LET FRIEND WIFE DO THE WORK
Some Good Advice, Right off the Ice,
For DOdging Foodstuffs's Awful
Price

1t makes the grocer laugh cut loud
to see the foolish, hungry crowd step
up and buy his tin can beans with
money fished from jaded jeans. He
smiles to see how keen they be to buy
stuff that's often tough, and stingy,
stale, just good enough for thriftless
folks to buy and eat; but not as good
by fourteen miles as stuff that mother
canned in piles. We've left the good
old-fashioned way of fixing for
rainy day by canning corn and peas
and beets and other things that's good
for eats. We used to like to turn the
soil, we used to exercise in toll, to
pull the weeds on hands and knees and
feed the chickens and the bees. To
plant the radishcs and peas was our
delight, but now we scott at honest
toll and play at golf or jump into our
rusty car and hit the highway with a
jar; we spend our wages to buy gas
instead of raising garden sass. No
longer is the cellar filled with kraut
and lard, and pickles dilled, with spuds
and eggs, preserves and jams. and
bacon, sausage, pork and ham. The
moral is not hard to find, unless you
are both deaf and blind. Just buy
your wife some garden seed, some
modern tools to dig the weeds. Send
to your college for the rules for can
ming stuff from squash to mules

5UoL ) tGIR.dct INTO BUUr
Differed Since the First Time
Theory Was Advanced

Dr. Austin OAialley Of New York
has just revived the ancient discus
sion concerning the moment rh" Int
man soul enters the body In uu mr.
ticlr In America lIr contrasts ia" two
uppnSite theories; a That nj Nr...-
totle. that the Snll Is infused about
the fnrtieth day. TO which St Th"mus
Aquiuas, ST. AnSclm. ST. Alphou~us
Lignuri and most Of the medieval NOR
ulistS and thrplogiaus adhered. (2l
That the entrance Of the soul l. stimuli
tnncous with the fusion Of the single
nuclei in the two parental germ cells,
tp which most modern embryOlngists,
physicians and mnrulists give their
adhesion.
Cardinal Mcrcler and some other
great theOlogians cling to the Aristote-
lian theory today. basing their belief
on the idea that not until the body
takes actual human form is the
breath of life" breathed into it and Il
becomes IA living soul"
But Doctor O'Malley and the embry-
ologists hold that the earliest embryo
is human being, therefore body
with human soul.

..King Egg" Now Has High Standards

king Egg" Now Has High Standards
The day of standardization in the
egg market is here. When eggs sold
for a cent apiece, the claim ian egg
is an egg" was accepted. With our
present increased prices, the consumer
naturally is asking for greater quail
ity and higher standardization in the
products he buys.
A number Of our best markets are
now demanding that eggs shall weigh
at least "a ounces per dozen. They
must stand candling test, be clean,
uniform in size, shape and color Of
shell.
When rigid standards are well es-
tablishcd, the producer Of first class
fresh eggs will receive a premium,
and will no longer have his prices
governed by the ungraded, poorly
handled product.-C. S. Anderson,

Time to Both

The French military expedition in
the Balkans. following the example Of
the armies Of Napoleon and Marshal
Mnison in carefully preserving and
classifying all objects Of archaeological
interest discovered by the troops, has
gathered data that il is thought viii
throw much light On the primitive his
tory of Macedonia.
Objects uncarthed in trench digging
at the front in Macedonia and In the
construction Of field works in the in
trcnched camp are assembled at Sa-
lnniki all duly labeled with full de
tails Of their discovery.
Organized research is being done 50
FAR as circumstances permit Three
liking columns have been sent TO cover
particularly interesting regions to
make soundingS with II view 10 the
preparation of archaeological charts or
maps.
These columns have already collect
ed information Of lnestimnble value
with specimens Of poetry, fragments of
ceramics, with data as to the depth
which they were discovered.

Animosity Purely Imaginary

All the talk of a Russian German
Japanese coalition against the United
States after the war has its origin in
German minds and is given publicity
through the German propaganda. The
wish is father to the thought. If we
do our full duty now in the face of
what confronts us, we shall be in posi-
ton when the war is over, to make a
few coalitions Of our own il the neces-

Steel for Battleships.

