Thing* You Should Know
by John Joseph Gaines, M. D.
COMMITTING SUICIDE
Any one w'; > suddenly ends his
life vohinurily, by his own act, is
a suicide. I believe that one who
ends or shortens bis existence slowly
—perhaps unconsciou. ly — commits
the same unwholesome dec k
FTWl somewhere that civilization
has added seven hundred Jar tides of
food to our overworked dietary!
Think 6f it, in the face of the fact
that .the- human body, needs actually
only a half-dozen! I feel sure that
the seven hundred arc only modifica
tions, mixtures, and adulterations of
the few food-units required. In place
of plain bread and butter, fruits and
meats, we are eating distillates, fer
mentations, hashes and conglomera
tions, sugared pyramids, and highly
dynamized temptations to depraved
appetites, which wreak destruction by
slow but certain stages on the bodies
that are, from hour to hour stufied
with them, snitidc? I know of no
better word to employ.
Our advertising pages, woman s
magazines and newspapers are lla:n-
ing with colored illustrations of sat
urated, „ Striped, and colored defiers
of digestion. New recipes are almost
daily added, that seem irresistible—
as if plain, wholesome food were not
inestimably better for sound sleep
and good health! Our people con
sume tons and tons of sugar in
myriad forms each year. Commer
cialism know’s that the easiest route
to the pockct;J*)ok is by way of the
appetite.
There is no argument against that
for long, healthy, comfortable life.
v Every octog'ftoaifia'iu even centenari
an. is a living convincing witness for
plain food, temperate living, and sound
sleep. Every man that dies at fifty-
five of “heart failur#’- “cerebral
hemorrhage” and “acute indigestion”
is a. terrible indictment of the gas
tronomic debauches of our people
of today. Life is too precious to be
frittered away by dissipation.
If you want a good figure, healthy
muscles, sound brain, and elastic s'cp,-
cling to the simple diet and steady
employment. ■-

AT THE AGE CF FORTY
AN $I10,0M,C(;Q IDEA
The Reverend Dr. Cadman re
marks that “This pl%net may exist
for nearly a million billion years
longer.’”— Am. anxious Christian
An anxious
asks, “Do you'believe that the soul
sleeps in the grave with the body
a million billion years, waiting for
the judgment? If I really be
lieved it, 1 think I should try to
have a pretty good time while still
in the flesh.”
The Reverend Dr. Cadman tells
the inquiring soul that when you
are 'oncbnscious a million billion
years seems no longer than a min
ute and a half, and tells the soul:
“It is better to awake from a pro
longed torpor with clean recollec
tions in your conscious past than
a^ a moral idiot.”
The child that “can't .wait a
week for Christmas” - and the
Christian “that can’t wait a mil
lion billion y-ears for the judgment
day” are both interesting, and
both children mentally.

Hail and Snow
Hail and snow are simply forms* of
water and there Is nothing about
them that Is used in making explo
sives. The verses of the Bible fr
quently referred to In this connecjdon
do not indicate they are used f(>/ e.v
plosives: “Hast thou entered into
the treasuries of the snow/or hasq
thou seen the treasures of the hail,
which I have reserved against the
time of trouble, against the day of
battle and war?" These lines, put
Into the mouth of the Deity, refer to
man’s ignorance and weakness against
the natural forces of snow and hail.

