NEWS OF THE WEEK WITH
OUR RURAL CORRESPONDENTS
RANDOM NOTES
By Old Caesar.
Last Friday morning, the 20th
inst., the charming Miss Maggie
Lou Chambers came in her prancing
Chevrolet and took Old Caesar
aboard, then in another dash we
added to our party the winsome Miss
Doris Still, then we headed for Oak
Grove church, Miller county. At
Blakely we’turrfed on the highway
leading direct to Oak Grove church.
On our arrival at the church we
were met by Mrs. Lester McDonald,
who made us welcome. Then came
that old veteran soldier of the cross,
Rev. W. A. McDonald, and Mr. W.
R. Houston, of Oak Grove church,
Mr. James Cheshire of Macedonia
church, Messrs. R. B. Pyle and E,
T. Reed of Cedar Springs, Mr. Jack
Harris of Lucile. I knew by the
crowd of children and young people
that surrounded them that they were
there in full force. As I looked on
these smiling faces, for a few minutes
I stood transfixed, turned backward.
At about the same hour forty
three years ago, June 20, 1887, this
grand old convention was organized
in Decatur county, with two Sunday
Schools —the King school house Sun
day School (Methodist), and the
Lynn school house Sunday School
(Free Will Baptist). But as the
history will come out later, will get
back to Friday’s work. The house
was called to order by the President,
Mr. James Cheshire. After devo
tional service, the welcome to the
Sunday Schools was extended by
Oak Grove Sunday School; respond
ed to by Mr. T. G. Williams, Pine
View School, Zion school was called,
and J. W. Anglin reported the stand
ing of the school, followed by Miss
Doris Still with the subject, “Does
Jesus Care?”
Space will not admit of giving a
full detail of each school, but suffice
to say that it was the best. Each
School responded as called with a
smiling, happy group of boys and
girls, who proved that much had
■been done in training them for fu
ture service.
But dinner is announced out in
the grove, a long table filled, round
ed up and running over with the
most delicious edibles, and about;
three hundred failed to clear it of
its dainty viands. There was enough
left apparently to feed as many
more.
After the noon hour the house
was called to order by the President.
Devotional service was conducted by
T. G. Williams. Two subjects were
handed in for discussion. First, “Are
our Sunday Schools Progressing?”
led by T. G. Williams. Second, “The
Value of Keeping the Records of
Our Work,” led by J. W. Anglin.
After a delightful afternoon ses
sion we adjourned, to meet with Ce
dar Springs Sunday School at the
church, in June. 1981.
Next Sunday afternoon an election
will be held in Zion Sunday School
to elect a Superintendent. We want
a leader, fearless, bold and conse
crated, one who will lead every Sun
day and not be a back-seater. Be
with us in full force. Let’s get our
school on the front line and keep
it there, and prove that our fathers
made no mistake when they placed
the banner of Zion in our hands.
WILL CLEAN UP THE
ENTERPRISE CEMETERY
The News has been requested to
announce that the cemetery of Enter
prise Free Will Baptist church will
be cleaned off on July third. Those
who have friends and loved ones
buried there are asked to come and
help with the work. The revival
meeting will begin on July fifth.
Everybody is cordially invited to at
tend.

