Man that is born Of woman is small
potatoes and few in a hill. He rises
up today and flourisheth like q rag
weed and tomorrow or next day the
undertaken hath him. He goeth forth
in the morning warbling like a lark
and is knocked out in n round and
two seconds.
In the midst of his life he is in debt
and the tax collector pursues him
wherever he goeth. The bannister of
life is full of splinters and he slideth
down with considerable rapidity. He
walketh forth in the bright sunlight,
to absorb the ozone and meeteth the
hank teller with a sight draft for
1857.
He cometh home at eventide and
meeteth the wheelbarrow in his path.
It riseth up and smiteth him to the
earth and falleth upon him, and run
meth of its legs into his ear. In
the gentle spring time he putteth on
his summer clothes, and q blizzard
striketh him far from home and filleth
him with cuss words and rheumatism.
In the winter he putteth on winter
trousers and a wasp that abideth
therein causes excitement. He start
9TH down into the cellar with an OLE
ander and goeth backward and the
oieander cometh after him and sit
teth upon him.
He buyeth a watch dog and when
he cometh from the lodge the watch
log treeth him, and stitch uear him
until rosy morn. He goeth to the
horse trot and betteth his money on
the brown mare, and the bay geld
inc with a blaze face winneth.
He marrieth a red-headed heiress
with a wart on her nose, and the next
day the parent ancestor goeth under
with a fee arrest and great liabilities
and cometh home to live with his be-
loved son-inlaw.

Here Is Right Feed For Baby Chicks

SASA
The feed for baby chicks which has
been used with success by the poul-
try department of the Mississippi A.
and NJ. College, is according to Prof.
z. P. Clayton, head of this work,
composed of infertile eggs, boiled
hard, rolled oats and charcoal as fol-
lows:
One hard-boiled egg; n tea-cup
heaping full of breakfast rolled oats
and one tablespoonful of finely pull
verified charcoal.
Be sure to use the charcoal since
t is very necessary to the health of
the chick. Feed this mixture for ten
days to two weeks and then gradu-
ally change it the following dry mash
and grain feed: dry mash, rolled
oats, 2 parts; corn meal, 2 parts
wheat bran, 2 parts; bone meal, II
part; charcoal. IA part; and fine
grit, Is part.
Mix well and keep in small hop
pers before them all the time and
three times a day feed small quaint
ties Of small chicken feed or finely
cracked corn or wheat. Keep their
quarters clean, keep plenty of fresh
water in clean vessels and they
should grow we'll on this ration. Give
them milk to drink.
Prof. Clayton will be glad to furn-
ish free of charge information on how
to brood chickens, how to operate an
incubator, or to send blue prints OF
the types Of coops.

NEW YORK. August 20.-John J.
McGraw, manager of the New York

Graw also has been questioned by fed
eral prohibition enforcement agents con-
erning his alleged admission that he

According to McGraw's attorney, the
base ball man, who has HIMSELF been
confined to the house with scalp

in progress all this week, the repre-

ing so cents for a haircut and 20
cents for a shave, while others are

To prevent a break in their ranks.
due to the efforts of certain BARRIERS
to increase the prices. it was decided
to canvass all union shops and as
certain the attitude of the BARRIERS
on the question. If a majority of
the union bdrbers desire the in
crease 1t will be granted according
ly, a prominent member of one
union said today. On the other hand,
II 1t is learned that a majority of
the men are opposed to any in
crease the price will be standardized
at 40 cents for a haircut and 20
cents for a shave.

OF the BARRIERS in those sections favor
the increase. despite the fact that their

SAID that the BARRIERS were making "a
good living at the present rates" The

This barber also stated that during
the last six months many persons who
patronizd the barber shops to get
shaved have purchased razors He
said he knew one cutlery dealer whose
sales OF raZorS had increased about 100
per cent during the last six months.

ENGLAND ADOPTS BAD BOY"
PUNISHMENT TO "GROWN-UPS'

There's an old, old cure for smok-
ing known to all wise parents of
little boys who think they are grown
up before they really are. 1t con-
sists in letting the youngster smoke,
then making him smoke. then keeping
him putting until the tobacco gets the
best of him and he becomes a very,
very sick little boy-a little boy who
never wants to look a cigar or cigar
cite in the face again.
Working on the same theory. Eng

ing death from wood alcohol drink
ing by placing in the liquid some in
gredient which makes the imbiber
so nauseated and sick he cannot pos
sibly drink enough to hurt himself.
A recently passed law requires that
wood alcohol or pyro or methylated
spirit, must be made SO nauseous
when manufactured that blending
with other ingredients fails to change
the taste. In England. it is stated,

alcohol, thus preventing the many
deaths which occur in this country
when the unfortunate person drinks

"kick" from wood alcohol.
1t has been found that the drinker
often is not aware of his having
taken wood alcohol until it is too
late to remedy the danger. The eff

a few hours the alcohol has gone from
the stomach into the blood, then car

wrought.
Immediate notification of his hav-

medical treatment, which would save
