SEEN AND HEARD

1t is painful for some people to
think.
One who ~circulates truth is as great
as the discoverer of it.
If you treat some men ~courteously
they think you are easy"
We appreciate the real thing after
We have seen the imitation.
Feed the family prunes once In
awhile just on general principles.
Most of us take better care of our
automobiles than we do of ourselves.
Don't let ambition get SO far ahead
that 1t loses sight of the job at hand.
Remember that to-day is your op-
portunity; tomorrow is some other
fellows.
A business, like the plants in the
field, begins to so to seed as soon as
it stops growing.
An interesting and popular form of
solitaire is figuring how rich you'd be
il you'd stayed single.
A little vanilla and a couple of
straws will help get a glass of milk
down any cranky little fellow who
thinks he doesn't like it,"
Washing dishes and hands at the
same sink is a mighty u%nsanitary com
bination, especially when the hands
are fresh from the barnyard.
Dried vegetables and fruit are ex-
pensive compared with our own gar
den products, but cheap compared
with sickness and doctors bills.
Although something of an idealist
myself l always like to see a few re-
dictionaries on the board of directors
of any company in which | own stock.
If an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure in the seed spud game,
an ounce of corrosive sublimate is
worth a pound of sulphur. Treat your
seed potatoes!
No, they haven't settled hat old
argument yet about whether the egg
or chicken came first, but they do
know that eggs, as well as other kinds
of animal protein, are mighty good for
chickens.
Says grandpa: 1t would be a whole
lot better for our town if some of
these fellows who are misers with
their deeds and spendthrifts with their
conversation could urn a somersault
once in awhile.
Now that all the peach borers have
been gassed out, and the trash cleared
away from the trunks of fruit trees to
break up rabbit tea parties, pruning
will help to keep life from getting
monotonous for the orchardist.
One i'll wind that blows nobody any
good this time of year is a draught.
But that doesn't mean that we should
not sleep with our windows open at
night, and air the living rooms every
once in SO often during the day.
Why not have clean furs? Gasoline
or suds made with CASTLE soap and a
little borax, followed by several rims
ings in clean water, will brighten them
wonderfully. When almost dry, they
should be rubbed up until pliable.
Speaking of gassing, have you heard
that about SO per cent. of all the peach
trees in New Jersey which are five
years of age or older were treated
with P-C-Benzene for borers during
September and October? 1t took from
Is to 20 tons to do it.
We hear a lot about the well bal
anced meal. What is it? Let vege-
ableS and fruit furnish ~ per cent.
of the fuel; milk, meat, eggs and other
proteins 20 per cent; cereal foods, 80
per cent; sweets, 10 per cent, and
fats and fat foods, 20 per cent.
The windows of the Pleasantville
Bargain House have been attracting
the attention of all passersby. Deco
rated for the holidays by an artist in
this line from Philadelphia they sure
ly present an attractive display of
goods and compel the attention of the
eye.
One answer to the eternal question:
What to make the bachelor friends
and relatives for Christmas lies in nat
ural pongee handkerchiefs, through
which simple designs are drawn with
colored threads. If you have time, his
monogram embroidered in the same
color will particularly appeal to his
fastidious taste.
