Suggestions for Husbands, Wives and
All Lovers, Married or Single,
That Arc Timely.

If ouhaven't thought up any, here
are few timely suggestions:
For hubby: Never again to spend
a moment out Of the presence Of the
wife unaccompanied by a trustworthy
guardian appointed by her, who will
report faithfully all Of your doings,
even to the irregular CULVER of an eye
lash, or the drinking of soda instead
of buttermilk.
Never again to be such a brute as
to want to stay at home when the
wife wishes to go out, or to wish to
go out-by yourself-when wife de-
sires you to stay at home in the bos-
ON Of your Family.
Never again to growl, grumble or
swear, or pretend to be asleep when
the wife pokes you In the back and
asks you to walk with the baby In
the middle of the night.
Never again to threaten to forbid
tradespeople to allow the wife credit
IL she and the girls do not cease their
extravagance-when the monthly bills
come in.
Never again to forget to peck wife
on the cheek upon leaving her in the
morning and coming home at night,
to tell her that her frightful new bon
net Is a perfect gem, and that her
"fourteen-year-old" short dress is al.
together too old-looking for her youth.
full figure.
For wife: Never again to make
biscuit for breakfast until you have
tried them on your own digestion for
few weeks in the absence Of the
rest Of the family.
Never again to notice pa exchang-
ing glances with the pretty girl across
the aisle all the way downtown.
Never again to keep the lights
turned on when pa has been detained
downtown ION business" in order to
see what time he gets home, or to
insist on his kissing you that you may
smell his breath.
Never again to come to the table
with hair in crimpers and wearing a
soiled kimono.
Never again to subject pa to spells
of lachrymose reproaches. telling him
that he doesn't love you any more.
For lovers, married or single: Never
to miss an opportunity to tell the dear
old story over and over again.
Never to lose the coquettish elu-
siveness that makes lovers so delight
full to each other.
Never again to spend the sweets Of
young lover souls in cheap fiirtations
when there is such a world Of real
happiness at your command.
Never to become insensible to the
delicious tremblings and flutterings Of
your own heart, or to become lax in
all of those lovely attentions and CIV
ings that help to keep keen response
a-thrill In the heart Of the beloved.

BILLY BRYAN'S BEE

Brother Billy Bryan is good
man in some ways but in other
ways he is peculiar. He seems
to be trying as hard to get up an
issue with President Wilson as
the Republicans are and with as
little success. He attacks the
President because of his prepar-
edness and objects to his plans
for raising revenue. He saws
the money should come from the
income tax: that it should be
raised and the rich made to paw
more. He does not agree that
the income tax should be widen
ed so as to take in incomes that
are not now taxed. That might
interfere with Brother Bryan's
income which is said to be by no
means small.
If Brother Bryan would get rid
of that presidential bee in his
bonnet he would be more useful
to his country in this crisis Be
sides, that bee Is getting old and
ought to be out OF it's misery.

SORfHfAD IN POULTRY
Extremely Contagious Disease Of
Fowls Can Cause Serious Loss
Unless Promptly Checked.

Sorehead, a disease Of chickens caus
ed by spores of a common mold, ap-
pears when fowls come in contact with
moldy litter or moldy grain. 1t seems
not to be constitutional disease. It
Is usually confined to the face, comb.
wattles and ear-lobes, eyes, nostrils,
and mouth, but Is occasionally found
under the wings in advanced or neg
lected cases. 1t is extremely con-
tagious and may spread through a
flock in two or three days.
Sorehead is of two kinds, dry and
moist, according to the surface at
lacked by the spores. II it is on the mu.
cous membrane of the eye, mouth, or
nostrils, the moist type develops; IL
on the skin Of the face or adjacent
parts, it will be the dry or warty vari-
ETY.. The moist type is most serious
disease, growing rapidly. 1t soon
closes the eyelids, which swell to an
enormous size, blinds the fowl, and
causes 1t to waste away and die.
When sorehead appears, it is not
necessary to isolate the diseased fowls
from the flock. Look for moldy litter
or food and IL It Is found replace it
with fresh Check the disease by color
Ing the drinking water pink with
few crystals Of permanganate Of pot
ash, and paint the face and comb Of
the apparently well chickens with
equal parts Of creolin and water, or a
strong purple solution Of permangan-
ate OF potash. Give appetizing food.
1t Is advisable to mix the egg mash
with buttermilk or sour skim milk and
feed sprouted oats daily. Cook cheap
meat, cut 1t up, and throw to the
chickens.
The fowls that have the warts
should be caught and the crust Of
each wart removed. The tissue un-
derneath is red. Dip a clean feather
In one Of the remedies named below
and touch the red tissues with the
liquid. Next morning the treated wart
will have black scab over 1t, which
dries and falls off in three or four
days. A week later one cannot de-
tect where the wart was.
In treating the moist variety, It is
necessary to drop the remedy into the
eye. nostrils. or whatever organ is at
tackled This seems cruel, but 1t
saves the fowl.
The remedy the writer prefers is
pure, undiluted creolin We have not
lost a chicken from sorehead since
using this remedy. 1t will eradicate
the disease from the eye and, IL used
in time. will save the sight Other
good remedies are iodine. cresol or
similar disinfectant. 8enoleum, all

In Defense of the English Sparrow
Editor Advertiser:

Editor Advertiser:
l noticed in The Advertiser
a few weeks ago where some one
writing in the Wadesb crO Mes.
sepger and Intelligencer had
said the so called "pesty" Eng
lish sparrow was a good means
of destroying certain detrlmen.
tai forest insect. We were
further advised by our Chester
field editor that this was about
the only compliment ever be-
slowed on this familiar. bird in
regard to his industry.
l would like to say that if our
Editor will lay aside all other du-
ties some time and prove himself
an ornithologist for a few hours,
he will readily find that the lit
tie English sparrow is filled with
most Industrious disposition,
especially in spring time. He is
very busy worker among gar
den plants-and delights in re-
moving many a harmful insect
that serves to destroy young
plant life.
The writer has watched for
hours, the real good of this little
bird that is so much hated by
the average, because they have
never consumed time enough
to turn the bright side of the lit
tie fellow their way.
When you are prone to dis
like the cheerful English spar
row, just devote few spare
hours to his study and you will
no longer abhor the presence of
our little ''feathered friend"
