of thin paper under the rent,
drawing it into perfect shape;
then darn neatly with rawlings
of the material. If one has no
pieces of the material these can
sometimes be obtained from the
raw edges of the skirt cores. A
French patch is made without
turning the edge under. The
piece is smoothly fitted in and a
piece of thin paper basted on.
The edges of the patch are then
darned with very fine stitches.
Always press a darn carefully
after finishing it.

BANKERS AID RURAL LIFE.
State and Federal Help Urged In This
Direction. -

State and Federal Help Urged In This
Direction. -
Resolutions providing for changes in
the conditions of rural life in this
country. which it was stated would
decrease the burdens and increase the
opportunities Of the farmer and his
family, were adopted at the third an
nual meeting of the committee of agri-
cultural development and education of
the American Bankers association.
Vocational training in the public
schools. plans to make the marketing
of farm products easier and more
profitable and federal aid to make
farm demonstration work more gen
eral throughout the country were
among the things urged.
The resolutions in part follow:
Our committee. being especially con-
cerned with agriculture and instrUc-
ton in that line in the country schools.
realizes that it needs and must have
the largest measure of aid to the end
that the country boys and girls may
be placed on an equal footing with
those in town. Therefore we urge both
state and federal aid in this direction.
"As farm demonstration work
through local or country demonstrators
has proved to be the most practical
and effective means of improving
framing methods and as the govern
ment has contributed thousands OF
dollars toward such work in certain
states and little or nothing in others.
We indOrse and earnestly urge legis-
latiOn on the part of congress that will
provide generous federal aid in all
the states for such work"

WINTER FEED FOR FOWLS.

An ample as well as a varied supply
of green feed to hens during the win

fowls It's value does not lie in the
amount of nutriment it contains. but

more when fed green food than other.

Nearly all the common vegetables
are relished by fowls. and they should
be fed at regular intervals Mangels

bage is good food; the hens like it.
and it does not flavor the egg. Tur-
nips are an excellent vegetable for

How is Your Boiler?

1t has been stated that a mans
stomach is his boiler, his body is his
engine and his mouth the fire box. Is
your boiler (stomach) in good working
order.or is it so weak that it will not
stand full load and not able to sup
ply the needed energy to your engine
(body)? If you have any trouble with
your stomach, Chamberlain's Tablets
will do you good. They strengthen and
invigorate the stomach and enable it
to do it's work naturally. Many very
remarkable cures of stomach trouble
have been effected by them. For sale

A Parable on Tobacco.

bacco seed. which though exceed
ingly small, was cast into the
earth and sprang up and grew
until it became a great and
mighty plant and shot forth rank
and broad leaves on every side
insomuch that huge and vile
worms found a habitation there
on.
And it came to pass that the
sons of men looked upon the plant
and thought it beautiful, and ex-
ceedingly desirable to make lads
look big and and manly. And so
they did put forth their hands
and did take and chew the same.
And some it made sick. and some
it made drunken, and others it
caused to vomit most filthily.
And it came to pass that they
were all taken with a great and
mighty splitting, insomuch that
they did spit even in the ladies'
parlorS and in the House of the
Lord of Hosts. And it further
came to pass that they became
weak and unmanly insomuch that
they said: I'VE can not quit this
chewing; we are erslaved."
But others took of the plant
and cunningly wrought it into
rolls and did set fire to one end
thereof, and did suck vehement
ly at the other end and did look
exceedingly grave and calf-like,
and the smoke of their torment
ascendeth up forever and ever.
And still others took Of the
plant and did grind in into fine
powder, and did stow the same
away in bottles and boxes, and it
came to pass that the matrons
and the fair maidens of the land
did procure these bottles and
boxes, and did take sticks and
did chew one end thereof, and
did thrust the same into the fine
and did rub vehemently
across their front teeth and the
yellow juice did run down the
corners Of their mouths.
And it came to pass that the
traffic in tobacco became a great
and mighty business in the earth,
insomuch that the merchants
waxed rich thereon. And it came
to pass that even the poor took
the money with which they should
buy bread, and shoes and books,
and clothing for their children,
and did spend it for tobacco.
And the thing displeased the
Lord, and He said unto them
Turn from your denominations
and from your filthiness, cease
your putting, splitting, and chew
ng, convert your tobacco fields
nto wheat-felds and stop all this
waste"
And they all with one consent |
,ried out and said: eve can not;
We are enslaved."
