Use Cinnamon Oil for Influenza.

Oil of cinnamon has a very favor. able effect on the temperature and shortens the cOnvalescence period, says Medical press. Patients who usually suffer from marked weakness for several days after an attack of influenza regain their strength very rapidly when treated with cinnamon oil, and are able to take up their oc- equations on the second or third day. Twelve drops of the oil are given in half a tumblerful of water, and the dose is repeated in one hour, then ten drops given regularly every two hours until the temperature has dropped to normal. When the fever has gone ten drops should be given three times a day during the following twenty four or fOrty-eight hours. When in- fuenza is thus treated from the very Outset-that is, within the first three or four hOurs-the temperature be- comes normal within twelve hours; if the treatment is begun later it may require twenty-fOur or thirty-six hours to obtain this result.

 "Yet the big thing in the world is happiness" he said simply, and went out, closing the door gently behind him.
 She stared at the ashes in the grate that once had been evidence of the quality of the old building, and the ashes seemed to symbolize more than she wished they did.
 ''He is right" she murmured to her. self, as she turned out the lights; "the big thing is happiness"
 It rained all that night, and the next day dawned gray, damp and forbid ding. She worked feverishly at the picture that represented success or failure-and the failure seemed to be looming large.
 In the evening she heard him re- turn. Her heart stopped as he passed her door and went on up the stairs. Usually he came in to make her & brief visit. She turned away to busy herself with Omething-anything.
 The. door opened suddenly and he stood before her-his old, impuIsive, bOyish self.
 'Well, I made fifty dollars today, from art!" he announced.
 She thrilled with the words. Then the turn of the tide had come foI him perhaps! A small beginning-iust the opening-and then

 Her castles of art tumbled about her ears. Decorations for a "dago ice cream parlOr!' She stared at him with wide eyes. Something in his face held her-sOmething deeply glowing in his eyes. She swayed a bit toward him.
 The full, deep voice of the man be lied the tenderly smiling boyish eyes, "Yes, fifty dOllars-and good job. Little girl. let's swap dreams. I'll swap my dream of being a Whistler or q Sargent for a home l know of, where skies are blue, mountains green and every man and woman friend. Will you swap your dream for mine and my love, till dreaming is done?"
 She felt suddenly weak. The dreari. ness of the worn, gray studio closed about her; the moving, quiet, manly tones sang in her ears and in her heart. She nodded.
 She was swept in his arms and held with strength that would not be denied.
 ''That fifty dollars will get us home, dearie. And now I'll propose as a lover should!"

TURNING RATS TO ACCOUNT
Japanese Authorities Anticipate sub- stantiaI Revenue From Leather ." Made From Hides of Pests.

In the neighborhoOd of AomOri, Ja. pan, the hides of squirrels are tanned and used as carpets, neckclOths and for other purposes. This has sug- gested to Doctor Hasegawa KiyOnari head of the Hasegawa hospital at Osaka, who is member of the Osaka municipal assembly, the possibility of turning to good account the hides of the numerous rats bought by the mu- nicipal authorities, in view of the great advance in the price of hides and leather. Doctor HaSegawa ap- preached the authorities with the pro- pOSal, which was favOrably received. They accordingly tanned the skins of two rats and sought the opinion of dealers as to what the leather would sell for.' The dealers estimated that the skin of one rat was worth 20 sen In its raw condition. The public health authorities are now deviSing special means of diSlnfecting and tanning rat skins.
 It Is estimated that a great sum could have been obtained by tanning the hides of One-third of the rots bought by the Osaka municipal -ou- thoritles during the last twenty years.

W. 6. 6. SIS WORK
 FOR NEGRO SOLDIERS
Twenty-Five Towns and Many Churches Cooperating - Ten Club Houses Already Built and Seven More Are Now Under Way.

For some reason a negro soldier can look lOnesOmer when he Is lone some than any one else in the world. For the love of heaven let's think of something we can do for him = The speaker was a War Camp Community ing camps months ago. Where his eyes then saw a bare stretch of prairie. with disconsolate looking negroes scat tered here and there, now stands spe- ciRl club for them under the auspices of the War Camp Community Service.
 Early in our present war history the need for special recreation centers for the negro troops in training camps be- came apparent all over the country. This need the War Camp Community Service saw, and as a result there are today ten clubs for these men in as many camp communities. There are seven more under way, while Newport News is planning her second. The in- tereBt of both white and colOred ele- ments in the communities near the camps has been aroused, and twenty i've towns now have special commit tees to carry on activities for the ne gro in uniform. Cooperating with the War Camp Community Service cOlOred churches in many camp cities have opened rest rooms for the negro sol diers when in town on leave.
 When one considers the tremendous number of negroes in service (the to- tAl called in the draft for i've days Tn June was 80OOOO) and that these men are leaving homes and families all over the United States to go to strange camps for their training special atten- don to their needs in the margin of dme from camp duties seems decided ly essential. There Is good reason for the negro soldier or sailor to look lOnesOmer than any cue in all the world" if there Is no provision made for his comfort in hours off duty.
 The largest of the negro War Camp Community Service clubs are located at Des MOines, Ia; Battle Creek, Mich. Louisville. Ky: ChilIicOthe, O.; Petersburg. Va. and Newport News, Va. In each one facilities similar to those found in clubs for enlisted white men are available. Also there is every encouragement for the negroes native musical gifts, and community sings, with banjo accompanies, are featured in all the clubs.
 Nowhere Is the tiner community spir- 1t which will result from war work in camp cities better illustrated than In the work now being done all over the country for the negroes. Much of It is done by the cooperation of white and cOlored people Jointly interested in rhe projects. And as for the results with the negro soldiers themselves re- mark of one gNest at the Negro Army Club at Des Moines Is eloquent. He had Just had a refreshing shower fol- lowing a game of pool and was ;hrn in vitsd to the clSh dance.

