Our Enormous Egg Crop

The egg and poultry earnings Of
the United States for ore recent year
amounted to S2SO,OOO,OO0. Such an
amount is sufficiently amazing as it
stands, but you don't get It's full sig
nlfcance until you study the relative
financial values OF other "lndustrlals.
We find, for instance, that the total
value of gold, silver, wool aud sheep
produced in America during the ear
in question was S272 ,Sl5. The
sugar production the same year was
but $2O,OOO,000 That part Of the
wheat crop used at home, which many
consider the most valuable OF all our
agricultural products, was worth s22S,
100000. The great American hog.
AZ consumed at home and abroad,
brought $lS6,529,0S5. The value Of
the oat crop was SIS. 800. POts-
toes grown In the United States were
valued at nearly as large sum as
were the oats. The product # tobac.
co plantations was estimated 10 be
worth $50, ,579,2S5. Cotton, the de-
throued king of staples, could show
only $3.50, l6l GAO as against the mag.
nifcent earnings Of its feathered rival.
The crops OF flax, timothy, clover,
millet and cane seeds, broom corn,
castor beans, hay, straw, and.so forth,
couldn't, all told, come within meas
urable distance OF many millions Of
the poultry earnings.
The hens eggs produced in this
country annually would fll 1927.
900 crates, each of the latter holding
500 eggs; also a train Of refrigerator
cars to carry these eggs would be
nearly 900 miles long. Furthermore,
it would take l07,Sl8 such cars to
make up this train.

Every mother possesses information
which Is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she Is a mystery TO herself and
friends, her mother should come 10 her
aid. and remember that Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start the menstrual
period in q young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which
will be read with interest:

Senator Elhns to Have Game Preserve

Daniel R. Baker, Of Beverly, has
sold to Senator Elkins tract of 500
acres of land lying on a stream called
Little Black Fork, tributary Of Sha'
ver's Fork of Cheat river. The land
is about six miles east of EIkins. Lit
tie Black Fork flows through the land
a distance of three miles, and is a typl-
cal mountain stream, except that Its
water is of a darker color than is usu-
al with mountain streams.
Senator Elkins bought the land for
the purpose of converting 1t into a
fish aud game preserve, says the Nor
gantowu Chronicle. The stream will
be stocked with fish, and with the pro-
lection that it will have the fish should
thrive in the creek, which is an ideal
place. 1t is probable that trout only
will be placed in the stream, although
no announcement has been made con-
cerning the matter.
Senator Elkins will build club
house on the land and fit it for the
entertainment of visitors. The woods
remain in their natural state and
the pheasants, quail, turkeys and per-
naps large game will flourish.
There are few game preserves IN
West Virginia, but not many. Until
recently the forests were filled with
game and streams with fish and there
was little necessity for private hunt
ing grounds. But this condition has
changed so rapidly that it has now
become almost useless to hunt or fish
on wild lands. A few game pre-
serves ccattered about the State will
provide places of refuge for wild crea-
lures and save them from extermina-
ton.

Statue of Satan Unveiled by Infdel

A monument to Satan, erected 10y
an avowed infdel to show his contempt
for religion, was the sight that greeted
neighbors of Herman Menu, a con-
tracting stonemsson, when they passed
his home in Stenton avenue, Detroit,
the other day. Murmurings Of indig-
nation are freely voiced, and correct
i've measures are being discussed. The
monument is quite an elaborate affair,
about fourteen feet in height from its
foundation to it's crown. Satan lie
shown in stopping posture behind a
pulpit. His infernal majesty is look
ing over the landscape with a fend-
ish glare, with his horns protruding
from the side of his head. Carved il
the stone directly in front is the big,
ugly fork with which he is supposed
to prod sinners in the FIRE. The struc-
ture is built on the lot alongside the
Menz home. Around the neck Of the
statue when it was unveiled was a
ribbon of United States fags. Menz
explained this by saying that it was a
Yankee devil.

Has a Cure for Consumption Been Dis
cOyered2

The announcements of great dis
coveries in medical science are always
received with caution by members of
the profession. This is especially
true of the claims to discoveries OF
specifics for the cure of tuberculosis.
Many such claims have been made in
the past. but all of them have proved
unfounded The present reliance IN
fighting this disease is not with med
icine and Ndrugs, but with food and
fresh air. This treatment has accom-
plishei vast amount of good. But
it is not generally effective in cases
where the disease has made great
progress The announcement Is now
said to hase been made by Pro- f nil
Won Behring that he has discovered a
remedy-not only remedy, but a
preventive, and one that will make
the body immune from the disease.
While this is not received AS final, II
is sufficient to inspire hope IN thou
sands, nay millions OF sufferers. DR..
Behring is man OF recognized stand
ing in his profession and has earned
the gratitude of mankind by his dis
covery of the antltoxln slrum for the
treatment of diphtheria That DIS
covery has unquestlonably saved num-
berless lives and has been lasting
boon to humanity. The learned sci
enlist who conferred this boon is en-.
titled to a respectful hearing when he
claims to have found a remedy for
still more deadly disease Before DR..
Jenner's discovery smallpox was the
deadly scourge and annually carried
of more than all diseases combined.
A preventive was found for that dis.
ease. and now consumption IN It's VAR
ious forms is the most formidable NAL
ady with which the medical profession
has to contend. The late lnterna-
tional Tuberculosis Congress held at
Paris in discussing the treatment and
prevention of consumption set forth
the social consequences Of the malady,
its effect upon labor, "ils results In
lowering the intellectual and moral
tone OF community, It's encourage
ment OF the use of alcohol and the
sure deterioration of the race. The
conclusion now Is that consumption
is not hereditary, but its transmission
by contagion from parents to children
and from one member of a household
to another, or by inheriting the weak
ness or susceptibility, which makes it
easily contracted, amounts to almost
the same thing. Therefore, tubercu-
losis is steadily spreading and annu-
ally resping rich harvest Of lives.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that DR..
Behring is not deceived in his expec-
tation.

