HAD LITTLE FEAR OF GERMS
Small Girl Bestowed Candy Cat In In
tended Destination When Its
Beauty Was Gone.
Speaking of children at a social func
tion William Dean Howells told of a
man who called on an acquaintance
some time since and found the little
daughter of tho house playing with a
candy cat.
"That Is a very nice little cat you
have there,” smiled the caller. “Are
you going to eat It?”
"No, sir,” answered the youngster,
affectionately stroking the cat with
her little hand. "It Is to pretty to
eat.”
Three or four days later the man
happened at the house again, and hie
thoughts reverted to the candy cat.
"I don’t see your cat, Gladys,” re
marked the visitor, as the child came
Into the parlor empty-handed. "^Vhat
has become of It?”
"It’s gone,” announced Gladys, with
a regretful sigh. “It got so dirty that
I Just had to eat It.”
The Sure Thing.
“Who Is back of this manager?”
"I don’t know, but the sheriff Is In
front of him.”

"Can you build a stack?” said the
farmer to a laborer who wanted a
Job.
"Sure I can. I can build a stack
the shape of an egg.”
When the stack was nearly com
pleted the bottom shot out and the
stack came to the ground as flat as
a pancake.
“I thought you said you could build
a stack the shape of an egg,” said the
farmer.
“So I did. But I didn’t say whether
It was a boiled egg or a fried one.”

Actual Test Demonstrates Poultry Do
Better Without Curtain—Found to
Be Unnecessary.
In the curtain-front type of poultry-
house used at the Maine experiment
station a feature of the original plan
on which considerable stress was laid
was the canvas curtain in front of the
roosts.
This curtain, together with the back
wall of tho house and the droppings
board under the roosts formed a closet
In which the birds were shut up at
night during cold weather. When tho
curtain front house was first devised It
was thought essential to provide such
a closet to conserve the body heat of
the birds during the cold nights when
the temperature might go well below
zero. Experience has shown, how
ever, that this was a mistake. Act
ual test shows that the roosting clos
et Is of no advantage, even in such a
severo climate as that of Orono. On
the contrary, the birds certainly thrive
better without the roost curtain than
with It. It has been a general ob
servation among users of the curtain-
front typo of house that when tho
roost curtains are used the birds are
particularly susceptible to colds. It Is
not hard to understand why this
should be so. The air In a roosting
closet when It Is opened in the morn
ing 1b plainly bad. The fact that it is
warm In no way offsets physiologically
the evils of Its lack of oxygen and ex
cess of carbon dioxld, ammoniacal va
pors and other exhalations from the
bodies of the birds.
For some time past it has been felt
that the roosting closet was at least
unnecessary, If not In fact a positive
evil, says a writer In the Baltimore
American. Consequently the time of
beginning to close the roost curtain In
the fall has been each year longer de
layed. Finally, In the fall of 1910, It
was decided not to use these curtains
at all during the winter. Consequent
ly they were taken out of the house,
or spiked to the roof, as the case
might be. The winter of 1910-11 was
a severe one. On several occasions the
temperature dropped to 30 degrees be
low zero. Yet during this winter tho
mortality was exceptionally low and
tho egg production exceptionally high.
In view of this experience the sta
tion hns decided to discontinue the
use of the roost curtain. It would
seem to be generally understood or at
least unnecessary.

DISFIGURED WITH PIMPLES
R. F. D. No. 2, Box 46, Matthews,
Ga.—"For three years or more I was
troubled with pimples and blackheads.
At flrBt my face would Itch and burn
and then the pimples would break out.
They looked almost as if X had meas
les, causing great disfigurement. They
would make my face very red and
sore. Then they festered and came to
a head and large boils would come on
my chin and nose.
"I also had dandruff which caused
my scalp to Itch and burn. It Itched
and burned so that I had to scratch It
until It was irritated. The dandruff
scaled off and showed plainly In my
hair. It also caused my hair to
break off and become very thin. I
used several remedies which did not
cure and gave but little relief. After
X received a free sample of Cutlcura
Soap and Ointment I began using
them according to directions. I se
cured two cakes of Cutlcura Soap and
two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, which
cured mo perfectly." (Signed) Miss

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sago Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, Itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at homo, which Is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for “Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about 50 cents.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv.

