The South Invites Taft to Return

Southern newspapers are prompt to
resent the insult to the south which
certain democratic members of con-
gress offered in attacking the presi-
dent for exceeding his prescribed trav-
cling expenses. Some of these critics
were southern members and they put
the south in the humiliating attitude
of having offered its hospitality to the
president, then denouncing him for
accepting it.
But those representatives were not
representing the south or rejecting its
true sentiment. The south is speak
ing out and instead of Directing to the
president spending this travel money
to visit that section urges him to
come again" and not stop to reckon
on the cost. The Commercial club OF
Augusta, where the president spent his
time between election and Inaugural
ton, says the latch string is always
out to Mr.. Taft and offers to foot all
the travelling expenses, IL congress does
not want to. Savannah is equally cor
dial in its hospitality. The Savannah
Press says the people of Georgia are
impatient for the time when the presi
dent will feel free to enter upon an
other visit to their state, adding:
| For he has done more travelling in thu
south than ALI the other presidents sine,
the civil war. The people Of the south arr
willing even anxious for this recognition
= . The truth of the matter is that thu
president has made very many persona
friends in the south After the cor
dial way In which he has been treated il
the south, we should dislike to see south
ern representatives examining his travel
ing expenses with a microscope and draw
ing line between the travel which is al
ready done and that which he may here
after do.

When the child or an Omaha mil
lionaire was kidnapped a few years
ago the authorities offered all kinds of
rewards for the apprehension and con-
viction of the culprit. When a dyna-
mite outrage is attempted, which, If
successful, would probably have blown
dozens of innocent men, women and
children to atoms, why do the goody-
goodies sit quiet? Is it because the
suspect to whom all the circumstantial
evidence points was in the employ OF
our professional uplift reformers?

creasing the volume OF the output to enor-
nous proportions, If they had not early
recognized the necessity OF advertising.
Tho st. Louis shoemen do and have
done moro advertising than those Of anyl
other section producing shoes. They use
double pages, pages, half pages and guar
ter pages in daily newspapers, trade jourv

put out larger and better catalogues and

LEG WEAKNESS IN CHICKENS
Behind Disease There 10 Usually to
Be Found Story Of Overlooking
of Fat Foods.

Behind leg weakness there is usual
ly to be found the history Of over
feeding of fat-producing foods. Cases
are sometimes seen in focks where a
large quantity of condiments or egg
food is given. At the first appearance
of the trouble reduce the quantity of
the fat-producing foods.
Take away corn, corn meal and con-
diments. Let them have very little
meat. Put the weak birds in a place
by themselves. If the fowls are crowd
ed increase the space or get rid Of
some of the birds. Feed steamed cut
clover as noon meal, whether it be
summer or winter.
II you have peas or beans boil and
add some to the morning mash. Be
sure the drinking water is pure and
give the houses extra care to see they
are in perfectly sanitary condition.
Rub the chickens legs with tine
ture of arnica and add one-half tea
spoonful Of tincture of nux vomica to
each quart of the drinking water.
Be careful not to confound leg
weakness with rheumatism. In the
latter disease there is swelling Of
the joints.

GIVE CHARCOAL TO POULTRY
One Of the Best Stomach correetIves

Necessity for Chickens.

Charcoal is one of the best stom-

man or beast and Is a necessity for
healthful chicken raising. When soft
feed in the way Of mashes are fed to
the fowls. charcoal is very essential,
for 1t corrects any tendency Of the
food to sour and greatly assists the
process of digestion It has been prov
en- that all poultry will grow and fat
ten faster and the meat will be more
delicious in flavor when charcoal is
fed to them regularly; in fact, In all
the large fattening plants charcoal is
regularly fed to all the fowls In the
fattening coops. Charcoal can be pur-
chased at any poultry supply house,
but can easily be manufactured at
home. II you burn wood In your
stove, there will be plenty of charcoal
in the ashes to feed a large flock of
fowls, If you don't burn wood, take
some corn cobs and put in the oven
Till they are thoroughly charred. Corn
and cobs may also be partly charred
at times and fed to the hens with
profit. 49,
