Lice, Red Mites and How to
Exterrninate Them

BY ] W. KELLER, Eminent Poultry Expert

Many poor egg records and I'M
.hritty and Improbable flocks in the
aands OF beginners can be explained
~ the presence of lice and mites on
the fowls
1t may be truly and safely said
hat fowls are scarcely ever wholly
tree from 9ermin, and while in small
numbers they do small damage, they
are rapid multipliers and unless their
Increase is periodically checked they
win become so numerous that in a
short time they are liable to cause
serious inroads in the profit the poul-
try keeper hopes to make from his
flock
A man may start in the poultry
business with everything new and
clean but it is only > short time I'M
I'll the pests are there. The beginner
n poultry raising should remember
that every adult fowl is mere or less
subject to body lice and should not
datter himself that his fowls are free
from them. II is a good rule to treat
every fowl with suspicion and ex-
anime it carefully for lice as they
tre almost certain to be present in
0rcs when least suspected.
While there are a number OF differ
aat kinds OF mites and lice which
prey Oh domestic fowls, they may
IS far as chickens are concerned, be
lvided into two main classes-(1),
the red mites or lice, which infect

| and nesting under the fluffy feathers

The red mite, so-called because
when full of blood it is red and more
easily seen than when in the gray
mpty state, is no doubt the most
arInful poultry enemy. The mite
)reys on the birds largely at night
It lays its eggs in the deepest and

TAKE QUININE AS
MALARIA PREVENTIVE
DR.. Payne Advises Use of Spe-
cific in Connection With Anti
Mosquito Campaign

DIR. w. ]. Payne, county health
commissioner today issued state
ment in which he urges the use of
quinine as a malaria preventive in
connection with the campaign to
eliminate mosquitoes in Sumter
county.
"The health department" said
DR.. Payne, appreciates the coop
Grafton given them by the public
in our anti-mosquito and malaria
campaign with the result that we
are having very few mosquitoes and
decided decrease in the malaria
situation as compared with other
years up to the present time.
eve know that there has been
large quantity of quinine taken
up to date but as the main season
for actual chills and fever is just
beginning, we want to renew our
efforts with reference to first mos
quito eradication.
During the recent rains the
mosquitoes would not breed so
rapidly with fresh water being add
ed almost every day, but since we
are not having these daily showers,
allowing the same Water to stand,
it is much more favorable 70 breed
ing, and let's everybody look around
our houses for water standing in
tin cans, watering troughs, old au-
tomobile tires, vessels where chick
ems are watered, open wells, cutters
on top of and around the houses,
wash tubs and pots, especially where
water is left from. one week to
another.
"Where malraia mosquitoes are
breeding in ponds in flight range
of your residence, of course the
best thing to do is to drain, but
where this is impractical Just at
this time, the next best thing to dc
is screen your house with not less
than sixteen meshes to the inch
For those who have malaria in their
system whether you are having
chills or not, if you will take five
grains of quinine every other day
t will not cause any unpleasant
effect nor will it cure the malaria
which is in your system, but it viii
keep you from developing chills and
fever.
Il think this will be especially
effective among tenant for it is {
hard matter to get them to take
medicine in sufficient ouantitie,
and over a sufficient length OF
tine to cure them, but if you car
get them to take as much as &c
grains of quinine a week they will
not go in with chills and fever ano
will be able to gather crop this
fall.
''Take quinine as a preventative
as well as cure, whether you have
malaria or not"

CONFISCATED OPIUM
SOLD AS DOPE CURE

ANKING, China, July 31.-The
Magistrate of Chinyangsisn recently
confiscated large stores of opium
IN his bailiwick, and his praise were
sung far and wide by the people of
The province. They had been con-,
PEELED by force to cultivate the
poppy and subjected to heavy fines
and taxation, and they believed the
magistrate was seeking their wei
fare.
Subsequently the magistrate nut
on the market some pills which he
advertised as cure for the opium
habit. For this he received renewed
plaudits and his pill business pros.
pered.
Then it was discovered that all
the fines collected for trafficking
IN opium went into the nagistrat1's
pocket and that he used the cor.
1lseated drug to make his 'anti.
opium" pills As punishment when
the authorities learned of his double
dealing he was warned to take his
pills off the market.

