Wear Cotton UndercEothes.
From LcSlic'S Weekly.)

Should wool, C tton or linen be worn next to
the skin: wool has its devotees, who would
look on discarding their mcrinO or flannel
vest or drawers as a risk of life. Medical
opinion has radically changed in recent
years. and now many, if not most, doctors
favor cotton or linen next the skin. wool
absorbs pcrspiration and retains it; it
absorbs it with difficulty 1t first, but
slrrenderS it to the surrounding air with
even greater difficulty, Cotton, on the other
hand, asks only an opportunity to dry,
which it does as rapidly as possibly, the
best plan in cold weather is to wear
cotton or linen next to the skin, with wool
outer clothing. the wool excludes moisture
and cold, while the cotton absorbs the
perspiration quickly and dries even more
quickly. This it does without chilling The
body if the latter has an outer covering of
wool. in this climate where houses and
Offices are generally overheated in winter.
and the transition from indoors tn outdoors
is attended hy Il far greater change in
temperature than in mildcr climates, where
the houses are not kept as hot us they are
in america, it is better to wear cotton CT
linen u~ndercluthcs and to rely upon heavy
outer garments to resist the cold air,

MIR. Aiken's Prohibition Bill.

We publish in full Mr.. Aiken's prohibi-
ton bill introduced in Congress last week,
proposing to make dry the District of Col
umbia.
Mr.. Aiken doubtless believes that owing
to the fact that all eyes from every part of
the nation are focused on the capitol city,
that this place, above all others, is the
proper place in which to try the merits or
dement's Of prohibition.
The bill introduced, if enacted into law,
will give the Washingtonians a working
base for absolute prohibition. If liquor is
sold in the district after the passage of this
bill, the fault will be with the public Off
Gals and the people, and not with the law.

BENEFITS FROM ~ExTERMINATING
TICKS.
Practical Advantages Realized in Areas
Freed from These Pests.

The benefits of discriminating cattle
ticks are being realized in q very practl-
cal way in the parts OF the South that
have been freed from these pests and re-
leased from quarantine. DR.. A.. d. Mel
vim, chief of the United States bureau Of
animal industry, in his annual report re-
Gently submitted to the Secretary OF
agriculture, has the following to say on
this subject;
can investigation recently made by the
bureau in this territory shows that great
improvement has already resulted from
this work. More cattle are being raised,
and q better grade of breeding stock Is be-,
ing introduced; calves grow faster, and
cattle put on flesh more rapidly during
the grazing season and g0into the winter
in better condition because Of the absence
of The ticks; they call be NJ lrketed with
out quarantine restrictions, and higher
prices are being obtained; dairy COWS give
q larger yield of milk, and values of farm
lands are enhanced. ASIDE from its own
observations, the bureau has received from
persons in the released territory numer-
letters and other expressions confirming
the foregoing facts II testlfying to the
great benefits following the determination
Of the ticks.
"'The difference between the prices
realized for cattle from the tickinfested
region and the prices of cattle OF similar
grades from above the quarantine line
ranges from S2.25 to IS a head at the
principal northern livestock markets,
without taking into account the improve
ment in quality and weight OF cattle be-
cause of the eradication OF the TICKS. AS
more than LOCO, 900 cattle from the quar-
antined area are annually sold in these
markets, it can easily be seen that the ex,
termination of the ticks means an annual
increase Of at least $3,0U0,00 in the prices
obtained for southern cattle sold in north
ern markets. In addition to this, the In
crease in prices Of cattle sold locally In
the South would represent q large sum.
This local increase has already been found
to amount to from So to SIS a head IN the
territory recently freed from ticks, An
agricultural official Of one OF the Southern
States reports that calves in the tlck-free
area bring just double the price that can
be obtained for similar calves in the tlck-ln-
tested region.
Heretofore it has been impracticable to
improve the quality Of southern cattle by
introducing fine breeding animals from
other sections, because such animals were
liable to contact Texas fever and die unless
protected by incubation. Furthermore,
it is impossible for animals to attain
good growth and to thrive when they are
heavily infested with ticks. With the
eradication Of the ticks, however, the
southern farmers are enabled to produce
good breeding animals and to improve the
grade Of their stock

so comforting. But we have more than
words to assure us that all is well with
their recorded lives, and the memory OF
their good deeds and their good works are

The frequency with which men are sud
denly stricken down admonishes survivors
to put their own houses in order, for they
know neither the day nor the hour when
the summons may come to them. Besides
these at Due West, other saddcn deaths
have occurred. W. ?. Wideman, brother
in-law of Mr.. Boyce, was called suddenly
duriug the Christmas holidays, after
spending a day in pleasure at home Will
invited guests and kindred. Amid song
and music, he said, Il feel so strange.
That was all. He fell to dust even while
the anthem trembled on his lips.

p. ST. would like to add that
your arguement for the abolition
of the State Convict Farms and
the placing Of these convicts on
on the public roads in my opinion
is the very best thing that could
be done by the State and will do
more good for the improvement
of our public roads than anything
that has ever been tried.
