A New Day Dawns. At the meeting of the State can didates last Saturday in Aiken one could not but help notice the remark able change that had come over the behavior of the campaigners com pared with the olden days of dirty mudslinging and vulgar mouthing. There is no doubt but that the en trance of woman into politics has had much to do with the change. Her presence in the audience and the knowledge that every woman's vote counts, acts as a bridle on loose tongues, and already the good influ ence of woman ir. cleaning up poli tics is undoubtedry seen and felt. The appearance of women as can didates on the stump for the first time in Aiken county, while an in novation that would be hooted and sneered at 10 years ago, was receiv . ed with a calm resignation to the sense of right, and stronger than any picture presented by speech or speaker in former days, was the ele gant refinement of the women candi dates, offsetting with a crumbling crash the old lying bugaboo of the hard-faced, child-hating "he woman" in politics. There can be no more dan ger of the educated nobly ambitious woman ruining our government than there can be of her ruining our homes. To think so and to teach so is fallacy and tommyrot.-Aiken Jour nal- and Review. Cull Out the Slow Growers. The more the poultry industry is studied the more convincing is the rule that it is profitable to get rid of slow growers at the earliest opportu nity. This rule has been in force among breeders of hogs and cattle for many years. Breeders have learned that the more rapidly a hog develops, the more profit he gets, but poultry men, or at least the average man on the farm, has considered a pullet a pullet and has not been taking note of the difference in rapidity of growth. The early maturing bird is always the early producer and generally the most consistent layer. This is true if the pullet develops rapidly without forcing. Do not force the growth of pullets you are saving for layers or breeders, but at the same time do not stunt them by lack of either feed or exercise. Give them clean houses, plenty of exercise and a balanced ra tion and then pick out the slow grow ers for the market or for the home table. There is jno .reason wby the egg production sho?ldTnoT be~lrreatiy~rn creased on every farm in the South west if proper attention is given to culling and selection. The farmer does not need to be a poultry expert. All that is required is that he give his flock a little attention and exercise the same care in selection as he would with his other stock. Whether the flock be purebreds or of mixed breed ing, it can be built up in production. Two Valuable Remedies. Epsom salts and peroxide of hydro gen are two valuable articles tha't should be constantly on hand. Epsom salts is a good corrective and has a tendency to ward off most diseases if given with some degree of regu larity. For ordinary purposes a tea spoonful of salts will be about the right proportion for eight hens, which may be added to the drinking water. This will promote good appetite and keep the blood in good condition. It may thus be fed to the whole flock once a week with good results. Peroxide of hydrogen is a germi cide. It is practically tasteless and not poisonous. Peroxide of hydrogen is simple water with a double quantity of hydrogen in it. In cases of roup canker, or any sore ness in the mouth and throat, a thor ough swabbing with peroxide twice e day works wonders. Applied to a sore peroxide foams as if it were boiling and should be administered or swab bed on the sore until this foaming ceases, which it will do after it has destroyed the sensitiveness of the surface. Peroxide is valuable in case of a cut or an accidental wound, such as the average poultryman often has, caused by wire and nails, and a time ly application will often prevent blood poison. When peroxide is used for troat or mouth,"it should be reduced one-half with water. In the treatment of chicken pox mix a tablespoonful of epsom salts with a gallon of drinking water for all the stock. Place the patients in separate cages, and give them some of this water to drink, besides anount ing the sores with carbolated vase line.-American Poultry Advocate. flow To <flvo Quinine To Children.

An old man, traveling a lone high way, Came at evening cold and gray, To a chasm deep and wide. The old man crossed in the twilgiht dim, For the sullen stream had no fears , for him, But he turned when he reached the other side And budlded a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," cried, a fellow pilgrim near, "You are wasting your strength with building here. Your journey will end with the ending day And you never again will pass this way. You have crossed the chasm deep and wide, Why build you a bridge at eventide?" And the builder raised his old, gray head, "Good friend, on the path I have come," he said, There followeth after me today A youth whose. feet will pass this way. This stream, which has been as naught to me, (To that fair-haired boy may a pit fall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim. Good friend, I am building this bridge for him." -Anon. CHILD WELFARE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE BREWER.. Are the temperance forces of your community watching all the condi tions that have to do with the chil dren and young people in general, lest the training they have had along temperance lines should be under mined by liquor proponents? You may think there is no danger of such a calamity, but how, if the next gen eration does not learn to drink, will there be any hope for the future of the traffic? That the success which has been attained in the past through scientific temperance instruction in the schools of America has been not ed by the enemy in England, and plans laid to prevent teaching of sim ilar nature, may readily be seen in the following statement recently made by the Brewers' Journal to its British readers: "Every year tens of thousands of our young people attain maturity. Few of them nowadays will have es ?aned, theJnfluence^ of _teetotaJ_ propa ganda, at any rate in some period of their youth. Half-truths as to the deleterious effect of alcohol when tak en in excess will have been represent ed to them as applying to the -mod erate consumption of alcohol also. "If the majority of our people, and the rising generation in particular, are not to become alcohol consumers, we may indeed ask, 'What's in a name?' The finest product, backed by the most famous name, will not induce a person to take a glass of beer or spirits who has permanently adopted total abstinence as his creed." While this may be excellent testi mony as to the value of temperance propaganda and what has thereby been accomplished, it also warns us to continue to be on our guard. And that, in the last analysis, the issue rests with the new generation is seen by the brewers, for the article bids the "Trade" remember that "It is not the beer drinker but the potential beer drinker that our oppo nents are most concerned with. It is the uprising generations that the teetotal party wish to enlist on their side." Scientific Temperance Instruction, Child Welfare and Loyal Temper ace Legion work all provide ways of circumventing the enemy. These de partments must be emphasized more, rather than less. Are the schools of your city or village devoting time to teaching the truths concerning alco hol, or are they, under the necessity of including so many things in the curriculum, letting this important topic be passed by with little atten tion? Have you an L. T. L. and if so, are you laying the whole burden on one faithful soul, or is each member of the union doing her part? Is your union stressing the department of Child Welfare, remembering the 18th Amendment and. its enforcement will do more for the children than for anyone else, or are you saying: "We have no one to take up the work?" Remember: "It is the uprising generation" that we must enlist in the prohibition ranks. Oi?!y OD? "BROMO QUININE" To get the genuine, call ior full name. LAX> rrVE BROMO QUININE.
