The frost and freeze that succeeded |he torrid spell which generated floods knd cyclones, killed the most of the oung peaches, but there will be some left, unless they fall off in dry old fummer tfme. I examined some trees today as I prove -ovef the farm and there was still' few well-grown young peaches, that |ooked healthy and promising. There have been such floods of rain [hat a dry spring might make the young [ruit drop off the stem, even though it doing fairly well at present—the fcant crop which is left. It goes without saying that we are ^oing to miss the peach crop, nearly as nuch any any other money-making crop |n Georgia, especially in the very fa vored sections where peaches are grown pn magnificent acreage, and where early Shipments reach the northern markets, |n refrigerator cars? and bring big noney. A short peacl^ crop, like a short cot- ion crop, always increases the price, and [he total loss of the peach crop means wholesale and irreparable loss to the fwners. Perhaps we will find a way to ward ►ff the deadly frost after a while, and [aise peaches as they do in California, [y irrigation. I have seen so many improvements my three-quarters of a century that should not be surprised to see peaches laised under glass, as they do ip some farts of England, even in Georgia. THE TENDER, SMIIiZNG GREEN. As I sat on my front porch yesterday [nd looked across to the hills, I thought never saw the landscape, familiar as is, so smiling and beautiful in the larly springtime. The green is so deli- late and so tender in its pristine beauty. Every blade of grass is doing its little fest, and the bushes are simply hump* ng themselves to get on their new Ipring attire, ahead of the rest of green Ihings. You can discover that the foung leaves on the big oaks have aken on size since the day before, and [.lready there is a welcome shade, from tiese giant oaks, for the sun came down lot, and sent a hot pulse throughout Llf nature, to stir up the sap. Every light or so we And there has been a ■ttle shower, which, is enlivening the Irost-bitten buds, and helping them to Ipread out their crumpled edges, and |vergrow the scorched places in na- ure’s. beautiful spring gown. And it is all given in a thousand delicate shades, from the dark old pine trees that.have been rigidly dressed up all* winter, to the tiniest little sprout, which is so young that it is obliged to be a pale yellow, and still green. Like the shades in a young baby’s red face, the very young burs are simply a beautiful shade between a tender green and a cream color, until they get strength to wear a thicker and stronger color in green. But it is all green, the restful, clean, satisfying shade that is comforting, to old eyes, and gay but not gaudy. The Heavenly Master sends the rain and the sunshine ^nd then the green deepens and then it is “warranted to wear.” ENJOY YOURSELF TODAY. It’s today that I am livin’, Not a month ago: Havin’, losin’. takin’, givin’, As time wills it so. Yesterday a cloud of sorrow Fell across the way; T t may rain again tomorrow, It may rain—but say Ain’t it fine today? The real philosophy of life centers about what you do today—not yester day nor tomorrow. Ye terday is gone, with all its cares and sorrows, and tomorrow may not come to you, but today is yours and it will bring you a blessing or maybe a sorrow, but it is all you may count upon with certainty. Therefore enjoy it, as you go along. Last week we had a surfeit of flood news, the week before it was cyclone news, but it was all O. K. with the great majority of us, and we owe it ourselves and a protecting Provi dence to be as cheerful and as oblig ing as lies in our power. The flood sufferers have gone to work to clean up end doubtless are profoundly thank ful that they have' renewed blessings in sight, after the stress and strain that has been their portion. Surely, we who escaped both floods and cy clone should be as happy and as cheer ful f j Jthose who are picking up their burdens Tn the afflicted sections of our country. It is au amazing feature of all these great disasters that so few people are really drowned and blown into atoms. There seems to be a way provided so that scores are saved under the most alarming conditions. “It may rain again tomorrow. Ain’t it fine today?” YOU AND YOUR WIFE XVIII.