SMILE FOR SMILE
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

yEyE CAN'T be merry all the day,
Wv but If a friend should come
your way
With smiling face and happy air,
Whatever load you have to bear,
What sort of sorrow for awhile,
hope you give him smile for smilet
Now, much is said about the need.
OF bringing cheer to hearts that bleed
And bringing JOY to souls that weep;
But there's another faith to keep,
There's something for the sad to do
To smile at folks who smile at you!
So when they come, as come they will.
To speak of good in time of i'll,
To speak of blessings, too, no doubt,
Perhaps you had forgot about
When joy comes knocking, night or
day,
Run out to meet it half the wayl
Yes. there's duty for the sad,
When good folks come to make you
glad,
And that's to grin, and show your
grit,
And cheer yourself little bit.
At least this much you ought to do
To smile at folks who smile at you.

Danger of Bloating to
Horses Put on Alfalfa

Most farmers keep horses off of al
falfa pasture because of danger of
bloating. AS to cattle, many people
pasture them On alfalfa constantly
and seem to have little trouble How
ever, many cases of bloating are re-
ported each year, and it is well to
take few precautions when pastur-
Ing this wonderful plant. When start
ing cattle on 1t they should be turned
In when they are full of grain and hay,
so that they won't gorge themselves
on alfalfa at the start Then you may
leave them on the pasture continu-
ously Some people take the cows off
the alfalfa when dew or rain is on it,
but others do not and they seem to get
along all right. If an animal does
bloat there Is no occasion to become
alarmed. Give her a quart of water
in which has been added one-half
ounce Of formalin. Then put a wooden
"bit" in her mouth and fashion some
sort of bride to hold it there. After
the cow has recovered a second
drench, composed Of one pound of ep-
som salts and a half ounce of ground
ginger In one pint of tepid water,
should be administered

His Wife's Tongue Made Him
a Pirate

TN THE early part Of the Eighteenth
1 century there lived on the island
OF Barbados a retired British army
officer named Maj. Stede Bonnet. A
man of good birth, education and some
wealth, he was highly respected by
his neighbors and there apparently
was no reason whatever for his ac-
ton when, In the spring Of 1717, he
decided to become pirate. But his
tory, that Industrious gossip, says
there was reason and that reason
was Dame Bonnet. She, so it is said,
had tongue which would have made
Xantippe stand silent in awe. SO be-
tween piracy and petulance, the major
chose piracy.
He purchased a swift schooner,
forth upon what was supposed to be
trading voyage. A few days out
from port, he hoisted the black flag
and announced to his crew that they
were to be pirates.
From the Carolinas to Massa-
chusetts the new pirate leader muir
dered and robbed and he is one of
the few pirates who is known to have
forced his captives to walk the plank.
On one occasion he fell in with the
pirate Blackboard, who noticed that
Bonnet was only an amateur pirate
and Inundated him by depriving him
of his command and making him q
clerk.
Soon afterwards while Blackboard
was absent Bonnet went to Gov. Eden
of North Carolina, surrendered and
received pardon. Then he announced
that he was going to get commits
sion as privateer and ravage the
French and Spanish shipping in the
West Indies: He got crew by go
ing to the island where Blackboard
had marooned some Of his men, took
them off and told them that he was
going to seek out Blackboard and have
revenge. He failed to find the famous
pirate. so he sailed away to the North.
On this cruise he changed the name
of his vessel to the Royal James
doubtful compliment to the Young
Pretender-and himself took the name
of Captain Thomas. After looting
number Of vessels off the Middle At
lantic coast Bonnet again turned
south, only to find that the Carolinas
were aroused against him. A promi-
nent citizen of South Carolina named
William Rhett led an expedition in
two ships against the pirate leader
and after one Of the bloodiest bat
ties ever fought between pirates and
the forces of the law, Rhett captured
Bonnet and took him to Charles Town
to be tried. Bonnet made the most
abject, cowardly plea for mercy, but
he was found guilty and sentenced to
be hanged. He managed to escape
from prison but was again captured
on Sullivan's island by Rhett. He
died in Execution dock, Nov. "a, 171S.

