QUESTIONING BACTERIA By La
bal EXPLOSIONS.n

The AUSTIN STATESMAN, with
grave but iulile anxiety tor the pu olic
health, observes: "In these days of
bacteria there is no more foolish and
dangerous habit than that of kissing.
The germs of disease carried about in
the Mouth and on the lips OF human
beings are as numerous as the sands
on the sea shore, and there is no more
certain way OF sowing and spreading
disease than that of oscillation" The
STATESMAN is talking through its
headgear and against the cyclone.
People will kiss or die. Then it is very
questionable whether the transmits
sion of bacter a from lip to
lip is as dangerous as The
STATESMAN contends. Ii the
lips are red you may
know they have no rods on them. If
they have, why let them be fairly and
equally divided. 1t would be ungal
liant in any man to stink away like a
coward and leave an army OF bacil-
lariae as hungry as spoils politicians
or Sandwich island spectators to con-
sumo couple of labial rosebuds with
out adventuring at any risk to scatter
he consumers by a few timely ex-
plusions. Besides 1t IL admitted that
parasites are themselves consumed by
parasites; that every germ of destrLc-
sion has within itself germs for it's
own destruction; that when bacteria
meet bacteria they thickly form into
ranks OF war, and they destroy each
other without mercy. Bacteria OF
different families are as bad abOuG
ringing each others necks and stabbiDg
each other to the heart as are game
chickens fed upon gunpowder for six
months. So II may be that OSCILLATION is
sitter all the only remedy for bacteria
A young man afflicted by q spunky
breed of jointed staff meets blooming
girl who is the victim of a ravenous
horde of high grade Jersey bacillariae
and they decide for mutual protection
, to mix the beast by an explosion that
will scatter them heller SHELTER from
lip to lip. The mixed microbes are
then given "a long, weary hours to
fall to and devour each other. If the
eradication is not complete, repeat the
explosion until the rafters shake and
the moon tails behind the western
hills at midnight. IL this remedy is
repeated o few times both patients
will forget that there was ever q
microbe on earth. The STATESMAN
means well. 1t is to be commended
for it's noble aspiration to
rid mankind of the bacterial plague
But it Is carried away by excess Of
bactericidal enthusiasm. Its heroic
effort in that behalf to break up the
kissing habit is magnificent, but being
predestined failure, it is not war. The
habit is more than habit AS q pri
mordial disposition it is everlastingly
fixed In the dual and reciprocal ma
lures of men and women. In the

Care and Cleanliness, Not Luck, the Causes

Business methods in the of poultry, as
i'll any other business, Is the one great secret
OF success. No business properly proSpers
without some due regard for cause and effect

TO details the greater the reward in poultry
raising. 1t is often remarked that such u
person is extremely lucky raising poultry.
Ibe writer has Il case III view illustrating
the success OF one of these lucky poultry
rAiSers-a lady, who started about three years
ago with trio of Plymouth Rocks. She had
never had any experience raising poultry,
having always lived III the city. only a gOOu

about $50. The chickens are remarkably large
for Their age at ali times, averaging consider
ably heavier than chicks of the same breed
raised by others. Chicks at two months old
weighed two and half pounds, and some
of lhe cockerelS when less than six months
old weighed seven and half pounds. The
pullets this season commenced to lay before
they were six npntls Old. The food given is
always of the best, and is prepared, that is
the breakfast with care. Each morning
meal every day j. the year is mixed with
Scalding water. The ingredients are either
corn meal and wheat bran, at the rate of two
parts meal to one of bran, or hOminY chop

latter These are mixed thoroughly before
ScaIding. Many W0ad consider it entirely
too troublesome to mix this food every day

the summer to the hens, though the growing
chicks have cracked corn, and after they are
