SIX TO ONE IN FAVOR
OF ATLANTIC CITY HALL

Atlantic is to have new CITY
building of which the town may be
proud. The fire department is to
have Few home at last, and the
people showed they We're hea rtily in
favor of the bond issue of $3O.I58
for the new building by vote of
783 to 1877 and twenty defective
votes. The fire department celebrate
the occasion by great bonfire,
the tolling of the old fire bell
which has been without a place to
hang for several months, and a
general jollification.
The fist move for suitable
building for the fire department
was started over twenty-five years
ago and has at last met with the
success that it deserved. The small
vote of the women was somewhat
of a surprise as the suffragist es-
pscially hard fer large vote but
the vote was about the same as
at the school bond election which
was pract cally carrie by the
women. At the school bond cleo
ton SO2 women voted while at
the city hall 295 women's votes
were cast. News Telegraph.

SPRING MEDICINE

Spring Foods and Fresh Air Consti-
tute the Best Defense Against
Spring Diaease.. /
By DR.. R. R. Daniels.
Spring disorders, from spring few
err, Or that chonic tired feeling that
overtakes us as the weather turns
warm, to the serious diseases of
this season are the direct Or indi-
rect result largely Of heavy winter
eating continued over into the
spring months. During the winter
we eat considerable heavy food,
meat, potatoes, bread, sweets and
fats; the body needs much of this
sort of food to keep warm. AS
spring advances the warm weathe
makes it impossible for the body to
use UP any large amount of heavy
food; to meet this decreased demand
we must cut down cur supply OF
meat, breads, potatoes and fats
MANY persons fail to make this
necessary adjustment of the food
to the season. And just here trou BILE
begins, the unused food ferments
and decomposes in the bowels and
forms poisons that cause a variety
of spring troubles.
The Spring Half Holiday.
After the hard work of winter
when the stomach, liver, kidneys,
and even the heart must prepare,
distribute, and eliminate a large a.
mount of food, these organs all
need rest. In the spring Natu re
intends that the vital organs shall
have half holiday after their
winters work. BY continuing our
cold weather diet over into the
warm weather, instead of giving
our vital organs their much-need ed
rest, we thrust even more work up
on them. The man who develops
hardening of the arteries. Bright's
disease and kindred incurabIe dis
eases has failed each year to give
his tired organs spring rest.
Spring Medicine.
The best spring medicine is a
light diet, consisting of a small "a
mount of meats, breads and pota-
toes and an abundance of vegeta-
bles. There is nothing that clears
out the blood and chases away
that tired feeling" quite as eff
fectively as diet composed large
ly of vegetables, particularly the
early green vegetables. Greens of
all kinds are the best blood puri-
fires we have. Add to this plenty
OF outdoor work and indoor fresh
air, and spring diseases will be UNI
known.

TABLE SCRAPS CONSTITUTE
AN IDEAL POULTRY RA TON
Small Flock of Hens Will
Help to Reduce the High
Cost of Living-Convert
This Waste Into a Daily
Supply of Fresh Eggs.
BY NJ. l.. CHAPMAN
Judge, Breeder and Writer

Profitable poultry keeping is not con-
dned to the large commercial egg farms
nor to the person who is situated on a
large tract of land. Small fiocks kept IN
the back yard and fed mostly table scraps
the family supplied with fresh eggs and
an occasional chicken dinner
One of the most serious problems that
confront the poultry keeper is the high
cost of feeding stuff. All kinds of grains
are higher in price than they have been
for years and as these grains form the
larger portion of the feeding ration on
the big poultry plants it requires skillful
management to make a profit in egg pro-
duction.
With the small flock, which is usually
kept in the back yard, these expensive
foods are mostly eliminated. What is
usually thrown away, in the form of table
scraps. may be used for the bulk of the
food for the fowls. OF recent years it
has become serious problem for house
Keepers to reduce the cost of living with
out lowering it's standard. The small
poultry flock offers exceptional advan-
tages along the lines of economy. since
it is possible to convert waste Gable
scrap materials into a perfectly whole
some and nutritious diet eggs and poul-
try).
Strictly fresh eggs at certain seasons
Of the year are a luxury to those who
are compelled to go into the markets
for their supply. Very often, even after
paying excessively high prices, there is
disappointment in the quality received.
The home poultry flock insures an album
dance of fresh eggs for the ordinary
needs of the family, and when the eggs
can be produced by feeding table scraps,
the saving in this article of diet is well
worth considering
1t has always been we'll known fact
that few hens will produce greater
amount of profit than larger fiocks, and
also that each hen will lay larger num-
Der of eggs when kept in small flock

