One of the most perplexing problems that piirents confront in rearing a chilli is whether to foster or suppress his self-conceit. This is a modern psychological trou ble. The question never bothered our ancestors. They held that it was a pa rent’s first, duty to tiring up n child in j humility, nnd to point out to him his j defects (and shortcoming:! in a way to , i-iuhimre Chronicle* JHupulcli. child’s self-conceit than to suppress it. By the time he or she has fought hi9 or her battle with the world the world will have pruned down the self-conceit into self-confidence. After all, self-conceit is the greatest motive power in the universe. Vanity and the desire to show off have been the real main spring of nine-tenths of the big things that have ever tieen done. It is be cause he had to deliver the goods that has made many a boaster a great man. Barents will do well to consider this phase of the subject before they try to suppress self-conceit in their children. The egotist may not he a lovely, al truistic character, hut he gets there. Germany’s Secret Service. exterminate every particle of vanity in his soul. Thus, if a girl was homely, her mother dwelt upon her lack of good looks and assured her she'd never catch a husband. If she was awkward, her family commented on it with the cruel candor displayed only by one’s nearest relatives. If a boy were a little hIow in learning, his father impressed on him that he was a fool. If he were timid of nature, he was twitted for be ing a coward, and if either girl or boy hud any shining attractions or virtues, it was held little short of a sin to men tion them. < >ur parents did only what they con ceived to be their duty in cultivating a meek spirit within us, hut many of us benr the scars from their scourging on our souls. Children are abnormally self-conscious and sensitive to criticism. Their households are their little worlds, nnd nothing that the big world ever does to you in later life ever cuts to the quick as did being held up to scorn in your helpless youth. I know a handsome woman who would tie a regal beauty except that she holds herself no per cent. ofT of her looks in stead of 20 per cent, over them, be cause she had never been habitually ad dressed by her mother us "you ugly little thing" when she was a child. I know another woman who still falls over her feet when she walks because the Idea that she was awkward was so ingrained in her in youth that she has never conquered her one defect, and I know many men who only lack self- confidence lo make them successes in stead of failures. Of course, blatant self-conceit is one of the most intolerable of faults, espe cially in the young. There is no one whose society we so loathe and whom we go so far to avoid mooting us the individual whose conversation is one "I." Yet at the same time it is not to he denied that most successful people are egregious egotists. We can only do what we think we cun do, and the measure of our achieve ments is the measure of the things that we think wo can achieve. We must believe absolutely in ourselves be fore we can inspire the confidence of others in us. These bromidic truths should be taken into consideration by parents be fore they set ft remorseless hee|_en their children’s vanity, for it is an indispu table fact thul to make u girl or hoy believe that she or he ih inferior to others doom her or him to a second place in the world. We get only what wo demand from our fellow-creatures. If we are shy and deprecating and hang hack, nobody is going to push us forward. Still less ore they going to insist on conferring on us ur y of the laurel crowns of life. It would bo interesting to know how many of the failures that we see all about os are the direct result of the conscientious efforts of parents to sup press self-conceit in their children. Here is u man of tulent, hut he lacks j m od little hoys say their prayer "push," because in his childhood he I "Yes, but 1 in too tired. For many years past Germany has been spending on her secret service be tween $.’1,000,01(0 and $4,000,000 annual ly—that is to say, about five times as nr’ch as France and from twelve to fif teen times as much as Groat Britain. The purpose to which these funds are mainly devoted is the establishment and maintenance of spies at fixed posts in potentially hostile countries, says a writer in the Atlantic Monthly, In France, where this smothered warfare has been waged most persistently and can best be studied, the principal agents are rarely Germans. They are, as a rule, Swiss, Belgians and Alsatians, with a sprinkling of corrupt Frenchmen, if they are Germans, then they hasten to take out naturalization papers and to make themselves conspicuous by pro testations of loyalty to the land of their adoption. But in nil cases they are in structed to disguise their operations un der forms of ordinary business. They take shops, land agencies, hotels, insur ance offices, and so on. They follow their calling just like anybody else in the locality. They attract no notice either by having too much money or too little. Their businesses are soundly es tablished and are in keeping with the requirements of the neighborhood. The expenses of starting them are borne out of the secret service funds, and from (lie same source the deficits, if any, in the annual balance sheet are made good. The inan in charge identi fies himself with the life around him, sits on committees, makes as many friends as possible, subscribes gener ously to local charities, and not infre quently gels himself elected to some minor office. Be Tolerant to Others. Alexutulrin (Inti.I Timeii-Tribune. i )ne of the indications of a real Chris tian is his willingness to show for bearance and consideration and patience toward those who differ from him in matters political, social and other wise. It is no sign of weakness, and it is no yielding of one’s own idcuR and thoughts und principles, in showing tolerance toward others who refuse to believe as we believe or think as we think. On the contrary, it is distinctly a sign of superiority of mind and ten derness of heart, which are the charac teristics of the true lady and gentle man, to treat with respect nnd consider ation those who sincerely differ from us. No; tolerance and a just regard for the views of others do not imply weakness or indecision on your part. Neither do they preclude an effort on your part to convince them, in a digni fied and courteous manner, that you are right and they are wrong. Little James, aged t’> years, had been taught lo pray each night for all his relatives and friends, and consequently the lisl bail grown quite large.

