TOLL LIST
BOOSTS STORES SALES

A department store in Kansas has
adopted unique, highly practical
method to keep in touch with their
out town customers
Following an investigation, the
store management discovered that
not single toll telephone charge
was over 30 cents for towns within
a radius of so miles, and that many
were much lower Accordingly, the
store, in it's advertising, has been
printing a list of the neighboring
towns and the toll charges from each,
and has been stressing the advantage
of doing business by telephone. AS
result, not only have telephone orders
increased remarkably, but the mail
business is also steadily growing,
for many customers who ordered first
by telephone in an emergency, have
continued to buy through the mails
when time was not a factor.

HINTS ON FEEDING YOUNG CHICKS

what they will clean up in Is minutes
on the eighth day, and gradually in.
creased to what they will clean up in
ninety minutes on the twenty-frst
day.
A good growing mash is kept before
the chicks after the twenty-first day.
Grain is fed three times day in
amounts increasing with the appetite
of the chicks and in litter increasing
in depth with the size of the chicks.
The aim is to give them a good whole
some ration, and to feed it in such a
way that they are kept busy and
active.
In addition to milk, grain, grit and
mash, chicks need plenty of sunshine
and green feed. In more modern
language they need vitamines "A. B.
and D. No ration and no method of
feeding, however good, will succeed
when these vitamines are lacking or
deficient Skim milk is very good
source of B., as are most of the
grains; but both skim milk and grain
are lacking in vitamine A. Green
feed, such as kale, lettuce, alfalfa,
clover and the green leaves of cab
bage is rich in vitamine A. Green
feed is also source of vitamine d.;
but green fed without sunshine will
not provide enough of this vitamin to
give normal bone development. There
fore, to get the best results from any
ration, green feed and sunshine must
both be present.
When green feed and sunshine are
lacking, as they are frequently in the
early spring, cod liver oil will be
| found to be an abundant source OF
| both the A and D vitamines. But the
| use of cod liver oil is becoming so
general that the supply is getting
scarce and the price getting high. 1t
should be used only when fresh, and
only when necessity demands it, The

CHAPTER 80
The Secret of the Topaz
BY F. J. MCCONNELL and GEURGF W. PYP
Copyright 1925


"And now for the secret Of the to-
PAIL" exclaimed Buck jubilantly.
The dawn was just breaking over
the purple summit Of Sierra Diablo
They had left their car at the noun
tain's base, and were sitting on the
rocks, in front of flat topped boul-
der upon which Stella had spread the
two pieces of the map.
Buck drew forth from his blouse
the weirdly cut topaz he had stolen
from Taggart. Both their eyes gleam-
ed as they regarded 1t.
"Taggart carried it for years
knowing it meant something-but
never knowing what" grinned Buck.
He turned the gem over in his hand,
and finally, his face lighted in tri-
umph, he pointed to tiny picket,
sealed up with wax.
There" he said, "the secret is in
there"
He laid the topaz on the boulder
table, and using the hard steel of his
revolver as a hammer, pounded it.
Stella looked alarmed at this action,
but before she could stop him the to-
paz was smashed. From among the
pieces Buck extracted a tiny scroll OF
paper unrolled it, and their eager eyes
read:
Gave at letter D."
The feverishly consulted the map.
Scrubbed across the Typographical
lines were the words Sierra Diablo."
Bucks finger moved across the words,
stopping at the letter d. He studied
the map carefully at that point, then
exclaimed:
II know the opening! Stumbled on
to it once before, but never thought
nothin' Of it. Come. It's not far"
He led the way, and they trudged
over rocks and lodges for half an
hour. Finally they reached winding
passage cut between high, oddly
shaped rocks.
"This is the entrance" Buck cried
in feverish glee. Stella followed on
trembling with excitement After
winding their way through the rocks
for five minutes, they stopped sud
denly, in frozen establishment at the
mouth of cave, in the stone wall Of
which was carved a weird Yaqui god
which frowned down upon them. They
pushed in past the idol into the cave.
"The treasured" Buck cried, and
Stella echoed his words
There, glittering in the weird light
that streamed through the cave open
ing, lay huge piles of gold, virgin gold,
diamonds, precious gems of all kinds
ancient jars and vases and boxes,
filed with yet more gold and jewels.
Almost transfixed with wonder, they
kneeled in the midst Of the treasure,
picked up handfuls of it, and let the
precious metal and gems slide through
their fingers, in an ecstasy of greed.
At last, when they had marveled at
the treasure for several minutes,
Bucks thoughts returned to earth, and
he cried:
Quick. Back to the car. Bring the
boys to help move the stuff. l sent
them up to the camp where you jump
ed with the parachute You'll find
them there by now. Rush them back
here. III stay on guard"
They'll want proof" said Stella.
Buck filled her hands with gold and
gems, which she placed in her hand
bag, then started off.

Nature provides the young chick

afraid to trust man or she didn't
know that man was to be around at
feeding time. At all events she
stores, within the body of the chick,
enough delicious egg yolk to last it
three days.
Mans first job is to give nature a
chance. His duty for three days is to
keep the chick quiet and comfortable.
If he chills it, or overheats it or feeds
it, he spoils its digestion. II he keeps
it in light room, or under any con-
ditions where it can find something to
swallow, he is likely to ruin the chick.

The best practice is to give them
nothing but milk to drink and nothing

WHY MUSIC IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL

And haven't gotten over it yet!
Masterful music always sweeps my pulse along in
time with the rhythmic beat of its measure, that I
lose sight and thought of the mundane things of life.
And ocko's music did that for me Sunday. He plays

STRANGE FOLKS

One of the strangest exhibitions
of inconsistency we daily see exhi-

circulates any salacious bit of rumor
that comes his or her way.
Not infrequently the character as
sasin of this type is a person who
prides himself or herself upon per-
sonal rectitude. Yet without any
attempt to verify the widest and
most serious rumor, or thought of
the unchristianlike action perpe-
trated they go about broadcastinr
the gossip and unctuously philoso-
phizing; even, every often, hypo-
critically expressing sorrow.
