YOUNG WOMAN
GOT HER EGGS


A young lady living in small city
had impaired her health by too con,
filming work in city office, says
Christian Herald. Her physician or.
dered her to sanitarium for rest and
upbuilding, and when she returned to
work he instructed her to eat four
fresh-laid eggs daily; two eggs for
breakfast, and the others raw, in milk
Finding it difficult to obtain depend
ably fresh eggs, she persuaded her
mother to permit her having a small
flock In the home yard. A portable
house was purchased and fifteen pull.
lets installed In It. A small brother
waszpaid 10 cents week to feed and
care for the flock, two bags Of ready
mixed food were bought. and the re.
suit of the venture was not only all
the eggs the young lady needed and a
supply for the family, but there was a
surplus which found ready market
at the corner drug store, bringing 10
cents a dozen above the market price.

STRONG PLEA FoR PARKWAY
Los Angeles Newspaper Condemns =
Proposed Plan as Not IN inter
ests 81 Economy.

w. It. Humphreys Of the Los An
geles board Of public works has gone
on record as favoring narrower drive
ways In strictly residential districts,
and would lessen the street width and
widen the parkways Of many now ex-
lstent. This from a purely economic
view Of the matter. says the Examiner
Of that city Narrow streets cost less
to build and less to maintain than
wide ones and when there are to be, or
are paved such initial cost and up
keep Is no small expense.
But there is another side to the
question. the esthetic view of the
matter. How may we have beautiful
streets with but narrow green rib
bon along each side from Is to So
inches wide? Such paucity of park
way does not In the least influence the
appearance of the street All that may
be said for 1t Is that street trees may
be planted therein, though they can
not remain In vigorous health and
beauty except for their youthful years.
1t may be possible for q tree to sur
vive for many years under such hard
conditions, but what about them in
so or rs years, at the time when they
should be most impressive, The
trunks will then have filled any or.
binary parkway from curb to walk
Shall we then cut them out or shall
we cut large half-circle out Of the
cement sidewalk and also narrow the
driveway three or more feet on each
side by moving each curb toward the
middle of the street? Would 1t not be
better to start right and have fine Wig
orous, healthy trees for all time and
rest assured of their enduring cen
turtles, to the. continued Identification
Of our city? When shall we correct
admittedly wrong conditions? Do II
now.

pounds of corn. Begin with a light
ration and work up gradually to the
maximum. They should be ready to
market the latter part Of July
Prime corn-fed cattle are scarce
during the summer, as most of the
feeders in the lots are finished and
shipped out before this time The
packers must have cattle With some
finish, and they pay good price to
get them. Coming ON the market at
this time, the steers fed on grass will
bring almost as good a price as stock
fed full grain ration in dry lot.
The success OF this plan OF feeding
Is due to the low price at which the
cattle can be bought and the thin con-
dition Of the animals coming In the
common class Of feeders. Making eco
nomical gains Is not breed but q
type characteristic Often the best
and poorest gains made are by indi-
viduals Of the same breed
Less labor is required with summer
feeding. The cattle gather their
roughage, and the manure produced
by them is distributed, and evenly. In
winter, dry-lot-feeding steerA are fed

and to s pounds Of hay apiece. when

The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious Illness. makes q chemical anal

that unless the kidneys are doing

When the kidneys are neglected or
abused In any way. serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics. Bright's Disease, which 10

a few straight ones. IN following a
straight street we are impressed with
