Sorghum

One happy remembrance comes to
mind in these days when it is an
nounced that the sorghum crop viii
be large and that there will be plenty
Of the old-time mOlasses. In the Old
days when the young folk ate sorghum
molasses, corn bread and sometimes
a varied assortment of gravies there
were no beauty parlors needed. Both
boys and girls established a reputa-
tion for having certain type OF
beauty and that reputation has never
been lost. 1t Is only the young folk
who did not eat sorghum and corn
bread who now need the assistance of
the specialists in beauty culture.
Everybody should have a chance to
eat a saucer full of good old sorghum
molasses, with corn bread and per-
haps little cream, and thus will come
not only realization how the boys and
girls of a former generation lived, but
also what made them so healthy and
beautiful.-Nashville Ledger.

Travel for Travels Sake

For my part, travel not to go any
where, but to go. l travel for travels
sake. The great affair is TO move; to
feel the needs and bitches of our life
more early; to come down Off this
featherbed civilization. and find the
globe granite under foot and strewn
with cutting flints. Alas. as we get up
in life, and are more preoccupied with
our affairs, even a holiday is a thing
that must be worked for. To hold a
pack upon packsaddle against gale
out of the freezing North is no high
industry, but II is one that serves to
occupy and compose the mind. And
when the present is so exacting who
can annoy himself about the future?-
Robert Louis Stevenson.
