A Tick Remedy

An Attala county man says:
If the people would feed their
cows on collard leaves they would
shed every tick on them in a
short while" We presume, of
course, that he means that the
cows, not the people. would
"shed every tick %onlthem." but
how long would the ticks stay
shed and what would be the COL
lard acreage necessary to meet
the needs of a given number of
tick infested cattle? If this col
lard doctor wants to introduce a
method that will supplant the
dipping vat he should promptly
favor the public with details.
Madison County Herald.
If the collard diet doesn't work
the farmer might try training
English sparrows to pick the
ticks off. But as a last resort
the dipping vat is unexcelled. -

Why Confederates Are "Spry'

OIL NY Vic oPiJASS
old soldiers.
1t is so years and a little more
since the guns of the Confederacy
began to be forever silent. Fifty
years is a long time. IL is more
than the average life of man.
Fifty years ago the veterans who
are now briskly walking about
the streets of Memphis, were in
the floodtide Of youth. Many of
them had served four hard years.
They had frozen in the winter
and had suffered from the heat
in summer. During these four
wears their rations were never
bounteous and not regular. Now
and then they lived upon the fat
of the land. but the time between
now" and ''then".was long.
During the last year of the
war they were constantly on
short commons. They had few
medical supplies and few clothes.
After the terrible battle OF Nash
vile, near Christmas time IN
1864, the shattered remnants OF
Hoods army marched through
ice and snow into North Alaba-
ma. and it is said that many of
the soldiers were shoeless and
half of them were not comtorta-
bly, shod.
The Confederate soldier today
is more youthful than his Fed
eral adversary. northern gen.
tleman stated that the veterans
gathered in the Grand Army pa
rades were more feeble in ap-
pearance than were the ex-Con-
federates he saw in Memphis
yesterday.
In campaigning the Confeder-
ate soldiers fought as did the
Spartans. Their meagerness OF
supplies, maybe, added to their
long life.
A soldier once stated to the
writer that the soldiers of the
Confederacy fought on the best
ration in the world-cornbread
and fresh beef.
The Federal soldier was heavily
fed. He had The fuITness Of the
earth at his command. He also
lived we'll after the war. Within
10 years after the war half of
the Federal soldiers were on the
pension list, within 20 years two
thirds were on the pension list,
and within 80 years four-ffths
were on the pension list. The
pension was sufficient to enable
the poorest of them to get along
by doing only little work. Not
having to work hard, they got
fat. Fatness is not conducive to
long life. Neither is lack of ex-
ercise.
The closing of the war did not
mean the end of the battle with
the x-Confederate. He came
home and fought for a livelihood.
He had to hustle six days and
sometimes seven days in the
week. No pension came to him
in those days. Three-fourths Of
them returned to the fields, and
for 20 years plowed and sowed
and reaped and harvested. Their
work was in the open. Most Of
them lived in the country, away
from large cities. Having be-
come rugged they were imper-
vious to germs of tuberculosis,
pneumonia and the like.
Their days are long in the land,
because during the war, they
we're temperate in their use Of
food from necessity, and after
the war they were temperate in
the peaceful lines of life they
followed, and they spent much
of their time out of doors.

tinguished breakfast food maker,
