One or Two Litters Per Year?

If food supplies are abundant and

there is no reason why two filters OF

any essential cheap or otherwise vast

The Sun In Winter.

In winter we are 100000 miles near
er the sun than in summer. Some
may think that if this statement is
true we ought to have warmer wealth
er in winter than in summer, but it
must be remembered that the heat we
receive from the sun depends very
much upon the direction of it's rays.
In summer the suns rays are more
vertical than in winter; hence the days
are warmer.

Seeing Around Corners.

There are many insects which have
a very much larger field Of vision than
we have. This is due to the greater
cencavity of their eyes, enabling them
to see around the corner. so to speak,
behind and at the sides. This devel-
opment in man would have it's objec-
tionable points, but also it's good ones,
not the least of which might be the
detection of pickpockets.-Cha

Then came the Madero revolt. The
interests picked Huerta as their F'Villa."
He worked for them we'll, murdered
Madero and seized the presidency. Then
came the Carranza revolt. Again the
interests became busy. Villa was now
their "man." They used him as a leader
and organizer as long as they could, and
when his revolt failed in spite of their
lavish support, they used him as COM

GOOD ADVICE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I am glad to be with you this morning and will send a few things that may prove helpful.
 Don't keep running to the doctor for medicine. All that any medicine can do to the human system is to arouse it to reaction. It operates on a patient the same as a whip on a horse.
 Nature provides all the medicine really necessary in the product of flower, herb and tree to overcome the minor ills of the body and prevent the graver disorders
 For rheumatism, neuralgia or ner- Vous dyspepsia, eat plentifully of eel cry every day.
 For kidney trouble eat plentifuIly of dandeliOns or spinach. You can buy them canned if you neglected to can any.
 To induce precipitation and cleanse the system of impurities, eat aspara . gus.
 For insomnia eat freely of lettuce For a torpid liver eat tomatoes, then sip freely of water between meals
 For coughs, colds and influenza, eat onions
 Cranberries are a splendid remedy for malaria and erysipelas.
 Blackberries are useful in all cases of diarrhoea.
 Lemon juice with sugar and the beaten whites of an egg will relieve hoarseness.
 Figs will overcome constipation. Pie plant will purify the blood. The next time you are sick go tC your cupboard like old MOTHER HUBBARD.

TO CROCHET A RUG.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It was q disappointment to be unable to meet with you on Feb. g; but pleasure to hear about the good time you had.
 My health is much improved: but. even now, I would not care to com pete with Married and Happy in any of her stunts We all enjoy them and it helps to make merry.
 I wish to thank those who sent gifts and cards on Feb. 5.
 Also, the sisters who made up a box of good food and fruit from the Eell-filled tables.
 I think I have to thank Tidy Addly most of all for climbing the hill with her arms full after such a strenuous day.
 May March s be a record breaker for full attendance
 I quite agree with Minnie Hawkins on the rug question. We prefer the braided ones. The largest three strand one I ever made is on our din- ing room floor. It measures 27 feet around, Is OblOng and lays perfectly flat
 Having just crocheted a bathroom rug that iaunders well, we will pass il along to those who prefer crocheting to braiding or knitting: A crocheted Rug:-Make a chain ot 1 50 stitches going back and forth plaiT l for six times: then make a border, any color you wish. l had old outing 1an- mel for the main color and blue calico | for the border. It should be once and | one-half longer than the width. These rugs are quickly made If tht ' rags are sewed on the machine. Be sure and keep count of the | stitches. Just keep the 50. When frying doughnuts just try | this: Have q pan of boiling water neal your kettle of fat. and as soon a! 1 you take a doubtnut out plunge 1t iI | the water it takes the fat of.

THIS VALE OF TEARS.

1 Dear Editor and Corner Folks: wish to pass along this brief sketch so the Sisters may have a chance to gead it:
 Life is a funny proposition: Man comes into this world without his consent and 1eaTras 1t against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunderstanding by the balance of our species.
 In his infancy he is an angel; in his boyhood he is a devil; in his man hood he is everything from a lizard up; in his duties he is a fool; if he raises R family he is a chump; if he raises {. small check, he is a thief and then Che law raises the duece with him.
 If he is a poor man he is a pon manager and has no sense; if he is rich, he is dishonest, but considered very smart.
 If he is in politics he is a grafter and a crook; if he is out of politics, you can't place him. as he Is an un- desirable citizen.
 I1 he goes to church he is a hypo- crite, if he stays away from church, he is a sinner, and damned; if he do- mates to foreign missions. he does it for show; if he doesn't, he Is stingy and tight wad.
 v, When man first came into this world, everybody wants to kiss him before he goes out they all want to kick him.
 If he dies young there was a great futupe before him; if he lives to ripe old age, he is simply in the way and living to save funeral expenses.
 Life is a funny road, but we all like to travel it just the same.

