Dear little bride-to-be, now or later on are you amendable to a little ad- vice and even though you are not, am sure you will receive 8 plenty from all the in-laws and from kind friends.
 Of course you are starting out on your Journey of married life with a brave and smiling face which Is as it should be. but are you going to keep on smiling? You feel just now in the beginning that you are going to make the best of everything that may hap pen to you. You may for few short days, months or years, but have you the courage that will never falter? Is your smile with which you are now facing the world the kind of smile that is engraved on your heart7 Is it tho kind that won't come off. You are going to have many ups and downs in life, dear little bride, and more often life is composed mostly of downs when we were most sure 1t was going to be mostly ups, but see that your courage is the kind that will meet what comes with brave heart.
 You may think you know the man you are about to marry. You may think you know his innermost thoughts but you do not That is truth. And after you have trotted along with him for 10, 10 or 20 years you will know even less than you thought you knew, if he be like good many men You may not be getting one of the exceptions, dear girl, for there are exceptions on both sides. Let us hope you are getting an exception, and let us also hope the man is getting one, too, but even though you are get ting the best man in the world you must become adjusted to each other, you will grow faint of heart before you have learned all his likes and dislikes, but here is where you must smile your sweet est smiles, never let him think you think he is not exactly normal, but while you are making him feel he is the only man in the world, be holding him to your will In sweet quiet way and never for get the smile. Be sure little bride that your will is the right will and if you will is the right will and if you will only be gentle but firm and will begin right on the start you can have him pulling your way and also pulling half the load and giving you a lift when needed.
 Don't be the nagging. whining sort. of a wife. You will never gain any thing by it and so If you are the least inclined that way don't, above all cul- tivate the habit. For habit of any sort when once 1t becomes attached to

SOME ADVICE TO BRIDE-TO-BE

one Is very hard to get rid of. l be- lieve were I to have to make my choice between the nagger or the winner l would choose the former, for the form CT will let up when company comes or you are in a crowd, but the latter takes the same old whine along Wher- ever she goes. Learn early in life that man must be let alone at times. Let him think he Is having his own sweet way. He may have had to go way round Robin Hoods barn" to have his way, but see that he really has his way once in while. He will come round to your way of thinking when he has taken a few knocks and bumps from this old world, and 1t may be that for all your wisdom his way is the best. If you find it is just keep on. smiling and follow his lead. Men are like chill dren, they require a great deal of pet ting. So do not be sparing Of your kind words, nor of your praise. Noth- ing so keeps a mans courage up to the top notch as to feel and know that his wife thinks he Is doing his very best. So see that you keep him hav- ing as good an opinion of himself as he has of you or better for If we are to believe all mems talk some have not very high opinion of their wife's ability. Whatever comes to you, turn your face to it with a smile. Only so will you ever be able to meet all that comes your way. Oh, that I could make you understands; but sad to say, we seldom heed warnings that do not come out of ones own bitter exper- ience Only by smiling at all times will you ever be able to meet all that comes your way Oh, that I could make you understand but sad to say we seldom heed warnings that do not come out of ones own bitter exper- fence. Only by smiling at all times will you ever be able to write smile upon the little faces that may some time brighten your home. The little face that never asked to come. Re- member that a soul born into this world is forever. So write you smile upon your unborn children's faces, give them the heritage of a smile eathed face for this old world if you have nothing else to give them. I pray for you, dear little bride, that upon your face may be the smile that will dispe1 some of the shadows that fall around the feet of most who walk. Wichita Eagle.

CANNING GREENS

Greens can be made available for use the year round by canning them The following method has been used with perfect success in both home and commercial canning: After cleaning, steam in vessel with a little water under false bottom for Is to 20 min utes. Then plunge quickly into cold water Cut into convenient lengths Pack tight in jar or container and season to taste. Add hot water to fill crevices and level teaspoonful of salt to each quart, put on the cover loosely. Then place the jars in water deep enough to cover. If a boiler is used put in a slat bottom to raise the jar from the bottom of the boiler. Keep the water boiling 90 minutes. Then put on the covers tight. The cans can then be set away. The fol- lowing greens can be put up in this way: Asparagus. Swiss chard, spin ach, beet tops dandelion, pepper cress. lambs quarter, sourdock. wild mustard and many others.

