HOSPITALS NOW
 TAKE IMPRINTS
 OF BABY'S FEET

New York, Jan. 7.---A system of taking footprints of children has been adopted in the New York Nursery and Child's Hospital to prevent infants born there from going to the wrong mothers. Its adoption was due to the fact that a soldiers wife who recently
 gave birth to a baby in that hospital at first denied that the child was hers. The young mother, who had been reading stories of accidental substttu- ton of children at hospitals and sim- liar public institutions, declined to nurse the baby.
 We Drought all the proofs we could
 muster" explained the superintend- ent, 'tbut the mother persisted in her
 hanucinatdon. She Sbecane hystericaa with gdref and fright Finally, l brought her our records which showed that only a little colored baby and
 her own had been born in the hospital l that day. That convinced her, but
 just think of what would have hap
 pened to the poor woman IT otner white babies had been born there on
 the same day"

 came out beautifully and for grreatel

 are quite dissimi1ar. One child, the
 superintendent declared, will have z perfectly formed miniature pedal ex tremfty, another's will print mostl!

 Under the present system, whici ! has been in operation nearly si. months, the child's foot is linked an' , stamped on the hospital chart of tn l mother. Although he may not re ) semb1e any one in the family an no one can tell where he got his nos or his eyes or his mouth or the colo of his hair, a comparison of the foot print taken at birth it was said, wi tell whose child he is from among tn l hundreds of infants in this New Tor.

A congressman who is investigating

SPOT THE SLICK AGENT

ANY number of communities have
been feeced by smooth talking as-
ents who had oil and other attrac-
tive stock to sell. The farmer or
dinarily does not know stocks and
their value so he should protect him
self. The following article, which
appeared in the Southern Agricul-
turist. tells how one county in the
State solved the problem:
Agents selling worthless stocks
will have a hard time doing business
in Union County, Ky, in the future.
The Union County Farm Bureau has
developed Blue Sky" committee
OF three banker members. These
bankers have been carefully selected
to represent the different sections
OF the county. The work of this
very unusual committee is outlined
in the following letter which has
been mailed to every member of the
Bureau:
Your attention is called to the
fact that many worthless stocks
have been, and are being offered TO
the citizens of this county, and in
order to protect you against such
schemes the Farm Bureau has ap-
pointed a committee, authorized 10
investigate all such propositions.
The Committee is composed of Cbas.
N Ellis, Sturgis, Sam w. Clements,
UYioDtCwn, and ]. X. Waller Mcl-
ganfield. 1t is the duty of this COM
mittee to investigate each PROPOSE
ton, and make its report to the
President of the Farm Bureau. This
report will be published in the coun-
-1y..papers.
. lTheIe is no way of compelling
,.cpV motors of such schemes to sub
Snl their propositions to this COM
sin1 tee except through the '+,ilop-
Ship of the county. We therefore
ask that You refuse to listen to any
salesman offering stocks or securi-
ties of any kind, unless said sales
man has paper signed by the Presi-
dent Of this Bureau approving the
proposition"
A tremendous amount of money
is being spent for worthless stocks
just now, and the example set by
this Farm Bureau could well be
followed by others.

POISON, KILL, SHOOT EN-

The farmer knows the value of a
good garden since the war has boost
cd prices. He also knows he must
get ready to fight the bugs that get
fat in his garden. The Southern
Agriculturist has the following to
say concerning a good spray pump
with which to poison, kill and shoot
'em:
Every year potato bugs. plant
lice, tomato worms, squash bugs and
other pests infest the garden. Dust
ing with homemade powders OF
wood ashes, lime or plain dust some
times does, good; but ordinarily
fails utterly to check the damage.
A small, well-built spray pump
should hang next to the hoe, rake
and spade used in the garden. A
supply of Paris green and nicotine
solution should also be kept on hand
so that the bug-gun might be loaded
and used at a moments notice. The
Paris green can be used effectively
to kill all those garden pests which
eat the leaves with jaws. The nico-
tine solution will destroy plant lice
and other insects which suck the
juices of plants and can not be poi
soned with Paris green.
The gardener need not feel that
because the garden starts with
flourish and no enemies are in sight
that they do not exist. He should
remember other years when sudden
ly the pest appeared almost over
might and had done great damage
r.fore he had a chance to 90 TO
tlwn and secure ris ammunition fLr
a pitched battle. The farmer should
be good general and be ready for
an attack at any time.

record a miracle of st. Kentigern. the

bishop of Glasgow. A certain queen
gave a soldier, with whom she had
fallen in love. a ring that had been
presented TO her by her consort; but
the king discovered the intrigue. and.
having obtained the ring, threw II into
the Clyde. and then demanded 1t Of
his dlsloyal lady.
In her alarm she sought help from
ST. Kentigern. and he, proceeding to
the river, forthwith caught salmon,
which. on being opened. was found TO
have swallowed the all-lmportant
Jewel. The queen regained the good
graces of the king, and lived a better
life afterward.

"Down and Outs"

At the Bowery approach to the VIII

interesting sight at any hour of the
day, says the New York Times. This
is the gathering of near dOwn-and-outs
disposing of what is left of their
wardrobes and who, being poor sales
men. usually take what is offered and
not what they expected to get.
The other morning there were four
on hand. One had three frayed silk
shirts. two pairs of more or less worn
trousers and three sets of silk under
wear. He asked 80 cents each for the
shirts and took 81 for the three. The
trousers brought IS cents the pair,

First care of baby chicks is very
important. Never feed under for

often. FIVE times day, LIST week,
four times next two weeks. Morning

of equal parts fine cracked corn and

parts rolled OATS, bread crumbs and
bran, moistened with buttermilk, is
an excellent starting feed. Use a

Fish meal has proven a very eff
cient feed for hogs, since il con-
tains a large percentage of protein
and mineral matter and therefore
is well suited for use as a supple
ment to corn. 1t is in a class with
tankage and skinned milk in this
respect, and taken pound for pound
is probably more efficient than tank
age. This should prove especially
interesting at this time since fish
