Dr. Bush Injures
John McFarlan
News reached Athens yesterday
of a serious affair occuriug Satur
daj night near Ashland, Franklin
county, in which John McFarlan,
a prominent planter,was seriously,
probably fatally injured by Dr.
Geo. F. Bush. Yesterday altcruoon
it was report'd that McFarlan was
still alive but it was not thought
that he could survive. l>r. Bush
who wounded him gave what as
si dance he could as a medical man
to the injured neighbor.
The story comes to the Ban
ner is that McFarlan had some live
stock to get out of the lot and into
the place of Dr. Bush. l)r.Bush no
tilied McFarlan and the latter, ex
pcctiug that he might In 1 charged for
the taking up of the cattle, was in no
good humor—it is said lie was
drinking.
McFarlan, after the dilfe ally, left
and it,was several hours before he
could be found —wandering around
m the woods a mile aw a\ . He was
out of his head and since has been
in a precarious condition. Dr.
Bush’s friends claim self defense
lot him.— Athens Banner.
Quiet Enough, but—
When un Irishman was fined for be-
Ins drunk at Tallaght. County Dublin,
the chairman asked if the man was
quiet at the time of the offense. A
Constable —"Yes. your worship. He
had some of his clothes off and was
saving his prayers on the roadside. H*
thought he was cuing to bed."
But They Generally Do.
A man with a big voice and broad
shoulders can always get a reputation
lor being wise If he doesn't Insist on
talking too much.

RAW PRUNES AS LAXATIVE.
Raw prunes arte recommended
by the author of the ‘'Preston
Papers," In “Life and Health,"
as a remedy for constipation. An
evening meal may well be made
of prunes aione, or with figs,
which are also laxative. If
prunes are fitesh they need no
cooking. They should be wash
ed and soaked for 12 hours. The
skins should be excluded. The
California sweet prune is the
best, requiring no added sugar.
A gentleman in Illinois has
eaten prunes only for supper for
more than three years, taking
the proteid meal, wheat bread
and nuts, at noon, and he has
had perfect health during that
time.

RECOVERING HEALTH,
Germs are the natural means
of reducing dead or dying mat
ter back to its original rie
ments. Nutrition is the means
by which the elements are
made to maintain life. Only
when the processes of nutri
tion fall or are weakened, are
the germs required to perform
their proper function—the total
failure of which would soon
make life Impossible. The low
ering of vitatty through over
work, worry or autointoxica
tion I* a predisposing ca to
any disease, seen particularly
In the contraction of pneumonia
or consumption. Infections
need to be combatted and
there are all artificial means to
assist nature in antedating and
overcoming Infections and of
aiding her In strengthening vi
tal resistance. The body may
be regarded as a nutritional ma
chine that needs to be kept in
good running order, by adjust
ment and repairing, but the es
sential fundamental condition
for the maintaining and restor
ing of health is the mainte
nance of normal, vigorous nutri
tion by simple, wholesome food,
pure air, water, sunshine, ex
ercise and good mental condi
tions. The recovery of heai*!i
depends upon discovering the
nature of the abnormal condi
tions that constitute disease,
removing the causes, and lead
ing back gradually aid care
fully to the normal conditions.
Violent means and sudden
changes are to be avoided al
ways.

Several inquiries have teen
received In regard to cnpclis.ed
rice. It has been explained that
the polished :i:e in cemr -i use
has been milled as wheat is
milled, having the outer coat
removed, which contains n *
of the nitrogenous eiemo-’ md
seme of the mineral. Then !h■*
grain ir coated with giucc: : and
ta'c, w! ich should be cat ."y
washed off after resting ••• ne i
the polished rice is used The
difference between the r T and
and unmilled rico is m, > t' e
same as be?%veen milled .-hire
flcur a r d the whole wheat. The
unpo'itr.cd rice should i * eft
mora than the pohrhed. ! *
there is little demand for it, it
may ccst mere In seme places
on account cf the extra charge
for transportation cf r r.rall
quantity. The reader wh- ,nks
that I am responsible for ‘ boost

sufficient demand unpolished
