ADVERTISING
APPROPRIATE INTRODUCTION.

When the illustration and the dis
play lines have captured your atten-
ton. the opening statement must be
sufficiently strong to hold your inter
est and even make you feel that you
want the advertised article.
The writer Of good advertising Is
careful to make his Introduction fit

lines-to couple the idea expressed
In the picture and the heading with
the matter that is to follow.

advertiser were to jump right into a
discussion of his stock of shoes, or If
he were to talk about the scarcity Of
leather.
A paragraph on the value Of per-
feet fit in shoes and the dangers of
poor fit will greatly improve the adj
vertisement And it is thus more like
ly to induce you to read further and
possibly go to the advertisers store
for shoes that you believe will feel
comfortable.

GIVE POULTRY PLENTY
OF PURE WATER

Water Is q very important part of
the ration required by poultry. The
body Of an average mature hen con-
tAins about IS per cent water. An
egg is about IS per cent water. All
feed consumed by poultry must be
softened by water to prepare it for the
digestive process. Blood is composed
very largely Of water, which serves
to carry red and white corpuscles to
the different parts Of the body to
nourish the needy tissues and elimi-
nate waste products. Water is just as
important and valuable as feed in
maintaining the body health Of the hen
and as a factor in the maximum pro-
duction Of eggs.
Supplying water once or twice . day
b not sufficient. Pure. fresh water
should be available to poultry at all
times. It serves not only the purposes
mentioned. but to lower the body tenn
peraturs Of the hen. This is done BY
. system Of evaporation through the
breathing organs which Is the cause
OF hens holding their mouth open and
breathing rapidly on hot day. The
faster they breathe the more rapid
is the evaporation through the lungs
and the lower is the body tempera-
ture.
The average flock Of one hundred
hens will use about five gallons Of
water daily during the hot season.
Considering both the present prices
Of feed and the relative value Of feed
and water in the ration water has a
feeding value of about twenty cents a
gallon. AS water costs practically
nothing, there is no excuse for neg
Letting this very important factor In

ton of pattern marking and cutting
by the Misses Verret was held al
Gray's Hall which has been turned
over without charge to the Red
Cross BY Mr.. and Mrs. c. S. Gray.
The Hall is well lighted and ven
tilated and is a splendid place for
the work to be done. A part of the
building has been partitioned for
a store room for finished garments
and for uncut goods. Already there
are many shelves piled high with
bandages, bathrobes, pajamas, pads,
etc, which have been completed by
the various branches of the chapter
and forwarded here for shipment to
the distributing agencies for the
Red Cross. With the new cutter in
operation, the. Headquarters cutting
room will be able to keep all the
Parish units supplied with garments
all cut. This elimination of hand cut
ting by the different Chapter
branches will greatly increase the
output Of the parish.
Mrs. NJ. P. Palmer, acting chair
man of the Chapter, and her asso-
ciates are elated over the new cut
ter and the ease with which it is
operated and the time it saves for
them. With this machine they now
feel that the patriotic work they are
carrying on will be greatly enhanced
and that the Chapter will be enabled
to turn out a satisfactory volume of
work. Mrs. Palmer has devoted her
entire time to the coordination of
the different branches Of her Chap
ter and had already placed them on
an unusual efficiency basis. Now that
the cutter is at their service, the
work will go ahead on an increasing
scale
The electric cutter donated by
Mrs. Lawless to the St. Mary Chap
ter is perhaps the only cutter in use
in the state outside of New Orleans.
It gives the St. Mary Parish great
prestige in the work of the Red
Cross. Mrs. T. C. Lawless is the
treasurer Of the St. Mary Chapter.
She is also the manager Of the great
mills at Garden City but she is let
ing nothing interfere with her Red
Cross obligations. The cutter dona-
ed by Mrs. Lawless is installed in

be observed in the operating of any

could soon become an expert. The

minimized by guard. The ladies of
