Holland ColDs Always
Well Taken Care OF

Cows In Holland are treated with as
much consideration as human beings.
They have the best of food Their
sheds are furnished. They even have
overcoats when they go out.
There are lace curtains In the win
dows of many Dutch cowsheds. And
the floors are laid with shining white
tiles, kept spotlessly clean.
Lest her tail should drag in the dirt
the Dutch COW hass 1t held up by a
neat chain from the roof. Her horns
are scrubbed and polished. She is
carefully groomed, says writer in the
London Mail.
AS she spends eight months of the
year indoors, perhaps these comforts
are necessary. To tighten the darkness
of winter the cowshed Is provided with
electric light. There is also some kind
of heating system.
The Dutch spring is generally very
cold and windy. Therefore, when the
lucky Dutch COW is turned out to Craze
In May she Is well wrapped up. The
pampered animal must not catch cold.
Everything, from the shining milk
pals to the beautifully carved milking
stools, is as clean as 1t is humanity
possible to make it.
There Is farm in Holland where
pigs are kept-and where each pig has
sort Of little bathroom attached to its
sty.

Candles Play Big Part
in Chinese Ceremony

While both domestic-made and i'm
ported candles are extensively sold in
China, their uses by the Chinese are
distinct. The imported candle is pre-
ferred for illumination and 1t is al
most exclusively used for this pur-
pose.
The Chinese-made product, unlike the
foreign candle. which is usually white
comes in variety Of shapes, sizes and
colors, red being the most general,
says the Detroit News. The red candle
is used for ceremonial purposes, at
weddings and at other gala events.
In recent years foreign candles
stained red have been imported TO aid
in filling the demand at what is per-
haps the worlds greatest candle-burn-
ing event, the Chinese New Year.
Those of plain white take their place
In funeral ceremonies at the death Of
elderly persons and those Of light Blue
or green are to be seen at funeral serv-
ices held for younger persons.
AT weddings candles decorated with
wax flowers are used, as well as others
made into figures Of the dragon and

newly married couple. In these the

evil spirits that he believes the magic
of some spiteful enemy to have placed
in occupation Of his body, writes G. K.
Ohesterton In the Continental edition
Of the London Mail.
Upon payment Of suitable fee the
witch doctor takes up his clients case
In a manner vaguely resembling bar
rister accepting brief. While the bar

searches for precsdents and tunes up
his eloquence, the witch doctor does
even stranger things such as the

Of a magic fire and the murmuring Of

hills and very nearly as old as some of
our legal precepts.

Successful control requires
the introduction of new prin-

control one of these principles
utilities the attraction one sex
has upon the other. Another
uses poison in such way that
it is readily eaten and at the
same time a little of it is
made to give big results with
very slight outlay for labor.
Still another takes advantage
of the increased attraction one
foodplant, sweet corn for in
stance, has over others. A
fourth uses attractive foods,
such as pre-maturely ripcned
apples or peaches, in such
as to cause wholesale destruc-
lion at trifiing cost. This sys-
tenn of control has been sub
ject to official investigation for
over two years. Send for my
free literature, or be sure to
keep this advertisement for
reference, if you intend TO
fight this insect. For best re-
suits you must dispose of the
beetles before they lay eggs.
This is easily accomplished un-
