A fairly good hen, eating 100

that no other stock can get, and
which cannot be otherwise saved
from less, will turn it into eggs
equal to three times her own
weight. The feed, if it could
have a market value, would be
worth about 81. so, viii the
eggs sell readily at SO to SIS. The
hen requires the least care and
the smallest equipment for hous-
es and other means of conversion
of feed into money. There is
less risk of loss in her possession
while she furnishes meat at all
times of the year-in the hottest
summer as we'll as the coolest
winter.

Why Some Persons Cling to Thing,
That Are Rubbish.

The attic instinct hangs on sur
prisingly, and an observing eye car
tell how many years a person ha.
lived in the city by merely glancine
under her bed. IF there are three
hat boxes one will contain letters
one scraps of ribbons and laces-it
It's q mar it's newspaper clipping.
and one anything from a broker
lock to old road maps. If, besides
these, there are bundles of maya
zines and piles of newspapers, not
to mention a bicycle seat and g
green umbrella that one might use
In private theatricals-if all these
things have been placed under the
bed against the protests of the fam
ily, If they are patiently moyed
every cleaning day and chung I
through a moving, then their owr
ers have the attic instinct to such a
extent that there is not the slight
est hope of their ever being cured
They Will think from an attic point
Of view for the rest of their lives,
and their family might as well be-
come resigned.
When people are willing to make
themselves ~disagreeable over a BIT
OF string and absolutely obiectiona-
bic on the subject Of stray pieces OF
brown paper they should not be ac-
cused of having bad dispositions.
nor should they be suspected of do
Ing it to annoy one. They are
merely suffering from the attic in
stinct and cannot help themselves.
Their characters we're formed and
have now hardened for a scheme of
life where certain things we're al
ways kept in the cellar, others in
the wood shed, others in the pantry
and the cupboard on the first floor,
still others in the closets on the
next floor, and everything and any
thing that overfowed from any Of
these places was just taken up to
the attic. And now these poor dear
souls live with a cellar, three stories
and an attic still lodged in their
minds, and, though they will in
time disappear, Ike all unnecessary
members-seventh toe, tails, an ap-
pendix-in the meantime they are
trouble with them, they are
suffering and fighting for them, and
it takes a serious operation to re-
move SO much as one scrap book il
the owner thinks ne may like TO
read it over in his old age.-Har-

Did you ever think what your
ad in the newspaper is doing for
you? When you close your store
in the evening and go home to
your family and fireside, not
thinking about your business at
all, then it is that the paper is

homes--the homes from which
your ad doing its work silently,
but surely, and if you have taken
the pains to make it attractive
its work will be all the more at

ONIONS.

About the only luncheon in
their own countries of the Ger
man, Italian or the Spanish lab
orer today is black bread with an
onion, and in many parts of Italy
it is almost the only vegetable in
nmon use, being eaten as we
apples.
ar New England ancestors
ought a great deal of onions,
I'd no Thanksgiving dinner or
other holiday feast was complete
without a dish of them boiled.
While this is. perhaps. the sup
RENE way of cooking this Succu-
lent vegetable. like all other
simple culiSary fea, it must be
done perfectly.
Although the onion is the most
maligned or vegetables, even be-
ing associated with vulgarity, it
is nevertheless a valuable food,
and is held in high favor by the
culinary artist.
If the food we eat furnishes
the chemical elements necessary
to insure a sound body, the onion
must rank first among vegetables
,or its health-giving constituent
including nitrogen, potash, phos-
phoric acid. phosphate of lime,
sulphur, albumin, sugar mucilage
and certain salts.
Onions r almost the best
nervine known. No medicine, it
is claimed, is so useful in cases
of nervous prostration, and
there is nothing else that will re
lieve so quickly and tone up a
WORKOUT system. Onions are
helpful in all cases Of coughs,
colds and influenza, and if eaten
regularly are very good for the
complexion.
AS a laxative, as a poultice or
as a sleep producer, the onion
works like a charm. A drop of
the juice will cure earache, and
persistent application is said to
cure deafness. Onion juice, too,
is a w~ell-known hair restorer. In
olden times a famous ointment,
called Devils Mustard, was sup.
posed to cure cancer, to remove
tumors, etc. 1t was compounded
of garlic, which is of the onion
and olive oil
Emperor Nero thought that
eating leeks improved the human
voice. and. as he was ambitious
of being a fine singer, he had a
leek diet on several days each
month. Pliny recommended gar
lie as a remedy for many of the
mental ailments of the country
people. Bacon gracely tells of a
man who lived for several days
on the smell of onions &d garlic
1t is. a popular belief
that a traveller becomes acclimat- /
ed quickly by eating onions in
every country visited: and the
onion eater is supposed to be !
practically immune from conta- +,
giOus diseases. j

