Work Day for the Orphans
A layman of our city conceived
the idea of every well wisher of
| the work of saving the orphaned
I children of our state and South
land, contributing the value of one
day ’s work annually to this cause.
This has been several years ago.
The first contribution was secured
for the Decatur Orphans’ Home,
amouting to *BOO.OO. and has
grown steadily from year to year
until it reached one year the sum
of 0,500 for this one Institution
Many other Orphanages took up
the movement and it has spread
until scores ol Homes have been
greatly bene fitted by it.
October the lltli is the day set
apart this year and we are in hopes
that every friend of the orphans
will come to their rescue with as
large a contribution as they feel able
fo give.
This year has been a v ery pros
perous one oil over the states and
the price of cotton is better than
for many years. 1 am making
this statement just prior to Work
Day to remind the friends of the
orphanage work not to forget the
children on Oct. 12th. They can
send their gift t > the Home of their

Wonderful Peroration.
A lawyer, more fluent in Ills speech
than careful in his metaphors, was
once guilty of the. following perora
tion: '’Gentlemen, it will be for you
to say whether ibis defendant shall
be allowed to come into court with
unblushing footsteps, with (lie "cloak
of hypocrisy in h.s mouth, and draw
three bullocks out of my client’s pock
et with impunity."

DIET AND HEALTH

MONODIET AND DIGEBTION.
Professor Goodfellow, the
well-known English Authority on
bread, says that when milk Is
eaten with bread, the digestion
of the bread is 10 per cent, less
complete. This would naturally
follow from the principles of
the monodiet already explained.
There are few better combina
tions than bread and milk, but
no combination Is perfect. Dr.
Porter and others who have had
much experience with the milk
diet Insist that for the best re
sults nothing must be taken
with the milk. Those foods
should be combined which are
most compatible.

Does Memory Go on Strike?
Can the human memory go on
strike, leaving the other tangible and
Intangible parts of the mental and

explain the strange disappearances
