The Tuskcgee Idea One hundred and ninety-nine graduates re

ceived their diplomas at Tuskegee last week and were sent out to help regenerate the colored people of the South. Their mission is to spread

the gospel of work which Booker T. Washington

is preaching in the Southland. The speakers of the class at the commence

ment exercises did not select philosophical topics

for their addresses but spoke on questions of

practical worth. The speeches ,were' ..illustrated with practical demonstrations. .One person

spoke on "Serving a Breakfast" ; other topics were "Carpentry for the Home," "Modern Home Laundering," "Common Uses of . Electricity in the Home," and "Everyday Bookkeeping." The advice which Booker T. Washington gave the young men and women who had studied in his school was devoid of frills and intended to keep before the graduates a high sense of duty. He said in part:

"Success in life is founded upon attention to

p small thinora rather than to the large things ;

to the everyday things nearest to us rather than tn th thincs that are remote and uncommon.

"In these days we hear a good deal about persons doing their duty. Every one, I presume, is entitled to some degree of credit for doing his duty, but I confess that I never have much respect for the man who is content with merely doing his duty. The person who gets ahead and imnrpsspsi himself unon the world as one worth

while is the one who does his duty, then more

than his duty, so l want, in parting wwn you today, on the eve of your graduating, to impress nnrtn vmi. to earrv with vou at all times the de

termination to do your duty every hour in the

day, then do the extra pence in tne way or aoing

more than your duty. Do your duty in tne neia, in the kitchen, in the laundrv. in the home, in

the shop, in the factory; do your duty in business in teachingi in preaching and then do more than your duty.; ,

Trapping of Pigeons Formed Early Sport

BY S. B. HUDDLESTON. From 60 to 75 years ago there were numerous whole sections of uncleared forests in one body In Wayne and adJoining counties. In 185S the writer went with Frank Bilby Into one of these large forests, then known as the big woods, eight miles south of Dublin. Mr. Bilby with a rifle came Into such square range with two wild turkeys perched pretty high in a tree, and he shot and killed two of them at one shot. Hunting such game as turkeys, pigeons and quail in their season and professional trappers made money at. trapping for furs and hunting for eatable game. The gray squirrel was a pest to the farmers in their day. The fox squirrel came a little later and drove the smaller gray squirrel away, and they were no less a pest in the corn field. Nuts Fatten Hogs. The forests abounded with nuts that were food for birds, hogs and man. Many hogs were butchered that had been fattended on the acorns and other nuts they found In the forest. People who came in to this new country after it had been partly cleared did not suppose the acorns were of any value to man except as a starting food for swine, which were later fully fattened on the acorn. Earlier pioneers found that some of the sweeter acorns made savory food for themselves. They were often dried, husked and pounded or ground into meal and used as bread stuffs. They were specially prized when rosted and made into coffee. It was said to have been better and far more healthful than our staple coffee, not having the drying, unwholesome properties of the latter. But the destruction of the forest, and with it the beech trees with their mast for the wild pigeon has banished that prince of all delicious came birds from all this beech timbered North America. Many old people are still living who remember how they looked forward with longing anticipation for the spring time coming of our migratory pigeons. They came also in the autumn, but this vi6it was so early that the cold weather drove them farther south before the nuts had fallen, and the spring time was the time of their harvest. Recall Pigeon Flocks. Those of us who can look back fifty to seventy years remember the great clouds of pigeons that came over in millions so closely flocked together that not a spark of sunshine could pass between them, and it seemed like

a great rainstorm was hovering over

us. The roar of their fluttering wings was like the roar of an approaching wind storm or like distant thunder. They would sometimes light in the trees in such vast numbers that their weight would break down great branches and sometimes the whole tree tops were stripped of branches. Their meat was highly palatable and brought a good price on the market. Men knowing their roosting places would go into the forest with a shot gun and a lantern. The birds seeing the lantern made a fluttering noise enabling the hunter to exactly locate them, and a couple of discharges from a double barrel shot gun was sure to bring down a large number of birds. The most successful way of catching them was by net traps. A net like a fish seine, but about 12 to 15 feet wide and perhaps twice that length, was set upon a cleaned patch of ground. A rope fastened to a stake or a bush at one end and fastened near the middle, or some 25 feet from the end was the net woven in along one edge. Then the other end of the rope is passed to a man who is hidden in a fodder shock or brush shield. Poles as long as the width of the

