HEAD LOUISE ATTACKS CHICKS
Poulterer Must Look Closely for In.
Jurtous Little Insects In Order to
Get Healthy Birds.
(By A.. G. SMITH, Professor of Poultry
iiusbandry, University Farm st. Paul,

(By a. G. SMITH. Professor Of Poultry
Minn.l
The head Iouse attacks young
chicks generally before they are feath-
cred out, and is first found on the
head with its claws or feeders sunk
into the skin Of the head AS they
become more numerous, they attack
the throat and neck as well. The
remedy is simple, but 1t takes a little
time. Each chick must have It's head
creased with lard, cottonseed oil or
olive oil. You will have to look close
ly to sec these insects. They are very
destructive to chickens and must be
controlled or exterminated If the chiok
Is to be healthy.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes On:
Slaves To Freak Fashions
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

1.-THE girl who does not slavishly
follow the fashions OF today seems
Il like one white sheep in a flock Of
black onesI
Never have fashions IN. clothes been
more extreme than now. Never has
there been greater need for common
sense and judgment in choosing ones
garments. And never have women more
slavishly aped one another in the desire
TO be smart.
There is no more contagious disease
than fashion New styles are intro
women OF the demi-mOnde as q general
rule. The rest OF the feminine world
sees, and first laughs in scOru al the
novelty and then follows a series OF
feelings-"they hrst endure, then pity
and then embrace" And then the wild
contagion OF the style spreads from
woman TO woman
There is a great lacE OF independ-
ence and Of personal influence in dress
ing. Like a true flock OF sheep women
follow the standard set up by a new
fashion And since most styles are
neither modest nor graceful in line, the
flock becomes a freak flock OF black
sheep.
Are No Girls Brave.
Are there no girls who dare be white
sheep in black flock2 Are there no
girls who dare refuse 10 wear unDecou-
ing clothes and TO exert their person
atty on the styles instead OF weakly
allowing the styles TO rule their per
sonalities2
A real poet once gave his attention
70 the panorama OF fashion and put
the proper way TO meet II simply ana
we'll said he: BE not the first by
whom the new is tried, nor yet the last
70 cast the old aside"

Pitts One Love, Country
Great English Statesman Did Have
One Romance, but IT Did Not
Keep Him From BaehelOrhOOd
by Madison c. Peters

VILLAIN PITT had but one
NJ great passionate love OF his
country. From his birth his
parents had but one ambition, for him
to enter parliament. and from his
earliest childhood he was trained for
that purpose. Pitt came naturally by
his great talents. for his family
boosted Of three brilliant statesmen;
his father. the earl OF Chatham. was
one Of the most striking figures OF his
time, and his two maternal uncles,
George Granville and Richard, earl OF
Temple. were also remarkable and
prominent men in public life
William Pitt was the second son OF
the earl and lady Chatham. So deli
cate was he from childhood that he
was never expected TO live to attain
his majority. his physician, DR.. Ad-
diHgton, prescribed port wine and thus
Pitt got the hablL OF drinking great
quantities Of II all his life but II was
very seldom that indications of undue
excess could be detected. in truth two
bottles OF port wine were little more
TO him than two cups Of tea.
From College TO Fame.
Pitt, whom his contemporaries called
a heaven born statesman" went
straightway from college into the
house Of commons and in two years
TO the prime ministership Of Great
Britain relsnlng Tor near-y quarter
OF a century. virtual king, carrying
his measures in spite OF the opposition
OF some of the greatest men England
ever produced.
William Pitt inherited a name from
his father which at the time Of his
birth. May IS, 1853. was the most il
lustriOUs in the civilized world and
the power OF William Pitt. the Young
er, caused Edmund Burke to say: 1T
is not chip Of the old block, it is the
chip itself"
Pitt was sickly. shy. very busy and
cared little for the society Of women;
he was always glad TO meet them So
cially and occasionally INDUCED in a
mild Irritation, but a serious love af-
fair demanded too much time. and Pitt
considered his time too valuable for
such Improbable enjoyment.
Drinks Toast IN Sinner.
OF his affairs of heart there is little
known, he is sid to have drunk a
toast out OF the slipper OF a famous
Devonshire beauty. 1t was rumored
at one time that he was having
marked attention to Hiss Duncan but
whether he failed to get as far as a
proposal OF marriage or whether she
did not wish to marry him. is not
known: at any rate she afterwards
became lady Dalrymple Hamilton pitts
name was not entirely free of scan
dal but there was much less said of
him than Of most Of his conterSnora-
ries. and those who knew him vel de-
clare HIM TO have beer a most moral
man The strictness OF his morals

The well known fact that since the
