Do You Open Vow Mouth

Alse young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you?
Or, do you want to know something of the
composition and character Of that which
you take into your stomach whether as

Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
DR.. Pierce believes they have perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge So he

The formation of ozone IN the air
has been traced by llenriet and
Bouyssey to ultraviolet solar rays at
great attitudes. IL increases when
the cat bon dioxide falls below the
normal amount, and is therefore
supposed to be brought from the
upper air where arbon dioXide is
lacking by wind and rain. Some
ozone, however, is formed even in
lower strata by solar radiation in
clear weather. The maximum ozone
is present when the wind is west and
southwest, and the minimum with an
east wind.
Rapid breathing from running,
followed by recovery or second

by DR.. Leonard Hill as due to ex-
haustion of oxygen flom the blood

inhalation is also a means of relieve
ing the distress from an exhausting

WOMAN.

Aos' OOu mhuB n6f less Gna0 JDe angels,
And weaker by far than man;
With a heart so confidiug and trusting
That it seems that the lnllnite's plan
Was to fashion a butterfly creature,
In his inimitable, wonderful way,
With no thought that could reach the
morrow,
But ephemeral just for each day.
But there is something there under
the surface
That reflects the great Masters
mind;
Iiolds not to the blast of the tempest,
But is firm in adveIsitY's wind.
A nature that is noble and loyal,
Sublime in all that is grand,
Great IN the supreme conception
OF the work of an Omn1potent hand.
Not fashioned for toll nor for trouble,
Unused to the burdens of life,
With soul that's too tender and
gentle
10 face the worlds tumult and
strife
Yet a rock when the storm gathers
darkly,
And threatens to break IN its might,
Like queen with legion behind her,
She scurns to take refuge in flight.
But bravely she faces the issue.
IL may mean toll, want and care;
If he, in his wisdom, decreed it,
She'll bow so submissively there,
AS to challenge the worlds admi1a
tion,
AS she bends to the Christening rod
Nor questions the judgment that SEN
r'is enough to know twas her God
Her hand, ss it gently caIesses
The brow racked with fever and pain
Somehow seems to bring as by magic
The glow of Iife's health bloom
again.
And the patient, unselfish devotion
She shows in this mission of love,
Must be the earth mold nf the angels
That faithfully serve him above.
From her breast spring the tender
emotions
That chasten and sanctify home,
That one sacred place where the heart
is
1t matters not where We may roam.
There's a smile and a welcome awaits
From the patient and faithful one
there,
Asking God in his mercies to keep US,
We know was her burden of prayer.
The flowers, in their prismatic beauty,
The birds that sing in the air,
The sunlight that spalkles the dew
drop,
Are proof of his love and his care;
But, the greatest OF all earthly bless
ings
That he for mankind did provide
Is the warm, pure heart OF that. .beign
That lovingly beats at your side.

DOVER, DEL, Jan. 3lst.-Former Sena-
tor ]. Frank Alice returned from Wash.
ington to-day and admitted the truth
of the report that he aud DR.. Caleb R.
Layton had taken the leadership for
Delaware of the Taft. Roosevelt campaign.
1t is intended to make an aggressive
house-to-house campaign prior to the Re.
publican primaries for the state conven.
tion and to line up the entire Republican
and floating vote, as the Independents
are known.
A slate of delegates to include former
Senator Anthony Higgins. of New Castle
county; Alice, of Kent, and Layton, of
Sussex, will be agreed upon and the state
will. be thoroughly canvassed in the inter-
ests of Taft and the Roosevelt policies as
against Senator Knox, whose side will be
championed by Senators DUPONT and Rich
ardson. A conference is said to have
been held between the latter two Senators
in Washington yesterday, at which line
of campaign for Knox is said to have been
outlined.
Meantime Senator Alice was in consul
tation with First Assistant Postmaster
General Frank Hitchcock, who, it is said,
will resign his office next week to manage
the Taft campaign.
The lining nm of the Kuo RannhIioan N
elements in Delaware will result in a
fierce struggle for supremacy and some
lively campaigning is expected every day
henceforth.

