Does formaldehyde weaken with
age? Unless it becomes contaminated
with dirt or kept in a very warm place
it has a tendency to become stronger,
since the evaporation Of water is
greater than gas. Sometimes it crys-
talizes which means that the formalde-
hyde has almost tripled in strength,
but it can be reduced to normal
strength by adding sufficient water to
dissolve the crystals.

ELECTRICITY AND
WINTER HOLIDAYS

Winter on the farm! The long eve
nings are approaching, and with them
come the winter holidays. First
Thanksgiving, and following soon
afterward, Christmas and New Years
then, in February, Lincoln's and
Washington's birthdays. Each offers
a chance to break in on the monotony
Of cold weather and snow by happy
program of festivities in a farmstead
aglow with light and warmth.
Assisting In such occasions, on
are ingenious decorations of light,
little strings Of electric lights, made
primarily for Christmas tree decora-
lions. They can be used for any in
door party, however, by simply at
taching the plug at one end to an cleo
trio light socket. Then the little col
ored lights may be strung here and
there around the room or laid around
the dining table.
The lights consist of small Mazda
lamps with tinted bulbs. They come
in strings Of eight to dozen, and
there are extension strings which can
be joined to the original string to
make q longer rope Of lights.
High grade Mazda Christmas tree
sets, got out by the General
Electric Company, operate from spe-
cial transformers, taking their cur
rent from the lighting circuit. They
can be depended upon and even If one
of them is broken, the rest burn on just
the same. For indoor parties or holiday
celebrations they are ideal because
they give people chance to deco
rate with light" and they are capa-

aged to survive the crisis. But his
wife died, and he grew lonelier and
lonelier. If he had had few thou
sand dollars he would have sold out
and gone south to live, somewhere
away from this bleak New England
coast. But he could just manage to
make both ends meet. Daily he cursed
his brother in his heart.
He started raising turkeys, and that
was failure. Only the gobbler lived.
He used to watch the bird with in

odd how it looked like John.
He began to call it John. 1t had
queer way Of putting its head upon
one side and calling, as John used to
do when he was boy. Gradually, to
old Silas' fancy, the gobbler became
an efiigy Of John. He hated it.
He hated 1t, and he was attached,
too. He made a sort of pet of the
gobbler. He wanted 1t to love him,
so far as turkey gobbler is capable
of love. Then, when Christmas came,
he was going to cut its throat very
slowly, bending It's head back to see
the terror In It's eyes. He would thus
have his revenge upon his brother.
