New Bread for Diabetes.

Through the recent production of
a starchless -four in the laboratory of
a New York hospital, sufferers from
diabetes now can enjoy their break
fast rolls just as healthy persons can,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
One of the hardships of the diet of
the diabetic patients always has been
that they must abstain from bread,
mullins biscuits, buns and similar
-four products because such foods
contain starch in large quantities.

BY QUEEN MARIE OF RUMANIA.
MAKING MARRIAGE DURABLE.

We women must be careful not to
change mans attitude toward us SO
much that he can never again find
in us the ideal, the influence or the
inspiration which we used to be-
1t is certainly our right to join
hands in a. common understand nding so
as to have our fair share of life; we
need no more be mans slave, or
drudge. We need no longer be his
victim either. But let US be careful
not to set ourselves up as his rival,
because then we will lose his SYM
pathy, his help and also his respect.
Girls nowadays are no more in
nocent. At an early age they know
the mysteries of life almost as COM
pletely as boys do, but nature is
crueller toward woman than she Is
toward man. Therefore am I still
inclined to call out to her: beware!
go slowly, do not act over-hastily,
you alone will have to carry the
consequence of your every step, your
mothers can protect you to a certain
have torn from them, you are now
ever so much more your own
mistresses than formerly, therefore
look out!
Being a woman, / cannot but con-
slider that there has always been a
too great difference made in what is
allowed to a. man and woman.
Temptation is the same to both. Be
sides, mans desire being strongest,
it is he who generally tries to lead
the girl astray. Why should he there
fore be so relentless in judging later
on, what used to be commonly called
the fallen women, when one of his
kind was responsible for her fall?
prv will he
raised: but woman cannot love and
pass on as man can. Nature is
against her. Nature has destined her
to be mother, therefore she cannot
and must not have mans freedom.
Injustice of Mems Stand.
I quite agree-I would always with
all my might try to prevent a girl
overstepping the old limits of moral
ity. but 1 do cry out in Indignation
and have always done so from the
moment I understood what was the
meaning Of the fruit of knowledge" :"
If 1t is such a sin for woman to love
before marriage, then, oh, We man,
leave her alone. Pursue her not thus
mercilessly with your desire, your
greed, your fine words and promises,
your declarations which she believes
in and your alteration which is so
difficult to resist, and which she thinks
mean faithfulness as well as passion.
But why, when the deed is done.
why then turn around upon her and
declare her damaged goods''-a girl
no father will admit of his son bring
ing into the family? Why should the
man be allowed to go on and offer
his hand to any innocent girl while
his. victim of yesterday is forevermore
to hide her head in shame?
No! no! Some of that injustice will
have to be done away with, and it
certainly would come about more
quickly If women amongst themselves
were kinder. more protective, more
forgiving toward each other.
They, just as well as the men of
this world, are largely responsible for
the attitude it takes toward their
fallen sisters.

"The One Best Bet"

In the days when horse racing was
legalized sport in Tennessee, stu
dents Of equine pedigrees and track
performances were enabled to accum-
reputation, by selling their tips to
bettors. The "dopesters" would name
their choices for first, second and third
places in each race, and always give
"the one best bet" of the day.
We are reminded of this old-time
custom here by contest now going on
in this city between two Of the courts
and a couple of divorced men who
have been ordered to pay alimony to
their former wives.
The two refractory grass widows
politely but firmly gave the judges to
understand that they would not carry
ont the courts orders. The judges are
still doing business in their court
rooms, but the obstinate defendants
are making their quarters at the coun-
ty Jail.
From their seclusion over on the
river bluff the anti-alimony pair hurl-
ed few defis and give the courts to
understand that they will live and die
in confinement before they will obey.
The one best bet" i'm this contest
is the courts. BOOkmakers would be
willing to lay heavy odds on the
judges. Pedigree, form and past per-
fOrmances are all in favor of the
courts.
This isn't the first time that man
who refused to heed court instructions
has notified the world that he will
rot in JAIL before he will give in.
But we have never heard of one rot
ting there. Somehow. sitting on the
inside looking at the outside day
after day brings about a change of
heart. 1t may not inspire i'm the heart
Of the prisoner a love for the court,
but it does create an uncomfortable
longing for liberty.
After a'timc a message will go from
the Jail to the courthouse that cou-
pie Of Sheriff Knights guests are very
anxious TO pay alimony or anything
else that the court desires. 1t was
ever thus.
Aside from being public express
sion Of ones disrespect for the law,
defiance Of the courts is foolish. The
judge on the bench has the backing of
society, the state and the law.
If the day ever comes when a man
can stand before court and defy it,
then courts win be useless and will
crumhle.
Judges are human, and may make
mistakes but they cannot be defied.
The man who attempts to defy a court
soon rcpents it.-Commercial Appeal.

in its infancy For the first four years
production came almost exclusively
from the first sand. Recently the
second and third sands have been pen
etrated at lower depths, and their
petroleum content has been found even
superior 10 the first 1t is said that
there are even fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh sands, which means that the
supply is almost ineXhaustible so far
as this generation is concerned That
the field will be greatly entended can
not he doubted. One Of the men who
assisted in the development of the
wonderful SmaCkOver field, and who
last week refused an offer Of one mil
lion dollars in cash for it's holdings,
predicts that the next great oil strike
will he in Jackson county, not far from
Newport As a matter of fact it is
believed by many that practically all
Of Arkansas is underlayed by an ocean
Of petroleum, only awaiting the well
diggcrs drill TO bring it to the surface.
Visitors in the oil fields see wonder
ful sites. There are veritable forests
of dcrricks on every hand-Over aban-
doncd wells, and wells that are being
drilled. Great pipe lines wind their
way through the forests every where.
All is hustle and activity. Cross-road
hamlets of a few months ago have be-
come potential cities. Near Smackover
the visitor is shown gigantic crater
600 feet across and 300 feet deep, with
PERCEPTIONS sides, blown out by the
force of gas when well was being
drilled. Nearby 3 great gushers are
pouring a flood of 2500 barrels daily
into a great hole eXcavated from the
earth, and giant pumps are at work
in an effort to keep ahead of the
natural flow. The foliage for a dis
tance of several blocks is thoroughly
saturated with oil. And the warm
summer sun shining upon it makes it
a scene of mexampled grandeur and
awfulness.

W. NJ. shelby, Editor and Publisher
of the Batesville Record, has been a
close student Of educational problems
for years. He advocates improved con-
ditions and facilities for public schools
and makes the following definite chal-
lenge to the people of Arkansas:
"A delegation from Pulaski county,
after investigating school conditions in
Shelby county, Tenn, where the coun-
ty unit system prevails, reported in
favor OF the plan. We go further and
advocate a state unit for our public
schools, providing EQUAL opportuni-
ties for every boy and girl In the state
TO secure common school education.
We can never lay claim TO doing our
duty toward the children of the state,
so long as we maintain a school system
that gives favored few so much great
or advantages over the majority. Is it
selfshness or lack Of vision, that pre-
vents so many of our most influential
school men from taking up the battle
and advocating change from the old
to more just and modern school sys-
TEN, that will give us the educational
relief the state so badly needsY
