Dover is counting the days until a
certain red-letter day, May 28th-
when that wonder of wonders, the
Home Talent Carnival, is to begin.
Now the reason for this is plain-to
begin with, the carnival will last a
whole week and that means, rain or
shine, there will be a heap of fun
coming to a jolly big crowd of peo-
ple-secOnd, whatever experiences
have been lacking in ones life, here
tofore, will be caught up within this
one short week and on one small
acre of ground. For instance, if you
had longing to go to France at the
time of the Great World War, you
will be given the opportunity of climb
ing into real trench such as was
used behind "the firing line in 1918"
.-barbed wire, dug-out and all. If
you have longed to go to Atlantic
City all your life and have never had
the chance, there will be the shoot
ing galleries just exactly like the ones
on the Board Walk. If you have had
a hankering to be in New York to see
the Great White Way" you can have
it all there in that same little acre of
ground in back of the ATmory by go
ing into the shows where vaudeville
and drama will be staged, every hour. |
If you care to experience the joys of |
dining at the AstOr or Delmonicos |
on May 90th and June 4th, you will |
be given the opportunity of supplying
a supper rivaling in flavor those of |
f9n1n1IC Of
True, this will be served by the fam
Gus chefs of the Century Club and in
the Club House on The Green, but if
you love deviled crabs, homemade
cake and strawberries don't take a
chance at missing this feature of the
carnival DON'T be late - hundreds
will be turned away for that reason,
so see that you are there by $50.
There will be fortune telling, dane
ng, bands, merry-gO-round hot
logs" peanuts and ice cream. Above |

MILK AND CREAM have gone of
more than thirty per cent in cost
but ice cream is yet at the old war

off? Its time to reduce the price and

EvERYBODY's FOOD

BREAD is the one food we find
on every table, rich and poor
alike. The most elaborate meal
or the simplest includes bread.
What else can take the place of
milk bread in the dinner pail?
Bread always the staff of life.
There is a big difference in
bread. The plain water bread,
the potato bread and best of all
the Milk Bread, which. has all
the food values known as Vita
mines. And Vitamines promote
tissue building = they repair
waste. They fight off disease,
and furnish energy. Vitamines
are found in milk and when
combined with flour, lard, yeast
and sugar, you get them abun-
dantly in every loaf of PETTY'S
Homade Milk Bread.

Care of the Sick
ARTICLE III

Patients confined to, bed for any
length of time often find the bed
which seemed so desirable changed
into a place of torment. "Bed
WEAKNESS" is hard to bear in any
case of illness, but doubly hard for
persons who are really helpless.
One of the most distressing
annoyances of a patient confined to
bed are bedsores and while not al
ways avoidable much can be done
to their prevention by faithful care.
Those sores are caused by pres
sure on the skin, they are more
likely to appear on the thin skin,
aged or depleted patient.
The weight of the body if contin-
'ued on the same spot for a length
of time interferes with circulation;
any tissue to which the blood is
not bringing the necessary food
supply tends to become weakened
and, if, the condition persists, to
break down altogether.
The direct causet then of bedsores
is pressure and pressure is aggra-
waited by moisture, wrinkles in the
bedclothes, crumbs or hard particles
of any kind.
Prevention Of bedsores depends
upon keeping the skin dry and clean
and upon relieving pressure by
special devices and frequent turn
ing Of the patient. The parts ex-
posed to pressure should be washed
at least twice daily with warm water
and soap and powdered with a good
