And all Stomach and Bowel troubles

Thousands of men and women say
there is no remedy equal to it for all
diseases of the Stomach and Bowels.
1t is not a purgative.
1t is not a narcotic.
1t is a simple chemical remedy which
is designed to purify the contents of
the Stomach and Bowels, ana to destroy
the germs hidden there.
1t is tasteless and harmless. The con-
tents of an entire bottle taken at once
could not possibly injure even the most
delicate stomach.

semi-tropical trees, vines and
plants. From the residence, which
stands upon all eminence, a mag
nifcent view is given, through
an arch of live oaks, over the
prairie to two distant towns.
At the residence we were shown
what Mr.. McIlhenny calls his
Million Dollar Book" a large
album containing photographs of
wild birds in the trees and on
water, in flight and on their
nests, young and old. These
photos were taken by Nc. Nell
benny, and among them are the
first ever taken of birds in flight.
1t was because he had established
a private Bird Refuge, where mi
gratory birds were protected
from hunters, that Mr.. Mcllhenny
was enabled to secure these in
innate illustrations Of bird life.
With this book Of photographs he
went North and raised one mil
lion dollars for the establishment
of Bird Refuge on a large scale,
rockefeller contributing $455, 900
and Mrs. Sage $250,000. Large
bodies of land along the Gulf
coast are being secured and soon
a reserve seventy-five miles long
will be established and placed un-
der State control. The impor-
tance Of such refuge is shown by
the determination of the passen-
ger pigeon, which within my
knowledge used to flock in mil
lions. The aigrets were fast be-
ing exterimnated by hunters for
their plumage when a law was
passed penalizing their killing.
Ninety per cent of all the aigrets
in the country find refuge on
Avery Island, and even then it is
nee essarv to employ two wardens
to keep off the hunters, for the
plumes of single bird are worth
$4,000.
The first moving picture of birds
was taken on this island in 1904
by French company and proved
the first active step in bird con-
servation. Speaking of birds and

One of the most interesting and
instructive days | have ever spent
was on Avery Island, the most
prominent feature in Evangeline
Land. Technically speaking it is
not an island, for it is not entirely
surrounded by water, but is a
dome 1913 feet high rising out Of
a low prairie about seven feet
above sea level-being the high
est point in the state Of LOUISE

possession 112 years. IN natural
scenic beauty l have never seen
any similar spot. Rising out Of
the prairie, its upward slope is
gradual and its uncultivated sides
are covered with semi-tropical
foliage.
Our party Consisting of-ladies
first-Misses Flora Gleason and
Norma OVERLY, home demonstra-
ton agents, Messrs. Harley l..
Williams, poultry specialist, A.
F. Rolf, associate editor Of Modern
Farming and also poultry spe-
cialist, and myself) was met by
Mr.. E. A. McIIlhenny, grandson
of the original owner of the is
land, who courteously conducted
us through the grounds and indus
tries.
The poultry yards claimed first
attention. Here we found nine
acres under fence, and in the en-
closure were a giant incubator
with capacity of $500 eggs with
IS per cent hatch. In the brood
ers and different yards, of various
ages, were $4,000 chicks. In the
hen house and yard We're $50
Rhode Island Red hens, who pro-
duced 400 eggs daily. Mr.. Nell
benny started in the chicken bus
mess this year with thirty hens.
He is preparing to double the bus
mess another year. He has a
contract with one Of the New Or
leans hotels to furnish it 1C0|
chickens per day. in the ponds
were ducks and geese, and few
swans. These latter birds fnd a
ready market at $4,000 per pair
for public parks.
While. talking about poultry
this is a good place to mention
that Mr.. McIlhenny has developed
a wonderful poultry feed from
rice mill screenings. Running
them through a series of tanning
mills, the dirt is first eliminated,
then the weed seeds, then the
broken rice. The broken rice and
weed seeds are then mixed in diff
ferent proportions according to
the age and character of the birds
to be fed.
Conducted by our host through
the grounds to his residence, we
were shown bamboos which make

