ONE OF DEMOCRAT FORCE EDITS COLORADO WEEKLY The Democrat is in receipt of a j copy of the Aurora Sentinel, published at Aurora, Colorado, a suburban town of Denver. Below the editorial! caption we find the unpretentious line' "Jim Rivers, Editor." The she?-t isj a live one, the local news and editorial features are especially well prepared, showing the results of .some regular work. It might be added that "Jim Rivers,. Editor'* stepped :nto his present position 10 fill a vac.o - v caused by the resignation of a University trained journalist of extensive experience, and that his efforts have proven satisfactory to the constituency of that sheet is attested by nr sages received by the new management complimenting the editor for his unusually interesting w rite ups, especially as to the municipal administration, and other political affairs. We congratulate Jim on the matter contained in and the general appearance of the Sentinel. HAVE A GARDEN Would you be strong and healthy. Have a garden:: Would you be wise and wealthy. Have a garden.

HAS AM 1STAKE BEEN MADE ABOUT EASTER? W. B. Bell in the Morganton NewsHerald. All the almanacs, the purveyors of fashion, and other folks interested in dresses and the like say tha tEaster is next Sunday but 1 don't believe it. Ail my life 1 have heard and read that the way to tell when Easter Sunday comes* is by the following rule: That the first Sunday after the first full moon after the twenty first of March is Easter Sunday . This year the full moon after the 21st of March is on Aoril first, and the moon fulls, according to the almanacs at 8:10 a. m. As the sun rises before eight o'clock and the day has already begun it seems to me that the true Easter would be the following Sunday April 8h. The late John Low man of Burke county, was a fine observer of the moon and stars and he often stated that Easter could not come until there had been four fuii moons in the year. This vear we had a full moon on the following dates; January 2, February 1, and March 2 and with the full moon 'coming next Sunday, according to Mr. Lowman El. ter would not be until April Sth. However like the negro 1?ho was placed in jail on a certain charge and the lawyer told him he could not be placed in prison for that offense, said, "Boss, I don't know whether they can put me in jail for that or not, but I does know that I am in here. So it makes no difference. Someone has fixed Easter for April 1st, and we will be regaled with the spring finery and the flashy headgear on that date, moon or no moon. Do you take Your County Paper?

March 31.?Dr. Scale Harris, of Birmingham. Ala., a brother of Senator W. I. Harris of Georgia, declared tonight in a lecture to the physicians in the United States Veterans Bureau of Neuropsychatric School that pellagra is a negligible factor in the South. He said that statistics obtained from the health officers of the Southern States show that there are not more than ".,000 ease- of pellagra amoTTg tin .'">.000,000 inhabitants in she South. Pellegra. he explained, ?' is a tropical disease, having th< . same distribution in the United tSates as hookworm and malaria and said that in his opinion th < ..use of pellegra ha.- not been di: eove.ed. An uid uilanced diet a. t as a n? c-dhaios;r.ir :: - it ?l.w; ii tuberculosis, he explained. I?r. Harris further stated that i hookworm and malaria art' ra,.idl\ eradicated from the South aiul p that even now those diseases arc, j , found only in comparatively stunk r.cis o; tile rural districts and thai \ in a it.w' years they would cea:c to , , exist in the United States. He qu< <1 \ Hene.?il Corpus as say in gthut is much easier and cheaper to prot. a jM family agains tropical diseases in y the South than against the co'd win- c; ters it! the North. ni i'r. Harris asserted that today, sc since tropical diseases have h? en f.j largely eliminated, the South i. tne Ql most neaithful part ri the ' .clod sl States, the death rate for the whites nl of tac South being lower than in w other etions of the country. i'he nejro death rate is about twice that of the whites because the negroes .? are a race of children and have not yet learned to take care of them- y selves, he added. cj POOR CHANCE FOR HIM He?What would your father do if ^ I told him I wanted to marry you? 0I She?He'd refer the matter tu me. ?
