BRUSHING TEETH
WINS CREDIT MARK

Healthy childhood usually as
ssures healthy manhoodandwoman-
hood. In many localities home
demonstration agents from the
United States Department Of Ag-
riculture and the State agricultur-
al colleges are assisting the school
authorities in surveying health of
the school children. The results
are improved standards of health
among children.
in Adams, Coos and Hills
borough Counties, N. H., popular
lectures on hygiene and proper
food habits have been given this
spring by the home demonstration
agent. Each child is weighed and
measured by the home demonstra-
tion agent and a.volunteer helper.
The record is placed on card
,and credit is given for such good
habits as sleeping with window
,open," drinking of milk" and
'"brushing Of teeth" When a
child is found much underweight
or with bad food and living habits
a visit is made to the home.
In most instances parents well
come the advice of some one skill
ed in dietetics.

OLD SOLDIER DIES.

On Wednesday evening May 81,
John w. Florence passed away at
his home 5 miles north of Camden.
For some time he had been in
failing health and the end was not
unexpected. He gradually grew
weaker, and while sitting by his
afreside with his sister, with whom
he had lived with for years and a
few of the near neighbors he pass
ed away, like the day that dies
out of the sky, just as the shadows
of night were gathering around he
fell asleep and tired eyes were
gently closed and the end of an
industrious life WAS finished.
Mr.. Florence was born in Ben
ton County, at the place where he
died, about75 years ago. While
he never married, yet more de-
voted man to his neighbors and
his folks was hard to find. For
years he took care of his mother
after his fathers death and re-
mained after her death with his
elderly sister and cared for her.
His devotion to his homefolks
speaks much for him, and to those
that are left, his memory will lin
ger with them like tie fragrance Of
the flowers.
He was an old Confederate
soldier, having spent the most of
the four years from 1861 to 1866
in the Confederate army. His
record as soldier, citizen and
neighbor 10 not eKcelled and his
passing away removes one of the
best citizens of this county from
us.
He was one of nine children OF
j. L. and Avice Florence. The
former was one OF the pioneer
school teachers of this county anl
one of the first Judges Of the
County Court of Benton County.
He leaves the following sisters
his brothers having died before
him-Mrs. J. l.. Frazier, Mrs. A,
Cuff, Mrs. Ann Beasley aud Miss
Sarah Florence.

SWAT BOOSTERS AND
SAVE MILLIONS

Boosters not needed as breeders
should be put in the same class as
flies when it comes to swatting.
It is estimated by the United
States Department of Agriculture
that SIS, 100000 worth of eggs
spoil yearly simply because they
are fertile.
Fertile eggs, when subjected to
high summer temperature begin to
hatch just as when placed in an
incubator orunder hen, and even
though the process continues but
a short time the egg becomes un-
fit for food. This spoilage of eggs
can be entirely prevented by swat
ting or disposing of the rooster
after the breeding season is over.
The campaign for the produc-
tion of infertile eggs has been
waged several years by United
States Department of Agriculture
poultry specialists and is being
taken up with renewed vigor in
States where summer tempatures
are highest and loses are grsetest.
Weeks have been designated "Swat
the rooster" for the sale of surplus
male birds.
Enormous quantities Of roosters,
not needed and being fed needless
ly, have been marketed during
such weeks. 1T is much more
generally understood that hens
will lay Just as we'll without a
male in the flock.
