IL should be the aim of all business
interests i'm the South to encourage
cotton growers to raise abundant
foodstuiis Never again should this
section have To depend upon the West
for corn and meat. Indeed. it looks
as though all of the increased corn
production OF the United States must
como from the South. since the West
has apparently. for the time being a.
least. very nearly reached its limit in
corn production.

HAD KNOWLEDGE OF GERMS
Abundant Proof That Ancents Were
Aware of the Existence of Little
Demons of Disease

That the ancients knew the microbes
of diseases is impossible to imagine,
yet it is certain that many of them I'M
derstood that there We're such things.
DIR. Jonathan Wright of Pleasantville,
n. Y, quoted in the Scientific Monthly
from many Roman. Arabian and other
writer's extracts that prove this.
Varro and Columella. in the first
century after Chris, ascribed the dis
eases of Rome to little animals which
live in the swamps.
And the Egyptian and Assyrian GEN.
sers, thousands of years before Christ,
burned resinous drugs and let loose
the smoke of ethereal oils to exercise
the little demons of disease precisely
as our board of health doctors until
very recently fumigated our houses to
kill the germs of contagion. How eff
caeious either method may be Is nei-
Their here nor there, the essential fact
being that the ancients, without micro
scopes, had discovered the great truth
upon which modern medicine is based.

Horrifying GarqoyIes.

The destroyed cathedral at Reims
was noted for its gargoyle ornaments
and the strange use to which they were
put. Uncanny monsters supported ped
estals for angels and apostles. Often
the beasts We're horrible caricatures of
the saints they upheld. Sometimes
they were monks and nuns. One par
ticularly roguish brother had pursed
his lips in the face of an astonished
angel for centuries.
A conscientious gargoyle has duty
