In the light of what men and women of that day endured and what thev accomplished in bring ing prosperity to the South the disadvantage:, under which the South now ia'N'ts by reason of a lower price of cotton than was ex pected are so trifling email that the people of ;hi section who have been pessimistic should bow their heads in shame that they are not proving worthy sons of the worthy si) es of 18(51 to 1805. What a marvelous record the South of that day made! How it started the revival of agriculture, without capital or livestock! How it" soon began the building of fur naces and mills- and the opening! of coal mines ! How it immediately j began a great educational cam paign, and out o: its poverty gave j freely to maintenance of churches I ai d the establishment of schools! j The men and women of that! day were of heroic mold. Tried in ! I he fire, 1 hey came out of tin- . furnace without the : m<^l of ! smoke upon them. There was no j cringing. There was no plea for j help. Following the thousands of Bettys who voiced unto their loved ones the spirit of Miss Glasgow's Betty, they taught themselves how to live at home, how to produce sit home the Vegetables and othe< foodstuffs Which they needed. They taught to themselves and to their! fellow-workers the glorious '(length born of optimism, of ini tiative. of self-reliance and of a noral backbone unbendable under mv afflictions. They were men ir.d women of giant mold, tally and spiritually. men In contrast with what they en dured and what they accomplished, every pessimist in the South of ti day, every grumbler against conditions, should realize that he j has fallen short of the standard set by the men and women who redeemed the South from the pov erty of 1865; who asked no help from the Federal Government, no help from legislation, but only the t ight to work and to keep on i working.

History offers innumerable texts for sermons on the wisdom of land ownership and proves the foresight of the founders of our nut!ou in ac quiring great territories for unliiu Ited expansion. Land ownership, mistaken for na tional pride, lias caused the ma jority of tin- world's great conflicts. William the Conqueror, lit estab lishing the feudal system, founded Hie law of primogeniture so that great estates might i>e preserved intact, and the holders obligated to Mn> crown in terms of men and money. The effort it had was to send forth adventurous younger sons In settreh f lands of their own. liven feudalism eould not stn-eessfully eombat the instinct to acquire und own laud. For That Tired Feeling Meat seems to lie almost at the bead of the list of iron foods; oys ters are tiot far behind; spinach is as valuable ns we have been taught to regard It : other leafy vegetables, such as cabbage, lettuce and chard, cannot compare with spinach. Many of the fruits and vegetables are low iu iron, much lower than some of us have believed. I’runes nnd raisins, however, deserve a high rank, just us we h:;-e sup posed. Potatoes are surprisingly good; indeed, they are better than many of the other vegetables, that is. If they are not depleted by care less preparation. Eggs are valu able. Whole cereals and bread made from lilt* entire grain are Im portant sources of iron. Dried beans are good iron foods. Al tbougit-the glass ,t>f--iiiilk cj-pes not contain much iron,”if taken in cus tomary large amounts milk becomes quite Important as u source of iron, t.'ane molasses is a much better source of iron titan sugar.—The Delineator. Medical Mistletoe In the former days it was be lieved that the mistletoe had some mysterious medicinal virtues, bur, it was thought, to become a really efficacious remedy all mistletoe used medicinally must be plucked from nn onk tree upon which the parasite rarely grows, it was con sidered unlucky to cut this, or to sell it. In 10.17 the only oak known to bear mistletoe grew in .Norwood, England. Some persons cut this mistletoe and sold pieces to London apothecaries at 10 shillings each. Accordingly we read that of these "sacrilegious wretches one fell in me, each of the others lost tut eye, and the ringleader broke his leg." -. \ Unshaved Saints English artists in stained glass have Jieon perturbed by the com plaint of the chancellor c< the dio ceke of Chester that ecclesiastical Windows do tlie saints sparse jus tice iq presenting these holy men wearing beards. Artists in stained glass retort that they aspire to present their subjects with as much accuracy as possible, and that his tory shows most of tlie saints wore beards, especially as they labored in countries where conditions ren dered shaving difficult and unus ual. Thus, despite protests of the offended chancellor, stained glass windows In churches will in future, as in the past, present views of saints "bearded like the pnrd.” The World Too Much It seems to me tlmt everybody needs occasionally to ;,et away from peoi'le nurt things. They crowd In on you. so tint you can’t think things out, quietly and surolr. Life gifts all muddled tip. y0'u can't see where you are going. You don’t know whether you are think ing your own thoughts or merely thinking the echoes of other peo ple's. 1 believe a pi nee of escape keeps you from leasing yourself, if you (ret away and lintl out whether the ihlng you are doing is what you really intended to do. — Glenn Hunter, In the American Magazine. Ravages of Epidemics Four and five centuries ago, the Black plague ravaged mankind with a severity and a ferociousness un paralleled today. During one great epidemic one-fourth of the world's populace was depleted in the short space of two years. Like a great festering, tnlasnilc wave, periodically the foul tenta cles of plague have swept over the world. Centuries ago it was lep rosy, then syphilis, then the Bu bonic or Black plague, then small pox and lateiwthe great respiratory plagues of Iniluenra, pneumonia and sometimes infantile paralysis.
