POULTRY EXHIBIT AT NEW
ORLEANS.

Never in the history of poultry
in the south has interest in
breeding the high grade, pure
bred feathered stock, been so
great as at the present times.
According to the most careful
estimates there has, within the
past year, been an increase OF at
least 100 per cent in the number
of breeders of thoroughbred
poultry, and the number is
increasing every day.
The Ireason for this increase
in interest, it is evident, is the
splendid exhibitions of poultry
given at various fairs and special
shows in practically all of the
Southern states during the past
year or 80, and at the various
shows to be held in the coming
| fall and winter month fully
double the number of exhibitors
of last year will be on hand this
season.
The Southern states have
never, until lately, been noted
| for the fine qualify of poultry
raised. Old fashioned notions
that "a chicken is chicken
was probably responsible fol
this hut these are fast fading
away before the educational re
suits of the shows, until a
present the better class of pure
bred birds and better idea O.
the value, comparative and real
of good stock, is the rule.
All through the south splen
did shows are in preparation TO-
the coming fall. Atlanta
Memphis, Knoxville, Jackson
Miss, Shreveport, La, New Or
leans, and many other southern
cities will all hold great shows
and in each of these cities
where shows have been held OF
lpreviOus years greatly lncreas
ed entry is expected.

HEALTH THOUGHTS.
Life is short at it's longest.

Llfe Is short at Its longest.
Our first duty is to keep our
selves well.
The aim of all public health
work is the prevention Of dis
ease.
Defective sanitation means a
defective civilization.
A depth from preventable dis
ease is an untimely death-live
right and die a natural death.
In the conservation of health an
ounce of intelligence is worth a
ton of ignorance,

best evidence of sanitary progress

AS you 60 through life take the
sunny side of the street. Shade
and shadow are not good for
health.
Build your reputation for civic
pride in your back yard.
Life is short-far too short tol
many of us-much shorter than II
| need be for all of us. Sane liv
ing for the longer life.
"The conservation OF public
health" should be the twentieth
century battle cry. Let every one
take it up.

The woods were only forty rods
below the house. There was a sharp
rise from the highway, and on the
crest was rocky ridge and cave.
The cave was about the size of q
bedroom at a seashore hotel. Miss
Phyllis had discovered 1t two years
before and furnished 1t with an old
chair and a rug. That cave had a
legend attached to it. as have all re.

Indian princess from the lodge Of her
father, mile away. He was success.

divorce followed after a year or so

Miss Phyllis carried her toothache
down the road and up to the cave with
her. She had to squeeze a little to
get into the cave, but once in and
seated on the old wobbly chair and
her feet on the rug, she gave herself
up to thoughts of that Indian princess.
Did she want to elope? Was she hand.

found her gone? Was the warrior q
jim-dandy sort of fellow, or only So
SO? Did he carry the princess away
on his shoulder, like bag Of meal, or
did she trot along beside him with a
smile on her dusky face?
Then suddenly, slip-a slide-a
crash! A big bowlder resting above
the cave had fallen and blocked it's
mouth. There wasn't room for the
girl to get her head out. After one
effort she realized that she hadn't the
strength to push the bowlder away.
She was q prisoner. She was twenty
rods from the highway. with trees
and bushes intervening.