SPRING TONES

CPRING is the season of universal
- awakening. The seeds and bulbs
begin to sprout. The sap starts in the
trees, the buds begin to appear on the
branches. The animals which have
hibernated during the winter come out
of their holes. The birds return and
begin to look for places to build their
nests for their new families Natural
ly, man thinks that he, too, should
have place in this awakening to a
season of new life and activity.
For many centuries, it was general
ly believed that in the spring every
one needed Spring tonic" Some
thing to "thin the blood" which was
supposed to have become thick and
sluggish during the winter So the
"yarb" doctors, as soon as the new
vegetation appeared, went out in the
fields and woods to gather leaves,
barks and shoots for their 'simples,"
as their brews were called.
Here was where wise women and
the housewives were in their element.
Some of us can remember the days
when our old grandmothers made sas-
safrass tea or birch beer and gave it
to their families in liberal doses. Even
in the large cities today, one of the
first signs of spring is the appearance
on the streets of old men with their
baskets of sassafras bark.
Those who had no opportunity to
gather these natural remedies" or
who didn't know how to select them,
fell back on that familiar household
remedy which, as boys, we all detest-
ed-sulphur and molasses. Some of
US in our early days were so dosed
with this mixture that for weeks we
were afraid to scratch our heads.
These beliefs were not surprising,
when we consider that for centuries
the best medical opinions were much
along the same lines.
Like many old beliefs, there was
something after all, in the old notions.
During the winter we have most of us
stayed indoors too much, we have
worn too heavy and too much cloth
ing, we haven't had enough fresh air
and sunlight. We do need a spring
tonic but not one out of bottles.
The best and the cheapest spring
tonic we can take is green vegetables
and fresh fruits. Fresh rhubarb sauce
is worth dozen bottles of medicine
Green food, in the form of cabbage.
spinach, beet tops, chard, celery, let
tuce, green onions and radishes will
do us more good than drugs and pills.
Fresh fruits are now plentiful, prac-
tically all the year round. Apples, figs,
oranges, grapefruit and lemons, have
the fruit acid our body needs
Then there is the wild, warm, spring
air and the spring breezes and sun
shine. All of them are good for what
ails you after the long winter.

FARM 81
s I IlE.s.k -
TUBERCULOSIS is
BEING REDUCED

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Carrying the campaign of eradfcat-
Ing animal tuberculosis to areas where
it Is very strongly intrenched is one OF
the newer developments In the nation
wide program to rout the disease.
A survey just completed by the bureau
of animal industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, shows the
aggressive action taken by many coun-
ties.
The eradication of tuberculosis I'M
der the "area" plan is now being con-
Quoted In "a Of the 90 counties hav-
ing more than Is per cent of tuber-
culosis infection among cattle, and In
81 of 165 counties containing cattle
that are tuberculous to the extent of
more than per cent but not more
than Is per cent. Thus about one
third of the most badly infected coun-
ties have eradication work under way.
Two of the counties, formerly very
seriously affected, have already re-
duced the infection to 05 per cent or
less and are in the modified accred-
tied area" class.
There are 241 counties in the coun-
try where tuberculosis among cattle
exists to the extent of more than 3
per cent and up to z per cent. OF
these counties SO are conducting area
work to eradicate the disease and 8
of them already have qualified as mod
fled accredited areas. The work is
also going forward rapidly in the more
lightly infested areas where sentiment
strongly favors graduating the dis
ease before 1t becomes more serious.
At the beginning of 1926 the list OF
modified accredited areas totaled 149
counties, thus indicating excellent
progress toward the conquest Of dis
ease.

