some serious sickness or ailment.
This disturbed and disor-
dered condition of health is the
result of impure accumulations
in the system due to an inactive
winter life. The bodily waste and
refuse matter is not properly ex-
PEELED in cold weather, because
those members whose duty it is
to perform this work Of drainage
do not receive sufficient stimula-
ton from outdoor bodily exercise;
they therefore become dull and
sluggish in their action; nor is
the skin as active in eliminating
impurities in cold weather.
These Winter accumulations
pollute the blood and destroy its
rich, red corpuscles to such an
extent that when Spring comes,
and everything takes on new life,
the circulation is so weakened
that it is unable to supply the

Hens Not a German Industry.

Germany pays comparatively little
attention tc poultry raising. For the
greater part of its supply of eggs and
poultry the empire is dependent upon
Italy, France, Belgium and the Bal
kan States. The imports into Ger
many of eggs and poultry have in
creased marvelously since 1872, in
which year the combined imports of
these two items amounted to only
100000. In 1880 they had increased
10 $5,000,000, and in 1907, $37,S45, $50
worth of imported eggs and $12,730, 500
worth of imported poultry were con-
sumed, with exports that same year
amounting only to $313,500 for eggs
and $211, $50 for poultry.
Farming people of Germany look
upon poultry raising as an unprofit-
sble industry, and the average Ger.
nan farmer considers it q waste of
money to raise or purchase food for
his hens or to provide his fowls with
satisfactory quarters. And dark cor
aer of a barn or stable is usually con-
sidered amply good enough, and the
fowls must find themselves all the
food they require. Household scraps
In most cases are fed to the hogs. It
Is needless to say that under such
conditions poultry raising is inded un-
profitable.

NOW THE PETROLEUM FACE"
Somewhat Undesirable Cast of Fea-
lures Said to Be Becoming Pre-
yaIent in London.

Londoners, according to their indi-
vidual temperaments, will be Mortified
or amused to learn that they have "pe-
troleum faces"
The petroleum face was discovered
by an American visitor to London, who
lays the blame for it's existence on the
sitting motor-omnibuses, which cause
us to screw up our faces as though
they were not there"
From observation Of a crowded part
of the city passed daily by dozens of
motor -omnibuses the Daily Mirror
gathered a definition of the petroleum
face.
The petroleum face is first of all alb
solutely devoid of mirth-no passen-
ger on a motor-omnibns ever seems to
smile, and rarely speaks.
The petroleum face is screwed up
and wrinkled and anxious. The nasal
organ appears to be trying to avoid
shifting the inevitable petrol; the eyes
are strained, as though the owner is
suffering some fear that "the worst
may happen"
People on the streets with petro-
leum faces fly in all directions to avoid
annihilation by motor-omnibuses or to
escape the perfume the vehice exudes.
The petroleum face is hard face,
1t has no bloom upon it; nor has it
any soft curves. Taxicab men and
motorists are all suffering from it.
They are examples of a new, machine
made type of man.
