Putting Off"

Give up the very unwise habit Of putting off" Putting off will result only in your giving up your good in- tentions. There is never any time like the present, and no matter how busy a woman may be, she can always find time to show some little kindness or extend some little courtesy that may be the means of cheering or strength ening another around her less strong willed.
 Putting off until tomorrow what you could do today is a sure way to upset things in general, for procrastination is surely the thief of time. Before one realizes just how it happened the days have flown by and we have not ac- complished one-half the things we had intended 10.
 There is no time like the present, and il We were wise We would use every minute we are sure of instead of putting off" until that future that may not come.-EXchange.

PROTECTING RED MEN WHITING SP0!LS EGGS
One Instance Found in Which
 Cleanliness Is Menace.
Uncle Sam's Specialists Say Great Loss Results in Cold Storage
 Plants From Washing Shells.

Uncle Sans specialists have dis. covered one instance where cleanli. ness is not to be desired, where dir, is a protection rather than n menace, Strange to say, this discovery has to do with the preservation of one item of food supply.
 Approximately 5,016000 dozen eggs spoil needlessly every year in cold storage simply because someone has let clean eggs get wet or has washed dirty eggs before sending them to market, according to the experts of the United States department of az riculture. Careful investigations of large quantities of stored eggs show that from IT to % per cent of washed eggs become worthless in storage, whereas only to $ per cent of dirty eggs stored unwashed spoil. The ex' planation is simple. Water removes from the shell of the egg q gelatinous covering which helps to keep air and germs out of the inside of the egg, Once this covering is removed by washing or rain which gets to eggs in the nest, germs and molds find ready access to the contents and spoil the eggs.
 This enormous loss in storage eggs largely can be prevented, it Is de, clared, if producers and egg handlers will refrain from washing eggs des. tined for the storage markets and take pains to reduce the number of dirty eggs by providing plenty of clean sheltered nests for their hens.
 Millions of eggs spoil in storage be cause they have been exposed to dew, rain, dirt, and sun in stolen nests in the grass or fence corners.
 In view of this great loss of valu. able food, the department urges coun. try storekeeperS and hueksters not to accept washed eggs for shipment in ease lots. Shiny eggs, especially in the early spring, probably have been washed All washed eggs purchased should be sold locally for immediate consumption, it is declared.

NEGLECTED SOURCE OF FOOD
Sweet Potatoes Can Be Made impor. tant and Cheap Item of Diet Say
 Uncle Sam's Farm Experts.

Sweet potatoes can be made m i'm portaut and cheap source of food, say specialists in UncIc Sans department of agriculture. II is quite easy to in. crease the acreage enormously and the adoption of better methods of handling and storing would improve the product to such an extent that the demand would be greatly stimulated.
 Storing sweet potatoes has always been more difficult problem than producing them. A large part of the Southern crop is kept in pits and banks. with the result that probably 30 per cent of the potatoes decay, and even those which are fit 10 put on the market do not keep well. Moreover, the pits and banks cannot be opened during wet or rainy weather without risk of injuring all the stock in them' so that it is not uncommon for grow CTS to be unable because of weather conditions, to get out their potatoes at the very time that the market de- mand for them is greatest.
 These difficulties can be done away with to a great extent by the use of sweet potato storage houses, it is de- clared.

OIL OR TAR HURTS GARDENS
Warning Against Use of Street Sweep ings as Fertilizer Given by Uncle
 Sam's Specialists.

Those who use street sweepings to fertillZe gardens should avoid waste that contains oil or tar. Either of these substances is harmful to plants, spe- callsts in Uncle Sans department of agriculture warn. Sweepings from tarred pavements or oiled roads are likely to contain them. oil droppings from motor cars often mix with such waste, also. If .Weepings are collected with some care and before rain CT wa- ter from street sprlnklers have reached them and washed out the elements of fertlizing value, they can be used ad- yantageouslN.
 In connection with the spread of the city gardening movement, the depart ment of agriculture believes a warn ing in regard to oil and tar damage should he given. X specialist in the bureau of chemistry cites an instance of damage done to q garden near Sil- yer Springs Montgomery county, Mary land on which unSorted street sweep ings from the District of Columbia were used. This garden according to the specialist, was ruined by the tar products in the fertilizer, and 1t was necessary to remove the top soil and resurface the entire plot with new soil.