The Haunted House

Everyone knows what haunted houses
are like. Every town has one ELLIS
Parker Butler, in the September Amerl-
can Magazine, tells about one he knows
He says:
"-All the kids knew about the Haunted
House The wav I knew about 1t was
because we used to go out the -FOUR
Mile road nutting and then we used to
see it. Anybody would know 1t was a
haunted house lust by looking at 1t. The
glass in the win6owsA was all gone and
boards, any old boards, We're nailed
across the windows. and the doors were
either nailed up or broken in ana nans-
ing crooked on one hinge. The paint was
all off and the chmneYs had Topped

scattered down the roof and some on
the porch roof, The singles were all
curled up and there were bare patches
where they had blown off.
TT was big house, two stories ana a

The floor of the porch where we We're
was all dry-rotted and some OF tne
boards were gone.

duce more eggs and keep in better health
and physical condition. For this reason,
table scraps with their mixture of bread,
meat and vegetables make an ideal ra-
ton. 1t is surprising how much of this
food will be consumed and relshed by
the hens.
Cereals, bread, pastry and crumbs will
supply the necessary grain diet in con-
centrated form, and will promote the for
nation of fat and muscle which insures
rapid growth also furnishes bodily heat
and an excess toward the formation of
eggs.
Tailings from steaks, roasts, chops and
other meats will supply elements that
are directly concerned with the forma-
ton of eggs, and nearly every family will
have enough of this form of table waste
to provide sufficient animal food for a
small flock of fowls. Small particles OF
bone are relished by fowls, and bone is
one of the best egS-producing foods
Known to poultrymen.
Milk in any form is highly nutritious
and forms an excellent egg-producing
diet. When there is sour milk, put it on
the back of the stove and allow it to
come to a clabbered state, after which
it may be fed to the hens. Sour milk
is more than food for fowls; it acts
as a TOME, and keeps the system in a
generally healthy condition
Green food is the natural tonic ~for
fowls, and where they are allowed free
range they eat large quantities of grass
: clover and weeds. Table scraps furnish

recommend the combination of pale law
ender and pink. In making this gown,
if you have to supply only new lace and
do not find silver lace too expensive, the
glimmer of the metal is particularly
lovely under electric light.
STREET DRESS OF SERGE
In remodeling cloth dresses we have
wide choice of contrasting materials to
use, but. when all is said and done,
blue serge combined with black satin is
certainly the smartest and best looking.
In the street dress illustrated, I have
suggested a redingote idea, which may
be found useful in solving some of your
problems. With the underskirt, blouse
and sleeves of supple black satin and
the redingote with its pointed basque and
gathered skirt of blue serve braided in
black soutache you will have a posi-
bility Tor making over a blue serge suit.
To accomplish this, take the lining out
of your coat, sponge and press the cloth.
cut the sleeves away in big armholes,
face them back with serve or satin. Cut
away the front lapels and shape the
jacket to follow the lines of the basque.
Split your skirt open and after a good
pressing, gather the skirt and attach it
to the basque The length and flare OF
the oyerskirt will be governed by the
amount of material you have. The front
panel and deep hem OF black satin may
be mounted on sham skirt or. black
silk muslin.
A small braid design runs down the
front on either side. Large patch pock-
cts finished with black satin buttons
will be found both useful and attractive.
A piece of black satin is set on the lin
ing to simulate blouse. The vest is of
thin white and the roll. collar is cream
satin A wide tie of black satin finished
by picot edglng makes a pretty addition
to this frocl, row of black satin but
tons starts at the throat and continues
below the narrow, belt. he sleeves are
black satin--and may or may not carry
a deep turned-back cuff of cream satin.
Collar and cuffs of butchers linen will be
found less expensive to keep clean and of
very good style when used with serge.
Many of the new serge gowns are
made with pointed basques to which full
skirts of serve are gathered. Combina-
| tions of this material with satin and
touches of wool embroidery in tans, GER
Use, green and old gold are very lovely.
| Judging from the number Of ready made
serge dresses shown, 1t would seem that
| every woman will have at least one such
gown in her wardrobe. For general wear
! in the house or in the street under a top
! coat, nothing is more satisfactory.
