osTRICH1Es EAT ANVILs.
By James J. Montague

OSTRICHES EAT ANNII.S.
New York poulterers have been
caught feeding chickens gravel and
scrap iron to increase their weight
before marketing them. - News
item.
The butchers, when you go to buy
your modest mOring meat
supply
Leave in the bones that weight
like stones
When on the scales they lay it.
Your appetite for bones is nil, but
when you get your butcher
The bones are there, and though
you swear,
And howl and moan, you pay it.
Before the chicken gets the axe they
feed IT up on carpet tacks
And horseshoe nails and bucket
balls.
(Which fowls regard as diet.
A carpet tack cannot be chewed
scrap iron makes a sodden
food
Which, try your best you don't
digest.
But still you've got 20 buy it.
Before a duck goes on beyond they
let him drift around the
pound
And drink a flood of liquid mud
Which goes to make him
weigh more
And when your bette, half opines
that Sunday when the family
dimes
She's like a duck, of course you're
stuck
For you have got to pay more
When Of such things as these I read
it makes me very sad indeed
The market news that 1 peruse
Is difficult 20 soften.
Yet I'll conclude this verse by stat
ing that things might be
worse.
I'm glad that 1 don't have TO buy
An ostrich very often.

In Few Minutes You VIII Be Able

" on can squeeze out a blackhead

no damage to the skin. but
when you try to squeeze out the
thousands of little ones that are so
firmly imbedded in the skin that
you have to disngure your face to
get them out. 1t is time to call a
halt. Anyway, you'll never get
them all out by pinching the face
it's impossible. This IS all unnecessary.
which you will be able 10 prove to
yourself in three minutes. If you
will take the trouble 10 do IL, you'll
not be able to see olackhead when
the three minutes are up. It's won
derful what you can do by sprink-
ling little nero1in on wet
sponge and rubbing the blackheads
with it for a few minutes. 1t does
what nothing else in the wide world
can do-get rid of them all, big and
little ones. Just try this right
away. get the neroxin at the drug
store for fifty cents. Don't steam
the face because that makes the
pores large and it does not do a
particle of good for removing black
heads.

are employed
The electric needle Is very pain
