Ih it outrageouKly unjustified on oth ers and what can our ?t?te ami fed eral authorities do .?bout it? Presi dent Wilson has asked the attorney general and the department of com merce to investigate with a view to prosecutions. t The public is Justified in its indig nant suspicions that the Increase in prlccB of certain foodstuffs produced exclusively in tili? country and for which we do not have to depend on Europe, could not be sustained with out Home sort of an ugreciucut among producers and dealers. Ih there any excuse for a raine of more thun 100 per cent on flour with in a few days? Minncsolu report? the greatest wheat crop in 20 years. Other states rejoice lu most bountiful harvests. Exportation of flour and other foodstuff h has practically ceas ed. Canned goods and general gro ceries are subjected to the same pro cess. It has been suggested that remedy In ease proof of conspiracy I? secured, in afforded by the common law and that New York authorities are pro ceding on this theory. President Wilson intimates that If the federal statutes are inadequate new legisla tion may be asked. It seems pretty clear that unscrupulous persons are taking advantage of the war to Im pose upon tho consumer. The difficul ty will be to prove conspiracy or to fix tho blame. j DENTISTS AND CIVILIZATION Nothing has had a greater influence on civilization in tho last halt century than the practice of dentistry. There are somo now living who recall when all of the "tooth doctoring" was done by the village blacksmith. But detls try has become a science and an hon ored profession. Dentists are doing more for Chris tianity than almost any other clasB of professional men outside of the pul pit. Bad teeth and the bad condition of tho teeth cause many of the diBor ders of the body, dlBtempers of the mind and disease of the soul. The psychology of dyspepsia is one of the things which teach us the related ac tivities of the stomach and the soul. ?And lnciHorn- and 'mo!fr? aftd'bicus pids have their place in psychology, If the government of the state would do the wise thing. It would pass a law requiring parents.to see that chil dren keap their teeth clean and that all public schools compel the examina tion of children's teeth and the correc tions of ovils found. How many mis eries of the body and tortures of the soul, present and in the future, would be overcome by a little precaution. And with strongeer, better teeth, we would have a stronger, Bauer, better citizenship. PORK BARREL DANGEBOUS The republican papers are charging that of the "rivers and harbors bill," $1,000,000 Is "pork." The total ex penditure planned In the bill is $53, 000,000?. The government faces a deft city, of $100,000,000 on account of tho war cutting down the customs revenue. Therefore it seems that President Wilson has another problem on his hands?how to let congress make an appropriation adequate for the abso lute necessities of our government, and yet not impose upon the people any unjust burden of "pork barrel" or unnecessary appropriations made to bolster the fortunes of congress men who have close contests. Better let the party be "the goat" of circumstances than to have the country suffer'. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF YYOBRY While we cannot subscribe unre servedly to the faith cure propaganda, yet there ts something, indeed quite a lot, In the psychology of worry. An animal never worries when It becomes ill, and nature's healing processes are not hindered by any fretting. That is the penalty of being able to reason?or r/brhaps not to reason. If we have one chill, we begin to look forward to another one and to dread the approaching hour. The animal, when ill, goes into the sunshine, quits eating and recovers-'?"unless mortally stricken. And the proper mental at titude tvuds tu F?at?f? u??i??, in an imals so does the wrong attitude cause recovery in humans to be retarded. The physician who comes Into the sick room with a smile, who has self Confidence, poise, geniality, has almost as much to do wtlh the patient's condi tion as the medicine that'is given. Reason, imagination and will power are applied to by his presence. The right mental attitude *? necessary to the proper assimilation of medicine. Suggestion is potent. Contentment ts a large percentage of health. INTERESTING W A Ii FIGURES If you have been studying a map of Europe slnc:(; the war began wo are sure that you have been surprised to ?< ? how little* you know of the coun tries. Involved. Koine of them are much larger than you had any Idea I bey were, others are .smaller than you expected to find them, and their nearness to one another may also have caused surprise. Here are some Interesting facts about the various nations that arc at war.

