NEUROLOGY.
Mrs. Dave MAYER.

When the news of the death OF
Mrs. Dave Mayer. of Battle Creek,
I Michigan, was received Saturday
nerning it came as a great sur
prise and shock to the family and
friends. who had been constantly
assured that the illness that
caused the family physician to
send her to the famous Sanitsrium
1t Battle Greek, was but a nervous
breakdown, that would be over
come by absolute rest and quiet.
And then the telegram announcing
her death was received without
any warning that Mrs. Meyers
cOnditlon was any worse, and so
her sudden and unexpected death
made the blow the greater.
The deceased was the only
daughter of Mrs. Caroline and the
late Simon Winberg. and was
born and reared in Natchitoches,
where she lived until her marriage
some years ago, when she moved
to Ranides parish. Mrs. Meyer was

Ezernack also taught in some of
the best schools in the state. This
estimable lady had retired from
educational circles some years ago,
she having suffered a stroke of
paralysis. She bore her affection
with patience and fortitude. and
patiently awaited the end. For

The deceased is survived by one

900 year by reason of ravages of
the boil weevil, an insect that
bores into the cotton boil and kills
it. Why? Because the quails,
prairie chickens, meadow larks
and other birds, which were for
merly there in millions, have been
swept away by thoughtless men
and boys.
The grain growers are losing
over $1,O00,000,000 year on ac-
count of the work of the chinch
bug. They are losing another
100000 on account of the
work of the Hessian fly. Both of
these are very small insects, al
most microscopic in size. 1t takes
24,O00 chinch bugs to weigh an
ounce, and nearly $4,000 Hessian
flies to weigh an ounce.
Scientific men announce that
there is no way on earth by which
these insects can be destroyed ex-
cept for the people to stop the
killing of the birds, absolutely and
at all times, and let them come
back and take care of the insects.

when there was occasion to revise
his first opinion of this man Cats.
But that would not prevent us
from giving him courteous treat
ment as a guest in Palatka, and
mentioning him respectfully. We
might have said that he was a
wonderful demagogue with
great power and ability" to fool

one whom the misfortunes of dem
ocratic policies may yet compel

Now a Money Crop

DldCk-cyeu peas may HOW DE
considered one of the "money
crops" of Florida. About a year
ago the Jacksonville Wholesale
GrocerS Association became arouS-
ed on the subject Of the large
sums, $5 100000 to $1,000,000,
which annually were sent out of
the state for that nutritious article
of diet. That body proceed to
investigate. The attention of the
Times Union was drawn to the
subject of this economic waste
and on the last Sunday in August
an article appeared in our local
columns which gave the contents
of a letter from an expert of the
national agriculture department
telling how the Florida black-eyed
pea may be saved from the raw
ages of the weevil which render
ed the Florida product commerce
ally worthless.
Now we learn that the assOcia-
ton took steps to increase the sup
ply from this state and to put in
to effect this experts advice. The
result is that the crop of this state,
duly kiln-dried at q degree of heat
that kills the weevil and its eggs
but low enough to leave the germ
of the pea unharmed, is passing
int '-'-"astate commerce. This
was successfully done at a kiln
established at Gainesville for the
purpose, The process made them
as tit for storage as the Califor-
MIA product, which is standard.
To increase the supply the Jack
sonville Wholesale Grocers Asso-
citation has furnished with seed all
Florida farmers who would agree
to raise the black-eyed peas, prom
ising to buy the entire crop at
price of $3.50, or pay the
market price should it go above
that figure The price did 20 a.
bovc that minimum by 35 cents
and the members of the associa-
tion kept their word by paying
S2.85 per bushcl.
Thus the wholesale groccrs are
cooperating disintcrcstadly with
the farmers of Florida in produc-
ing a crop which is said to be
rather superior in quality to that
OF California. 1t is a crop, too,
which responds generously to
proper, cultivation in both amount
and quality. There is no other
edible legume which quite equals
1t IN the amount of both protein
and carbohydrates it contains. un-
less 1t be the soy bean so popular
IN Aslatic countries. The popu-
larlty in the Southeast of this
American product is shown by
the fact that in some seven wears
ago the price had risen from one
dollar below to one dollar above
the price per bag for Lima beans
or pea beans.
There is nothing of profit to the
wholesale grocer in preferring to
deal III the Florida rather than in |
tn" California product. 1t is an
evidence of their interest in con-
serving and developing the re-
sources of Florida Florida |
Union.

London, Eng.-The Austrians
and Germans in Galicia are still
falling back before the advance of
the Russians, who, according to
Petrograd, have made additional
gains along the Sereth and Zlota-
Lipa Rivers, and have captured
the strongly fortified town of 1'us-
tobaby, northwest of the Dniester.
On the upper Sereth, however, the
Teutonic Allies at some points on
their newly chosen line, are hold
ing back the Russians with a Wig
orouS artillery fire.
Berlin says that south of Brody
in the Lub and Graberka sector,
Russian attacks were put down
with heavy losses, and that Rus
SLAMS who have penetrated posi-
tions on the Zboroff- Konjucay
line, northeast of Tarnopol, later
were driven out and 300 of them
taken prisoner. According to vi
emma, a Russian attack southwest
of Podkamien near Brody, ended
with the field before the Austro-
German position covered with
Russian dead.
No change took place Monday
along either the British or French
lines in France, bad weather hind
ering the operations, which were.
confined almost exclusively to ar
tillery duels. According to Ber-
lin the British have been expelled
from trenches over a front of TOO
yards southwest of the Thiepval-
Pozieres sector, which they occu-
pied Sunday.
On the Isonzo front, according
to Rome, the Italians. have made
still further advances against the
Austrians along the Carso Plat
eau and east of Hill 212. In the
Gorilla sector, Rome says, the
Austrians guns are busily employ
ed against the Italians. Here, ac-
cording to Vienna, seven charges
by the Italians were repulsed
Petrograd reports a continual
tion of the Turkish offensive on
the Persian frontier, but asserts
that a retreat Of the Turks has
been forced on the southwest bank
Of Lake Van, Turkish Armenia,
through the fire of the Russian
lotiIla on the lake.
The Turkish War Office says the
Russians in Persia continue to be
driven back by the Ottoman fore
es and that in Armenia, north of
Bitlis, the Turks have made fur
ther advance.

Losses Through Lack of Birds

Scientists have determined by

investigation that the farmers and
fruit growers over this country
are losing over $1,OOO,OOO,OOO a

senseless destruction of birds dur
