Millions of Pounds of
Candy and CONNECTIONS

An idea Of the huge amount of

There was shipped during the month
Of February $685.. .898 pounds of candy.
This included not only candy and con-
fections for sale in the sales COM
missaries, but also the amount au-
thorized by the ration allowance. The
ration allowance Of candy for our
troops overseas for the month of No
vember amounted to approximately
100000 pounds.
1t would take a convoy of 1896 three
ton trucks to carry this amount of

The British ensign or Union Jack is

Jack Is a combination of the English
red cross of st. George on a white

Only 0ne-Fifth of Hens
Egg Is Nutritious; Much
of Substance Is Water

In a hens egg only one-fifth Of the
substance is nutritious. One-ninth
is refuse. and the greater portion,
about two-thirds, is water, according
to authority.
White-shelled eggs are not so good
as yellow ones, for they contain a
trifle more water and less fat.
Judged by the amount of nutriment
a goose's egg is the most valuable
next In order are ducks. guinea fowls,
hens, turkeys. and plovers' eggs.
Eggs contain large quantity of
sulphur, which is purifying to the
blood and good for the complexion.
To get the best egg you must feed
your fowl on grain. And to cook 1t in
the most digestible way you must not
boil the water. Heat the water to
$50 degrees and leave the egg in 1t
for ten minutes. You will then digest
every morsel. But II you boil 1t for
thpee minutes no less than one-twelfth
Of 1t will fail to be digested. Thus,
II you eat two eggs boiled at 212 de-
grees every day you waste five dozen
In year.

Equipment Necessary and
Processes for SiIvering
Familiar Looking-Glas

There are several processes for sill
vering mirrors, the simplest Of which,
perhaps, is to provide large fiat
stone table and spread upon 1t evenly
sheet of tinfoil without crease or
blemish. This is covered uniformly
to depth of one-eighth inch with
mercury. The plate of glass. perfect
ly cleansed of all grease and impur-
tiles, is floated in the mercury care
fully so as to exclude air bubbles. 1t
is then pressed down by loading with
weights In order to press out the
mercury which remains fluid. After
about twenty-four hours it may be
raised on its edge to harden, and
should be finished in few weeks.
Another method involves the use Of
solution made as follows: Mix one
ounce nitrate of silver, three ounces
water, one ounce liquid ammonia and
three ounces spirits of wine. Filter
after solution has stood three or four
hours. To every ounce of the solution
add one-fOurth ounce sugar dissolved
in equal quantities of water and al
cohol. The surface to be silvered is
covered with this liquid at tempera-
ture of 160 degrees, maintained till
the deposition of silver is complete.
When dry, coated surface is covered
with mastic varnish.

KEEP POULTRY
FREE FROM LICE

Lousy hens are not likely to prove
good sitters. Lousy chicks lose vital
ity and die. A lousy flock is unthrifty.
With poultry and eggs selling at high
prices. the poultryman can well afford
to apply the simple remedies which
will keep his birds free from lice and
mites.
The University Of Missouri college
of agriculture has used sodium fluor-
ide effectively and recommends larg-
er use of 1t by poultrymen. This
chemical is exceedingly poisonous to
all species of chicken lice. 1t kills
both adults and young, including the
young which emerge from the eggs
present at the time of treatment. One
application of sodium flouride to all
fowls on the farm will completely de-
stroy all lice present.
Sodium fluoride may be applied as
dust or as dip. One pound of the
chemical will be enough to dust about
one hundred hens by the pinch meth
cd. This method, developed by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, is as follows: Hold the fowl by
the legs or wings with one hand while
with the other hand small pinch of
the chemical is placed among the
feathers next to the skin. Apply one
pinch on the head, one on the neck,
two on the back, one on the breast,
one below the vent, one on the tail,
one on either thigh, and one scattered
on the underside of each wing when
spread. Hold the chicken over large
shallow pan while busting, to recover
the material that might ordinarily be
lost.

Cooking Wins Husbands,

women can cook If they try to-" He
bases these conclusions on the effects
of the culinary art in the game of love

before him.

II they could cook and in practically
every case they stated they could, and
when they said they could not. they
supplemented it with the statement
they were learning" he said.
That many men have been won by
good cooking was stated by the Bad
ger state marriage clerk us common

"Time after time man will come
for license to wed his landlady or
the one who has cooked for him. 1t

Red -WH|TE-B BLUE
CoIors That Preponderate
in Flags of Nations of
the World.

"HE principal colors in the flags
that fly throughout the world
this year of our Lord, 1919,
today are red, white and
blue in diverse combinations. Here
and there green is shown, but red,
white and blue are the colors of nine
teen out of twenty-five national flags
and are the cOlOrs of practically all
the flags of the nations of Europe.
The Significance of national colors
goes back to the days of heraldry and
many Of the devices displayed on flags
are either heral,lic designs or have
been derived from such designs. Red
stands for courage and military forti-
tude, blue symbolizes loyalty and truth
and white stands for peace and SINGER
ity. In the italian, Irish, Brazilian
and Mexican flags green is one of the
colors, and in heraldry this color sig
nified hope and Joy. Black, which ap-
pears in the German flag in combina-
ton with red and white, stands for
constancy.
A historian has written that the
farmers in the battle of Lexington car
ried the "cornet" or standard of the
Three County Troop. That banner
was devised for a troop of cavalry
raised in the counties of Essex, Suf-

1859. The office of color bearer of
this troop became an Inheritance in

Portia, by Tears,

Bad Young Mar

Chicago, June 28.-"Do you cali it
fair when the lawyer l had was only
boy trying his first case-'getting
experience they call it-yes, getting
experience at my expense?"
That is what Mary Turner said in
"Within the Law" and what Doro-
thy Rosenthal, the pretty young Por-
tia of Chicago. was thinking of when
she stood up before the jurors to
defend Charles Morgan, q, who
was on trial for burglary. 1t was
Miss 'Rosenthals first case, and she
told the jurors it was Morgan's last
chance, for he already had served
two sentences in the house of cor

the boy red-handed and police off,
Ger who made the arrest. We, the
defense, had nothing but the boys
record, which l knew would go
against him. It looked like los

was. I thought of his mother, a
dear little, old lady in St. Louis,
who knew nothing of his arrest,
and who was dying.
Then l remembered the lines
from the play. Within the Law I
realized that I, in my enthusiasm,

Morgan didn't go to jail, however.

really impressed by the tears.
