CHARLTON PREWITT DEAD

Charlton Evans Prewitt, sixteen
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Mark
Prewitt, died in a Cincinnati hospi-
tai Thursday where he had been
taken for an operation. He was a
bright, manly boy and many hearts
were made sad when the news of
his death was learned.
1t is sad to give up one whose in
fuence among men would doubtless
have been for good: who by precept
and example was so well calculated
to spread abroad the blessed in
fuence of godly living. Yet He who
doeth all things well, makes no mis-
takes. The human link snapped
asunder on earth is forged anew in
heaven. The yearning parents mourn
not as one without hope. 1t is true
that when beautiful youth is gone
not much of life remains; hence the
dear ones eyes are closed to all
earthly trials. In his springtime of
enthusiasm and tenderness, ere the
sunshine of hope and joy was ex-
tinguished, he passed to the glor-
ious beyond. -
While the silence of death wraps
and chills us at this moment, men,
cries, sweet and precious, come
crowding in.
Death is hard master. He
would take from us of our brightest
and best, but he cannot even mar
memory. 1t will serve as a balm TO
our wounded hearts.
Thus closed the early life of one
who, being dead, yet speaketh.
May time bring its resignation,
and may the shores of eternity that
receives his soul, surround it with
everlasting sunshine and flowers.
Funeral services were conducted
at the residence Saturday morning
at ten o'clock by Rev. Clyde Darsie
with burial in Machpelah cemetery.
The Advocate extends sympathy to
the bereaved family.

STOP BURNING LEAVES

There is city ordinance against
the burning of leaves and the people
are requested and urged not to vio-

burning them and spreading disease
germs. This notice is given in the

officers will be directed to arrest the
offenders.

CLEAN UP YOUR POULTRY HOUSE
BEFORE PUTTING IN YOUR
PuLLETs.
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

At this time of the year when the
pullets are being put into their winter
quarters there should be thorough
housekeeping. Clean the house by
scrubbing it with broom and water
if necessary and then spray 1t with
some good spray mixture. You can
use to advantage one of the so-called
sheep dips or coal tar products that
are on the market. Directions for ap-
plying vary somewhat, but are always
given on the cans Of containers in
which the products are sold. If the
house is badly infested with mites,
which. by the way, are worse than lice,
II might be wen to use a kerosene
emulsion which is made as follows:
Hard soap. Y ID.
Boiling soft water, gallon
Kerosene. gallons.
This. can be applied with a spray
pump or a white wash brush or broom
may be used. The important thing is
to get the solution well into the cracks
and other hiding places of the mites.
Sometimes poultry houses are white
washed to free them from lice and
mites and this is very efficient
method especially II well done How
ever several poultrymen have reported
cases Of eye trouble caused by the
lime from the wash getting into the
eyes OF the fowls. Where the birds
run out doors a great deal of the time
this trouble probably will not occur.

focks.
White wash containing earbolic acid
was once widely recommended for
poultry houses. but it is doubtful II