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT
Emile Workman Shot and Killed BY
His Son James When on a Hunt.

The death of Emile Workman
(which resulted from an accident or
New Years day, is shocking to his
son James and his mother and sis
| ters and other relatives. In his
tragic death his friends are regret
full and sympathize earnestly with
the bereaved.
The death of Emile Workman was
accidental. He and his son James.
Jagged 25 years, were hunting on the
McVeigh plantation between Cash
Point and Pickett on the T. S. & n.
railroad. He was following a covey
of birds when his gun was accident
ally discharged. The load of shot
struck his father in the chest. On
being shot Mr.. Workman exclaimed:
Jim you have shot me in the
stomach" and he fell and died in
few minutes. A negro farm hand
nearby telephOned to Leonard Wort
man, brother of the deceased, who
fastened to the scene and returned
TO the city with the body and his
nephew, whose grief is overwhelm-
ing and indescribable and inexpres-
sible.
II was sad ending of happy
New Year day which had been begun
by the deceased and his family with
great anticipations of JOY and hap
pinesS.
The deceased was aged so years.
lie was timer by trade and had
filled many contracts on buildings
in this city. He was always active
in his duties as a citizen and was
devoted to his family.
The deceased is survived by Two
sons, Emile and James; two BROTH

4 MIIRDEROUS ASSAULT
James McClurg Waylaid and Robbed
Near Greenwood.

On New Year night when on hi;
| way home near Greenwood. James
McClurg was assaulted and beaten
almost into inscnsibility and was
robbed OF about 800. He has hac
charge for years as foreman of The
Fifth Ward road outfit and had
been paid in settlement of his ac-
count due him by the Police Jury.
With this amount he intended to
pay his obligations. He was on his
way home when waylaid and given
no opportunity for resistance or de-
fense.
James McClurg is a farmer and
has family. He is a good citizen
and has been efficient in the dis
charge of his duties. The assault
was premeditated in the belief that
he had money in his possession
which he had received from th"
Police Jury. II would seem that The
assault and robbery was by some
one who knew Mr.. McClurg well and
is familiar with his movements.
There is a clue which may he devel-
opede

there was an increase of over 10 per
cent in the marriages in Chicago
during 1912, breaking all marriae,

The PoIl Tax in New Orleans.

As reported IN the states, the poll
tax issued in New Orleans for the
year 1912 aggregate 4t,1t2 receipts.
In 1911 the receipts issued were
$4,000, being a decrease of 8,488 poll
tax receipts. Who were neglectful
Of their duty? 1t ma ybe declared
with some degree of certainty that
the greatest numbers of delinquents
are Of the Gloss generally denomi-
mated as the best citizens. And with
qeual certainty the conclusion may
be reached that the Regulars and
their allies have paid their poll tax
to a man. 1t is in this observance of
the duty Of the good citizen that the
Regulars preserve their strength and
dominate the politics of New Or
leans. -

VIII Go Ulp in Smoke.

An Advent preacher in the capital
town declares that this jolly and
frolicsome world of ours will GER
tainly go up in smoke, fire, hail
stones, blood with all the other del
icacies thrown in, in the year of
our Lord i9f3.-Ruston Leader.
Better get ready for the smoke,
but how does this preacher know?
II is said there was a joke played
on this preacher. Some of the boys
sneaked up and fired the stack.
When the old fellow found himself
surrounded by fire and smoke and
he was not doing the Elijah stunt,
ho yelled: Tho lat day. and I'm ii
he'll tast - expected. Z
