Important Decision

1t is important that you should decide
to take only Feley's Honey and Tar
when you have cough or cold as it will
cure the most obstinate racking cough
and expel the cold from your system.
Foley's Honey and Tar contains no
harmful drugs Insist upon having it. :

Mique Finn, with several "by tunders," stated yesterday that the rumor to the effect that Little Rock would dispose of its franchise was a chestnut.
 He does not believe for a moment that Little Rock will sell it's hold in the Southern league.
 He scoffs at the idea of R. J. Chambers of Montgomery engineering a deal where by Chattanooga will take the place of the Travellers home in the Southern league.

 This remark was greeted with a smile from all who heard it, but Mique de- clared that it was just as probable that Montgomery's franchise would go to Hot Springs as Little Rocks going to Chat tanooga.
 Mobile" continued Finn, 'is a living example of putting a new city into the circuit. No team makes money in that city,
 However. 1t is generally admitted that Mobile has done better from the financial standpoint than Shreveport in the balmy days of that city.

Bran for the Brood Sows.

Where bran can be obtained at a
reasonable figure 1t is one of the most
valuable and profitable feeds to be
used in the ration for breeding soWs.
The SOW that is carrying a litter has
not only her own bodily needs and
growth to maintain, but must furnish
strong muscles and red blood for the
youngsters entrusted to her care. In
order that she may properly perform
these functions she must be furnished
with ZOO elements necessary for the
building up of the essential portions of
the body. Bran, while not a rich food,
in itself, contains a considerable por-
ton of protein and has a general in
MIGRATING effect on the sow's system.
Toward narrowing time it tends to put
the bowels in a loose condition which
is very desirable and it's frequent use
seems to make the sows more active.
Among dairymen. bran is recognized
as a milk producing food and this
holds true when used among the
brood sows. It's constant use is not
advisable. but a nice bran mash fed
three or four times a week during the
last month Of the maternal period will
make The SOW healthier. a better milk
err and tend to produce a strong, ac-
tive let of pigs.

PLAGUE OF THE usLoADED GUN.

The news columns OF the Ilmes-Re-
publican recently recorded another
Observation-Disclosures" tragedy.
Ths.t the youthful victim of careless
ness is alive. With a chance for re-
covery, is not to be credited to those
responsible for his injury.
Guns, from the pocket pistol to the
24-inch machines that go to make up
the armament of the big battleships.
were primarily made to kill. Men OF
science have devoted years of study to
insure their deadliness. People. of in
telligence know their power of de-
struction. knowing this, there are few
accidents from the handling of fire
arms not chargeable directly to wan
ton carelessness. That people will
hazard human life when aware Of these
dangers passeth understanding. 1t is
the weapon presumed to be freed from
its charge that claims more victims
than many Of the dread diseases sci
ence and medicine and money are con-
stantly endeavoring to combat. Yet
little is done to punish individuals who.
kill and MAIN thru carelessness.
Why do otherwise sensible people
permit weapons to be kept loaded about
their premises? Why should the lives
Of their own families and those Of their
neighbors be put in jeopardy by fail
ure to remove q shell and by the plac-
ing Of weapons within reach of chill.
dren? Thoughtless or accidental touch
or Jar of a loaded gun may loose it's
deadly contents and a human life pay
the penalty of heedlessness at any no
ment. If one feels called upon to keep
a Weapon. his first duty when putting
it away should be to remove the load.
Experienced hunters always observe
the rule.
Devotees Of the chase and the traps,
who become familiar. with the use Of
firearms, are the most timid in their
handling. This is not strange. They
know the deadly character of a gun.
Because they know it, accidents to
experienced hunters are comparatively
few, while the fellow who didn't know
it was loaded" becomes an unintention-
al murderer but nevertheless a Grim
inal. And the man who leaves a loaded
weapon accessible OF others is equally
and criminally responsible. Whenever
one child points a gun at another with
deadly results, the person who left the
load in the gun is equally to blame
with the child that supposed it was not
loaded.
