Men Pay Homage

II am not surprised to observe the

Mothers Friend is applied externally
over the abdominal muscles.
1t is a gentle, soothing lubricant, pene-
trates to the fine network of nerves
beneath the skin and has a marked
tendency to relieve the muscular strain
to which these broad fiat abdominal
muscles are subjected. The cords, ten
dons and ligaments are thus permitted to
stretch without the corresponding surface
strain so often involved during the period
of expectation. And particularly to young
mothers is this remedial application OF
inestimable value since in thus keeping
the muscles firm but plant it enables
them to go through the ordeal without

All these women believed themselves
to be good women; they would have
resented an accusation of immortality.
Yet there is an element of i'm

Order was heavens first law, we are

The Great Creator of our solar sys-

There can be no real satisfaction in
the association with a woman who is

No matter if she be a paragon of

an angel of unselfishness in her i'm

woman II her home lacks order, clean

neglects her home. She Is but a few

Unless the home making instinct

The real home-making instinct is
the most needed quality in the femi-
nine world to-day, and it is rarely
met with.
There are countless homes which eX-
hibit the upholsterer's taste and indi-
cate a lavish expenditure of money.
A man recently was describing a
home which had been prepared for a
bride whose husband possessed large
means.
There was not one suggestion of a
HOME in the house." he said lit was
all like cafe or hotel in Paris or New
York"
Great fortunes are not needed to
make home.
Much love. some taste and little
money will produce a home which is a
miniature paradise.
The woman who cares enough about
her abode to give it thought can find
hundred helpful hints in any and
every monthly and weekly periodical
in the land, and with a few simple, in
expensive materials, a few plants, a
cautious approach toward color
schemes. and much care in order and
cleanliness, and prayer always in her
heart that she may found home
which is an expression of love and
peace and comfort for its occupants
she cannot fail.
Once a woman has established such
a home she has found the greatest
career which has ever been opened to
woman or ever will be. She has made
a success of her life.
The disorderly and untidy and un-
comfortable home bespeaks a woman
who is failure in life, no matter what
she may have done. Order is Heavens
first law and woman's first duty.

POULTRY WORLD FROM

CAPO|WZ|NG WAY
TO SWAT ROOSTER
Chicken Steer" Fatten More
Quickly and Attains Larger
Size Than Cockerel

The swat-the-rooster campaign be-
better keeping summer eggs appar-
emily is developing into a search for a
more remunerative way of swatting
Caponizing is that more profitable way.
BOOSTERS at the best do not bring
very high prices. Therefore, swatting
the rooster usually isn't directly profit
able. On the other hand. capons bring
good prices; sometimes fancy prices.
The indication is plain.
capon is an unsexed male bird.
He might correctly be called a
chicken steer" He fattens more
quickly and cheaply and attains a
larger size than the cockerel besides
bringing a much higher price. His
flesh is highly priced and is considered
a great delicacy.
can do 1t. The instruments are few
and simple, the operation seemingly
not painful. But to be humane, prac-
tice on two or three dead birds before
attempting caponizing a live bird.
Healthy birds. one to TWO pounds in
weight, should be chosen. At this par
ticular time nearly every flock has
for caponizing and full instructions
for the work are furnished with the
equipment
Capons usually sell around 18 to 20
cents a pound. Eastern markets pay
the best prices. They sometimes go as
high as 40 to so cents a pound, but
this is unusual.
The larger the capon the better the
price it brings. Ten pounds. never
under eight, is a good size. 1t takes
about ten months to grow a good
capon. Kept longer they weigh as
much as fifteen pounds. Capons are
very tractable.
The larger breeds of chickens make
the better capons. Yellow leg breeds
have an advantage in the appearance
of the draSSed fowl.
