The Claypoole story begins with

land.
In tracing the lineage we pick up

Fascinating as it would be to linger
in palaces of kings and queens and
marble halls of great ma%gnifcence, we
must give some of the progenitors of
the Claypooles the go BY" although
meaning no disrespect, and begin with
Adam-always a pretty safe starting
place. Eve, however, is not in it.
Adam Claypoole married Lady Dor
othy, daughter of Sir Robert Wing
field, and his wife. Elizabeth Cecil. Sis
ter of Lord Burleigh, prime minister Of
England.
1t is through the Wingfields that the
Claypooles nne the long line Of nc
BILE names-to which we may add
Pharamond, Charlemagne, Hugh Ca

The Claypooles lived at Northbor-

The Care Of the REFRIGERATOR.

Nothing can be more dangerous to
the health Of a household than a re.
frigerator carelessly kept.
One of the first essentials is to see
that the drain pipe is not connected
with the house drain, because of the
possibility that sewer gas might come
up the waste pipe into the refrigera.
Tor. At any event it is not desirable
to have the food supply connected
with the house drain.

No other medicine for woman's ills

For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, tibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous p%rostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely

PHILADELPHIA Natural Ice
/ Association of America, including
dealers in natural ice In Philadelphia,
has begun campaign of education"
to inform the public that aged ice is
free from bacteria.
Bacteria are the little wigglers in
water that get into the insides of PEG
pie and often give them typhoid, diph-
iberia and other diseases. A quart of
water contains million or two of
these bacteria. Some of them, not all,
are dangerous to health.
But the natural ice men say-and
they produce scientific argument to
support their assertions-that al
though the bacteria are frozen into
the ice when the water congeals, they
are killed off so rapidly that in "a
hour 80 per cent. of them are dead,
and within few weeks the ice Is
sterile-absolutely free from bacterial
life of any kind.
One Philadelphia natural Ice dealer
said recently: Natural ice is cut in
December. January and February.
Seventy per cent of it is used between
June and September, when it is any