FARMERS UNION INDORSES
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The suffragists are pleased to note that the Farmers union indorsed the resolution reading, in part: That this government, profiting by the experi- ence of other governments, and by granting the franchise to women, as well itself of the services of women, as well as of men, in the full efficiency of citizenship"
 Mrs Richard F. Johnston, the inde- fatiable chairman of the Ninth con- gressional district, presented this reso- lution with characteristic force and earneStneSS.
 The splendid men who compose this body, and who know well that women work the longest hours on the farm, are quick to see that in the great world outside with equal opportuni- ties, they will be able to render most valuable help-hence their willingness to indorse equal suffrage.
 The farmers of the state must feel greatly encouraged in their great work when they see what is being done by the Alabama Marketing and Canning company. This means thou sands of dollars saved, for we all pre- fer home packed goods, and with the 30 branches of this company over the state every farmer can derive the bene- fits of these canneries.
 The quarterly meeting of the Ninth congressional and county committee or the Alabama Equal Suffrage associa- tion took place at Cable hall Tuesday afternoon at o'clock, Mrs R. F. John- ston, chairman, presiding.

 System is the main thing in raising poultry. Good. clean food, variety. not too much, just keeping them little hungry, in clean troughs or upon clean boards, fresh, clean water, with little permanganate or Douglas mixture in 1t, from time to time. Sleeping quarters that are well ventilated and kept clean. All these well looked after is what con- stitutes system and spells success and profit.
 What growing chicks need is just what they can pick up while running at large. Bugs. weed seeds, gravel, char coal worms and many other things they do not get when they are kept confined in yards. They must have these elements and if they cannot find these they must be provided them in some way. You should see to 1t that they have them
 If poultry Is ailing, first find the cause, remove the same, then treat the disease. There are a few common ail- ments. A few simple remedies and sometimes unknown diseases that can not be accounted for or treated. To locate or diagnose all ailments of dumb animals and poultry is difficult matter.
 Faulty incubation, faulty breeding and faulty feeding are responsible for far greater mortality in chicks than the so- called white diarrhoea." White diar- rhoea" may sometimes be germ dis east, but more often we believe that 1t Is the result of bad management some where. We know that specific" germs are often found in the intestines of chicks which die of diarrhoea troubles. but 1t should be remembered that the intestines may normally harbor good hat 1ar rro< <sc of a dead chick under a hen, or in brooder provides a first-class breeding place for germs in it's intestines.

overlook the real cause of your chick losses.
 I want to urge upon every town that can hold an exhibition of poultry this winter, to do so. Poultry shows should be greater this winter than ever. They do more to help along production of more and better poultry than can be done in any other way Shows, as rule, are not money making propos- ton directly, but they pay the members of poultry associations and the commu- nifty in the long run.
 In order to maintain good health, hen, in proportion to it's size, needs nearly seven times the amount of fresh air that horse requires. Fowls do not sweat in sense as do animals, but instead breathe several times faster than heated sweating animals. They get rid of much of the waste of the body by means of the lungs.
 Purebreds properly raised and cared for are better layers and the eggs are more uniform and of better color than are those from crossbreds or mongrels. Besides, the young from purbreds ma ture quicker more uniformly, give bet ter carcasses and utilize the food con- sumed to better advantage.
 Sickness is the penalty for some mis- take. A good poultryman is ever on the watch. Scaley leg Is a condition that calls for prompt and heroic treatment A single case in a flock in time will spread to every fowl Grease of some kind is valuable. Painting the roost with liquid lice-killer will destroy the little mites that cause the scaley forma- ton on the legs.
 The general causes of diarrhoea are indigestible food. chill, coarse or half cooked food, too much bran, scarcity of grit exposure to heavy rains irregular and improper feeding, filthy water and too much fat
