Lady Macbeth was the first woman

language over it!
But there are unofficial Lady Mac
beths without number-and from then

and tempted the feminine tongue 10

Fortunately, there's a cure for every
spot-and here's a neat little list Of
such frst-aids to the commonest va
rieties OF spot and stain.
For stains from acid use ammonia
or chlorofor1n.
For chocolate stains-soak in coal
oil and wash in cold water.
Coffee stains yield TO boiling water

Fruit stains should be soaked when
fresh in sweet milk or oxalic acid So

It's been a hard life at the White

STEEL FENCE AND LIGHTNING.

National Crop Improvement Scrvice.l
In the summer time when the thun-
der caps appear in the sky and the
storm sweeps down on the farm. the
farmer thinks less Of his safety than
he does of his live stock.
When the stock is in the field during
the storm. it may happen that the
animals drift against the wire fence
which may be heavily charged with
electricity and are shocked to death.
The ordinary fence built on wooden
posts should be grounded every sixth
post. To ground the fence" means
70 twist a piece of wire six or eight
feet long around all Of the line wires
Of the fence and then dig a hole in the
ground near the post and bury the
other end Of the wire. The hole should
be dug deep enough so that the wire
comes In contact with moist earth.
A fence so grounded, offers no danger
to live stock during the thunderstorm.
The wire fence built on galvanized
steel fence posts is already grounded
ut every post and no thunderstorm with
Ifs discharge of lightning can iniure
the cattle inClosed by such q fence.

the ulAllment of which may depend
the validity Of their claim to compen-
sation under the Act,
The War Risk Insurance Act pro-
vides that "No Compensation shall

which does not occur prior to or within
one year after discharge or resignation
from the service, except that where,
after d medical examination made puf-
suaat TO regulations at the time Of

thereafter, not exceeding one year,
as MAJ be allowed by regulations, a
certificate has been obtained from the

person at the time Of his discharge or
resignation was suffering from injury
likely to result death or disability"
Many discharged men are not IA
miliar with or are inSlied to disregard
this provision Of law and are allowing
their rights Hereunder TO lapse.

WHY LAMB AND MINT SAUCE
English Writer Goes Far Back to
Trace Custom So Popular In
That Country.

Lamb is the only meat With which
mint sauce Is partnkeh. and England is
the only country where the custom Is
practired.
The latter fact seems to disprOve the
idea that II originated with the Jews.
else II would have been adopted III
other countries where the race FREEDOM
mates to an even greater extent than
In our own. Hence. also. II could not
have originated or been associated
with the bitter herbs" which were
eaten with the Paschal lamb.
When one remembers what are the
vegetables usually eaten with lamb, we
get a clue to mint sauce. And II Is
one that leads us TO what Is probably
the true reason Of its combination with
lamb. New potatoes and green peas
are the adjuncts immefrorial time has
led us &c associate with the flesh of
the lamb. These, our forbears de.
cided. were provocative Of indigestion,
and therefore an adjunct must he in
Produced to correct this tendency.
Mint during all ages hns been asso-
cfHted with such an office. The Latin
poets have broken into song regarding
Its merits. and the giver Of a feast
never thought Of laying the meat on
the table until the boards had been
secured with this herb. So, In add.
ton to being corrective, mint had a
reputation az an appetizer. Gerurde
says, THE smell Of mint doth stir up
the mind and the taste to a greedy
desire Of meat."-London Tit-3its.
