The value per dozen of the eggs
produced by the Leghorns was from

eggs of general-purpose hens. This
difference is due to the fact that the
geleral.purpose breeds are better
winter layers than the Leghorns,
while the latter give higher pro-

Very few Leghorns become broody,

their egg yield as compared with the

the gospel because we believe it to

''ln the day Isaiah used these
words it was the day of fresh, clean
water being sold, as many drank i'm
pure water from stagnant ponds and
surface wells. Therefore, when one
came into the city with fresh water
for sale he found a ready market for
it. From this custom has Jesus
taught us many beautiful lessons of
purity and cleansing. Much poison is
taken into our bodies by our food
and drink, creating unnatural hun
ger and thirst, which often weakens
our lives. In erusalem these con-
d:tions existed; so people longod for
some invention whereby they could
have pure, fresh water. This text re-
fers to their anticipation of suc. and
TO the spiritual well which is Christ.
"A man not thirsty will think lit
tie about the water supply; but if I;
were announced in the morning that
our water supply would be cut off
for thirty days people would be much
concerned as to where they would
get good water. The man who is
prospecting financially, physically and
otherwise does not think enough
about the spiritual supply. No mat

one thing can suffice, and that is the
time when he may draw water out OF

of prosperity we should be boring
deep into Gods love, that we may
draw plenty when less prosperous

THAT which has a bad effect upon
the life Of a man is as the dregs

make folks happy; other conditions
often make folks sad. But in many
lives neither conditions nor circum-

ENGLISH SCOUTS GREET US

Lieut.. Gen. Sir Robert s. s. Baden
Bowel has written to Mr.. Colin H.
Livingstone, president Of the Boy
Scouts of America, stating that Amer
ica's entry into the war has increased
the already existing strong brotherly
feeling between the English and Ameri-
can scouts.
The English chief scout in his let
ter from London also tells something
of the work done for their country By
English Boy Scouts, as follows:
"On the great historical step taken
by the United States in coming into
the war 1 feel that 1 must send you
one word of greeting from the Boy
Scouts point of view.
"We have done war work over here
In various forms behind the scenes,
not necessarily involving the taking up
Of arms by boys under the age for
military service, but by acting as
watchers over railway bridges. tele-
graph and cable lines. reservoirs,
power works, etc., the lads have done
valuable national service.
"Also they have performed the du-
ties of orderlies in large numbers for
the war office, admiralty, government
and other offices and have carried out
the constructing service ever since
the first outbreak of war. They have
also supplied trained signalers and
ambulance men where required.
II feel sure that with the training
they have received the Boy Scouts Of
America are in a position to do very
valuable service for their country be-
hind the scenes in the present crisis"

SCOUT KNOWS HIS CITY.

A scout knows his city as well as he
knows the trails in the forest. He can
guide stranger wherever he desires
to go, and his knowledge of short cuts
saves him many needless steps. He
knows where the police stations are
located, where the fire-alarm boxes are
placed, where the nearest doctor lives.
where the hospitals are, and which is
the quickest way to reach them. He
knows the names of the city officials
and the nature of their duties. A scout

The Lucky Horseshoe.

Writing of the horseshoe as a safe
guard against witches, John Aubrey,
the famous English antiquary, says
that in the seventeenth century most
of the houses in the West end of Lon
don were protected against witches
and evil spirits by having horseshoes
fastened to them in various ways. II
was the belief that then no witch or
evil genius could cross the threshold
that was protected by the shoe.
The custom of mailing horseshoes.
for luck, to all kinds OF sailing craft
was practiced to protect the lives of
Of sailors down to comparatively re-
cent times. Many people, who hold
to old sup6'stitiOns, consider 1t for
tunate to find a horseshoe. the good
luck being increased by the number
of nails attached to the shoe when
1t is picked up. This superstition can
be traced back TO about the middle of
the seventeenth century, when it Is
