HOW TO SELECT AND
 OPERATE AN INCUBATOR

at 1O1 1-2 to 102 F. the. first week, luz to 1O3 F. the second week, and lOo E. the last week; while a hanging ther- mometer is operated at about 1O2 to 102 1-2 F. the first two weeks, and 103 F. the last week.
 The eggs tend to throw off more heat as they developed, so that oc- casionally the regulator needs to De changed slightly, but it should not be changed any more than is absolutely necessary. The temparature of the egg chamber may be lowered Dy lowering the flame of the lamp in the middle of the day. Regulate the ln- cubator before opening the door to tend to the eggs. Most operators tend to- their machines two Or three times daily.
 Causes of Poor Matches.
 The cause of poor hatches is a much discussed question, which de- bends oa great variety of circum- stances. A poor hatch is more apt to be due to the condition of the eggs previous to matching than to incu- bation, although improper handling of either factor will produce the same results. When eggs fail to hatch see whether the breeding stock is kept under condition which tend to produce strong fertile germs in the -eggs, if the eggs have been handl- ed properly before incubation, and whether the conditions were right during incubation, as judged by the time of the hatch.
 A daily temperature record should be kept of each machine. The oper- ator can thus compare the tempera- ture at which the machines have beel kept, which may prove valuable in the future work, especially if the brooder records can be checked back against those of the incubator.
 Every poultry raiser who contem- plates setting up an incubator is ad- vised to write for the new bulletin, to the United States Department ol Agriculture, Washington, D. c. Among other details it has paraghaphs on moisture and ventilation, testing eggs and disinfecting and storing iIcuba tors.

Art of Memory.

The best way to remember thing Is thoroughly to understand it and oft en to recall it to mind. By reading continually with great attention, and never passing a passage without un. derstanding and considering it well, the memory will be stored with knowl- edge, and things will occur at times when we want them, though we can uever recollect the passage or from whence we draw our ideas.

SORE EYES CAUSED BY FACE
 POWDER.

Face powder has it's dangers the same as gunpowder. For several years occasional cases have come under the observation of oculists in which the patients, invariably women, complain of vision being blurred, inability to use the eyes for any length of time and severe itching of the lids. The slightest rubbing of the lid produces a marked redness of the eyes and only aggravates the itching. In severe cases the lids are frequently swollen from constant rubbing. There is a sticky, elastic secretion which, when being removed, pulls out in long strips. Microscopic examination oi the secretion reveals masses of what appear to be crystals
 Until recently no satisfactory ex- planation of the presence of these crystals in the eye has been given. Coercion taken from the eyes of two sisters suffering from this peculiar complaint were submitted to the pro- lessor of pathology of One of the uni versity medical schools, who found that the crystals came from rice face powder. Seven other patients in which the same symptoms and micro scopic conditions were found all used the same make of face powder
 When the powder is applied to the face with a puff a portion of the fine dust is driven upward and lodges on the moist eyeball. The rice powder in the presence of the tears then be- comes mucilagiaous in character and is not washed from under the eyelids The powder produces the irritation which is aggravated by rubbing. Those who use a chamois-skin ir applying the powder are less liable to cause the fine dust to arise, which probably accounts for the condition not being found in every woman using face powder.
 The condition is quickly relieved by flushing the eyes with boric acit solution. The irritation rapidly dis appears when the eyes are kept wash
 ed out with a soothing eye-wash.

