Watch Your Health
Keep Well!

People who grow careless about
their daily habits seldom reach old
age. Disease claims them before
their allotted time; they die prema-
turely. Nature must be served. She
is long suffering, but you cannot
escape the consequences of neglecting
her daily demands. For your health 5
sake, answer promptly every call of
the bowels and kidneys. Make this
the most important thing of the day,
and give it instant attention, if you
hope to keep we'll and live long.
Whenever the stomach or bowels fail
to act thoroughly, take "L. F." At
woods Medicine, and be free from
constipation and its long train of ills.
When the stomach, liver or blood need
regulating, it acts promptly, and is
safe for every member of the family.

Care Of the Growing Fowls.

The secret of success in the treatment
and general management of my poultry
is in the care. Feeding one day and
ueglecting the fowls the next would
never do for my birds. I hatch most of
the chickens in an incubator and raise
them In brooder, keeping the brooder
in house 15x18 feet. put 100 or 80
in brooder and have had fine success.
No hawks or cats can trouble them. The
chicks are kept in the house until five or
six weeks old. I feed in Q little trough
some dry feed and some shorts and meal

ed while the chicks are small, 10 also
given. I do not bother with chick feed,
as raise my birds for profit and do not
buy fancy food.
My poultry has free range and can
have sunshine or shade to suit the fowls.
IF q farmer has garden In the range,
nv way would be to fence the garden
and let the hens and chickens 90 where
they please. Iced some cracked corn

for them to drink. Grass sod 10 often

Film Picture Freaks,

Freak pictures are usually the result
Of clever manipulation Of the camera
or the film. Articles or individuals can
be made to instantly disappear by stop
ping the camera while the article -
removed or the person walks OF tho
stage, the other characters holding
their pose until the camera Is again
put in motion. In some films In which
q person Is thrown from q height or
Is apparently crushed under a steam
roller the effect Is gained by the 1--we
person walking away after the camera
Is stopped and a dummy substituted to
undergo the death penalty.
By projecting the picture at fasesr
rate than 1t was taken e1cructat1ng
comic scenes are sometimes devised.
An automobile going ten miles an hour
by speeding up the projection machine
may be made to apparently move at
100 miles an hour, and by increasing
the same way the apparent speed OF
persons lodging the demoniac auto e1-
ceedingly ludicrous effects are had.

Gold In Carats.

We often hear people In speaking OF
their watches say, 1T Is an IL carat

es or % carat or solid gold rings. When
you see the marks on watch case or
the inside Of a gold ring they read u h.
or 14K or whatever number OF cara@
the maker wishes to indicate. A piece
of gold jewelry marked 1s K, or u
carats. means that 1t is three-fourtns
pure gold. In arranging this basis OF
marking things made OF gold aoso-
lutely pure gold is called "a carats.
Then II two, six or ten twenty-fourtns

Words.


Words are used for various purposes
to evade issues, to put people to
sleep, to break up homes, to present
literature and to conceal ideas. Moth
ing exceeds like words.
Words are used in speeches, debates
and stories. Massed in serried groups
in newspapers and text books they pre-
vent people from learning anything.
Last words are most effective and are
employed exclusively by women ana
prominent citizens who are dying.
Words are nothing in themselves, but
only In their relationship to other
words. It is the system Of putting
them together that counts. Most words
are like unorganized militia. In war
the mortality among them Is fearful
They never win battles When WORDS

Show Your Gratitude.

Gratitude Is one Of the pretdegt
posies In the bouquet Of human virtues.
Cultivate It and 1t Will bloom always.
Gratitude costs nothing, but repays
much, and yet 1t Is a gem Of character

Never forget the friend who threw

Of the rankest kind. Keep green IN your
heart the memory Of every Obligation
and lose no opportunity to repay It
Show your gratitude for q hind act
done you by doing kind act for some

A grateful Thank your for q seat In

The application Of the term uncle
Sam to the United States had its be.
ginning in Troy. N. T.. during the wai
of 1912. A commission contractor OF
Troy named Elbert Anderson had q
shop in which the stocks were always
examined and passed by q government
inspector called Samuel Wilson, who
was generally known as "Uncle sam"
When the boxes were passed they were
always marked with the initials OF the
contractor and the nation. "NA-US."
One day the man who was doing the
marketing was asked what the initials
stood for and replied jokingly that they
were the initials Of the contractor and
Of Uncle Sam" The joke spread
among the men, got into print and long
before the end Of the war had become
known an over the country. MI. WI

PEDESTRIAN IS RATED

in Street Traffic Laws.

BALTIMORE. Nd, December THE
pedestrian is the most dangerous as

traffic in the belief of DR.. H. NJ. Howe
of Baltimore, president Of the American
Automobile Association, speaking at
the second annual convention of the
Safety First Federation Of America.
which opened three-day meeting
here today.
If pedestrians. he said. were confined
to the sidewalks in their movements
and were not permitted to cross the
street anywhere except at properly
designated crossings, the cause of most
of the accidents and fatalities that hap
pen, would be eliminated at one stroke.
Vehicles. DR.. Rowe declared, were so
well covered by regulations that further
attempts in that line could not bring
results.
An "Uncontrolled Factor"
The pedestrian-the individual for
whose safety we are so deeply con-
cerned-we have not regulated at all or
else to such a limited extent and in so
few instances that he is at this moment
the uncontrolled factor in traffic. He
is by Ear the most dangerous as well
as the most defiant factor"
