twelfth to the end of the fifteenth
century, pocket mirrors or small hand
mirrors carried ut the girdle were CON

toilet. The method of backing glass
with metal for mirrors WAS well known
in the middle ages. though steel and
silver mirrors were almost exclusively
used. 1t was in Venice that the max

scale was first developed.

a Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tiOns. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stOm-
ach and causes nausea, vomiting and
a terrible headache. Take three of
Chamberlain's Tablets. They Will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as well
as ever. They only cost quarter.

Worth Fighting For

CHALL this little girl grow up in the sort
- of American home know healthy and
~ happy? Shall she have the advantage of
living and learning in free land under free in
stitutions? Shall such children develop into the
Liberty-loving citizens that free America may
be proud of?
For two hundred years Americans have
fought vaantly and died gallantly, to win for
themselves and hand down to their posterty the
blessings OF liberty, justice, self-government and
equal opportunity. This precious heritage bought
at so great price, is now threatened.
The question which today confronts America
as nation, and you individual is
whether not a free America
is worth fighting for
Are American children in this and all future
generations to receive unimpaired the legacy of
freedom of which the custodans or
shall their country be turned over bodily to the
brutal, rapaclOus, power mad enemy which has
forced into this war?

Wrist Motion Ascribed as
Secret of Attaining Speed
In Art of Husking Corn

Corn husking is rapidly becoming
an art of rare attainment. In years
past, observes Il writer in the Illinois
State Register, many good stories have
been told about records achieved by
men accomplished in that art. AS
stated by a huSking expert, in years
past, farmers coupled size with skill
and would not hire a hand to husk
corn unless he was q giant physically.
Those were the days before the sci
ence Of the business had been devel-
oped. Experience taught the lesson
that the wrist motion, IL properly ac-
CURED, would enable an ordinary husk-
err to develop speed. When the SCI
ence Of the game was brought out,
the smaller men gradually Won recog-
milton as huskers Of rare ability.
No standard Of production can be
laid down to govern the ability of the
average husker. The foundation Of
the corn determines greatly the speed
of the picker. With corn Of medium
height, well matureI and standing

estimate a good days work. These
three conditions rarely EEL existed
at the same time.
Viewed from the angle Of a trade,
corr shucking is rapidly becoming a
craft, according to the announcement
Of a local trade journal. In past
years corn shuckerS have worked
without any attempt to secure a uni
form rate. In most cases the shucker
worked by the day and it followed
that on rainy and stormy days, the
men drew their wages, even though
they did not 90 into the field.
AS corn husking grew to be more
and more a profession, 1t is reported,
the huskers began to angle for short
err hours and a more uniform scale of
wages, either based upon the day
wage or the commission on the bushel
gathered. The latter system is rap
idly gaining a foothold.
