The majority of us have TO work In
offices and buildings artflclally heated
during the cold season. Our places
In which we spend so many hours
during the winters and early spring
days are far from having perfect
ventilation. This therefore is the rea-
son for us all to take advantage Of
mild weather conditions to get all the
fresh air possible to build our physical
bodies up so as to resist the unfavor-
able conditions we must submit to
during the cold months of the year.
This should apply to all ages. es-
pecfally including babyhood and on up
to old age. 1t means outdoor living
as much as possible both day and
night. When compelled to be in build
lngs keep the windows up; otherwise
you have dead pockets of air in your
rooms at your homes and place of oc-
cupation.
Clean, well aired, homes built so as
to admit of plenty of fresh air all the
year around and outdoor living as
much as possible during the summer,
viii do much to bring health to the
home and just In proportion to your
health your life will be worth living.

Some New Ways of Getting
Best of That Tricky Memory

The old method of tying n string
about the finger to recall to mind some
task to be done at certain time has
been done away with. The new way
Is to transfer a ring from one finger
to another. On the accustomed fin
ger the ring feels natural and does
not cause annoyance. but on any 9TH
er finger it slightly initiates. This Ir-
ritation constantly VIII aid in recalling
the task to be done. Just try II once.
Another and more novel way is TO
carry colored ribbon In the coat
pocket. Suppose, now, you are In
your Office. Your wife phones you
to be sure and bring home a certain
thing. Go to your coat hanging on
the Office rack, take out the ribbon.
and tie Ii tightly around a sleeve.
At night when you start TO 20 home
your fist win jam itself against the
tied sleeve. "oh. yes" you viii say TO
yourself, there's that cough strip Mol
ly told me to be sure and bring home
tonight" and Off you win go at once
to make the purchase.

POULTY POINTERS

Dispose Of all the old stock you do

while prices are good and before the

The feeding Of milk to young chicks
has a most favorable influence on the
growth and on lessening the mortality.
It tends to prevent mortality from all
causes, and If fed soon enough and for
sufficiently long period greatly re-
duces the death rate caused by bacil-
larry white diarrhea.
An open-front poultry house is bet
ter than too much glass, even In our
cold northern climate.
The hot weather is already giving
the plumage a rusty appearance, and
it will grow worse from now on until
melting time.
Keep the chicks free from lice; keep
them growing, for every little atten-
ton tells and brings nearer the COW
eted blue ribbon.
A splendid mixtre for laying hens
is equal parts of cracked corn, wheat
and oats, which should be scattered in
the litter.
Be sure TO give plenty of water and
see that the chickens, both large and
small, have plenty of green food. II
your yards do not have plenty of
grass, try dividing the runs and SOW
ing part to rye or rape.

To Invite the Birds.

Anyone who loves flowers is apt to
love birds, also. No doubt THIS is a
product of mutual tastes, because the
better kinds of birds, like the bet
ter kinds of humans, love gardens. At
any rate, birds and gardens go togeth-
er, just as naturally as apple pie and
cheese.
Living objects In garden always
enhance the interest, and, besides that.
the birds may be Of real use. They
get their daily bread chiefly from the
insects which the gardener counts as
his worst enemies. Wherefore let us
set down the problem of how to at
tract the birds as one of the natural
branches Of gardening. -Woman's
