Serums.
Beaton l'onl.
Once upon a time, not so very lone
bro, a boy wuh born, anti they named
him Willie. This boy’s mother did not
nurse him, but he was pul on a bottle.
Fortunately, a learned scientist had
discovered how to pasteurize milk, so
that the boy did pretty well on cow’s
milk.
When this boy was two years old he
had whooping coutjh. Fortunately, Dr.
Bordet, of Brussels, had discovered;that
serum from a cat would cure whooping
ccugh, and some cut serum was inject
ed into Willie.
Soon after Willie got about again, he
was taken with measles. Fortunately,
Dr. John I’. Anderson, of WuHhington,
had discovered that serum from a mon
key would cure measles. So they
pumped monkey serum into the boy,
and the measles didn’t kill him.
One day Willie was playing with his
pet terrier, when the dog scratched
him. So his folks, dreading hydropho
bia in its worst form, rushed him down
to Now Jersey, where there is a great
institute in honor of the late ITof. Pas
teur, who fortunately, discovered that
serum from a dog was a fine thing for
rabies. They pumped dog serum into
little Willie for two months.
Willie pulled through nicely, hut on
the way home rode in a Pullman sleep
er in which a smallpox case was dis
covered. Fortunately, Dr. Jenner had
discovered that serum from a cow
would cure smallpox, and so, on getting
home, they pumped some cow serum
into Willie’s arm.
Well, Willie lived along until he wbb
ten years old, when one night his folks
were sent into n panic by discovering
that he had black diphtheria. Fortu
nately, a noted Herman physician had
discovered that serum from a horse
would cure diphtheria, if anything
would, und so they guve Willie some
horse serum.
Finally, ut forty years of age, Willie
was taken with a mysterious malady.
None of the doctors could tell definitely
what it was. At last, as Willie was
very low, a very leurned scientist from a
great Eastern institute visited him and
pronounced it '‘generaldebility.” “But,
cheer up, my man,’' fluid the scientist,
“I have a serum from ”
“No more menagerie in mine,"sighed
Willie. “Life has been but one blamed
serum after another.” Whereupon
Willie died, much to the regret of the
scientist, who felt sure that he was
about to enrich medicul science with a
great discovery, since he was about to
try serum from a hen and an alligator
on “general debility."
We don’t know that there’s any mor
al to thiB story. But there’s a whole
lot of truth to it, anyhow.

Eight Tons of Alfalfa From Two
Acres.
I.ni«rnntr<‘ Reporter.
The farmers of Troup county who
have often been urged to farm upon a
small acreage and cultivate diversified
products, will be interested to bear of
the wonderful success of Mr. J. G.
Truitt, one of LaGrange’s most sub
stantial business men, in the produc
tion of alfalfa.
Yesterday Mr. Truitt cut two acres
of bis hay, and succeeded in storing
eight tons. Alfalfa sells for $ld per
ton, and if Mr. Truitt decides to sell
the output he will realize about SlUO,
most of which is clear profit.
The farmers of this section who have
been dubious as to the probability of
Hading a market for alfalfa should talk
to Mr. Truitt. Although first of all a
business man, he knows how to farm.
He is wealthy, but the average far
mer need not feel that this is the rea-
aon he is able to farm at a profit.
Rather he is wealthy because of this,
and Ilia ability to do other things as
well.
Mr. Truitt states that it costs on an
average $40 to prepare an acre for al
falfa. And this is practically the only
eoit, as it grows almost eternally, with
out any expense for cultivation.
“1 don’t think that one should al
ways obey one's parents, do you,
Araminta?” inquired Arabella.
“Why, l don’t know.” said Aramin
ta, “what makes you say that?"
"Last night when Boh was here papa
railed down 'Arabella, put out the
light,’ and of course 1 did it. And
when be came downstairs and found us
in the dark be was just raving mad."

