Knew Value of Relaxation.

''How is it that you are able to do
so much more than other people?' ask
ed tired, nervous woman who stop
ped Mrs. PalIher for word at the
close of one VI her lectures.
Because" she answered, with tie
sudden gleam of q smile. II haven't
any nerves nor conscience, and my
husband says I haven't any back
bone"
1t vas true that she never wor
ricd. She had early learned to live
one day ut time, without Hooking
before and after" And no one knew
better than Alice Freeman Palmer the
renewing power of joy. She could
romp with some of her very small
friends in the half hour before an i'm
portant meeting; go for a walk or
ride along country lanes when q vex-
ing problem confronted her; or spend
a quiet evening by the fire reading
aloud from one Of her favorite po-
cts at the end of q busy day.-Mary

Equity.

Let the tears of the poor man find
in them more compassion, but more
justice, than the pleadings Of the rich.
Try and discover the truth, as well
among the promises and presents OF
the rich man as among the wailings
and opportunities Of the poor.
Where equity can and should have
place, charge net the rigor of the law
upon the delinquent, for the fame of
the righteous judge stands not great
er than that Of the merciful.
If perchance you should bend the
rod of justice, let it not be 18th the
weight of q bribe, but with that of
mercy.
When it should happen to thee to
judge the cause of some enemy OF
thine, turn thy mind away from thine
injury and set it on the truth of the
case.-Cervantes.

GLOOMY DAY HAS ITS USES
For One Thing, 1t Gives Man an op-
portunity to Mediate and Be
Strengthened.

A gloomy day now and then serves
q useful purpose. It enables fellow
to sit down and take stock of himself,
for there is something about the lower
ing clouds and dismal weather which
causes one to contemplate more seri-
ously the realities Of life, the Dayton
News observes.
And a gloomy day at this season, OF
ali gloomy daysl Sodden, sullen'
dreary! The gloom seems to hover
over and settle down upon one and
sink into his soul. The mind refuses
to run in cheerful channels. The very
muscles seem to relax and to rebel
when asked to Do 9 task. The blood
flows Slowly through the veins and the
nerves grow dull. At least, that is
the way it seems upon gloomy day
at this time of the year,
1t is pretty hard to think seriously
when the sun is shining. Life seems
to be q sort of q joke. The world
smiles and you smile with it, and all
Is fickleness. 1t is no time beneath the
smiling skies of q pleasant day to
mediate. But a gloomy day-what
are we on earth for? From whence
did we come? Whittier do we go? Is
it ell worth while2 Should we struggle
on, with the reward so small or end 1t
all? These are the questions that
come to the fellow who sits and gazes
out into the sullen air of a gloomy
day.
But the beauty Of it is, he answers
his own questions to his own satisfac-
ton, and arises from his place at the
window, renewed in strength and in
determination to do the right thing;
for he comes to understand the
beauty of these gloomy days, to value
them at their worth, and to know that
he who sits and meditates is profted
thereby.

Blind Mans Fine Memory.

In the later years of his life the
mathematician Euler was almost total
ly blind. Then, and probably earlier,
he carried in his memory Il table Of
the first six powers of "scries of na-
tural numbers up to 100" 1t is related
that on Cne occasion two Of his stu
dents attempted to calculate a con-
vergiEg series. AS they progressed
they found disagreement in their re-
suits. These differed ~ unit at the
fiftieth figure. The question was re-
ferred to Euler, who decided to make
the calculation. He did this mentally,
Rpd his result was found to be correct

The great political battle, in
Arkansas, just closed, has been a
peculiar one, in some respects.
1t has been conducted, by most
of the candidates, on paper-that
is to say-through advertising in
the newspapers and circulars.
The old way of campaigning of
having public speakings, where
each candidate would get up and
tell his story to the people, has
not manifested itself to any a.
farming extent in the campaign
just ended. The long range way
of fighting, through press and
circulars, may be best after all.
1t has one advantage, at least,
and that is it gives the absent
politician, who is off on duty, a
chance to be heard.

KEEP CHICKENS FREE FROM
LICE AND MITES.

If the best results are to be ex-
pected, hens must not be allowed
to become overrun with lice, or
the houses with mites. To rid
hens of lice, each one should be
treated with small pinches of
sodium fluorid which can be OBJ
tanned at most drug stores. If
this is not available, use some
good insect powder.
Mites are more troubleso me
and really more harmful than
lice. They may be eradicated
by few applications of kero-
sene or some of the coal tar pro-
duets which are sold for this
purpose.

In ordinary times the person
who eats meat more than once
a day risks his own health.
In these times when half of
Europe is Oh the verge of starva-
ton; when upwards of five mil
lions of men, women and chill
dren have yielded their lives to
hunger: and when the vitality
of almost twenty million more
has been weakened to an extent
that makes many of them practi-
cally useless as wage-earners,
present or future, the American
who eats more meat than neces.
sary is not patriot.
At this season of the year
when fresh vegetables and fruits
are coming into the markets,
when every day they are getting
cheaper, there should be no ex-
cuse for anybody in this country
to eat large quantity of meat.
Diet should be varied. The hot
season demands the consumption
of less meat and more vegetables
and fruits. Everybody should
eat more vegetables. Everybody
should use more milk. Salads
should be eaten.
"Meatless days and meals were
abolished sometime ago. The
necessity for saving Meat has
come again.
One of the best ways of sa wing
meat is to offer more vegetables,
in greater quantity, and at the
very lowest possible prices.
In most hotels and in many
restaurants there is practically
no profits in meats. Poultry has
now become scarce. 1t must be
conserved. Fish are plentiful
and at least one variety of fish
will be cheap in the city markets
every day.
We must have the hearty CO.
operation of every hotel and
restaurant in your State in this
matter and that QUICKLY.
We must keep full supplies of
food going to our soldiers and to
the ALLIES.
We are stalking everything in
everything in this War and we
must win it. One of our great
est weapons is Food.

Joe I. Robinson has a good lead
over Col. S. Brundidge as U. S.
Senator and Hon Sam Nj. Tay-
Tor is reelected as Congressman

Goodwin of the 18th Congression-
al Districts by large majorities.
Judge Turner Butler is re-elect-
ed rs Circuit Judge of the 10th
Judicial Circuit and E. G. Ham,
mock, Esq is nominated as
Chancellor of the Second Chan
Gerry District. The race for
Prosecuting Attorney of this
district between Judge J. w.
klmbro of this city, and j. r.
Wilson, Esq of Warren, is still
in doubt, with Judge Kimbro a.
bout 900 votes in the lead, with
Cleveland county to hear from.
1t is thought that 2. L. Neville,
OF McGehee, has defeated Hon.
Il. l. Collins, of Wilmar, for
Senator of this (the 17th) Sena-
torial District. Senator Collins
carried Drew county by over 300
