The officer of local suffrage associ- ations, county associations, and state officers have during the past week been receiving from the Nationa American Woman Suffrage Associa. tion memorials to Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, late president of the organiza ton.
 The last photograph of pr. Shaw serves as introduction to the book This photograph is one of the few ever made of the plain little leader that caught something of her eleai and vigorous spirit and the charm of her personality. It was taken last year just after the suffrage jubilee in St Louis. When Dr. Shaw was shown this picture she remarked; "I think that is a nice picture of myself"
 A history of Dr. Shaw's life is giv- en in the book, along with tributes to the woman as citizen and a patri- ot The memorial closes with quota tions from various newspapers and periodicals in their current remarks about the great suffragist

THE CHRIST CHILD

Across the snow the home lights glow From the myriad hearts alight. And through the street with noiseless
 feet
 The Christ t-child walks tonight At silent gates outside He waits. To hnd fitting spot Be thine the shame. If through thy
 blame
 The Christ-child enters not. Where joyous notes from children g
 throats
 The old glad song begin. Where love impeIs and kindness dwells The Christ-child enters in. Where hate has room. pride sits in
 gloom
 And wrong invokes unrest, Though green the walls and bright the
 halls.
 He cannot be . guest. But where the thought that angels
 brought
 To earths enraptured ears Good will to men and peace, again The Christ-child. listening, hears He turns His feet with welcome sweet Enters and there abides. Angels know best how such are blest Through all the Christmastides.

Potatoes and Cod6sh In . New and
 Novel Way

k Potatoes and codfish make one of the most nourishing food combina- tions.
 Here is recipe prepared by Janet Mckenzie Hill, of the Boston Cooking School for dish made principally of codfish and potatoes. It is, however, change from the ordinary fishcakes. Shredded codfish, creamed, potato boruer: Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, in it cook two tablespoonfulS of flour and half tablespoon of pep per; add one cup of rich milk and stir until boiling: beat one egg. reserve a teaspoonful and beat the rest into the sauce; add one cup of shredded cod fish, cover with cold water and wiring dry and let become very hot without boiling. Have ready four well-but- tered scallop shells tor use baking dish suitable to send to the table) Press four hot boiled potatoes through ricer; add salt, pepper, butter and hot milk as needed and beat vigorous ly; dispose the fish in the shells and pile the potato around 1t; brush the potato with the egg reserved for the purpose, and set into a hot oven to brown the potato slightly.
 The advantages of using shredded codfish. as Mrs. Hill explains. are that it requires no soaking or boiling be- fore cooking and that there is no odor while it is cooking.
 A ten-cent box of shredded codfish usually makes enough for five per sons.

Water Glass Keeps Them at Tive

Clemson College.-The preservation
of eggs in a solution of water glass
is increasing in popularity every year
1t is unquestionably successful meth
cd of keeping fresh eggs from spring

is very simple and no loss can be sus'
tanned if the eggs are placed in the
solution the day they are laid and the
solution is pure and suitable for the
purpose.
Unless good grade Of water glass
.for preserving eggs can be obtained
from the local druggist, it is prefer
able to order the liquid direct from
the manufacturers. One gallon of the
."E" brand used will make sufficien,
preserving solution to cover from fifty
to eighty dozen eggs. A gallon car

little more than s1.OO. The expense
of the solution is, therefore, less than
&c per dozen eggs.
Wooden kegs, tubs or pals, stont
crooks, galvanized iron cans, or AMI
;other convenient vessels will serve
the purpose 1t is important to keer
the vessel covered tightly to prevent
the preserving solution drying down
and exposing the eggs. At least two
,inches>of solution should be above the
top layer of eggs. The vessels con
tanning the eggs should be kept under

HOW TO PREVENT COTTON AN.
THRACNOSE.

Cotton anthracnose, the fungus boil
rot of cotton, is carried in the seed.
The fungus lives over from one year
to the next in the boil. To prevent
this troublesome and destructive Gis-
ease il is necessary to practice ro'
tation, and to secure seed for planting
purposes from fields where there was
no disease last year. Seed may also
come in contact with the disease at
the< gin, and thus carry the trouble
into the field. Cotton seed three years
old will be free from disease even
though they came from fields where
the disease was present Avoid this
disease by observing these precau-
tions.

Pure BRED POULTRY
What CIennson's Poultry Div
sion is Doing. F..

Clemson College. = Improvements
are being constantly made in the poul-
try plant operated by the Division Of
Poultry Husbandry Of Clemson Col
lege. The main object in establishing
this plant was to enable the students
taxing, the poultry course at the Col
lege to study and handle typical speci-
mems in the popular breeds of poul-
try, and also to supply breeding stock
Of high quality to the farmers of the
State and to others who wish to i'm
prove the breed of chickens kept at
home.
The following breeds are represent
ed: Barred Plymouth Rocks. in which
both the cockerel-bred and pullet-bred
lines of breeding are being carried on
separately; Single Comb Rhode Island
Reds, White Wyandottes, Single Comb
Buff orpingtons, Dark Cornish Indian
Game). Black Langshans and Single
Comb White Leghorns.
Every specimen in these breeding
pens has been personally selected, and
many State Champions, blue ribbon
winners, and fowls Of exceptional
merit can be found therein. For exs
ample, the cock heading the first pen
Of Rhode Island Reds is brother Of
the State Champion Male; the cock at
the head Of the Barred Plymouth Rock
pen for producing exhibition cock
erels came from Judge Gosh in New
Jersey at a large outlay; the dark
Cornish pen contains females that
were never beaten in the shows Of
South Carolina.
For four years Clemson College
bred the Tom Barron 'straip Of heavy
laying Single Comb White Leghorns.
The stock and eggs Of this strain have
been distributed over the State ai1d
the females are certainly heavy egg
producers. However, there is one OBJ
lection to this strain Of White Leg
horns and chat is their unfitness for
exhibition purposes. Since every other
breed Of poultry kept at the College
is Of the highest quality, the Tom Bar
ron White Leghorns with their big
combs, high tails and sometimes
brassy plumage looked entirely out Of
place.
This year breeding pen of the best
exhibition strain of Single Comb
White Leghorns has just been OBJ
tanned from the leading breeder Of H.
linois. The male won second at the
rrecent Chicago Show in class Of
over three hundred Leghorns. while
the females are Of the same high
equality. AS many chicks as possible
will be reared from this pen so that
the flock of White Leghorns will be
built up to it's former number
While it is not the intention Of the
Division OF Poultry Husbandry to
grow stock for sale or to sell eggs for
Matching, it frequently happens that
fine breeding and exhibition birds can
be obtained and also few sittings OF
eggs from some Of these high class
breeding pens, That the farmers and
breeders Of the State are availing
themselves of this opportunity to OBJ.
tain the best breeding stock and eggs
is shown by the fact that the demand
far exceeds the supply.
Further information can be obtain.
