SOMETHING FOR PARENTS AND
TEACHERS.

We wonder whether second and
third grade teachers have ever thought
how much better off they would be il
they stopped teaching for while to
earn a normal diploma. Take the $40
teacher who works nine months and
earns $3.50 year If it costs her S25
to live, her annual expenses are $500,
and she saves only $50 a year or $3.50
in six years, and all of this goes for
summer school expenses. If such a
teacher borrowed 5000 for three-year
normal course, she would then teach
at $50 or $40 year Taking out liv-
ing expenses of $500, she would save
in the remaining three years 1920, pay
the amount she had borrowed, and
come out as well off financially as the
unframed teacher. Besides she would
have a normal diploma which would
bring her monthly salary of $40 to
$50 more than the unframed teacher
and which would exempt her from
going to summer school every year.
To prepare trained teachers, Louisiana
maintains big institution. This is
the State Normal School at Natchi.
toches, 1t represents an investment
of half million dollars, has a campus
OF 300 acres, over twenty buildings,
and all necessary equipment. Inter.
ested parents and teachers should
write for literature concerning the
courses offered at the Normal School.

THE HONOR OF rHE ARMY.

Tyrannical and barbarous treatment
of enlisted men in the United States
army seems conclusively shown in the
series of articles on "The Honor of the
Army" in Harper's Weekly by Charles
Johnson Post. The ft firth paper of the
series in the issue of March ID is de-
voted to deserters. Mr.. Post tells of
one case after another of men who de-
serted under circumstances that made
desertion the very course that any
man, fit for anything, ought to take or
that should, even from a militarist's
point of view, have deprived the act
of all reprehensible features. Yet in
these cases the unfortunate ones on
being caught we're sentenced to prison
terms and to dishonorable discharge
involving loss of citizenship.

AIR VS.. EXERCISE.

Youths Companion:
One great difference between out
door air and indoor air is that the first
circulates freely, and the second is
stagnant. Another difference is that
floods of sunshine constantly cleanse
outdoor air of it's impurities, but most
rooms get very little of that useful
commodity. Many persons who visit
the physician with complaints of poor
digestion and anamia, declare that
they are active all day long, and that
going out for walks is the last thing
they need.
They may be right about the amount
of exercise they get, but people con-
stantly fall sick in spite of plenty of
exercise in the house, and get well
again with little outdoor exercise. A
certain amount of active work about
a house is good for every one, but
there ought to be some daily outdoor
| life as well.
1t does not follow that outdoor life
ought to include violent exercise, or
even any exercise at all. Why should
the householder be told that she can
not keep well unless she dresses up in
walking clothes and takes a long walk
after fatiguing morning of physical
labor in the house? Tired people should
do their resting in the open air. There
are very few days in the year when
person who is warmly wrapped up can
not sit with comfort in sheltered
sunny corner. Every one knows how
babies thrive when they take their nap
outdoors; the principle applies to the
adult also.
1t is a matter of scientific record
that people whose daily occupation
obliges them to sit in the open air.
such as market women, attendants at
fruit stands and newspaper sellers
are robuse people, who do not take
cold easily. Yet it is probable that
few people take less exercise.
Let it be understood that this is not
at all an argument against physical
exercise. That is not emily excellent,
but in most cases necessary. But you
need not forego both air and exercise
because you can not conveniently have
both; open-air life without exercise is
much more healthful than indoor life
with it.

NOW FOR THE ToRRENs SYSTEM
The Progressive Farmer.

Before either State or National Gov
eminent can do anything effective in
the line of rural credits for the land
owners, a better system of registering
land titles must be devised What
shall it profit us if somewhat lower
interest rate is obtained, or if money
for land loans is made more easily
available, If we then find that titles are
too doubtful to be accepted as collat-
eral, or if the prohibitive cost of lex
amining" title every time loan is
wanted, keeps the farmer from using
the rural credit system so laboriously
wrought out for his benefit?
North Carolina now has the Torrens
System, and we are glad to find that
the farmers of the adjoining states of
Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia
are fast resolving that they are en-
titled to as good treatment as the
farmers of the Old North State in this
respect. From these states the agita-
ton will gain force in other sections,
and Mississippi, Alabama and Texas
will soon take hold.

