The teachers and pupils of lakewood
School gave a very instructive and
pleasing entertainment Thursday eve
ming, Feb. 21st, in the school building.
The program consisted of the follow.
ing:
Music, both vocal and instrumental,
recitations, dialogues, ~tableaux, drills,
etc.
A Ratchet drill given by a number
of boys, with Louis Conchond as lead.
er, drew great applause.
A flag drill by the primary pupils
was well executed. Also a wreath
drill by the grammar grades.
A number of recitations were well
rendered. An exhibition of physical
exercises given by the Grammar
grades was excellent, and spoke well
for the careful training received by the
pupils.
The making of our flag-(dialogue
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. great credit
on those who took the different char.
acters. George Washington, Betsy
Ross, Francis Scott Key and his
friend, the wounded commodore, Uncle
Sam and his boys, Liberty, and the
Red Cross workers, were all true to
life. The audience cheered as Uncle
Sans boys marched acros the stage
to the music of the drum, with rifles
on their shoulders. The Star Span
gled Banner was sung by the audience
(standing), with the accompaniment
of the Victrola.
At the close of the program, ice
cream was served.
The proceeds of the evening will be
used to purchase more records for
the Victrola. 1t is hoped the school
will give another entertainment in the
near future.

"Buddeized Milk" Can Be
Kept Twenty-0ne Days,
Two Physicians Declare

There is a way of preserving milk
for 81 days without spelling it in any
way. Health Commissioner John Dill
Robertson and DIR. w. A. Evans, for
mer commissioner, testified to this be-
fore the Chicago milk commission.
It's called "Buddeized milk" and it's
treat6j to a 1 per cent solution of
peroxide, and then heated to 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
The use of this milk would not only
bring down the price, Doctor Robin
O testified, but it would certainly
prevent any possibility of a milk fam
inc when the railroads Ire storm
bound.
The use of the "Buddeized" milk, the
two doctors said, permits wholesale
buying by the housewife, and permits
the bringing of milk from greater dis
tances. 1t will permit a city to get a
price that is determined on a butter
fat and cheese factory basiS-which is
much less, they say, than the present
prices.

This Sunday School has had a re-
markedly successful year financially
and otherwise, and during the past
year has raised $24 for missions, which
Is probably the largest amount the
school ever raised for that b%enevolence.

wall in the chapel a service flag con
tanning three stars for three young
men now in the service, namely: Chas.

licity committee, of which Mr.. Henry

On the recommendation of the Chief
Of Police, the subject of the purchasing
of two detachable, %collapsible iron
cells for the Incarceration of prisoners
was discussed at length and then re.
ferred to the public property commit
tee for consideration and a future rec.
ommendatiOn according to the finan.
cial status of the city in relation there,

proximate $3.50. The purchase, it was
agreed, is advisable and necessary, in

propriateness and expense involved in
taking prisoners to Pleasantville or

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWERS


In addition to the grain and the
table scraps in feeding chickens fol
meat and eggs, it is well t6feed a dry
mash. This dry mash is composed OF
various ground grains and is placed
in a mash hopper or box from which
the hens can help themselves. The
advantage of feeding such a mash is
that the hens always have access to
feed, and this tends to make up fol
any faulty, inexperienced, or INSULT
cient feeding. The hens do not like
the dry mash so we'll that they are
likely to overeat, but it will supply q
source of feed in case they are not
getting. enough. The dry mash also
provides a suitable medium for feeding
beef scrap, a certain amount of which
may or may not be necessary, depend
ing upon the amount of meat scraps
available in the table waste. If the
hens show a tendency to become over
fat it may be desirable to close the
mash hopper during a part of the day
n allow them access to it only dur.
ing a certain period, preferably the
afternoon. A good dry mash is CON-
posed of equal parts by weight of
cornmeal, wheat bran, wheat mid.
dlings, and beef scrap. Another good
mash is composed of three parts by
weight of cornmeal and one part beef
scrap. Still a third mash, which has
given excellent results, is composed of
n pound of wheat bran, one pound
of wheat middlings, 6.5 pounds of beef
scraps, and 16.5 pounds of cornmeal.
The beef scrap used in the dry mash
is usually the most expensive ingred-
lent, but 1t is a very essential part of
the mash and very efficient for egg
production. It should not be elimi-
mated or reduced unless the quantity
of meat In the table scraps is consid-
cradle or unless some other product
can be substituted for it.. Fish scrap,
when available, may replace the beef
scrap, or ~cottonseed meal can be used
to replace one-half the beef scrap in
the mash. No attempt should be made
to replace more than half the beef
scrap with c~ottonseed meal, as the re-
suits in egg production and in the
quality of the eggs will be unsatisfac-
tory.
Green cut bone can often be pur-
chased from the butcher. This ma
terial when procured fresh makes an
excellent substitute for beef scrap. 1t
should be purchased in small quaint
ties, as it can not be kept fresh for
any length of time and when spoiled
may cause were bowel trouble. 1t is
best fed in a trough not oftener than
every other day, allowing about one
half ounce per bird. Should severe or
continued looseness of the bowels fol-
low the feeding of green cut bone it
should be discontinued or the quaint
ty reduced.
Vegetable tops. parings, and other
vegetable refuse supply a valuable and
very necessary green feed for the hens.
Lawn clippings also are a valuable
green feed. They can be fed as soon
as cut, or they may be dried or cured,
stored in bags, and saved until winter,
when they can be soaked in warm wa
ter and fed in that condition or be
mixed with some of the mash or with
the table scraps.

100 years occupied q position in italy In
financial and mercantile affairs similar
to those held In this country at this time
by the Rockefellers and Morgans. Lo-
renxo the Magnificent was extremely
powerful In his day. and his let

information contained and the word pic

and business In Italy. In addition to Sc
crets OF diplomacy as fpractised in the
fifteenth century.
The archives consist Of more than
1000 historic documents. and nearly all
are autographed. Perhaps the most
striking point contained in the letters
that relate to life and morals In those
distant years Is that to be murderer
was to remain respectable, but to be q

The operation proved successful. No

Receives News Gs.ssly.
Col. Roosevelt received the verdict
with customary gamencss and walked
unassisted to the automobile that was to
take him to the hospital. Mrs. Roose-
welt and her two daughters, Mrs. Alice
Lopgworth and Mrs. Ethel Derby. were
WITH him. and Mra Roosevelt immedi-
ateiy made arrangements to stay at the
hospital during the time the Colonel u
confined there-probabiy ten days or
two weeks.
30 thoroughly had the Colonel's grit
and vigor concealed the evil effects Of
tho tropical fever that the report Of his
illness came a. Q complete surprise. It
was not until the second operation Inn
pended that the ahiiction OF the Colonel's
illnesses. eliminating in the
nstula, became known.
The ColpnePs illness will interfere
with . rather extensive speaking tour
which was to have begun last night in
Boston. From there he was to 60 to
Des Moines. Milwaukee and Detroit. An
engagement At. the Harvard Club was
cancelled Tuesday night on account Of
illness. p,
F., Col. Roossyelts physicians hope that
the operation will entirely relieve him Of
the effects Of the old tropical trouble.
