Unknown to the millions who pass
through the city of London every
week. work of unparalleled magnf-
tude at what is known as the public
record office in Chancery lane, has
been going on for a number of years.
In this Office there are twenty-five
miles of shelves, all full of historical
material, going back through the cen
.uries as far as "Domesday Book" 1t
costs over 926,000 year to keep up
the record Office, the keeper Of the
records being the master of the rolls,
says London Tit-Bits. The Office was
established by the public records act
In 1888, and the records were taken
there from the tower, the chapter
house, Westminster, the rolls chapel,
and elsewhere Ever since that time
the office has been constantly receiv-
ing accretion from the law courts,
the government departments, and
from various otter quarters. All sorts
of records are kept, legal, historical,
genealogical, statistical, and so varied
are the contents of the office that anti
uuarian research of almost every kind
can be made. There you will find the
records of the star chamber and the
old wards and liveries. State papers,
domestic, colonial and foreign, former
" preserved in the state paper office
in Whitehall, are also to be seen
there. Usually fifty or sixty students
are seen working in the record office
every day, and at any time there is
the fascinating thought that one OF
them may make some interesting his
torical discovery.

The annual report OF the Liverpool
Steamship Owners association for the
year 1915, just presented, shows that
losses of approximately Az per cent
of the total tonnage entered in the
association were attributable during
the last calendar year to enemy war
operations. To Offset these losses,
despite the heavy demands on British
shipbuilding yards, the members had
been able to replace with new ton
mage three-fourths of the war and ma
rine losses.

The recent six-cent wheaton loaf
should have it's influence In bringing
people to fuller realization of the
value of cornbread and mush as food.
The nutritious value of corn is not far
below that of whole wheat flour. 1t
contains within SIX per cent as much
carbohydrates and within three per
cent as much protein. Many hsrdy
man of today owes his health and
strength to forebears who lived sim
pie lives and ate plain food. The
pioneers of this country knew the
value of corn. They slept well on
mush and milk, and got up the next
morning with an appetite for fried
mush. They thrived and so did the
children. There was no talk of eu-
genics in the old days. Cornbread,
well made and served hot, embellished
with an amplitude of butter, Is as
summary as picking violets in a
shady glen. 1t is warmth and illum-
nation to the house we live in The
consumption of more corn as a food
and less as a so-caIled stimulant
would mean better health, simpler
philosophy, clearer logic and deeper
sentiments.

NEGLECT VALUE OF RECORDS
Cow Bought at Low Price Not Always
Best lnvestment-Best to Keep
Track of Feed and Milk.

Is the cheaper-priced dairy COW
necessarily the better investment?
The question is well answered i'll the
following instance: A man wishing
COW for dairy purposes called upon
a dairyman who kept milk records as
well as cost accounts. The buyer con-
fined his attention to two cows. One
of these would cost him $75, the other
S175. The former was in good condi-
ton, but the dairy characteristics were
not as fully developed as they might
have been; the latter was the direct
opposite. The records of the two
COWS were shown the buyer, but he
was not as much interested in records
as he should lave been. He did not
consider it worth while to sit down
and figure out which would be the bet
ter investment.

GIVE COWS SALT REGULARLY
Best Plan Is to Have Box Handy
Where Animals Can Help Them
selves Whenever They Wish.


Don't forget to salt the cows. In
experiments it has been found that 8
COW should have three-fourths of an
ounce of salt a day live weight, with
an additional six-tenths of an ounce
for each twenty pounds of milk pro-
duced, to keep her in the best Of con-
dition.
Animals deprived of salt become
emacjated and of low vitality, finally
suffering complete breakdown. Salt
should be provided regularly.
The best plan is to have a box con-
ia ming salt where the animals can get
to it whenever they so desire. Either
fine salt or rock salt can be used, al
though we prefer the latter.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says it

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch says 1t
is estimated that between 10000 and
10000 new laws have been enacted by
congress and the state legislatures in
the past five years. This is an aver
age of $4,000 year, or about 33 per
day, or one every 40 minutes. Often
the complaint is made that America
is a country in which the laws are
not obeyed. But how can they be,
when there are so many of them
Consider the time it would take
merely to read the mass of enact
ments. No wonder that many people
break law in sheer ignorance of its ex-
istence-and no wonder that this coun-
try is a paradise for lawyers.

A French contemporary has been
amusing itself by making a list OF long
street names, and offers the Partisan
record-Rue des Pretres-Saint-Ger-
main-PAuxerrois. That is mouthful,
but it is equaled by thoroughfare in
Brussels that rejoices in the name OF
Reu de la Montague aux Herbes-Pota-
ceres. In the outskirts of the Bel
gian capital there is even more OF
tongue twister, the Ougeschildezilv-
ernockormootjestraa which may be
translated as the street of the little
unpocked silver nut.

of W. L. Jennings, formerly superin-
tendent of machinery in the School OF

From these figures we see that it
would take the SIS COW about ten
years to pay for herself in butter; if
she was middle-aged COW she would
never do it. On the other hand, the
SITS COW would have paid for herself
in butter in less than three years.
The buyer bought the SIS COW.
Would he have done this if he had
appreciated the value of records, and
figured out the value of each COW?

In Japan almost every house has
statue of three monkeys. The hands
of one are over his eyes, those of an
other are over his ears and those OF
the third are over his mouth See no
evil. hear no evil, speak no evil, is
the Interpretation of them. There
are great men in the world, but there
are few great men who talk much.
When they do talk they do not utter
idle words, hence little evil creeps
into their speech. There are loved
men in the world, generous and pity
ing, but they have no time to listen
to gossip and evil communications.
There are other men who see evil,
not through morbid curiosity, but with
an eve to it's correction; nor do they
impute evil and view with suspicion
all human actions except their own.
Evil communications, seeing evil,
hearing evil, speaking evil, corrupt
humanity. There are many who can
afford to ape the three monkeys.

PUBLIC LIBRARY
POPULAR PLACE
THE PAST YEAR

The past year has been one of un-
usual activity in the Public library as
shown by the fact that more persons
have visited the reading room and
more books have been given out than
during any previous year. Five hun
Gred and twentyfoIr books have been
added, 35S by purchase and the balance
by gifts. There are now 10000 vol
umes on the library catalogue.
An additional appropriation of 5000
enabled the directors to add many new
and valuable books. Ii is hoped that in
the near future It will be possible to
have the library remain open during
some of the evenings. This would be
much appreciated by many people who
find it something of a hardship to eX-
change books during the present open
ing hours.
