real social life of the organization
will begin on the first Friday in De-

doubtedly the club will have its gay

place in large measure to wartime

Colonial DANES Club
To Hold Exhibition.

The Club of Colonial Danes will
place on view tomorrow and Tuesday
collection OF reproductions Of his
Frazer Andrews, a member of the
club. Cards of invitation for Monday
and Tuesday afternoons between
3 and o'clock have been sent out and
| suspect this means a sort Of glori-
fed private view, with tea and talk
for good measure.
Parties at the Club of Colonial
DANES are always enjoyable and the
exhibition is of no little interest, both
from the artistic and the historic
point of view. Old portraits are ST
lent reminders of the roots from
which we spring. They are links be-
tween the generations, stimulating
our racial ambitions. Inherited Dor
traits because OF their intrinsic value
sometimes pass into strangers hands
The ravages of time reduce others to
shreds. And a reproduction has great
value since it may perpetuate the
memory of a personality, enable us to
visualize an antecedent, save a worthy
name from Oblivion or preserve to
posterity an inspiration or an ex-
ample.
For the work of reproduction Mrs
Andrews is peculiarly fitted. Not ONLY
has she a pretty talent as a painter.
which has been carefully cultivated.
but she comes herself of a long line
Of distinguished ancestors and she
has been bred to a respect for tradi-

and who enjoy with Miss Ingle all
the comforts and refinements of a

always doing something for their
pleasure and entertainment and the
recital on Tuesday is one of a series
of similar festivities which she mas
arranged for her girls to take place
during the winter months.
Mrs. Brosius is too we'll known 20

POULTRY NOTES.

by Prof Frederic II. Stoneburn. President
Pennsylvania State Poultry Association)-
During more than twenty years of active
connection with the poultry industry | have
never before seen general conditions as ia
vorabe for the development Of a great 'poul-
try boom" From present indications one may
feel safe in predicting at least two or three
years of most unusual activity i'm poultry cir
cles. Whether the usual reaction will follow
or the industry be put upon such solid basis
that it will steadily expand depends upon
many things. The immediate future at least
is rosy
1t is history that period of shortage of
poultry products with consequent strong de-
mand and high prices is always followed by an
epidemic of the hen fever" The reason for
this is not hard to find Poultry gives quick
action. From egg to broiler is but matter
OF few weeks; from egg to egg, Matching
to laying maturity is but few months Poul-
try keeping in a small way can be started on
very limited investment. Poultry can be
kept by almost any one having a little space
available, in city, back yard or on the farm

BACK YARD POuLTRY

Thousands of families are keeping poultry
in the back yard, thereby supplying the table
with fresh eggs and also some fine birds for
the table.
These back letters are feeding their poultry
with certain amount of table scraps and of
vegetables which ordinarily would be wasted
The egg preserving campaign was one of
the big features Of the year Thousands OF
eggs have been preserved for winter use. and
those who had the foresight to preserve the
supply OF eggs when eggs were cheap are en-
abled to have fresh eggs at a reasonable
Lrice.
The government is now inSttuting a cam
palgn for early Matching which will be very
strongly waged from now until the Matching
season is over.
Early Matching means chicks that are past
the danger point before the hot weather sets
in.
Early Matching means chicks less troubled
Oy lice and disease
Early Matching means more chicks raised
Early Matching means a longer growing
season.
Early Matching means better grown chicks.

LICE AND MITES.

The free use of an effective lice powder is
always in order. Sodium fluorid makes an eff
tectlve lice powder In applying the powder
hold the fowl by the feet, head down. and
work the powder well down into the feathers.
a dust bath is essential in Kidding the fowls
Of lice
The free use of kerosene or crude petroleum
on the roosts and in the cracks will exter-
inmate mites
Whitewashing in the interior of the house
thoroughly once or twice a year helps to keep
II sweet and clean. Carbola is better TO use
than whitewash
