Threatened with disaster from the

ish Peanut It is no new crop in
Georgia, for in 1889 there were over
e hundred thousand acres grown in
The state. IN 1893 the acreage had
increased to one hundred and sixty
thousand acres, with valuation of
two and a half million dollars, Geor-
S;a in 1909 ranked second among the
states in the acreage Of peanuts; and
third IN production and value.

SALONIKo CAMPAIGN CALLED
 BlUNDER BY LONDON TIMES

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The Daily Mail in a long editorial this morning condemn ing the Saloniki expedition. and. in ef feet. demanding it's recall, declares that the expedition was nOtoriously planned by civilians in defiance of all military traditions.
 ''It was too late and too weak 10 save Serbia" the editorial says. It has been unable to assist Rumania an dcannot harm the invaders there because no modern army can traverse the roadless mountains between Sa. lonild and Rumania."
 The Daily Mail contends that if the troops diverted to Saloniki had been on the western front in 1916 they might well have turned the scale there and that Rumania then never would have been invaded
 "The expedition" continues the newspaper, 'is a continual strain on resources-men, shipping and muni- tions- By keeping the Balkan force too large for defense and too weak for attack We seem to he playing the enemy's game. A much smaller force would suffice to hold Saloniki, if that is desirable.

An Effective Laxative
 For Growing Children
DIR. cAIDWELl'S SYRUP PEPSlN HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS
 A FAMILY REMEDY.

In children the slightest irregularity of the bowels has a tendency to dis turb the entire digestive system, and unless promptly remedied invites seri- ous illness. The experienced mother knows that by training her children to regularity in this respect. and when occasion arises administering a mild laxative. she will have little need for the doctors services.
 Mrs. Leo Weigand, 3251 Central Ave, N. S. Pittsburg. Pa, whose two boys, Frank and Joseph, are shown in the illustration, writes that she has found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a most effective laxative, not only for the children but also for herself. and that she will always keep it in the house to use when needed. Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin Is combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts easily and naturally. without griping or other pain or discomfort. It is pleasant to the taste so that chil- dren like it, and is equally effective on the strongest constitution.

An Interesting Case.

An interesting law suit from Berkeley
county was taken up in The United States
Court at Wheeling few days ago, when
the case OF Stephen Z Hastings against
Daisy Grace Douglass was considered
by Judge Dayton. Attorney Stuart f..
Walker represented the defendant. while
Attorney Nelson Hubbard appeared for
the plaintiffs. The case is the ouigroWih
of the death OF Simon p. Douglass, OF
Martinsburg, wherein the plaintiffs, who
are relatives, ask that they receive a
share OF The estate
Shortly after his marriage, Douglass
died intestate. His wife, Daisy Grace
Bner Douglass, in the county court Of
Berkeley couaiy. qualified as admins
tratrix Later the plaintiffs contested
and asked that the appointment be set
aside, but the court confirmed the ap-
pointment. The case was then appealed
TO the federal courts, where The plaintiffs
declared that the late Simon p. Douglass
was insane and intoxicated when the
marriage was performed that The mar
riage was not legal, and asked that the
marriage be annuled and that a receiver
be appointed to collect the rents Of the
property, pay taxes and take care OF the
money that was coming in.
Judge Dayton. after hearing the argu-
ments from both sides. stated that the
United States Supreme Court ruled that
the federal court had no jurisdiction in
the appointing Of an administrator after
the county couthad ordered the admins
tratrix appointed. and whether the county
courts order was legal or illegal, it can
not be changed in federal court The
case was taken under consideration and
the application for receiver and adminiS-
traitor 10 take care Of the properties was
refused, and the application TO dismiss
the case by The defendant was taken
under consideration.

The Sensation Of Pain.

Where do you feel The pain asks the
doctor. In my finger, iu my ear, in my
foot, the sufferer replies. and il the ply
sician told him he did not feel it there,
but in his head. the average man would
doubt the Doctors sanity. Yet the doc
tor would be right.
In an address at the University OF
California Professor q. n. Parker Of
Harvard told the students that we have
been obliged to give up the idea that
sensations are spread throughout our
bodies, for persons who have lost limb
often feel sensations that seem to come
from the missing member.
"Our sensations" said Professor Par
ker, "are not located in the periphersl
parts affected, but in the central nervous
system, and within that portion of il
known as the cerebral cohex." This is
the outer layer Of gray matter Of the
brain. One may lose an arm. yet have
the sensation OF pain in the hand, but if q
small piece Of that particular part OF The
brain 10 which run The sensory nerves
from the arm be removed, one will never
again feel anything in that arm, not even
! if the hand be placed in the fire.

Over The Hill.

What is the lure that leads an habltual
wanderer from place TO place and from
country to country ? Whatever the spell
is. il not only deceives him as TO what
lies just over the hill ahead, but it also
changes the face OF things that have been
left behind. Such, at least, was the testi-
mony Of certain quaint old Kentucky
mountaineer.
A mission teacher was coming home
from school one day when he saw a
wagon drawn by two wornout white
mules with their harness tied with calico
and bits OF binder twine draw up IL front
OF an empty cabin at the foot OF a hill. In
the wagon were an old man and an old
woman with a black sunbonnet. They
had two or three dry-goods boxes and a
feather bed, and hanging from the back
of the wagon were two battered tin
buckets. Apparently they were about
10 move into the empty cabin.
One day, week later, he passed the
cabin again and stopped TO ask the old
lady, who was sitting alphabetically on
the front step, if she were going to plant
a garden. He noticed that they had not
yet entirely unIoaded their wagon.
"Tain't no use," she said, shaking
her head. "l've been putting in radShes
and lettuceS all over these here hills for
five years, and amt never tasted one OF
'em. Ever since Sam wanted to know
what was over that wander mountain, we
amt stayed in one place long enough for
anything 10 grow"
The next day, as the teacher came
from school, he found the old man lean
ing over the fence looking across the
distant mountain with far-away exrreS-
sion IN his eyes.
"Are you thinking about moving ?" he
asked.
"Yes," said the old man. This coun-
try amt no-ways suited to me. CAL
culate we'll be movin' on before long.
useter live way down in Tennessee, and
got along fine there, and the folks just
suited me. But after while il seemed
TO me just got kinda tired OF 'em, ard
wanted to see different lookin' folks. So
that spring we moved cross the line to
Virginny.
"But the folks didn't seem natural, and
the next spring we just moved on, and
the spring after that we moved again
and then for four or five years we moved
whenever the notion took us. Finally
me and Malinda just thought if we could
get back TO Tennessee we would stay
there the rest of our days. So Malinda
and me just loa ed up and went back to
our folks"
He drew deep breath and looked long
J inely off TO the north. But, do you
know, things weren't al all like they USE
ter be; they didn't look the same Why
them people looked plumb hateful TO me
So Malinda and me lit out again thi:
spring and a fclIer was tellin' NE thi:
mornin' about a valley on tother side o
Blue Ridge yander where everything:
plumb fine, and reckon we'll be moVin
in day or two"
