MANY SALES OF
COLTS AT EWELS
SOME NOTABLE TRANSFERS HAVE
BEEN RECENTLY MADE At
FAMOUS FARM.

Ewen Farm continues with success
this winter its private sales OF colts
and fillies. and indeed their stock
were never so few In numbers as now,
howbeit those still on hand are OF
high order Of merit.
One of the most notable transac-
tons Is the sale Of the two colts.
Silver Gentry and Lee Gentry to Mr..
r. Wesson of Orange County, n. Y.
Silver Gentry is a very flashy looking
and fine going PAGER, a three year old,
Sired by John R. Gentry, 2:001s, out
of the great broodmare Yum Yum. by
Prince Pulaski. Yum Yum is the dam
of the two Metal' Halls, Silver Hal
2:10 and Gold Hal 2:12A, and that
they are true metal is shown by their
both having to their credit winning
races of five to eight heats, and such
records as stand opposite their names,
though most of their racing was done
on half mile tracks.
Yum Yum's sire Prince Pulaski is
well known as the sire OF Matte
Hunter 2:12%, mare that
brought great fame to the Tennessee
PAGER in the early days, and he also
has many producing daughters to his
credit, besides figuring prominently |
in the pedigree of Direct Hal 2:041S
and Walter Direct, 2:05% Now then,
Yum Yum was out of Emma by Tom
Hal, the sire of Hal Pointer, 2:041s f;
and Brown Hal, 2:121s. Enough said
FOR her, except that she was also a
producer of speed, having Blue Jay,
s:25. Then the second dam of Yum
Yum, third dam of Silver Gentry was
he great old producer Ruby, dam OF
Susie b., 2:20A and Rebellion, and
he was by General Hardee, whereby
his Silver Roam Colt gets another
ross of the great founder OF the Hal
amily in Tennessee.

Give children plenty of pure sugar,
taffy and butter scotch and they'll have
little need of cod liver oil, says DR..
Woods Hutchinson in Woman's Home
Companion. In short, sugar is, after
meat, bread and butter, easily our
next most important and necessary
food. You can put the matter to a
test very easily. Just leave off the
pie, pudding or other desserts at your
lunch or midday dinner. You'll be as
tonfshed to find how quickly you'll
feel "empty'' again and how "unfin-
tshed" the meal will seem. You can't
get any workingman to accept din
ner pail without pie in it, And he's
absolutely right. The only thing that
can take the place of sugar here is
beer or wine. 1t is significant fact
that the free lunch counters run in
connection with bars furnish every
imaginable thing except sweets. Even
the restaurants and lunch grills at
tached to saloons or bars often refuse
to serve desserts Of any sort. They
know their business! The more sugar
and sweets man takes at q meal the
less alcohol he wants. Conversely,
nearly every drinking man will tell
you that he has lost his taste FOR
sweets. The more candy nation con-
