HOW IS
YOUR APPETITE?
Scientists are agreed that it is
not so inubh the quantity you
eat as the quality. If you are
hudgry eat all you want, but
be very careful that the food
is good and wholesome. And
these is a difference in the
places where you buy your ,
foodstuffs. Some merchants
don't care what kind of stuff
they send out; others do. We
are in the "others" class, and
are mightp careful to see that
our patrons get pure, unadul-
terated provisions. Our pigs
get the rest. Try us this
month, just for luck.

The'Poultry Yard.
If you have a sheltered place,
not only to set the hens but also
to rear the young, March hatches
will be protitable. Barrels laid
on their sides under a shed or
some outbuilding, make ideal
nests at this time of the year.
Do not make the common error
of setting hens in the regular
laying houses, and never be
guilty of shutting up a hen on
the nest. The barrel method is
far better, and if a small lath is
built in front of the nest the
hen can get otf and on her eggs
as she deems best. >
Some hens sit too closely to
the nest,others not close enough,
but it is not in the providence of
man to know just how long biddy
should remain on or olf her eggs.
Her -judgment is best in such
matters.
It is not advisable at this time
of the year to place more than
eleven eggs under a hen as those
on the outer edge are apt to be-
come chilled.
Do not disturb her while she
is hatching; and leave the young
in the nest for at least twenty
four hours. The youngsters
need the warmth more than they
do food.
For the first two weeks it is
best to keep the hen and her
young in a large house or coop,
so that they can exercise and at
the same time be protected from
the weather. After that time
they can be allowed outdoors dur-
ing the middle of nice days.
The egg crop is increasing in
bulk and decreasing in price.
All pens should be mated by
now, if intended for breeding
purposes.
Be sure th;tt the male bird you
are using fy'r breeding is no rela-
tion to the hens. You can not
except :.vhere there is a close re-
lation^nip between sireand dams.
K it is intended to purchase
<jygs for hatching this season,
the order had better be placed
now, so that there will no disap-
pointment in getting jthe eggs
when, wan ted.
For strong fertility, try alter-
nating male birds in the pens.
Have either two males for each
pen or three males for two pens
using only one male at a time in
a pen, changing about twice a
week.
Eggs from two-year-old hens
are apt to hatch best at this time,
and the chicks will be more thrif-
ty than those from pullet eggs.
As a rule the eggs from hens
that did heavy laying during the
winter will not be so fertile as
eggs from hens that made but a
fair showing.
Closing the Alamo.
Houston Chronicle.
The press dispatches advise
the public that the Alamo im
broglio has culminated in the
doors of the building being nailed
up and the public denied admis-
sion.
We are further advised that
one of the moving causes for this
action is that it is desired to stop
the stupendous expenditure of
thirty-five dollars a month.
Now the Chronicle has never
taken any partisan part in the
unfortunate, deplorable and
wholly unnecessary controversy
over the Alamo between the two
parties of good women, each
claiming to be orthodox in au
thority.
It has tried to bring about
peace for the sake of an organiza-
tion the purposes of which ap*
peal to every patriotic Texan,
and when the breach has seemed
to widen it has deeply deplored
it.
Nothing but the fact that the
disputants were women instead
of men has prevented such an
outburst of popular indignation
as would have swept both sides
out of power and participation in
the management of the Alamo at
all.
The women on the respective
sides are by blood and lineage
entitled to places in the organiza-
tion, and they believe they are
right, yet in the division and
strife are lamentable, and have
aroused not only regret, but im-
patience and indignation.
However divided and wrang-
ling as they were, they did
manage to keep the Alamo open,
so that Texans and strangers
alike could look upon a spot con-
secrated by matchless valor, and
hear told a tale of daring and de
votion unsurpassed in the records
of heroism.
Thousands and tens of thous-
ands have stood within these
walls stained by patriot blood
and been thrilled with pride to
know that they stood within the
only fortress on earth, the de-
fenders of which laughed toscorn
the demand to surrender and
died unto the last man.
