MOTHERS Of
DELICATE CHILDREN
Should Read the Following
Letter-Mrs. SIack'S Story
About Her Child'S Recovery
Is Entirely Reliable.

Palmyra, Pa.-"Three years ago my
little girl had black measles which left
her with a chronic cough and so awfully
thin you could count all her ribs, and she
coughed so much she had no appetite.
"Nothing we gave her seemed to
help her at all until one day Mrs. Neibert
told me how much good Vinol had done
her little girl, so | decided TO try it for
my little one, and it has done her so much
good she is hungry all the time, her
cough is gone, she is stouter and more
healthy in color ana this is the first win
ter she has been able to play out in the
snow, coasting and snow-balling without
any i'll effects. Mrs. ALFRED SLACK,
Palmyra, Pa.
We know Vinol will build up your
little ones and make them healthy,
strong and robust, therefore we ask
parents of every frail and sickly child
in this vicinity to try bottle of Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic
without oil.
If we can induce you to try a bottle
of Vinol as body-builder and strength
creator for your child, and you do not
find it is all we claim, we will return
your money on demand.

To Produce Good Market Eggs

No ration should be made wholly of
grain, but should contain with the
grain a mixture Of bran, shorts and
beef scraps or skim milk. Green food
of some kind, grit and oyster shell
should always be handy. A male bird
is not necessary for the production of
eggs, hence should be removed from
the flock at the end of each breeding
season, in order to insure infertile
eggs, which keep better and are very
desirable upon the market.
In order to meet a demand for first
class eggs they should weigh one and
one-half pounds to the dozen, be uni
form in size, naturally clean, not
washed, strong shelled and fresh. A
fresh egg is one that was laid by
healthy hen, gathered fresh and kept
but few days in desirable surround
ings. Age causes ain egg to become
stale and shrunken, and it can never
be classed as a fresh egg. Heat seri-
ously affects the quality of eggs, and
in warm weather they should be gath
cred daily and marketed as often as
possible. Moisture causes molds TO
develop and quickly changes the quail
ity of the egg. Dirty eggs must be
handled as second grades; washed
eggs are just as bad.
1t is not desirable to keep eggs any
length of time before marketing, al
though it sometiems becomes neces-
sary to do so. When it is necessary a
cool, dry cellar should be used and
the eggs kept in some receptacle, such
as an egg case, that will prevent them
becoming broken or stained. Only
eggs that are properly handled can be
accepted by egg buyers as frst-class
stock.

The dolcette, which is probably one

Orchard and Garden

Thin the fruit if it needs it; this is
a better paying method than propping
branches.
Place a two-pound paper bag over
each bunch of grapes when the fruit
is the size of small shot. This protects
the grapes from insects and bird in
jury, and insures extra-choice clusters.
Fasten the mouth of the bag close
about each stem, with pin, or wire
or string.
Look out for the blighted twigs and
branches on pear trees. No remedy is
known for this bad disease, except TO
cut out the infected parts promptly
and burn them. Be sure to cut well
below the diseased wood. Disinfect
the pruning implement by dipping it
frequently in strong solution of car
bolic acid.

EVERYBODY CAN CANDLE eggs
Uncle Sans Colored Chart Will Help
You Tell How Fresh They Are

