Poison Ivy Hit Colonists.

Poison ivy was one of the first
aggrayating pests found in the new
world when the colonists first came to
America. In fact. Capt. John Smith,
as early as 1909, wrote of having
found it, and gave a very accurate
description in some of his records of
the effect of the weed. Strangely
enough, he was never poisoned by it
himself, but saw the sufferings of
others on a number of occasions.

In achieving this feat, the members

RIGHT ATTENTION
TO NOTING HENS

One of two things should be done
with hens around Noting time, says
a raiser in an exchange. One is to
let the older hens go before they fair
ly get to the time for shedding their
feathers. They have now laid out
their litter and must have some time
to get through their sick" period,
during which they bring in nothing
and keep eating. Every hen that is
getting along in years should walk the
plank, right now, unless she is spe-
ciaIly valuable as breeder If we
would sort our fiocks over and do this
early, we would be good deal better
off at the end of the season.
For the younger birds a different
course must be followed The one
great thing Is to get the hens back to
laying after the mott as soon as we
can, and have them in good physical
condition. For that reason our treat
ment must not be so radical, as some
advise. but natural and steady. IL
you watch a molting hen you will see
that she is inclined to be weak and
less vigorous than formerly. If she is
not really sick, still she is under the
weather" This is because of the
drain while losing the old piumage
and growing aew crop Of feathers.
Begin the treatment By cutting
down GA the food, especially the
heavy. hearty food. for a few days.
Meanwhile give the hens all possible
chance to roam around at will It
may take some coaxiag to get Them to
do this, but it Is better for them than
to dump about ia the houses. The
more the hen stirs around, the health
Ter she will be.
About the same ratios may be given
during the period Of molting that Is
used when the hen Is laying eggs reg
ulariy. But as the mott goes on, it Is
good plan ia add some oil meal,
which enters into feather construction
quite largely. Ten per cent of Oil
meal in mash mixture, increasing to
twice that. will do nicely Watch the
droppings and act accordingly. Don't
give drugs; they are dangerous and
may lead to trouble. Sunhower seeds
are better than medicine. BE kind and
patient with the melting birds.

Why Promote Him

Promote him because he is intellect

profit by the work in the next grade.
But he only got 20 in spelling and
so in history. How can promote him
when the passing mark is 75?'
Don't insist upon the passing marx
for the cases it doesn't fit. This boy
does poor work in spelling. Spelling
is a matter of eyesight and practice
in writing. If be keeps at 1t long
enough he will get it. He may as well
practice on the eight-year words as
on the seventh. You say he Is perfect
ly well and very intelligent.
THAT is just it. He can do his work
but he doesn't IL he IS to be pro

Clues to Character
BY !. O. ABERNETHY.

There are people who are miser'
able when there is nothing for them
to do. These people are tenacious.
persistent and full Of stick-to-it.ive-
ness.
Here YOU will find development Of
the lungs and liver. The face ex.
hbits q rather long nose and promi'
nent, large nostrils. especially at the
tin. There is a receding forehead, and
in youth the lower part of the face is
inclined to he oval. except where
square bones are present. 1t also
produces a high. arched chest. bright
active eyes, quick motion and lively
gestures.
Such persons are pioneers, and ac-
tive workers in all walks of life. The
worlds fighters are of this class.
Physically they are characterized by
large bones and joints. hard muscles,
rugged and angular frames, broad
shoulders, deep chests and fiat ab-
domens.
Pioneers. diScoverers, warriors, ora
tors and aggressive people in thought
and action. the world over. will be
found within this class. This causes
them to excel in pioneering and geo.
graphical discovery, and in all pur:
suits where great activity and con-
slant motion are required.

Policy of Disbursement.

Yes, you write petty well, Natalie.
But | wouldn't take ii too seriously
il were you. Better confine your lit
erary efforts to personal letters. Then
| they won't do you or anybody else
any harm. If you try to make a
living out of that sort of thing. you'll
be likely to starve." Thus Jessie to
her best friend.
But why did you say that to Nat?"
we asked, in some bewilderment, after
the aspiring young writer had left.
You know perfectly well she has
great talent; that it will be only a
question of time before she's writing
for the magazines regularly What S
the big iden?"
ITS good for her" Jessie told me
griinly. "If | told her what ! really
think OF her stuff. she'd get vain and
start overrating herself. After hear
ing the kind of line | handed her,
she'll work harder than ever TO PROV q
| m wrong. She'll have a smaller opin,
ion of herself and that $ IA good thing.
Jessie isn't the only person in the
world who believes in the policy OF
encouragement. There are hundreds
OF teachers who assure their pupils
that their gray matter is so far below
normal 1t will take years for them TO
catch up with children their own age.
And there are millions OF girls. who,
in order to prevent each other from
getting conceited. tell each other dis
couraging facts or uoa-factS.
Is this always succesStul? Not at
all
Children who have been called stupid
too often grow up with a firm con
viction that their mentality is below
normal, and II takes Years to give
them confidence in themselves again.
Girls who are discouraged into
thinking they're bad dancers, or
writer's, or musicians, or artists, some
times lose all hope and interest i'll the
line which should have brought them
success.
Marie was Interested in studying
languages. She was progressing rapid
~ and had begun TO show remarkable
aptitude in picking them up.
Walter had been watching her
anxiouslv and f8ncied he detected
signs Of a growing bump of conceit.
SO he told her one evening that she
was doing as well as could he eN-
pected, but she really hadn't an ear
for languages at all.
Which, somehow. took all the starch
out of the girl friend. She lost in
terest right that moment. and there
after was so sef-ConSclouS ana nefV-
Gus when attempting any foreign
conversation that she gave up all hope
of being a linguist.
Mothers who, in order to prevent
vanity, tell their daughters that
they're ugly, plant the seed of an in
feriority complex that may some day
work havoc with young lives.
II your boy or girl friends are par
ticularly keen about some study or
hobby don't think to further that in.
terest by words of discoura cement and
ridicule. You may kill all their hope
and interest right then.
A friendly pat on the back will work