—HER ALLOWANCE BY GRAHAM HOOD. The ordinary man, as we meet him in [veryday life, seems to possess few of he qualities of the miser. When among lis acquaintances he can hold up his end |f the costs of hospitality with strict egard for the proprieties. If he wants Inything very badly, and he sees his Jay to obtain it, he buys it—whether it a new tie or a latest model auto mobile. In many cases, however, the |rdinary man assumes a different atti- ude as he approaches his own fireside, [he spirit of generosity to the outside J'orld, he frequently exhibits symptoms hat are dangerously suggestive of act- lal penuriousness when it comes to the |uestion of adding a “wife’s allowance” his list of fixed charges. If it were possible to compile statis- les showing the real causes of all the parital infelicity which exists, we hould probably find that the financial luestioh is at the bottom of a goodly Iroportion of this evil—that the wife’s pfficulties in extracting money for her i uses froito an unwilling husband in many instances, made life an un- learable state of misery for both. I Young people who marry are inclined take too much for granted. Certain to the sincerity of the affection which liey feel for each other, they are in- pined to assume that life is to be com- osed exclusively of sunshining days, Ihen the bride’s smallest wish will fall Jith commanding force upon the willing ars of the groom. And it is this which dually occurs—for days or weeks or a |ionth or two. If the wife wants for nything the husband is eager to pro- lire it for her, and these purchases give |im so much pleasure that the subject stated allowance seldom suggests Iself. ] If life were one never-ending honey- loon the question of money might ad- pst itself, but as it is inevitable that he day must come when two lovers fill come back to things material, wife’s allowance should be a mat- fur early consideration. It is dan- jerous to let the discussion of this uestion be too long postponed. If LET US NOT PROMOTE EVIL By Bishop WHILE CORRECTING AN EVIL W. A. Candler the wife is possessed of a sensitive nature, she may bear many humilia tions of financial stringency in silence, feeling that if her husband realy loved her he Wuuld be quick to recognize her need and eager to meet it. It is not improbable, too, that the problems may occasionally ocur to him, but’ only to be dismissed with the thought that he is so willing to give her muney 1 whenever she has need for it that there is no reason why the subject of an allowance should trouble either of them. He forgets that, in taking this attitude, he places her in a position wheer she may be cumpeled to de scend to petty pilfering or to play the role of the humble supplicant to obtain something "which rightfully be longs to her. If the wife does her part in pro moting the interest of the home firm, it ife only fair that she should have a share in the profits. *She has duties and responsibilities as well as he, and she must meet them; she has social obli gations which cannot be evaded ex cept at the cost of humiliation, and if proper provisions for such exigencies are not made for him it may not be long before she may find it easier to secure this money through acts of du plicity—or worse—rather than humble herself to beg for the few dollars which she needs so badly'. It makes no difference how she -may elect to spe.nd this money. Suppose she should waste a dime or two now and then. Even he, perhaps may waste as much in ways to which he' makes little ref erence when in the home circle. And, in any case, it is his duty to see that she is afforded some means for the maintenance of her own ^elf-respect, for when a women is forced ta choose between going down on her knees to her husband ever ytime she needs a dollar for her own use and picking his Pocket as he lies in bed at night, the love, the happiness, and the honor of beta periliously close to the danger mark. When men would do good evil is often very present with them. They fall into wrong methods by putting undue em phasis on some things while overlook ing others; and thus they taint with wrong what they design for good only. Such has been the case with the re cent efforts put forth to investigate and correct “the social evil” in some of the great cities. There can be no worse evil, and too earnest effort cannot be made to put it away from the cities. Its vileness is unspeakable and its consequences are immeasurable. No man who cares for the welfare of mankind or the honour of God can be indifferent to plans look ing to its extirpation, or look with a critical eye upon those who are sin cerely trying to put it out of existence. Doubtless many causes enter into the production and propagation of this evil, and it is altogether wise to look care fully into its sources. They are not one, but many, and they should be most minutely and honestly investigated. But in all the investigations of the social evil, and in all the efforts put forth to remove it, great care tntist be taken that nothing be done to weaken moral life and set up low standards of conduct. It is to be feared that such care has not been taken always. There is reason to apprehend that in some of the investigations good men have pro ceeded upon an assumption which car ries with it the most demoralizing im plications. Some of them have as sumed that between this form of im morality and the low wages paid to working girls In the cities there is an inevitable and invariable connection of cause and effect. Now no one will deny that the wages paid working girls in the cities are often shamefully inadequate, and it is quite possible, not to say probable, that a low wage in some cases has made the resistance of temptation more diffi cult and the lapse