DECATUR.

1
the position regularly occupied
by Mr.. Lawrence. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Jackson only
recently united with a very popu-
lar religious organization here,
and there has been a great deal of
speculation among his men friends
as to the immediate cause. Some
assert right out loud that Mr..
jackson got his orders" to do so,
while others maintain that it was
purely voluntary. "Lunie' says
that it is none of the public's bust
ness, and the fact remains that he
has made an excellent start, for
whatever cause it was done.
Mr.. Jefferson jackson s illness
was the cause of great deal of
anxiety among his many friends
here. But we hope that there is
little or no cause for immediate
alarm. Mr.. jackson is very popu-
lar among the old settlers and it is
to be hoped that he will soon be
on a road to rapid recovery.

Spring Overcoats for men who incline to conservatism
in dress are fashioned of black, Oxford and the new

THE MoULTING SEASON.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social

Dear Ready: 1 am glad you have a
hobby. How 1 envy you that old jew
elry, I know it must be beautiful.
have seen brooches made of the OLD
earrings with the little pendants. They
were beautiful.
I noticed the hens are moulting.
Moulting is not disease; it is nat
uraI and should occur annually with
all the feathered family. Birds should
be helped through the moult, as it is a
very trying time; and everything pos
sible should be done to lessen the dis
comfort.
Different people have different ideas
how this should be done. Some say
give them all they will eat; others
feed nothing for a week or ten days.
That forces the feathers to drop quick
Iy Still others take the food away
for three days, and then feed lightly
for week or ten days. Remove all
males from the flock as soon as moult-
ing begins.
/ feed about as usual, so to keep up
the laying, and for extras put about
two handfuls of linseed meal to a wa
ter pail of dry mash. Also plenty Of
beefscrap, all the green food they viii
eat milk, and when the Sunfiowers are
ready l give the seeds, which are even
better than linseed meal to make the
pIumage glossy Three times a week
in bright dry weather put a table
spoonful of flowers of sulphur in the
dry mash for every fifty fowls. Keep
the fowls free from lice, and provide
them with clean, sanitary and dry
quarters a. their vitality is low dur

REMEDIES FOR POISONS.

Editor Social Corner: 1t is a good
plan for everyone who makes frequent
or even occasional visits to the fields
and woods to keep on hand various
remedies for poisoning by ivy, alder
or oak. As remedy that will relieve
one may have no effect on another. it
is we'll to know of number of things
that will help. And let no one con-
slider himself immune because he has
so far escaped poisoning, for his turn
is liable to come, as mine did a short
time ago.
For myself. I used hot salt water to
battle in. with applications of sweet
spirits of nitre afterwards. The nitre
may be diluted one-haf. I used it full
strength.
Some people use a solution of salt in
vinegar and receive instant relief
Baking soda, two teaspoonfuls in
cup. is good. Peroxide of hydrogen,
used full strength, sugar of lead in
alcohol tincture of grindelia diluted
one-third, and olive oil are all recon-
mended.
Here is a cure for poison ivy given
a good many years ago by an old doe
tor in this town: Steep sassafras root
take part of the tea to wash in, the
rest save to take internally. Battle
every hour, taking a tablespoonful of
the tea each time before bathing. This
gave immediate relief.
hope these remedies may be help
to someone.
