Jersey Will Not Cling
to Tafeta UndersIip

Have you often wondered whether
there wasn't some way that you could
keep your jersey costumes from cling
ing so to your figure? 1t seems to be
one of the greatest drawbacks to this
popular fabric-but at last it can be
eliminated. Chanel has introduced a
soft taffeta underskirt with her new
est jersey suit and it promises to be
universally adopted The jersey will
not cling to the taffeta and the taffeta
is so light that it will not rustic. This
is very good idea for loosely woven
tweeds as well.

How 1t Started
"DEVIL-MAY-CARE"
BY JEAN NEWTON

COZ, THE devil may eare! This
~ is a phrase which we some
times hear used as an expression OF
Indifference, or applied to a person
who takes things not very seriously
or intensely, who does not worry and
cannot be ruffled, who is irresponsi
bic and easy going"
1t was as descriptive of certain
person that the expression had its
origin. Its contribution to modern
speech is part of the great legacy left
to posterity by Charles Dickens. In
his well-known "Pickwick Papers" we
find the quotation in which the term
was first used, as follows:
"He was a mighty free and easy,
rowing devl-may-care sort of person,
was my uncle"

 Why should the Democrat Senator Dimond be anxious to secure the reappointment of the(?) Republican Henderson, if Henderson were not an important cog in the by-partizan machine?
 And how about the support from Senator John w. Dunn? He is cheek by jowl with the fed eral governor. We thought for a while that the Senator was a fool in politics.

REPORTER WANTED FROM
MAGNOLIA

The Milford Chronicle would be
pleased to have reports each week
from the town of Magnolia, as to the
happenings in all public affairs of
general interest, as well as the So
cial news. To a person sending
such weekly letters, the usual terms
for reporting rural news will be
paid. There should be some one
with local pride in having the COM
munity before the public, as well as
notice of social and public affairs
that interest all the people, who
would undertake this work, which
would not require much time to
write out from either memory or
notes. The church, the schools, the
deaths, marriages and social affairs,
told with clear statements, is al
ways interesting. Write and let us
know if you can and will do this.

should be sprayed with a strong
solution of dip and disinfectant.
Whitewash is another preventive
that is not used nearly so much as
it should be. 1t is well to apply it
at least twice year and put it On
hot. If two or three ounces of dip
and disinfectant is mixed in each
gallon of whitewash it will be very
effective in killing mites and other
insects. 1t should be forcibly spray
ed on if possible, as that will drive
it into every crack and crevice
where parasites might find hiding
place.
Tainted foods, too, can cause no
end of trouble. MOuldy grains are
particularly dangerous. Damaged
or cheap inferior feeds of any kind
should not be fed at all. Cheap feed
is dear at any price. Limberneck,
bowel disorders and other troubles
are caused by eating spoiled feed.
Feed of the best quality only should
be fed.
In plain everyday cleanliness,
however, comes the greatest protec-
tiOn against the possible invasion of
disease. Houses should be so con-
structed that they can easily be kept
clean, and have either solid board
or concrete floors that will permit Of
easy cleaning and disinfecting. Clean
quarters cannot very well harbor
disease germs. Special care should
be exercised in disposing of the
droppings. NoXious gases arising
from droppings are very harmful to
the fowls. Furthermore, the drop-
pings harbor disease germs without
number, and intestinal worms be-
sides. Droppings should be remov-
ed frequently and used for fertilizer
away from the flock. Dead birds
should be burned or, buried deeply,
and a regular cleanup program
should be carried out often. This,
with the regular use of a good coal
tar dip and disinfectant, will prove
very effective in preventing many
and insect pests.
Of course, disease may take its toll
of any flock, no matter how careful
iy cared for. AS rule, however, any
extra effort invested in such pre-
ventive measures as those describ-
ed above will pay big dividends.
Strong, healthy fowls, protected as
much as possible from the various
sources of disease, will resist epi-
denies that would wipe out others.
They are also more vigorous and
productive in every way.

Following the rule of the confer

of Maryland, the District of Colum-
bia and nearby Virginia churches,
from the Eastern Shore of Virginia,
from Pennsylvania, Delaware and
from two churches in New Jersey,
all within the conference.
DR.. Makosky, in his report, touch
ed on prohibition, and declared the
liquor traffic was doing everything
it possibly could to discourage
friends of prohibition. He maintain

for wet propaganda than ever be-
fore because there were "25,OOO,OOO
of young people who were under IA
years of age or unborn when the
Eighteenth Amendment was adopt
ed" He said "the church must carry
to this vast number of young people
the facts concerning the evils of the
liquor traffic.
