I've said No. now, for the last time.
Please don't bother me any more

Philip Jordan accepted her refusal
without comment. 1t was the seventh

"All right, my dear; but lunch with

Il can't" she replied in terse man

We were at school together, and I've

We'll, will you dine with me? After

Because he loved me-and fell in

So Helen permitted herself to be led

commonplace person. but devoted to
his wife and little daughter
They were such happy trio, so low

THEIR SHORT COURSES MADE THEM MONEY
BY President Andre M.

Every state maintains an institu-
ton TO discover and disseminate facts
of utility to farmers, 1t was for this
reason that the State College of Agri-
culture was organized and is support
ed as a child of the state. In order
that this institution may do it's full
duty by the farmers Of the state, it
has from year to year organized short
practical courses the first ten days of
the month of January. They offer
him an opportunity to secure at a
minimum of cost the necessary facts
on which to project his farm opera.

CATARRH IN CHICKENS.
l.. L. Jones, Professor Poultry
Husbandry.

L. L. JONES' professor poultry
Husbandry.
Question-EIow would you prevent
or cure catarrh in chickens?
A chicken affected with a cold, or
catarrh, should receive immediate at
tention, for while this disease in itself
is not serious, it is liable to develop
into roup if neglected. Usually a
cold is caused by exposure during a
cold spell of weather, by draughts
of air over the birds while they are
on the roosts, by damp atmosphere
and wet weather, or by improper
housing conditions.
In many cases the bird will get
well without doctoring if the condi-
tons which caused the cold in the
first place are removed A little red
pepper given in the mash often helps
them along If the trouble is more
serious the nostrils, eyes and mouth
should be washed out with a per
cent. solution of Boracic acid. Or if
roup is suspected dip the head of the
fowl in a ! per cent solution of po-
tassium permanganate, holding 1t
there 20 or 30 seconds. Repeat this
treatment once or twice a day until
fowl is cured. A little work when
the trouble is first noticed may pre-
vent a lot of work later when the dis
ease has a good start.

Psychological association, in an ad-

American socviety for the study of al
cohol and other narcotics He discuss
ed the question, why do men drink
alcoholic spirits" and declared it was
the great struggle to secure relief
and to attain some sort of psychic
consciousness that makes alcoholic
beverages a popular drink"
DR.. John d. Quackenbos, of New
York, attributed drinking to the ire
mendous impulse to overcome tension
and strain.
The alcoholic evil is natural one,
in the opinion of DR.. C. H. Hughes of
st. Louis, who declared that there was
no one thing that would, with greater
certainly, destroy the vitality and eff
cheney of the human race than the ex-
cessive indulgence in alcoholic spirits.
DR.. c. J. Douglas, of Boston, Mass,
declared that the widespread prevail

BEEF GROWING ADVANTAGE IN
GEORGIA..
M. P. Jarnagin, Professor Animal
Husbandry.

Question-Can cattle be grown for
beef in Georgia as cheaply as in the
West?
The West can furnish grain cheap
er, but Georgia can produce more sill
age to the acre, get longer grazing
and more and better food from Der
muda grass than is obtained from
western grasses. The demonstrated
possibilities of corn-groWing in Geor.
gia show that even the West should
have nothing over it in that respect,
Georgia can now grow beef cattle as
cheaply as the grain states, but with
it's full possibilities developed it
should have an advantage.
AS an indication of how values can
be increased in growing cattle for
beef, the State College of Agriculture
bought COWS in South Georgia at SIT
per head and sold calves from these
cows at the average age of % months
on the Athens market for S44.99 each.
