Plant For a HANGING Basket.

Indoor gardeners will be interested
In watching this plant grow. 1t fol.
lows the plan Of the stra wberry in
sending out unners and starting new
growths at the end Of the stem. The
strawberry, however, has the earth to
establish its new growths. This In
door plant sends out the runners crop
ing for earth where there is none. It's
called the saxifrage.
1t is a ~favorite plant for hanging bas-
kets. A small tuft Of leaves develops
at the end of each vine. From this
tuft other unners are sent out. and
these In turn develop more tufts. By
this method the saxifrage keeps ON ex.
panding until the basket is covered
with a network OF vines and a blanket
of leaves.
The leaves, shaped like those of tha
geranium. are a reddish olive color.
veined In white. 1t requires ordinary
soil and a moderate amount of water
and shade. -Phlladelphf9 North Amer

Value Of vaoaNona.

Vacations, according to the New York
Medical Journal, are natures safety
valves for the relief Of the high pres
sure resulting from efficiency. Eficien-
cy demands that throughout working
hours all the faculties be taxed to the
utmost without waste Of material or
Of energy, but II properly directed it
aims at making an efficient man before
an efficient product. Therefore pro
duction may not exact that the maj
speed up beyond his endurance.
The recent application of efficiency
methods makes the vacation more than
eve necessary. "The vacation" says
the Medical Journal, should be the
nearest approach to the simple life. 1t
Is for this reason that the country, with
all its many Inconvenience, is so often
chosen for the place of vacation. The
vacation period allows for the absorb
ton and elimination OF the fatigue
products from the system accumulated
In the pressure period Of the work.
The longer the vacation, therefore, the
better the subsequent work"

Real Democracy.

Before Denmark consented to sell
the Danish West Indies to the United
States a plebiscite was held. ard the
electorate voted upon the question.
The people of the United States. how
ever, were never consulted az to wheth
er they desired to make the purchase.
The people of England vote directly
on national questions whenever parlia-
mcnt is dissolved, and the government
goes to the country" on nearly every
matter Of really vital import.
Many Americans fondly imagine that
the United States is the only real de
mocracy in the world. AS a matter of
fact. in Switzerland. Australia and
New Zealand government Is more di
rectly responsible to the people than In
the United States: Canada's govern
ment Is at least equally representative
as ours. while England. although no-li-
nally a constitutional monarchy. prob
ably is more democratic than the Unit
ed States.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Art and Mature.

Art is the revelation of man, and
not merely that, but likewise the reve-
latlon of nature speaking through man.
Art pre-exists In nature, and nature is
reproduced In art. AS vapors from
the ocean floating landward and dis
solved In rain are carried back in riv
ers to the ocean, SO thoughts and tho
semblances of things that fall, upon the
soul Of man In showers flow out again
in living streams of art and lose them
selves In the great ocean. which is ma
ture. Art and nature are not, then.
discordant, but ever tremendously
working In each other.-Longfellow's

Mildred Louise Talk q Interest to WOnen
As health is first aid to beauty this
story, told by Mildred Louise, beauty
specialist, Of Boston, Mass, is OF un-
usual interest.
81 can recommend no better health
giver than tonoline," said Mildred Lou
Use.
81 was for many months a victim
Of stomach trouble and nervousness.
had suffered terribly from pains that
followed eating. Headaches also would
add to my worries. Poor digestion
finally brought on nervousness.
"Relief came however, when took
the advice of several women who said,
Take tonoline.
"Not long after started the tonoline
treatment, my patrons began to remind
me OF the improvement inmy condition.
And because health is the quickest
way to beauty, the improvement was
particularly noticeable in my face.
"What tonoIine really did for me
cannot say am SO grateful that am
very willing to recommend tonoline
publicly"
Tonoline is purely vegetable prepare
ton which goes to the seat of common
lnaladies- stomach and kidney trouble.
Catarrhal affections OF the mncousmem.
branes, liver ailments and impurities Of
the blood--and quickly restores proper
action. Tonoline is being explained
daily to many people Ut Leesburg Drug
Co. and DR.. A L Scroggins, Smithville,
Ga.
Ndtice AS tonoline is a wonderful
flesh builder it should not be taken by
any one not wishing to increase his
weight 10 pounds or more. Although
many reports are received from those
who have been benefited by tonoline in
severe cases of stomach trouble and ner-
vous dyspepsia, chronic constipation,
etc.

lent rain aud thunderstorm accom-

a narrow strip east of town hail did
a considerable amount Of damage

stripping a great deal Of small fruit
and tender limbs from the cotton.
As far as known at present the
greatest amount of damage was
done on the farm Of j. q. Pruett,

great extent overcame the hail
damage, and has filed a long felt
want.