SCHOOL CHILDREN PROBLEMS

School children who are taught in fresh air class rooms advance more rapidly in their studies and make greater improvement in weight and strength than children in regular class rooms, said Frank H. Mann, of New York, before the sociological sec tion of the National Association for the study and prevention of Tubercu- losis here today.
 Mir. Mann reported on a series of experiments carried jointly by the New York committee on the proven tion of tuberculosis and the board of education in which three groups ot children were studied to note the ef- feet of fresh air upon them. h one group the children were placed In fresh air classes and were fed during the school hours with milk and crackers morning and afternoon; in the second group the children were placed in fresh air classes but were not fed; and in the third group, the children were left in the ordinary class room under regular conditions Every effort was made to eliminate or equalize in the comparison such valu- able factors as age, home conditions, physical condition, school condition nativity, etc. The two groups of children nthe fresh air classes were all under nourished and anameic at admission.
 The results of this experiment eX- tending from September to June, showed that all of the poorly nourlsh- ed anaemic children in the fresh air classes gained i2 weight, red cor puscles in the blood, general nutri- tion, and physical tone. Tine gains were made for the most part inde- pendently of the home environment and of the financial conditions of the childrens family suggesting that the association between poverty and malnutrition in school children is not so close as has been commonly as sumed and that cases of extreme poverty with lack of necessary food at home are not nearly so prevalent as has frequently been stated. 1t was also demonstrated that, even without school feeding fresh air classes can bt run with advantage to the children of poor families, although the greatest benefit was obtained where extrs feeding of children was employed. MT Mann also concluded from comparl' son of results in the normal or "con troll" classes with those of the fresf air classes, that usual conditions O. living iE North during cold weather have tendency to produce anaemis and lowered physical tone.

Actors Don't Use Walking stIcks.

There is one profession that has al. ways refrained from carrying walk ing stick The actor knows we'll that on the stage he must walk without extraneous support, and he knows that the mere hint of a walking stick in his hand as he walks the streets is a temptation to lean this way or that. Actors, even when out of a job, never lean on stick. They know that their balanced walk is their asset. If the whole of society recurs to walking sticks the actors will refrain.

INE BLUFF ROGRESS
 ROsPERITY
THE THINNING GRAY LINE

It is a fine sentiment, doubtless, that prompted the members of united Sons of Confederate Veterans 10 table "by an overwhelming majority d proffered resolution memoriallzlng congress to pension Confederate vet erans, and it doubtless sounded well for former Commander William Old to say he would rather take off his coat and work for the old soldier rather than ask or accept money from the United States government in be- half of the veterans, but
 Were the sons doing right by the fathers when they took such acton: It is doubtful if the federal govern ment could be induced to pension the veterans of the Confectionery, but II there is a chance to secure this ald for the old soldiers it should be taken. This is the opinion of some whose fathers also were the gray.
 There is no question that some ot the old veterans are in need Of more assistance than they are receiving. Will MT. Old make good" his promise to struggle for these? Having refused to start movement that might make the last days of the old warrlors more comfortable what do the sons intend doing to make up for the defl- ciency?
 That federal pensions would not come amiss is emphasized by the re- port of Adiutant-General Wm. E. Mickle who notes that one entire dl- vision was dropped from the rolls be- cause of the number of camps having fallen below the constitutional re- uuirements. Of course the members of some of these camps died but others were dropped for failure to pay dues. Twenty-eight camps were dropped for non-payment of dues during the past year. There is only one reason why a Confederate veter- an does not pay his local camp dues: want of the money.
 It sounds fine to say we will not have Confederate veterans helped by pension from the national govern meat. but is it right is it just to the old soldier. Is it fair to refrain from obtaining aid from the federal govern ment for him and then not make up the deficiency?
 There would be no impropriety in Confederate veterans accepting pens ions from the national government, : although the situation might be somewhat incongruous. It would not be accepting money from foe, for this is united country; it would not be obtaining money to which they are not entitled, but getting back some of their own money. The South is pay ing its share of the national revenues. And to our mind, the Confederate vet erans might just as well receive pensions from the national govern ment as the South be forced to help pay the pensions of Union soldiers, something it has been doing these many years; something it will con tinue doing for years.
 This may be "pook" barrell logic, but our policy is that it is better to feed and present flowers to the living than to eulogize and erect monuments to the dead Sentiment is the finest thing in the world, but sometimes one mistakes something else for senti- ment. The best way to honor the old Confederate veteran is to insure hi-i comfort during the winter of his age. &o-----
