The old woman, who had not had
a caller in five years, looked from one
to the other with a sudden yearning in
her tender old eyes.

anything to decorate WITH" she said
'In the city we used to have palms
and Easter lilies, and no end of ferns

"But there are the woods" suggest

"Yes, the woods are useful around
here in spring. 1 notice from the
kitchen windows; and sometimes, be-
fore they get up, take short walks"
Her hands were still trembling, but
into her eyes was coming an express
sion which Mrs. Perry remembered to
have belonged to her old days.
do you mean for me to take charge
of the decorating?" she asked.
Eyes, but of course with plenty of
help. 1 don't know much about ar

He turned hastily and glanced
through the window. Something in
the rapturous expression on the old
wOman's face made him lose command
of himself for a moment.
"Wen, I shall need help in gath

be things to cut and bring home, and
boxes and boards to build up for the

very nicely. There are some bushes
along the creek that I can fix up to
look very much like palms at a little
distance, and that dark moss below

NINETEEN EGGS IN MARCH
GOOD RECORD FOR ANY HEN

No oOnahde Doultryman ever gets
excited over tales OF hens that lay two
or even three eggs daily.
Even provided hat the tale is not
a child of somebody's fancy, the stunt
cannot last. Il will b the old story
of the hare and the tortoise. and any
wise poultrymRn banks more on The

If hen lays ninsteSn OeEs IN March,
she is doing well, thinks W II. Allea,
poultry specialist Of TIM New Jersey

is going to make this record, she must
have special care.
He recommends especially that plenty
of oyter-shells and water be supplied,
that twelve to fourteen pounds of mash
per 100 birds be consumed every day,
and that birds be not let out until there
is green food for them to eat.
What is coming out of the incubator
these days is another question of vital
Importance to every poultryman. Low
matches, the specialist says, are due to
poor eggs that lack vitality plus
machine that is not being run properly.
To overcome the first difficulty, poor
eggs. here are a few dos" and
"don'ts."
Give the breeders exercise and plenty
of green feed. And give them milk.
Collect Matching eggs often and hold
them at a temperature Of so to SO

Do not incubate eggs which are more
than ten days old.
Incubator laws must be obeyed.
Operate the incubator in a cellar, pro
vide good fresh air, but avoid draughts
from windows and doors.
Operate according to the manufactur-
er's directions
Figure five eggs in the incubator now
for every pullet to be put in the laying
houses next fall.

A new minister had come to slow
moving. Out-Of-the-way Spruce Hill,
and with his coming had appeared a
spirit of change and improvement.
Among other innovations was the
Easter sermon and church decoration.
The new minister made the announce

hoped all would be present, and that
the ladies of the church would ar
range for a tasteful and appropriate
decoration.

BIG EATERS GET

Take Salts at First Sign of Bladder

The American men and womer
must guard constantly against Kid
ney trouble, because we eat too much
and all our food is rich. Our BLOOD
is filled with uric acid which the kid
neys strive to filter out, they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish; the
eliminative tissues clog and the result
is kidney trouble, bladder weakness
and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have
rheumatism when the weather is bad,
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine This fam
GUS salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine SO it no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.

WOULD FIGHT GERMANY
Arctic Adventurer Travels Three
Years to Enlist.
Arrives in Nome and, Not Knowing
the War Was Over, Tries to En-

Could Fight in France.

Nome, Alaska.-An arctic adven-
turer, B. d. Seaman, sailed into Nome
from the frozen north recently, and
not knowing that the war was over,
tried to enlist in the American army so
he could fight in France.
Seaman said he had been three years
getting to Nome from the Coronation
gulf country, which lies far east on
Canada's Arctic coast, and during his
journey had received no news from the
outside world. He left the gulf, he de-
ciared, in October, 1918, when he first
heard the United States had entered
the war. Seaman was formerly
member of the then Royal Northwest
Mounted police.
Soon after Seaman started for Nome
the small schooner on which he was
jOurneying was wrecked in the ice, be
said, and he and his companions were
forced to walk 81 days before they
came to an Eskimo village. On their
way they lived on roots.
Seaman gave an interesting descrip-
ton Of the life of the Eskimos of COro-
nation gulf. The natives, he said, still
use the bow and arrow, but are grad
