R. R. Brakeman is spending the

The man who talks every week to a
thousand men, while I am talking to
one, is the man l am afraid of, and
want to be his friend. The business
man who does not advertise is poor
stick. Trade with the men who ad-
vertise if you want to get bargains
and the worth of your money"
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Kupperbusch,
Sr., left last Sunday for White
Springs, where they will enjoy a va
cation of several weeks. Every one
in palatka will wish this worthy cou-
pie delightful rest and a good time.
Mr.. Krpperbusch has been sticking
pretty close to business during the
past year and needed the rest. His
business has been placed in tn, hands
of NJ. il. Martin during his absence,
and Mr.. Martin says that as all has
been running well since Mr.. Kupper-
busch went away, and that he means
to keep it running well, or better
than we'll all the time he is gone, it
is likely that "Charley" will take a
good, long rest.

Mrs. Vickers Gives Unique Party.

Mrs. NJ. NJ. Vickers was the charm
ing hostess Tuesday afternoon at a
most unique and original brides
maids party" The guests included
Mrs. Harwood Rosser of Jacksonville,
formerly Miss Ethel Merryday of this
city, and her bridesmaids who attend
ed her at her wedding ten years ago.
By a strange coincidence the ladies
of the original wedding party, with
the exception of Mrs. ]. H. Randolph
of Savannah, formerly Miss Blanche
Grill, were all in Palatka, and Mrs.
Vickers seized the opportunity to
gather them together, and a most en-
joyable affair resulted. The after
noon was spent most informally, talk
ing over the events of the fast flying
years, recalling old memories, and en-
joying the delightful hospitality of
the hostess, who was assisted by her
mother, Mrs. Alderman, and sisters,
Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Elliott, and fas-
cinating little Miss Vickers. Deli
cious refreshments were served and
the ladies parted reluctantly after
enjoying a most unusual afternoon.

ing, it being the occasion of his nine
teenth birthday. Fifteen couples

making, the guests were treated to
cakes, cream and sandwiches. Ma
ny lovely gifts were received by the
surprised young host.

SOUR MILK AS FOOD
MAKES EGG COST LOW

Eggs laid by hens fed plenty Of
sour milk cost 1913 cents dozen al
the years average. Those laid BY
hens fed beef scraps, rich porteir
foods, cost IL 1-3 cents, while those
fed only on grains and mash cost
1928 cents dozen.
These are the results of the poul-
try feeding experiments through q
year recently completed at the Col
lege Of Agriculture Of the University
of Missouri, at Columbia. The tests
were made on three separate pens of
twenty-fowls each, the white Leg
horn being the breed Of chickens used.
The chickens of the first pen ate
during the year 956 pounds Of grain
and 446 pounds of mash with all the
sour milk they would drink. The feed
cost $28.18. They produced S,275
eggs In the pen in which beef scraps
were fed, the flock ate 1905 pounds
of grain and 422 pounds of mash,
one-fourth of the latter being beef
scraps. The cost of the feed for this
pen was $27.51 and the number of
eggs produced was 2,668.
The chickens in the other pen were
fed on meat or protein foods. They
ate 1,046 pounds of grain, 400 pounds
of mash and laid 1873 eggs. The
feed for this pen cost $26.01.
H. L. Kempster, professor of poul-
try husbandry in the University, cites
this feeding test as evidence of his
claims that the richer foods are the
profitable ones for the poultry raiser.
At an average sale price of rs cents
a dozen, the product of the granted
pen would bring $3.50, just little
more than the feed cost. The pro-
duction of the pen in which beef
scrap was fed would have brought in
$55.57; just a few cents more than
twice the cost of the feed. The flock
fed sour milk would have brought in
$6S.23, a profit of almost $50 per cent. |

