Difference In compIexions.

The difference in the compilations OF
people Is due to the varying amounts
Of pigment or coloring materials in
the cells Of the skin. Very light peo
pie have very little pigment: very dark
people. those with dark eyes and black
hair. have n great deal of this coloring
material in their cells. \ great many
people are neither light nor very dark
They have less than the dark complex
Toned people and more than the light
complexioned people. When the hair
turns gray 1t is because the pigment
has disappeared. As this Is due 70 the
loss Of this coloring material. dark com
plexioned people turn gray sooner than
light complexioned people, The struc
ture of the skin showing how these
cell are made in layers can he seen by
examining the skin with a microscope.

''Count Bismark recently said: sThe
longer am engaged in politics the less
becomes my confidence in human calcu-

grandfather Bismark made Emperor Of
Germany, has doubtless experienced
some shocks to his human calculations
in late years. Soon after he assembled
the throne he dismissed Bismark from
the premiership and began the career
which eliminated in the present war
The Kaiser hardly expected to fight the
aggregation of nations that have joined
the crusade against Germany. Maybe
he made mistake in thinking he knew
better than old Bismark what was good
for his house; maybe not. Who knows
It is only human calculation.]
"a writer in Winston County, Miss.
calculates the expenses on q bale Of
cotton, after it is packed, and by the
time it is sold, at s46.625. About al
much as once was the price OF a bale.
with the price of cotton as high as x
cents per pound last year and with the
indications pointing to high prices fol
this year, our farmers are preparing te
plant another great acreage to cotton
with not wise economy in cost of pro-
duction. If cotton continues at last
years prices the cost of producing il
will also advance. Should there be q
slump in the price of the 1917 crop which
will have been raised at greater cost
than that of the years of low price cot
ton, the distress will be very keen in the
South. And that is the Banners reason
for urging the people to raise the 1911
cotton crop as though they expected te
sell it at s or 10 cents per pound. Nobody
will be hurt much in that case.
