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 'Beautiful Gracewood Has Fifty Chil dren Linder Treatment. 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 hre all that can lie handled with the made.

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.— London Bally News. Solve Commuting Problem. Residents of Kalabagh, on the In dus river in India, have solved the 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 cept for tliis small valley. In tiie morning the villagers walk to the valley, but in the evening they inflate goatskin bags which each man .•tirrics, and wade out into the swift stream of the river. This carries (hem rapidly down stream, and steering with their hands they can reach the bank just outside the small, cmd walled houses in which they 1 iv^ COUNTY LINE NEWS Mr. J. G.

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. ▼HE W-IXDKB NEWS 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 sembles the quartz pebbles among which it grows.
