will be found of intense value and interest to the farmer who wants to know how to gain the best results. There is a refreshing lack of scientific terms and phrases; the language is simple, the statements clear and concise, the illustrations plentiful, and the make-up of the book good.

The chapters dealing with corn cultivation should be of greatest value to the Southern planter, as this crop has become a most formidable rival of cotton in the Southern states.

A splendid chapter on the cultivation of peanuts will be of more than passing interest to farmers who have never thought of the possibilities of this popular nut. The vines make good hay, there is always a good market for the nuts, and the surplus is a splendid feed for horses and hogs.

Altogether "Southern Field Crops" is an intensely interesting book and should become a familiar one to the Southern planter who wants the best results from his land at the smallest possible loss.

A NEW CONTRIBUTION TO LITERA-
TURE DEALING WITH NAPOLEON.
(From The Indianapolis (Ind.) Star.)
When the purely literary efforts of
Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, are con-
sidered one cannot but wish that Mr. Wat-
son had confined his activities to a strictly
literary career, for there is a clean and
clear-cut merit to his writings when freed
from economics, which shows that Mr. Wat-
son has ability of a high order. There are
few more enjoyable books than Mr. Wat-
son's "Napoleon," in which he considers the
great Corsican largely from the human
side. Now comes "Waterloo," a little vol-
ume of 146 pages, in which Mr. Watson
analyzes that historic battle and endeavors
to give the reasons for Napoleon's failure.
The reasons are so many that they can not
be set forth in a short review of "Water-
loo," but perhaps they are best summed up

in the scornful words of Fouche, the French minister of police, who secretly hated Napoleon and professionally betrayed him at every opportunity. Fouche said: "Napoleon is a played-out character." Mr. Watson wonders why Napoleon evidenced so many mistakes in military tactics on the field and why he dozed in a half-stupor during the progress of the battle. Perhaps the autopsy held on Napoleon's body after his death at St. Helena might furnish a partial explanation. His stomach was found to be so destroyed by a cancerous growth that there was scarcely an inch of tissue left fit for the reception of food. Modern science now teaches us that powerful toxins are developed under such conditions, and, sent into the circulation, give rise to auto-intoxication. These toxins act similarly to drugs and Napoleon, in a medical sense, may be said to have been drugged for the last ten years of his life. Mr. Watson has written an intensely interesting review of "Waterloo" and the book is well worth a place on the library shelf of those interested in Napoleonic bibliography.

Du Barrie Positive French Method is different from anything else ever brought before American women. By this method, any ladyyoung, middle aged or elderly-may develop her bust from 2 to 8 inches in 30 days, and see definite results in 3 to 5 days, no matter what the cause of the lack of development. It is based on scientific facts absolutely.

This method has been used in Europe with astounding success, and has been accepted as the most positive method known.

study."-Birmingham Age-Herald.

[ocr errors]

This novel is absolutely unique in English literature and with the exception of none is the only attempt to be philosophically accurate in handling this all-absorbing race theme. It is a virile, honest, red-blooded presentation of the greatest factor in American life.
