One of the most difficult problems Riiieh the poultry keeper has to meet is that of keeping his poultry houses and stock reasonably free from lice, mites and other external parasites. In keeping a poultry plant free from lico there are two points of attack: One, the birds themselves; the other, the houses, nest boxes, roosting boards, etc. In using any kind of lice powder on the birds themselves, it should always be remembered that a single appli eation of powder is not sufficient. When there are lice present on a bird mere are always unmatched eggs of ice ("nits") present, too. The proper procedure is to follow up a first appli cation cf powder with a second at an interval cf four days to a week. If :he bird3 are badly infested at the Deginning it may be necessary to make still a third application. To clean the :racks and crevices of the woodwork ( .!', .... . ' .

The girl was under sge ;nd the consent of her mother was filed only. The father sued for the penalty nd recovers judgment for it. The court holds the consent o the fath er 13 essential when he i:s living. In this case the daughter was living with and being supported by the father, but the court holds that this consent of the father is necessary whether this is the case or not, and whether the father and mother- are living together, as they are in this case, or not. MR. TKAViS IS A CANDIDATE. Will Ask For Kcrcinsiion to Succeed Himself on Commission. Robin Hood's Friends. Hon. E. L. Travis, who was ap pointed corporation commissioner by Govei-nor Kitchin last Julv to suc ceed Henry Clay Brown, deceased, said today that he would be a can didate at the hands of the demo cratic convention for Hie nomination for the full term. Mr. Travi3 came to the commission from Halifax county. He is a lawyer of unusual ability, is a competent and popular man and is in position, after his sev-! era! months' connection with the j commission, to render the state even ! more intelligent service l-y reason of this experience. He has hosts of friends who will do some good work for him. Mr. A. J. Maxwell, clerk to the commission is being urged to become ! a candidate to succeed Chairman Mc Neill, who will retire at the end of his present term. Mr. Maxwell is thoroughly competent and, like Mr. Travis, knows the details of the bus iness, and should be received with favor by the people of the state. The other commissioner, lion. W. T. Lee, was elected two years ago for a full term. Raleigh Times. ABSOLUTELY PURE Makes delicious home tmlced foods of maximum qualify at minimum cost. Makes Siomc baking a pie?

Tho bulk of tha application should bo in the fluff around the 'ent ind on the ventral c-ide of the body uid in the fluff under the wings. Its jfficiency, yvhich is greater than that 3f any other lice powder known to .he wrrfer, can be very easily demon strated by anyone to his own satis !action. Take a bird that is covered svith lice and apply the powder in the nanner just described. After a laps3 sf about a minute, shake the bird," loosening its feathers with the fingers it the same time, over a clean piece jf paper. Dead and dying lice will Irop on the paper in great numbers. Anyone who will try this experiment will have no further doubt of the won ierful efficiency and value of this powder. For a spray, or paint to-be applied to roosting boards, nest boxes or walls md floor of the hen houses the follow ing preparation is used: 3 parts of kerosene and 1 part crude carbolic icid. This is stirred up when used md may be applied with any of the aand spray pumps or with a brush. In both of these formulae it is highly Important that crude carbolic acid be used instead of tho purified product. Be sure and insist to the druggist on getting crude carbolic acid. It is a 3 ark brown, dirty looking liquid, and its value depends on the fact that it eontaims tar oil and tar bases in ad dition to' the puro phenol (carbolic acid). THINK THIS OVER.