from virtue more easy. The withholding of a living wage is to be roundly condemned, and its small wages, and they lie in wait for me game which they imagine may be £>o easily taken. Upon this subject the New York Titnes printed recently a very thought ful and wise editorial. The editor, among other things, said: Reasonable persons would admit that a too scanty wage, by making it more difficult to resist tempta tion, would in many cases render easier the lapse from virtue. But when from the testimony given the assumption is made that low wages are a chief contributing cause of immorality, and when in particular testimony is given and is gravely commented upon as if it were, the* statement of a social fact, to the effect that reproach must be with held when the scantiness of the wage is given as the reason for trans gression, then it becomes evident that the investigation and the dis- cusssion are productive of vastly more harm than good. If these crude and hasty assump tions were true, if this relation be tween wages and virtue is accepted as established, if we must believe that the bulwarks of morality are to be sought in economic conditions, then millions upon millions of ser mons that have been preached through the long centuries and are preached today are shown to be false and futile, the theory of the moral sentiments must be discarded, and all our prevailing standards of right conduct will be overthrown. The emotions are a highly unsafe guide in the search for economic or social truth, and the discussion of the evidence given in Chicago has been in great part purely emo tional. The light of relation and of experience seems to have been extinguished or obscured while these matters have been talked about. To assume that virtue and purity are merely a question of the differ ence between $6 a week and $8 a we’ek is to leave quite out of sight the influence of home training and association, and to deny all saving influence in the innate moral sense. Under the teachings of such a doc trine human society would undergo frightful depredation. It is amaz- inz that ministers of the Gospel- do not see the tendency of the line of thought and discussion so light ly entered upon. We should sup pose that they would thunder from the pulpit their denunciation of these week-old theories that, if. they gained a general acceptance, would deprive the Church of influence and its moral teachings of all value. The editor of the Times is correct, in these views, which he expresses so clearly and cogently i «nd there are some things which his words sug gest that are scarcely less important. If the notiuA is set going that a cheap wage explains every lapse from virtue, the inevitable inference * from that is that a hard life amply justifies a fall from purity, or, at least excuses and extenuates the sin. This idea naturally encourages weak girls to fall into sin; it takes the keen sense of virtue away and invites to evil. Since the days of the sentimental “Song of the Shirt” there has been too much mistaken talk uf the sort that makes sinners fall into self-pity; and self-pity always operates to weaken moral resolution and Increase moral failures. That which one is led to be lieve can not be helped one feels no compunctions in doing and small sor row for it after it is done. Coddling drunkards and petting vice always in crease the stock of intemperance and impurity in the community. Sobriety is not an impossibility to any man, whatever may be his hered ity or his environment; purity can be maintained and ought to be maintained, and in multiplied thousands of cases is maintained, ^n the face of starvation and sorest temptation. Virtue of every sort is no virtue at all unless it is unpurchasable. Stern as these senti ments may seem, they ought to be pro claimed as the axioms of all sound and saving ethics. Moreover, the whole community may easily shuffle off upon the shoulders of employers of working girls blame which belongs to itself. There is a mania for cheapness which ofteh puts merchants into great perplexity. A rich man or woman owns the store In which a merchant conducts his busi ness, and demands a high rental; but the same person also demands of the merchant the very lowest . possible prices for his goods. What is he to do in such a case? He generally does what others do; he tries to buy what he must buy as cheaply as possible, the labour of his clerks included. Hence the low wages to shop-girls. The bar gain-counter frequenters are somewhat responsible in this matter of low wages. Again there has been a popular de mand to have young women enter trade; the supply of such clerks is very large, and the wages paid them have yieldca to the law of supply and demand, and haver-fallen. No legislation looking to the fixing of a minimum wage can remedy this evil. The editor of the Times says upon this point most truly these self-evident trutns: The legislative remedies proposed for the bettering of social condi tions are as unbound as the theories from which they proceed. Even