Pertian City Leaiu in
Production of Henna
An Important Industry of -Yezd, Per
sia, is the manufacture of henna. This
product Is used to wash and color the
hair and to stain the finger nails red—
yes, many people here have red finger
nails. I saw colored lambs, and sev
eral horses whose manes and fetlocks
were dyed fox red with henna.
Henna leaves* come from the sou
principally from the Bam districty^nd
Yezd supplies all Persia and the sur
rounding countries with this d^e. The
Ik) or more henna mills In the city are
so completely inclosed that it Is diffi
cult to see what goes on/Wlthin.
In the late evening a/camel, covered
with henna dust, ojferates the mill,
plodding in 6 circle in the half dark
ness. A s-mall rmnid basket covers hia
eyes to prevent/fiim from getting dizzy.
One receives/ an impression of un
reality, of something brought from an
other woptu.
The null is very primitive, standing
abouy'six feet high, .while the mill
stored and the circular path around it
ar;e sunken. Everything la covered
rith henna dust. From time to time
a little boy shovels the powder Into
heavy Jugs.—Bernhard Kellermapn in
Berliner Tageblatt (Living Age).
Texas wants bank bandits, and
wants them dead. Texas banks
carry this sign: “$5,000 ^for each
dead bank robber—not one cent
for 100 live ones.”
Banks don’t want live robbers
because they are hard to identify,
hard to convict, hardly ever kept
in jhe jJuenitentiary after going
there.
Thissmay discourage bank rob
bing. It will impress on bank
robbers the fact that they must
kill first, or be killed.' - r
* Mr. Babe Ruth amazes “sporty
dom" *by saying, “nearing

two
Long ago,/ear Batavia, N. Y., a
iboy was born and soon had an
idea. He once told this writer
how he/gave up smoking “extrav
agant / five-cent cigars/’ saving
money to carry out his plan and
his first car.
‘wo men slept in the upper,
in the lower berth, for fifty
cents apiece. Abraham Lincoln
was one of his first passengers,
going from Chicago to Springfield,
and was too long for the berth.
The other man protested. The
man selling the tickets beside the
car was George M. Pullman, and
now the Interstate Commerce
Commission fixes the value of his
Pullman company at $110,238,786,
which is far below its real, value.
Get a good idea, stick to it,
make sacrifices, and the Idea will
take care of you, later.

Earliest Public Libraries
It is impossible to determine which
whs the first library In the United
States supported by public funds and
wholly free to its users. The earliest
recorded gift of hooks to a munici
pality Is* that of Rev. John Sharp, who
’ In 1700 bequeathed his library to the
( city of New York for the benefit of
the people. The town library of
r
the efforts of Rev. Abiel Abbot in
1833, appears to have been the first
free library which has continued to
tJje present day.
Large Mouth, Small Throat
The throat of the giant sperm
Is said to be large enough for The
passage of an object about the/slze
of a man’s waist. The food ^dnsists
largely of cuttlefish, but fishes' not
larger than the bonito and the albl-
core are found jn its stomach. The
sperm whale is* the onjy large whale
which feeds upon fish. The blue whale,
the largest animal alive today, reach
ing a length In excess of 80 feet, with
a mouth so lar^e that ten to twelve
men could stand |herein, has a throat
about 8 inches in diameter.

ther the Contrary *
Carried away by the beauty of the
herdine on the screen, he mvitnured,
ipiconsplcuously, “Isn’t she lovely !”^
/ “Every time you see a pretty girl
you forget you’re married,” snapped
hia better half.
‘tYotfre wrong, my dear; nothing
brings home the fact'with so much
force.”
There can’t be any ghosts, or some
of the present crop of biographers
wouldn’t get much sleep.
Mrs. Hickman, mother of the
Lds Angeles kidnaper, will testify
that she was cnce insane and at
tempted suicide, thus seeking to
save her son by a plea of hered^
itiry insanffy. ^ _
It is not conceivable that any
thing could save that murderer
from the extreme penalty,
crime almost as great as his o^n
was lightly locking this ydung
criminal up and lightly- letting him
out again on former occasions.
The learned Dr. Stqekard, pro
fessor of anatomy at Cornell Uni
versity has experimented with
alcohol on five thousand guinea
pigs during seventeen years. This
is his conclusiory
“Guinea pigs ddunk with al
cohol are, if ap^thing, a little
healthier than teetotal guinea
pi^s and live/just as long. One
guinea pnj; was made drunk
with alcohol six days every
week and his health was per^
feet.”
Tut /first, the • guinea pig bas
nothing to do but eat. breath and
.dig/st. He doesn t need to y?e his
brain Second, the kind college
irofcssor fave„ good alcolkhL4o his
drunken guinea pigs, not boot

G. M. ( Greene, Esq., Master for
Barnwell County, held a reference
here Monday on the proposed incor-

election was held some time ago,
which resulted in a favorable vote,
fiut it seems that those opposed to
