SOME CHICK DISEASES
HEAD LICE IN PARTICULAR ARE
SOURCE OF MUCH TROUBLE.
Dust Hen With Insect Powder, Spray
coops With Disinfectant and Rub
Ointment on Chicks Head
and Under Wings.

Lice. head lice In particular, while
not a disease in themselves, are fer
tile source of trouble and disease.
They are generally found where the
chicks are Matched by hens. the little
fellows appearing droopy, pale and
with some diarrhea, due TO weakness.
Dust the hen with a good lice killer,
spray the coops with disinfectsnt and
rub a little lice ointment on the
chicks head, under the wings and
around the vent.
While not so prevalent as some
times supposed, white diarrhea' is
a real menace. and here prevention is
the best remedy. Breed from strong,
healthy parent stock and avoid the
long, scrawny, crow headed hen, for
disease is transmitted through the egg.
Keep the incubator dark, feed good
nourishing food, separate suspected
chicks at once and disinfect thorough
ly. If trouble is expected use white
diarrhea remedy in the drinking water
for the first ten days. 1t will save
many chicks, but will not cure the dis
ease or save badly infected ones.
Bowel trouble, due to improper feed
ing, is often mistaken for white diar

sweet or sour milk. Do not overfeed,
but feed often. Later give little bit
of fine grains, such as pinhead oats,
cracked wheat or chick size cracked
corn, scattered in the litter to induce
exercise. Beef scrap should not be
given until chicks are at least week
old. Scald the drinking vessels fire.
quently, give plenty of green's after
the first five days and keep the chicks
exercising and there will never be any
bowel trouble among the birds.
Leg weakness frequently comes
from lack of exercise Chicks appear
healthy, have good appetites, are
bright, but have no use of their legs.
Give them every opportunity to exer-
else, but do not allow them to be-
come chilled. Bottom heat in a
brooder will cause this trouble. The
heat should always descend on a
chicks back, never upward. Lack Of
bone forming materials in the food,
such as bone or shell meal, also causes
leg weakness, and every properly COM
pounded chick food contains these in
gradients, so, if it doesn't, either add
them or get one that does.
To sum all up, if vigorous, quick
growing chicks are wanted breed from
only the strongest and best of stock,
disinfect freely, clean up regularly,
feed the best of food, give lots of good
fresh water and use common. sense.

WORK nas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever Known From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ego, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which

other combination of drugs ever COM

Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In The Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,

over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them

FILLS A LONG FELT WANT

A very valuable and much needed
book has just been finished and turn
ed over to the city attorney. 1t is the
record for tax certificates, which
have hitherto been recorded only by
bundles of duplicates and stubs
easy to lose and exceedingly diff
cult to trace.
The record is a large and conven-
iently arranged book. 1t contains a
full record of all tax payments up
to date, and has room for those for
many years to come. 1t is compact
and easy to handle as we'll as .accur-
ate
The book was compiled by the
skilled accountant and scribe, Mr..
w. H. Harrison, who certainly serv-
ed the city we'll by the neat and &C
curate manner in which he did the

shipped all over the state by con-
tractors in this class of work. The
new concern will manufacture all
kinds of cement-sand building blocks
as we'll as marble for interior work.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. IA. j. Anna
SON., travelling man living here,
shot his wife and committed suicide
last night, at the intersection of
Trinity avenue and Whitehall street.
As far as can be learned the tragedy

his wife, who was found and attract
i've, engaged in a brief conversation
suddenly, said the witness, the man
drew a revolver and fired three or
four times, the woman falling to the
sidewalk. Amason then turned the
weapon upon himself, firing TIVE

heart. Amason and his wife were
both dead before medical aid could
reach them.

Russian Minister'S Pessimistic View a
Expressed Saturday.

New York, Sept. 2s.--Before sailing
for Glasgow on his way to Petrograd
aboard the Olympic of the White Star
line, Alexandra de Stalevsky, Russian
minister to Mexico, spoke freely Satur-
day on conditions in that country, as
he said he had found them.
Mexico is without a government and
practically id state of anarchy" he
said. with the exception of the state
of Yucatan, where some semblance of or
der is still maintained, it is unsafe for
person TO travel in Mexico. The bands
of brigands that rob, burn and pillage
as they please without interference from
the authorities are the cause of all the
trouble. There is no interference from
the national authorities simply because
there is no national government worth
mentioning.
"The United States should not with
draw its troops from Vera Cruz From
what | was able to observe. there is no
prospect that a stable government may
be established in Mexico. Carranza is
an able political chief, but he cannot