TAG FRAUDS
INVOLVE TWO MEN
Prosecutions May Follow Efforts
Of Georgians to Cheat Motor
Vehicle Department

ATLANTA, July 31.-You can't
cheat the motor vehicle department
of Georgia and get away with it.
"Be sure your sins will find you
out" in this, as in most everything
else. Witness:
Two very grave matters of Grim
inal conduct have just come to the
attention of the Secretary of the
State, who has referred them to the
Governor as Chief Executive. One
was a case where man made af-
fidavit that he had lost his auto tag,
sent his application for a duplicates
to the Secretary's office, and as the
records showed that the tag he
claimed to have lost had really been
issued to him, a duplicate was sent
through the mail.
1t developed later that this man
had not lost his tag at all, but had
simply sworn falsely to get new
tag for $1.00, and this tag was sold
to neighbor for $500. This, it
was pointed out by state official, is
a clear case Of false swearing, and
this crime is a felony under the
laws of Georgia, punishable in the
penitentiary.
The other was a case where a
man had made application for a
duplicate tag, giving the number of
tag on a neighbours car The
application, being irregular, was
sent to the real owner of the tag,
and he was dumbfounded when he
was notified by the Secretary's Of
ce that he had made application for
a duplicate tag.
It appeared that the real own
er had not lost his tag and had not
made application for a duplicate,
but the fraudulent application was
made by a man in his county, his
name forged to the application, wit
messed by a justice of the peace
who knew the facts, and for his at
testing the bogus application the
justice of the peace was paid So.
The real owner of the tag wrote
the Secretary's office a full history
of the case, giving the names of
the persons involved.
Both Of the cases, it was learn
ed at the state capitol today, have
been called to the attention of the
Governor, so that the solicitors gen
eral Of the respective circuits may
prosecute the guilty parties.

MANY PERSONS ARE
GRADING TOBACCO

VALDOSTA, July 31.-in the
various storage warehouses of the
city large numbers of people are
at work grading the tobacco ard
getting it ready for the opening Of
the market. Altogether perhaps
two hundred men and women are
now employed in this work. This
indicates that a considerable por-
ton of the tobacco crop VIII be
placed on sale in an orderly man
ner and each grade allowed to sell
on its own merits. The storage
warehouses are busy places while
this work is going on.

COURTHOUSE AT
DALLAS BURNED

DALLAS, July 81.-The court
house here, said to be The oldest
public building in this community,
was practically destroyed by flames
recently of unknown origin. Pract;-
cally every room ON the first floor
was Quilted entailing mucL loss. The
building building was erected in the year
1897 and is siad to be one of the
oldest buildings in this part of tie
state For the past thirty years the

a Masonic club room. Loss was
partially covered by insurance.

John Ainsley, man of education
and breeding, becomes a master
crook-preying upon other thieves.
In arranging with a fence" to DIS
pose of a box of jewels which he
stole from the White Eagle, a
crook, Ainsley is overheard oy
Swede Thomassen "a murderer in
hiding.
Thomassen comes to Ainsley's
apartment and demands half of the
jewels. He makes himself complete
ly at home in Ainsley's apartment
and waits for the money Ainsley
telephones the White Eagle, telling
him that the man who robbed him
and partner will be dividing the
jewels at 8 o'clock in his-Ainsleys
apartment. Then he tries to hold
Thomassen in his apartment, until
the White Eagle arrives.
NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
And Thomassen was shrewd
enough to realize that any attack
upon me would be better deferred
until just as he was leaving. My
servant, despite my instructions to
her, might come to the apartment.
