WE MAY NOT NEED Tla1EM. BUT

We may not need them, but, again, we might,
Our donbe-windoWs and our stOrm-doors, Peder;
And when change our underwear TO light,
We should, perhaps, not burn the 'heavies" either
No rubber boots needed in July
But we may have to them in September;
And although we in August could be shy
OF coal it will be handy in December
We may not need to study wrestler's art
Or master pugilism, but why not try them?
If some our friends would force eat their tart
Against our wishes, could simply ''pie" them.
An army strong enough and trained enough
TO meet the very best, may not be needed,
And not an ace 'mong fleets, but THEY by Bluff
And other gentlemen" would sure be needed.
Yes: if we 'shake" with Sullivan today
And drink to Corbetts health glass tomorrow,
We MIGHT be forced to kiss a Wizards clay
Some time. and always, Peder to our sorrow.
Sure, that may come, providing are weak
In rain and arm, and if our foe is stronger
If we are licked-why. humble then and meek
We MUST become -. the ruling race no longer

Novel Bed for ParaIytlcs.

One of the great problems in certain
cases of spinal wounds with paralysis
is how to move the patient sufficiently
to make his bed and tend his wounds
without increasing his sufferings by
moving him. The new bed solves the
problem. Surrounding the bed just at
the edge of the mattress is a rectan-
gular framework of hollow metal pip
ing. Connecting the two parallel sides
are broad bands of webbing. stretched
across the mattress, and on these the
patient lies. The two short sides of
the framework, the one at the head of
the bed and the other at the foot, are
connected by a geared wheel with a
vertical steel post so that by simply
turning a handle at the. head or foot
Of the bed the framework, with the
patient lying on the webbing, can be
lifted off the mattress without his POI
sition being changed in the least.

VAL LIABLE ARTICLE OF FOOD
Banana Really Is Not Appreciated
Anything Like as Much as 1t
Ought to Be.

The banana is one of the most USE
full Of all foods. When the population
of the earth becomes Overcrowded, we
shall have to eat more bananas and
less bread. An acre in wheat will
yield 900 pounds Of food. An acre In
bananas will yield 10000 pounds.
The banana resembles in compost
ton the sweet potato. Both contain
IL per cent Of protein and 20 per
cent carbohydrates. The banana con-
tains more starch than fruits Of the
temperate cline. AS 1t ripens, the
starch gradually turns to sugar.
The late Edgar Wallace Conable
said that the banana is the only food
which may safely be eaten when 1t
has been picked green. This, he ex-
planned, is because the green bananas
draw nourishment out Of the great CEN
trail stem, which gradually shrinks and
withers. A banana should never be
eaten until the skin is beginning to
turn black. Some claim that they
should be entirely black. However, it
is not necessary to go so far as that.
AS they turn black the starch turns to
sugar. Scrape the white material from
beneath the skin before you eat the
fruit.

the passionate love expressed in those

PAGE GHOST OF MUNCHAUSEN
Prince of Story TeIIers Would Be In
terested in This Wonderful Tale
of Adventure.

One of the big ocean liners was sew
eral days out from New York on a
trip across the Atlantic. 1t was din
Ger time, and those at the table fell to
telling stories about their experiences
at sea. Finally it was the turn Of
person who had previously been boast
ing Of his lineage. He told this yarn"
says the Youths Companion.
'It happened a number of years
ago." said he, ION my fifteenth trip
across the ocean, when we ran short
Of some provisions, particularly eggs,
milk, fruit and fresh meat. We were
very fortunate to have on board
resourceful fellow named Brand, who
pulled US out of the difficulty in good
shape. First he went to the hatch
way for eggs, but, as they were lit
tie too old to eat, they were used for
cooking, and he requested the captain
to have the ship lay to. This opera
ton was repeated until we had eggs
enough to go round.
"Then, at Brands suggestion, the
captain fired a ships rocket into the
Milky Way, and all we had to do was
to hold buckets and catch the milk as,
1t poured out Of the hole made by the
rocket. For a fruit supply we let
down buckets over the side of the ship
and picked up enough ocean >currants
to last for a week. The next day we
had foul weather, which provided us
with plenty of ducks and chickens.
Some of these we ate and others we
kept to replenish our egg supply"
II was on that very trip" spoke up
a wag at the end Of the table. "It was
the steamer Baltic, in October, 1908,
New York to Liverpool. We also had
on board fair-sized goose, which was
overlooked in some way. I'm sure they
never ate the bird, but I've wondered,
all these years until today whatever
became of it."

POULTRY
FATS
SOUR MILK FOR LAYING HENS
Scrap and Will Give Good Re-
turns During Winter.

While the production of eggs dur
ing the winter when high prices pre-
vail is the result of proper breeding
Matching, rearing and care, proper
feeding will always tend to stimulate
egg production at that season.
One reason why hens lay well in
spring and summer is that they are
able to obtain animal protein in the
form of bugs and worms. During
fall and winter, therefore, the poultry
feeder should attempt to initiate
summer feed conditions. The CONNER
cial poultryman supplies animal pro-
tein by feeding meatscraps, but the
farmer often fails to provide this feed
Skim milk, preferably sour, is
most excellent substitute for meat
scrap and will give good returns when
fed to laying hens. Numerous expert
ments have shown that laying hens
fed skim milk will double in egg pro-
ductiOn similar hens fed no form of
animal protein.
According to F. D. Crooks of the
Pennsylvania State college school of
agriculture and experiment station,
the exact value of sour milk as
source of protein, is difficult to state.
Numerous feeding trials, however,
place its value at so cents to So per
100 pounds.
Skim milk lowers the cost of pro-
ducing a dozen eggs. On the farm it
may mean the difference between
profit and loss in connection with the
farm flock. Sour milk has medicinal
effect also. 1t keeps hens In good
health and helps prevent disease.
