Development
In our life it is necessary that
we consider the three parts which
make up our nature. We have
the intellectual, the animal and
the spiritual and these parts
should be developed in order that
we may get tne greatest and
best out of each of them. Unless
we have a sound body we can
not develop our greatest strength
in tne otner parts, a man may
be a great animal as to strength
but a pigmy in intellect or spiri
tually and he may be a weakling
as to bodily strength and a giant
in intellect, ; But these ". two
things aje nothing iif e.-ftre of
when we see school houses . we
say that is for teaching the tr
tellect. When we see athletics
or work, we say that will devel
ope a man in oody. strong as
an ox is current expression
When we see the church, we say
that is for spiritual development.
But when we see the' disparity
between the attendance at school
and the attendance at church,
when we see how little time is
given to religious duty, we rea
lize that most people do not seek
to devolope their spiritual nature
as they develooe intellectually or
physically and the knowledge of
the thines of the SDiritual world
are woefully in the minoritv.
We have no all around develop
ment.
Hook Worm
The News a few weeks ago
had an article on the Hook Worm
and its influence on the people
of bur mountain district. The
papers of the last week1 had
the announcement that John D.
Rockefeller has given a million
dollars to a commission of which
the State Superintendent of In
struction of North Carolina has
been invited to form a part as al
so Prof. Claxton,' who is known
to so many of us and that this
commission is to study the ques
tion and try to remedy this great
disease which is attacking the
people of our Southern Jand.
We may say that the head of the
Standard Oil is taking the money
off the people but on the other
band he Is returning it in large
sums lor tne benent ol tne peo
ple. We trust that this com-
rr ?sion will find the means to
itcp this dread desease which is
sapping the life from the young
rf our land and Is . sending a
;.i cat many to untimely graves
i W'x them more subject to
rcu'.osis and kindred deseas
The Commission is one that

Won't Take TLcIr C
v A Fire Insurance solicitor re
marked that if he could have hi s
way about it, there wouldn't be
any insurance written on saloon
property, but the company want
ed that-kind of business and so
he went to get it from time to
time. "That way I get some
queer glimpses behind the scenes
said he. v "The other day, after
I finished writing up a policy,
the saloonist said to me, 'What
will you have to drink: " ' V
"I thanked him and told him I
didn't drink.' V'
'That's all right, he replied
You're wise. I don't either.
.' 'What's that' said I; 'you
keeping a saloon here and don't
drink vour own iroods what's
tfce reason"
"Re sweDt his hand around
toward his shelves and sneered
'think I'd drink all that dope
there? - A man's nothinir but a
fooi to drink that lot of slop,
That's the worst stuff on eaith
alliusel oil and everv other kind
I0f noison von ever hoard of T
think' too much of my stomach to
pour such-garbage into it.'
What are you selling it to
other men for, then, if you know
fit to drink?" His an
swer was what I expected:
'For the monoy that's in it,'
Another day I happened in
at a very elegant 'family liquor
store' on the South Side a place
where nothing was sold to drink
on the premises, and m hich made
a specialty of catering to the
trade of ladies out shopping for
their home tables. As I talked
with the proprieter he happened
to mention in some way that he
was a teetotaler. I asked him
how that was. He answered
with a crisp laugh:
Oh, I know how the stuff is
made.'
And he was selling high
grade goods for the best trade."
A gentleman who heard these
stories remarked:
I have a business acquaint
ance who is connected with the
Schlitz brewery. He told me
the other day that the Schlitz
Company is practically out of
business South of the Ohio R1v
4MB3etL selliae virtually

Probably . the best known
criminologist and alienist in the
world was Cesare Lombroso,
who died at Turin, Italy, on
Tuesday of last week. Lorn
broso, born in Venice of Jewish
parents seventy three years ago,
was educated at the University
of Turin and became an army
surgeon after he had gained con
sideration reputation as a scien
tist while still a youth.' In 1862
having been called to the depart-
ment mental diseases in the
university or f adua, ne Degan
rllc ol,uu'ca Ui ,Vaauiv ,VU1UU 'BU
to his fame. His theory that
criminals are born to their fate
and that they should be treated
for disease instead of being pun
ished, for a long time aroused
much more ridicule and criticism
than approval But while' the
idea never has been fully accept
ed, the world'came to recognize
in Lombroso a genius whose Ut
terances were always worth con
sideration. It is interesting" to
recall that Lombroso many years
ago investigated the disease pel
lagra, tracing it to badly grown
maize, t or a long period ; Pro
fessor Lombroso held a chair at
the University of Tu rin,. also
maintaining his medical practice.
In later life he became interest
ed in r spiritualism,' but is said
never to have definitely accept
ed the theories of the spiritualist
sect.
