TO DESTROY INJURIOUS LICE
Ten Drops of Pennyroya Added to
Tablespoonful of Olive Oil Will
Prove Effective.

Grease is recommended for lice, but
chicks abhor it, and it should not be
used unless it is absolutely necessary.
Never use coal oil on young chicks,
for it is irritating and likely to scald
the flesh.
If the large lice are found on the
chicks, sweet oil will answer the pu.
pose just as well, and the chicks will
not mind it as much. Ten drops Of
pennyroyal may be added to a largo
tablespoonful of olive oil. With the
finger rub one or two drops we'll un.
der the wings and down the head
and neck Of the chicks. The small
lice may be got rid of easily, but the
large gray ones stick very close and
are hard to get off.
The large lice will kill the young
chicks, and the owner never knows
what the trouble is. They are hard to
discern, and will suck blood from
the little fellows until their vitality
is exhausted, when they die. Watch
the young chickens very closely, and
do not allow them to be pestered
with the large lice, nor the small
ones, either, for they also will do a
great deal of harm in many ways.

seems to be different from the ordi

In districts where they have trouble
with their hogs mixing with their
neighbors' hogs, since the mulefoot
is easy to tell from any other breed
on account of their solid feet. For
this reason 1 advise breeders not to
sell to any of their immediate neigh
bors if possible. This one point is
worth hundreds of dollars in case of
disputes about hogs when they get
mixed. Since there are so few herds
in the country it prevents any one
driving off your hogs if you have this
breed A great many suppose that
they come from the wild hog, but
find them very gentle and easy to
handle.
Claims are made by breeders of the

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

How often do you read any poetry!
A modern English essayist has recently
announced his conviction that many ex'
cellent persons IL they were confronted
with the alternatives Of reading PARADISE
Lost and going around Trafalgar square
at MONDAY on their knees In sackcioth
would choose the ordeal of public r1dl'
Guile"
fancy that statement is trif1e strong,
and yet 1 certainly agree with the under
lying belief that very few people nova
days care to read poetry.
Again 1 ask. How often do you read
poetry
over one of the little agaZine poelnlets
that take perhaps a half minute to read,
but how often do you sit down and read
poetry as YOU would read novel or a
newspaper half an hour or an hour at a
time?
What difference does 1t make, you say,
whether you do or not?
My friend the essayist has undoubted-
ly heard you say that. for he is all ready
poetry, he says. because imaginative
poetry is the highest form of literature.
1t yields the highest form Of pleasure
and teaches the highest form Of wisdom
In a word, there is nothing to compare
with it."
He makes these remarks in the course
of little book telling the ordinary bust
ness man how. despite the demands OF
business and social life, he can still keep
on feeding his mind instead Of letting II
die Of starvation. He wants the business
man to save six or seven hours q week
for this purpose, and one of the ways In
which this time Is to be employed is In
reading poetry.
This man is one of the foremost men
Of letters. and one OF the most brilliant
men In England.
Nor is he just dreamer.
On the contrary. he Is a man OF affairs,
very busy man, and he knows how to
talk TO other busy men.
He also is q man with definite ideas.
He doesn't just say read poetry" and
let II go at that. Here is his more def
mite outline for the willing-to-be poetry
reader:

SARTORIAL HINTS.
Rv Elizabeth Lee.

What pretty materials one sees for chill
dren's wear this year!
saw q new coloring among the kim
dergarten cloths today that I thought
exceedingly smart
It was a narrow stripe, ivory, red and
military blue alternating. Made up per-
fectly plain, with a little white butcher
linen or pique as a relief and a belt Of
white buckskin or black patent leather
as a finish, 1 can imagine a small bru-
nette looking very smart.
Equally becoming to the blond child
were the soft reseda colorings mixed
with white, also the blue-grays. The
wistaria tones were also very attractive,
but I always fancy this is rather an
old color for children. Reds were, of
course, in evidence. Though by no means
heavy, the kindergarten cloths are most
girls clothing, but also small boys suits.
It comes thirty-six inches wide and
costs 25 cents yard at any dry goods
house.
Another good wearing fabric is col
ored madras. 1t is soft. yet strong. and
This makes it a desirable fabric for the
first Buster Brown and Russian blouse
suits to be worn by the small boy, also
for the girls school frocks

smart, and this season the colorings
seem prettier than ever. perhaps be-
cause many of the darker colorings are
added. Usually these are confined to
silks and woolens, but this Year it is
possible to get quite dark plaids as
well as the lighter ones.
For afternoon wear the chambrays are
nice and cool without being Impractical.
The new pinks are lovely, running all
the way from coral to watermelon. The
soft blues are seen In q variety OF tones
including cadet and blue gray.
Chambray looks its best made up with
a little embroidery and threadings OF
black velvet, while ginghams and kindred
fabrics lend themselves we'll to some
thing q little more substantial. as plain
giegham trimming plaid. Plain white is
also good.
For best wear dimity is usually chosen.
This year the newest designs appear
rather large for children's use, to my
thinking. though there are plenty OF pat
terms in small effects to choose from.
The rosebud Is always first favorite,
though l fancy even this popular de-
sign has been improved upon this year
by the addition of sprink1mg OF BABY
blue in the shape OF dots among the
fective when they are confined to just a
suggestion Of black, but the tone must
not be overdOne.
The new note in lingerie frocks is
the trimming Of colored buttons The
effect is extremely pretty, whether used
alone or with ribbons to match.
The buttons are used to connect edges
OF a tiny simulated bolerO fashioned
from embroidery edging. also as dec
grafton on the short skirt and as trim
ming In rows down the sleeves
Pale pink buttons and pale pink rib
hons are very successful as a garniture
