How shall we explain the absorb ing interest in baseball and football? In baseball we have a game combining three of the most deep seated racial in stinctsthe instinct to throw, to run and to strike. During untold periods of the life history of our race survival has come to him who could throw the straightest, run the swiftest and strike the hardest. To throw something at something is almost as natural for a boy as to breathe. Throwing, batting, running, are no longer of any service in this age of mind, but thev were the conditions of survival in the distant past. Baseball reinstates those ancient attitudes and brings a thrill of cherlnhed memories. Any one who has ever held a bat in hand and assumed the expectant atti tude of the batter knows the peculiar thrill which is explained only by re calling that his distant ancestors in just that attitude beat down with a real club many an opposing foe, wheth er man or beast, and those who held clubs in this position and struck hard quickly survived and transmitted this instinct. The awkward throw of girls, like the left arm throw of boys, is widely known. The plays of girls reveal their own set of instincts recalling the hab its of primitive. "We are the descend ants of those men who could throw and those women who loved children." From "The Psychology of Relaxa tion," by G. T. W. Tatrick. Unchecked. "How did Teller get his cold?" "All the drafts In the bank go through his cage." Boston Transcript Coal Hauling In Japan. A coal truck is unknown in Japan. It would be a nine days' wonder in the Flowery Kingdom, for they have seen coal hauled only by hand. The coal is put in baskets that hold about forty pounds aud so handled and delivered. The baskets are piled on a two wheel ed wagon, and two men with ropes round their shoulders pull the wagon to the house of the rich person who can afford to buy coal. Then they car ry the coal in, dump it out of the bas kets and carefully carry back the bas kets. The men wear white cloths over their heads to keep the dust out of their hair and as a protection from the sun. The Way It'toes. "This is an odd way girls have of getting into society." "How is it odd?" "Why, to get in they first have to come out." New York Journal. It is the appreciation, not of the in dulgent, but of the exacting, that counts. Stingy. "They tell me that Blank is awfully stingy." "He is! Why, if that fellow killed two birds with one stone he would want the stone back!" Exchange. HOME DUTIES. "Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home." When you want consolation go home When you want to show your self at your best go home and do the act there. When you feel like being extra liberal go home and practice on your wife and children first. When you want to shine with unusual brilliancy go home and light up the whole household.

Apr. 18,1916, Editor Palatka News, Palatka, Fla. In your announcement column I see that my old friend, G. F. Bullard, is asking the voters of your county tor the place he now tills. For for ty years I have known him; he wa3 assessor in Georgia four years and re signed the place in 1889 to make his home in Florida. He helped me in a merchandise store at Hawthorne, then married and moved to Putnam and then became an orange grower. The freezes "knocked him out" twice and then he sold his place at a sacrifice to better educate his children. They are now a credit to him. His wife being in ill health all the while has, of course, Oeen an expense to him, but I watched him along, and he has, with the office the good people gave him, managed to go since these freezes. He is one who has lived right and made friends all the time, and 1 am so sure that he will continue thus, and shall watch and hope for his suc ces in the coming race. The tried ones of his kind are the ones to be retained and not exchanged for new ones who might not be as efficient. Yours &c, THOS. J. McRAE. (Paid Adv.) ATTENTION KNIGHTS TEM PLAR.

VISIT YOUR DAIRY Have you ever visited the dairy trom which you get your milk? If not, how do you know as to the clean liness of the milk you are getting and as to the sanitary condition of the bottles in which it is delivered to vou ? The bottle delivered to you today may not have been sterilized and may have been returned to the dairyman yesterday from a sick room where there is measles, mumps, whooping cough, scarlet fever, dyphtheria or some other contagious disease. And this endangers the lives of your chil dren. Is this not a matter well worth the attention of every parent to Consider, that in a single year the in fant deaths in New York city were reduced more than one-fourth simply by providing for inspection of the city's milk supply.