The place was In Hrushy Creek township, at the home of Mr. Rich ard Wilson. The occsaion was the j celebration of the birthdays of Mr. Wilson and his good wife While the! duttM of bblrth was not the same, and | the wire had passed away several yeurs 'ugo, the relatives and freuiua decided to celebrate botli days in one, and honor their saluted mother as well us their living father. The good people began to arrive at, 10 o'clock, and in a short time abouti 2U0 hud arrived to participate in the pleasures of the day. At 12 o'clock uj long table was spread under the beau tiful oaks, und dinner was announced. | Hev.

Mr. Richard Wilson was a brave and raithful Confederate veteran, and came home after the surrender with nothing left but -braid and muscle, and a willingness to work. Forty-five years ago he left the Cray ton vi lie section with his little family, and movpd into the Piedmont hills. He soon acquired a Iitle farm, and1 with a stout heart and a good wife, ' started out to achieve success By thrift, industry, economy and good judgment bo has suceeded, dhd at the age of 79 has accumulated enough of | this world's goods to support him in his declining years, besides th? help I he has given his children.

In the Georgia primary yesterday Senator lloke Smith waB renomlnated by u large majpoity, and Congressman Adamspn and the other leaders in the house from Georgia who had oppo sition were renomlnated. The people of Mississippi and the people of Georgia have shown good judgment They have voted to sustain Presi dent Wilson and his administration in the perplexing problems that now face the country?tho greatest prob lems, perhaps, that the world has ever known. All Europe Is in a war. Every conn try on the continent is in arms, ex cept two or three of the minor pow ers, and they may be drawn into it. It Is a world war. President Wilson and Secretary I Bryan are trying to keep the United i States from becoming Involved. The , task that is before them Is a great one; none of us know now just how hard it may be. And President Wilson is entitled to the support of all the people of the country He is entitled to the support of congress; particularly is he enti tled to the support .if the members of congress who arc members of his own party. He should have in congress men whom he knows, men who know him. and who may be relied upon to hold up his hands in what he is trying to do. If the people send to congress men who will oppose him and nag him on who are antagonist ne; to him on every occasion, it will make hlB bur den much harder. It will be discour aging and disheartening to him. As it stands today, the president knows the members of congress, and 1 the. know him. They have been work ing toeether. Members of congress have differed with the president on some things, but it has been an hon est dlfferenqo. He lia? their fullest ror spect, and he haB the fullest confi dence In his party associates. Thev may bo relied on to work together in the future, us they have In the past, f*nd lust, at this time, of all times, the rresldent and the country should be snared the danger and the annoyance of having new men. and particularly men antagonistic to the president, in .the congress, where they1 may harass the president personally and block the uolicles of the administration hi mat ters that may affect not' only the wel fare of the country but of -.he whole world. President WJlBon has given the country some noble messages during the past few week3. He has begged the people to keep- their -heads,-and to co-operate with'htm in trying to keep our country from becoming Involved 'In the awful war that now rages in Europe. We can do this in no better or surer way than by sending to congress men who will work with him and ad vise with him in the right spirit, men upon whom he can reply. If we havo such men In congress, and we bave, It would be most unfortunate to make a change just at this time. To send new men to Washington now. no mat ter how able and well qualified they might be, would be a mistake. Ad mltlng that the new men would be 'uct as able end just as willing as the old ones, they would necessarily have to get acquainted with the president r.nd congress, and ihn ways-of doing things, and tho president should sure lv be saved frcm the b-ivdor. of that srrl of .thing new. There will Ikj tine enough for that later on, If the people want to try it. but that time is not now. This is not written with a view ot hurting the ambition of any worthy man who'wants to $o to congress, but we do think the thought herein con veyed is one that oUght to be given very serious consideration by the peo ple. oooooio 0,0,n 000 0000000 o CtJfeE FOB SNAKE HITE o o it. o OOO 0 00 o o p o ooo oo oooo A cur'ous method- of curing snako bites Is In vogue In' India.
