Hillcrest is an institution where peo-

Once upon time, there was a fam
lily of three girls and a mother who
lived in town not so very far away.
They were a happy family. altho the
were not at all in comfortable circum-
stances, and had to work always and
always to keep up expenses.
But the mother began to grow i'll
and weak. She couldn't work the way
she had once. Two bright spots ap-
peared in her cheeks and a hacking
cought bothered her. Someone said
that she had tuberculosis-and it was
true
: Pretty soon she had to go to bed.
The oldest of her three daughters
nursed her mother and faithfully did
ali she could to help her recover. But
it was too late. The mother died.
In her care for her mother, the
oldest daughter had perhaps not been
as careful of her own health, or per-
haps she had inherited the tendency"
all the signs of illness which her
mother had shown, and then she
realized that she had tuberculosis. And
then one of her sisters caught it. 1t
seemed too terrible to believe for
awhile.
Somebody told them of a place on
the outskirts of town not so very far
away, where they might be cured.
They obtained admittance and under
the care they received there, they were
soon on the way back to health.
But their money was all gone, and

mean life to them. If they need pri-
waite room, they get it. n they need
this or that food, they get it.
The city and county every year
allow certain amount of money to
the sanatorium and many people give
it money. But there is not nearly
enough The bills are higher this
year than they have been for many
years.
The food for the patients cannot be
cut down. The sanatorium cannot get
along with less than its three nurses.
In common humanity, patients cannot
be sent out into the world when they
are not well, because of the lack of
money to pay their way. For this
reason, Hillcrest is making plea that
the public h Up out.
1t is a responsibility which rests
directly on you. If you give of your
plenty, someone who needs it will
get the food and the care, without
which he cannot live. If you do not

Rabbit hunting has also been good. but

CHEAP POWDER FOR POULTRY
Mixture of Gasoline, CarboIic Acid
and Plaster Of Paris Will
Eradicate insects.

cheap lice pow der for poultry may
be made by mixing three parts Of gaso-
line and one part of crude carbolh,
acid with as much plaster Of paris
as the liquid will molsten This Is
the suggestion Of the Ohio station.
The powder is allowed TO dry before
using. II may be kept In an alright
container where IL retains its strength
for long period. The powder Is in
flammable and must be kept away
from fire.
Infested fowls when thoroughly
busted are soon relieved from the at
tacks of lice. About lbs birds may
be busted I'm an hour, one pound OF
the mixture being needed to dust ten
mature fowls. For head lice on chick
ems, the use of blue ointment or mer-
curial ointment has been found ef-
fective. one part Of the ointment Is
mixed with two parts Of vaseline and
a lump of the mixture about the size
of a pea is rubbed thoroughly at the
base of the feathers about the head.