A Plaything of Fate

EATE must have been In a playful
= mood when Captain Greaves was
born. Fate drove him into piracy, but
could not make him fit into the pic
ture Of the regulation type of pirate,
| for he was too kind Of heart. Fate
condemned him to pirates death,
then, saved him by miracle.
He was the son Of slave in Bar
bados, one of the thousands of
! Scotch and Irish who were sent there
by Cromwell during the Civil war In
England. Because of their bare knees,
these slaves were called Red Legs and
Captain Greaves is often spoken of
as "alias Red Legs" His master was
kind and gave him a good education.
When this master died the boy was sold
to another-a cruel one.
He Immediately ran away, swan
across Carlisle bay, but unfortunately
climbed upon the wrong ship and
found himself in the clutches of Cap
tain Hawkins, a VIGOROUSLY cruel pi-
rate. So Greaves unwillingly became
a pirate and quickly rose to eminence
In the profession, although he was re-
markable for his refusal to torture
prisoners or kill unnecessarily. This
led to a duel between him and Cap
tain Hawkins, in which he was vic
torious. and was elected captain.
He now entered upon a career of
almost unparalleled success as a pi-
rate, eliminating in his capture of the
island of Margarita, off the coast of
Venezuela. He did this by capturing
the Spanish feet, turning the guns Of
the fleet upon the forts defending the
principal city and then storming them.
From this town he obtained a huge
booty Of pearls and gold.
Red Legs then retired to the life of
a respectable planter on the island of
Nevis. One day he was visited by an
old pirate friend, who denounced him
to the authorities. He was thrown
into a dungeon to await execution. In
1850 there came great earthquake,
which destroyed and submerged the
town and Greaves was one Of the few
survivors. He was picked up by
whaling vessel, on which he soon won
the praise of the captain by his skill
as seaman. More than that queer
turn of fate won him even greater
honor by his assistance in capturing
gang of pirates, and for this feat
he was given pardon.
Then he retired once more to his
plantation, and there he lived out the
remaining years of his life, greatly
honored for his many acts of piety and
gifts to charitable institutions.

How 1t Started
"CRESTFALLEN"
By JEAN NEWTON

THIS is word popularity used In
i common speech to indicate dejec-
ton, to describe one In dispirited
mood. The term comes to us from
the parlance Of the barnyard. For
while the crest which gave the word
its origin is correctly the upper part
of the head of any bird or animal, it
Is associated particularly with the
comb of the cock VINO struts animated
ly about poultry domain.
Frequenters of the barnyard know
that when life goes hard with the
cock his crest, which at other times
protrudes proudly up into the air, is
seen to fall dejectedly. This might
be said, like the wagging or dropping
tail on the part of the dog, to be his
medium Of self-expression.
The aptness of the term Crest
fallen" In its figurative use for per-
son who is dispirited and aggrieved
can hardly be questioned.

Bicarbonate of Soda Is
Efficient as Corrective

Bicarbonate of soda has often been
suggested as an efficient corrective Of
sundry young lamb troubles. When
bought by the keg or from the drug
gist who confesses 1t is cheap by the
keg, any farmer can afford to use 1t,
says writer in the Ohio Farmer.
Popularity, in case Of human diges-
.tion, this baking soda is supposed to
be merely an active corrective Of acid
digestion, but here and there one finds
people having long used soda as a
cathartic.
The sheep man who is at all
troubled with constipation Of ewes or
lambs or who loses large lambs in fits
of acute indigestion, or "lamb choI-
era," may well try dash Of soda In
the salt before lambing and quite lib
eral use In salt until the lambs are
well started. The writer had often
used half-and-half mixture of salt
and bicarbonate of soda under such
circumstances.
Laxative feed, of course, Is the RAJ
tional corrective, but all farmers with
sheep cannot always control this fac
tor, much as they might wish 1t.

