Whitesldes of Sharon in talking about cattle to Views and Interviews. We use for the purpose of cutting off the horns of cattle a specially made instrument called a dehorner. With it one can do a much neater and quicker Job than with a saw. The use of the saw in cutting off hornp is a Very slow and cruel process. With the dehorner, however, the horns aro snipped off quickly and it is ail over. Where one handles cattle In largo numbers," Mr. Whitesldes went on to say, "it is almost necessary to cut off the horns. There are always sure to be one or more real mean cows In a bunch of cattle and those are hooking the others and causing them to fight, with the result that we sometimes suffer losses. Hut with the horns off there Is an end to fighting."

In connection with the recent hunger strike of Terence MacSwlney, the Irish prisoner In Brixton jail, reference has been made to Dr. Henry Tanner and his 40 day fast. To the present speedy and unsentimental generation of money-getters the mention of that once famous feat will likely bring little or no reactions of interest or memory, but to the old-timers who were here in the '80s. Dr. Tanner's fast will be recalled as an event that rocused the sympathy of the entire world for 40 days, upset time honored theories of scientific dletarlans. turned the laugh on the doctors and became a "sporting event" whose dally outcome was watched In every village In the country. * Or. Henry. S. Tanner, the faster, was born In England, but was\a resident of Minneapolis when he upset the world's established dletarian Ideas. As a matter of fact he made two long fasts. He first came to notice In 1877 at Minneapolis through his determination to abstain from ftiod as an expedient of relief from asthma, rheumatism and an ailment of the heart. A ten day period was fixed upon, that being then considered about the limit of human endurnnce. Finding himself vastly benefited by his ten day | abstention frorp food, he continued the experiment until, according to his own statement, he had reached the then astounding limit of 4 2 days without partaking of any solid food. IIi<l font utlrro/1 ort ? * U|> cv uuiu cuiuroversy in medical circles and the genuineness of his exploit being widely doubted. Tanner offered to repeat the performance under any conditions which might be named. After long preliminary negotiations, it was finally arranged that the test should be made under the supervision of a medical college in New York and it was begun at noon. June 28, 1880, at Clarendon hall. The most extraordinary precautions were taken against possible deception, the doctor being practically confined to the hall during the Jest, and he was constantly watched day and night. The sole furniture of the hall or room where he was kept was a cot and a table. Before starting the fast, his clothes were carefully searched to make sure that he had no tabloid nourishment concealed about him and every nook and crevice of the room, and even the bed clothes, were rigidly oxamjned. Visitors were allowed at all hours in the hall and some member of the medical college was con- I stantly by his side as well as attend- I Ing physicians of his own selection. The first 14 days of his fast he took I neither water nor exercise. By that time, however, public interest had been strongly aroused and to meet the clamor of the press and the appeals of humane officers, he was taken for a short dally ride in Central park, drank water from a spring therein nnd afterward during his fast water was kept on his table by which he refreshed himself from time to time. Reporters from all the newspapers were assigned daily to watch him and report progress and whole pages of the press were soon devoted to the test, the minutest changes being noted in his condition, cabled abroad and bulletined throughout the country. As his fust progressed the public ex eiternent increased day by day and the doctor was the recipient oC all kinds of advice, encouragement, sympathy and protests. I<argc wagers were made for and against the proposition of his holding out the 40 days and a great denl of money changed hands on the issue, especially In the closing days of the test, when his condition was considered precarious. Bven in the remotest of rural communities Dr. Tanner's fast wns the topic of the day and the bulletins of his condition were eagerly awaited. When he began the fast Tanner weighed 157 pounds, his pulse being normal at 80 beats. Toward the latter days of the test, he spent much of his time on his cot, with his knees doubled up to his stomach und several times he showed alarming signs of collapse, which were generally relieved by water sponge baths and mustard water rubbed on his stomach nnd the soles of his feet. His irritability increased rapidly as the period of his fast drew near its end. The 38th day he was seized with violent retching and was unable for a while to retain even water on his stomnch. Smoking In his presence was forbidden, as it reacted powerfully on his sense of smell and created nausea. Chemical analysis of the waters ejected "from his stomach at Intervals showed not the slightest evidences of food having been partakent He heenme very weak and spent most of his time on his cot, rolled up in his covers and with his feet doubled up in his favorite position. As the fast neared its last hours the interest increased