A WoMAN'S VOCATION

One of our modern writer's has said,
"a woman is as efficient in business
as man-when she is.
The reason why sometimes she is
not so efficient is that her health may
fail. But the wise business woman
knows now what to do when attacked
by the ailments peculiar to the So
called weaker sex" That greatest

ailments for forty years. Try it. If

KING AND QUEEN
VISIT WORKERS

| London, June 30.-(Correspondence
One of the most interesting OF the
series Of tours which the King and
| Queen are making to industrial centers
in Great Britain was the recent visit to
the River Tee. where shipbuilding Of
all kinds is being pushed forward at
tremendous pace.
In the first shipyard which the royal
visitors reached, some workmen in the
iron foundry had hit on a novel well
come. AS the King entered the yard.
stream of molten metal was poured out
of the furnace into a mould that built
up the words: "A warm welcome to
the King and Queen"
| In one town where thousands of boy
and girl workers are employed, there
was a special Children's Day for the
entertainment OF royalty. Children in
thousands lined the streets, and waved
their flags as the King and Queen
passed. Other children ran alongside
the royal carriage or accompanied the
visitors through the engine rooms and
joiners' shops and plate mills. jostling
each other and waving their delapidat-
ed caps in enthusiastic disregard Of
court etiquette in the very faces of the
King and Queen.
There was something very impressive
in the wave on wave of smoke-be
grimmed children who participated in
the welcoming. Many of them. clad in
cut down suits Of their fathers over
alls, were not over II or 13 years old.
but they were all war-workers. and
full-time workers at that, mostly draw
ing virtually mems wages.
The royal party later saw, large
number Of German prisoners at work
on the Stag heaps. and had the fatter-
ing experience Of being cheered by their
fee. The King was informed by the
officer in charge that the prisoners had
proved admirable workmen and were
Well behaved and industrious.

HOW TO IDENTIFY CHICKENS
Where Fowls in Neiehborhood Ar"
Much Alike II is Excellent Plan
to Paint or Dye Them.

Neighbors living close to each other
grow chickens which are very much
alike. Often each party thinks the 9th
err is in possession Of some of his birds
and trouble begins. In order to avoid
this, one neighbor will get some black
chickens because his neighbor has
white ones.
/. Hens in adjoining yards, If they
get through the fence, often make
their home in the new quarters.
.. Different varieties in adjoining
breeding yards are in great danger of
becoming mixed.
3. All birds in any community which
are apt to range together should be
one variety properly branded.
A good grade Of dye or paint is the
best method of marking the birds to
be detected at sight, different people
using different colors. If all are grow
ing white birds, one person can use
red on his birds, another blue, another
green, ETC., placing the color on the
wings and tail so they can be seen at
a distance. This gives quick identifi-
cation of the birds, and in addition to
helping neighbors to identify their
own birds, will help control wholesale
chicken thieves, because of this identi'
fication.

by Col. Fred D. Gardner, governor

The appointment of Donnelly, q Re.

governor.
