Dear Macbeth: Having read and reread
your own confession that Cedar Rapids har-
bored poet some ten or twelve years back
when you were there cannot refrain from
giving vent to the devilish query which
promptly came to my mind, to wit: why this
unsolicited confession after these long years
under the bushel during which time you were
not even suspicioned, much less charged with
committing the crime which you so foolishy
adnit?' Now somebody (somebody who can
stand the gaf) MIGHT ask you to prove it!
ETEOCLES.
P. S.: Well Mac, 1 guess you have about
all the Greeks with you now but Tonsilitis, and
after what Mark A. did to him you should
worry. And say if had white elephant on
my hands or one of any other color for that
matter, I'd take it and the guy that started
this thing and go into the ivory business.
ETEO.
SOME contributions we edit; others we
don't. Those from Eteocles are in the latter
class, because Eteocles takes a gentle slam at
timed and always land, but he often drops his
guard Will the class in English please rise
and inform him that there is such verb as
'suSpiciOned"?

PTOMAiNE POISONING OF CHICK
EMS is PREVALENT DUR
ING THE SUMNER

If any of your chickens have dark
ened combs, dropping wings and
feathers, and relaxed nerves which
causes them to stagger and lose CON
troll of their head and neck( they are
affected with ptomaine poisoning,
which is caused by eating sour or de-
cayed food. according to r. C. Blake,
professor of poultry husbandry of the
Florida College of Agriculture
This is the season of the year when
this disease is very prevalent, says
Professor Blake. 1t has been wrongly
called chicken cholera, but genuine
fowl ehoiesa is very rare in this coun-
try.
The cause Of this so-called "chick-
en- cholera" or ptomaine poisoning,
is traced to the condition OF the grain
and mash in the hoppers, Grain
which has been wet, and allowed to
stand in the hot sun quickly ferments.
and any fowl eating this sour grain
becomes seriously i'll and death US
ually follows.
"An ounce of prevention" is the
only satisfactory cure. Keep the dry
mash hoppers clean. and do not leave
any uneaten grain to spoil, or feed
sour and moldy feed. Once bird is
affected there is no positive cure.
However, if the symptoms are recog-
nized in the early stages, give 1 ca
spoonful Of castor oil to each affiict-
ed bird This may be useful in try
ing to save valuable Individuals

TABLOID FLORIDA HISTORY

Preparations are being made to ded-

the site Of the Major Dade massacre.
little over two and a half miles
southwest of Bushnell, in Sumter
county. An elaborate program has
been prepared, including addresses by
Governor Hardee, Judge c. B. Park
hill of Tampa and Hon Fred Cubber-
ly of Gainesville.
The monument is being erected on
the exact spot where the massacre
took place on December %, 1885, the
sad event that precipitated the last of
the Seminole wars-the last and the
longest.
The state of Florida purchased
eighty acres OF the land including and
surrounding the spot where the 1O7
men. comprising all but two of Major
Dade's command, were slaughtered.
They had departed from Fort Brooke,
Tampa Bay, five days before the am
buscade while on a march to Fort
King (Ocala) and were but single
days journey from their destination.
1t was through the efforts of Hon.
j. G. B. Koonce that the appropriation
was secured from the legislature to

that the fatal shot was from the rife

the king of the Seminoles.
For two months the bodies OF the
slain soldiers lay as they fell. The