Will remove ink | clean lace, and make an old garment look like new. It is the best cleanser I ever tried. I would not be without it. Have made it for years. KITTY T,OTT

A REMINDER.

Be ye reminded ye rare and radiant maidens," ye dear. lonely batchelor girls. this Is Leap Year. when no wom- an is unwomanly who considers it her privilege to select a life partner If she does not actually propose mar riage she has it in her power to pave the way for such a proposal.
 Whoever claims it iS immodest for woman to thus Tower herself" let them turn the pages of history back to the days of our Mayflower ancestors.
 In the Courtship of Miles S;andish, when the quiet, scholarly John Alden was pleading the cause of his friend. the captain of Plymouth. endeavoring to persuade the Puritan maiden, (Pris- ella Molines) to accept Miles Stan dish's offer of marriage, the modest Priscilla, with eyes overrunning with laughter" replied:
 Why don't you speak for yourself John?"
 Thus did this modest Puritan mai den pave the way for the proposal ot marriage which was to come from the mate of her own choice, for later or we learn that John did speak for him. self

 I wish to thank Ma of Waterford for winter butter making directions. Just what I needed to know as this is my having trouble with the butter.
 I have asked several of my neigh bors how they made the butter come in winter. I was told the milk must be kept at just the right temperature un- til skinned, the cream just ripe right temperature when ready to churn; but how I was to know when they were just right they failed to state.
 Reminds me of when I first went to housekeeping. I asked a friend who was an extra good all round cook how to cook a certain cut of meat, and she replied: T always cook it until 1t Is done" It was certainly a very help full reply to one who had no idea how | to go ahead.

HELPS FOR AMATEUR FOWL
 RAISERS.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends: I know there are a good many among the COrnerites who are interested in poultry raising and 1 am going to mention a few hints and helps, hoping some amateurs may be interested 1 was in the business se-- eral years and you know experience is the best teacher.
 Of course, we all know turkey rais- ing is a very profitable business. but they require constant care. The young poultry are very tender until they are several months old. The best food for them for the first few weeks is sour milk. Put it in a flat pan and sprinkle with buckwheat thickIy They will pick out the grain and, of course, take more OF less of the cla bbered milk which is far better than meal or whole grain.
 It is better to set turkey eggs under common hens, as the turkeys are such ramblers they do not make very care ful mothers. The young should have a good warm shelter and be kept very clean and not allowed to get wet with the early morning dew
 Ducks are very easily raised with the common hens. Their period of in- cubatton is supposed to be four weeks but they sometimes come out two or three days before the time is up and will get out from the nest and gC looking for water. For their first weeks food I take a fiat pan and fill with water and sprinkle thick with chopped corn beef; it should be boiled until very tender and chopped as fine as possible. They are very fond of it and it gives them strength and a good start.
 everybody knows more or less about raising chickens, but they are subject to more diseases than any other fowls some of them are so contagious that as soon as a sick one is dtscov- cred it should be isolated.
 The roup is one of the worst dis eases the poultry raiser has to contend with. It effects them in many differ. ent forms If in the throat, there i: nothing like kerosene. If a bad case pu1 teaspoonful down the throat as soor as possible. A desperate case require: desperate remedies. If not improved in three or four hours repeat with z smaller dose.

POP-OVER'S WAY OF DOING
 THINGS.

Dear Editor and Friends: haven't written for quite a while but as have some very useful hints" for both young and old thought would write them while they were fresh in my mind. All you Sisters and Brothers have heard the old saving. Never leave for tomorrow what can be done today"
 For any who wear shur-on nose classes and are bothered with them in hot weather. moisten the nose under the nose piece and rub on a little powdered rosin. and I know by ex- perience they will not fall off.
 If young ladies especially are both cred with their finger nails, after man. touring by brittleness. or cracking. just rub some vaseline we'll into them be- fore going to bed at night and that will moisten them so they will keep .heir shape well.
 Another way to keep your nails from cracking is to never manicure them when they are dry, always dampen them first
 To help inarowina nails, cut a deep shape in the middle of the nails.
 To prevent your eye glasses from steaming when entering a warm room after being out in the cold. wash them with clear soap and then dry them while the soap is still on them. Just before going out of doors.
 For all music lovers: When your music becomes torn on the. edges mend with white tissue paper and flour paste. You can hardly tell where it has been mended. mend all my mu- sic that way.
 Anyone who is complaining of warts should not do it any more I had three on one hand, but have lost them don't know when, or where I did 1t Get five cents worth of oil of cinnamon and apply every time you think of it Take tooth pick and just put the oil on the wart and be very careful not to get it on your good skin, for 1t eats wherever 1t lands. It will take a long time, but you are sure of losing the wart if you don't get discouraged. Il goes away and you don't know it.