LITTLE ITEMS OF GEORGIA CITIES
Macon.—In the United States dis
trict court- B. B. Smith, a Bibb coun
ty farmer, was sentenced to serve
fifteen months in the federal prison
at Atlanta, and to pay a $300 fine for
having counterfeiters Implements In
his possession.
Milledgevllle.—On the first of De
cember the regular city election of
Milledgevllle will bo held. The elec
tion will be a quiet one. Mayor Mil
ler S. Bell, who has made a most
excellent record as mayor, will go In
for the fourth term, having been nom
inated last spring without opposition.
Dublin.—Andrew Isler, a negro,
died In this county at the ago of 103
years. He had spent his entire life
In Laurens county, and before the
war of the sixties was a slave, be
longing to D. F. Scarborough. An old
er brother preceded him to the grzvo
several years ago at the age of 105,
and all of the family lived to a very
old age. His mother was said to
have been a native of Africa.
Elberton.—At the close of the spe
cial afternoon session of the North
Georgia Methodist conference here
interest in the election of general
conference delegates was very in
tense. On the first ballot cast for
ministerial delegates, when 232 votes
were cast, Dr. W. H. Duliose of At
lanta, with 152 votes; Dr. J. E. Dick
ey of Oxford, with 148 votes, ami
Rev. J. A. Sharp of Young Harris,
with 125 votes were declared elected,
ed.
Rome.—Eugene Logan of Rome, Is
the proud possessor of a big gray cat
that trees ’possums as well as any
hound dog in north Georgia. Logan
Is a street car conductor with a long
suburban run from Rome to Llndale.
Ho takes the cat with him at night, and
the feline has located several big fat
'possums. The cat chases the 'pos
sums up the trees, holds them thero
till help arrives and then when one
is knocked to the ground, pouncor
upon it as If it were a rat.
Savannah.—The war against pro
hibition law violations in Savannah
(Is oiY. Five proprietors of road
houses were arrested last night ty
Sheriff Merritt W. Dixon and his depu
ties on warrants sworn out by W. B.
Stubbs, who is at the head of a move
ment organized to put a stop to the
open sale of liquor in the city. I. W.
Goette, W. Ij. Babo, Fred Haar, A. E.
Bisbing and Harry Pedaltln were the
men arrested. They were released
In $750 bonds.
Homer.—A statement appearing re
cently in some papers to the effect
that Banks county Is bankrupt Is he- |
Ing bitterly resented by her citizens, i
It is stated that the county was never \
more prosperous than at present. It I
has maintained the convict system j
for four years, and some of the best \
bridges and roads in the state. While
it Is one of the smallest counties,
Banks produced over 12,000 bales of
cotton this year and raised more than
enough grain and forage to supply
her for the ensuing year.
Elberton.—While preaching here to
the North Georgia conference, when
some 1,200 people were present, Dr.

of his sermon. leaning heavily upon
a table before him, he persisted in
carrying on his discourse.

planting pecan trees on the side
walks, and in the three pullc parks.
Where an old shade tree has died,
or been removed on account of change
In street grade, they are being
replaced with a fine variety of paper
shell pecans. Mayor Smith hopes the
precedent he Is setting will be carried
out each fall by his successors, and
that in a few years Covington will
have several thousand pecan trees
hearing the luscious nuts, and that
tho city will have an nnnual “nut
gathering day” when all the children
can be turned loose to gather pecans
to their hearts content.
Tlfton.—The farmers of Tift coun
ty request the board of county com*
mtssioners to employ a county super
visor of public roads. Ho must not
only ho a man experienced In road

tent to lay out a complete county sys
tem of public roads and supervise

ers are also requested to seo that the
pioper care is taken of the roads al
ready built aB well as to construct

ers’ meeting In Tlfton. The subject
set for the day was ‘‘I’ubllc Road,”
and the county commlsslofiers had
been Invited to be present and take