You Tell How Fresh They Are
To enable farmers and housewives
TO test eggs before a candle and tell
accurately their condition before they
are opened, the Department of Agri-
culture has just published a coiored
egg-candling chart. To give true pic
ture of the eggs, twelve impressions
were necessary to produce this litho-
graphed chart.
This chart shows the eggs in their
natural size as they appear before a
candle, and also as they look when
open in a glass saucer. The pictures
include an absolutely fresh egg,
slightly stale eggs, decidedly stale
eggs, eggs with yolks sticking to the
shell, eggs where the chicken has de-
veloped so far that blood has been
formed, moldy eggs, added eggs, and
eggs with a green white.
Comparatively few housewives are
aware thath a green color in the white
of eggs is due to the presence OF bill
lions and billions of a certain species
of bacteria that make a green coloring
matter. Eggs with this gTeenish tint,
even though the yolks seem to be per-
feet, are not fit for food
AS long as the Departments sup
ply lasts these charts will be furnished
free upon application to the Editor
and Chief, Division Of Publications.
Commercial shippers of eggs, how
ever, should apply for Department Bull
letin 81, technical paper on testing
by scientific methods not available to
the average farmer. This bulletin in
cludes the colored illustrations. This
chart alon will be found to be not
merely of great service to the house
wife wishing to test the eggs she is to
serve to her own family, but also OF
commercial value to farmers, country
merchants or egg shippers who wish
to buy and handle eggs on an accurate
quality basis.
The great spoilage of eggs in this
country is due to bad handling, and
is quite unnecessary. Part of the rem
edy is to teach everybody, from the
farmer to the consumer, how to tell
the quality Of an egg without break
ing the shell. The country buyers, the
middlemen and the housewife judge Of
the quality of the inside of a cucum-
Der or an eggplant, or any other vege-
table, by the appearance of the out
side and the firmness of its texture.
1t is not possible TO tell the quality Of
an egg by looking at the shell, though
it is safe to say that the eggs with
shiny shells are apt to be aged.
fresh egg looks as though it had been
busted with a very fine powder; the
"bloom," as the egg men say. But in
order to know what is inside the shell
the egg must be held in front OF
strong light-such as an electric bulb
furnishes-whichC comes through hole
about one and one-quarter inches in
diameter The room must be dark.
When the egg is held close against the
hole the bright light renders its con-
tents visible, and the quality is indi-
Gated by the appearance of the yolk.
the white, and the air space at the
blunt end. There are many egg can
dies on the market, but the housewife
can easily make one for herself by cut
ting a hole in a small pasteboard box,
which is slipped over an electric light
bulb. If gas or an oil lamp is the
source of light tin box or can should
be used.

THE FARMER HIT BACK.
Beat the Jollying Students in Clash
Of Wits.


1t is told of ex-President Hayes,
that while attending school at Kenyon
College, he was in the habit of taking
daily walks into the country. These
trips were shared by two intimate COM
panions who were of a fun-loving dis
position which frequently got them
into trouble. On one occasion they
met their match at repartee in an old
farmer whom they met on the high
way. The long white beard of the
farmer gave him patriarchal appear
ance. and while he was approaching
the students they arranged TO give
him 'jollying." One of them dotted
his hat with great reverence and re-
spect as he said Good Morning,
Father Abraham" The second sa-
luted the farmer and said, Good
Morning. Father Isaac" Mr.. Hayes,
not to be outdone in affability and
politeness, extended his hand as he
said, Good Morning, Father Jacob"
Ignoring the outstretched hand of Mr..
Hayes, the farmer replied. Gentle
men. you are mistaken in the man. |

SONG OF THE TREE.

Once out Of midnight sweet with mys-
terry
The wonder Of all wonders came to be,
So shall the dawn a marvel make Of me.
For when In all my beauty am born
In the first glimmer Of the Christmas
morn,
Angels Of innocence in mortal guise
Shall look upon me with their faithful
eyes:
And, looking, see
A greater thing In mo
Than the bare figure Of q tree.
Behold! In every limb
thrill with praise Of him
For whom stand In memory.
Kings of the east and wise men three
there were
Who brought to him rare franlkincense
and myrrh.
So do my balsamed branches when they
stir
In the warm airs that move about this
room,
And render forth their homage in per-
Lift up your hearts anew. o. careworn
men!
And, looking. see
A greater thing in me
Than the bare figure Of q tree
Behold! In every limb
I thrill In praise OF him
For whom stand in memory.

why We Hang Up Stockings.