an amateur in social uplift ought to see that a general and forced in crease of wages would certainly have two results—a very great in crease in applications for employ ment and a raising of standards of efficiency and intelligence. Perhaps some of the theorists can tell how a girl now getting $6 or $7 a week would be safer if she was gettipg nothing a week. Yet that would be the result of the minimum wage venture. The least capable would inevitably be unemployed, and the submerged tenth that there used to be so much talk about would be de noted by a larger fraction. The remedy is not in legislation, nor in any of the hysterical reforms that cry in our streets: The tide which is carrying too many women into trade must be turned backward to the home. Young men who ought to be married and caring for pure young wiyes in plain Christian homes are without em- IS. HOKE SMITH NOT SO WELL ON FRIDAY Senator Smith Absents Him self From Committee on Ac count of Wife’s Illness BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, April 7.—Mrs. Hoke Smith, who suffered a collapse Tuesday night following an attack of indiges tion; was not so well this morning, and Senator Smith absented himself from the meeting of the finance committee on that account.. Dr. Sterling Ruffin, who attended Mrs. Smith, does not regard her condition as serious today, but she is very weak and spent a restless nibht. The president and Mrs. Wilson called at the residence of Senator Smith yes terday afternoon to inquire after Mrs. Smith. They left a beautiful bunch of American Beauty roses, and expressed great satisfaction at learning that her condition was not critical. 200 LABORERS ARE CAUGHT IN AVALANCHE ROME, April 5.—Two hundred laborers and engineers working on the Nurka pass across (tlie Alps were blockaded yesterday by the fall of an avalanche near Domodosolla. Some of them have •already died from exposure and grave anxiety is felt whether it will be posssi- ble to rescue the remainder. A spell of cold weather set in today throughout Italy.

FAIRBANK COMPANY LIFE RAFTS PLACED IN CAIRO READY FOR FLOOD Rain Swells Rivers to Extent That People Prepare for 'the Worst CAIRO, Ill., April 7.—In their anx iety to prevent the levee from breaking on the Ohio river side of Cairo, citizens overlooked any danger which might come from the Mississippi river side with the result . that. a force of work men had to be rushed there early to day when a washout was threatened be tween Nineteenth and Twenty-fourth streets. High winds had caused the river to ; cut into the bank to such an extent that the danger was imminent before it was discovered. Several bags of sand were hurriedly carried to the place from'the Ohio river levee in automobiles and further ero sion of the bank was prevented for the time. The water on the ,Mississippi side is well below the levee top. Arangements being made by Lieuten ant Buckner, United States army, for the safety of the people went ahead today, and it was expected that by night small life rafts would be placed throughout the city in readiness for a possible big brealt. Believing that the precautions for saving life in Cairo in case the water flows into the town have been made about as complete as they can be with the facilities at hand, Lieutenant Buck ner today diverted his attention to the countryside. AID SENT TO FARMERS. Four non-ommissioned officers, who accompanied the lieutenant here from Paducah, were assigned to investigate the needs of the farmers who may have cattle or other live stock in danger. Two of these officers with a group of men started for “Dog Tooth Bend,” that portion of the Mississippi which forms one of the two southern peninsulas of Illinois. It was reported in that vicinity were in danger of losing cattle. It Is the plan to carry them out with ferryboats. Another expedition was sent to the Kentucky side of the Ohio with sim ilar equipment for the aid of farm ers. “I believe we c#uld now take care of every soul V in Cairo,” said Lieutenant Buckner, “provided, of course, the wa ter did not come in with a rush.” Later in the day the sun came out brightly and the weather became warm again. The gauge continued to hover about 54.7, with no noticeable change. Flood waters in the Ohio j began to rise again early to- ! day and at 7 o’clock the gauge read-J ing was 54.7. The water had hovered'j about the 54.6 mark for nearly 12 [ hours despite a steady rain. The banking of sand bags at Four- j teenth street was found to be permit- ! ting a considerable amount of seep- | age early today and all the workmen j available were gathered there to rein- j force it. The condition was not con- j sidered alarming. Reports from Reelfoot levee dis- j trict said that 1,000 men were work- J ing to save a break in the dikes of j that section. A break there would bring relief here within less than an hour. The weather today was chilly and the wind had swept to the north. Con sidered from every standpoint, condi tions were regarded as nopeful for at least another week.

