Orphans for Adontion

Tn a recent issue of the Corner some one asked for the address of a Prot astant
 orphanage from which a child might be adopted It las just occurred to me that you may have others who would like to
 know of an orphanage. It is supported by
 voluntary contributions from those who
 know of Its excellent work. No child can
 be adopted from this home unless the
 new home is a Christian one and the fos-
 ter parents are suitable to rear the child
 and bring it, if possible, into d fine, self-reliant manhood or womanhood The
 orphanage has been thoroughly investi-
 gated and is doing wonderful work in
 preventing these little lives from be-
 coming human wrecks. I am writing to
 the superintendent of the home asking
 him for general information concerning
 it. In the issue where a list of homes for
 aged women was asked, would add that there is an excellent one in my town. Both men and women arc admitted. There are also in this state two homes Tor women. None of these addresses may be available, but may be kept for fu- ture use. God speed the Corner in it's good work! MARY r. H." For obviously reasons I nave withheld the names and locations of the benove- lent institutions so admirably described in the foregoing letter. It conveys most valuable information to a large class of inquirers for whose benefit the lons com ! munication is published. The Corner stands ready to give addresses and any other particulars relative to the matters spoken of In this letter. We feel that the publication is highly expedient in the present state of financial and domestic A Afcfr 1UlA mt.

HELPING HAND HINTS
Fly MARION KIRKLAND For Colds in Canaries

Mrs. J. P. S.. pet canary has lost it's beautiful song. and she asks anxiously for advice. She says the cage hung in the window. The bird probably caught cold there, owing to the tiny currents of air from the casing along the panes of glass Especially is this apt to happen when the weather is changeable. If a bird has taken cold its excrement will be watery. feathers will appear rough; it will act 'dumpy' and out of sorts Then the song gradually ceases. If the cold is not attended to immediately it settles and deaelops into asthma, later death Mix red pepper well into the yolk of an egg that has been boiled hard. Place about a teaspoonful on the center of the tray in the case each morning. Meanwhile feed rape seed mostly, using little canary seed. Don't fail to hang piece of raw smoked bacon in the cage Unless the cold is severe one, your bird should brighten up right away and sing within a few days. Fod bad colds, where the bird has not sung in long while. I mix several good things together (rather long to be given in detail here). It rarely fails to cure colds and restore song even In the early
 
 stages Of asthma take good care of my many pets. I can send some of my remedy free to Mrs. J. P. S. or any wom- an who may have need of it for her ca nary. l should be happy to give advice, based upon years of experience on raising canary birds, to any who will send a stamped envelope after getting my ad- dress from you. Also, it will be a pleas ure to correspond in social way with other bird lovers. I think my 10 are the tamest ever, and do many clever and odd things. MRS 10 L..

 Wilde has been copied,' said Miss Anglin, lever since he wrote his first cleverisms.

The Open Column
The Clover Curse.

Editor The Missourian:- Spring is
glorious season with birds, flowers
lovers and grasses. But spring has
one pest that will darken the bright
est sunshine or still the sweetest song
1t is the person who hunts four leaf
clovers.
Do you remember last spring when
you walked with him? You went
along with your head thrown back,
building castles in the fragrant air
and scarcely remembering your COM
panion. Suddenly he drops to his
knees with an "Ohl"
"Did you stick a thorn in your
foot?" you ask sympathetically.
"No," he answers, frantically
clawing the tiny green things before
him. Il am hunting four leaf clo-
yer, 1 haven't found one this spring"
In three minutes he rises and says
cheerfully "Come on, we'll probably
find more clover on the road" Your
castle have tumbled, and you are
rather sulky, but the sky is brilliant
and you begin to hum "The years at
its spring." when your companion
bounds up the hillside and shoutss
Here's a big bed. There's sure to
be one here"
For five minutes you shift from one
foot to the other and look longingly
down the path. He scrambles up and
smiles. Il never saw four leaf clo-
vers SO scarce"
as it a life and death matter?" you
inquire gently.
sNo, but it's such fun to find them.
Last spring I found seventeen. /
pressed them all in book and wrote
the date and the place where I found
each Of them"
Your walk is spoiled. The only con-
you have is in thinking up
perdition for the bore, where four
leaf clovers grow SO profusely that he
will have to pull clovers with might
and main through out eternity to keep
from being buried alive in them.
