They Used TO Eat Crows,

Our forefathers de@pised some dishes
which we regard as deljcacies- In the
thirteenth century, for instance, al
though cartridges abounded in Eng
land, they were eaten only by peas
ants and were never seen in the
honses of the mobiles. Hares, too, were
despised by the upper classes, and
even among the poor a strong preju-
dice existed against them. On the
other hand, gourmets in the middle
ages ate herons, cranes, crows. storks,
cormorants, bitterns and other birdie
which would revolt the least dainty
feeder of today.-LondOn Chronicle.

Doctors Use This for Eczema

DIR. Evans. Ex-Commissionero of Health,
says: There is almost no relation be-
tween skin diseases and the blood The
skin must be cured through the skin.
The germs must be washed out, and so
salves have long ago been found worth
less. The most advanced physicians of
this country are now agreed on this, and
are prescribing a wash OF wintergreen,
thymol and other ingredients for eczema
and all other skin di9eases. This COM
pound is known as Odd. Prescription

WON IN THE NINTH
BY THE FARMERS
of A. & M. and Daniels
of T. c. U. Fought Out
Pitchers Duel.

Texas Christian University and
A. & NJ College went into the ninth
inning l and l yesterday afternoon,
and when the Christian failed to score
and the Farmers sent the first man up
over the plate before man was out
victory was theirs.
1t was good game Daniels and
Higginbotham each pitched good ball
and the men behind them were active
and on their toes. Well matched, the
two teams put up fine article of sport
and applause was generous for both
the home club and the visitors all
through the playing.
The Farmers made the first score
in the second In the fourth the Wis
itors were about to tally one with
clever base running, but Bruton broke
it up by fast fielding. In the eighth
the hitting pitcher for the Christians,
Daniels, lined out a good one, which
brought in a run. But the ninth was
short-lived. The first three men to
the bat for the visitors went out, and
the first man for the Farmers scored
on hit by the second man to bat,
and the game was over.
The remarkable thing about the
game was that all the putouts credited
to Farmer players were to but two
men, the catcher and first baseman,
except when in the last inning the
shortstop caught high fly.
These teams are playing a second
game at Kyle Field this afternoon.

FOR COUNTY SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT

The Eagle is authorizedNto an.
nounce Prof T. w. Parker as a candi-
date for reelection to the office of
county school superintendent, subject
to the action of the democratic pri
mary.
Prof. Parker is serving his second
term as county superintendent, and
his duties, which require him to spend
more than half his time visiting the
various schools, has of course brought
him in close touch with the people,
and he is therefore well known
throughout the county.
Prof. Parker has made an excellent
official. He has been faithful and I'M
firing in the discharge of every duty
connected with his office. The results
of his efforts are apparent on every
hand. There is absolutely no com.
parison between the rural schools OF
the county now and when he went
into office. He has worked constantly
to improve the teaching force-to Sc
cure high grade teachers and build up
the schools of the county, AS re-
suit all have been imbued with his
enthusiasm on This subject, the teach.
ers have gotten the spirit, have stud
led modern methods and as a result
there is not a better rural teaching
force in Texas than there is in Brazos
county.
Better teachers is not the only result,
but the schoolhouses of the county
have been improved more than hun.
dred per cent. Many districts have
erected new buildings, and all have
made improvements, added new and
modern furniture, etc.
Better than all that, Prof. Parker
has instilled into the farmers of the
county that their children come first ;
that their education, their training,
their environments, their opportuni.
ties are far more important than their
farms, their mules, their Jersey cattle
and other chattels: He has created a
new era and Brazos county has awak-
ened frop/its long sleep on the sub
ject Of education.
The Eagle takes pleasure in placing
his name before the voters OF the
county.
