Cottonseed Meal Biscuits.

Sometime ago Mr.. A. II. Jackson,
we'll known freight agent of the
Georgia Railroad, brought to The
Chronicle some biscuits made from
selected cottonseed meal, and he
stated he was confident this product
of the South would eventually de-
velop into a generally used food.
And now comes Mr.. T.. A. Baum
garten, of S%chulenburg, Tex, who
declares that he has perfected a
plan after eight years experimenting
that makes the finest food possible
from cottonseed meal, using a silk
boiling cloth to prepare the meal
for general human consumption, and
he has the following to say on the
subject:
1t is the most palatable bread
known; it is also the most nourlsh-
ing bread-making material known,
and it's curative qualities are getting
better known every day. Thousands
are using it for all kinds of diabet-
|ic trouble with great results all over
the United States and in some
foreign countries. They are also
now having fine success with this
flour for the wasting diseases and a
great many other things. On &C
count of its ease of digestion and
it's great nourishment, it makes this
an ideal food for a great many all
ments, and l hope that you will
give this -four a thorough trial and
convince yourself of the fine bread
and cake it makes and also of it's
keeping qualities. 1t will not get
dry and hard, like the common
wheat -four products. This should
make the greatest food fol our arm
les and navy, and 90 per cent of
this flour added to 80 per cent of
wheat flour will make a balanced
ration and have as much nourish-
ment as wheat or eggs and is so
much easier to digest.
A person can do hard work with
this bread alone and fare much bet
ter than with most Of the other
foods. The country is still Sleep
ing in taking hold of this in any
great quantity as yet.
This pew food will probably de-
velop into a most satisfactory and
desirable diet, and it is the opinion
of most people that this will be the
case, especially if there is a small
quantity of wheat flour, corn meal
or rye mixed with the cottonseed
meal. Chronicle.

Marriage of Miss Agner and

to marry Mr.. ]. P. Holland OF
Greenwood and Miss Sallie Kate
Agner of the Grove church. Miss
Sallie Kate is the only daughter OF
Mr.. Sam Agner and has been the

There was quite nice little gath

IT have used my frs. bottle Of Martins

Some of the Good Things About Martins
Liver Medicine That Can'tb be Said About
Drugs Containing Nauseating Calomel

lightenment, modern physicians pre-.
scribe a vegetable laxative intsead of
a mineral me-. Such medicine as Mar
tins Liver Medicine, for instance, will
fulfill all the requirements of a laxa-
tive or purgative, acting effectively on
the liver and mildly on the bowels
witout the pain or discomfort which
accompanies use of calomel. G.
Martins Liver Medicine is one Of
the few absolutely guaranteed pre-
parations. If it does not give entire
satisfaction, the empty bottle may be
returned to the druggist and the SOC
will be cheerfully refunded. g..>s,e
Martins Liver Medicine is not only
pleasant in its action, but pleasant to
take. 1t is one Of Natures remedies,
restores the liver to normal action,
thereby guarding the health.
You ought to have a bottle of Mar

chest all the time. A, dose or two Of
it when you feel headachy or bilious
will stave off a spell of sickness.

Billy Sundays Work Lasting.

Those who are disposed to ques-
ton the evangelist, Billy Sunday,
have probably never given his work
thoughtful and impartial consider
alton. Even if there we're only a
few hundred genuine conversions,
instead of teeming thousands, he
should receive the cordial support
of Christian people. The follow
ing from the New York World,
concerning one life which was COM
pletely won under Sundays preach
ing, is interesting.
Hundreds of persons who
regularly attended the Billy Sunday
meetings in the Tabernacle uptown
will remember The Professor" a
tall, gaunt Individual, who, hope
lessly drunk, staggered down the
trail one night to take the evange-
lists hand and then fell fiat upon
his face in the sawdust.
This man had been an instruct
or in a prominent college in New
Jersey, but liquor had put him
down and out. He was the most
shocking specimen of dirt and tat
tiers and general helplessness that
ever presented himself for convers-
ion.
"Some of the personal workers
knelt in a circle about The Pro
fessor" and prayed with him. They
got him food and later clothing.
Then someone got him a job. In a
month he was an entirely rejuven-
ated person. He was clean, sober,
actually youthful looking, and he
had made good with his employers.
Among the persons who aided
in the redemption of The Profess
sor" was a sweet-faced woman in
her early thirties, who soon became
known to him and the other
personal workers" as The Angel"
She sat beside THE Professor" at
subsequent meetings; they prayed
together; they sang together from
the same hymn book.
And now, the World learned
yesterday THE Professor and
The Angel" are to be married.
The man has become again the
charming, brilliant fellow he was
fifteen years ago before he began to
drink heavily; and the woman is
proud to have her friends and rela-
tives know him. The wedding will
take place in a few weeks.
The World has the names of
both THE Professor" and THE
Angel" but it would scarcely be
fair to print them since he is to be-
gin a new life under the happiest of
| auspices

