OF SLEEP FOR CHILDREN.

child had her full allowance of sleep
she could swim twice to the float and

she could only reach the float and back

see just what had been doing to my
child by being careless about the bed
hour. If we had company she would
always sit up little later; if we got
interested in playing some games she
sat up little later; if she was inter
ested in her reading let her sit up
little later; if got lazy and forgot to
notice the time she sat up little later;
and so on for every excuse. After that
swimming revelation / reasoned that
each time let her lose any of her reg

COUGH CAUSES ARE MANY.

Coughs are indicators of condition
existing at some point of the body.
They are the forerunners of trouble
and, if needed, often serve to flag the
disease train before it gets going at a
dangerous speed. There are many diff
ferent causes for cough.
A cough often accompanies the drop
ping of the uvala, which, in turn, in
dicates debilitated general state of
health.
A cough may come from the breath
ing of Justified or impure air.
A cough is often the index to dis
ordered stomach.
A cough may indicate an affected
lung or a wax-flled ear.
A cough may come from, smoking or
be the natural and harmless accompan-
iment of cold
The majority of coughs are better if
loose" than hard. A hard cough racks
the whole system. A loose" cough re-
lieves the bronchial tubes of mucus
and makes breathing easier.
Regulation of the digestive organs
will usually clear up a stomach cough
which is likely to be very hard and
rough in sound. 1t is frequently called
a "churchyarder," because it sounds so
serious, The old plan of taking some
thing for a cough" and the same thing
for all kinds of a cough has pretty
nearly gone out of fashion. Now peo-
pie sensibly look for the causes of the
cough, differentiate them and supply
the remedy to the cause, according to
needs.
If you have cough take the trouble
to find out what causes it. Then treat
the cause and be rid Of the cough.

SCHOOL FARM LEAGUES OF THE
RURAL NEGRO SCHOOLS IN
CADDo PARISH.

All negro friends of the school
teachers, pupils, and citizens-are call
ed together for organization purposes
Superintendent Byrd explains that the
purpose is to buy, rent, or receive as a
donation so many acres of land to be
planted in corn, cotton, ETC., the land
to be cultivated and the crops harvest
ed by members of the league. The
league is organized by the election of
a manager, treasurer, etc. Each mem
Der of the league agrees to work so
many days, free of charge, on the
school farm. The land is cultivated
and the crops marketed under the di-
rection of the United States farm de-
monstrator in the parish. The pro-
ceeds are used to improve school con-
ditions, by building house, buying
furniture, frightening the term, etc.
There are eight leagues in the parish,
three OF them three years old. Two OF
the leagues have built nice two-room
houses. All of them are running their
school eight months. One league last
year made six bales of cotton which
brought 1870. 1t is wonderful what
can be done when there is leader
with real head on his shoulders to
blaze the day.
