VESTS EULoaY ON THE DOG

When Vest finished speaking. the jury after two minutes teliDeration, awarded the plaintiff $500. The full text of the speech follows
 Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend of q man has in this world may turn against him and become his en- emy. His son or daughter, that he has reared with loving care. may prove un- grateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A mans reputation may be sacrificed, in moment of ill con- sidered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with Us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles it's cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unseifish friend that a man can nave in this sel- fish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves un- grateful or treacherous, is his dog

The Select Committee Report

The report of the select committee of the senate on the nominations transmitted by Governor Camp bell is illogical irrelevant, much the sug- gestions while the court was consid ering the Campbell Hunt mandamus case, that the court should await the result of the contest pro- leedings. The contest is a matter with which the senate has TO more to do than the supreme court could have had. The senate has nothing to guide it but the judgment the supreme court, declaring MT Campbell to be the de facto governor invested with the powers of de jure governor His administration while it lasts should be subjected handicaps.
 The senate has only unofficial information that with of the recounted Hunt has made g gain of PA votes. Whether he will have gained or lost when the remaining 45,OOO votes covering period many have been recounted the senate can have no means of knowing. Still less it suppose that the supreme court, which will finally pass upon rulings the superior resulting in these gains for Hunt will sustain them.
 Every citizen as well as the members of the ate. has a right to register to the final may happen with the end of the in the superior court majority of citizens, believe, that when the last word has been spoken by the supreme court, Campbell will be governor and will close the term for which he elected.

 It was both sound and an unsound calculation. It was unsound in so far as it underrated MT. Asquith's influ- ence with the pubic. but it was sound in so far as it relied on the tempera- ment of MT. AsIuith. his notorious m difference to the press. his patience with obstruction and his dislike of side issues and personal controversies. It would have been easy for MT. Asquith to overthrow the news paper dictator. But he would have overthrown much else in the operation. The suppression of Lord Northcliffe would have been simple, but its con sequences would have been far-reach- ing, for throughout the critical period of 1915 it was an open secret that MT. Asquith's most powerful lieutenant, Mir. Lloyd George, had intimate rela- tions with Lord Northcliffe.

KEEP CANDY FROM CHILDREN Sweets Cause Early Decay of Teeth
 Dr. Harvey w. Wiley Says

Rear your children on whole wheat, corn meal, skinned milk and the Bible" said Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, chemist and fooG expert. to the mothers who attended his lecture at the Forsyth Dental Infirmary the other afternon. Today we are eat ing too much brand and too little bran,' he added
 "One flour is just as good as an- other and it is ridiculous to pay an extra dollar or two to get some par ticular brand" he continued. White flour regardless of brand and price. is a deviltalized and demineralized food product. They don't have whole. some foods on sale at the grocery stores because no one asks for them.
 There is only one food that yo,. can live upon alone and that is milk. If you mix whole wheat products with milk you can live forever. We have failed to realize what a splen- did food can be found in Indian corn meal We do not know how to live. Women are blindly following a vicious fashion in wearing high heeled stilts that ruin their health and make them unable to become mothers. The mothers Of this coun try are eating white bread, cake and ice cream and then expect their children to be born healthy.
 Candy never should be fed to chil- dren. The child does not have a sweet tooth until it is acquired by being fed sweet stuffs. No wonder it's teeth decay and fall out before maturity. Some women use malts and make every effort to put on flesh before motherhood. That is 1 bad. From the Boston Post