HOW TO REDUCE VARICOSE VEINS Many people have become despondent because they have been led to believe that there Is no remedy that will reduce swollen veins and bunches. If you will get a two-ounce original bottle of Emerald Oil (full strength) at any first class drug store and apply it night and morning as directed you will quickly notice an improve

ment which will continue until the veins and bunches are reduced to normal. Emerald Oil is extensively used in hospitals and in factories as first aid to the injured. It is a harmless, yet most powerful germicide and two ounces lasts a very long time. Indeed, so powerful is Emerald Oil that soft bunches, goitre, swollen glands and wens are reduced. It is one of the wonderful discoveries of recent years and anyone who is disappointed with its use can have their money refunded. Leo H. Fihe can supply you. Adv.

net were fastened to the rope at each end of the net -and shelled corn, oats or wheat Is strewn upon the cleared patch of ground. A stool pigeon Is let loose with a string tied to one foot, the other end of the string Is held by the man In hiding. When a flock of pigeons is seen coming near the stool pigeon Is thrown up. It will fly toward the approaching drove, which, when it is properly near, the stool pigeon is drawn down. The flock seeing it descend and at the same time seeing the scattered grain follows it to the ground. By a strong pull of the rope the net is thrown over the flock which congregates close, even on top of each other, struggling for the grain. The net thus thrown often covers a hundred pigeons. They are then carefully killed, bruising only the heads. The birds are then carried away in sacks or baskets. It is said that when beech mast failed in this country the pigeons sought new feeding countries. Thousands of them perished In their effort to find food. Many undertook to cross tbe Atlantic ocean, following the steamships and nearly all perished in this effort, for they could not travel by night. Many were caught and killed when they endeavored to light upon the ships.

"Complexion Secrets Of An Actress"

In a recently issued volume bearing the above title, the author says: "Continuous use of grease paints, rouge and the like, had ruined my complexion. My skin was colorless, wrinkled, coarse and punctured with large pores. In England I heard of the virtues of mercolized wax; my first experience with this marvelous substance convinced me it was more valuable than all cosmetics combined. Now whenever my complexion begins to go wrong I get an ounce of mercolized wax at the nearest drug store, spread on a thin layer of it before retiring, washing it off next morning. The wax, after a few such treatments, seems literally to absorb the wornout cuticle, when a brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin appears. "For the wrinkles and enlarged pores I began using a solution of saxolite, one ounce, dissolved in a half pint witch hazel. Bathing the face in this every day for a while soon relieved the condition most wonderfully." Adv.

To the person who blocks a rood

mm wno lets the Old Trails Booster hustle without encouraging them, Lawrence Handley hat composed the following poem: GET IN LINE. Old Trails Boosters, hustling roosters Never let a grouch or grump Dim the luster of their bluster, But they keep 'em on the Jump. Snow or raining, or complaining, With this bunch cuts little ice; Dark disdaining, they're explaining, How to make the old road nice. Fill your knapsack or your gripsack Full of ginger to the brim. Bless the weather, pull together, Use a little surplus vim. Always dinning they are winning Men to join them every day, Get to talking 'stead of balking. Things are bound to come our way. Come on fellow, don't be yellow, Join us for the fight is thine. Don't sit shirking 'stead of working, Pull your coat and get In line. L. A. Handley.

DRINK MORE WATER IF KIDNEYS BOTHER

Eat less meat and take Salts for Backache or Bladder trouble Neutralizes acids.

Uric acid In meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; tbe bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from bacbache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts ; take a tablespoonfull In a glass of water before breakfast for a few days ad your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. Advertisement
