LEARN FINE ART OF RESTING
Ability to Oo aad Work Depends on
One's Knowing Just How to Spend
Leisure Time.
Rest is a blessing laid up DTF the
tired only, not for the pleasure seeker.
It is a relaxation from toil, not a new
thrill for the bored. It is not a pickle
following a feast -of cake, nor is it
within reach of the lazy. It is a gift
for the sole use and behoof of him
who has toiled. No one reaches the
door leading to rest without first pass
ing through the workroom.
Most tired folk have wasted much
good strength, but this folly does not
bar them from entering into the house
of rest. If all- lived wisely there would
be need of few hospitals, and If only
those who labored wisely rested there
would, be no rest for the race this side
of the cemetery.
“Stonewall” Jackson, whose army
corps was swift of foot, used to say:
“I like to see my men lie flat on their
backs. A man rests more that way.”
That is the primitive way of resting.
Mother Earth has a broad lap and a
restful way of holding her children.
A wise physician, when sending a
patient on his summer vacation re
cently, said: “On your drive don’t try
to get anywhere. Any place is a good
place to stop, if you stop before you
are tired. Don’t try to cover any pre
scribed distance in one day. Don’t
make or keep any engagements. Be
criminally lazy. Avoid folks. Fish.
When tired of fishing, lie down under
a tree and look up. If you fall asleep,
sleep. When you wake up. fish some
more. Forget that you ever lived be
fore that one day.”
The ability of a man to fill his mind
full of one day depends on his having
trained himself to see things out of
doors, to fill himself with the Immedi
ate pleasant present without huving to
draw on the unpleasant past. Happy
Is that man who can get 14 days of
rest out of a two weeks' vacation.
The ability to live well the remain
der of the year may lie wholly in
knowing how to occupy those two
weeks, for if one learns on this sum
mer outing that the art of resting in
cludes the fine art of forgetting, he
may practice the same art throughout
the year at home In his little rest
spells. What a man brings out of the
rest room depends largely on whether
or not, when going In, he remembered
to shut the door behind him
Why America Succeeds in China.
“Chinese-Japanese friendship has
long been on the lips of both Japanese
and Chinese, but with little result,”
says the Tokyo Nlchi-nlehi. “Equally
true It is that a feeling of reliance od
America is growing apace in China.”
The editor then explains the situation
by mentioning the consideration shown
to China by the government of the
United States in renouncing the Boxer
indemnity, in generous treatment giv
en to Chinese students, and in Amer
ican educational work carried on in
China. The chief reason which is de
laying the realization of Chinese-Jap
anese cordiality, the editor thinks, is
that the Chinese do not accurately un
derstand how necessary is political and
economic friendship for the good of
the two countries. Japan needs raw
materials and has money enough to
pay for them, while China’s resources
are inexhaustible, but she has no mon
ey to develop them. Then, too, the
Russian menace is at China's front
dcor. In conclusion, the editor of the
Nichi-nichi urges a Chinese-Japanese
chamber of commerce.
Getting Ready to Work
My son tells a story of when he
was at Camp Logan. He is a ste
nographer, and part of his duties were
to carry daily reports from camp to
brigade headquarters, and from his let
ters at the time, was kept pretty busy.
Along his route were civilian mechan
ics and laborers working, one of whom
always seemed to be getting ready to
work, usually measuring a piece of
pipe or looking at it.
One day the soldier stopped and
looked on. The workman noticed him,
and after laying the piece of pipe care
fully on the edge of the ditch said,
“Well, young feller, they keep you
humpin’, don’t they.? How do you like
the army so far? You don’t get much
time to loaf, do you?"
The soldier answered, “I like this
army all right, but the next army I
join I’ll tell them I’m a plumber.”—
Chicago Tribane.
Minor Consideration.
“You are mispronouncing the names
of places where these battles oc
curred."
“That’s all right If our boys had
stopped to argue about the pronun
ciation they might not have won the
battles so quickly.”
WHY SPECULATE?
Agriculturists of international reputation are calling for
better farming. Scientific fertilization is necessary. Use
a fertilizer that is manufactured of the highest grades of raw
material. You can make no mistake in buying your fertilizers

FARMERS GIVEN j
MORE TIME TO
ORDERNITRATE;
The time which farmers of Sumter
| county are allowed to make their or
j ders for nitrate of soda from the gov
| ernment has been extended to Febru
| ary 15, according to an announcement '
| made today by George O. Marshall,
j county farm demonstration agent He
I stated that orders may be made
; through the same -committee that has
handled the matter up to this time,
! namely: Joseph'Perkins or>George'-0.
| Marshall, at the Chamber of Com
merce, Americus; Sam Hoys, deputy
clerk of the Superior court; W, L
Thomas, Plains and W. T. Anderson,
Leslie.
Nitrate of soda is being sold to the
farmers through the Bureau of Mar
kets at $Bl per ton, f. o. b. landing j
point, ports. General arrangements!
have been made by the department to j
secure* large quantities of nitrate i
through the War Department. Unless
the demand is greater than anticipated,
this will be enough to supply all rea
sonable requirements.
Nearly 1,000 tons of nitrate have j
been ordered by Sumter farmers al- i
ready, but the extension of time is j
expected to result in a considerable i
increase in demand. Many farmers ;
have been holding off buying their fer- :
tilizer materials as long as possible, ;
and some who desired nitrate let the :
time limit as first set expire without
getting their orders in. It is to ac
commodate these, and at the same time ;
assist in greater production this year,
that the government has made the ;
“time extension.

“Peterloo Massacre."
The Peterloo massacre is the name
given to the dispersal of a meeting of
Lancashire cotton operatives in St.
Peter’s field, Manchester, England,.
July 16, 1819, called to discuss parlia
mentary reform. Eleven were killed
and more than 500 hurt by the consta
bulary .• Hence the name Peterloo was
made from the name of the field in
fancied resemblance to that of Water
loo.
The Voice.
Some expert announces that the hu
man voice is produced by forty-four
different muscles. It might be added
that when those forty-four muscles are
not co-ordinating as they should the
resulting sound often produces violent
agitation in at least forty-four different
nerves in the party of the second part,
if there happens to be such within
hearing,—Providence Bulletin.
Wisdom in Tolerance.
The tolerant man is the open-mind
ed man, the mentally-balanced.>man,
the understanding man. He knows that
ne himself is not the sole repository
of human wisdom. He knows that
wisdom will not die when he does. He
knows that usually he can learn some
thing from the humblest of his asso
ciates.
Intensifying Blue Prints.
An under-exposed blue-print can be
intensified by moistening its surface
with i» sponge dampened with peroxide ■
of hydrogen. Old blue-print paper]
whieh would otherwise produce an in
distinct copy need not be thrown away
if treated with peroxide after the print
has been exposed and “fixed.”
Tantalum's Great Value.
Tantalum, owing to Its hardness,
makes good material for writing pens,
which are less expensive than iridium- J
tipped gold nibs. Pens from this metal,'
treated with a special hardening proc
ess, prove superior to all others, and
are not corroded by any inks.
Use of Oxalic Acid.
In using oxalic acid to remove any
Ink stain always follow with a few
drops of juvelle water, which counter
acts and neutralizes the oxalic acid.
! Then rinse with boiling water to re
move both of these chemicals, so tha
I the fiber will remain untouched.
