White Woman 30 Years Gone Native
 Loved By Liberian Negro Tribesmen

Paris, Sept. F UP)-Amid the humping of. drums in the devil bush of tribal camp Ceep in the for ests of Liberia, Ma" Brown, 55 widow of Canadian missionary. q white woman who for 30 years has been married to black chief of an African tribe, has been knightcd by the Liberian government for su- preme bravery.
 Ma" Brown went native upon the death of her husband. She has four children by her black hus- band. and around her hut now tod dle her grandchildren, many of them blondc-haired and almost white.
 Resorts 10 Witchcry
 To the tribe, Ma" Brown has been a loyal and faithful medicine man." curing ills more by her knowledge of the curative powers of plants and drugs than hy evil nut tcrings, although at times she does resort to Witchcry. She is feared by the superstitious natives and reigns almost as queen over thousands Of blacks.
 Since the American rubber inter- ests moved into Liberia to plant 1,000,00O acres with rubber trees, Ma" Brown has grown fortunate. She started a general store, and caters in fruits, fowl and fresh bread for the Americans clearing the forest with thousands of work CTS.
 Ma" was knighted for saving the Liberian army from almost certain extinction in a forest ambush. The army had as it's mission the sub jugation of one Of the smaller tribes which refused to send men for contract labor work in a Portu- guesc colony at the instructions of the government.
 As the army moved through the forest, the tribe deployed in ambush. Ma" Brown ran ahead, argued the rebels out of their position and say ed the army. She took her knight hood philosophically and announced that she did not intend 10 become Lady, Brown, but would remain Ma"
 Grows Fat In Forest
 Despite 80 years in the tropical forest she has kept her English and its Canadian accent She has re- ceived newspapers and can converse intelligently on world problems. She mas grown large and round, but not lazy, under the blistering sun of the equator. She never adopted native undress, but chung to her ginghams and wears large, flowing, roomy mother The gingham she has sent in from a London depart mont store and ifs arrival is timed annually to correspond to Easter.
 Ma" Brown has no regret at the turn her life has taken. She has never been back to Canada since she married her black husband, and she has no desige to go. She knows the ways of the modern world and con- tends that she could raise her daughters better in Liberia than in America.
 Several times she has been near death. Once knife was at her throat, but she threw off her at tackers by witchcTaft.
 Threat Worked Well
 You can never kill me; I will come back and plague your cattle, burn your crops and slay your Wives,' she cried, and the knife dropped as her frightened attacker fell on his knees and begged for mercy. From that time on she used witchcraft often.
 Ma" Brown ranks high in the esteem of the government and the

diseases known to be incurable.
A well protected coop, box or pen,
apart from the flock is very neces-
sary in which to place the sick
fowls. Sick chickens placed in such
quarters can be watched. If they
develop unmistakable signs of dis
eases known to be incurable, kill
them.
My many experiments during the
past several years have proven to
me that Permanganate of Potash,
the medicine that turns water a
reddish purple color, is of little or
no value in preventing or curing
diseases of poultry, when used in the
drinking water in the regular way.
But, find EPSON Salts very bene-
fetal in preventing and curing many
diseases of poultry. Each sick fowl
should be given one teaspoonful OF
EPSON Salts, or for flock treatment,
one pound mixed with a small tempt
ing wed mash feed for each 11OO
hens.
Sanitation and disinfecting are
two of the great secrets of success
full poultry raising. Poultry houses
and brooder rooms should be thor
oughly cleaned often, and sprayed
freely with a good dip and disin-
fectant. Properly built chicken
houses with high open fronts that
face the south, that are kept clean
and free from insects by spraying
with a good dip and disinfectant
will do more to keep fowls healthy
than anything.
In many cases a cure is possible
with simple home remedies as easily
as the flannel rag
soaked with camphorated oil on
baby's chest when he has a cold.
any druggist or feed
merchant carries reliable prepara-
tions for the treatment of practically
every poultry disease that is amen
able to medication. Such medicines
are always accompanied by simple,
instructions, not only for
the dosing of the feathered patients
hut for the general care needed TO
make treatment successful. why
then let them die or deliberately kill
them off when they can be easily
cured. 4,,o+
Poultry raising is business that
IS or should be run for profit. II is
for the poultry raiser to determine
therefore. whether or not any lndl-
yidual cure will justify the labor
md expense necessary to erect a |
,nre 1t is unquestionably true |
1owever that many fowls are need |
esslv sacrificed when a little extra
.rouble would be repaid many times
,ver. Don't forget that every fowl
n your flock represents an invest
nent of both time and money. You
'hrow that away in addition to sac
'ifcing possible future profits every
ime a bird is subjected to the get
he axe" cure if less drastic methods
would have saved it.

The wife of a friend of mine tells
with great relish of waking up not
long ago and finding him in the
throes of a violent nightmare. He
was struggling desperately against
some imaginary assailant and shout
ing at the top Of his voice, MONO
no! Don't! tell you it's toothache!"
Being finally rou1ed up and pressed
for an explanation, he admitted
rather sheepishly that he had
dreamed a huge rooster had him
penned up and was preparing to cut
his throat with his sharp spurs
because he looked so droopy and
had a huge swelling on his jaw. Not
wishing to lose this advantage,
friend wife at OF reopened an ar
gument that had been waging for
months between them-''serve You
right if it really happened" she
snapped. ANY ran who is too lazy
to save birds that could be saved
with just a little trouble ought to
have to take his own medicine"
Sometimes I feel much the same
way about it, for chickens are much
more than a mere hobby with me.
But aside from all such sentimental
considerations as might influence
the enthusiast, there are some good
sound reasons why it is unwise to
resort to the axe every time chick
en- begins to show signs of some
more or less serious affiiction. For
one thing, the first examination
doesn't always tell the whole story.
Not every sniffie spells roup nor is
every droopy, dispirited fowl infest-
ed with worms to an incurable de-
gree.
All sick fowls, no matter what
their ailment, should be removed at
once from the flock and either killed
or doctored. Chickens can be cured
as well as live stock, or people,
when sick, and 1 believe in individ-
ual treatment in most cases. have
been doctoring poultry diseases on
my experimental farm for more than
20 years and have had excellent re-
suits except in the incurable all