The custom Of hanging up the stock
ing on Christmas eve arose from an
incident In the life Of the good st.
Nicholas. One day when he was over
taken by q severe storm he took refuge
in convent, and the next day being
Christmas he preached sermon to
the nuns which they liked so much
that they asked him to come the next
year and preach to them again. On his
second visit, which was also on
Christmas eve, before going to bed he
asked each of the nuns to lend him a
stocking, and he filed the stockings
with sugar plums.
In the making Of mince pies, which
form part Of regular Christmas
feast, mutton was the only meat for
merly used, as q commemoration Of the
focks that were watched on the holy
night by the shepherds Of Bethlehem.
The spices were supposed to be sugges.
tive of the wise men from the east, the
land of spices.

THE OLD CHRISTMAS hYMNs.

1t Is good to think Of the old
time Christmas hymns again a.
the Day approaches; good to get
out worn hymn books, the pref
test for the piano rack, with
tunes as well as words, and play
and sing them over, just as we
should re-read, II pleasure and
duty join hands, the story Of
Scrooge and Marley's Ghost.
It Is even good to recall the
titles more or less familiar to all
Of US, according to our bringing
up. There are "Hail to the
Lords Amounted" "As with glad
ness. men Of old did the guiding
star behold" angels from the
realms Of glory" and "Hark,
what mean those holy voices"
each reiterating In rhythmical
melody the story Of the ancient
chrOniclers.
In the little church where the
flaring star poised bit instead
lily over the white head Of the
beloved pastor, ''Oh, come, all ye
faithful" ushered In the day,
and no matter how fast sped the
minutes, how near the approach
Of the dinner hour, or how ex-
pectantly youngsters thought Of
unrifled stockings, II the early
morning service invited them
there was always plenty Of time
for "Joy to the world, the Lord
is come" when marshaled on
the mighty plain" Brightest
and best of the sons Of the morn
Ing" "Hark, the herald angels
sing" cit came upon the mid
night clear" and that best loved
Of all, while shepherds watched
their f1ocks by night"

BULLETIN GIVES DON'T
TO AVOID XMAS FIRES
Don't Use Cotton to Represent Snow
on the Tree nor Candles to
Light II

The holiday fire bulletin, issued an
nually by the National Fire Protec-
tive association of Boston, has made
its appearance in Kennewick with this
list If donts:
DO NOT decorate your Christmas
tree with paper, cotton or any other
inflammable material. Use metallic
tinsel and other non-inflammable dec
orations only, and set the tree Sc
curely so that the children cannot tip
it over.
Do NOT use cotton to represent
snow. If you must have snow use
asbestos fibre.
DO NOT permit children to light
or relight the candles while parents
are not present. They frequently set
fire to their clothing instead.
Do NOT leave matches within
reach of children at holiday time.
Candles are meant to be lighted, and
if the children get matches they will
experiment with them. They initiate
their elders.
DO NOT allow the trees to remain
inside buildings after the holidays.
The tree itself ignites readily when
needles become dry. A large number
Of fires usually occur in January from
this cause.
This is the advice to stores:
Watch smokers. Do not permit them
to light cigars inside of buildings. Do
not make changes in electric wiring
without consulting the electrical in
spector. Watch the gas jets. Deco
rations may be carried against them
by air currents.
Light, inflammable decorations
make fires easy to start and easy to
spread. A match, gas flame or an
electrical defect may do it.

chri.tma. Of th. Shetland l.Iands.

Christmas Of the Shetland Islands.
A scene less populous but not less
striking is old Christmas eve, the 4th
of January, when the children and
young men Of Lerwick, in the Shet-
land islands, go a-guizing. The chill
dren disguise themselves In strange
dresses, parade the streets and invade
the houses and shops begging for offer
ings. At o'clock the young men,
coarsely clad, drag blazing tar barrels
through the town, blowing horns and
cheering. At 6 o'clock In the morning
they put or their grimy clothes and
dressed in fantastic costumes go In
groups to wish their friends the sea-
sons compliments.-Harp Magazine.
