weight, and the latter is certainly the
warmest. all possess the quality of being
only slightly porous. and SO prevents the
wind from sitting through. This protec-
ton will insure smoothness of the flesh,
though it does not warm the hands, but
the latter is easily provided by using a
mum or wearing heavy knitted gloves over
the kid.
Undoubtedly the ideal hand covering for
children who play in the cold and snow
and for persons who are much out OF
doors in winter is kid or dogskln grover

casions, and when it Is necessary to use

The LIQUID does not soak through the

hands are being whitened and nourished

of water is overcome. For such use as

Afternoon AT Home.

Cards for an "at home" to he given
by a charming young woman have just
come to me. She is such an exact soul
liking always to do what is correct and
being rather inexperienced, that / looked
at them with special interest. and was
not altogether astonished to see that she
used. Her own visiting cards were en-
ployed, which is correct, but she wrote
the words AT home," form that has
been obsolete for several years.
Why this mistake was made is obvious
after a moments reflection.
To look as Dame Fashion would have II
an Eat home" card should read:
Mrs. James Howard Brown.
Thursday. November Twenty NTH,
From four to seven.
The fact that Mrs. Brown puts a date
and special hours on her visiting card
home! To write the words ''at home"
thus is superfluous. Incidentally, these
extra words take space on a. limited size
card, with the result that the latter looks
crowded
If the hostess is giving her "at home
for a friend or relative the name of the
guest of honor must be written beneath
her own, as

Cards for an lat home must be sent

PURIFYING the blOO0

No case of Rheumatism was ever

the circulation, and sometimes may
be temporarily relieved by the appli-

BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-During
the consideration of the postoffice ap-
preparation in the house of representa-
tives no congressman evidenced keener
interest in it's provisions than did the
II members of the Georgia delegation.
That the salary of the rural route car
riers was not increased from 5000 TO
$1,000 per year was no fault of the
Georgians.
Congressman Bartlett, of the Sixth;
Adamson, of the Fourth, and Hardwick,
of the Tenth. engaged in tl:e debate, and
each vigorously championed the propo
sition to increase the pay of the car
riers. Other members of the delegation
were in their places, and indicated their
approval by their votes.
Mr.. Hardwick offered as an amend
ment his rural parcels post proposition
but II was ruled out on a point of order.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED
WHAT Is A PROLIFIC VARIETY OF
CORN

CORN?
Through an inadvertence on our part,
ROckdalc was stated as a prolific va
riety of corn in a recent issue of The
Semi-Weekly Journal BY some it
seems to be regarded as such, but there
10 evidently much Misrepresentation in
.he minds .of many farmers as to what
constitutes a prolific variety. Some re-
gard any variety which makes a large
yield as prolific AS a matter of fact,
prolific varieties are those which pro-
duce from two to five or more ears per
stalk. The ears are generally from
seven to nine inches in length. and
weigh from eight to ten ounces. The
ears. of non-prolifc corns, on the other
hand, are from nine to eleven inches I'm
length, and the circumference should be
about three-fourths of the length The
weight of non-prolific ears will vary
from IL TO 16 ounces. While non-pro-
life corn will produce two ears per
stock, one large ear is the rule If
the farmers will bear this distinction
i'm mind, it will be possible to clear up
some of the confusion in nomenclature
concerning what constitutes a prolific
and non-proific corn. For instance, the
writer has heard the Rockdale pronounce
ed a prolific variety in many localities.

for pulveriZing the land than a disl,

certainly been an advantage this year.
When crop of cowpeas is cut off the
land from 20 TO so pounds of nitrogen
per acre are left in the roots, stubble

very useful to a gross feeding crop like

Why do people who do not eat pork
as meat continue to use it in the form
of lard? Lard is just as indigestible
as pork. In a recent article on cook
ing fats, DR.. Paige Emery, the eminent
specialist, writes as follows:
THE healthful and economical solu-
ton of the cooking fat problem is the
use of Cottolene. Cottolene is purely
a vegetable product. is easily assimi-
lated, and aids digestion. Dietetic ex-
pertments have shown conclusivtly that
when vegetable oil is used in cook
ing in preference to animal fat, Il Is
more easily assimilated and yields far
more nourishment to the body"
Cottoiene is sold only in sealed pals,
of special design, which keep it sweet
and fresh indefinitely.

to secure a larger growth is to begin now
to plan for a rotation of crops for the

We would advise dipping your hens in
zenoleum or chlorO-naptholeum./ using
one part of either to 60 parts of warm
water. For instance, if you have quite
a number of hens, take one gallon OF
zenoleum. and mix il with 60 gallons Of
water. Dip your hens in this mixture,
putting them in tail first, and holding
them entirely under the mixture, except
the head, for a moment or so, then duck
the head under, raise from the mixture
and allow to drain over the mixture for
a moment and turn loose Hens with
broods of chickens should be dipped the
same way. but it is not necessary TO dip
the chicekns, as the hen in lowering
them will rid them of the 1eas.