AN INEXPENSIVE WAY TO START A
HERD OF THOR0UGHBREDs

An aged COW with a good record can
very often be bought for low price, and
as every successful dairymau should have
a pure blood sire, he can in this way work
into full blooded stock at very smalle ex-
pense, while be is grading up his herd.
In June, 1905, we bought at auction
the Holstein-Friesian COW, Pearl offspring
Brook, who has an official record of over
20 lbs. of bttter-ir days and is from a
dam whose official record is nearly as
great. The price we paid for the COW
was only $65, though her daughter, calf
of only nine months, sold at S2l0 at the
same sale. She was then nearly IA years
old and in calf to Canary Piebe DeKol
and in 1906 she gave US bull calf which
sold for 500. We bred her to our Colan.
tha bull and this year we have fine
heifer calf. Pearl of Elm Court, whose
four nearest dams have official records of
over q lbs. of butter in days and all of
this and more to follow on an investment

SUGAR BEET COUTURE

Sugar beet culture, which has been at
tempted several times in Delaware and
abandoned, either for lack Of sufficient
labor or funds. is again being agitated for
central and lower DeIaware. this time by
woman.
Mrs. Jennie E Bell, who was reared
on farm near Taylor's Bridge, has spent
some time in the West, aud recently re-
turned from Milwaukee and presented
the result Of ber searching labors TO
Smyrna Grange, with the result that the
grange has taken up the matter aud had
a committee to work upon it. Over 100
farms are represented in this one local
grange and nearly 1000 farms are said to
be represented in the pomona oranges to
which the matter will be taken later.
President r. e. Wagner, of the Wis
consin Sugar Company, to whom Mrs.
Bell referred the matter and the condi-
tions in Delaware, has communicated
with the grange, saying:
81 know OF 10 reason why a beet sugar
factory in the State OF Delaware would
not be profitable undertaking. OF course
the chief requisite for success is sufficient
supply of good beets. The average size
factory will consume beets from 5000
acres Of land In the state Of Colorado
there were built during the past seven
yeals, xteen sugar factories. and conti-
guous lands that we're formerly worth less
than $50 per acre are now held at over
$500. Tie principal advantages of beet
culture a,e:
First, Bee are an aimast sure crop,
rain 81 shire, fths farmer DOES his work
property.
Second, The farmer has positive
market, inssmuch as be has had chance
TO sell his beets al fixed price before he
plants.
with proper care the farmer cair
easily produce fifteen ions from one acre,
at s5 per ton, or $50 per acre. ?

ABOUT THE NEW SPRING FASHIONS

There are many attractive novelties
among the spring fashions-not the least
of which is the very latest craze, the but
terfy jacket, with the sleeves formed of
part of the side fullness OF the garment.
In any reliable or plain silk these little
coats are extremely smart. Then there
is the butterfly shirt-waist with the same
sort of sleeves, which are really simply
an extension of the sides or rather OF the
front and back. This waist ia being made
up in soft silks and lingerie materials of
all sorts. 1t looks rather queer until you
are used to it. But nobody dares say
word in its disfavor, for it is really the
very newest thing.
Eew Fashions in Shirt Waists
One ofthe most interesting features of
the shirt waists that have been prepared
for spring and summer is the introduction
of striped materials. Some very pretty
woven and printed cottons both in broken
stripes and in narrow lines have been
brought out in obedience to the Parisian
fad for striped goods of all sorts, The
prettiest as well as decidedly the most
novel of these new shirt waists are made
OF handkerchief linen with narrow stripes
of color. A very chic example had a
white ground with fine pink stripes. It
was made very full, being tucked both
front and back and trimmed with side
pleated friIl, edged with pink hemstitch-
ing, that graduated towards the waist
line, These waists come with stripes of
all coIors, pale blue, lavender, yellow, etc,
and are sometimes trimmed with two
frills, one Overlapping the other. but both
turned toward the side.
Materials for Thin Dresses
Very beautiful are the new cotsons
and linens. Many of these are in striped
effects and there are also some charming

