SPOILED CHILDREN

The spoiled child" usually makes
a weak, sickly man or woman be-
cause such youngster has it's own
way about diet and eats and drinks
things that are unsuited for any stom-
ach and sickness results.
II was always a delicate, spoiled
child, and my parents used to let me
drink coffee because l would cry for
it," says Georgia young woman.
when I entered school my nervous
ness increased and my parents
thought it was due to my going to
school, so they took me out again.
But I did not get any better, and my
headaches got worse and weakened
me so that I was unfit for any duty.
Sometimes I would go a whole day
without any other nourishment than
cup of coffee.
Last spring had a bad attack of
the Grippe and when I recovered l
found that coffee nauseated me so
l could not drink it, and even few
swallows would cause a terrible burn
ing in my stomach. It was at: this
time that friend who had been much

II consider myself we'll and strong
and I make it point now to take a
cup of Postum with a cracker or two
as soon as I come home from school
in the afternoon. Postum with crack
ers or biscuit makes my luncheon.
It certainly saved my life, for l
know coffee would have killed me in
time had continued drinking it.

EARLY WINTER
FISHERMEN CATCH BLAckFIsH IN
UNUSUAL QUANTITIES.
Seaside Resort Managers Consider
Circumstance an lnfaIlibie Indica-
ton Of an Early Winter and Close
Up Shop.

Just outside the bathing lines at
Manhattan Beach fishermen have for
more than a week been pulling in
hlackfish with unusual success. The
catch has this year been almost un.
precedented and bathers turn out to
watch the fishing. The bathing pavil-
ions have closed this fall two weeks
earlier than they have at any time in
the last ten years, and the crop OF
blacklist has had it's effect in causing
this. Their presence is taken to
mean an early winter. This coming
after a cool and rainy summer, the
bathing pavilion managers decided
that it was useless to struggle longer
against the weather.

Whitewashing a Poultry House.

withdrawing a Poultry House.
Whitewash needs to be we'll made
to do it's work effectually; too often
it comes off in flakes, once the house
is dry, if the woodwork Is touched.
Finely Stacked lime should be dis
solved in hot water, making the lime
as thick as possible; add little soft
soap and some paraffin, and we get a
whitewash that will kill the lice and
stick to the woodwork. It should be
applied hot. the walls of the poultry
house being first swept down to clean
them of cobwebs and dirt. and the
perches and nest boxes removed.
Dabbing the walls with a thin mixture
of lime and water does little or, no
good. The perches and nest boxes
should also be treated to- coat of
whitewash; the work should be done
in the morning, so that by nightfall
the house and perches and nest boxes
are dry again.

Most OF the good people who viii 20
to church on Christmas day would tell
you, If you asked them, that they
were celebrating the 1sO3d anniversary
of the birth of Christ, yet the facts are
that they are undoubtedly several years
wrong In the number OF years they sup
pose to have elapsed since the advent
of the Redeemer and are probably no
more accurate when they suppose Him
to have been born on Dec. 25.
From the best and most authorita-
tive sources 1t seems likely that Christ
was really born In the year b. c. 3, and
that dating the Christian era from the
first day of the following January
this should be the year 1907 Ammo DOM
mi, and not the year 1908.
Both profane and sacred history tell
us that the Emperor Augustus order
ed a census of the Roman empire, and
that for the purpose OF enrolment all
the inhabitants were directed to go TO
the city or town 10 which they or their
families belonged, That Is why Joseph
and Mary went 10 Bethlehem, and
why that little village instead Of Naz-
areth, was the birthplace of Christ. For
the Bible says duke II, 1-4): "a de.
cree went forth from Augustus Caesar
that the whole world should be enrolled.
And all went to be enrolled, every one
into his own city. And Joseph also
went up from Galilee. from the city OF

Nazareth into Judea to the city Of Da-
Vid, to be enrolled with Mary his es-
poused wife, who was with child"
That apparently, Is clear enough. If
the date OF a census ordered by Angus
tus and taken by Cyrenius can be as
certaned; but unfortunately there Were
three consuses ordered by the emperor,
the data for which from Syria was pre-
pared and collected by Cyrenius.
Naturally, the first Christians con-
tinued &c fix their dates, az they had
been accustomed 10 do before the birth
of Christ, counting, II Jews from the
Creation; II Romans. from the found
ing of their city; If Greeks by Olym-
piads, and for five centuries there We're
no Amos Domni; then Dlonysis Ext
guus. Roman abbot. invented the
present style and by an elaborate sys-
TEN OF calculation placed the birth OF
Christ in the year 754 of Rome and the
fourth year of the l94th Olympaid
1908 years ago.
Dionysis reached his conclusion by
fixing the date of the criclhxion, and
counting back 80 years, that being the
age Of Christ, but subsequent COM
mentators have shown that he made an
error OF some four years and that he
should have begun the Christian era
that much sooner.
