Will Abolish Collisions.
s-umsam
A practical demonstration oi the
utility of a new departure, which, it
is claimed by railway Officials, will
effectively prove the solution in a
large degree of the .railway collision
problem, has been made on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail
road. Ihe device consists of an ex
ceedingly powerful electric head
light, which hot only perfectly illu
minates the track with an intensely
brilliant light for a distance of a
mile, but also embraces the striking
and novel feature of a beam of light
of almost equal- brilliancy penetrat
ing over 700 feet above, which can
be cloarly seen ten® miles distant.
This vertical beam will, in hilly
countrv, especially, where curves in
the r.rack are numerous, so positively
'fix the location of the trains that
nothing bht carelessness on the part
of the engineer will permit a collis
ion —Exchange.

give up quite as large a sum of

From.the beginning, the utmost
importance is attached to proper
breathing, without which there can
be no physical excellenee. At the
beginning and end of each drill the
men are required to devote several
minutes to inflating and deflating
their lungs. They breathe slowly and
deeply, inspirations being through
the nostrils and expiration either by
nose or mouth. Holding the breath
until it can be no longer held is ab
solutely harmful; Inhalation may be
accompanied by any part of an arm
or shoulder exercise that will elevate
and distend the thorax, such as rais
ing. the arm laterally, while that part
of an exercise which tends to con
tract the walls of the chest should
be accompanied by exhalation,, as
lowering the arms laterally from the
shoulders or from overheard. When
exercise is followed by labored
breathing, it is a certaiu sign that
the work has been excessive, and
such an extreme is a frequent cause
of injury to the heart or lungs. Pal
pitation or distressful breathing calls
for immediate and absolute rest,
whioh is best obtained by lying flat
on the back, with arms and. legs out
stretched.
Exercising is never permitted im
mediately before or after a meal, di
gestion beiug considered much more
important. During the exercises wa
ter, not too cold, may be taken in
small sips, but merely rinsing the
mouth is recommended. After ex
orcise the body must return to its
normal condition before eating is al
lowed. Oadets, during exercise,
wear soft canvas shoes, uniform
trousers, .and gray flannel shirts,
wool next to the skin being consid
ered indispensable. Bathing is or
dered in connection with exercise
for no man who merely cleanses the
'surface of his skin can be expected
to possess a clean cuticle. A bath
after a good “sweat” accomplishes
the flushing of the millions of per
spiration ducts in the body. Though
a cold bath is now generally prefer
red for healthy meu', it is impossible
to lay down an inflexible rule. All
depends upon the condition of the
individual, and he abne can be the
judge. Any bath that leaves the
bather in a state v,f mental depres
sion and physical lassitude must be
avoided, as only that bath which
leaves one belter in mind and body
is beneficial. For cleansing the skin
a warm bath, with plenty of soap, is
advised. For stimulation, a cold
plunge-bath of short duration, taken
before the body cools, is best. This
latter bath must be followod by a
brisk rubbing with a coarse towel,
Where neither is possible, a sponge
bath with tepid water, followed by
brisk rubbing, is the one to use. In
this connection, bathing the stom
ach by drinking water freely, both
at rising and retiring, is strongly
recommended to all.—Lieut. H. J.

Attorney General Boykin Wright
has just decided some important and
interesting points relating to the sale
of fertilizers in Georgia in connec
tion with cases referred to him by
Commissioner O. B. Stevans of the
department of agriculture, and the
decision is interesting. It seems to
bring out the fact that under the
laws of this state a farmer cannot
buy what he wants in the way of
commercial fertilizers, but must take
certain established or prescribed for-,
formulas. He cannot, it appears,
even b„y fertilizer material in bulk
for the purpose of mixing them ac
cording to a formula of his own.
The Atlanta Constitution, report
ing the decision rendered by Attor
ney-General Wright, Bays:
“Sometimes a farmer wants a fer
tilizer made up in accordance with
his own formula, which is unlike any
of those turned out by the fertilizer
plants of Georgia or elsewhere. This
•was the case with 0. M. Witehard,
of. Oglethorpe county, wLo wrote
the department to ask if he could
have a certain fertilizer firm mix up
a fertilizer from materials which it
had on hand, in accordance with a
formula furnished by him, and put
it in 100 pound saoks. The firm in
question also wrote the department,
and both letters were referred to
Attorney• General Wright.
“The attorney general went fully
into the law governing the inspec
tion and sale of fertilizers, and held
that it would be illegal for the fer
tilizer company to make up Buch a
compound. The law requi:e8 that
each brand of fertilizer manufactur
ed, with its analysis, shall be regis
tered at the department of agricul
ture, and the purchaser of such ma
terial cunnot waive the inspection
that is required under the law. Un
der the law governing the sale of
fertilizers in Georgia, Mr. Wright
held that it would be a misdemeun-
for any firm to furnish such, a

Address
An American poet once said: “The
Monarch dreads the printer’s frown.
That was stating the case a little too
strongly, perhaps, but the modern
monarch certainly has respect ‘for
the printer and wishes to gain his
good will. Otherw ; se, the German
Emperor hardly would have looked
with evident approval on the pres
ence of his brother at the banquet
given by the press of the United
States, nor would he have bidden
his brother “to keep in mind that
the press men of the United States
rank almost with my Generals in
command.” From the point of view
of the German Emperor this is, in
deed a compliment'
or
compound in the manner proposed.
“Another question in connection
with the sale of fertilizer materials
was raised by the Yirginia-Oarolina
Chemical Company. This company
wrote a letter to the department
stating that John Bostwick, of Bost-
wick, Ga., was selling bulk acid to
farmers and asked if it was not a vi
olation of the law, since the compa
ny was not permitted to do it. At
torney-General Wright replied that
it was a violation of the law, which
prohibits the sale of bulk fertilizer
materials to any except the manu
facturers.”
In view of tins. decision by the
Attorney-General it may be expect
ed that at the next session of the
legislature there will be a demand
for a change or modification of the
laws of the state governing the sale
of commercial fertilizers at least.

Americaus are known as a dyspep-
peptic people. The extent of this
disease may be inferred from the
multitude of so-called “medicines”
offered as a remedy. They are often
in tablet form and have no value ex
cept as palliatives of the immediate
effects of dyspepsia. The man who
used them may feel better but is
surely getting worse. They do not
touch the real cause of the disease.
