Good Reason for His Enthusiasm
When a man has suffered foi sev
eral days with colic, diarrhoea or
other form of bowel complaint and
is then cured sound and well by one
or two doses of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, as
is often the case, it is but natural
that he should be enthusiastic in
his praise of the remedy, and espe
cially is this the case of a severe
attack when life is threatened. Try
it when in need of such a remedy.

Poultry Department A. & M. Fair
Thd secretary of the fair has an
nounced that he would not charge
any entry fee on exhibits iD the
poultry department; he also states
that he is offering liberal cash pre
miums on each class of poultry,
ducks and pigeons, besides some
loving cups to be won as specials.
I think the secretary is striving
hard to pull off one of the greatest
fairs that has ever been held in this
district, and if the people who can,
will help him, I am sure he will
make a great success.
I want to say that the secretary
nor the association cannot succeed
with this work if the people do not
help them.
Now let all of us who breed thor
oughbred poultry take some inter
est in this department, for we can
make this department the most at
tractive one of all the fair.
The secretary is giving us the
best opportunity that we will ever
have, and I think we ought to take
advantage of it and put on good ex
hibits in each class. By doing this
we can show the people what we
have at home, make it a benefit for
the fair and help each other.
Let us get busy and make this
fair the best one of them all. *
Superintendent of Poultry.
Costly Treatment
“I was troubled with constipation
and indigestion and spent hundreds
of dollars for medicine and treat
ment," writes C. H. Hines, of Whit
low, Ark, “I went to a St. Louis
hospital, also to a hospital in New
Orleans, but no cure was effected.
On returning home I began taking
Chamberlain’s Tablets, and worked
right along. I used them for some
time and am now all right." Sold

SCREEN YOUR HOME
AGAINSJJALARIA
Disease Transmitted by One Kind of
Mosquito May Be Avoided by
Screen and Other Pre
cautions.
Atlanta, Ga.—That screens and
mosquito nets are an absolutely ef
fective safeguard against malaria, and
that if proper precautions were gen
erally taken the disease would be
come practically extinct in Georgia
within a few months, is declared by
the Georgia State Board of Health.
So far as is known to modern medi
cine, the only means by which malaria
can enter the body is through the bite
of a certain kind of mosquito.
The scientific name of the malarial
mosquito is "Anopheles,” which means
in English “harmful” or "dangerous.”
It is shown in Figure 1 accompanying
this article, and is easily recognizable
by the fact that it always stands on
its head, so to speak, with its body
stuck up at right angles to whatever
it has alighted on.
The common mosquito, on the other
hand, as shown in Figure 2, has a
body bent in the middle with each end
pointing down toward the object on
which it has alighted. The ordinary
mosquito alights in the attitude of any
common fly or bug, while the malarial
mosquito always alights head down
ward and tail stuck straight up. Thus
they are easily distinguishable.

