ed by the senate the soldiers bonus
bill would become effective January
1, 1923, and would provide three
optional plans for veterans of the
world war, other than those whose
adjusted service pay would not ex-
ceed $50. These would be paid in
cash. The options are:
Adjusted service certificates, pay
able in 20. years or sooner at death
and containing loan provisions.
Vocational training aid at the rate
of SITS a day up to total OF l40
per cent. of the adjusted service
credit.
Aid in purchasing farm or home

per cent. Of the adjusted service Gre
dit if the money were advanced in
1928 to lao per cent of the adjusted
service credit if the payment was
made in 1923 thereafter.
Adjusted service pay, or adjusted
service credit, would be figured on
the basis of 81 day for domestic
service and $1.25 a day for foreign
service, less the $50 paid at dis
charge. But in no event could the
amount of the credit of the veteran
who performed no overseas service
exceed $500 and the amount of the
credit of the veteran who performed
any overseas service exceed $625.

GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend Is to Preserve Tooth
and Make II Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.

Gold teeth are going out of style,
according to practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend is to pre-
serve the tooth to make it look as
near as possible like it was originally.
If this can't be done the offending
molar or incisor must be pulled out.
The idea of pulling teeth is some
thing comparatively new in American
dentistry. The tendency was to save
the tooth at all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also is not as popu-
lar as it once was. To make bridge
two good teeth were filed down as
anchors for the mass of gold in be
tween. If the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with it
Now dentists recommend a plate OF
false teeth instead of the bridge
These being removable, are easily
kept clean. The dental science is now
spending its energies more on serv
iceable plates rather than on bridges

DEMAND is FOR WHITE EGGS
An Exceptionally Keen Sense of Taste
Would Be Required to Note
Any Difference.

1t would take an exceptionally keen
sense Of taste to distinguish any diff
ference between white and brown eggs
at breakfast, but human beings are
such faddists that In the opinion Of
some, the difference is there just the
same. In New York the demand is
for white shells, while in Boston the
brown egg is just as popular.
"Some men will have only Dutch
Belted cattle or Hampshire hogs,
said one of the poultry specialists in
the Department Of Agriculture. "They
are color enthusiasts. The liking for
white-shelled eggs may have grown
from associsting the egg with the
white poultry, an agreeable picture
suggesting cleanliness. Actually, how
ever, the brown-shell egg is every bit
as good as the white until you arrive
at the. price in New York. The differ
ence there sometimes is considerably
in favor Of the white"
At present all the general purpose
breeds of chickens are layers of
brown eggs. Some Of the leading mar
kets demand the white egg, however,
and as the price favOrs the white
product it is important to supply 1t If
possible and at the same time produce

be dressed in the same way as com

fore shipping, whether he wants the

If the feathers are to be left on
the birds all that IS necessary in pre-
pairing for market is to bleed them
by severing the principal blood YES

hang head downward until bleeding

If the feathers are to be removed
it should be done by dry picking. When

WAY TO CONTROL COCKLEBUR
First Essential Is to Prevent Weed
From Maturing seed-Shading
Crops Also Helps.

The first essential in cocklebur con-
troll is to prevent the weed from ma
turing seed. If the infested field is in
corn, the cultivation must be careful,
killing all the plants possible with the
cultivator and finishing the others by
hand or with the hoe.
Thick-growing shading crops help to
control the weed. Such crops as Sudan
grass, sorghum and even soy beans
and clover will reduce the burs. A
badly infested field or part of a field
can be moved and burned. Fence
rows and other waste place should be
watched for stray plants which will
mature seeds unless attended to.
