* NOTES FROM BRLCE
************
The weather has been so 1 ? ! this
week an < the latter pa t of last that
news is rather scarce, i ut a/e on
ly- nskin.i for a small rpr.-.-o.
There is to be, we suppose, a
school taugnt at the Dis ict uil-!-
jr, for the tone fit of those who in
their early life were i<~.-rived of the
privileges which are r, ,v . i re.- ch oi
all, and the project is causing some
comment for there are some twelve
or fifteen adults in the district who
are unable to read or write.
Various reasons are given as be
■ig the cause of tnis. But the most
common reason given is, “ lid not
have an opportunity when I was
young. And now, if nothing pre
vents, we wish to give them that
chance. Though it may come in the
evening of their life. We hope it
will not be scorned by them, for we
wish them to feel that it is not be
ing offered for the purpose of ridi
cule, but for the sole purpose of
helping those who wish to recognize
the picture of their names, to read
the Bible, and printed books which
will be, surely, a source of great con
solation to them.
We cannot say definitely when the
school will begin but can say soon,
we hope.
The young people of the listrict
are asking that a box supper be had.
funds to be used for the benefit of
the school.

DECLARES CIVILIZ
ED MAN LACKS
COMMON SENSE
Scintist Told Wtrll-Ktacwn Southern
er He Was Living Like a Fool as
Far at Hit Stomach Wat Concern
ed.
ATLANTA PEOPLE FLOCK TO
POMEROY
Hit Theory That the Stomach ft the
Ctuit of Ninety Per Cent cf All
111 Health it Being Verified Every
Day.
/.
John Pomeroy, the remarkable
New Zealander, who is now visiting
Atlanta and attracting so much at
tention by his novel theories, thinks
that civilized man lacks common
sense. Pomeroy claims that most ill
health is due to stomach disorders
caused by improper eating. When
seen at his Atlanta headquarters, he
said:
“While modern conditions have a
heap to do with people being sickly
looking, tired, thin and pale # ail the
time, lack of using common sense
can be blamed equally as much.
“It is impossible always to lead
the active outdoor life nature de
mands. It is impossible for many
to exercise the body sufficiently to
make the gastric juices wholly ac
tive and virile. It is impossible to
spend as much time as we should
in the fresh aid and sunshine. It is
also impossible for us to gt abso
lutely fresh vegetable food all the
time, and this, more than anything
tlse, is the cause of so many under
nourished and yellowish, sickly-look
ing people. But it is possible to
treat the stomach, already weakened
by these mistakes, with at least a
little consideration.
“If people thought half as much
of thefr stomaehes as they do their
pocketbooks* there wouldn’t be so
much sickness here.
"H we v would sit down quietly to
plan, common sense meal, eat slow
ly, and chew every mournful thor
oughly, and then give it time to di
gest and be assimilated into the
giood to nourish the system, there
wouddn t 1 e so many complaining,
droopy, listless and fretful men and
women. But we don't; we are a na
t.on oi bolters. We bolt our food
and expect our sstomachsto do the
work our teeth were intended for.
In consequence, we are becoming a
nation of chronic dyspeptics and
1 heumaiics.
Our forefathers gave us two
things—first, a glorious land with
1 unlimited resources and opportuni
ties; second, a sound constitution
nith good, healthy digestive organs.
We fought to keep the first intact
and free, but we’re letting the sec
ond go to ruin.
“The amount of half-chewed, has
tily aten fdod the average person
stud's into himself during the day
is positively wicked. Then, when
he feels dull and nervous he won
ders what s the matter and imag
ines he has heart trouble, or inso
niania, or goodness knows what.
There is just one thing the matter
with him. He has abused the one
01 an ot * his body which is most es
sential to good health— the stomach
and until the gastric juices in his
OA MO-SITH?. nAI<IELS\ ILLS. GtAhAirl^
stomach perform their functions as
they should, all the doctors ana
medicines in the world will not make
him well and robust.
“The other day a man well known
over this'section came to me and
said: ‘From what a friend tells me
about your medicine, Furatone, i
think it will help me. At least 1 am
willing to give it a trial. But, sup
posing it does get my stomacn in
shape, how long will it las..' 1 sim
ply said: ‘lf you begin taking Fma
:or.e right now, at t:.e end ot a *ew
days your food should be digesting
perfectly once more. But if you
continue to act like a fool, so far as
what you eat and the way you eat it
is, concerned, you will be rignt back
where you are now inside of sis
months.’
“What I said to this man can be
applied to thousands just like bins
all over the country." —(Aciv.)
CONCERNING
CLOTHES
“Most pople seem to think that
clothes prices are high. Measured
in the number of dollars it takes to
purchase a suit they are. But
measured in the prices of things
which the producer has to sell, or in
the wages .paid for service perform
ed they are no higher than they
were before the war. In many in
stances, as a matter of fact, they
are not so high.
“Compare clothes prices, for in
stance, with that of corn, the great
American money crop. In 1914 the
owa farmer had to haul fifty bush
els of corn to market in order to get
money to pay for a $25 suit of
clothes, ow he can get a S6O suit
and a $lO pair of shoes for his fifty
bushels of corn.
“It may that that h doesn’t haul
corn to.market but feeds it to his
hogs. On December 30th, 1914, he
had to sell four hundred pounds, of
hogs at the top price of the Chicago
market to get the money to pay for
a $25 suit and a $3 hat. On Decem
ber 30th, 1919, if he sold four hun
dred pounds of hogs at the top price
of the Chicago market he came with
in $3 of receiving the money to buy
a S6O suit and there have been long
periods -in the last two years when
he would have got from SBO to $92
for bis four hundred pounds of hogs.
“If on December 30th, 1914, he
marketed a thousand pouml corn
fed steer at the top price of the
Chicago market he got $91.50 for
it. If he marketed it on December
30th, 1919, for the top price, he got
$195 for it—money* enough to buy
a pretty nice outfit of clothes.
‘'Wheat is raised in very wide sec
tions of the country. Official gov
ernment reports tell us that the
average farm value of wheat on
November Ist, 1914, was 77 cents a
bushel. The farmer who sold fifty
bushels of it got $38.50, or just
about enough to buy a $25 suit, a
| pair of shoes, as3 hat, two or
; three good shirts, and then some
handkerchiefs. The farm value of
wheat on November Ist, 1919, was
$2.13 a bushel and the farmer re
ceived $106.50, or enough to buy
him a fine S6O suit and a big thick
overcoat. If a farmer happens to
I live in the Northwest and to have
j held his wheat until now he can get
somewhere near $3 a bushel for
grain of good quality.