Ever since the human <$iet has been studied in a scientific manner the prin ciple has become established that the average human being requires for his daily consumption four ounces of pro tein matter. This protein matter, as it is called, is the chief nutritive prin ciple of all foods derived from 'animal sources. Thus, for instance, the meats of the different animals supply protein material. Fish, eggs, cheese and milk rank among the most important sources of this nutritive principle so essential to the maintenance of a sound physical constitution. The vegetables, as a rule, have very little protein. But there are some ex ceptions. The dried bean, for example, contains a^. much protein material as some of the meats. The cereals are very rich in this foodstuff, oatmeal having as much as 16 per cent. Bread and nuts are also among the foods well supplied with protein matter. It is for this reason that the cereals and the legumes, such as peas and beans, are of great( value as side dishes to meat. They supply part of the protein in the form of vegetable instead of animal U. S. TO PROBE CHARGE OF CRUELTY TO AMERICAN SUFFRAGIST IN LONDON (By Associated Press. 1 WASHINGTON, April 7.—Officials at the state department today said the attitude of the United States in the case of Miss Zelie Emerson, the Amer ican militant suffragette imprisoned in London, would be determined after the receipt of a further report from the London embassy, which was or dered to investigate charges that the young woman had been subjected to cruel treatment. It was pointed out today that if Mrs. Emerson, mother of the young woman has complained to the embassy, it must have been subsequent to the sending of Charge Laughlin’s report of yester day, which said the mother had filed no charges, although she was granted an hour’s interview with her daughter. Secretary Bryan will immediately take up with Chandler Anderson, the counsellor of the department, the ques tion of what is to be done. Practic ally, there are no precedents bearing closely upon it, the nearest being the Maybrick case, when some of the high est officials in the United States peti- FREE TO YOU—MY SISTER BUCHANAN SUCCEEDS BURLESON IN HOUSE (By Associated Press.)

Not only do these vegetables serve as good sub stitutes for part of the meat, but by vMrtue of the starches contained in them they also serve to give a wholesome mixed diet. Meat of the average quality contains about 20 per cent of proteins and 15 per cent of fat. The rest is water and other materials. Meat, therefore, is a highly concentrated food. , There is a great .deal of nutritive material in small bulk. T6 supply the same quantity through vegetables, the bulk of the food would become so large and the indiges- tible vegetable fibre so excessive as to embarrass the powers of digestion. Meat, then, is a real need in the ordinary man’s diet. One-half pound of meat daily will supply about two ounces of protein matter, or about one- half of the daily requirement. The other half should be supplied through the use of bread, cereals, and Vege tables. Through such moderate use of meat this wholesome and highly nutritious foodstuff could be hadd at comparatively little cost. tioned the British government to re lease the American woman from the prison where she was serving a life sentence. It was held by various secretaries, notably Blain and Hay, that there wa3 no warrant for a direct official request from the United States government for clemency in Mrs. Maybrick’s case, sinco the representations were unofficial, though made through the American embassy in London. Secretary Bryan w*snes first to es tablish the complete regularity of the judicial proceedings in the case of Miss Emerson, and if he follows the ordi nary course and ascertains there ha3 been no discrimination against the wo man on account of her nationality and that she has not been treated in a cru el and inhuman manner, forbidden by the principles of the law common to all nations, he likewise probably will confine himself to the exercise of his functions in an unofficia* way to secure an amelioration of Miss Emerson’s con dition.