Prevention of Old Age May
Be Reality in Near Future
Chicago, Ill.—lrving S. Cutter,
dean of Northwestern University
Medical School, believes a method of
delaying old age soon may be an
open secret.
Describing laboratory experiments
conducted in the school and in wards
of the Passavant hospital, of which
he is superintendent, Dr. Cutter
said:
“It has been shown that retention
of fluids in the body may be con
trolled almost at will, increased or
decreased by careful management
based upon a bichemistry blood anal
ysis. This study bids fair to be
of utmost importance in prolonging
the lives of patients suffering oe
dema.
Oedema, he described, is an ac
cumulation of excess fluid in the
1 body tissue, caused by factors close
ly paralleling those influencing the
| rapid onslaught of old age.
“Scientists have reason to be
lieve that, succeeding in a treatment
|of oedema, they may defy old age,”
he said.
RABBITS LEAD WORLD
AS FUR PRODUCERS
Two Hundred Million Pelt* Yearly, !
German Figures Show.
Bunny leads all animals of the j
world as a fur producer, says statis-!
tics published in connection with
the coming international fur expo
sition at Leipzig.
The humble rabbit yields 200,000,-
000 pelts annually, and next comes
sheep, with 26,000,000, moles, with
20,000,000, and muskrats, with 16,-
500,000.
That just as many cats as foxes
are slain to provide trimming for
women’s costumes is shown by the
tie of those two animals at 1,750,-
000. Gradual extinction of a spe
cies is indicated by the fact that
only 500 chinchilla skins reach world
markets each year.
Why Anaesthetics Cause
Unconsciousness Revealed
‘lthaca, N. Y.—Discovery of the
reason why anaethetics cause un
consciousness was announced last
week at Cornell University, accord
ing to Howard W. Blakeslee, Asso
ciated Press Science Editor.
They cause nerve cells to become
thick and white, like tiny hard-boiled
eggs. Oblivion accompanies this
change, and consciousness does not
return until the cells resume their
normal state.
An amazing part of the discovery
is that a knockout blow on the head
or the coma of narcotics or intoxi
cation all produce similar cell
changes. Thus the “kick” in a drink
is actually in effect like a physical
blow. “Boiled,” “stewed” and
“stuff” applied to drug and drink
effects are more than slang, they are
the simple truth about changes in
visible to the eye.
The discoveries linked together
physical states formerly considered
quite distinct, and open a new field
for developing drug uses.
They were reported to the eighth
colloid symposium by Dr. G. H.
Cornell, who worked under direction
of Dr. Wilder D. Bancroft, professor
of physical chemistry. They are
results of studies in colloid chemistry,
one of the newer branches of science.
Colloids are substances made of
drops, bubbles, grains, filaments or
films. The cells of the human body
are cornposed largely of colloids.
“Researches just completed” said
Dr. Richter, “indicates the basic
phenomenon back of all known types
of narcosis or anaesthesia. This is
reversible coagulation of the cell
colloids. This means precipitation
of the material, such as produced
in eggs when they are cooked. The
phenomenon differs from the coagula
tion of eggs in that it will return to
its original state when the narcotic
agent is removed.
“While the earlier periods of civili- j
zation did not posess the great num- j
her of narcotics known today they
did develop one that had the out-!
standing advantage of universal dis- j
tribution and cheapness. This method ;
was to strike the patient with a ham
mer or some other object.
“Direct observations with ultra
microscopes have revealed the com
plete changes in colloidal systems of
an organism undergoing narcosis and
recovery. These changes were pho
togiaphed. j
“When the organism is heated,
cooled, shocked by electricity, treat
ed with alchhol, chloroform or ether, 1
etc., the changes are identical —
namely coagulation.
“One thing handering the develop-1
ment of new drugs has been lack of
understanding of the mechanism by
which they act. Discovery that;
slight changes in the colloids of the !
body produce profound physical and
mental changes will suggest many |
new methods of attack on important j
medical problems."

Widespread Thrift Is
Best Method of
Stabilizing Business
By S. W. STRAUS, President, American
Society for Thrift.
It is quite apparent that the tide
of popular thrift in America is
steadily rising. Reports show a con
stant gain in savings bank deposits.
Less money is being spent on need
less extravagance; less expensive
forms of luxuries are gaining in
popularity; greater labor efficiency
has developed; a more cautious and
conservative attitude is being shown
in the matter of investments. The
blue sky promoter and the get-rich
quick type of financier are not hav
ing it as easy now as during the
last four or five years. There is a
growing tendency to eliminate all
forms of waste. People generally
are striving to make every dollar go
as far as possible and utilize every
day to the best advantage.
There is, of course, nothing un
usual in these manifestations. During
periods of depressed business and
unemployment there has always been
an increase in thrift. To some ex
tent it is psychological.
It is indeed an eloquent tribute
to the value of thrift as a means
of bringing about ecomomic read
justments. As popular savings grow
and as day by day economies and
personal efficiency becomes more
widespread, there w’ill gradually de
veloped an era of increasing pros
perity.
Fundamentally prosperous condi
tions can only exist on the solid foun
dation of popular thrift. Inflation,
unsound activities, popular over
spending and over-extended credit
may bring the semblance of pros
perity at times but these conditions
cannot last and must inevitably be
followed by a cycle of deflation and
a let-down in business.
In the laudable efforts continually
being made to bring business and in
dustrial activities to permanent nor
mal levels, eliminating booms and
depressions alike, it should be borne
in mind that there can be no great
er stabilizing influence than wide
spread thrift by the people.
Fixed and prudent habits of sav
ing, spending and investing by the
masses of the people would do more
to insure continued good times than
any other influence that could be j
brought to bear.

RELIEF FROM CURSE
OF CONSTIPATION
A Battle Creek physician says,
“Constipation is responsible for more
misery than any other cause.”
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Rexall Order
lies has been discovered. This tab
let attracts water from the system
into the lazy, dry, evacuating bow
el called the colon. The water loos
ens the dry food waste and causes a
gentle, thorough, natural movement
without forming a habit or ever in
creasing the dose.
Stop suffering from constipation.
Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night.
Next day bright. Get 24 for 25c to