WANTS TO KNOW WHAT
HAS BECOME OF THE MONEY
Humphreys, Aug. %.

Humphreys, Aug. %.
Editor Reveille:
i would like to know the reason why
the managers and clerks Of the cleo
ton on August the Goth have not been
paid. The candidates were assessed ten
dollars each by the Executive Com
mittee to pay the expenses for holding
the election; what has become Of the
money! J. A. REGAIN
There is no law providing for the
payment Of election officers. A few
years ago candidates were assessed
sufficient sum TO pay such officers,
though there was no legal authority
for same. For the past few years
this work has been done just as the
executive committeeman give their
services, free Of charge. The amount
assessed against the candidates is to
defray such expenses as ticket print
ing, election stationery and few 9th
er incidentals. Where the candidate
is not announced in the local paper,
he is charged his prorata share Of the
cost of printing tickets. After these
expenses are paid, If there remains
a surplus out Of the amount assessed
against the candidates, it is returned
Az the expenses Of holding the elec-
tion in this county were small, most
oil the assessments win be returned TO
the candidates I'D. Reveille.

very important epoch In the history

Prof. Moore, travelling under the
auspices Of the National Committee
on the moral aims Of the war, stopped
off at the Port on Saturday last and
addressed the largest meeting that
has assembled in our court house for
a number Of years.
Figuratively speaking, the profess
sor pulled off his coat, rolled up his
sleeves and waded right in.
We have listened to many distin-
guished orators in our time--many Of
them of national reputation, but 70
none who could condcnse SO much in

His references to the causes that
brought on the present war, as OBJ
served by him at close range, bleeding
France with all it's population In
mourning, were especially interesting
and pathetic.
His advise to our people touching
the duties of the hour, respectfully. our
obligation to stand by the Red Cross
workers, were timely and evoked gen

creased effort In all war work, in the
future.

WANT WAR MADE ON
THE TOWN MOSQUITO

There is strong desire on the part
Of local residents for the authorities
to make war on the numerous mos
quitoes which infest the town. 1t is
claimed that when active steps were
taken to eliminate the pests several
years ago, the efforts were crowned
with marked success and the ranks Of
this enemy Of health and happiness
were materially thinned At present
no effort whatever is being made,
either BY the town or individuals, to
destroy the breeding places. The old
eisterns, chinas and pools Of water
are ideal places to breed the multi
tudes Of mosquitoes which are as bad
IN the lower part of town as we have
ever had them.

Board Of Aldermen take hold Of the
proposition aud do something to bring
relief to the peppered denizen.

Gradual Falling Back Over Fifty Mile
Front. British Have Crossed Old
Hindenbug Line.

Albert, Roye, ChauInes, Bray, No
Won. and several other important
towns. besides more hundred small
ar places, have fallen into the hands
AZ the French and British during the
past week.
At one place the old Hindenburg
line. where the Germans spent last
winter and which was declared inn
Dregnable, has been crossed to a depth
of two miles.
The present drive against the enemy
il over a front of fifty miles, no part
Of which the German forces have been
able to hold against the Allies. We
NAV saw that considerable more than
half of the territory captured from
the French since last March has been
retaken.
Since the beginning Of the allied
offensive, July 1st, 10000 enemy
prisoners have been captured and 1900
biz guns taken
On the whole, the situation is ex-
ceedingly encouraging, and it is now
practically certain that even the Ger
man war party has lost hope of win
ming the war. There seems to be a
marked decline in the fighting spirit
Of the enemy. They surrender at
every good opportunity, and it is
doubtful whether the German forces
will ever be able to organize another
offensive.
Generalization and general pes
simism, according to news leaking
through Switzerland and other neut-
raj countries, is possession the entire
population Of the two large central
powers.
The new m2n-power bill, drafting
men from 18 to 45 years, has pract-
ically passed both houses of congress,
and registering will probably be done
within thenext ten days. There is
much speculation over the disposition
Of the IS year olds, whether they will
be drafted into the army at once,
sent to school, or drawn after the
other ages have been exhausted Moth
ing has been given out officially on the
subject.

HOW OUR EXPORTS
HAVE GROWN 1
Instead Of Cotton Only, We Are Ship
ping Large Number Of Products.

A few years ago, the only thing
shipped from Claiborne county to 9TH
er markets was cotton The oil mill
shipped oil, hulls and meal, but these
were only by-products Of the one crop.
This crop was made at heavy cost,
because every thing which went into
its makingwas bought elsewhere and
shipped in. The laborer received only
a pittance, for the producer got SO
little after paying for the teams he
bought, the feed which came from the
west and the few implements he used,
there was but little with which to
pay the workman.
But there is material difference
now. Instead of the 15 to rs thouss
ands of bales of cotton which COM
posed our only crop, we are shipping
many things.
This year we will produce, probably,
5000 bales of cotton--about one-third
Of our former large crops The price
OF this cotton is more than three times
that OF the old crops, and the seed
VIII bring four or five times what it
used to-
The corn crop is almost a failure
but we will raise as much as we used
to when cotton was the great crop.
In addition to these crops, which
are worth more to us than they were
ten years ago, we are shipping cattle,
hogs, sheep, goats, hay, peas, oats,
clover and lespedeza seed, timber, ee-
dar posts, and many smaller things,
such as chickens, eggs, cream, etc.
The shipment of these things has
grown to large proportions, and in
the aggregate are probably worth as
much as the old cotton crop.
AS a result Of this decided change
in system Of farming, the whole coufl.
ty has grown much more prosperous,
and in a few years our farmers as
whole viii be as-independent as those
in the north and west
