Within the last decade poultry has made
rapid strides in this country. This is
owing TO the perfection of incubators and
brooders 1t is now customary on the
larger poultry farms to hatch poultry early
in November for the early market the
chicks being sold when less than one
pound weight each. They are substituted
tor squads, which are usually scarce in
January or FEBRUARY. Later in the spring
there Is scarcely any demand for such
small chicks in comparison to that for the
heavier ones Some poultrymen hatch
chicks for every season of the year. AL
though prices are lower in the summer,
the expense for food and care is great
deal less. Choice brolers bring high
prices, but the large majority of chicks
that reach the markets after June or july
is not of sufficient quality to come up to
the requirements OF CHOICE" and the
chicks do not, therefore, bring the best
prices.

Better than Pills.

The question has been asked, ain
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach &
Liver Tablets superior to pills?" Our
answer is: They are easier and more
pleasant to take, more mild and gentle
in effect and more reliable as they can
always be depended upon. Then they
cleanse and invigorate the stomach and
leave the bowels in natural condition,
while pills are more harsh in effect and
their use is often followed by constipa-
ton. For sale by G r. Fogg, Skowhe.

Beauty Your Arms,

Arms are very seldom round and
firm upon women who have passed
their 35th year, and they very often
lose their shape before that.
1t Is unnecessary for women to lose
their beauty so early, and it shows that
they have not paid attention to the
laws of beauty, nor to the laws of hy-
giene.
No woman neglects herself pur-
posely. ana there are few women who
do not improve every beauty aid
known to them, but the trouble is that
they do not know how. And they per-
nit their lines to fail, and their flesh to
fail, without knowing how to remedy
it.
You can take a fiat, flabby arm,
without any shape, and make it round
and symmetrical; and you can take an
arm that is so thin that it looks almost
like broomstick and make it beauti-
full, plump and round down to the very
wrist
Arm exercises are necessary, and
here the woman who does her own
homework has the advantage over her
sister who has no work to do. She is
compelled to take exercise daily, and
that is necessary for the rounding of
the arms.
If woman is not compelled to work
that is, to wash windows, scrub
floors-then she must take exercises
that take the place of work that can
be called manual labor.

Floating Island. Sponge Cakes.
Home Made Candies.
Entire wheat or graham bread can
be used for the sandwiches, and it
should be at least one day old. Trim off
all crust from the loaves, spread the
end, cut off in very thin slices, press
together and cut into various fancy
shapes. Dice the cold chickens, and
for each pint make one cupful of
sauce, using one tablespoonful each of
butter and flour, one-half of a tea
spoonful Of salt and one cupful of milk
or milk and chicken broth in equal
quantities. Paper cases can be found at
caterers in many fancy shapes and are
quite inexpensive. With this course
serve the cocoa in small cups; make it
with water and put in a small tea
spoonful of whipped cream in each
cup. Small bowls in blue and white
ware can be found in many stores for
five cents each, and these would be
just the thing for the floating island

being white of egg whipped to a stiff

To Aid Digestion.

1. Good digestion is best assured by
simplicity in diet.
2. Thorough mastication is essen
tial to perfect nutrition.
8. Dry foods favor mastication, and
the flow of saliva and develop diges-
tive power.
4. Drinking with meals prevents
mastication and weakens the digestive
juices.
5. Relaxation of mind, pleasant
thoughts and conversation, forgetful-
ness of trouble, self and bodily func-
lions, are important aids to digestion.
6. heterogeneous foods, which form
the basis of tissues should not con-
sist of more than one-fifth of the food
eaten.
T. Eggs and meat are largely nitro
genous; legumes (peas, beans and len
tils) contain about 25 per cent; nut
foods, about 20 per cent; gluten, 20 to
40 per cent; grains, 10 to Is per cent.
8. Starches, sugars and fats are the
energy producing foods.
8. A large variety of food at the
same meal tends to create digestive
disturbances.
10. The manner in which we COM
bine our foods will materially affect
their digestion.

nations: Cereals and fruit; cereals and
milk; cereals and nut foods; cereals
and eggs; cereals and vegetables; ce-

unavailing regret. Age steals beauty.
Therefore, beauty means. first of all,
youth Women grow old trying to

because it matters very little whether
they are young or old, handsome or
the reverse. ~

But it is true that very few of them

sttute a beauty on the stage, they
would never attempt to find the kind

hats, which are soft and fine, and good
style for travelling. They cost rather
less, perhaps, than a trimmed hat of
a similar style at the milliners, and
wear quite as we'll. Then a veil is
draped around it, and the woman has
a hat that is comfortable, serviceable,
and probably becoming.