"The Harm in the Use of To-
bacco."

bacco."
The foregoing essay was writer
by little Eleanor Minis in the essay
contest conducted some time ago by
the w. G. T. U. and won the gole
medal offered by the State organl'
cation:
Tobacco is one of our deadlies
foes. 1t weakens the body in many
ways, it makes the smoker useless
1t makes his heart black and i'm
pure, which is called The Smok
er's Heart" The smoke coming
from cigarettes gets in the throat
and eyes of his companions and
causes sore throat and weak eyes.
1t hot only harms the body, but,
the tobacco gets on his hands and
fingers and has a very disagreeable
odor and looks bad.
In another way it harms the
smoker, he loses his job or never
gets one because the tobacco numbs
his brain and causes him to make
mistakes and he can't do his work
as fast as before he smoked.
Students do their work much bet
ter in school when they are non
smokers than when they are smok-
ers. They can't memorize anything
as we'll and they are very careless
and forgetful.
The chief of police of Sheboy.
gan, Wisconsin, fines every mar
who sells cigarettes to boys, the
fine is from twenty-five to n hun,
dred dollars.
One time there was a boy who
smoked cigarettes. He dreamed that
he was going through some dark
woods and some cigarettes came out
of the woods and took him to their
cave to kill him. He asked to
smoke once more. He did. When
the time was up, he started to cry
and awoke. His father had smell
ed the tobacco and was whipping
him.
Prof. LofHn sad," In a cigarette
there are five poisons, but in a good
cigar there is only one. In a ciga.
rette there is oil in the paper, oil of
nicotine, saltpeter, to preserve the
tobacco, opium, to make it mild
and oil in the favoriug."
One of the worst things in smok-
ing cigarettes is inhaling the smoke.
When a smoker breathes on a hand
kerchlef it leaves a brown stain, but
if you inhale the smoke and blow it
through the nostrils, no stain will
appear. .,,,
Learn to say No, and it will be
of more use to you than to read
latin. "-Spnrgeon.
The Tobacco Company of Ameri,
ca is sending cigarettes to China
for the people over there. They give
it away so the people will get in a
habit of it, and then they have to
buy it. Even the children three
and four years OF age, smoke.
The educators, athletes employ
ers, physicians, scientists, jurists,
publishers, and temperance workers
condemn the cigarette.
Edison. Ford, Carnegie and many
other great men, besides manufac-
turers and railroads, have closed
about two million positions to the
cigarette smoker.
Burbanks says that cigarettes
make boys useless, soulless, worth
less things.
Another bad thing about ciga-
rettes is that it creates a thirst for
drink and causes the smoker to
form other bad habits.
The most prominent publishers
will not advertise cigarettes or
whiskey.
"Ben" Lindsey, Judge Burke,
Judge Black and manyother promi-
nent ~jurists have agreed that the
cigarette has more TO do with max
ing a bad boy than any other cause.
Ford wrote a book called The
Little White Slaver'' which is the
cigarette, for when you smoke, you
become a slave to the cigarette.

PROTECTING FOOD SUPPLIES.
Lurking Strangers Should be Care
fully Watched.


Every few DAYS you read in some
newspaper about food products be-
ing burned. One day it is a storage
warehouse along the Atlantic port
docks. Next it is grain elevator in
the West. Then it is some carloads
of potatoes on lonely side tracks.
This thing was going on last year,
and the spies and plotters are at it
all the time.
The people who have food supplies
in their safe keeping have a serious
responsibility. A systematic effort is
being made by our enemies to des-
troy them. No matter how peaceful
a neighborhood, you can never tell
what lurking villain is hanging
around looking for a dark night and
favorable opportunities.
Food product warehouses should
be strictly guarded. Here is work
that the organizations of Home
Guards could do. If they are not
available, police drces should be
used for this purpose or special po-
lice created.
There is feeling among the spies
and plotters that the American peo-
pie are easy going, and if they are
caught they won't have to suffer
much. Germans would quickly
enough put under ground any one
caught in such acts. But we haven't
shot any spies yet, and there is a
feeling that we are too soft hearted
to do it. Wait until the American peo-
pie lose some of their soldier boys
over across. There will be a differ
ent sentiment against those that are
trying to prevent us from feeding
them.
This danger exists equally in the
big city, the quiet country village,
the Atlantic port where foods are
stored up, and the interior town
where grain is stored or cars stand
on side tracks. 1t is for everyone TO
protect these supplies, and lurking
strangers should be closely watched.
