Intermarriage of
Whites and Blacks

Congressman Byrd, of Alabama,
has introduced a bill in the House
to prevent the intermarriage of
whites and negroes within the Dis
trict of Columbia. the frequency OF
which in recent years has aroused
indignation among the Southern
people.
Mr.. Byrd's bill provides "that in
the District of Columbia it shull be
unlawful for any person of the
Caucasin blood, or their descend
ants, to inter-marry with an Afrl-
can commonly called negro, or the
descendants of an African, or with
a Monaghan, or with the descend
ants of Monaghan; and should
any person as aforesaid violate the
provisions of this act such marriage
shall be null and void and the par
ties so offending shall be prosecuted
for a felony, and if convicted shall
be imprisoned not less than two
years, or fined not less than $500
or both, at the discretion of the
court" 1t also provides "that
any attempt to evade this statute
by marrying out of the District OF
Columbia and returning into it shall
be within it's meaning, and such
marriage shall likewise be null and
void and the offending parties shall
be prosecuted as aforesaid"

Coffee For Sick Lambs

Salladasburg, Pa, May 14.-Wil-
liam Gohl, of Rural Route No. 4,
which runs out of this place, has
made a discovery that should be
widely heralded, as it is said to be
a great benefit to sheep raisers.
He has had many years exper-
fence in the business and has lost
many lambs that ate laurel. He has
tried every known so-called remedy
unsuccessfully, and has lost as
many as six lambs in day from
this cause.
He read somewhere that coffee
was poison to sheep, and he reas-
oned that, if "like cures like" the
next lamb he found i'll from laurel
poisoning would be treated with
coffee. The first sick lamb was
given a half cup of cold. black cof-
fee, and it was only a short time
ill the kid was the livelyiest of the
flock.
Since his discovery, Coil has not
lost a single lamb ftom this cause,
al though some have been nearly
dead when found, and he has
successfully applied the simple
remedy in every case.

She's 100, But Cooks

Cape Charles, Va, May IL Few
women in the country possess the
strikingly remarkable qualities of
Miss Nancy Kelley, the oldest wom-
an on the Eastern Shore of Virgin
ia, who only few days ago, on
the occasion of her one hundredth
birthday, prepared with her own
hands a sumptuous dinner for a
number of her friends and relatives
who came to her home on Hog
Island to spend the day with her.
According to the most authentic
records Miss Kelly was born 100
years ago, Mayd4; on Hog Island
where her parents have since died.
Since the death of her brothers
she has been doing the housekeeping
doing the chores about her little
home, tending" a small crop of
corn each year, in fact, living as
up-to-date as many of her most
prosperous neighbors. To pillow, hoe
corn, clean land, in fact, do any
thing that the average farmer should
do. Miss Kelley's memory is good
her five senses keen.
She has never been seriously i'll
and has nevertaken medicine of any
kind for sickness. She can relate
with precision happenings of her
early childhood. She has never left
Hog Island on any occasion, never
seen a trolley or steam car. She is
doubtless one of the most remark
able persons living today, and in all
probability will live many years
Onger.

Money In Stock Raising

Get the habit of raising stock
You may have to hustle q little
harder to raise fodder to winter it,
but remember that the more stock
you own the more fertile the farm
will be, and every little while there
is some money coming in from a
sale.
Six to ten choice calves raised every
year will make the soberest man
smile, after a while. Do not raise
the kind that hustle themselves and
grow up somehow. There is no mon
ey in such stock. Raise calves that
are a5least one-half pure blood, of
some recognized and useful breed,
and do not let them stop growing.
Then somebody will want them at a
good prlce, Grit will pay you to keep
them in action yourself.
Look out for your daily dividends,
the fertilizer. Don't let any of it
waste. For whatever may be said
about chemical and commercial
fertilizers, after they are paid for,
there is nothing that puts the avail
able plant foodinto the soil in pay
ing quantity equal to barn-yard ma
nure..

