CHILDREN WITH WEAK HEART
Cardiac Disease Shown to Be Prev
alent Among Hieh-Schoof Pupils
of New York.

Heart disease is more prevalent
among pupils of high-school age than
among those in the elementary grades,
according to an announcement made
by DR.. Royal S. Copeland OF the Pub
lie Educa ton Association of New York
City. THE results of a complete phys
ical examination of 516 pupils of the
eastern district high school, Brooklyn.
showed 8 per cent affected with car
diac disease, as against 1.5 per cent
among all pupils of the elementary
grades" Doctor Copeland said, "The
examination of the high-schOol pupils
was made under especially favorable
conditions. OF the boys who were
examined 10 per cent showed cardiac
trouble and per cent of the girls
were found affected.
There can be no doubt that the per-
centage of cardiacs increased with ad-
vancing age, rather gradually, from
eight to fourteen years. 1t reaches
its maximum at that age"

prepared by the United States Depart
mert OF Agriculture.)
Hazards which sometimes accom-
pany the incubation of eggs are large
IL nyOidable. Fertile eggs from vigor-
Gus breeding stock are necessary in
order TO obtain good matches.
Free range for the breeders is most
desirable for the production Of fertile
eggs with vigorous germs. but all eggs
produced from such hens should not
be used for Incubation. Eggs that are
abnormally small and poorly shaped or
those having thin or very poor shells
should be eliminated. Dirty eggs or
those badly sOiled should not be used.

sOiled eggs they may be cleaned by

sary.

which have not received proper care.
In preparing the nest for the sitting
hen, put from three 10 four inches
CT damp earth or a piece OF grass sod
in the bottom of the nest before the
nesting material is put in TO provide
moisture. When the hen becomes
broOdy, and before she is transferred
TO the nest for sitting, she should be
busted with insect powder or sodium
fiuorlde. In doing this hold the hen
by the feet with the head down, work
ing the pcwder well into the feathers
This should be repeated about the
eighteenth day of incubation so as to
be sure that there are no lice present
when the chicks are hatched.
The hen should be moved at night
fl ON the regular laying nest into the
nest where she is TO be set. The lat
ter nest should be in some out-of-the-
way place where the hen will not be
disturbed. In order to make sure that
the hen will continue TO stay in the
new nest, she should be started with
one or two china nest eggs. If. at

tie lead, with 1868, followed by sheep
and swine in order. Smaller numbers
of horses, goats, and asses make up
the remainder.
AS regards quality of the female
stock, fowls are first, with 20 per cent
purebreds, and swine next, with 65
per cent, while 81 per cent of the cows
are purebred. Grade female stock
ranks highest with horses, sheep, and
cattle in the order named. Cross
breeding is much more prevalent with
sheep than with any other class Of
stock. Only 2 per cent of all the fe-
male stock recorded as being bred to
purebred sires are scrubs and the low
est proportions of these are found in
sheep and swine.

INCREASED EGG PRODUCTION
Highest Number of Eggs Obtained
From Mash Composed of Meat
Scrap and CornmeaI.

The highest egg production in poul-
try-feeding tests conducted by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture were obtained from a pen receiv-
ing a mash composed OF four pounds
bran, four pounds middlings, 20
pounds meat scrap, and 66 pounds
cornmeaL
This ration has been one OF the
best mashes, giving consistent high
production over a period OF several
years. and is not distinctly different
from the mash used in the wheatIess
ration, which has also given very good
production.

Warner Brothers Company Finds Entire Industry Has Held Up Well In Face of Depression
 Little For Trade to Worry About

Women may have stopped wearing corsets for one reason or another, but if they have the Warner Brothers com pany of this city know nothing about it, and Warner Brothers happen to be the largest manufacturers of cor sets in the world Not only has the entire industry held up surprisingly well in the face of depression, but the Bridgeport concern reports that in all probability the volume of goods pro- duced this year will be-~the greatest in the history of the business. Some of the departments are not running at full speed, as they supply other concerns as well as their own, but the number of corsets actually sold for 1921 will undoubtedly be at least as great as in any previous year.
 L. T. Warner, the sales manager of the company, shed some light yester- day on reports which have recently been heard to the effect that women were not wearing corsets as much as they used to, and he also told of some of the steps which his company has taken in the past few months to further increase their sales. He ex- plained that the rumorS are due to the fact that women are not wearing 2 the same sort of corset that they used to wear, they call them by different names sometimes and they think that it is stylish to say that they do with out them.
