DEATH BEFORE 100

Death before 100 years OF age has
been reached is nothing more or less
than slow suicide. A man (or womanj

he looks as though he would easily at

clares is the normal one. He said:
Il want the people of the world to

devoted to healing the sick, people of
America. There isn't building in this
city big enough to house the people In
this State alone who have found health
through my methods. Before l get
through there won't be a building big
enough to house my cured patients In
this city alone.
Il want, most Of all, to talk to the sick
peopie-the invalids, the discouraged
ones, the victims of nerve-wearing, body
racling diseases and ailments-for these
are the ones TO whom the message of

women who have become chronic in

want to talk to the men who are all run

PLYMOUTH ROCKS ARE BEST

Unexcelled for Size and Flesh
They Are Quick Growers.

The best general utility birds, at
tanning when mature a large size and
carrying flesh Of medium quality. are
the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and
orplngtons. They are, however, too
coarse in flesh and bone for the best
markets and are also lacking in
breast development, this latter de-
fect being particularly noticeable in
the young birds. They are, therefore,
not in demand for the high-class

Provide Fresh Air.

Birds are so constituted by nature
that they require an abundance Of
fresh air for health and vigor. They
never do well with limited supply
of air For this reason all coops and
boxes in which poultry Of any kind
is kept in the summer should be as
open as possible. Let the roof be
tight to protect from rain, but let at
least one side be omen for the admis-
sion of fresh air at all times. Tho
open side may be protected by wire
cloth or other material that will let
in air, but keep out rats, etc.

WEATHER AND CROPS
The Yield of Cotton i'm Excess of
Fifteen Million Bales.

! New Orleans Picayune December
rs: The past week has been Pc
riod of generally bad weather
throughout The cotton belt. Owing
to the fact that the crop has been
made the condition Of the weather
has exerlcd little influence on the
size Of the crop, but that it has add
ed to the percentage of weather
stained and low grade cotton can
not be disputed. That the crop is a
bumper one is now generally adj
mtted. If the general average of the
grade was high, the size of the crop
would not be Of as much import
anCc as ii is now that it is known
that there is large percentage of
low grade cotton to be disposed Of.
1t is the weight Of cotton rather
than the quality that depresses
prices, and the premiums that the
high grades will bring will be more
than offset by the added discount on
low grades.
Although il is now practically
certain that the world is confronted
with a crop in excess Of 100000
bales Of cotton. it is also known that
splnners are purchasing freely, not
merely for their present wants, hut
also to accumulate resrve of
cheap cotton, an advantage which
has not been theirs for some years
past. How much Of surplus Of the
present crop will have to be carried
over into the next season will de-
pend upon the size Of the surplus
that spinners may be able to carry.
Should the acres planted for the
next crop be decreased and the |
weather conditions favorable the |
unmarketed surplus. instead of be-
ing a drawback TO the market, will
be an advantage. as il will help to |
offset any deficit that may exist in
next seasons production.