The Parcel Post

Whenever the bill for the parcels
post comes up in Congress there is
great cutlery about the country
merchant. A parcels post, it is
said, will ruin the country mer-
chant. The country merchants are
not making the cutlery. 1t is the
express companies. They over
charge the country merchants and
Cypress them to the full extent of
their opportunities and then get
behind the country merchants to
protect their monopoly.
The parcels post would not hurt
the country merchant. On the
contrary, it would enable him to
do an order business for his patrons
and to retail country products in
the cities. A vast amount of food
goes to waste on every farm at
time when the people in cities have
to pay big prices for it. The cost
of transportation and distribution
is too great. A family in London
makes an arrangement with farm
err to send a dozen fresh eggs by
mail every morning or two. Boxes
for this purpose are made, and the
cost of carrying dozen eggs from
any port of England to front door
of a house in London is 2l-2d., or
5 cents. The family can get a
a pound of fresh butter this way
and other articles of food can be
obtained in the city by this quick
and inexpensive method. Both
the consumer and the farmer in
this country would profit enormous
ly by this plan.
In England the postoffice seems
to be conducted for the convenience
of the people. In United States
one of the main objects seems to
be the emolument of the railroads
and the protection of the express

Of Interest To
The Fair Sex

There is a wide difference be-
tween the limits set by women on
incomes necessary for marriages.
Careful women, trained to spend
money intelligently and curb de-
sire have modest notions, while the
ideas of other kinds of women soar
to the heights of absurdity. 1t is
certain that some housewives can
make dollar 60 twice as far as
some others, but it is certain that
only the few women are content
with small beginnings and willing
to do their part toward lettering
the family fortune.
An incompetent woman is bad
bargin for the man who has to earn
his living. She may have the best
intentions in the world, but she is
bound to be wasteful through ignor-
ance. Experience is a dear teacher
which no workingman can afford;
he needs all his money for present
use. and if there is any to spare the
future is to be considered. / believe
that every girl should have domes-
tic training, even though she never
has occasion to use it. We know
nothing Of the future, and even
when there is no need of doing
homework it is wise to know how,
to direct those who are hired for
that purpose.

Catch My Pal"

The London correspondent of the
New York Sun relates the follow
ing interesting incident:
One day last July Presbyterian
clergyman in the city of Armagh
persuaded twelve hard drinkers to
sign the pledge. Before parting with
them he said:
Now, perhaps each of you could
bring a pal to my house tomorrow,
and induce him to sign"
81 think can catch my pal, J"
said one of the men, and that was
the origin of the "Catch My Pal"
movement now sweeping over the
north of Ireland.
Scarcely a town or village in
Ulster is without an enthusiastic
band of members, each of whom
wears an enambled brass button
bearing the words, Protestant
Catch My Pal Union" The pub
lie houses in many of the province
al manufacturing towns have lost
fully so pet cent. of their trade. Of
the 3 900 inhabitants of Cookstown,
County Tyrone, over 700 men join

cember, and the. percentage is
equally great in other towns Chris

The United States government has
found that the. practice of pasteuriz.
Ing milk is being followed BY many
dealers, and that it greatly reduces
the number of complaints they receive
on account of sour milk The treat

al the germs, the product would be
called sterilized milk, and 1t might be
kept In good condition indefinitely.
Higher heat, however. renders milk
somewhat Objectionable to many Gus
toners, by changing it's taste and ap.
pearance, and perhaps slightly reduc.
ing it's nutritive value.
Large dealers have special kinds Of
apparatus for pasteurizing milk on
large scale, but for the purposes OF
this article only the methods that can
be used economically in the home will
be discussed. The pasteurization OF
milk is desirable when the milk con.
tains large number of harmful bac-
terra, and especially when it is thought
to contain infectious or disease-pro.
ducing bacteria, such as those Of ty.
phoid fever, etc. The imp ortance OF
doing the work thoroughly cannot be
overstated. The temperature must
be high enough, and must be retained
long enough to kill disease-producing
germs. Pasteurization in the home
is an easy operation. Mothers should
know how to do it, as the necessity
may arise at any time. 1t is best. of
course, to nave clean, wholesome milk
that does not need to be treated, but
sometimes this is impossible, and the
only milk available for the little ones
is from unknown sources and Is teem-
ing with bacteria. Undoubtedly such
milk has cost many young lives. 1t
