Generally, these annoying spasms are caused by over eating or overdrinking, the presence of gas In the stoinaoh, nervousness or ex citement. .Evidently, they ure a a old as the human race. In the days of Pluto, th# Greek philosopher, Eryxl machos, au Athenian physician, told a friend of his who was attacked with hiccup at a banquet to hold bis breath, to gargle his throat or to tickle his noeo with a feather. About the fame kind of advice that the victim ot today gets from his frlankls. But sometimes th# klccups don't atop. Every few days the newspapers contain uccounts of someone who has had hiccups for days uud who cannot stop. Stranger still are epfaemlcs of hiccup. Such an epidemic occurred in Wlnnepag In 1918, when over a thousand casea ware reported. Hiccup, of course, la not a disease. It la murely a spasm of the diaphragm, the muscular partition between the chest on v4ty and the abdominal cavity. This spasm may be alight and tem porary or It mu.v be the symptom of sdme serious disease. It Is common in some nervous disorders or It may oc cur In the last stagts of some diseases. But for hiccup to occur among hun dreds ef people at once Is most un usual. The three Wlnnepeg epidemics all began In November, reached their height by the first of December and disappeared by the first of January. All ages were affected from a child of ten to an old man of eighty-seven. Strange to say, over 00 per cent were males. No definite cause could be foum'.. But each epidemic was closely con nected with an epidemic of Influenza. Influenza Is a Btrange disease. When It came to this country In 1850, It v as celled the epizootic. After running all over the country like wild fire, it he enme milder und less frequent and Anally died out entirely. For many years, no one ever heard of It. Then In 1880-1800 it suddenly appeared as la grippe. Strangely enough, this dlsense never seems the same. Some years most of the afflicted have all the symptoms of a bad cold. Another year It will re semble bronchitis or pneumonia. Then It will be marked by nausea and vom iting or so-called "stomach llu," while again It will seem to -spend Its ener gies on the Intestinal . trucU??It has been noticed that, at some times and places, Its effects are largely on the brain and nerves. Most cases of so called sleeping sickness are due to In fluenza Infection. . It Is this form which is most frequently accompanied by I'hlccup. None, of the cases In Wlnne peg was fatal, although several' djed of sleeping sickness. Altogether a strange and mysterious sickness. (fit IMS, WMtwn Now? ??n BACKACHE IS a WARNING!

State's Progress Reflected In Telephone Growth HE growth and progress of South Carolina last year was strikingly reflected in the large investment in addi tions and extensions to the tele phone system. Such an active year of con struction has rarely been expe rienced in the State, and, as a result, the telephone service is more extensive and more valu able than ever before. In South Carolina last year the telephone workers handled 1 1,7 2 5 telephone stations, making a net gain of 2,59.5 new telephones and involving gross additions to plant of approxi mately $645,880. To accomplish this big task required the services of 763 workers, whose annual wage bill was $8of>,949. The investment in service in South Carolina as of December 31, 1924, was $7,207,196, ana there are now 57, 388 Bell tele phones in the State. vSome of the items included in the investment are 55 cen tral offices, 100,682 miles of wire, 1,89^ miles of pole line and 124 miles of underground duct. There is> a bigger task ahead this year, and your considerate interest encourages the tele phone workers in their effort to serve you even better. MORGAN B.

A village that was started with u good plan and has realized It Is Pat terson, Calif. This village and colony of irrigated farms, occupying 18.000 acres, were planned In 1010. Roads leading to the village were strategical ly located and planted with trees and shrubs. The village Itself has eight streets radiating from a civic center, where the public buildings are situat ed. In the last four years the resi dents of the village have built a pub lic librar;. , % community club house, a concrete swimming pool and a gram mar school, and have provldud a tour ist park. Ugly Village Called Detriment to Farmer Benuty 1b overtaking the drab Amer ican village, according to observations of the Department of Agriculture In a current study of village planning and i 1 8 benefits. Although nearly 'JO, 000, 000 persons live In American villages and a farm ing population of 150, 000,000 largely depends upon them for business, edu cational and social purposes, the de partment found they are "usually un attractive and often very ugly," suf fering by comparison In this respect with those of other countries. The start that l? being made toward Im provement and beautlflcatlon has proved In every case, it was said, a material asset aa well as an esthetic one. Pointing out that, "bb the farmer's chief point of contact with outside Interests, the ti\?ne enn inakc a big contribution to the happiness of furm life," the department asserted that an attractive village with good streets and convenient approaches and recre ation spots was "?n Important Influ ence Ir. stabilizing farm life and coun teracting the attractions of the cities for the young people of the farm." Study Plant Needs The general conditions of a garden cannot supply all plants, or perhaps any plant with those obtaining In the native situation. Itight here steps in the skillful, well-posted gardener and suppMes by artificial means a compen sation for the lack of natural condi tions. All who garden should do like wise, or leave gardening to those who will and do.- Plants have wonderful powers of adaptation, hut the farther we meet them on their journey toward local conditions, the grenter will be our success In growing them. A strik ing case of adaptation Is that of the camphor tree, which In Its native hab itat thrives best with an annual rain fall of 230 Indies. Though It thrives here. It does much hotter in the damp climate of Florida, or even In the gulf frontage of Texas. Study peculiar plant needs and meet them so far as you can. ? 1,0' Angeles Times.
