But only Kcond to the soul is the body, mb care, protection and up- The commissioner ■of health of New York has ■ formulated what he terms the WiTen Health .Commandments, I each a preachment. They are: >"■' 1. Keep your mouth closed when breathing, also when an gry. 2. Prink cool water with your meals, also between them. p 3. Bathe daily, a shower, if possible. 4. Eat slowly, this leads to eating sparingly. Make , your meal a ceremonial pleasure. 5. Exercise daily and breathe deeply while so doing, but avoid <ver-exertion and never eat when fatigued. 6. Never read or transact any business while eating. 7. Work ten hours, sleep night and use the balance for re creation and meals. Always rest on Sunday. ,8. Ever keep a contented mind. Equanimity longev r »y , • Neglect no portion of the body. Employ a physician to ex amine you at regular intervals and so watch for the beginning of diseases and build up irestst gnce and pay some attention to . bis opinion and direction. Moderation in all things. Fein owing those ten health suggestions is easy for any nor mal person and undoubttdly they will add many days—many happy days—to life. And this is a pretty fine old. world, after all. At least few of us would voluntarily leave it today—or tomorrow. ' Sutnter Sixth On November Sth, Sumter county was in sixth place among the cotton producing counties of the state. According to statistics from the bureau of census for that date. Carroll county had ginned more cotton than any other Georgia county. The leading six counties were. Carroll! Z.. 27,083 Burke 26,547 Bulloch ~21,394 Emanuel 49,271 Laurens _ 19,656 Sumter 18,159 The total ginning for the state up to that date was 81 3,- 717 bales as compared with 488,919 for 1923- Sumter’s total crop for 1923 was 1 1,208 bales. i Fixing Responsibilities. \ Deploring the death of Mrs. ibert Stewart .wife of the k \>ze-fighting North Georgia k \chet pf Draketown, who W \ rutalljf murdered by whis- % tiers only Endurance Won A 59-year-old man raced a jockey-ridden horse in London, England, 10 hours a day for six days. The man, C. U. Hart, won. He ran 345 miles, the horse 337 miles- The horse could easily out distance the man—early in the race. But Hart had more* en durance. Power wins battles. Endur ance wins the war. It’s like the prizefighter who "didn't know when he was beaten.’’ Not knowing, he re fused to give up—fought dog gedly until his superior lasting powers overcame his oppon ent’s superior strength and skill. In this race between a man and a horse, the man winning, you have a clear-cut illustration of why brilliant men are often left far behind by men of infe rior ability, in the race for suc cess. Natural ability and influen tial friends often count less than endurance. In this case, endurance in volves several things: Superior physical power aids an average brain to “beat out” the superior brain in a weak body. A bright light burns out quickly if it has a weak bat tery. Reliability and thoroughness are frequently more desirable than intellectual genius. A plodder who can be depended on will outdistance a man with a better brain handicapped by a tendency to be slip-shod and Unreliable- Determination, ambition and willingness to work hard for success these make a man forge ahead of a rival who may have more ability but is easily discousaged or lazy. Hard work wins its reward. Faith This controversy between re ligion and science, about the theory of evolution, simmers down to the problem of how much one is willing to accept “on faith.” The scientists claim that re ligion is based on faith rather than proved fact. But does it ever occur to these scientists that at least 95 per cent of their scientific know ledge is also based on faith? For instance, every scientist will take oath that the skull of a creature known as the Java Ape Man, supposed to be half a million or so years old, exists —having been reconstructed from fragments. But how many scientists have actually seen this skull? Belief in this skull is entirely a matter of faith— credulously accepting the word of others. We’re all like the scientists, in that 95 per cent of what we ' know” is accepted on faith alone- How do you know that there’s a country called China? Were you ever there to see with your own eyes? Most of us have never seen China, but we believe in it. Faith in the word of others makes us believe nearly every thing we class as knowledge. Studying chemistry, we are told that water is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen—and we accept this as true, on faith. Scientists “swore by” the au thenticity of the Cardiff Giant —believed in it, many of them, because they had faith in it— until the giant was exposed as a “planted” hoax of P. T. Barnum. The world is so big that a man traveling constantly < for 100 years would see only a small fraction of the whole be fore he died. With this handi cap, it’s quite natural that near ly all of our knowledge is ac cepted on the basis of faith. Faith is oneiof the mightiest forces in life, j It is just asypuch si i< .is .

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times Recorder. Nov. 29. 1904,.'» Quite an interesting program h(.s been arranged Sunday morning at the Presbyterian church, as follows: Recitation, Ho! for the Reaapcrs— by Frank Lawson, Janie Feagin, Arbie Harrison and Julia Sawyer.

