They brought her to the new home
where everything was in readiness
and a great crowd had gathered to
greet her upon her arrival.
When the guests were invited to
the basement to partake of the re-
freshments she found a birthday
cake arrayed with lighted candles
and she was commanded to blow
them all out at one blow, which she
did. Many handsome and useful gifts
were received. Ice cream and cake
were served in abundance. At very

ne can control the rate of egg pro-
auction at different times of the wear
Eggs are scare on most general
farms during the fall and winter
when egg prices are highest, mainly
because the hens don't get enough
protein during the winter for good
egg production. An egg, aside from
the shell, contains 1874 per cent pro-
teln, while poultry flesh contains 81. E

SORE THROAT?
DON'T GARGLE
This Doctors Prescription Gives
Quicker, Better Relief

Don't suffer the pain and discom-
Tort OF sore throat. Use a Doctors
prescription called Thoxine guaran-
teed to relieve with the very first
swallow. Gargles and salves are too
slow and if they do relieve, it is US
ually only temporary.
Thoxine has double action-it re-
heVes the soreness and goes direct
to the internal cause. It contains
no harmful drugs and is safe and
pleasant for the whole family. There
is nothing better to stop coughing
due to irritated Threats. Just ask for
Thoxine, put up ready for use in 35c.
6Oc and S1.00 bottles. Money back if
not relieved. Sold by Pettyjohn's and
all other good drug stores. adv

Good quality silk is durable mate
rial, but it cannot be washed like
cotton. Use only lukewarm water
for silk garments, for both washing
and rinsing. Make good suds of a
neutral soap, and wash with as little
rubbing as possible. Be careful that
the silk does not come in contact
with washing powders which bleach,
because these powders may rot the
material.
