fitness
To this end they shall be allowed time
for recreation and study whenever
their official duties will permit" If
the Government regards it as essen
tial that it's sanitary experts shall be
safeguarded in this way, is it not
equally important to every sitizer
that he similarly maintain a high
standard of physical integrity?

MacOn.-A bold attempt was made
on the night Of Jan. II to enter the
vaults Of the Merchants & Farmers
Bank here. Gaining entrance into the
building from the coal cellar, the yegg.
men went to work In the presidents
room, adjoining the main office, on the
door to the safety deposit vault. From
that they would have had no trouble
in getting into the money vault, but
would then have had g strong modern
safe between them and any money.
They burned a deep hole in the vault
door, but evidently were interrupted by
the bank j%anitor, who arrived at 5
o'clock in the morning and found the
room warn and the vault door hot to
the touch. An electric platinum needle
vas supposedly used.
The thieves got nothing. The only
loss Is damage to the vault and furni-
ture, and this is covered by insurance.
The bank Is one Of the largest in East
Mississippi and had just published an
annual statement showing much cash

ALCOHOL AND INSANITY.

Tho seeming Indifference Of the
public and the authorities appears in,
comprehensive when it Is considered
what havoc Is wrought by alcohol. We
spend millions OF dollars annually to
stamp out and protect the public from
infectious diseases, yet the harm done
by alcohol is infinitely greater than
that caused by all the infectious dis
eases put together. In our annual ad.
missions to Bellevue hospital OF over
5000 patients Gin the wards for mental
dlseases) moro than ten per cent were
suffering from insanities due directly
to alcohol, and in more than forty per
cent alcohol had played a most impor-
tant part in the causation of tho In
sanity. 1t seems to me that it would
be tho greatest aid to humanity II
measures might be taken to reduce
the consumption Of this poison to a
minimum, and to provide proper cura-
tive institutions for those who have
formed a habit but have not passed
the curative stage into n Of com
plete mental and physical degenera-
ton. Such an institution should be
custodial as well as educational. In
such institutions many will find re.
covery, while, for those who do not,
proper restrictions will prevent their
leading a life of crime."-Dr. NJ. S.

these words:
Il am bound to believe, on the evil

TO some extent a menace to you. II
you do this, l am bound to believe in
the light OF what science has re-
vealed;
81. That you are tangibly threaten
ing the physical structures Of your
stomach. your liver and kidneys, your
heart. your blood vessels. your nerves,
and brain;
"2. That you are uneQuivocally de.
creasing your capacity for working In
any field, be 1t physical, intellectual
or artistic.
"3. That you are In some measure
lowering the grade OF your mind, dull
ing your higher esthetic sense, and
taking the finer edge off your morals.

Planter Murdered and Home Burned

su'lS' "A'NS'Vo ANU T1SuIV ou''OAs
Aberdeen.-A pair Of brass knucks
and a gold watch have led the authori-
ties here to believe that Walter L..
Hammond, a prominent planter of this
place, was foully murdered and his
house burned to the ground to
the crime. Hammond's body was found
in the smoking ruins of his beautiful
country home. The brass knucks were
found heal the body and his gold watch
was found near the front gate. 1t is
believed that robbery was the motive
for the deed.
Hammond's house was discovered
afire about 4 o'clock in the morning by
some negro tenants on the place. Ell
forts to stop the flames were futile. "a
coroner's jury returned a verdict that
the unfortunate man met death at the
hands Of unknown parties.
Hammond was one of the most pop

and citizens OF Monroe and Chickssaw

crime.
