DELIGHTFUL EVENING.

The members of the Columbus
Christian Church gave a delightful
reception on Wednesday evening at
the Woman's Club in honor of the
young ladies from the Mississippi
State College for Women who are of
that faith. The club house was a
blaze of light, and floral decorations
made the scene more attractive.
An enjoyable program was given,
consisting of vocal and instrumental
soles, vocal and instrumental duets,
quartettes, choruses and readings.
At the conclusion of the program,
delicious refreshments were served,
consisting of hot chocolate, marsh
mallows, chicken salad and sandwich
es.
About thirty of the young ladies
from the college were present and
they were made to feel most cordially
their welcome. The ladies and gentle
men of the Columbus Christian
Church deserve to be congratulated
upon the success of the reception.

WILLIAM S. HART in HIS Big
GEST PICTURE, SAND" AT
PRINCESS MONDAY AND TUES
DAY.

The attraction at the Princess for
two days, Monday and Tuesday, Nov
22nd and 23rd, is William S. Hart in
his big special production from his
own studio, Sand" it is the kind of
picture that is ideally suited to the
personality Of Hart in that it affords
the star an opportunity for acting as
well as action, and Hart is one of the
very few stars of the stage or screen
that can combine both with success.
Hart is always at his best in out doors
stories, and in this romance of honor
love and six-shooters in the land Of
the Rio Grande, is one Of his very best
pictures. As he had no restraining
hand in the making, this being the
second picture made in his own studio
with a total disregard for time and
money. Don't miss Sand" 1t GER
tainly goes some.

strictly speaking, the word massage

of gentleness and carefulness, with
the barbarous, brutal and empirical
proceedings praeticed at hazard by
careless hands directed by the caprice
of the operator and not by the laws
of nature. The rubbings that | re-
commend are not to be administered
wilIy-nilly. The fingers must follow
the direction of west to east, the rub
bings must be gentle, no part of the
body must be omitted, and the appli-
cations should be of daily occurrence.

EASY TO LIVE FOR CENTURY

Paris, Nov. .20.-To live more than
one hundred years in beauty, that is,
in the fullness of strength and health,
to arrive at the final goal without
having known either the Affections or
weakness of old age, is not Utopia
dream. 1t is a reality which we all
have right to claim.
Certain physiological phenomena,
which l have observed and meditated
upon for a long time, have led me to
the discovery of the law which gov
ems the formation of organized be-
ings, and have brought me to the con-
vietion that most of the misery of ex-
istence can be avoided, and that the
duration of life can be considerably
increased.
The reasons that have given birth
to my conviction are based upon the
unalterable law Of universal move
ment that rules everything-the life
of the worlds and the life Of beings
and also on many unvarying facts
For myself then the demonstration
is made. 1t is evolved from logic anf
from facts, bright and radiant as in
evitable as an axiom Of geometry.

ings.
s Let Us suppose a plant to have at
tanned the limits Of its development;
that is to say, in all the perfection
of its form; expose it to the heat Of
the sun without having taken the pre-
caution to water sufficiently the earth
into which its roots plunge, there to
draw the nOurishing juices destined
to support life in it; what win hap
pen? Soon we see the leaves wither
on their extreme edges, wrinkle, dry
up and lose their beautiful living
form; the branches droop, the plant
bows its head; it is going to dry up
and die for lack of solid and liquid
nourishment.
If at this painful moment of vital
deterioration, we intervene by fur
nishing to the earth the water neces-
sary for the production and absorb
ton of the nourishing juices by the
roots, we see very quickly, but pro-
gressively, the renovation of the plant.
] In proportion as the nourishing juices
rise, penetrating the cells, we see these
lswell and distend again until the
molecular current having reached the
lextreme peripheries of the leaves, the
plant, with its beautiful head straight
Eand erect under the pressure of the
Vital current, shows us again its form
lin all the expansion of its splendor.
Signs of Decay.
This is phenomenon identical with
! that produced in man when muscular
Feontractions have determined an al
iteration of the form--the universal
cause of physical decay. The nourish-
ling fluids, stopped in their course,
mo longer carry life to the extreme
limits of the periphery of the form.
This, no longer able to sustain its
complete development, alters progress
.lsively; the skin wrinkles and dries up
the commissioners sink, the mouth en-
tlarges, the eyes are dry, the jaws are
tight, the head falls forward, the
limbs give way, the muscles, contract
ting, gather together the organs, which
crowd one another, pain arrives AND
life languishes. The body has COM
pletely changed its form. With
muscles contracted it has assumed ar
unnatural shape and this unnatural
mess of form means bad health. TIC
bring back sound health the body must
,ibe restored, to it's natural shape, the
i joints must be stretched out. How
\ lean this be accomplished? BY taking
medicine? Emphatically no! Medicine
may furnish temporary relief, but il
will not remove the cause.
