CHURN NUMBERS ARE USEFUL
Makes II Simple Matter to Separate
Different Cummings and Sell Ac-
cordinp to Score.

The use of churn numbers. so that
the receivers OF butter can more
readily sort out separate cummings, is
urged upon creamery men by food
products inspectors Of the bureau of
markets. United States Department OF
Agriculture. In a lot of butter rec
emily examined by these inspectors
the score varied from Ss to 90. As
no churn numbers were shown, the
only way the receiver could separate
the butter was by examining every
tub. II the churn numbers had been
shown, II would have been a simple
matter to separate the various churn
lngs and sell them according to score
II Is not possible to take time to ex
anime every tub. so the butter is SOLD
according to the samples taken and
nj a discount II the samples vary
widely, II there should be just one
poor tub In the shipment and the
sampler happens upon II, the whole
shipment would suffer. while II churn
numbers are used only the tubs In
that churnlng would receive the lower
score.

City Planning in Schools.

grades we use a primer which covers
all the activities OF a city in a com
prehensive way. "A good example
of this type Of primer Is the one used
by Walter Gidlnghagen, principal of
Humboldt school,"
In this primer these are some OF the

ECONOMIC VALUE OF BEAUTY
of Connecticut in Arbor and
Bird Day Proclamation.

Governor Lake of Connecticut In his
proclamation appointing Arbor and
Bird day made some excellent points.
He recommended that all citizens, but
particularly the teachers and pupils
in schools, observe the day and added
Let the pupils of our schools be
taught that the planting and care of
shade trees, the protection of birds and
their eggs Is not only an economic
measure, but contributes to the beauty
of our state and the enjoyment Of our
homes. / further recommend the for
nation of town and village improve.
ment associations to encourage tree
planting and bird protection and tC
exercise interested care over matter,
relating to the scenic beauty of ouI
towns and cities. Well-kept roads
streets and lawns enhance the value
OF property and promote the general
welfare of towns and villages"
Observe especially the last sentence
"Well-kept roads, streets and lawns
enhance the value of property and
promote the general welfare of towns
and villages"
Here is official recognition OF the
economic value of teauty. Common
experience shows that Governor Lake
is right. If every community continues
its cleanup until every lawn is well
kept and every building tidy and
painted. won't the tendency be to in
crease property values?-Exchange.

The pipes and boards pack onto the

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need a medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes. medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.

BLOW PATCH FOR
USE IN EMERGENCIES
Using Temporary Repair Too
Long Is Big Mistake.
II Should Be Removed and New lee

Give Balance Of Milaoe Of

Using a blowout patch too long
is a costly one to motorists. This patch
Is a car owners first and best remedy
for a blowout on the road, but 1t is a
temporary and not a permanent re-
pair.
A blowout patch is only to assist in
the roadside emergency. After the
emergency is past. it should be re-
moved and a permanent section built
In the tire to enable it TO give the bal
ance of the mileage of which 1t is capa-
BILE.
When the patch is made to answer
h purpose of a permanent repair, the
warping of the tire incident to contact
with the road causes the patch to Sc
riously chafe the inside of the a r
cass. The result is that where a small
and inexpensive repair would have
been sufficient If taken in hand at
once, an expensive repair is now need

cure.

permanent repair is too long neglected.
The blowout caused by a tread cut
Is usually a clean-cut hole. If 1t Is
ragged looking, a severe bruise is prob

raveled and torn apart, fabric separa-
ton is often the reason.
The motorist who would escape
