DANGER LURKS IN
SHAVING BRUSHES
* It is not always economy to buy
cheap things. A certain man in South
I
Georgia thought he was practicing
economy in buying a cheap shaving
brush. He used it one time and, in a
few days, a little pimple appeared on
hts neck. He thought nothing of it
until it began to swell and inflame
the tissues all Over his neck. In a
few days he died,, and his doctor was
intelligent enough to suspect anthrax
pustiiie. He found out about the shav
ing brush and sent it to the State
Hoard of Health Laboratory in Atlanta
snd anthrax germs were found buried
Jll the glued ends of the bristlfto.
Shaving brushes are, made from
horse hair and pig bristles imported
to this country from China, Japan and
'Russia. Cnless imported horse hair
Is carefully disinfected, it is apt to
contain germs of anthrax, a disease
•very common in these countries. Our
Government now enforces very rigid
regulations in regard to the disinfec
tion of imported hair. Brushes made
since these regulations went into ef
fect are apt to be safe enough. But
■we must still be on our guard against
liny brush which does not have the
prime and trade mark of some reliable
brush manufacturer.
A suspicious brush may he rendered
safe by soaking it for four hours in a
hot 10 per cent solution of formalin,
such as can Ire purchased from any
druggist.
FEEBLEMINDED SCHOOL OPEN

j,
. It appeared for a while as if the
School for Feeble-minded at Grace
-wood would not open, but by the in
terest of a number of our legislative
in embers an appropriation of $25,000
per year was finally given it, and it
has been possible to open with about
half of its capacity. There is room
at the institution for 100 without ad
iditfonal building, but it will be impos
sible to take more than 40, as these

made.
There are in our State several thou
sand who should receive the special
(training that can only be had in an in
Btitution of this kind, and it had been
hoped that at least 100 or
•150 would lie provided for. Many ap
plicants have already been turned
taway The State Board of Health
would like very much to take them
all if it onlv bad the money.

FEET MOST ABUSED MEMBERS
According to English Writer, Only
About One-Third of Humanity
Walk in Natural Manner.
The human foot is one of the most
beautiful and useful instruments ever
conceived, hut, unfortunately, it is not
what a motorist calls “foolproof,”
Tnere is a great deal of misunder
standing about our feet. We treat them
outrageously, us either custom or fash
ion may dictate. Asa result, about
one-third of the population is splay
footed, another third walks like a lien
on hot cinders, and the remaining
third may be said to walk fairly nat
ural.
The foot has a graceful arch run
ning fore and aft. \Vi> take this longi
tudinal arch, turn the toes outward
*<o that the heels meet at an angle of
45 degrees, and then put all our pres
sure in a skew direction across the
arch. No railway engineer would
dream of building a straight . arch
bridge to carry loads neither across
along the arch, but Irregularly
askew over it.
We ought to walk with our great
toe pointed straight In the direction
of progress, as Indian runners do, and
"spring from the great toe.” Instead,
most of ns “take otf” In a lumbering
sort of way from the ball of the great
toe.
The arch of the foot Is supported
largely by the tendon which runs un
der foot to the great toe itself, and
this neglect of use renders this ten
don weak arid lax, and causes depres
sion of the arch. The best care for
weak arch is the practice of raising
one's self upon the great toe. that is,
doing as a penalty exercise what you
should have done all along naturally.
If you will try when walking to keep
the feet straight, and to end each
stride with it little “spring” off each
big toe alternately, you will lie re
warded by finding that progress seems
easier, quicker and more buoyant.—

Solve Commuting Problem.
Residents of Kalabagh, on the In

problem of commuting between their
homes and tlie valley, three miles up
stream, where they till a very fertile
soil. The village is in u desert, ex

In tiie morning the villagers walk
to the valley, but in the evening they

QUALITIES THAT WIN SUCCESS
Probably the Greatest Among Theit.
Is That Subtle Something We
Know as Personality.
It takes more than mental ability
to make a man and more than the
qualities that are supposed to make
for success itself. It is not so much
what a man knows, or his ability In
applying It, us it Is in what he is
himself.
There lurks in some human beings,
in overflowing measure, that subtle
something termed personality which
is likely to carry them much farther
than anything else. Probably charac
tei*, courage and dependability are
the three great assets. Theodore
Roosevelt In'lds own biography writes
of the two kinds of success, the one
being the result of natural gifts,
tlie other being acquired slowly, and
adds: “I need hardly sfly that all the
successes 1 have ev)pr won have been
of the second type. 1 never won any
thing without hard labor and tlie ex
ercise of my best Judgment and care
ful planning and working long in ad
vanoe. I was as a young man at first
both nervous, and distrustful of my
own prowess. I had to train inysell
painfully und laboriously not merely
as regards my hotly, hut as regards
my soul and my spirit.” —Exchange,
City Largely Built on Piles.
A considerable part of tlie founda
tions of tlie city of Venice rests on
piles that were driven into the muddy
shallows of the Adriatic more than
1.000 years ago. The tallest structure
of the city for many years was the
campanile or bell tower of St. Mark’s
cathedral. It was a massive structure
of brick which rose to a height of
feet, and the piles for its foundation
were driven in the year 874. The first
campanile was built In 900. In 1329
the foundation was enlarged by driv
ing more piles, and tlie tower was re
built. In 15111 an earthquake brought
it tumbling down, but anew campanile
was immediately erected. This fell
July 14, 19011, owing to the gradual
failure of tlie foundation. New piles
were then driven and anew campuuile
wt>s erected in l!H)f> on a reinforced
concrete foundation.

Plant* That Mimic Stone*.
In South Africa a plant of the* genus
Mesembryanthemum, growing on stony
ground, so closely resembles a pebble
that it lias been picked up in mistake
for a stone. Another species of the
same plant, growing on the hills
around the Karru, produces two
leaves about as large as ducks’ eggs,
having a surface resembling weath
ered stone, of a brownish-gray color
tinged with green. These plants look
like stones, hut for a short time they
put forth bright yellow flowers. Still
another species of the same plant re