Just Called Him Theodore.

Calling him Theodore and patting
him on the shoulder, Mrs W. E. Bak-
er received President Roosevelt last
Friday in Darlington Hall, her home
at Roswell.
Mrs. Baker was bridesmaid when
the Presidents mother was married.
She had been invited to reception
at the old Bulloch home, but said that
the President must come to see her.
Secretary Loeb explained that this
could not be, as it was contrary to all
precedent for President to visit prl-
vate homes during a tour. The
President missed Mrs. Baker at the
Bullock home and asked for her. Mr..
Loeb told of her refusal to attend a
public reception, and the President
said he must see his mothers brides
maid, precedent or no precedent.
When he entered the old home
with Mrs. Roosevelt he found Mrs.
Baker seated, dressed in black frilled
with white lace about the collar and
cuffs. She wore lace cap, and was
the picture of contentment.
"And this is Theodore" she said
extending her hand. 81 am SO glad
to see you, Theodore.
Then rafting the President on the
shoulder, she told him how his mother
looked when she was married.

Jews In America.

The 250th anniversary Of the first
settlement of the Jews IN America oc-
ours next month. While no arrange
ments have yet been made to observe
the event locally, nearly every syns-
gogue and Jewish religious school in
the country will hold services in hon
or of the occasion. In New York
there will be a mons er celebration
in Carnegie Hall, which will be at
tended by Jews from each State and
territory IN the union. Judge Shultz-
berger, Of Philadelphia, will be the
orator of the day, and the exercises
will include addresses by prominent
Israelites and other appropriate SER
vices.
The first Jews arrived in New York
were refugees from Portugal and they
came by way Of Brazil, and the West
Indies, where they sought an asylum
in vain. The party numbered twenty
three.
There are today twenty times as
many Jews in New York City as in
Palestine.
OF the 100000 Of the race in the
United States, the metropolis claims
100000.

The Better Way.
He serves his country best

He serves his couRtry best
Who joins the tide that lifts her nobly on:
For speech has myriad tongues for every day
And song but one, and law within the breast
Is stronger than the craven law on stone.
There is a better way.
He serves his country best
Who lives pure life and dOeth righteous deed
And walks straight paths, however others stray
And leaves his sons as uttermost bequest
A stainless record. which all men may read
This IS the better way.
No drop but lifts the slowly lifting tide,
No dew but has an errand to some flower.
No smallest star but sheds some cheerful ray;
And man by man. each giving to the rest,
Makes the firm bulwarks Of the countrys PoSer-
There is no better way.

The Navajo Indians.

A group of Navajo babies, two,
three and four years old, without a
rag of clothing and playing In the
snow, is a sight to make one think.
They yell with delight, their eyes
sparkle with glee, they are overflow
ing with fun, and they feel the cold
no more than does their Snow Man. "
Every part of their naked little brown
bodies is as accustomed to the cold as
are our own faces. Their fathers are
equally tough, virile and healthy
when at home equally unaffected by
any out-of-door changes in their nat
ural out-of-door lives And yet along
the line OF the Santa Fe Railaoad,
where many labor and live in stove
heated houses, these same fathers die
of pneumonia Ike sheep.
Several different accounts, from
several different States, have appear
ed in the newspapers, telling Of con-
sumptives who have been seeking a
cure through sleeping in the open
air with the thermometer below
freezing point. All agree In the
statement that distinct benefit has
been noted. However this may be,
it is an undisputed fact that the nat
ural tendency of the body is to throw
off disease OF any and all binds. The
point of this article is that comparl-
son between the natural life OF the
Navajo Indians and the artificial lives
that we lead makes clear to the dull
est eye the immense extent to which
our artificial modes of living are re-
sponsible for the wide prevalence OF
| disease among us.
The Navajos are physically fine
race, they are symmetrical IN form,
powerful and possess great endurance.
Among them disease is practically
unknown-that Is, it was almost un-
known until contact with the whites
and the white mans wees in the way
of Incorporate living brought to them
the white mans diseases. They oc
cupy, on their sixteen thousand square
miles of reservation in the northeast
ern corner of Arizona and northwest
ern corner of New Mexico, territory
in which the extremes of temperature,
winter and summer, are well marked
without being excessive. They are
the largest remaining tribe of the ma
tive Indians. Their intelligence is of
a high order.
Their rug and blanket work on ma
tive looms is too well known to need
comment, and their artistic native
silver work has wide market. Ma
ny hundreds of them are employed as
laborers along the line of the railway,
seventy thousand dollars having been
paid out in recent year for Navajo
labor by one contractor alone. AS
laborers they are unquestiouably su-
perior to Chinese, Mexican or Japan
ese.
Under these circumstances it ls not
only lesson but an exceedingly sad
lesson that so many Of them should be
directly killed by conditions which
they do not need, do not want and
cannot stand, viz: the white man 8
wholly unnatural way of living
Consumption and pneumonia carry
them off by the score.
