Out of Business Hours

To realize what the antiquity Of
this one is you first must look up the
date of Gen. Tom Thumbs death and
then bark still farther back to the
yet more remote period when that
little man was at the height of his
fame.
Under the management Of P. T..
Barnum, the most famous Of all our
dwarfs was touring the country. Be
tween engagements he stopped over
Sunday at a country hotel in New
England.
A lady of the neighborhood called
and sent up her card with the request
that she be permitted to meet the
general. The message was received
by a member OF Barnum's staff, who
happened at the moment to be in the
generals room. This person, who was
six feet tall and broad in proportion
and something of a wit, asked that
the lady be shown up.
Presently she knocked at the door
and he answered it.
II am looking" she said, "for Gen.
Tom Thumb"
Madam" he said, proceed to
look"
Surely you are not the celebrated
midgetY she cried.
Certainly / am" he answered.
"But just at the present moment,
madam, l happen to be resting"

The Withdrawal of the
Candidate.

When Miss Annie Oakley, the
famous rifle shot, was travelling
through the country giving exhibit
lions of her skill at theaters, she
reached small town in Texas and
her manager inserted an advertise
ment in the home paper for a smart
colored boy to assist in the per-
Torrance. Applicants were instruct
ed to apply at the stage door of the
local opera house at / p. m. sharp.
When the manager arrived he
found the passageway congested with
little negroes, each eager to testify
to his smartness. He made selec-
ton, picking out spry boy of about
twelve. He took his applicant inside
and stationed him near the wings.
You will stand right here and not
move" he said. when the curtain
goes up, Miss Oakley will come out
and talk to the audience for a few
moments. Then l will balance a
small apple on your forehead and the
lady will go over on the other side
Of the stage yonder and shoot it off"
The candidate grabbed for his hat,
his eyes wildly rolling in search of
the nearest path to safety.
"Mistah," he demanded, who's
goin' to shoot whut apple offer whose
haid? Me, why | wouldn't let NAH
own nanny shoot no apple offer nah
haid, let alone it's some stranger!"
And he was gone.

Newbury is linked with Leominster in
comb lore, the former as the birth
place of the industry and the latter
as the largest producer in this coun-
try, the two towns having exchanged
notes and names on the subject since
colonial days. Enoch Noyes started
comb manufacturing in Newburg. the
Hills family brought it to Leomtnster,
where it was established in 1775. and
since then Leominster has led all
towns in this country and probably
leads the world today in the making
Of combs.

in a suburb OF Chicago a prepared

Comb Plays Large Part in History of World

from stories Of ancient times to prove
that the comb had a place also in the
religious rites Of Romans and Greeks
and pagan races.
What religious significance the an

years ago, but in the art of hairdress-

merit and honor in all ages.

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, When the twilight of
evening had dimmed the suns last
rays and the shades of the night
were drawn on September first, 1925,
Companion Harry A. Schoening, was
summoned to "join that innumer-
able caravan which moves to that
mysterious realm where each shall
take his chamber in the silent halls
of DEATH"
AND WHEREAS, He was great in
himself after all, a mans sublime
achievement in life is himself, not
what he may acquire, nor what he
may know, not even what he may do
but what he is. Character is the
true easu of supreme and en-
during value. God crown neither
genius, position nor possession, but
character alone. "Thou hast loved
righteousness, thou hast hated in
EQUITY; therefore, the Lord thy God
hast crowned thee above thy fell
lows"
Milton said, "a good mar is the
ripe fruit earth holds up to heaven"
Companion S%choening was a good
man, an honored man, a loyal citi-
zen and a true Companion.

CalOric
Requirements
of the Child

~lEllI1ANO declare InaL the aver
age boy or girl of four years
should receive about forty calories a
pound Of body weight per day. The
average weight of a child Of four years
is forty pounds. Therefore the total
calorfc requirement would be APP
proximately LOGO calories. Calory is
merely the name for a certain meas
ure of heat derived from the burning
Of food.
Necessarily, the caloric requirement
of the child is dependent on his
temperament, since a child who plays
hard and long requires more nourish-
ment than one who leads a q%uieter
life. Rate of growth also has a bear
ing on caloric requirements. The
child who is growing rapidly should
be given more food to meet his caloric
needs than the boy or girl whose
growth is normal.
Mothers know the daily diet should
consist of the essential foodstuffs, pro-
te1n, carbohydrates, fats, minerals ana
water. The important thing for her Is
to learn the foods that contain these
essentials In a balanced diet. Below
is a w~ell-balanced menu for any child
six years old compiled by an authority
on home economics.
