Health and Beauty
(By Dr. Sophia Brunson)
Good Looks, Series No, 7?The Cultivation
of the Mind
A face that has only perfect fea
turea and even beautiful coloring to
recommend it, is utterly blank and
insipid unless illumined by an inteb
liuent and cultivated mind, combined
-with a sweet and noble spirit.
In the years of very early life
great attention should be paid to the
development of the body. The child's
mind is engaged -with the curious
I world into which he has been launched.
He wonders about all of his
strange surroundings and constantly
asks questions concerning himself
and the objects that he sees. His
life is made up of a series of interrogations.
The intelligent and
sympathetic caretaker answers his
questions In a sane and sensible way
and does not turn a deaf ear or command,
him to keep quiet. His interest
in what he sees reveals qri inquiring
mind. Natfrre is gently leading
hir^n along the pleasant and useful
paths.of learning. If his attempts
at acquiring knowledge are
met in a proper manner, his questions
will either be truthfully answered,
or he will bo told that he is
too young to comprehend the subject
now, but when he grows older that
it will be explained to him. Thus the
child's education progresses in a normal
manner. Happy the children
whose parents understand that they
the God-appointed guardians of their
little ones, intrusted to their care,
end that their whole future depends
upon the careful training which they
receive in childhood.
The girl who is born with a beautiful
face, but is ignorant and untaught
cannot compete in attractiveness
with one who is only passably
good looking but has a cultivated
mind and a sweet spirit. You may
want to know what connection there
is between cultivation of the mind
and the growth of beauty. Bring a
little scraggly wild flower, into your
garden and plant. At first the blossoms
are insignificant like those of
the same variety in the forest from
which it came. You tend and cultivate
it with care. It gets water
when it needs it, it is where the rays
of the sun can reach it for at least
a part of the day. Your endeavors
follow the laws of its being and
give it an opportunity, to reach the
highest development of which it is
capable. The result is a healthy,
flourishing growth that produces finer
and more beautiful flowers.
The same is true of human beings,
there is just as intimate relation between
mental health and beauty as
there is between physical health and
beauty.
Question?'What is itch?
Itch is a contagious affection. It
is medically known as scabies. The
treatment must be directed to the destruction
of the parasite which causes
it, and the alleviation of the irritation.
Sulphur is one of the best remedies,
usually applied in the form of
an ointment.
James J. Masterson of Philadelphia
was badly jarred by a police court
judge when he was placed under
$15,000 bail bond Tuesday for breach
of the peace. Masterson is a professional
gambler and he appeared as
a witness in "behalf of his bodyguard,
Joseph Kelly, who was up for carrying
a pistol. The gambler admitted
hiring Kelly as a personal guard because
ho frequently went about the
street with large sums of money on
his person. The judge told the gamblerhe
was as guilty as his guard.
Four negroes, three of them said
to be preachers, are under ar^st at
Eldorado, Ark., on charges of operating
illicit stills.

FARMERS' EARNINGS LESS
While There Have Been Big Increases
in Salariea
New York.?The income of the people
of the Unittaf States increased
$23,470,000,000 in the last ten years.
The increase almost equals the total
national income twenty years ago.
These figures, showing the enormous
progress of the country, in dollars
and cents, were released recently
by the national bureau of economic
research. They< are taken from a report,
four years in preparation, which
gives in detail the annual changes in
the national income and its punching
power from 1909 to 1928.
The total income in ,1928 was $89.419,000,000
as against $29,005,000,000
in 1909. The average wage earner
who made $970 in 1909 received
$1,205 last year while the pay of
the average salafjed.employee jumped
from $970 I'd"1 $2,084 in that period
the figures .show.
The bureau's report points out that
the total of realized incomes does not
include changes in the value of property,
allowances for the income of
housewives and youngsters for services
rendered to their own families,
money earned through odd-job employment
nor expense accounts received
by employees.
Employees earned a total of $61,123,000,000
last year. The figures
show they have added $13,423,000,000
to their 1022 income.