Nearly 1000 gross tons Of steel will
he needed TO build the 66 various new
battleships, destroyers and submarines,
bids for the construction Of which were
taken 10y the United Suites navy in
October. When these are added to our
navy they will make it one of the most
formidable in the world. Some en-
tightening statistics regarding these
naval vessels appear in Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. In each of the four
new battle cruisers there will be l5.O25
tons of steel in each Of the four new
battleships there will he 13,761 tons
of steel; in the 20 new destroyers, 325
tons OF steel each, and in the 30 new
submarines, 1S6 tons each. A hospital
ship and AN ammunition ship will need
1000 tons Of steel each. Taking SO a
ton as the average price OF steel at
present, these vessels mean an outlay
Of not less than S1OOO0.OOO for the
steel only.

HOW TO DISINFECT STABLES
U. S. Department of Agricultural Is
sues Directions Which Should BE
Kept for Reference

Farmers are constantly advised to
disinfect their stables, hen houses,
calf pens, etc, but do not know how
to proceed to do it effectively in all
cases. The following explicit direc
tions by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture will be found useful and
might well be filed for future refer
ence:
Chemical disinfectants are used to
good advantage in controlling disease
and the following directions for their
use are given:
Il. Sweep ceilings, side walls, stall
partitions, floors and other surfaces
until free from cobwebs and dust.
2. Remove all accumulations of
filth by scraping, and If woodwork has
become decayed, porous, or absorbent,
it should be removed, burned and re-
placed with new material.
3. II floor is Of earth, remove 4
inches from the surface, and in places
where it shows staining with urine
a sufficient depth should be removed
to expose fresh earth. All earth re-
moved should be replaced with earth
from an uncontaminated source, or a
new floor of concrete may be laid,
which is very durable and easily
cleaned.
4. The entire interior Of the stable,
especially the feeding troughs and
drains, as well as milking stools and
all other implements, should be sat
urated with a disinfectant, as cresol
compound (U. S. P.), or carbolic acid
8 ounces to every gallon of water in
each case. After this has dried, the
stalls, walls, and ceilings may be COW
cred with whitewash Qime wash), to
each gallon of which should be added
4 ounces of chlorid of lime.
). All refuse and material from
stable and barnyard should be remov-
ed to a place not accessible to cattle
or hogs. The manure should be
spread on fields and turned under.
In addition, the yards should be dis
infected by sprinkling literally with
a solution Of copper sulphate, 5
ounces to a gallon of water
The best method of applying the
disinfectant and the lime wash is by
means Of a strong spray pump, such
as used by orchardists.
This method is efficient in distin-
fection against most Of the contagious
and infectious diseases of animals, and
should be applied Immediately fol-
lowing any outbreak, and, as a mat
ter of precaution, it may be used
once or twice yearly.-Geo. H. Glover

STR. ROSEDALE
 WILL BE SOLD
 UNDER HAMMER
Vessel Has Had Interestine Career As "Queen of the
 Sound"

The famous steamer Rosedale is to be sold under the hammer of United States marshal at Norwalk on We'd nesday. This steamer which until recently belonged to the Aiming Smith Navigation Co.,. plying during the summer months between\ Rocka- way Beach and New York and tying up in Bridgeport for the winter sea- son had much to do with the early growth of the city.
 During the competitive struggle for supremacy in the Sound passenger business between New York and Bridgeport that existed a score of years ago she often showed her stern to boats that opposed her victories as the speed Queen of the Sound.
 A memorable race was that held May 6, 1895, between the Rosedale and the steamer c. H. Northam, of New Haven. Under command of the late Capt Witherax of this city ac- -ceptance of formal challenge to race the Northam, commanded by Capt. Hardy, was made at New York and both boats left abreast. The Rosedale took the lead by almost two miles and earned the name Queen of the Sound" which has al ways remained with her. As a result of the defeat the Northam was taken, from the New Haven service and replaced by the Richard Peck, which still runs between New York and New Haven.
 United States Marshals Hawley and Haynes will sell the famous boat Wednesday, in company with the smaller steamer Elizabeth They prob ably will pass from this vicinity.