Tale of the Party Telephone Line.
There van once a man who tried to
love his neighbors. He began with
those next door and succeeded in loving
them very satisfactorily, although one
of them kept chickens and the other
one was a rival and perhapt superior
gardener. From these concrete exam
ples he proceeded to demonstrate his
ability to love the abstract variety of
neighbors which includes everybody and
everything. He not only loved his
neighbor but he loved his neighbor's
chickenB. He loved the other neigh
bor’s garden—even the arrogant toma
toes that bloomed and flourished there
while those in his own garden pined
away. He loved the ice man and the
light and gas and water men and he
would have loved the man who cleaned
the Btreet if he had been certain of his
existence.
He loved the gentleman across the
street who tinkered with his motor car
all day Sunday and he loved the wood
pecker that hammered the water spoat
outside the bed-room window at 5
o’clock each morning. He loved the
neighbor’s children, although they
pulled his pansies and he pretended that
he loved the beetles that fed on the
hearts of his rosebuds. He loved hot
water and cold water and expressed a
peculiar affection for the weather man.
All these he loved, and many ^more,
but there was one neighbor that he
could not love, it was the neighbor
who was said to be on the same party
telephone line with him. It is doubtful
if anybody has ever succeeded in loving
that elusive, ever present somebody
who Heems to live on his party line. It
haH long been a matter of regret that
one-half of the world did not know how
the other half lived. By means of a
party line we have found out all about
it, and a very unprofitable piece of
knowledge it has been. We know too
much about the neighbor on our party
line and he knows too much about us.
This man might have succeeded in
loving his neighbor on his telephone line
if he had met him over the garden fence,
but they were forever assaulting each
other with unexpected and irritable
"hellos.” and with vehement request
from each to the other to “get off the
line.” When he called up his wife in
the morning his neighbor’s wife ans
wered him, and when he tumbled down
the stairs to answer his telephone in
the night the neighbor sent him hack
to bed humiliated. And then his wife
and the neighbor’s wife met at a lunch
eon where the latter induced the former
to listen to a weary recital of the tele
phone 'habits of the “folks on their
party line.” Of course there was no
chance after that. It seems that it
cannot be done. The party telephone
lines connect us too closely with our
neighbors to permit us to love each
other.
A religious worker was visiting a
Southern penitentiary, when one pris
oner in some way took his fancy. This
prisoner was a negro who evinced a re
ligious fervor as deep as it was gratify
ing to the caller.
“Of what were you accused?” the
prisoner was asked.
"Dey says I took a watch,” answered
the negro. ”1 made a good tight. 1 had
a dandy lawyer, an' he done an alibi
wif ten witnesses. Den my lawyer he
sho’ made a strong speech io de jury.
But it wa'nt no use, sail; 1 gits ten
years. ”
"I don't see why you were not ac
quitted.” said the religious worker.
"Well, sah,” explained the prisoner,
’Mere was sho’ one weak spot 'bout de
case—de found de watch in my pocket. ”
The usual large crowd was gathered
at the New York end of the Brooklyn
bridge waiting for trolley onrs. An eld
erly lady, red in the face, flustered and
fussy, dug her elbows into convenient
ribs irrespective of owners.
A fat man on her left was the recip
ient of a particularly vicious jab. She
yelled at him, "Say!”
He winced slightly and moved to one
side.
She, too, sidestepped and thumped
him vigorously on the hack.
"Say!” she persisted, “does it make
any difference which of these cars I
take to Greenwood Cemetery?”
"Not to me, madam,” he answered,
slippling through an opening in the
crowd.

In Onions There is Strength.
laouinvllle Courier-Journal.
Many a man —probably few women
who try it—finds a raw onion highly im
proving to his state of health when he
is afflicted with a severe cold.
A bacteriologist explains that there is
no mystery about the onion cure. It is
not like a charm which rnay prevail
upon a wart to vanish, but is virtually
a specific for the cure of colds, in that
the oil in the onion kills the microbes
of “cold. ”
The mouth of nearly every healthy
person contains a few diplococci pneu
monic, it is explained, and a cold,
which weakens resistance, may give
the deadly diplococcus his chance. It is,
therefore, important to treat the cold
germ as severely as he has treated you.
He is fastidious and does not like on
ions. Dose him with raw onions and he
dies. As for the members of the family
who object to onions—well, a man must
not give up his hope of escape from the
lurking diplococcus merely because his
sisters, his cousins or his aunts abhor
the penetrant perfume of raw onions.
Large luscious onions repose tempt
ingly amid the green grocer’s array of
edibles. But only the brave who de
serve, and are unafraid of the fair,
dare suggest their being bought and
served raw. Only a few bold spirits
will go so far as to smuggle them into
the household tor consumption at the
witching time o’ night when “hell itself
breathes out contagion on the world,”
and a man who has eaten an onion
should, by comparison, seem innocuous
and blameless.
But inasmuch as a bacteriologist in
dorses the onion as a cold cure, and
tells how it acts, let us be up and doing
with a heart for any argument in pro
test that may be made. With a Span
ish onion as large as a squash, and the
“fixin’s” that go therewith, let those
of us who have hitherto lacked, in po
lite company, the courage of our con
victions, go as far as we like. The on
ion has an oil in it, and the oil has a
Latin name and a specific function. And
pneumonia is a deadly peril which must
be guarded against at all costs, and in
defiance of contumely. Even if one
hasn’t a cold, who can tell what to-mor
row might bring forth? Preventive med
icine beats a pound of cure.
Best Diarrhoea Remedy.
If you have ever used Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
you know that it is a success. Sam F.
Guin, Whatley, Ala., writes: “I had
measles and got caught out in the rain,
and it settled in my stomach and bowels.
I had an awful time, and had it not
been for Chamherlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy I could not pos
sibly have lived but a few hours longer;
but, thanks to this remedy, I am now
well and strong.” For sale by all

