“When in Rome Do as Rome Does.”
“When they are at Rome, they do as
they see done,” is contained in “Anat-
omy of Melancholy” by Robert Bur-
ton. St. Augustine was in the habit
of dining upon Saturday as upon Sun-
day, but being puzzled with the differ-
ent practices then prevailing (for they
had begun to fast in Rome on Satur-
day), consulted St. Ambrose on the
subject. At Milan they did not fast
on Saturday, and the answer of the
Milan saint was this: “When j. am
here, I do not fast on Saturday; when
at Rome I do fast on Saturday.”

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says “Take for
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
Bale.”
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
bo mahy people claim, that it. fulfills al-
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the urio
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Co,, Binghamton, N. Y.,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores,—Adv.

I was giving a lecture to my juniors
on the life of Shakespeare. I was
sitting on one of those folding chairs
which are only too willing to live up
to the name applied to them, and you
can imagine ray feelings when I sud-
denly found myself seated on the
other side of the desk, while I was
looking over the top of it.

In many of the Southern and South-
western states fowls and chicks are
often infested by a species of flea,
commonly known as the “stick-tight”
flea, because of its habit of sticking to
one place on the bird instead of mov-
ing about like lice and mites. They
are usually found in clusters on the
comb, wattles, and around the eyes.
Chicks, when Infested, often die quick-
ly. Old fowls, while-usually stronger
and more resistant, will cease laying,
or nearly so‘, and sometimes die as
the result of the attacks.
“Stick-tight” fleas breed in cracks
and crevices of brood coops and poul-
try houses, and dry animal or vegeta-
ble refuse, but not in damp or wet
places. Therefore, to get rid of them

a pi'eparation of' kerosene and lard—
one part kerosene to three parts of

too much of the mixture or get any of
it in the birds’ eyes or on other places
where it is not necessary, as it may
cause injury if used too freely.
Clean and spray the coops and
houses thoroughly, the same as for

dining table for a formal luncheon.
“What are those pretty pictures you
give' the ladies?” she asked.
“These are place cards, to show the
guests where to sit,” was the answer.

Pullets and hens do better for hav-
ing oyster shell as a regular part of
their ration. This was proved by the
New York experiment station some
years ago, when a poultry writer con-
demned the use of oyster shell as un-
necessary.
It was proved that a pound of oyster
shell contains enough lime to manu-
facture about seven dozen eggs. This
should not be fed in the mash. Fowls
know more about ^vhat they need to
eat than we do. If they have the
oyster shell, ground bone, meat scraps
and grit in hoppers before them, with
a variety of ground grains in dry
mash, they will balance their ration
better than we can balance it for
them.

Many people say that turkeys are
too hard to raise, and fewer of them
are raised from the number of' eggs
set than any other kind of fowl. This
is almost always because the little
poults are allowed to get chilled or
damp or lousy during the first month
or six weeks. After that age turkeys
are the hardiest of fowls.
