Rev. Artemus Brown years ago a
we'll known Leon pastor, taken from
q sketch published first On January
Rev. Artemus Brown, former pre-
siding elder of the Charlton district,
was ione known as the ''wag' OF the
conference. Once charges were pre-
ferred against him and he was
brought before the conference ana
reprimanded. He was retained how
ever, on probation, and requested
TO mend his ways CT levity and sport.
This he did and the report 20 the
bishop was about as follows: MY dear
brother, since your penance | have
tried to be solemn but all to no avail.
The mere thoughts Of the situation
would make saint smile il his liver
was not torpid. | have applied Z
carpet stretcher to my face before
every sermon since and have read
nothing but the book OF JOB and cpl
taphs on the tombstones in my daily
walks through the cemetery until
YOU don't think my reform is SUIT
cient please send me a shroud.' You
may truly suppose Artemus was re-
formed and went on preaching saliva
ton and distributing sunshine until
the angels carried him home. He had
the courage. to ridicule long faced
christianity under peculiar circum-
stances and he was elevated to an
plea without any attempt to i'm
prove on the work of the Almighty
was his motto. And often have we
Thought what a dearth there is OF

AS general rule three is nothing
serious about loss of appetite and
if you skip meal or only eat two
meals a day for few days you will
soon have relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in
mind that at least five hours should
always elapse between meals so as
to give the food ample time to
digest and the stomach period of
rest before a second meal is taken.
Then if you eat no more than you
crave and take reasonable amount
of outdoor exercise every day you
will not need to worry about your
appetite. When the loss of ap-
petite is caused by constipation as
is often the case, that should be
corrected at once. A dose of Cham
berlain's Tablets will do 1t.

Modern Conveniences

Frank May is making extensive
additions to the water system on
his American ridge ranch. His
ranch is electrically equipped
throughout and he makes use of
electrical power for the pumping OF
his water. By the operation Of an
automatic regulator used in con-
nection with deep we'll pump and
tank, he will soon be able to main
tain constant pressure of SO
pounds in the water system. When
the pressure falls below 40 pounds,
the motor starts automatically and
brings it back to so pounds. This
addition will enable Mr.. May to
install hydrants for fire protection
and give him all the other benefits
that come to the town resident by
reason of municipal water
system. Mr.. May admits freely
himself that, when visitor comes
to his home, after years absence
it is necessary that he be shown all
the new improvements so that he
will remember the things as they
used to be and not think that he has
come to strange place.

Muslin Ventilators Can Be Used in
the Poultry House to Secure Album

or Extremes of Temperature.
openings, must be cut in the side Of
the house as close under the caves as
possible. The air. entering at these
vents filters through the straw, and
thus into the poultry mouse. No
drafts are possible, and the tempera-
ture is kept very nearly constant. The
straw also absorbs a great deal OF
moisture.
Another method, in rather wide use,
is to cover an ordinary window frame
with muslin, instead of using glass.
An improvement on this type of ven
tilator is shown at the right of the
drawing. A light wooden frame COW
cred with muslin is hung from wire,
which serves as q track. The frame
can thus be moved sideways over or
away from the window opening. Screw
eyes on the frame allow it to slide
easily over the wire. The wire itself
may be fastened either to screw eyes
or over blocks at either end. To the
left is shown similar frame, NOV
ing up and down. In this case 1t will
be necessary to arrange some means
Of holding the frame at the height de.
sired. Either the pegs that fit into
| holes in the wall, or hook fitting into
screw eyes, placed at various heights
in the WALL may be used for this pur-
| pose.
The advantage of the air strainers
over muslin-covered frames is that the
latter have to be adjusted accurately
to the weather, while the air strainer
requires no attention whatever-J. T.

VENTILATION OF HEN HOUSE
For Success With Poultry There Must

There must be an abundance of fresh

TO AID GOVERNMENT

Apprehension of profiteers and the
efficient policing OF the shoe business
throughout the country has been un-
dertaken by the National Shoe Re.
tailers association, according to official
adyices received by Webster City deal
cls from the associations headquarters
in Philadelphia.
. The department of Justice at Wash
inst0n has accepted the offer of the or
ganizati0n to aid in unearthing prof.
teers, and general plan has been out
lined whereby the attorney general
will approve the appointments of shoe
vigilance officers in various districts of
the country, it is stated in the COM
munication received.
Details of the manner in which
special police officers will operate are
not given. 1t is expected that the
sh0emen in various cities will be called
upon to extend encouragement and as
sistance to the movement. More def
mite information from the association
is looked for within few days. Upon
it's receipt it is probable that action in
some form will be taken by the shoe
men.
with the authority of the federal
government behind it, says the state
ment received, "the National Shoe as
ISOLATION will undertake to efficiently
police the shoe business and assure tile
public of fair dealing and protection
from practices such as have under.
mined the public confidence"
Five thousand shoe merchants in
convention at Boston last month con
cluded that the public's conception OF
unfair dealing was largely because OF
abuses practiced by a small minority
of tricky dealers and determined
through their national association, to
purge the trade of such unfair prac-
tees. Shoe vigilance committees will
work in cooperation with fair price
committees where they exist. Com
plants will be investigated and dealt
with on their merits.