in intensity and took on in some instances hysterical phases. Telegrams poured in on him begging him to desist from the exper. tment, women wired him proposing murrlage, and physicians from all parts of the world sent warnings? some of them by cable?as to the manner In which he should break his long fast and as to the necessity of the utmost caution In the character of nourishment selected, and it was freely predicted that he would not survive his tirst meal. And here's what happened?much to the astonishment of that world of the '80s: At "high noon," as the papers of that time announced, of the 40th day. Dr. Tanner completed his fast, the hall being crowded with spectators and the sidewalks outside lined with people awitlng the news. The factory whistles announced when the time was up. Tanner had ordered fresh fruits to be brought and the doctors had light gruels, beef extract and milk at hand. I LAUNDRY PRICES TOO HIGH. Fort Mill Man Thinks Government < Squadron Should Re Called In. "There Is an opportunity for somv good work to be done In this section ,| by the government's socalled 'Hying s squadron of profiteer hunters,' In my , opinion." yesterday remarked a Fort Mill man after reading the press dls- ,, patch announcing thut the "squad- t ron" had forced the Chlhls restau- . rants throughout the country to reduce their food nrices "I'Mtni" ?? = in ess concerns in this section," he ad- , ded, "will have to be forced by the j strong arm of the law to cut their , wartime prices, otherwise I am con- . vtneed there will be no relief for the j public. An illustration of what I f consider an unreasonable price came under my observation a day or two f ago when n friend of mine got back r a package of collars he had sent out t of town to be done up and had to pay 4 cents apiece for the work on ( them. During the war I spent a year f or more in a city where everything ( was admittedly high, hut at no time y In that city did I have to pay more * than 3 cents each for having my col- . lars laundered. This isn't such a , small matter as one might conclude < at tlrst blush; but however small I' . might be in the amount of money the public is actually paying above the worth of the laundry work, the , iiuumce or md. price Is the thing to , consider. Most of the merchants Ir. , tids section hnve reduced the price of their ttoods In conformity v. Ith the nation-wide movement to lower 'he ( cost of living and when any business . concern refuses to fall in line with , the movement it should bo force.1 to ( do so. The old story about labor , conditions is bunk and no one need now use it with the expectation of < (hiding an informed person to be- , lleve It." , HOCK HILL DISTRICT CASTORS. \ Bishop Darlington Makes Announcement for Next Church Year.

Ropej\ I A Correction. i Kditor Fort Mill Times: I In the manuscript submitted to you last week on "Breadth of Modern School Curriculum" there was the following passage: "When we compare present day culture with that of those men and women who, in a former day, necessurlly con lined their stud- . its in the common schools to reading, i writing and arithmetic, and in the colleges to l^atln, Greek, mathematics and logic, we are usually compelled to give -tlrst place to the older culture." By the unintentional skipping of a line by the typesetter the sentence was made to read "contlncd their studies in the common schools, to Rutin, Greek, mathematics and logic." Of course no sane man would he likely to advocate riow or in a former time the general study of Rutin. Greek, the higher mathematics and logic in the common schools. In order to set myself right with your readers with reference to this matter, I am asking you to make this correction, which I am sure you will he glad to do. J. W. H. Dycncs. Fort Mill. Nov. 10. Disregarding all remonstrances. Tanner reached for a soft ripe peach, peeled it and slowly ate it. Then he called for a Georgia watermelon off the ice. He cut a hole in it and plunged his hund down into the heart and ate a considerable cjuantlty of it. Waiting a few minutes he took a glass of milk on top of the peach and the watermelon and then stood up and made u little talk to the crowd, apparently greutly relieved after his long nirttiu. in a nair nour ne took a little more watermelon. After being driven to the home of a physician, he rested an hour or so and then, at 3:20, drunk an ounce of liKht wine, after which he took another slice of watermelon. At 4:30 he was eat ink with (treat relish a piece of beefsteak, not swallowing the tiber of the moat. At 6 o'clock he asked for an apple, ate It, and then asked for another and partially finished It. At 7:30 he tried the beefsteak attain and nt & npother ounee of wine. Then he fell nsleep and woke the next morning with no distressing effects, while the entire medical world wondered. At the end of his fast he weighed 123 pounds, a loss of 35 pounds from his normal weight, his pulse registered 92 heats and his temperature was 99. Dr. Tanner lived to he 87 years old. I He died at San Diego, Pal., Januar** | 3, 1919. He had lived In California . some years and found n colony there t which made a cult of fnstlng for health and some of his patients made records for long fasts, some of which j exceeded his own. ?i.ii> rer xeur STAN US n\* PRINCIIMiK. iovomor Cox Would Not llrtrnro Ounitnieii Stops.