ANOPHELE3 CULEX
(Malarial Mosquito.) (Common Mosquito.)
Malaria was known to the ancients
and as early as 600 B. C. the relation
between marshes and swamps and
malaria was recognized. Until very
recently it was believed that the dis
ease was usually contracted by breath
ing bad, or miasmatic, air from marsh
es and stagnant pools, but in 1880 a
French army surgeon, named Laveran,
discovered the parasite which causes
the disease, and in 1898, Ross, of Eng
land, proved that these parasites are
carried by the malarial mosquito. This
disproved the bad air theory.
May Breed Almost Anywhere.
Furthermore; the malarial mosquito
does not have to come from a Bwamp.
It can breed in your own attic, or
your cellar, or your stable. The first
time it happens to bite sombody who
is already suffering from the disease,
it sucks up a quantity of the malarial
parasites, which breed in its body.
Then, when it subsequently bites other
healthy persons it transmits these par
asites to them.
The malarial mosquito is pre-emi
nently a house creature, scarcely ever
seen in the woods or open, but present
in great numbers in dark corners of
rooms or stables in all malarial local
ities. This mosquito bites only in the
dark. It then goes back to some dark
corner where it remains quiescent for
48 hours, at the end of which time it
again descends to feed. Contrary to
general opinion, mosquitoes bite many
times and frequently remain alive for
months, sometimes throughout the en
tire winter.
The malarial parasites which the
mosquito has sucked up breed in its
body and make their way to its venom
gland. Then they are injected into the
body of the person whom the mosquito
bites, just as poison is injected by the
bite of a snake. After they get into
the human blood, the parasites attack
the red blood cells and multiply with
incredible rapidity. Then the new
subject of the disease becomes a
source of danger to others through the
intervention of still other malarial
mosquitoes.
Importance of Screens.
It is therefore obvious, says the
State Board of Health, that the way
to avoid malaria is to screen houses sq
that mosquitoes cannot enter them.
Persons in malarial districts should
not sit on open porches at night, and
should be careful to sleep under prop
erly constructed nets. If a home is
protected adequately against mosqui
toes, there is absolutely no danger of
catching the disease. It can be trans
mitted in no other way.
Persons who already have the dis
ease should be equally careful not to
be bitten by mosquitoes, as every mos
quito which bites them becomes a
source of danger to other people. It
is furthermore their duty to have the
disease treated vigorously under the
direction of a competent physician.
In malarial districts many children
have malaria without showing symp
toms; 1 if they are allowed to sleep
without being covered by a net, they
may infest a larger number of malarial
mosquitoes. The blood of children in
malarial localities should be from time
to time examined, and if the parasites
be found they should be treated until
a cure is effected.
The State Board of Health calls
particular attention to the fact that al
most all negroes in malarial localities
harbor the parasites, though very few
of them show symptoms of their pres
ence. It is therefore very important
that they be treated properly, and
their white neighbors should see to it
for their own safety that they do not
sleep in houses unprotected by nets.
To Farmers and Ginners
The North Georgia Colton Buyers and Manufacturers Association, of
which L. C. Mandeville & Co., of Carroiiton, are members, have issued the
following circular:
The maritime associations have adopted rules effective the coming
season, and state that they will be absolutely and strictly enforced. In
self-protection, the railroads are forced to adopt the same rules, and ex
ceptions will be made ob bills of lading where cotton is:
1st. More or less wet
2nd. More or less stained
3rd. More or less soiled.
You are urged to properly care for your cotton, so that the hales will
remain in good condition.
All ocean freight engagements will be based upon a standard bale
gin-box 27x54 inches, and any bale larger than this will be penalized one
dollar ($1.00) per bale by the steamers. Further, any bale that cannot
be compressed to a density of 22 1-2 pouqds per cubic foot, shipside,
even if 27x54 inches in size, will be penalized 50 cents per bale.
These rules by the ocean carriers are caused by the great difficulty
in properly stowing in steamers, bales of unusual and large sizes, and the
consequent loss of room. Everyone can readily understand the saving
. involved in stowing cotton in a ship, railroad car, or warehouse, where
the bales are of the same dimensions. We urge, therefore, that all gin-
boxes be changed before the new season opens, to the standard
size of 27x54 inches. Texas now has a State law making this stan
dard.
Because of the new maritime rules, the above named buyers and
mills will be forced to penalize bales above standard size one dollar
($1.00) per bales. Bales under 400 pounds cannot be compressed to the
required density, and bales weighing between 300 and 400 pounds will
be penalized 50 cents per bale. Bales under 300 pounds are unmer
chantable, as heretofore.
If the farmer patronizes a ginner whose gin-box is larger than 27x54,
it will mean that such farmer will have to sell his bale for one dollar less
than he could have secured if it had been packed in a standard size gin-
box.
The steamship lines have also made rules in regard to the condition
in which cotton shall be delivered them, and in order to comply with
same, it is necessary that cotton be covered at the gin with good strong
bagging, free from sample holes, and that the ends be well sewed up
Use six yards of two-pound bagging and six ties as heretofore.
The Georgia State Bankers Association has issued a circular calling
attention to these matters, and circulars similar to the above are being
issued everywhere.
A little thought will show that the above rules are for the benefit of
all concerned, and especially the producer, as the cheaper and less waste
ful handling which will be permitted by observing these rules means a
higher price paid the farmer for his cotton.
The co operation of all, therefore, is urged in effecting these reforms

SPECIAL FOR TEACHERS
Present day education demands that the school
—even the one teacher school-shall take into ac
count the problems of the farm and home. With
this in view, and, recognizing that most short
term schools do not open before December, a spe-
cio course in the teaching of agriculture and do-
mel tic science has been arranged for teachers for
thesfirst term, including the months of September,
Oct ober and November. Is it not true that speci
ally trained teachers command better positions and
higher salaries than others? Why not arrange to
take advantage of^this opportunity?
