A dear old lady who was very ''sot'
In her prejudices was asked just why
I size didn't like certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had beer
so emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out oil
the window and saw him passing by
He carried neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as flash she answered her
questioner, He carries an umbrella

But" said her friend, also looking
out OF the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an UNI
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. "But
that's another matter don't like him
anyhow-an besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said good many unkind things
about 1t and in each instance have had
It proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of it's refreshing
righteousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that it contains. They looked upon
that as splendid argument against it..
Then, like the old lady who was remind,
ed of son William. they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages. tea and coffee, (even more
than in Coca-Co1a) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism of
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say "But that's another
matter'-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and 1ik-
ing tea or coffee. it all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them--for
caffeine is caffeine, and if it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it is
really helpful in whatever it is-this
is bound to include Coca-Cola
Of course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on1false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all. they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all. it all depends on who carries the

to be unfair. Let US be fair.-Adv.

2. Because, with intelligent man
agement they ought to be all-year

ton Of possibly two months during the
moulting season
3. Because the poultry win yield
him a quicker return for the capital
invested than any OF the other de-

5. Because, while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in GER
tain sections, poultry can be raised
for table use or layers of eggs in any
and every part of the country, and at
all seasons.
4 8. Because poultry raising is an
employment in which the farmers
wife can engage and leave him free
to attend to other departments Of
farm work.
Z. Because it will bring the best re-
suits in the shape Of neW-laid eggs
during the winter season, when the
farmer has the most time on his
hands.
\ 5. Because to start poultry on the
farm requires very little capital.

It Is nourished on pigeons milk" !
have never known OF a pair of pigeons
that would begin breeding or even pre-
pairing nest for q second family I'M
Til after these youngsters were begin
ming to take ordinary feed instead of
this pigeon milk OF course, the old
birds feed the young during their en-
tire life as squads, or until they are
able to leave the nest, and often they
feed them for a few days on the floor.
Eight or nine pairs of squads are all
that can be expected from pair of
breeders during a year, and such
breeders are very hard to find.
In order to avoid dark skinned
squads it is advisable not to breed
from birds that have very dark legs or
beaks. Many amateurs have an idea
I that bird with black plumage is more
likely to be dark-skinned than white
feathered bird u.s.. but this is not the
case. as some of the whitest-skinned
squads that have been produced were
from black pigeons.
It is to be regretted that disease is
0OCOulu6 AlOEC COmtuUu among QlS0-
ons. In most cases disease will be
found in lofts where birds have not
had proper attention, or where they
are SO housed as to weaken their vi
tally or that of their offspring. The
life of a breeding bird is generally
considered to be ton years, but there
are very few pigeons that will pay for
their feed after the seventh year and
It is seldom that they will leave any
profit after the fifth year. During the
second and third years they are sup
posed to be in their prime
For this reason, in figuring on a
dock of pigeons. it should be remem-
bered that they have practically
passed their usefulness in six or seven
years, and therefore one-sixth or one
seventh of their original cost should
be charged against them each year so
that at the end of the time mentioned
they will have paid for themselves.

Well Kept Eyebrows
Add Greatly to the
General Appearance

Women and girls know that the eye
brows are often ruined by dust when
motoring or by exposure to the sun,
all of which dries them to such an
extent that the glands are unable to
nourish the hair roots.
If your brows are getting thin, strag-
ely or losing their natural gloss you
have reason to suspect something has
happened to them and every effort
should be made to better the condition
by feeding the roots.
In this treatment one of the first
essentials is to keep the brows thor
oughly clean. This means more than
superficial washing, for while mere
dust may be loosened, 1t cannot be
taken out, and 30 the pores get
choked. Many pretty eyebrow has
been hopelessly ruined by just being
neglected, and its owner probably did
not know why, because many women
do no more for the eyebrows than
to wash them when performing the
daily additions.

bland soap which contains pure oil.
either olive oil or CASTLE, are good.
The soap should be liquid. the water
tepid and, after dipping the brush into
the water. then into the soap, Wig
orous scrubbing should follow. Scrub
down into the roots. Rinse several
times to make sure that all the soap Is
removed. A good way is to thorough
ly cleanse the brush, freeing 1t from
soap and then scrub the brows with
clear, clean water, otherwise the roots
and pores become clogged. just as
those do on the head, when the hair
has not been properly rinsed after
shampoo.
Always when coming In from the
summer wind the brows should be
given a gentle but thorough brushing
