To Protect Our Hens.

Greater protection for the American
hen against foreign competitors thar
that carried In the Fordney tariff bill hal
been sought by spokesmen who appeared
before the Senate finance committee te
ask an import tax OF eight cents . dozer
on her product in the shell. The bill
taxes such imports six cents dozen
but representatives Of the American
Poultry Association held that the do
mestic hen could not compete with &C
small . handicap.
According to the testimony of Kno1
Boude of San Francisco, In behalf of ths
association, Chinese eggs threaten to
break the American market. he argued
that Congress should not allow this stu
alton to obtain and assured the commit
tee that the Chinese hens were producing
millions of dozens of eggs which wore
laid down in Chicago at 1S cents dozen
including duty and freight.
Dried eggs from China also are affect
Ing the market for the product of tn,
American hen, according to Harry r
Lewis Of Davisville, R. l., who asked fol
. duty Of "a cents pound on this prod
uct as against rate OF 10 cents q pounl

No Potash Tax.

Late last week the senate finance com.
mittee In congress rejected Senator
Shortridge's effort to insert Q duty on
potash in the emergency tariff measure
and reported the measure out without
amendments. This will be good news to
farmers, for the former joker In the
Fordney tariff bill giving q five year
guarantee duty on potash would be one
of the most disastrous blows which could
be aimed at the present time ct Ameri
can agriculture, just as has been pointed
out in recent issues of New England
Homestead. The farmer needs proteo.
tion far moro than does the domestic
potash producer, and furthermore be de.
serves 1t. This protection does not mean
high duty on plant food which the
farmer must use to produce crops at q
price which will attract domestic con.
sumption. The Fordney tariff bill will
probably be before the senate finance
committee for hearing yet this month,
and those guarding the interests Of agri
culture will see to 1t that the unneoes
sary burden of increased cost Of plant
food is not shouldered onto American
agriculture

Silver Wedding.
THIS POEM WAS READ AT THE TwENTY-FHTH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY OF Mr. AND
MRS. W. b. RAND.

Twenty-Five years ago tonight,
A knot was tied somewhere;
The man who kept the village store.
Promised to provide for the schoolmarm fair.
The knot was tied In quiet way
By the payson or the clerk;
Be that as Il may, here is the point:
The man and wife have not shirked.
They have tOiled and saved,
They have held their own,
And q little more beside.
To-day they seem TO look ahead,
As when they drove steed;
A Ford will do the service now,
SO horse they do not need;
But vet, we learn from newsy ones,
That still there's discomfort,
For Buick 10 better car,
And they III have one you can BET.
We gather here as friends and neighbors
To help You celebrate tonight
We are of the rural type,
But true, we hope you'll ind.
We wish you Joy for many days,
And health goodly store;
A happy home for years to come;
Could we wish you any more3
Accept our token Of respect,
4 loving cup we leave;
We hope We have not bored too much
Upon this happy eve.

The Individuality OF tho Hen.

Each hen has an individuality and her
own notions and customs. That differ
ent breeds have different characteristics,
We oil know, but many do not study
their flock or do not consider is neces-
sary to do 80.
Some ono suggests that hens which
are talked to and made much of will, In
turn, be good layers. There ID = meas
ure Of truth In this; certainly fowls
treated with kindness will do better
work than those which are never tanned
and are frightened at the approach Of
any one. But don't get the idea that
kindness will produce eggs. A hon pos.
sensing no laying strain worthy Of men
tion will never repay ones affection BY
eggs II there are no eggs bred in her.
Secure the breed and strain, add to
this . study OF the flock, and to this
companionshlp and care, and the results
will be Satisfactory.

YEAST BRINGS HEALTH
WHEN RUNDOWN
Strenuous Life Exhausts Vitality Be
cause Vitamines Are Lacking
Yeast Tablets Supplying Them

Certain wonderful little elements
called Vitamines, have been found
to be absolutely essential to health
and vitality; and they must continu-
ally be supplied to the impoverished
body, just as we fertilize exhausted
land. Yet most modern diets, princi-
pally made up of meat, potatoes, pre-
pared foods polished rice, etc, are en-
tirely lacking in vitamines. And now
the great discovery has been made
that yeast contains millions of vita
mines. A little yeast added to the
average diet causes children to grow
more sturdy, checks the signs of old
age, and builds up rundown systems.
Yeast has also been found to be q
splendid remedy for boils, skin trou-
bles, etc
The woodworking power Of
yeast is now common knowledge,
proven by hundreds Of experiments
in great medical institutions. Thous-
ands now take yeast in some form
but it is not enough to take common
yeast, which is intended only to aid
in making bread. The common yeast
cake is only make-shift, because ii
contains about 800 starch and water
and only about 20%o yeast.
The liquid yeast of fermentation,
concentrated and combined with iron
and other tonic ingredients, is the
scientific vitamine treatment. Now
q new tablet has been worked out by
famous chemists, which supplies this
special yeast in just the combination
to do you the most good. This tablet
called IRONIZED YEAST, is sold by
all druggists, packed in santiago
package convenient to carry in the
pocket.
They are pleasant to take and will
not nauseate. The tablets cost but a
fraction more to the dose than the
common yeast cake (only 10 cents 4