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of .HEALTH"
ABDOMINAL SICK HEAD
ACHE.

a EVERYBODY knows what sick head
ache is. Even If you are fortu-
nate enough to be free from this dis
agreeable ailment yourself, you prob
ably have some one in your own fam
lily, or at least in your circle Of &C
quaintances who is subject to 1T. A
severe prostrating headache, accompa-
MED by nausea, vomiting and general
prostration coming on periodically and
lasting from several hours to two or
three days, it is one of the most dis
agreeable Affections to which one can
be subjected
There has been much speculation as
to its cause. Eye strain, worry, emo
tional excitement, indiscretions in
diet, heredity, and many other causes
have been held responsible. No one
cause is found in all cases. Each In
dividual sufferer generally has his own
explanation as to what brings on his
attacks.
Physicians call it migraine. 1t is
one of the class of disorders which are
called functional, or as doctors say
sit has no pathology" by which they
mean that they can find no changes in
the body machinery which cause it or
are caused by it. AS is usually the
case in condition, the cause of which
Is not known, there have been in
Vulnerable remedies and methods OF
treatment tried, none of which is Of
benefit in all cases and, in many in
stances, no method of treatment seems
to have any effect.
One of the strange varieties of this
unpleasant affiictien is so-called alb
dominal migraine, in which the pain,
instead of being located in the head,
is felt in the stomach.
These attacks, like ordinary sick
headaches, come on at intervals Of two
or three weeks. Having all the symp-
toms of some serious abdominal con-
dition, they are generally at first con-
fused with ,gallstones or ulcer of the
stomach.
Careful study of these patients has
shown that either the father or the
mother had been constant sufferers
from ordinary sick headache. Often
these attacks begin in early life as
ordinary sick headache, gradually
changing to the abdominal form. In
the abdominal form, as well as in the
ordinary sick headache, nothing has
been found in any case to account
for the attack. The opinion of the
best authorities on nervous diseases
is that sick headache belongs to the
same class as epilepsy, strange dis
order in which certain centers get out
from under control and cause these
strange symptoms In different parts
sf the body.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
MAKING OPPORTUNITY
By F. "A. WALKER

WHATEVER may be the common
Wv belief about opportunity and its
disinclination to knock more than
once at your door, will, if you look
into the matter, be found wholly un-
true.
A plain, cut and dry explanation
concerning the activities of oppor-
tunity disproves its alleged caprices
and its unwillingness to be helpful
to mankind, for 1t Is ever ready to
serve men and women, whether it
knocks at their doors, or is attacked
in the street, and made to stand and
deliver by the mere force of smile.
Alas for the man who does not
recognize opportunity when he meets
it, which may be dozen times a
day while he Is bemoaning his lot or
lamenting his fate.
He founders and pants through
mazes of doubt and despair, when,
if he would sit down a while and
take stock Of his surroundings, he
would probably find that opportunity
had been playing hide and seek with
him all day, and wondering why he
was SO blind.
Tried as you may be by the squalls
and cross-currents, opportunity is
often sitting beside you waiting for a
friendly nod, or good, old-fashioned
handshake.
1t suspects your aspirations and
knows your shortcomings. 1t knows,
too, yoNr inward resolution, your
weakness, lack of faith and hope, and
would at the slightest hint rush to
your assistance.
"Well, when?" you may ask Gym
ically.
Fright now" comes back the reply,
but you must do your part and play
the. man in doing it."
Stick flower In the lapel Of your
threadbare coat, draw in your chin,
puff out your breast, inhale the life
giving morning air and walk like a
supercilious drill-master, and oppor-
tunity will give you a snappy salute
Never drag your feet, wear woe
begone expression, nor let the crowd
trample you down. Never admit de-
feat.
Make friends with faith and cheer
fulness. Pursue this course from the
moment you open your eyes in the
morning, and you will find before
night that opportunity has been wait
ing for you in places you had here
tofore labeled impossible"
Opportunity is yours whenever
you may elect to accept it, notwith-
standing all the time-worn sayings to
the contrary