GOOD SEED CORN

Much depends on the quality of our
seed corn. One cannot always tell
by the appearance of an ear wheth-
er it will grow or not. Many poor
stands of corn get credited to the
weather and the crows that could have
been prevented by testing the seed.
If ten ears plant an acre, it is easy
to see the loss one dead ear will cause.
1t is so easy to take three or four
grains from each seed ear and plant
them where they will grow. In 4
few days we will know without any
guess work whether our seed is good
or bad. A box divided into small
squares with old paper trays, or with
strings tied across the top at right
angles, makes good tester. Fill
with any material that can be kept
moist enough to sprout corn. A few
grains from each ear are placed in
each square and the work is done. In
few days we will know whether oui
corn is alive or dead.
In our work in the Normal school
we use cloth seed corn testers. Strips
of bleeched muslin feet inches long
and l foot wide are marked with lead
pencil or ink. First line is drawn
lengthwise through the center of the
tester to 10 inches of either end. Ev-
cry three inches cross lines are
drawn. This gives US twenty spaces
which are numbered. Placing the
grains in position and rolling the
tester up it is ready to be moistened.
This can be done by pouring water
over the tester or placing it so that
one end dips in water allowing the
moisture to be taken up by capillar-
ity. The kind Of tester is immater-
ial. TESTING is the important
thing.

HEALTH GUARDS
The Prevention Of Scarlet Fever.

The papers say that the worst en-.
, idenic Of scarlet fever in the history
+ Of Kansas is now raging in that State.
The proximity of Kansas to Missouri
makes the condition serious.
i Scarlet fever is justly one Of the
most dreaded diseases Of children.
not only because Of the high death
| rate, but also on account Of the per-
manent injuries which are often left,
such as diseases of the heart, diseas-
es Of the kidney, deafness, etc. From
8 to 8 years of age is the time at
which it is most prevalent. After
six years the liability declines, and
by the age Of Is very marked re-
sistence is observed. Nevertheless,
cases occur in grown persons. It is
more prevalent in temperate coun-
tries than in hot countries, and in
the United States it occurs more in
the North than in the South. 1t is
seen mostly in the winer and spring,
very few caes occurring during the
summer months.
After exposure there is a period
averaging from twelve to fourteen
days, but sometimes running longer,
before the disease declares itself.
The onset is always abrupt, manifest
ed by headache, chilliness, slight sore
throat, vomiting, and in young chill
dren frequently commissions. Vom-
iting is one of the most constant
symptoms, marking the onset in at
least three-fourths of all cases. An
other characteristic symptom is the
so-called strawberry tongue, the
coated tongue with the little eleva-
ton. The eruption comes out usually
on the chest in from three to ofur
teen hours after the first symptoms,
rarely longer, and is sometimes en-
tirely absent, Feeling begins in from
four to five days and lasts usually
from four to five weeks. For the pa
tient this is one of the most danger
GUS periods. The new skin is likely
to be very sensitive to changes of
and it is at this time
that the development of kidney and
other troubles is likely to occur.
The disease is contagious from the
first symptoms to the last of the peel
ing. Those cases in which there are
any discharges from the ears and
nostrils are particularly dangerous.
In hospitals for contagious diseases,
children are never allowed to leave as
long as any discharge can be found.
The average time of confinement in
such hospitals is fifty days, conse-
quently parents of children who have
contracted scarlet fever should not
be in hurry to put their children
out.
The disease is spread most fire.
luently directly from patient to pa
tient, consequently isolation is
chief factor in preventing its spread.
Medical inspection of schools has not
able effects in preventing the spread
IF scarlet fever. The germ of the di-
sease can also be carried by clothing
Or any article which has come in di-
rect contact with the discharge of the
patient, consequently all such articles
should be thoroughly boiled or dis
before using again.
Above all things scarlet fever
should not be trified with, according
to DIR. M. P. Ravenel of the depart
ment of preventive medicine of the
University of Missouri at Columbia.
A competent physician should be call
ed at once, and put into complete
charge of the case.
