Mayor of Philadelphia Wants to Spend
Half Million Dollars on a

Mayor Smith hopes to make Phila-
delphia one of the most widely known
cities in the world as an industrial and
commercial center, with a splendid
port for foreign trade and unexcelled

The mayor will advertise the city
on a scale never before contemplated.
He will ask for an appropriation of
100000 as soon as the money can
be provided for carrying out his plan.
The mayor hopes to establish either
a bureau of publicity in one of the de-
partments or new department or
publicity. A suggestion was made to
the mayor at luncheon given recent
ly by the Poor Richard club as to the
value of advertising the city, and he
promised to consider the project. An
nouncing that he would recommend
the plan to the city legislators, he said
that the appropriation would go into
the newspapers, magazines and other
publieations-in other words. into
printers ink-where it would do the
most good.
The campaign of advertising is to In
form the merchants and manufactur-
ers of the world of the advantages of
dealing with the worlds greatest work
shop. The mayor said the expenditure
would be a municipal investment that
mould raturn the nrincipal with high
interest.

PLAN FOR RAISING GOSLlNGs
Hen VIII Cover Only Five or SID
Eggs, While Mother Goose May
Hatch From ~ to IS.

Geese usually begin to lay in March
and If not allowed to sit will lay from
20 to so eggs each. The first goslings
are not Matched until the grass begins
to come in green. A hen will cover
only five or six goose eggs, while the
mother goose may hatch from II &c
Is. Although the period of incubation
averages 80 days. 1t will vary from IS
to 33 days. AS the time for Matching
is half as long again as for hens eggs
only hens that are In good condition
and kept free from lice and properly
fed will stay on the nest long enough
to bring off good hatch.
Since the first gosling may appear
as early as the twenty eighth day. and
the last one not until the thirty-third
or thirty=fifth day, II is a good plan
to remove the goslings from the nest
to warm, fiannel-lined basket as fast
as they hatch If This is not done the
hen may become restless before the
hatch is finished and leave the nest.

METHOD FOR TESTING SEEDS
Simple Plan Is to Use Two Inverted
Plates, With Moistened BIottine
Paper on Inside.

Two methods for testing the small
seeds such as timothy. orchard grass,
clover and the like vary only in the
materials used to keep the moisture
near the seeds. Sometimes blotting
paper is used and at other times cloth.
Two plates are taken and a sheet of
plotting paper put on each plate. The
two papers are moistened quite a lit
tie, the counted seed placed upon one
paper and the plate with the other
paper inverted over the first plate. The
plates tend to hold in the moisture,
but they should be examined every day
until the test is finished for fear the
blotters get too dry.

CHEAP LANTERN NEVER PAYS

a lantern whose burner, instead of be-
ing securely screwed on the oil reser-
voir, is merely slipped on.
As a consequence, if the lantern is

"ANURIC!"
NEWEST In CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery Of Doctor
Pierce, head of the Inyalids' Hotel.
Buffalo, n. Y. Experiments for sew
eral years proved that there is no
other eliminator of uric acid compa-
rable. For those easily recognized
symptoms of infiammation-as back
ache, scalding urine and frequent uri-
nation, as well as sediment in the
urine, or II uric acid in the blood has
caused rheumatism, "Anuric" acts
quickly. In rheumatism of the joints,
in gravel and govt, invariably the
pains and stiffness which so frequently
and persistently accompany the dis
ease rapidly disappear.
