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.

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. Koehler, U. S. A., in “Success” for March. ORlethorpe Eoho. 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 The Heruld FREE one year to every Home Journal subscriber who bays $1.50 strictly in advance. - THE ATLANTA Senii-Weeklx Journal- and the Soutliern Cultivator The Power of The Press.

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.

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. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery is a medicine specially prepared to cure diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. It is not made to give temporary re lief but to effect permanent cure. In ninety-eight cases out of every hun dred it cures perfectly and perma nently.
