MUST THROW OFF PoIsoNs
All Living Things Suffer If They Do
Not Obey lnexorable Law
OF Nature.

LtTins things are constantly throw
ing afe materials which, unless re-
moved. will act as poisons. Crops
Must be rotated. because the soil con-
ditions produced by any one crop pre-
vents the development of the same
kind In immediate succession.
The same thing is true Of the hui
man body. 1t is constantly throwing
off, through the skin and lungs, mate
rails which must be removed in order
that the body may maintain it's vigor
and health. The quality of air we
breathe and that envelopes our bodies
determines in large measure our phys
ical, intellectual and emotional condi-
lions and activities. The best air for
the body is that which is cool, dry and
kept constantly in motion. If
When sleeping. the air should be
kept in circulation as much as posi-
BILE, although one should not sleep In
draft. Fatigue is a poison which is
thrown off by sleep and the sleep, to
do what is required of it, should be
quiet and restful. =,

HAVE ONLY ALLOTTED SPAN
Death of Trout, Although at Advanced
Age, Disproyes Theory Which
Seems Absurd.

An ancient controversy has been re-
vivcd by the published story Of the
death in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, OF
a trout which for 20 years had sur
yiyed in a well.
The fish was caught in an adjoining
stream-the River Evan, tributary
of the Annan4-near Moffat, and~was
placed in a well formed in burn ad-
iacent to a remote railway signal box
few miles north of Beattock, on the
Caledonian main line. The signalman
who at the time was in charge of the
cabin took lively interest in the fish,
as did also various engine drivers and
other railway workers on that section
of the line, when intervals permitted
of their visiting the aquarium" with
its solitary occupant. The trout grad
ually became quite tame. and decile,
and was accustomed to swim boldly
to the edge of the well to receive tit
bits from visitors in the form of worms
or insects suitable to its appetite.
1t is still argued by some authorities
that unless some accident befalls him,
a trout lives on indefinitely.
Opponents of that theory find sup
port in the account Of the death of the
scotch trout for their opinion that all
hsb even the Inanah ni.s- az thaz piiDcely
salmon or trout class, have their ap-
Dointed span of life. Z 1880

VII HIS. SECOND. BEST BED"7
Writer Feels Called On to Criticize
Shakespeare for Provision Made
in His Will.

& IL
We are indebted to an English pub
LEGATION for copy of the last will and
testament of the late William Shake
speare. In the course of this docu-
ment, we observe the following SEN
tence:
81 gyve onto my wief my second best
bed with the furniture"
We have no desire to find fault with
the successful poet and dramatist Of
Stratford for this apparent discrimina-
ton against the Widow Shakespeare.
What disposition he made Of his first
best bed is q matter that is not re-
vealed by the copy of the will of the
versatile author whose last testament
is reported in the columns Of our alert
London contemporary. However, we
don't think Mr.. S. showed just the
right spirit in gyveing onto his wief his
second best bed. O, why did he not
gyve onto her his first bed, or his tee
$potte or his punche bole with the gilt
butterflies, or his faverytte wigge, OF
|. his safctie razure, or fountain penne, or
bicycle-anything, in fact, but his sec,
ontl, best bed? :tsufr@
No doubt Mr. Shakespeare had gone
to bed with his boots on many Satur.
day night in that very second best bed,
and yet, hallowed as it was by such
memories, one cannot but feel that the
widow was treated unfairly. Perhaps
Wills folks Influenced him. AS Co
writer we have only the highest regard
and esteem for him. But we don't
think lie acted right about friend wief.

much of its home" atmosphere

approaching famine to buy and gar

bow much was in those storehouses,
and relics of those times have been
urearthed, giving evidence that the
amount stored in each place was care
fully recorded, showing. that Joseph
was man of careful and methodical
business.
But tile important and significant
fact is that Joseph secured posses
sion of all the food to provide for a
famine he had predicted. Joseph was
WISE. He cornered the corn and held
on to it, so that when the famine

He haG all the corn and other food

fnr as Canaan, the land from which
nc had been sold into slavery by
his brothers, and yet he received his

Worlds Debt to Scotsmer,

q The steam-engine is Scotland's chief,
though not her only, contribution to
the material progress Of the world.
Watt was its inventor, we might al
most write creator. so multiform were
the successive steps. Symington by
the steamship stretched one arm Of it
over the water. Stephenson by the
locomotive stretched the other over
the land. Thus was the world brought
under it's sway, and conditions of hui
man life transformed. Watt and Sym
ington were born in Scotland within
few miles Of each other. -. The
Watt engine appeared in 1882, the
steamship in 1901; the locomotive
thirteen years later, in 1914. Thus

to the. farmers of the State.
The extension Division in coordin-1
alton with it's county agents has
organized a number of ditching ma
Ieh1ne companies throughout the
State to make available q cheap and
deficient means whereby farmers can
get their ditching work done. These
Iditching machines are solving the
labor problems and are making it Pc
IibIe for the farmers of the State to
lay thousands of feet of tile. In two
d counties of the State alone over one
half million feet of tile were laid in
,-rthe last year and half as a result OF
: one of these machines. Farmers int
crested in securing the services OF
/ one of these ditching machines or
: needing advice on drainage should
| consult their county agent, or write
! to the agricultural engineer, Blacks
burg, Virginia.
/ Now is tht logical time to make
5 plans for the drainage of those wet
i places on the farm. Every farmer real
ICES the need Of drainage, but many
put off the work from year to year,
making excuse that 81 will do it next
year., and know that they are losing
each year by putting off this import
ant work. Other farmers do not tile
because they are paying for theil
farms and feel that they cannot go in
} dept any more before the farm is paid
for: dut they should consider this
, fact their money is costing them from
t five to six percent. The most conser,
| vatiye estimate of a, tile investment
: is ten per cent, while the majority
: of. thing done in the State for the
Z past few years has paid SO per cent
There are many cases on record
| where it has paid 100 per cent the
t first year. Thing makes it possible
( for the farmer to pay off his debt:
: much tarlier, as it increases the pro
ductiveness of his land.
l Bankers know the value of drain
