Lice XIII MANY Chick.

It is known that a brood of chicks
that are apparently we'll will suddenly
begin to droop and die, especially when
the weather is very warm. In such
cases the cause is usually lice. There
may be no lice on the chicks when ex.
amined on one day, yet in two or three
days more they may have the large lice
on their heads. In the first symptoms OF
droopiness rub drop of lard on the
head of each chick ard dust it well with
insect powder. Then treat the hen in
the same manner, as lice go from the
hen to the chicks.-Farm and Fireside

it was interest due on a mortgage, and

HAD been at the Climax hot springs
for three days when the Widow Hen

for month, in order to boil the rheu-
matisIn out of my system, aud there
were hundred other guests booked in
q like manner. The springs were never

ways fiud u lot of people there who are
financially solid. I was Oh the vera nda
when the widow drove up in the bus,
and l sized her up as follows:
Age about q, fine figure; second

intellectual and entertaining; proba-

when Hendricks shuffled off; she'll do to

l was bachelor, you understand,
and at liberty to tlirt, make love or
marry. 1t was said that was good
looking bachelor, and though I was
bothered with rheumatism in my left
knee just then, it didn't interfere ma
teria'ly with the grace of my carriage.
] fattered myself that attracted the
widows attention, and was glad to
note that several other bachelors or
widowcrs were bit jealous of me. We
got her history, or rather few de-
tails, from one of the hotel clerks She
was worth half million dollars, and
lived in Cincinnati. Her sister and
brother-in-law would appear later. She
had twinges of rheumatism in her left
knee, and would take few baths be-
fore sailing for Europe to be gone a
year.
For two days the fair young widow
avoided us; hut on the third day, to
my great satisfaction, she was given
seat at my table in the dining-room
Not only tha;, but next to me; and she
had not given the waiter her order
when I introduced myself and man
aged to ada few honeyed words to
please her self-esteem. She gave me
her name in return, and the fact that
we were both suffering from rheuma-
tism in the same knee served as a
bond to draw us together. [ admired
her from the start; by the time her
poached egg was brought thought I

How the Work of Feeding H0Psea

The Importance of having everything

work of feeding horses can often be

Oil City, Pa, Oct 25.-Three persons
were burned to death and seven more
were severely injured in a fire that de-
stroyed the Hotel Brooklyn at Kel-
letville, Is miles southeast of Oil City,
on Sunday morning at an early hour.
The building was three-story one,
roughly built of double boards, and
burned like finder. Wien the firemen
first discovered the fire there were II
persons asleep in the hotel. At that
time the flames, which had originated
on the second floor of the building,
shut off all retreat from the rooms
on the floors above. Six men on the
second floor and five on the third saved
themselves by jumping from the win
dows to the ground below, but there
was none of those who escaped with

have verified his prophecy that the in

attributes it to the wonderful cleaning
up of private indebtedness under the

with a surplus when their stupendous

Walter + was six years old. He

and Walter had new bathing suit.
Every boy in the block was invited
into the house to see him try it on. and
one day we discovered him in the bath
tub surrounded by an ,admiring group
of Juveniles, to whom he was discours-
ing about how he would dive from the
end of the iron pier when he reached
the ocean. When the young man, how
ever, saw the ocean with the great
waves rolling on the beach, he could
not be induced to go near it, and posi-
lively refused to put on his bathing
suit. One day his father offered him
so cents if he would put on his suit
and get wet all over once. He wanted
the money very much, and he finally
consented. Clasping his arms around
his fathers neck like wise, the great
undertaking was begun. After much
shiyering and trembling he was wet

Chicago, Oct. 25.-The Chronicle says:
The will of George NJ. Pullman, the
dead palace car magnate and multi
millionaire, was opened Saturday night
and read to the members of the FAM
lily at the Pullman residence, 1929
