l'HM KM FOB FOOD
Ono question of vital .interest to the
United States in coonection wltli the
Kuropean war is the disconcerting in
crease in the price of food commodi
ties Ih it Justified on KOkiu article??
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

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. Austriu-IIungary has 201,035

HEVEHHAL OF FORM
Of the 26 barons who signed- the

now. Each baron can write, but on
ly a few succeed in making their
mark.
The thing that this state needB most
of all Is to have some candidates in
dieted for libel and given public Jobs
?on chaingangs.
This would bo a psychological mo
ment to forget to feed some of the
militant suffs who are on a hunger

o O O O Q O ' O O O O O O O
Editor The Intelligencer :
Please ullow me space in your paper
to Bpeuk of a very pleasant day spent
in the country on Thursday, August
20. 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 Spearm-.u invoked the dl-,
vine blessing, and then?well, I will
not undertake to describe that meal.
Sut f ice it to iay, that everything good I
to out was on the ' table, from fried !
chicken up to, or down to, apple and
peuch pie and pound cuke. The ever
present photographer was present,]
and a good picture of the crowd'was1
secured. Th? young men and ladies
then sought the carriages and buggies
to?well, you old people remember
bow it used to be with you on such
(occasions
The older men divided into groups 1
under the spreading oaks and diu-1
cussed pollticj, religion, and agricul
ture, and tho married women assem
bled hi the house to talk about old1
times und old friends, many of whom]
had passed over the river.
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. He has 11 v 1
in g near him. five daughters and oho
son, all happily married and following
in the footsteps of their worthy par
ents.
ri>f
If some of the men in our county,
who are disposed ,ip criticise and
abuse other men. WAO .have, made,a
success in life, had. followed the er
ample of this good old. man. how much
happier and independent they; would
have been. ?:,..
In conclusion, let me Bay, that the
day was a happy and pleasant one,
and everybody returned to their
homes closer bound together, by the
ties of love and friendship.

In the Mississippi primaries, held
on Tuesday, all the congressmen of
that state who had opposition were
renomlnated.
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.