Carrots are excellent for the blood

raw, but should be finely grated or
ground in food chopper. They may
then be eaten as salad with lettuce
and dressing. They are also recon-
mended for nervous patients and
should be very, very thoroughly mas

Lettuce is excellent for insomnia and
for cooling the entire system. 1t should
be eaten green, not white. The green
juice in the lettuce is the medicinal
part. 1t is not natural for lettuce to
be white, although we all find it so
delicious that way.
Celery has remarkable medicinal
qualities. 1t is good for nervousness,
rheumatism, neuralgia and nervous
dyspepsia. The green leaves of celery
are excellent; also the root when boil

celery, none of the cellular part should

should be chewed until all the juices

WHAT THE LOUISIANA
HOSPITAL FOR INSANE
IS DOING At P|NENLLE

A good story of the State Insane
Hospital at Pineyille appears in 1.-THE
Southwest Trail" which is an immi-
grant-getting magazine of the Rock
Island Lines. The article is quoted, in
great part, for it's inspirational and
educational value. 1t reminds one of
work at the East Louisiana Hospital
for the Insane at Jackson.
To take up the Trail:
Farming $50 acres of cut-over pine
land near Alexandria, La, only with
inmates, Supt John N. Thomas of the
Louisiana Hospital for the Insane, has
made the farm earn $4,000 year. DR..
Thomas is resourceful man, who, on
taking charge of the work few years
ago, saw the opportunities in develop
ing the idle cut-over lands. He bought
large tract adjoining the institution
and set to work clearing the hills.
Great progress has been made in a
year and cost of keeping patients has
been lowered at least half. There are
675 inmates and seventy-fve attend
ants 1t is DR.. Thomas aim to make
the institution as nearly self-support-
ing as possible. His work has been an
inspiration to settlers in the cut-over
pine hills around Alexandria. There
are thousands upon thousands of acres
OF such land for sale in the Alexandria
vicinity, the price ranging from SIS
upwards, according to location. There
are indications that more such land
will be opened to settlement next year
and heavy influx of settlers into CEN
trail Louisiana is expected. The pine
lands are we'll drained. Good roads
throughout the Alexandria section are
being constructed. The climate is one
of the mildest and most alluring on
the globe.
Saving Waste Stuffs.
CAS- an illustration of what can be
done with table waste, DIR. Thomas
showed the writer check for $1,716.4O
sent him from New Orleans that day
in payment for 14S hogs, all of which
had cost the institution practically
nothing. Their net weight was 21,710
pounds. The porkers had been pas
tured for about nine months on Ber-
muda grass, which is the southern
blue grass, and had received the slop
from the table and little cowpea hay
which was grown between corn rows.
Three hundred acres of corn on the
Institution farm yielded 100 bushels,
the best making forty bushels an acre.
Barnyard manure and commercial fer
ltilizer were literally used. On much

last year, The peas made five tons of
hay an acre. Some years they made
more
Before DR., Thomas took charge there
was an annual molasses bill of more
than $4,000. Now all the molasses is
made by inmates out of sugar cane
grown on the place. This year the cane
made ESQ tons off ten acres.
Velvet beans this year cut four tons
of hay an acre on land which two years
ago was virgin cut-over land. It was

cast April LIST and narrowed after they
appeared. Dr. Thomas says the velvet
bean promises to be one of the most
prolific hay crops of the hill lands.
This view is shared by Don Legg, farm
manager.
4 Hay Barn of Timbers.
"A hay barn one hundred by eighty
feet and fifty-eight feet high, three
stories with ground floor room for
spring farming implements and wag-
'ons, was erected by inmates of the in.
stituti6n out of timbers which they cut
on the place. Some lumber was bought
at the mill for finishing purposes. The
barn holds 800 tons and will easily be
filled this year. There were 100 tons
of cowpea and velvet bean hay on the
floors early in November. There are
thirty-fe mules and six horses on the
farm and herd of twenty milk cows.
The latter are to be displaced with
pure blooded Holstein or Jerseys next
year.
Since DR.. Thomas took charge of
the work the cost of maintenance of
inmates has been reduced from ST. a
head to about So or $40. Large drain
age bitches have been constructed to
carry off water from pockets and sew
eral splendid roads have been built
reaching out from the institution to
the surrounding country. DR.. Thomas
believes the cut-over lands in the Alex
andria vicinity are capable of the high
est development, based upon his own
experience with them. In a measure
the institution farm has become de-
monstration farm, so comprehensive
has been it's scope. Every variety of
crops is grown. A large garden is
kept growing green things from March
to December. This year Bliss Triumph
potatoes, Minnesota seed, yielded an
average of 156 bushels an acre on ten
acres. On the same land succeeding
crop OF Medican June corn was planted
June 22nd, which yielded fifty bushels
an acre. Off ten acres of cabbage ITO
barrels of sauer kraut for home use
were put up and tons of cabbage were
consumed besides. Root crops, beans
and peas, cauliflower, spinach, toma-
toes, onions and other garden crops
yielded heavily with ordinary cult
Vation. ~
