Dixie's Land.

The term ''Dixie's Land originated
in New York in the early part of the
past century. 1t is said to have come
into general use when Texas Joined
the Union, and the negroes sang of it
as "Dixie."
In the popular mythology of New
York city Dixie was the negroes para
disc on earth in times when slavery
and the slave trade were fourishing in
that quarter. Dixie owned tract of
land on Manhattan Island, and also a
large number of slaves, and his slaves
increased faster than his land, an emf
grafton ensued and naturally negroes
who left it for distant parts looked to
it as a place of unalloyed happiness,
and it was the "old Virginny" of the
negroes of that day; hence Dixie be-
came synonymous with an ideal local
ity combining ineffable happiness and
every imaginable requisite Of earthly
beatitude. Press.

The simple job of that soldiery was to

Why People Die Early.

High blood pressure belongs to q
group of old age diseases Bright's dis
ease, arteriosclerosis, heart failure.
apoplexy and paralysis. People natu-
rally die of them at seventy to eighty
years of age. If they fall victims at an
earlier age there is something wrong.
What is wrong? Why do people die
prematurely? / believe it is because
we fail to search for and find the symp
toms of these organic diseases. There
is no question at all that if we can dis
cover the right agent to fight the toxins
that live in the colon or large bowel
the average man and woman should
live to be at least hundred. The
American people are going to take
death prevention more seriously than
they do now. Some day when men and
women die under fifty years Of age a
coroner's inquest will be called to de-
termine the cause of their untimely
demise.-Dr. w. s. Sadler in Golfers

Parrots and Mater.

There is a curious superstition ex,
istent among parrot keepers" says L.
S. Crandall in Pets. Ito the effect that
theseS birds not only require no wa
ter, bur are better off without it. The
foundation for this absurd belief is not
hard to find When parrots, particu-
larly young birds, are being brought
from the tropics they are customarily
fed on boiled corn or bread and milk.
What moisture they require is obtain
ed from the food. If such birds are
suddenly given access to unlimited wa
ter the effect on the digestive organ Is
dangerous and may result In the death
Of the bird. On the other hand, If the
parrot be given drink daily and then
the water be removed for short pc
Rod the bird will gradually become ac-
customed to it. Once this is accom-
plished there is nothing to fear from
clean water"