Making Life Joyous.

It is not the great tragedies which make life so disappointing. It is far more the lack of the world that might perfectly well have been spoken, the letter which might have been written, the visit that might have been paid. It takes very little sometimes to set life at the full again, and when our hearts do leap with joy is more often than not because something old has 1lourished again. Why hunt up novel. ties when by just q touch on some old spring the whole world will look like a new world to someone you knowt Is there one of us who does not know two or three exact spots where he can make that happen2

How EnaIand Obtained Canada.

Aeadia-noW Nova Scotia and New Brunswick-and the Hudson's Bay ter ritory were ceded to Great Britain by France by the treaty of Utrecht in 1715. To be sure, Britain had an older title to the Hudson's Bay territory by reason of discovery and occupation and the territory came to mean about all the Canadian West of today. Old Canada-today the provinces of Que bee and Ontario-were ceded to Great Britain by France by the treaty of Paris, signed on February 10, 1763 By this same treaty France gave ur any claim to the Ohio valley and other territory now forming much of the central West of the United States.

THEIR TWO WAYS.
Women Shoppers Show There Are Two Methods of Killing a Cat.
One Gets Grudging Service by Sharp Demands While Other Wins Sales
 girl by Her Pleasant Words.

It was three days before Christmas. In many departments of Bolivar x Clark'S great store girls with tired eyes were trying, usually with pa tience, to serve the neyer-ending line of customers. In the gingham depart ment, however, the clerks were having an easy time. Few persons buy ging- hams at Christmas time. The girls, grown careless, were talking together, taking it for granted that any chance visitor to the department was on her way to the silk department beyond.
 So it happened that two women stood for several minutes in front of the seersuckers without being noticed. Presently one of them walked across to the group where Madge Hardness was graphically describing the Christ mas that she would have if she had il thousand dollars to spend. Her voice cut sharply through Madge's gay tong
 "I want to see seersuckers, and l have no time to waste. Will one of you come and wait upon me, or shall I call a hoorwalkerY
 A hot color famed in Madge's face. She turned at once and began taking down seersuckers. She answered ev- cry question distinctly; there was not q thing with which her customer could find fault, and yet her whole manner radiated antagonism. When she took the order she shrugged her shoulders behind her customers back.
 "The old catt" she said to Minnie Dixon. as her customer left. "fd like to fling the seersucker at her head. I'd like to put her behind the counter to wait upon herself. Wouldn't she be a sweet one? She'd be fired at the end of the first day.
 Just then the other woman stepped up to the counter. She was little, white-haired, old lady, but there was q twinkle in her eyes. She smiled into Madge's sullen face with warm hearted friendliness.
 T hope you won't mind my saying it." she remarked, but what pretty girls you have at this counter Old ladies love to see them, you know"
 For d moment Madge stared. Then she began to laugh, and the old lady laughed with her.
 of course, I'd have to give you any thing you want for that" she said.
 "Of course," the old lady agreed, twinkling again, "I expected you to. But all the same" she added, when her order was taken and she was turning away, T meant it, too.'
 ''Taffyl" Madge exclaimed as she went back to the others. But l be- lieve she meant it. Anyway, it made you feel good. Who'd have thought an old lady like that would be so foxy '.
 The old lady herself was smiling as she went toward the elevator, but it was tender smile, for she really loved girls.
 And the interested bystander who had seen it all went on her way smil- ing, too.-Youths Companion.

IN READINESS

The most authentic information
that has yet been received relative
to military matters was in the shape
of a communication received by Capt.
William Steitz today, emanating from
the Military Bureau. 1t advised that,
in all probability, call would be
made for all National Guardsmen to
enter active service at an early date.
II also conveyed instructions to get
everything in readiness for this call,
in order that there may be the mini
mum OF delay or confusion when
movement of troops is ordered.
While the date of the call is indefi-
mite. 1t is evident that 1t will be only
very short time until the Second
Florida Regiment, including Co. ID,
will again be under arms, in com
Lany with National Guardsmen from
all States.
