Hairy Netcn.

In the latitude of New York. hairy
vetch remains green all winter and is
eagerly eaten by birds and animals at
that time. I think 1t valuable ra-
ton for fowls in winter If sown in
August the vetch grows until late into
winter and in the following spring
produces a mass of beautiful flowers
and heavy crops of little peas.
The plant if not cut will self sow;
the seeds sprout where dropped in
August and repeat this process year
after year. In some soils the hairy
vetch has a tendency to become dom
lnant, running out grass and weeds.
The seed can be obtained from any of
the large dealers. says a writer in an
exchange The plant grows well, al
though neglected and it trails upon
the ground but for winter feeding of
fowls or animals it can be trained up
on brush like peas, where it will stand
above the snow.

Churches and Tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi-
nary church congregation have been
issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis. From reports received from
over 725 churches, with a membership
of over $4,000 communicates Of
twenty denominations, and from POS
cities and towns in 10 states in vari-
Gus parts of the country, out of nearly
1000 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10
per cent, were caused by tuberculosis.
This means 224 deaths for every thou
sand members or communicates.
While the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis
eases is not higher in the churches
according to these figures, than in tho
country at large, the tuberculosis
death rate, as shown by the church
returns, is higher per thousand COM
municants than that for the general
population in the registration area Of
the United States, which the census
bureau gave as 81 in 1909.

When Lovely Woman Phones.

Business will be held up in this
drug store for the next ten minutes"
growled the impatient man. Even
the prescription clerk Is holding his
breath. Two good-looking women are
getting ready to use the telephone.
That is why. When a handsome
woman talks over an open telephone
everybody within earshot takes a va
cation and listens. A plain woman
might talk half day and nobody
would pay any attention, but a good
looking woman at a public telephone
draws a bigger crowd than the presi
dent of the United States. Everybody
takes it for granted that she is going
to say something worth hearing and
they become vitality interested"
"If you are in such big hurry"
said the impatient mans companion,

Chicago that in some
districts of Chicago 81 per cent. of the
school children have decayed teeth
and that bad teeth cause criminal in
stincts, research committee of the
Chicago Dental society today made an
appeal for the establishment of a fund
of $4,000 to establish dental clinics in
the schools and for the school children
of Chicago.
The report of the committee char
acterizes the condition as alarming
and dangerous. Attention of city Of
ficials, as we'll as dentists and philan-
thropic citizens, is urged TO start a
city-wide movement to have the school
children given DENIAL treatment.
This MEANS says the report, that
unless something is done to ameliorate
the condition there are ninety-seven
out of every 100 school children who
are to be handicapped in their efforts
to make for themselves an honorable
place in the world"
Several well-known Chicago philan-
thropists already have pledged sums
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 toward
the fund

the temperature should not go above

will be in a large measure destroyed
