Can you show me something moderate in price,

We asked her to name the dominant color scheme
in her room. Then showed her one OF the new
Simmons enameled steel beds which had just ar
rived-a bed which exactly harmonized with the
decorations in her bedroom
Why" she said this is the bed I've read about
in the magazines"
We called her attention to the massive tubing and
solid construction. We explained how the handsome
appearance of the enamel due to the manner in
which it flowed onto the steel-four separate
coats-and then to the thorough baking it received.
We demonstrated how this hollow-tempered steel
tubing made the bed onethird lighter than the old
style enameled iron beds How this difference in
weight meant unmarried floors and no injury to rugs.
We showed how the Simmons frctionless casters
made the bed easy to

MOST ECONOMICAL OF FEEDS
Corn Must Be Supplemented With
heterogeneous Feed, Such as Meat
Scrap or Skim Milk.

Under usual market conditions corn
is one of the most economical feeds
for laying hens, and can well be used
to a very large extent in their ration.
However, corn must be supplemented
with heterogeneous feed, such as meat
scrap or skim milk, if good results
are to be obtained from it's use.
Recent experiments show that hens
fed u ration composed of S7.2 per cent
corn and 1913 per cent meat scrap pro-
duced eggs cheaper than hens given

big for her, but terrifyingly clean. She
knew she must resume her clothes, and
loathed the idea.
The least effort hurt her bitterly, but
she hobbled across the room and some
how got into her own things. She
worked with extreme caution Of noise !;
she did not know just why. When she
was dressed, she stood still and Won
dered what to do next. The idea Of
facing Sam Thomas appalled, her. She
remembered the kindliness Of Mrs.

tucked her into bed last night; yet.
somehow, she wondered If these people
had not changed during the night, If
they would not look scornfully upon
her untldy little person and put her out
with reproaches.
Mary Alice at last mustered cour-
age to seek the stairs, to tiptoe down:
and when she found herself in the sit
ting room, she peered fearfully across
at the open kitchen door. Then she ad-
vanced, not venturing to speak.
She saw a little boy with amazing
yellow hair sitting propped and padded

The requirements of the egg trade
and certain state and federal food reg
ulations make 1t necessary for the
shipper to know what quality Of eggs
he Is shipping to consumers. This
means that all eggs should be tested
by Gambling in the producing section.
Storekeepers and egg buyers in the
towns can candle by means of a
shielded light in a dark room. The
travelling collectors, however, who
gather eggs from the farmers, lack
these facilities. To assist these col
lectors, the egg-handling specialists Of
the department have developed n
simple homemade electrical Gambling
outfit that can be used out of doors.
The apparatus can be fastened to the
side or back Of a wagon or to the wall
of a building at height convenient
for the GAMBLER. If hung on hooks, 1t
Is easily removed.
This device consists Of q wooden
case Gig. ~, painted black inside and
out, in which Is mounted an inexpen-
sive egg candle lighted by a tiny cleo
trio bulb operated by dry batteries.

NFANTILE PARALYSIS

Physicians of the United States Pub
lie Health Service are greatly alarmed
at the epidemic of infantile paralysis
now raging in New York City. They
fear the spread of the disease through
out the country.
Today they issued warning, asking
the public through the international
News Service to take the utmost pre-
caution to avoid contagion. The Ser
vice explains that the disease is by
no means peculiar to infants but at
tacks adults with serious and very Of
ten fatal consequences. Hot, dry
weather is extremely favorable to the
spread of the disease, it is declared.
and the infantile paralysis germ is
facile in finding vehicles to convey it
! from infected persons TO well ones.
Don't kiss and fondle children If
either they or you have been exposed
to infantile paralysis.
Don't cough, sneeze or expectorate
without using a handkerchief TO re-
tain possible germs
Don't let your children attend school

ity.
Don't neglect to summon the doctor

NO WAR WITH MEXICO

Carranza's reply to the demands of
this country has practically put an
end to the war crisis in Mexico. Per
shing's troops are gradually with
drawing from Mexico and the report
is that they will be out and across
the border by July 18th, all of which
helps the situation immensely. Car
rama said in his note that there is
no pending question between the two
governments which cannot be readily
answered by friendly negotiations
which sentiments have met with a
hearty response in Washington. Car
rama thinks that the U. S. troops in
Mexican territory has caused the trou-
BILE, and asks their withdrawal and
with the proper protection of the bor-
der lines feels that trouble between
the two countries will be averted. The
plan no doubt is now to withdraw
troops from Mexico and establish a
heavy border garrison.

dial chime clock. The clock chimes
every fifteen minutes. These chimes
can be made to work every fifteen
minutes, or just at half hour or every

sired. 1t is one of the best clocks in
existence as to accuracy, keeping per-
feet time.
The clock is operated and controlled
