tient to regain his health, assisted by
pure air and sunshine when possible.

BE Err.

BEEN.
The Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress
concluded that while whisky and
brandy made man crazy, beer tends
to make him stupid. Doctor Forel of
the University Of Zurich says: 1.-THE
drinking of beer has killed the ideals
and ethics and has produced an in
credible vulgarity." The reason for
the sottishness is that each pint of
beer contains small quantity of
pure alcohol, percentage of lupulin,
the active principle OF hops, which
acts very much like the poisonous
principle of Indian hemp. At one
time Indian hemp was used as a medi-
cine, but it had to be abandoned on
account of its varying and poisonous
characteristics. Doctor Delbruck, an
other authority, says that beer and
wine drinking countries such as
France, Germany, Belgium and Ba-
varia, are more alcohol soaked than
the whisky and brandy countries, and
states that the beer danger is much
greater than the spirit danger.

Prehistoric Canoe Found.

A prehistoric canoe has been found
at Loeb Kinellan, near Strathpeffer,
and has been presented to the Fort
Augustus museum. The canoe was
dug by its builder-what was he like,
we wonder 2-out of the trunk Of an
oak tree. 1t measures "a feet from
stem to stern. and is 2 feet 6 inches
wide at its broadcast part. In the
course of centuries portions of the
buried relic have rotted off, but the
bottom and the curves of bow and
stern are still In good preservation. 1t
was discovered lying FIVE feet below
the surface.

OUR SEEM UNABLE TO HURRY.

A little comparison of the time consumed by the board
that comes before that body with the time consumed by ny the
boards of supervisors of some neighboring counties, VIM IN
NADIA county, and at least serve to show that Grenada county
supervisors are unable to hurry. or, are Just not able 70 oispatcn

IF it is not taxing you too much I would appreciate it very
much to have you refer to your records and tell me how many
days each month your board of supervisors has been in session
this year"
The chancery clerk of TaIahatchie county stated that the
board of that county had been in session only two days each
month with the exception of August at which time the session
was Is days.

In Yalobusha county the sessions ran as follows: January,
May, June. October and November each 8 days. February

there was a session of Is days.
In Grenada county the record for this year shows that our
board was in session as follows: January, 6 days; February,
2 days; March, 5 days; April, a days; May. . DAYS; June, .
days; July, a days; August, ~ days; September. 4 days; Oc-
tober, 3 days; and November, S days. In comparing the time
the Grenada county board has remained in session with the
aforementioned counties, it must not be overlooked that al
of these counties have two separate court districts wnlcn woula
naturally enlarge the work to come before the supervisors. 1t
must not be overlooked. either. that the population OF these
counties exceed that of Grenada county approximately from
40 to 80 per cent, and that the number of square miles In these
several counties is also proportionately. larger than that OF Gre
NADIA county. 1t is therefore not unfair to assume that II Gre
NADIA county were as large in area and had the population OF
the largest one of these counties, ,Tallahatchie for example;
that cur board would have to ask legislative u congressional
sanction to the increase of the calendar months so that they
might conclude their labors. Yet in the face of these proiong-
ed sessions, the board has apparently not been able to keep
all their eyes open, otherwise contracts for roads IN excess OF
the first 100000 bond issue would not have been made and
the two subsequent bond issues would not have been provided