The Canary Islands, like li'e’and, have no snakes, but it is too late for picnics now. The sun’s rays take only eight minutes to reach the earth, so it looks as if they would be all iiot and tired. Begonias grow wil l in Java. We have never been there, but it may be because they stay out all night. Russia has a population of 125,- 000,000, some of which, contrary to general opinion, don’t need a shave. According to a French-Canadian law, stealing a kiss in Canada is not a crime, but we knew that. There are stars so distant we see their light 36,000 years later, and perhaps there are friends %hat way. With English coal reserves esti mated at 155 billion tons, we would guess off-hand that American re serves are a couple of tons. They greyhound can run 35 miles an hour, so if you get one he never should be late for supper. The pole star is always directly over the north pole, just like apart ment house dwellers in winter.

Nov. 29, 1894.) The fin de siecle maiden of Am ericus, will be interested in learn ing that the size of the baloon sleeve is to be reduced. If this re port be true it will again be pos sible for two or three of them to walk abreast on the sane side walk. The races this afternoon at Lee ton park under the auspices of the Cycle Club will be spirited and in teresting. The' owners of the wheels both ladies and gentlemen will meet at the library at two o’clock and attend the races in' a body. Mr. C. C. Jordan, a prominent and prosperous young farmer of Sum ter will have cause to long and picas antly remember Trahksgiving. Yesterday, accompanied by Mr. S'. J. Jordan, B. H. Chamblis and J. R. Pilcher, left for Bonaire where this morning he will wed M’ss Alma King, a pretty belle of that place. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Rylander and Mr. and Mrs. D. K. Brinson and Mr, and Mrs. J. L.

Cal., Nov. 28.—There is no evidence in his possession as to who killed Willin r. R. Feei Alhambra and San Gabriel bank president, that would warrant an arrest at this time, u was an nounced by Sheriff W. A. Shay The sheriff and detectives spent the entire day at L’ tk Creek can yon at and near th? place where Fee’s body was found A bloody handker hies found in a cabin thirty feet from the cabin owned by Miss Mary Witkins, who was questioned for three hours at. the inquest yesterday, remained one of the central points of inter est last night. Samples of Fee’s hair, needed to make comparison with hair found in the bkody hand kerchief, had not arrived from Al hambra where ther body had beer, taken. In the same cabin where the handkerchief was found a clear ly defined foot print was discovered in the basement. CADY ORDERED HELD IN BROWARD KILLING New YORK, Nov. I'?.—-Morris Mechanic, a salesman, Insisted on mixing business with pleasure. Anna Droll alleges that Morris took her to a vaudeville show ard then disappeared with tne SIOO fur coat she was wearing .after promis ing to check it. What made it worse was that An na had only borrowed ire coat for the evening from a friend. Morris is now in jail, and is said Jo have hocked the coat for ?100 t DIVORCE Divorces are increasing. Last ,jear 165,139 married couples dis solved partnership. Many critics, accordingly, "view with alarm.” If they really want to learn something about the increasing failure of the marriage institution, they should in vestigate the far greater number of marriages that result wretchedly, vet avoid divorce courts. The main trouble is that people, in courting, usually- masquerade, concealing faults and prejudices that reveal themselves later. Men and women who are always “their real selves” are not apt to make a botch of wedlock. * * 0 LOVE This year in our country there’ll be more than one and a quarter mil lion marriages. Probably f’ve millions would be a conservative es timate of the constant number of Americans who are either engaged co marry or planning to. The public is concerned chiefly with getting enough to eat, being able to gratify its vanity, and mate with the opposite sex. Intellectual reformers usually fail because they neglect to appeal to these three basic motives. * * * LEGS Bare legs and Greek sandals will be ‘‘the go” next summer, is the word from Paris. Stocking manu facturers, alarmed, have countered by starting propaganda that legs will be more beautiful if heavy woollen stockings are worn in cold winter.

CALENDAR A new calendar, with 13 months in a year and 38 days in a month, is urged by Dr. Marvin, head weath er forecaster for Uncle Sam. Many will back him when they learn that his specifications call foi an extra holiday on the 365th day that wi uld be left over in the revised calendar. Granted, it’d be accurate and con venient to have every month begin on Sunday and end on Saturday. But the public is so accustomed to the old calendar that there’d be end less confusion for years Smoothing out brain ruts is next to impossible. ♦ * ♦ RUSS The soviets are starting their eighth year of power in Russia. You recall the thousands of predictions that the Reds would be hurled oi.t by popular uprising. Russm is in the hands of evolu tion. Eight years from now the soviet will probably still be on the job—though so changed and modi fied that it will not be recognizable In 1776 we Americans began to learn how to govern ourselves, and so far have barely gotten started. Russia cast off the vilest govern njent on earth. Give her time. * « * EXPENSES 1 What do you think of Representa tive Oldfield’s proposal to appro priate a million dollars out of public funds for presidential and congres sional campaign expenses and make it a felony for a candidate to spend any other funds? It would be cleansing, to be sure, to do away with corporation cam paign contributions But could Con gress ever agree on how to di 'ide the money among candidates?
