$50 circular letters are waiting at the
post Office to be sent this week to the
students of the George Washington Uni

This morning it was arranged that the
decorations used by the automobile show
will be used at the George Washington

tions think that this will be an added at

THE NUMBER OF EGGS.

To be successful with poultry re-
quires great deal more careful item
ton than many are apt to think. The
house should be large and warm. The
fowls 81 ould have plenty of exercise;
but, more than that, the fowls should
be given as food what their nature de-
maDds and what, if allowed free range,
they COLD procure for themselves.
'Page's Perfeete Poultry Food con-
tains these ingredients in a carefully
compromised ration. A. A. Olmstead

lowing to sap in regard to this food:

Sans hands ground his face into the
sand: he would have drawn his knife,
but the Soudanese had forestalled
him, drawing it and driving it into

motion. ***
In a couple of minutes they had
scooped out a hole in which they tum-
bled the slave-driver's body with the
fragments of the broken gun. and
they drew sand over it in great hand
fuls until it was covered to the depth
Of three feet. The Berbers tossed
great handfuls of sand into the air.

like chaff over the grave, and in a