Soule, Georgia Slate College of Agriculture Those who have purchased corn from the West have often found that It ha-; heated iri transit ami is in a moldy condition anil therefore unfit for food. Stomach stnggers and sim ilar diseases are largely due to feed ing moldy or rotten corn. This heating of corn is due to a very considerable extent to the high 1 moisture content of the grain. At the j .State College of Agriculture a consid erable number of samples of corn have been tested for moisture con tent during several years past An examination of these samples reveal ed the fact that the majority ranged between 10 und IB per cent in moist ure content. With this data in hand it lias been decided that 12 per cent moisture would be a proper allowance for Number One Georgia grown corn. This standard for Georgia is 3 per cent under that which is allowed to govern Number One corn in the general markets of the country. Gen erally speaking southern grown corn has lower moisture content and as against western corn, is less subject to heating and molding. Gathered with the aim- degree of care, south ern corn will be u better corn for the trade than western corn. Varieties of corn differ in moisture content. Farmers should select corn with grains fairly firm and flinty, closely packed on a small cob. These resist moisture to the best advantage. Georgia farmers have a handicap over the Western farmer and should find no trouble In disposing of their corn to advantage. All Blood Disorders | Quickly Driven Away Astonishing Result's With the Greatest Bleed Purifier Ever Discovered. Strength, Power, Accomplishment arc ail Typified in S. S. S. Reseeding Alfalfa John R. Fain, Professor Of Agronomy, Georgia State College Of Agrl, Many patches of alfalfa sown dur ing the fall of 1914 were killed by the November freeze. Inquiry has been made as to whether these patch es can be reseedo.d In the spring. While a stand can be obtained in spring, as a rule, it is not as long lived when sown in the spring as when sown in the fall. The better policy to pursue with reference to the land on which the alfalfa has been killed, Is to seed to cow peas, get a crop of hay off of the land in the summer and then sow alfalfa again on the pea stubble In tho fall. It is probable that as much hay will be obtained from the cow peas this year as will be obtained from spring sown alfalfa. Moreover the alfalfa that would he sown in the fall after the cow peas, would coma along better, in all probability, than the spring sown alfalfa for next year’s crops. Farmers who are trying to start to growing alfalfa must not be discour aged with the unusual experience of last fall. A good seed bed, good drainage and inoculation will give al falfa a start, and cutting at the right time will have much to do with mak ing a continued success of the plant. Since September 1, the following bulletins nnd circulars have been is sued by tlie College of Agriculture for the benefit of the farmers of Georgia: Short Course Announcement, Alfalfa in Georgia, Soils of Chattooga Coun ty.

Hart, Professor Of Farm Me chanics, Georgia State College Of Agriculture Plans for inexpensive farm build ings have been made by The Depart ment of Farm Mechanics of the Col lege of Agriculture, which are now in great demand. These plans are fur nished free to farmers who are seek ing information for the best type of barn to construct. The plans have been made with the purpose of econ omizing in every particular, and to suit the various requirements of farm ers of Georgia. Types of these build ings are to be seen on the farm of the College of Agriculture at Athens. Principally from those who have seen these barns and other buildings have come the demands for blue prints of the plans. It has not been possible to pro vide these plans promptly. Cloudy weather prevents the development of the bfue prints and at times consider able delay is experienced on this ac count. On account of some of the building materials being cheaper now than they have been for some time, it would appear to he a suitable time to construct farm buildings. Some blood disorders become deeply rooted in tho glands and tissues, and the mistake Is made of resorting to drastic drugs. These only aggravate by causing other and worse troubles. A host of peo ple know this to be true. They know from painful experience. To get right down into where tho blood Is vitiated requires S. S. S, the greatest blood purifier ever discovered. This remarkable remedy contains one ingredient, tho active purpose of which is to stimulate the tissues to the healthy selection of its own essential nutriment and the medicinal elements of this match less blood purifier are just as essential to well balanced-health as the nutritious elements of the meats, grains, fats ami sugars of oVir daily food. Not only this, but if from the presence of some disturbing poison there is a local or general interference of nutrition to cause bolls, carbuncles, abscesses and kindred troubles, S. S. S. so directs the local cells that this poison is rejected and eliminated from their presence. Then, too, S. S. S. has such spoelflc stimulation on these local cells as t., pre . serve their mutual welfare and a proper relative assistance to each other. In a very brief time S. S. S. hns the reconstructive process so under contmi that remarkable changes are obsevud. All eruptive places heal, mysterious pains and nches have disappeared, and from head to foot there is a conscious sensation of re newed health. From tho fact that S. S. S. is purely a botanical preparation, it Is accepted by- thc weakest stomach and has great tonic Influence. Not ono drop of drugs or minerals is used in its preparation. Ask for 8. S.