The Immensity of Russia.
Cleveland Pluin Denier.
Merely by way of supplementing
the regular appropriations for the Rus
sian army the Czar’s government has
added $(10,000,000 to the usual estimate
for that great engine of war. Europe
is gravely discussing extensive changes
and improvements in the equipment
and organization of the Russian artille
ry, especially, and Germany and Aus.
tria-Hungary are carefully noting the
reports of the massing of Russian
troops near their frontiers.
All such incidents direct attention to
the huge hulk of the Russian empire.
It is by far the greatest connected ter
ritory under any flag. The only empire
more extensive is that of Great Britain,
which lies in widely separated parts of
the earth. The population of Russia’s
vast realm is much greater than that
of any other country inhabited by peo
ple chiefly of European blood or origin.
The Russian standing army is by far
the largest in the world. The Russian
revenues are also greater than those of
any other nation, though not larger
than those of all parts of the British
empire taken together. Russia grows
the biggest wheat crop in the world
and the largest rye crop.
“I tell you” said Joshua Oldstock,
“this here new femir ist movement ain't
goin' to pan out. The only feminist
movement that ever was any good was
the one we had when I was a young
man.”
“Why,” his grandniece replied,
“there was no such thing as a feminist
movement when you were a young
man!”
"There wasn’t, eh? That's all you
know about it. The greatest feminist
movement in the world is a good sensi-
ahle woman darnin’ a sock and rockin’
cradle with her foot."
Recognize Laws of "Chance.’’
The InwB of "chance," or the theory
of probabilities, have been adopted by
the men of science. Until recently
the only persons who bothered their
heads about the problems that arlso
In calculating probabilities were gam
blers and speculative mathematicians.
Now the student of physics Is obliged
to understand them and use them con
stantly.

High Prices for Books.
Volumes In modern bindings which
sell for $1,000 to $2,000 each are by no
means uncommon. Not long ago, for
instance, a set of Dickens was pub
lished in America, the price per vol
ume being $1,000, each book being
bound in vellum and enclosed in a
casket of white silk and leather.
Harmful Insects.
From a composition on "Harmful In

Information: “The chief insects harm

erpillow. To destroy them get them
all and step on them or otherwise de
stroy their breathing places."
Three Pernicious Things.
Three things too much and three too

Rheumatic Throat
Is Common Trouble
Should Be Treated in Blood
To Prevent Recurrence.
a Thorn nro succossful gargles that stop
Horenoss In the throat, but to prevent their
incessant return, the blood must be put in
order. The best remedy is S. S. S., as it
influences all the functions of the body to
neutralize the irritnnts or waste products
und to stimulate their excretion through,
the proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat Is a dangerous
indication, as it moans that the blood Is
loaded with more uric acid than the kid
neys can excrete, and may thus lead to
serious general disturbance.
The action of S. S. S, stimulates cellular
activity. It prevents the accumulation of
irritants in local spots. It: enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
blood to replace worn-out tissue.
For this reason uric acid that finds the
throat an easy prey to its breaking-down
Influence, is scattered and eliminated. In
other words, S. S. S. prevents chronic con
ditions by enabling all Hie mucous linings
of the body to secrete healthy mucus. Its
Influence is shown iu a marked improve
ment of tlie bronchial tubes, whereby the
huskiness of voice with thick, gruvish ex
pectorations is overcome. S. S. S'., well
diluted with water, means a blood bath,
since it is welcome to any stomach and at
once gets into the blood.
S. S. S. is free of all minerals and con
tains ingredients wonderfully conducive to
well-balanced health.
You can got it at any drug store, but do
not accept anything else. There is danger
in substitutes. S. S. S. is prepared only by
