GENERAL CLINIC FOR THE
POOR

In this clinic we treat all diseases
and conditions that 1t Is possible to
handle in a general public clinic.
During June. we gave total OF 50
examinations and medical treatments.
We also gave 10 treatments to pa
tients at the City Aims House. Many
of these poor patients were visited
at their homes both by our doctor and
nurse. | venture to say that no city
in the state is providing better medical
care for its poor, than Alexandria, and
| think it should be proud that such
is the case.
| consider this very important
work Of the Health Department.
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
A total of 46 investigation, instruc-
tive and nursing visits were made by
our nurse during June. On account Of
our general freedom from communi-
cable diseases. her work has not been
so extensive as it might otherwise have
been. But we are very thankful for
this, | am sure. Twenty-four after
moons were spent at our various elm
les, and we can always find useful
work for her to do.
GENERAL REMARKS
Since the organization of this
Health Department in July, 1919, it
has been my aim to do real construc-
tive and practical work for the general
public good. We do not attempt to
theorize or try our fads or fancies.
We deal with the practical side Of dis
ease prevention. Has our work been
effective and have we secured results
during the past three years our de-
partment has been working? For

BY means of certain photo
graphs in connection with the
spectroscope at Mount Wilson, It
has been discovered that nebulas
previously thought to be gaseous
matter are in many instances deh-
mite suns, and their number IS es-
timated at three billion. As the
astronomer in charge OF the work.
states: If these suns had the
same origin as our sun they would
necessarily have planets revolving
about them. Our sun has eight
planets. But their planets would
be so far away as to be lost in the
glare and it would be hopeless to
try to see them 1t is also claimed
that these photographs have con-
founded present scientific theories
by reducing the number OF posi-
bly, inhabited worlds to two.

ASTRONOMERS STARTLED

We have heretofore remarked
in these columns that the wonders
of science will never cease. That
spiritual laws are as old as Time
itself. but that Man is discovering
new laws Of Nature almost daily.
The latest scientific discoveries arc
in the realm OF astronomy. Atar
off in the lonely solitudeS OF the
Lofty Sierra Madre mountains IN
California is located the world 5
greatest telescope. And there
amidst the SilenceS OF eternity and
solar space, human beings today
are engaged in unrayelling the
mysteries of the stellar skies. But
while the old Hebrew prophets had
neither observatory nor telescope,
they knew-they knc5,-that be-
yond the illimitable cXpanse of the
starry ether, dwelt the one and
only Supreme Spirit that ruled
them all. The hcagcHy declare the
glory of God and the ornament
SIicsrch His handiacork. This,
to our mind. is more important to
mankind than all the discoveries
of Science from their day to ours.

HENS MAY SAVE AMERICA

Some prominent bankers and BUSH
ness men have recently stated that
the profit from hens had been the
salvation Of American farmers.
Miller Purvis, in the Breeders Ga
zette, says: at would not frighten
me at all to be deprived of all | have
if l had only 100 hens to begin over
with. | would have food and clothes
and bank account before the end Of
two years. | would not live sumptu-
ously, but I would not miss meal,
nor lack clothing" We are sure Mr..
Purvis would feed these 100 hens
Quisenberry's Buttermilk Laying
Mash. Three pounds of this feed
with other particles of food the hena
pick up, will make one dozen eggs.
Hens fed scratch grain alone be-
come overly fat and will not lay.
Quisenberry Buttermilk Laying Mash
is guaranteed to practically double
your egg yield. With this mash poul-
try raisers get an average OF two
hundred eggs per hen a year, and
many hens have made records Of over
three hundred eggs a year on the
same feed. This feed ALSO stQEsA
vitality in the hen and in the egg.
Prevents dead chicks in the shell, and
insures fertility and big matches.
The Quisenberry Buttermilk Chick
Starting Food will save loss of chicks
at Matching time, prevent diarrhea,
and insure rapid growth. No other
feed equals it in results, regardless Of
make or price. This we guarantee.
Buy one hundred pounds Of But

we give free feeders with each sack.
We guarantee more eggs if you feed
according to directions and give hens
proper care. Call at Whitlock-Lines,

A JUDICIOUS INQUIRY

A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade, says he has
often heard druggists ask a custo-
mer, who wished to buy a cough medi-
cine, whether it was for a child or an
adult and if for child, they almost
invariably recommended Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. The reason for
this is that they know there is no
danger from it and that it always
cures. There is not the least danger
in giving it and for colds, Group and
whooping cough it is unsurpassed.
