BEE KEEPING IS DECREASING
United otHtos Department. Of Aor,out
tur0 Attr'bu.ss Cause 70 Brood
Diseases Of Insects.

The census of 1910 shows q DE-
crease OF almost 100000 colonies of
bees on the farms OF the United
States There is also n considerable
decrease In the number Of farms re-
porting bees. Since bee keeping Is
one of the important and profitable
minor branches OF agriculture, this
decrease among farmer bee keepers
is unfortunate
Bee keeping is fast becoming the
business of the specialist, and the
number Of men who devote their en-
tire attention to the business Is rap
Idly increasing. However, there is no
reason why the average farmer can
not keep a few colonies of bees to
supply honey for home consumption
with perhaps some surplus for sale In
good years.
The United States department of
agriculture attributes most of the re-
ported decrease to the brood diseases
of bees which are now found widely
distributed in the United States.
Where disease exists the bee keepers
often lose colonies and attribute their
loss to some other cause. 1t Is quite
possible to keep bees with profit with
disease prevalent In the neighborhood
provided the bee keeper knows how
to treat the disease.

Spain has also illustrated the peril
OF the laws delays and the danger Of
error In the trial courts. The 6u-
preme Court at Madrid has reviewed
the findings Of the Council OF War at
Barcelona which condemned Fran
cisco Ferrer to death 1t finds after
the lapse OF some years that there is
no evidence that Ferrer was a partici-
pant in the rioting: that any OF the
rioters acted under orders from him.
and that In all the other cases Of in
dividual rioters who were tried there
was no testimony indicating Ferrer's
completely In the disorders This is
practically a judicial finding that Fer
rer was executed for an inspired Of
tense. really because he was deemed
by the military tribunal and the royal
court to teach revolutionary princi-
pies. Under these circumstances the
best 1t can do is to order the restora-
ton of Ferrer's property conflscated
after his condemnation to his heirs.
AS to Ferrer himself. he is innocent
but dead.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use Of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health Of ev.
cry woman is regularity Of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes. bad breath. frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
Is In most every case due to consti-
patton or indigestion, or both There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
Its effect, strengthening the muscles
OF stomach and bowels so that after
short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
lions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
1t, write for sample to Dr. w. B.
Caldwell, 201 Washington ST., Month
cello, ILL.,; he will gladly send trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.

BEET SUGAR IN ENGLAND.

1t II now more than = century since
Napoleon urged and encouraged the
cultivation of the sugar beet IN
France. with results to that country
which have long since demonstrated
his foresight and sagacity. After a
hundred years and more a sugar beet
factory Is to be established In Eng
land. a belated tribute to the once
the Manchester Union. 1t 10 an
nounced from London that the Anglo
Netherland Sugar Corporation. which
recently sold through the British For
eign Colonial Corporation 100000 8
per cent first mortgage proflt-sharing
debentures. will use part OF the proc
eeds to establish a sugar beet factory
In England in the eastern counties.
The factory In England will be run
under the management of Dutch sugar
experts. 1t is pointed out that in 1910
over 1.725.000 tons OF sugar. valued
at 424,554. 000-about two-thirds OF
which Is beet sugar-were imported
into the United Kingdom, indicating
the possibilities OF the beet sugar In
dustry In England, II It shall be found
that the beets can be grown success
fully there, and II the English farmers
will take an interest In helping for
ward the enterprise.

EAST TENN. TEACHERS
MEET AT STATE NORMAL

The East Tennessee Educational AS.
ISOLATION will hold its next annual
meeting at the state normal school in
this city, on March 81, % and %. The
opening session will be held Thursday
evening, March 81, at 7.3O, and the last
session Saturday morning, March %,
at 1890. There will be four general
sessions, or popular meetings, at which
addresses will be delivered by speakers
of national reputation. There will be
also three departmental sessions for
each of the departments of elementary
education, higher education and admin
istration. AT these departmental SEES.
sions prominent educators and officials
of East Tennessee will lead the general
discussions of subjects of vital impor-
lance to all who are interested in the
educational work of Tennessee.
This is going to be by far the largest
and best educational gathering held in
East Tennessee. The fact that the new
state normal school is located in john
son City is most attractive drawing
card, and already many county super
intendents have indicated that large
number of their teachers are expecting
to attend the meeting. Officers of the
association are sparing no labor or ex-
pense to make the program the strong
est and most practical that the associa-
ton has ever had.