The per capita realized income
more than doubled between 1000 and
1023 and has been steadily increasing
until last year it mounted to $740.
For the family of five this would
make an annual income of $3,746, of
course, as the report takes occasion to
point out, the total income is far
from being equally divided.
Of interest in connection tvith the
campaigns for farm relief is a table]
which shows the income from agri-ulture
declined slightly between lvOO
and 1014, increased vigorously during
the war period, dropped abruptly!
between 1000 and 1021 and has since
been able to maintain itself only on
the level of the latter year. Agriculture
is now producing less than
10 per cent, of the nation's income in
contrast with the 18.6 per cent, produced
in 1018, the figures indicate.
Another interesting feature of the
bureau's report in the estimate of the
government's part in furnishing income
to its citizens, this estimate includes
the Federal, stute and local
governments, taking ip counties, cities,
villages and even school districts.
A total of 2,810,000 government workers
earned $4,002,000,000 in 1027 or
$503,000,000 more than almost twioo
as many employees, 1,052,000 to bo
exact, made in 1010.
1 Adults Contract Children's
Diseases
Adults can, and do, Contract many
children's diseases. And usually, they
suffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adults
contract worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expensive
medical treatments, without
[ realizing that worms are the cause
' of their troubles. Yet, the symptoms
i are the same as in children, loss of
| appetite and weight, grinding the
teeth and restless sleep, itching of
the nose and anus, and abdominal
pains. And, the same medicine thqt
surely and harmlessly expels round
and pin worms from children will do
the same for adults?White's Cream

One Hundred Years of Progress
THE"Great Highway of the Union" they called
the Petersburg Railroad 100 years ago.
A pretentious name for a fifty-nine mile railroad!
But one that future years were to justify.
Reaching only from Petersburg, Virginia, to a
"point one and one-half miles below the falls of
the Roanoke River", near the North Carolina
Line, the Petersburg Railroad was the first of
more than 100 railroads, later to make up the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, that
wrought a transformation in every phase of the
life of the entire Southeast.
Here, along the coast, one hundred years ago,
was a land already old, its cities long established,
but dependent upon trade and upon an agriculture
faced by growing competition.
\ Everywhere progress was impeded by the lack
of transportation.
Planters along the coast and rivers could float .
their crops to market; a slow and risky process,
but the only one available. Those of the interior
must haul tneir produce to the nearest navigable
water, usually at a cost too high for any but the
most valuable commodities. r
Small wonder that the building of the Petersburg
Railroad, the Richmond and Petersburg,
the vPilmington & Raleigh and many others was
welcomed By the farmers and merchants and
travelers of tne time.
New towns sprang up along the rails. New
lands came into bearing. New impetus was given
to settlement and trade and travel.
But hard times lay ahead for the early railroads.
There were long, lean years when crop
failures and money panics, lack of credit and the
necessity of constantly rebuilding and enlarging
their facilities threatened their existence.
Today, because of fast, reliable railroad transportation,
the coastal lands, once used only for
staple crops, send unnumbered trainloads of fruits
and vegetables to the markets of less favored
sections. Florida, once considered more of "ail
obstacle in the coasting trade than as an economic
province", reaps a harvest of gold from its citrus
fruits and vegetables and is the Mecca of millions
of vacation seekers.
Industries undreamed of a few years ago now
find in this section most favorable conditions for
their plants.
The double track of the Atlantic Coast Line
between Richmond and Jacksonville forms, in
truth, the "Great Highway of the Union", over
which there moves a commerce vastly greater and
more valuable than even the far-sighted founders
of the Petersburg Railroac^ could nave imagined.
A net-work of lines throughout the Southeast
enables many an otherwise isolated section to
market its produce and gives encouragement to
sound development.
The South today is a land of unlimited opportunity.
It faces the future with confidence. The
Atlantic Coast Line, whose constituent companies
have aided the growth and progress of this rich
section for the past centuty, is continuing to make
steady and far-reaching improvements in its facilities
and service so as to contribute, in increasing
measure, to the development the coming
years shall bring.
