Boil weeyiI Can't be Eradlcated.

Shreveport, Ia, December IA
To. days proceedings of the boil vice.
vii convention were marked by ad-
dresses and papers treating of the
boil weevil. A number of govern
ment experts were listed to speak.
These experts declare the weevil a
great evil and ineradicable. They
tell of the destruction wrought by
the pest and next assert that cotton
can be produced in spite of it. One
of the speakers, not on the program,
got the floor by special permission of
the convention and argued in favor
of his contention that by using Paris
green the weevil can be exterminated.
The trend OF opinion is that the
wcevil will survive until it's mission
shall have been accomplished. All
that can be done is to fortify against
it, or fight it. An element in the
convention favor something in the
nature of martial law over the in
tested districts requiring the land to
be turned out and thus cut off the
post of food supply.
The convention program was cut
short day by the non-appearance of
gentlemen who had agreed to speak.
Notwithstanding the fact that no
plan for the destruction of the wee-
will has been proposed, the conven-
ton has proved body of good
listeners.
A feature of the government ex-
perts' remedy is diversification of
crops. AS quite all of these gentle
men are from the North and West,
they SEQ the plan as something wholly
new in this section of the country.
That was the method which prevailed
throughout the South up to 1865.
Then cotton was made a surplus
money crop and the plan made the
South a,country of wealthy planters
and farmers.
BY far the most important action
taken by the convention was that
with reference to holding cotton for
10 cents, the true price. The mem
bers expressed themselves this. morn
ing as more than delighted with the
unanimous action last night.

ing w. more food to keep up the
heat the body and enable it to re-
sist coldN But where the trouble
con lin is that many people during
the Inter make their diet exclusively
OF le heat and fat producing foods,
le tbg out fruits and green vege-
= les entirely. This is sure to pro-
be bad results, and often is the
hse Of various skin diseases, and
lakes one more liable to contract
uch diseases as smallpox, scurvey,
)etc.
AT least at one meal throughout
the whole winter fresh or canned
fruit or vegetables should be eaten.
Eat plentifully of onions, celery and
lettuce. In the city these last three
can be had in the markets nearly the
whole year round, but in the country
perhaps the celery and lettuce canuot
be obtained during the winter
months. But onions can always be
had, and there are canned tomatoes,
of which nearly every housewife has
q supply, and these should be eaten
just as they are taken from the can,
with salt and pepper, and perhaps a
little, vinegar added. Cranberry
sauce is splendid dish to go along
with the winter dinner, and apples,
either raw, baked or made into sauce,
will keep the system free from many
Impurities.
The large amount of heterogeneous
and carbonaceous food eaten makes
it necessary that the system should
be supplied with just the acids, vege-
table juices and earthly salts that
these fruits and vegetables contain.
They are antiscorbutic in their effect,
and tend to keep the system cleansed
from all Impurities. Winter pimples,
eczema, smallpox, scurvy and rheu-
matism prevail in the winter simply
because so little fruit and vegetables
are eaten. There is no reason why
these diseases should be any more
prevalent in winter. 1t is largely
matter of diet.
Don't settle down to ration of
pork and n-bread, baked beans
and fried potatoes. Eat meat If you
must, and eat corn bread and beans
and potatoes, also. They are good
foods-good enough for anybody if
properly cooked, but with your meat
and beans and potatoes eat fruits and
vegetables. Mix an onion with your
potato, eat tomatoes with your beans,
and apple sauce with your meat. Bal
ance your diet, and you will be
healthier and in better condition to
resist the contagious of winter.-E.

STRANGE CAT IN NATIONAL zoe
He Is an African serval, but Resem
bles Texas Wildcat.

He Is an African ServaI, but Resem.
bIes Texas Wildcat.
Lying peacefully in one corner Of
his cage in the National zoo in Wash
inEton, watching visitors with his lit
tie beady, rat-like eyes, is the newly
imported African serval, a member of
the cat family. He is one of the first
seen in this country, and gets lot of
attention, both on this account and
because Of his 'grotesque appearance.
He resembles the Texas wild cat in
general contour and coloring, but his
markings are more distinct and regu-
lar, and his long, pointed ears are not
tufted as are those of his wildcat
brother. The serval has dog-like
muzzle, which, combined with his
long, dropping whiskers, gives him a
decidedly Chinese cast of counte-
nance. Although not personally beau
tiful, he seems to have cheerful and
philosophical disposition, and PAGES
up and down or lies curled up near
the bars all day without making a
sound. There is some speculation
among his keepers as to whether, If
he chose, he could new, or howl, or
bark, for SO far he hasn't uttered q
single sound-New York Times.
