TO INCREASE EGG PRODUCTION.

Feeding skim milk and meat scraps to
poultry will increase egg production, Of
course you poultry raisers know that, but
it was the headliner of a talk made by
Prof. A, G. Philips, of Perdue University
at the Kansas Agricultural college home
week, now being held in Manhattan. To
prove it, be said: "In an experiment
carried on at Purdue. university for the
last four years, where meat scraps, skim
milk and fish scraps were used as a source
of animal protein. the results are marked.
The average egg production of the hens
fed none of these three feeds was 80 l-2
eggs year. In the meat scrap pen the
production was 1875 eggs; fish scrap pen,
1913 eggs; and skim milk pen, 1856 4 per
bird. Everything points towards the
fact that the difference in egg produc-
ton was due to the addition of one of
these three feeds to a ration composed of
corn, wheat, oats, bran and shorts. For
every 100 pounds of milk fed birds, there
was return of ST. GA in eggs. For every
100 pounds of meat scrap fed there was
1882 returned in eggs. "-Atchison

Your Children Become
Rosy and Robust

When children act listless, look
frail, lose appetite, become cross and
peevish, you need to look after them
very carefully. The dull eyes, coated
tongue, bad breath tell you that the
stomach is out OF order, the liver mac
tive, the bowels need attention, and
perhaps worms may be making their
troubles worse. Whatever it is, you
may be sure that Il. F." Atwood's
Medicine will do them a great deal
of good. 1t acts surely on the stom-
ach and bowels, regulates the liver,
and has tonic effect which brings
back appetite, fills out cheeks and
makes them rosy. This medicine is
safe for the children, and you see its
good effects in a surprisingly short time.

or write to-day for free sample.

The Shoats Knew Best.

College professors spend lot of time
studying out "balanced rations" for
cattle and hogs, but professor in the
Iowa experimental station decided to let
bunch of shoats balance their own ra-
tions and the result was most satisfac-
tory. Forty-two were divided into six
lots and each lot fed differently. In one
pen different kinds of feed were placed
where the shoats could eat it when they
wanted it and as much of any kind as
they wanted. They beat all the others
growth, consumed less feed and saved
a.lot. of worklof feeding. -Atchion. Globe.

TWO CATHOLIC SCHOOLS in SAVANNAH SUP
PORTED BY STATE FUNDS.

For some years it has been reported that the
teachers of two Catholic schools in Savannah are
paid out of the funds of the State of the city
of Savannah Recent complaints concerning this
matter have been made to the State School Sup
erlntendent, who referred the question to the At
torney General The Attorney General has rem
dered and made public his opinion, which will be
found on another page Of this issue.
The facts upon which his opinion are given are
briefly stated, as follows:
The Roman Catholics of Savannah own two
school buildings, known Cathedral and ST..
Patrick The city is given free of these build
ings for public school purposes upon the condi-
ton that all the teachers assigned to these two
schools are members of the Roman Catholic
Church Children of all faiths and of no faith
may enter as pupils, and the courses of study are
the same as those pursued in all the other city
schools. In these Catholic schools the services of
that Church are held each day, but they take
place before the hour for the opening of the
school The teachers of these schools paid
out OF the public funds, and according to the opin
ion of the Attorney General these schools are Sec
tarian and the payment of the teachers out of the
public funds is in violation of the law of the
State.
The Roman Catholics have not been sinners
above Protestant denominations in putting their
hands into the public treasury. Not few Metho-
dist and Baptist high schools in Georgia. in other
years it not now, have received public funds In
every case it has been over our protest and wa
are still uncompromisingly opposed to any de-
nominational schools receiving public money.
The Catholics of Savannah ought to be made to
stop it, and likewise all denominations who re-
celVe public money should be made to stop it,
We are glad to have the opinion of the At
tOrney General and the recitation of the law that
forbds the aid Of the State to sectarian institu-
tons Among sectarian institutions are denomi-
national schools. Violaters of this law ought to
be removed from office, and men should succeed
them who will enforce the law Professionals
ought not to be forced to send their children to
Catholic schools and Catholics and Jews and un-
believers ought not to be forced to send their
children to Protestant schools. If the Catholic
and Protestant schools cannot be maintained
without State aid, then let them die, and the
sooner the better. If Protestants put their hands
into the treasury of the State then they must ac-
cord the same privilege to the Catholics
we sincerely hope hat the State School Super- {:
lntendent will bring to the attention of the proner
offlcers OF the law and violations of it, and that
the necessary steps will be taken to maintain the
complete separation of Church and State:
