TRAINING TODAYS

FROM A NEW POINT OF VIEW

BY sIDoNIE M. GRUENBERe.

prevailing attitude toward thrift
Everyone, nearly, pays formal homage
TO the supposed virtue of thrift. and
everyone. nearly. resents in his iamost
heart the niggardHness and narrow

In this country thrift has tradition

but it is especially prominent in con-
nection with the idea of saving. Tile
early settlers found plenty Of land and
plenty of TIMBER but the products of
labor were TO be attained only with
much effort Raw materials that in
volved labor. such as wool and linen
and all of the metals, which had to be
brought from Europe, were carefully
boarded. Clothes were mended and
patched until they simply could not
hold together any longer. and then
the rags were saved for carpets and
quilts. or for making paper. \ patch
was an evidence of thrift and thrift
was eommendabIe virtue
But the cultivation Of land was car
ried on in most Wasteful manner,
and good timber was burned and de-
stroyed with wanton disregard for the
future needs of the country. These
facts only emphasize the fallaey of
the common notion that We may teach
such an abstraction as virtue and
then expect il to perform its function
In the regulation of human life. Thrift
was very earnestly cultivated, but 1t
had no meaning except in relation to
particular kinds of commodities Fire

ever was plentiful was disregarded as
carelessly as the present generation
disregards matches and paper.
Yet every generation has to teach

nizing that economic changes are con

1t has been shown in experiments
with corn made by the United States

eradication is the principal if not the
only beneficial result OF cultivating
this crop after planting. This means
that in cultiyating The corn crop the

RANGE FOR THE YOUNG BIRDS
Problem of Supplying Green Feed for
Chicks Does Not Receive Saf-
feient Attention.
by p. G. HIRE. South Carolina Ex

tBy f. c. HARE. South Carolina Ex-
pertinent Staton4
The problem Of supplying n range
or green feed for chicks does not re
ceive sufficient attention. This is an
important side of the proper rearing
of poultry, and the farmer who has
sour milk to spare and Il good green
range has more than half his chick
problem solved.
For temporary feeding one can soak
oats overnight in water. wash them
thoroughly next morning. and spread
them in half-inch layers in boxes or
trays. Place these trays in the shade
outdoors and sprinkle with water twice
daily. In from three to six days the
oats will be ready for feeding. For
baby chicks feed when the sprouts are
one-half inch long giving once daily
what the chicks will eat in about ten
minutes.
Rape may be sown, and. when grown
cut up and fed to chicks. Cabbage.
lettuce, mangels, beets. turnips, can
also be used for green feed.
The only really satisfactory way,
however, to supply green feed and a
good range is to SOW a piece of land
to Bermuda grass by blowing the
ground and dropping a piece of Ber-
Nuda sod every is inches, and to put
some bur clover into this Bermuda
grass in the fall

Reconciliation.

In most families and among friends,
differences sometimes arise that are
decidedly unpleasant In nearly all
cases these differences spring from mis-
understandings. \ time comes when
explanations, apologies and reasons
are In order, ard a reconciliation takes
place. This IS a thing much To be
desired, and when it comes, wash the
slate clean. Leave no fragments. no
left-overs to be brought up at another
time. Wash the slate clean as you
would wipe out faulty example
Cleanse the heart of the last drop of
bitterness or resentment. Let love and
good will prevail. A genial spirit brings
more real happiness than a manner so
reserved as to raise doubt of the pleas
ure of meeting. doubt that reconcilia-
ton was mutual. So forgive as TO for
get. 1t has been done and can be done.
Such forgiveness wins good win and
cements friendships that fill life with
JOY. Hold yourself ready to wash the
slate clean"

GOOD REASONS FOR DAlRYlNG

A dairy enables the dairyman to an
tieipate and receive n neat and regu-
lar income from the sale of milk.
The sale Of surplus young stock and
cows. furnishes an income in addition
70 the income from milk. that adds to
the profits materially.
1t provides Il home market and pays
higher prices for farm crops than are
ordinarily paid ~ commercial centers.
1t utilizes grass and various kinds OF
feed that have no market value except
as they are converted into milk or
other saleahle products.
1t provides means of employing
labor regularly and probably at all
seasons of the year
1t makes the farm permanently pro-
ductiYe by the utilization of feeds on
the farm and the use of farm manures
The regular income from the sale Of
dairy products and stock enables the
farmer TO keep up permanent I'M
preyements and 10 take pride in the
possession of farm home.

tunity for becoming a thorough bust

WHY WOMEN
Write LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkharn Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
qenuine?" Are they truthful 2"
"Why do women write such letters2"
In answer we say that never have we
published q fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who w4ote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia Z. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia K. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements Inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
