TO KEEP LICE FROM POULTRY
One Of Most Difficult Problems That
confronts Chicken Fancier-
Proper Procedure.
by r. C. wEArHERsroNE.)

One Of the most dincult problems
which the poultry keeper has to meet
Ss that Of keeping his poultry houses
and stock reasonably free from lice,
mites and other external parasites.
In keeping a poultry plant free
from lice there are two points OF
attack: One. the birds themselves;
the other, the houses, nest boxes,
rOOsting boards, etc.
In using any kind of lice powder on
the birds themselves, It should always
be remembered that a single appli-
cation OF powder is not sufficient.
When there are lice present on a bird
there are always unmatched eggs OF
Ace (''nitsO present, too. The proper
procedure is to follow up first appll-
cation Of powder with a second at an
interval OF four days to a week. If
the birds are badly infested at the
beginning it may be necessary to make
BtiH a third application. To clean the
cracks and crevicss OF the woodwork

Removing Stains.

Before sending linens 10 the laun-
dry they should be we'll examined to
see if they are stained Table linens
especially SHOULD be carefully looked
after, and when stained should be
well washed ami left to stand in very
hot water TO which a tablespoonful OF
borax or a teaspoonful OF salts Of
lemon has been added. II the stains
appear stubborn, this may have TO be
repeated several times. Rinse in cold
water and hang out to bleach. Never
plunge clothes in hot water with soda,
as this will sci the stain. Fruit stains
may usually be removed by pouring
boiling water on them

WORDS OF WISDOM.

III temper is the vice Of the yirtu
Gus.
1t is better not to live than not to
love.
91eekness and lowliness cure unrest
by making it impossible.
Friendship is the nearest thing we
know to what religion is.
Touchiness is self-love inhamed; it
is conceit with a hair trigger
The work Of religion is not to re-
move the burden but to adjust it.
Religion is not a strange or added
thing but the inspiration of the secu-
lar life
1t is the law Of influence that we
become like those whom we habitu-
ally admire.
Wounded vanity and unsatisfed self.
ishness; these are the old, vulgar
causes of mans unrest
In rest there are always two ele-
ments-tranuuillity and energy; other.
wise it is mere stagnation.
The people who influence you are
the people who believe in you. Guile
lessness is the secret of personal in
huence.
There is no other reason why we
should live either tomorrow or after
death except because we love and are
beloved
A man does not have the virtues Of /
Christ because he knows where to
read about them; as well Ey to feed |
upon a cook book.
Life is the finest Of the fine arts. /
Many people never learn how to i've;
they grow up at random, carrying in |
to mature life the merely animal meth
ods and motives they had as little /
children,

CONFIDENCE VITAL
FACTOR IN SUCCESS
BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN.

My old friend Victor H. Hanson,
publisher OF the Birmingham News.
was recently banqueted by over 100
representatives of the big business in
terests in his home city because Of
the work that he and his paper have
done and are doing for the community.
Mr.. Hanson made a heart-tO-heart,
wholesome speech on this occasion,
treating OF newspaper making gener-
ally-the duties and responsibilities
Of the editor and publisher, and then
had this to say about advertising:
Advertising, in a good newspaper is
profitable advertising. If you have
something to sell you can go to job
printer and have lot of bills struck
off and distribute them around town.
That is advertising in the crude state.
Put the same matter in any kind Of
newspaper and that is advertising in
more advanced and effective form. In
sert the same copy in a newspaper
that goes into the home. with a hold
upon the affections of the family cir
Gle, and that is ADVERTISING IN
THE HIGHEST STATE.
As time goes on and the confidence
and esteem Of the reader attach them
selves 10 the paper THE HABIT OF
READING THE ADVERTISEMENTS
in that paper becomes fixed and an
advertising medium is established.
The subtle forces that enter into
the establishment OF a paper as a pa
sv, f1L Il n,4
ly well recognized in the newspaper
business. 1t is not necessary every
time you stand up for the right in
your newspaper to pollute your action
with the thought that you are going to
get pai% for it in the long run. 1t is
enous$ ITO have a serene conviction
that F YOU RUN YOUR PAPER
RIGHT AND GIVE THE PUBLIC A
SQUIRE DEAL the counting-room
VIII take care OF itself.
And he said this other thing about
newspapers:
THE CONFIDENCE OF THE
READER is A VITAL FACTOR IN
NEWSPAPER SUCCESS. l regard
the intelligent and faithful perform
huCe OF lne primary junction OF pup
fishing the news as 80 per cent OF the
whole profession or science Of news
paper publishing Accuracy and a
sense OF proportion and responsibility
belong to this item ! think that one
OF the greatest injuries suffered by
modern journalism comes to it
through lack OF a full sense of the re-
sDonsibility that there is upon the
newspaper and the newspaper man.
Mr.. Hanson is determined that his
shall stand for news that
IS reliable and the printing Of adver.
tisemenJs that can be believed in.
From reports that come to me
about the Birmingham News. it is
forging to the front rapidly because
Of the practice Of its ideals The aver
age newspaper publisher is giving
more serious thought than he ever
did to the responsibility placed upon
him, so far as the publication of a
reliable newspaper is concerned.

A splendid lice powder may be made

a the following way: Take three
parts Of gasoline and one part OF crude
0arboIic acid mix these together and
add gradually with stirring, enough
plaster Of Paris to take up all tho
moisture. The liquid and the dry
plaster should be thoroughly mixed
and stirred so that the liquid will be
uniformly distributed through the
mass Of plaster. When enough plaster
aRs been added the resulting mixture
should be a dry, pinkish brown pow
der having a fairly strong carbolio
Ddor and a rather less pronounced gas

Do not use more plaster in mixing
than Is necessary to blot up the liquid.
This powder is to be worked into the
feathers of the birds affected with YER

the active stocks and touched It's high

special news TO materially assist Its fur

the details Of the financing plan Of J.

The reports Of better business condi-
lions throughout the country had an In
direct influence and kept the spirit OF
pessimism from casting shadow Of ap-
prehension over the general buying Of

cultural districts was also received with
interest. and If any effect was in evil