4Hsfs IS no better place to cart the
ashes than the cabbage plot. They should
never be used on the potato patch, for
the reason that the hne in the ashes is
apt to.assist in the production of scab on
the tubers..
The Iowa State Dairy Commission has
discoyered that it takes from six to twelve
cents to make pound OF butter.
Experiments prove that milking in a
stable where the circulation of air carries
out the dust, wiping the udder with
damp cloth, and scalding the utensils
with live steam from boiling water, will
not ouly reduce the bacterial content Of
the milk, but largely increase its keeping
qualities as well as that Of the finished
product.
Calves need salt as much as older stock,
and it is mistake not to keep it before
them at all times.
Bee hives should never be faced toward
the north. In northern latitude north
ern exposure in winter is almost cure to
cause the loss of the colony, by the rig
orous north winds blowing in at the en-
trance, and the confinement of the bees,
caused by the entrances being shaded on
mild, sunny days when the bees in hives
facing southwark fly freely.
The Census Bureau estimates that there
we're 100000 animals slaughtered at
various packing houses in the United
States last year.
Grooming does much to quiet the COW
and gain her confidence, and experiments
show that from % to per cent. may be
gained in milk and fat production by
regular grooming.
These open winter days afford splen-
did opportunity for trimming the small
fruits. Among raspberries remove the
deadwood and cut the laterals back the
length of a foot. II the bushes were not
cut in July to induce branching, then
the top third should be cut off. The
blackberry rows should have about the
same treatment. If the currant bushes
have grown too thick cut away half or
two.thirds of the old wood. In every
case select the oldest stalks to remove.
Leave the bushes open, and spare only
the most thrifty of the new shoots, to
take the place year or two hence OF the
present bearing wood. This also applies
to the gooseberry. 1t is better to trim
the grape vines now than later in the
season. Two main stems from one root
is enough to allow to remain, to be trained
up in fan shape. If the new shoots have
made vigorous growth cut off all but
about Is inches.
The silo has certainly come to stay.
No better proof of this assertion is the
fact that in the older dairy districts OF
New England many new silcs nave been
constructed this past season.

Embroidered batiste, will, SO say the
most fashionable dressmakers, be one of
the approved fabrics of the season for
making dressy summer gowne. Organ
dies are still to the fore and great dealis
to be done with cotton voile. But OF all
the new weaves shown at the fashionable
shops here Mirette is at once the daintiest
and most practical. 1t is especially suit
able for pretty dancing frocks, waists and
negligees made after modish lingerie
styles, since, although it is the exact
counterfeit of high grade China silk in
color, texture and lustre, it launders per-
fectly, coming out of the tub with its
lovely lustre and color undimmed, while
its reasonable cost is an added attraction.
Medish Millinery
The most fascinating straw hats are now
being displayed in the New York shops.
The styles are quite different from the
models We have been wearing this winter.
Shapes are much smaller and crowns are.
higher and, while they are richly
trimmed, there is not such an overpower-
ing load Of garniture piled on each hat as
has been the case during the past season.
For hats to accompany tailor gowns or
ehapeaux for general wear, rough straws
are the smartest These are usually
trimmed with wings and ribbon but
flowers are also used. For more elaborate
millinery lace straw is the newest idea,
though the old iarorites, chip aud Leg
horn, are brought out into requisition as
we'll. These hats are twisted and bent
into all sorts of forms. The idea seems to
be to avoid the straight line as far as the
brims are concerned.
Then the new sailors must by no means
be omitted for they form a very important
part of the spring millinery. These pop
ular hats come in very becoming shapes
and are most smartly trimmed With wings
or just plainly completed in the conven-
tional style by band.
