Field's MinstreIs.

To attuue the voice to music is an
ennobling art. Song is the poetry of
the soul and no music ia more en-
trancing than the harmony of human
voices, Singing Is the worlds music.
Folk lore songs trace the history Of
the world. In all the eras OF the
countries of the world, the songs OF
the times have had their influence
with the populace. In all the ages Of
the world famous singers have been
the popular idols OF the times From
the grand opera artist to the humble
chorister, all have worshipped those
who sing the songs of their countries
Singing is the basis of the greater
number of stage offerings. Singing Is
the sheet anchor OF minstrelsy. Min
strelsy owes more of its popularity to
the sweet ballads that Il has made
popular than any other cause. Al G..
Field seems to have recognized this
fact in the formation of his company.
Singers of known repute are numerous
on it's roster. Jack Richards, long
known as minstrelsy's gifted singer.
heads the list. Charles Reinhart' s
name stands side by side with the

his yodeling bring him less renown
Harry Frillman, he OF the voice OF

with a range that challenges the ad-
miration or all who appreciate the
baritone voice; John Worland, another
tenor whose style and voice calls for
more than passing note; Emile

school of that nationality impressed
upon his voice and methods; Al and

about four feet from front to rear,
six feet long and four or five feet
high.
Screen in front and have can
vass or burlap curtain to let down
on cold nights.
Whitewash Freely
Fasten up all cracks, especially
near roosts. Have the roosts
about three feet from floor and a
foot above dropping board, which
should be cleaned every few days,
the manure going to fertilize the
garden.
Whitewash on inside every few
weeks. Build three or four nests
under the dropping board on the
floor.
Have removable nests - boxes
will do-so they may be taken
out, cleaned, whitewashed and re-
filled with new straw or hay.
Put a white glass nest egg in
each nest.
Have a small can Of charcoal
and one of grit hanging near side
OF front so hens can get both at
any time. In front of the house
or at one side have scratching
yard or shed. II should be COW
cred in winter.
Keep scratching shed filled with
dried leaves and throw all grain
food in the litter. That makes
the hens work for their feed. A
hen which dosn't get enough
scratching exercise will not lay
eggs.
Kill off the roosters as soon as
they are large enough.
II you want to use eggs from
your hens for Matching purposes
next year, buy a new rooster of a
reliable dealer.
This prevents inbreeding. If
you intend to buy your Matching
eggs next spring don't keep any
roosters.
Don't heat your chicken house
even on the coolest nights. except.
ing the brooder for little chicks.

TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN
ACTRESS DOES.

No class of people devotes as
much time to beauty as do actress
es. and no class must be more
careful to retain and develop their
charms. Inquiry develops the in
formation that in hair care they
find it dangerous to shampoo
with any makeshift hair cleanser.
The majority say that to have the
best hair wash and scalp stimu-
lator at a cost of about three
cents, one need only get pack
age Of Canthrox from Your drug
gist; dissolve a teaspoonful in q
cup of hot water and your sham
poo is ready. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply 1t to all
the hair instead of Just the top
of the head. After Its use the
hair dries rapidly, with uniform
color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are quickly dissolved and en-
tirely disappear when you rinse
the hair. After this your hair will
be SO fluffy II will leok much
heavier than IL Is. It's luster and
softness win delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth.