four hours and attain a height of

New Iberia and Iberia Parish is
being given considerable public
ity in periodicals outside the
State of Louisiana because Of the
activities of the Chamber Of Com.
merce for the past few months
along that line.
The latest periodical to give
New Iberia bit of publicity is
the Southern Ruralist, a farming
journal published in Atlanta, Ga
This periodical has a circulation
of over 100000, which means that
nearly a million readers will be
given an idea of the Evangeline
country.
Major w. L. Glessner, field
representative of the Southern
Ruralist, visited New iberia dur
ing the demonstration at the
Demonstration Farm on "Beef
Cattle Day." as the guest of the
local chamber and the Women s
Council. Following is the article
clipped from the May Is issue of
the Southern Ruralist, which
speaks for itself. It's real ad to

worth while:
In Evangeline Land.
"There is probably no story
which has been more widely read,
and aroused more pathetic inter

Evangeline." It will be re

latter period of the story is laid
in Louisiana, on the banks Of the

True Story Of Evangeline, by
Felix VOORHEES,.
I'm this true story the name of
Emmeline Labiche is given as the
representative of Evangeline, and
Louis Arsenaux as Gabriel. "
They were betrothed before the
deportation of the Arcadians from
Nova Scotia, and in the deporta-
fion were separated-the ship in
which Louis sailed landing its
people at New Orleans, from
whence they proceeded to the
Teche country, where the French
government had given them lands.
The ship in which Emmeline
sailed landed on the coast of
Maryland, where the Arcadians
remained for several years. Hear
ing of their countrymen's settle
ment on the Teche, they determ-
ined to join them, and after al
long and perilous journey over
land and on RATS down the
Tennessee and Mississippi rivers
arrived at the Arcadian settle
ment. There was a joyful reun-
ion of relatives and friends, but
when Emmeline met her betrothed
he informed her that he was mar

she lost her mind and became
harmlessly insane. Her grave is
pointed out in the old burying
ground at st. Martins. This story,

TEACHING HISTORY TO CHILDREN

BY Eva March Tappan, Ph. ID.
AS child, | had profund dislike
for history, and considering that a
history recitation in those days was
hardly more than a struggle to recite
"the lesson" as nearly verbatim as
possible, l am inclined to think that
my childish judgment was very good.
Poor little youngsters that we were.
who had to draw plans of battle
grounds, to learn the numbers killed
and wounded on the opposing sides,
and to recite lengthy lists Of dates,
adjusting it's proper event to each.
We had so little idea of the relative
importance of the events that the
burning of a tiny village by the In
dians seemed to us quite as mo-
mentous as the surrender Of Quebec! !!
A child has little background OF
knowledge. Dates mean nothing to
him; and proper names, II he knows
nothing of their bearers, might just
as well be Greek.
In teaching history to children,
there is just one fact that we can
generally depend upon, and that is
their unfailing interest in people. The
children's librarians say that they
cannot begin to supply the demand
for short, interesting biographies,
stories of people and what they did,
told in simple way. Columbus set
sail from Spain to try to find China, y
will make child listen. "An attempt
was made by Spain to discover China"
will make him wonder how soon he
can get away.
If | were going to teach the his
tory of the United States to boys
and girls of nine or ten, would try
to do it by inducing them to read Sim
pie, picturesque, well-written stories of
the men who have made our country
what it is. Then / would let the chill
dren talk of what they had read and
ask questions about it. Some of these
questions I would answer; some |
would ask them to try to answer for
themselves would say nothing about
exact dates, but | would make four
or five general discoveries and settle
ments, Colonial days and Indian wars,
the Revolution, etc, and put a copy
into every book. There would not be
many stories Of our American heroes
that the children would not soon be
able to put into their proper divisions.
Then if more than one book had been
read I would go through the stories
rapidly in their chronological order,
bringing out any information that the
children might have gathered and oc-
cas:onally adding word to connect
the stories or to make some point
clearer
What would this accomplish? At
the end of the reading the children
would be on good terms with twenty
five or more of the chief actors in
the story of the United States; they
would be well prepared for a real
history" and best of all, they would
look forward to it, not with dread, but
with pleasant anticipation.