Every visitor to San Antonio,
whether from Texas or else-
where, asks first for the Alamo,
but now its doors are nailed up,
admission is denied to every
comer, thanks to dispute which
never should have arisen, and to
the pitiful, pathetic poverty of
poor old Texas, unable to afford
thirty-five dollars a month to give
her people and strangers an op-
portunity to sea a ahrine hallow-
ed by the noblest blood that was
ever shed that liberty might live.
There is not a mathematical sym-
bol small enough to calculate the
per capita cost to the people of
Texas for that expenditure.
Thirty-five dollars a month
weighed against the offering of
the lives of Travis, Bowie,
Crockett and Bonham and those
who died with them when they
"taught mankind the lesson of
earth's loftiest martyrdom."
If Texas is bankrupt alike in
money, memory and patriotism,
theChronicle will assume the task
of paying a guardian for the
Alamo and keeping its doors
open ten hours a day 365 days in
a year.
No dispute, no strife, no con-
tention, no condition justities or
excuses tha closing of the doors
of the Alamo.
Cured of Rheumatism.
Mr. Wm. Henry of Chattanooga,
Tenn., had rheumatism in his left arm.
"Fhe strength seemed to have gone
out of the muscles so that it was use-
less for work," he says. "I applied
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and wrap-
ped the arm in flannel at night, and
to my relief I found that the pain
gradually left me and has not since
returned." lftroubled with rheuma-
tism try a few applications of Pain
Balm. You are certain to lie pleased
with the relief that it affords. For
sale by all druggists.
Thoughts of an Idle Moment.
Impetuosity is never a good
whip.
Contests are the parents of en
mities.
Corrupted justice has little use
for law books.
The encouragement you give
a race horse may win the race.
We all get more or less bare-
footed on top if we live long
enough!
The greatest coward in battle
talks the loudest when victory is
won.
Fortune may take away riches,
but it never stole a love worth
having.
The man who profits by crime
is far from from innocent in
the eyes of the Great Judge.
If you would be happy, live to-
day for to-day's sake with no
thought for the morrow.
Fortune has a fellow feeling
for the man that gets up early in
the morning and hustles!
A barking dog may never bite,
but it is not safe to wait until he
does to find out if he really is
dangerous.
One of the greatest ingredients
of any doctor's prescription is a
wish on the part of a patient to
be well. ,
Wickedness is cumulative. A
little wickedness at first, like
a rolling stone, gathers accumula
tion as it proceeds.
Death is never the end for the
relatives and friends. In fact,
there is no end to the bills that a
modern death costs.
Extreme fear knows neither
pity no philosophy. It will jump
out of the frying pan into the fire
without a moment's hesitation or
a sane thought.
Kodol For Dyspepsia has helped
thousands of people who have had
stomach trouble. This is what one
man says of it. "E. C. DeWitt &
Co., Chicago, 111.— Gentlemen—In 1897
I had a disease of the stomach and
bowels. I couid not digest anythih,
I ate and in the spring of 1902
bought a bottle of Kodol and the bene-
fit I received from that bottle all the
gold in Georgia could not buy.
And it a fine blood purilier and a good
tonic. May you live long and pros-
per. Yours Very truly, C. N.Cornell,
Roding, Ga'i Aug. 27, 1906."

Vogue of Old Novels.
It is not uncommon to hear elder-
ly people lament that no one now
reads the books which were popular
in their young days, and they will
probably add that no living writer
can for a moment compare with the
generation of authors that has pass-
ed away, by which they generally
mean Dickens, Thackeray, George
Eliot, Bulwer, Trollopc, Bronte,
Hawthorne, etc. We have, however,
every now and then a report from
librarians of large libraries which
goes far to disprove? the correctness
of the complaints of these "old
souls," since they show that many
of the authors named are still in
great demand by the public and hold
their own very well alongside of the
books which are in favor for the
moment, and it was not a little sur-
prising to find that in a table based
on those reports "David Copper-
field" headed the list with a per-
centage of 92 and that "Ivanhoe"
followed closely with 88.—Charles-
