lightning.
All sections of the county were Wis

flooding the streets and roads and
halting all forms of traffic. The
Washington and Rockville electric

RICHMOND. Va. July 31.-Many
of the churches of the city are taking
steps looking to reversal of the posi-

soft drinks, ice cream, cigars, Gig

Not case was reported by the
police, who had been directed by
Chief Sherry to refrain from that in
view of the regulation by Justice
Ingram. II was not expected that
the churches would accept this CON

The question is expected to take
shape at the next session OF the
legislature. when an attempt viii be

At School in the Old Stone Wall
From the beginning to the end
All must the school of life attend.
old Mother Nature.
There isn't a nook or crevice in
the old stone wall that Striped Chip
munk doesn't know. He knows the
old stone wall as you know your
house. All his life he has known
Johnny and Polly Chuck, so he
knew just what kind of a place
would probably suit the young
Chuck, who wanted to make his
home in the old stone wall for
while. The young Chuck was de.
lighted for Striped Chipmunk led
him straight to a hole that had
been dug under the old stone wall,
with an entrance between two big
stones. 1t was an. entrance just the
right size for the young Chuck to
pass through easily. He was very
grateful to Striped Chipmunk ;~1d
he told him so.
Don't mention it," replied Striped
Chipmunk, his bright eyes twink
ling. Don't mention it. l hope
you'll enjoy it here. I'll be glad
to have a neighbor." Then without
another word he scampered away.
The young Chuck soon made him
self at home. Within just a few feet
of the bushes along the old stone
wall was plenty of grass and ten
der, sweet clover. There was almost
no risk at all in getting all he want
ed to eat. Truly it was delightful
place. He no longer thought of go
ing back home. He was satisfied
right where he was. So he spent
his time eating and sleeping and
growing and learning lessons.
He didn't know he was learning
lessons. but he was. One of the first
thir gs he learned was that Bowser
the Hound was quite harmless to
him unless he should be\ careless
enough to be surprised too far from
the old stone wall. He learned that
Black Pussy the Cat was no longer
to be feared by him, but that she
was a constant danger to Striped
Chipmunk. So whenever he saw
her he would give the alarm.
He learned to know the feathered
folk who lived in the Old Orchard,
and to understand their warnings
of danger. 1t didn't take him long
to find out that their eyes were

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

hkeeper, thriftless manager, going
slovenly around the house, and en-
forcing a ball-and-chain slavery upon

she feels that they belong to her

right to tyrannize over them as
much as she likes.
Nagging-The way in which a
woman expresses her love.
When a woman quits fretting at
her husband about everything he

tells his wife every day that she
grows younger and more beautiful,
and takes an interest IN holding her
hand after they have been married
for thirty years.
eglect-Failure to pay compli,

of amusement.
A man may work his fingers to
the bone to give his wife, luXurles,

THESE. AND MY BEST WISHES

THESE, AND MY BEST WISHES
L have three letters from people
who engaged cockerels. asking me
d. to keep them until they can get rid
of roup or sorehead. And it be-
moves all of us to use that ounce
of prevention and clean up things,
as we'll as to get the birds in shape
to resist disease.
Last year a lady wrote that for
twelve years she had escaped sore
head by putting the inner bark OF
the black jack" oak in the drinking
water. ! did not try it, but some
that did reported it A success. now
ever, have found that what will help
some flocks will fail on others. ]
am giving directions for the oak
chips once more, as it will not hurt
to put it in the water. Here is
what the lady says: When L see
the first symptom L go at once and
get the bark of the black jack oak.
l chip off the rough bark and take
the next layer, chip it off and put
double handful in a gallon of water
and let them drink nothing else.
The same bark can be used three
days, if you keep adding to that
first gallon of water. If the first
ones should get some bad sores
don't do a thing but grease them
with vaseline. | seldom have to put
1t on more than two or three.
Yesterday | noticed some young
sters that had been running in the
tomato bushes had rather tntlamed
looking heads. I caught them and
creased each head with a stiff mix
turs of carbolated vaseline and sui
phur, and it occurred to me that
such treatment would be good for
the whole flock. 1t certainly will
not hurt them and may prevent
.sorehead, so all the others will get
their heads creased in a day or so.
Roup comes from dampness. 1t
may seem eXtravagant to stop
everything and put a new roof on
the henhouse, or to fix dry place
for the growing chicks, but count
the chicks that are moping, or have
died, and you will see that money Is
lost by not doing things in time to
save tho chicks.
Some seasonabIe recipes have
been requested, so try these:

] language which Is entirely diff
ferent from that which men use
in speaking of each other.
! Same here, for although women
use the same words that men use,
they give a different meaning TO
them. ~
So far, we have had no female
| photographer, but when a Mrs.
Noah Webster arises in our midst
and complies a dictionary it will run
something like this:
NICE-An adjective that damns
with faint praise.
You say woman Is nice when
you mean that she hasn't got a sin
gle charm of mind or body that
makes you afraid OF her. It's nice
girls that YOU invite to the house
when your grown son is at home or
your bachelor brother comes to see
you, and it's your nice women
friends that you ask to go along
on an automobile trip with your
| usband. Nice is also a hair-puliirg
word between women. To be called
nice is a more deadly insult than
to be called hussy.
SWEET-Dun. Stupid. Boring.
Utterly pepless. The thing you say
about a person or thing when
politeness or policy prevents you
from expressing your real opinion.
"She is such sweet girl' is what
you say to a boy when you are try
| ing to make him dance with a girl
who wears high-necked dresses, and
thick stockings, and flannel under
wear in winter, and whose mother
! takes her to parties where she
papers the wall. Sweet is the adjec-
tive you apply to the hats and
dresses that'your friends have made
| themselves, an that look it.
SYMPATHETIC ability to shed
barrel Of tears.
| Any woman who can turn on the
waterworks at q moments notice
and flood the place over a dead cat
! or sick canary bird IS sympathetic.
Sympathy does not involve the
alienation of misery. A woman will
be spoken Of by other women as
sympathetic because she weeps over
the hard lot of the poor widow with
nine children whom she is evicting
for non-payment of her rent.
RELIGION-Orth
Thinking it wicked to question
the teachings of the church. Has
nothing whatever to do with ones
daily conduct.
FAITH-The ability to believe
things that you know are not tn ue.
| LOVE-The sentiment you feel
toward people that gives you the
right to treat them as badly as you
please, and that excuses you for
| using toward them any of the con-
siderations that you would show to
a casual stranger.
If a woman loves her husband
she feels that her affection for him
atones for her being a poor house
