Forty years in the District of Co
lumbia without having set foot on the
streets! Such was the record of sew
eral of the sisters of the Visitation
convent, formerly located at Connecti-
cut avenue and l. street Northwest,
am told on authority. For forty
years these sisters lived in the school,
taking their exercise in the spacious
grounds back of the building, sur

past the building now you see it al

the building and site having been sold

cells and trod again the streets of the

Yesterday i had about as severe a
cold as possible, which had been com
ing on several days. and had been sim
ply neglected, and sneezed and
coughed all day, using any number of
handkerchiefs. In the afternoon l
took one or two doses of soda, half a
teaspoonful, and in the evening took
five more, at half-hour intervals, in
warm water. At midnight took one
of the grip powders l have so long
prescribed, ten grains Of phenacetin
with 20 Of soda, with hot water. and
went to bed with two handkerchiefs
under my pillow. dropped to sleep
very soon and slept soundly until call
ed at 80, when l took another Of the
phenacetin and soda powders and
found the cold entirely gone; exactly
the experience which I reported be-
fore and which have had many
times.
Last year from October to late
spring wrote for the phenacetin and
soda powders, ten grains and 20, al

four times in the day, for patients

premier dancers and who will be seen

styled by lovers of twinkling feet as
dancing fool" He loves his work and
he knows it from start to finish as few
stage dancers do. His dexterity and
nimbleness of limb and foot need to be
seen to be properly appreciated,
II heard an eminent dancing master
some time ago decry the degeneracy, as
he styled it, of the gentle art of terpsi
chore," says Swor... ITS all right to

dancing don't believe that they should
be permitted to get away with it,
Naturally, we dancers are4obliged to,ex-
aggerate our movements to a certain
extent in the pursuit of novelty, but I
maintain that that holds good in all
the theatric arts. The stage Is not the
ballroom, and while it is true that the
ballroom dances are effective on the
stage they are necessarily broader in
effect because of the peculiar arrange
ment of lights and effects"

COTTON ACREAGE.
REDUCTION PLAN
UP TO GOVERNORS
Asked to Urge Bankers, Farm
erS and Business Men of
Their States to Attend Con-
vention in Memphis.

The governors of Is states in the
South have been asked by T. B. King;
secretary of the executive commit
tee considering plans for the mon
ster acreage reduction convention to
be held in Memphis Dec. 7aS, to urge
all banks, clearing house associa-
tons, farmers and business men to
attend the conference and give 1t
their unstinted support Mr.. King
has also asked the leading neWspa-
pers of the South to aid in the work
by giving it wide publicity.
Stress is being laid on the neces-
sity of the South to reduce its cot
ton acreage in order to prevent fl
nancial disaster. 1t is not proposed
to abandon the acreage not planted
to cotton. Such action would win
little support. 1t is the purpose OF
the convention to urge farmers or
the South to substitute food and feed
crops for cotton. The reduced cot
ton acreage will result in a lessened
production, which will bring higher
price, while the increased acreage
planted to food and feed crops will
produce at home the things for which
a greater portion of the money re-
in the past.
If the farmer is ever able to cor
rectly grasp the principle of living
at home first and making money out
of his cotton crop second, the prob
lem of the South will be solved. 1t
is the history of cotton marketing
from its inception that small crops
bring more proportionately, and quite
often actually, than do large crops.
Consequently, the shift of a goodly
percentage of acres from cotton to
food and feed will have a tendency
to increase the money supply at the
samet time that it reduces the ne
cessity for expenditures for food and
feed.
Butt this point must not only be
seen; it must be recognized as a
thing affecting the entire South, and
one which must be gone at in a
spirit of cooperation. Bill Smith
may believe that by planting a big
acreage this year when everybody
else is reducing he will make kill
ing, but if he wants to prosper next
year and the next he will work in
cooperation with John Jones and
the rest of his neighbors and plant
according to a proportion, which, if
followed, will give the South a GER
tain acreage, with prospective yield
within certain figures. In other
words, he must realize that his per-
manent prosperity depends upon a
permanent policy based on scientific
principles, which must be followed
by every farmer if it is to be sue
Cessful
1t will be one of the efforts, of the
convention to make each individual
see and realize that he is a part OF
the whole body of farmers in the
South and must work as one unit OF
the organization if he is to be per-
manently prosperous and successful
