ried couples is given by Foster G. Id

And the Girl Screamed.

One of the best stories related by
Samuel /. Levin concerns a couple OF
stage gymnasts. one of whom hung by
his feet from a lofty traPeze, holding
in his teeth a gag attached TO swivel
which carried his partner by the belt.
The lower man, in horizontal posi-
ton, face downward. swung round and
round, but became so Indifferent TO his
circumstances that his eye wandered
over the hall.

his bearer. "yOur girls here"
AS thOughtlessly Bill said. "Where?''
and as he opened his mouth lost hold
of the gag. precipitating his unhappy
comrade many feet 10 the boards be-
low.

Infant Foods Are Tested
On Little White Rodents
To Determine Their Value

1t is not very widely known that in
FAINT foods are often tried out expert
mentally on baby white mice. The
Scientific American Magazine states
that in various laboratories throughout
the country large numbers of white
mice are fed exclusively on infant
foods and infant milk notifications.
The Inference cannot be drawn from
this that infant mice and human in
fants require the same foods; but
growth or lack of growth in the mouse
does indicate something of the growth
promoting properties of the food used.
Large numbers of the baby mice are
fed on each food, so that the individual
differences in the mice may be elm
mated. The food is judged by the av-
erage growth of all the mice in the
group.
The baby mice in the experiments
are as hygienically cared for as are
real babies. The wire cages in which
they are kept are steriliZed twice a
week In the bottom of each cage is
a white crepe paper napkin TO protect
the little feet from the wires. 4 clean
napkin is given at least once day
and often twice or three times. The
infant food mixtures are given from
three to five times Il day from little
glass dishes resembling individual salt
dishes. The dishes are sterilized every
time they are used.
These aristocratic little pets must
have distilled water to drink. This
is furnished from a little glass bottle
having n stopper with a glass tube,
inverted in the top of the cage A
drop always hangs at the end of the
glass tube and when a mouse is thirsty
1T climbs up and ticks off the drop,
when another drop Immediately forms.
In this way the purity of the water
at all times is insured. To be sure,
these pets are never bathed, but why
should they need it? They have no
chance TO get dirty.
1t has been said: at used TO be
thought small boys job to feed white
mice, but now one needs a college
degree 10 undertake it."

He Couldn't Lose.

One of the justices of the Supreme
court tells of young lawyer in the
West who was trying his first case be-
fore the late Justice Harlan. The
youthful attorney had evidently cOnned
his argument until he knew it by heart.
Before he had consumed ten minutes
in his oratorical effort the justice had
decided the case in his favor and told
him so. Despite this, the young lawyer
would not cease. 1t seemed that he
had attained such a momentum that he
could not stop.
Finally Justice Harlan leaned for
ward and in the pOlitest of tones. said !:
"Mr. Smith, despite your arguments,
the court has concluded TO decide this
case in your favor."-Harper's Maya

The sooner eggs can be set after

they be chilled, overheated or roughly

Every modern house contains or

every henhouse. The only difference
is that one is TO hold water and the
other is to be filled with dust, fine

Always put the incubator In a place

possible, but not too cold.
If the hens get In the habit of eat
ing eggs, put few china eggs on the
floor of their pen and let the fowls
pick at them. Sometimes that will
discourage the egg-eaters somewhat.
1t is of no use to doctor fowls for
colds or rOup and then allow the same
conditions which cause the colds and
roup to continue, like drafty houses,
germ-laden air and improper feeding
Some pOultrymen claim to break up
the egg-eating habit in fowls by blow

mustard and cayenne pepper made into
thick paste with water. 1t is said
that this cures the taste for eggs.
When hens are crowded too closely
in a poultry house, one sick bird will
often give the germs to a dozen 9TH

they will at once develop these germs
into disease.
Hens with colds frequently tuck
their heads under their wings and

is deposited there. In such cases it
should be thoroughly washed off with
water containing some disinfectant
and then wiped thoroughly dry.
