THREE IN ONE

Three special nationwide health
observances: Child Health Day, May
1; Mothers Day, May 8; and Better
Parenthood Week, May 1-8, are link
ed together in proclamation issued
by Governor Nice, emphasizing the
Importance of these occasions and
calling upon all Marylanders to do
all in their power toward the fur
therance of year-round activities
for safeguarding the health and well
fare of children and young people
and for the promotion of whole
some family life in this State.
Calling attention to the Gov
errors proclamation, DR.. r.. IL.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health said ''The health of
the mother, the welfare of the child
and the development of family we'll
being, are so inseparably connected
that we think of them as we do of
the famous musketeers-Onef for All
and All for One.
"The aims of the triple observance,
as pointed out by Governor Nice are
the furtherance of measures to
secure:
For All Children: Safe birth.
normal growth, protection against
disease and accident:
For All Mothers: Protection against
avoidable dangers; adequate care
before, during and after childbirth;
For Parents: instruction in the es-
sentials of personal and family
health; protection against avoidable
illnesses; environmental safeguards. :"
The Statewide program stresses:
THE right of every child and every
mother to adequate protection.
1.-The right of every young child to
be protected against diphtheria
and smallpox and to be safeguard
ed against other diseases and
against ayoidable accidents.
1.-THE nutritional needs of growing
children.
THE recreational needs Of children,
and young people; for safe and
suitable places for play and
pleasure and for protection again
st avoidable danger
ITO these we have added: The
need for education for parenthood.
This is implied in all of the othc.'
headings but is particularly emphas-
lied in accordance with the Cover
nor's message.
1.-The triple obervance challenges
each of us to even greater and more
personal interest in each of these
particulars and deepens community
responsibility for cooperative and
constructive efforts toward their
realization"
Arrangements for the health OBJ
servance throughout the State are
under the direction of the Child
Health Day Committee of which DR..
]. H. M. Knox, Jr., Chief of the
State Bureau of Child Hygiene, is
chairman. The committee includes
representatives of State and City
Departments of Health and Educa-
ton; State and County Medical
Societies; organizations concerned
with the care of mothers and chill
dren; recreation groups. service
clubs and other groups"

FARM INCOME FROM MILK AT
TOPS

Milk and cotton gather in the &C.
onomic laurels as figures compiled
show the total farm cash income
from milk for the twelve months OF
1887 was 81, 475,0OO,O an in
crease of $58,000,OOO over 1886
and $490,OOO,00O greater than the
low of 1882.
Ability of the dairy industry to
maintain cash payments to farmers
for milk and employee payrolls is
evidence, says the Milk Industry
Foundation, that this $500, 300, 900
industry is a mainstay of agricultur-
al purchasing power during periods
of recession.
Farm cash income from milk of
$132,000,0O0 for January was the
largest for the month in eight years
and 1913 per cent greater than in
January 1887. Total farm cash from
marketings of all other farm pro-
ducts was down 10 per cent.
An important factor in the steady
increase of dairy farm income re-
suits from the axiom that farmers
benefit most from milk sold in fluid
form to homes, stores, hotels. resta-
urants.
Foundation reports from 1876 mar
kets throughout the country show
that payrolls CT milk companies were
4.3 per cent higher and employment
down only 1.S per cent in January
1888 compared with January 1887.
Further evidence of the import
ance of fluid milk distribution to
economic stability is that despite
curtailed business activity during
the last quarter of 1897, milk COM
pany payrolls increased 4.S per cent
and employment z per cent over the
last quarter OF 1886.

Why Finishes Preserve
and Beautify MAHOGANY

Wood is finished for three reasons,
according to the Mahogany associa-
ton. First, to seal the surface. This
greatly reduces it's ability to take
on or to give off moisture which in
turn causes wood to swell or shrink.
This also keeps out dirt, making the
wood readily cleanable. Second, to
bring out the beauty. Proper finish
ing, without deep staining, brings
out the beauty of the grain and fig.
ure, and deepens the luster. Third,
to change the color. This is done
by judicious staining Cor bleaching)
to obtain uniformity of color tone
and to give Immediately the rich
sherry color that comes naturally to
mahogany with age.

Why Puritans Were So Named

The name Puritans was originally
given about 1864, to those clergy
men of the Church of England who
refused to conform to the liturgy
and discipline as arranged by Arch
bishop Parker and his coadjutors,
and insisted on a return to ''pur-
er" form of faith and worship. In
later years when such disagree
ments led to actual separations
from the church and the formation
Of independent sects, the name was
applied to all sorts of seceders, who
ultimately became Presbyterians,
Independents, Baptists, etc.

~ AIN p6ISOuS dIC ISduy " ou
MI init that they have need of
\ u patience. Some are earnestly
striving to cultivate it, and occasion
ally someone may feel that he has
measurably succeeded in realizing
1t. One engaged in any legitimate
pursuit may exercise this quality in
the sense of perseverance or endur-
ance in working toward some desired
end. But in other respects 1t enters
into ones attitude toward affection
provocation, or any evil, either as a
negative, passive endurance or else
as a positive spirit of fortitude,
meekness, and unconquerable trust
in good. 1t was in the truer sense
that the writer of the epistle to the
Hebrews, after referring to the
great fight of Affections" which
they had endured, said to the Chris
tian converts: "Cast not away there
fore your confidence, which hath
great recompense of reward. For We
have need of patience, that, after We
have done the will of God, We might
receive the promise" Hebrews 10:
80, 35, 36).
The world has witnessed many fine
examples OF forebearance of one to-
ward another, in view of another's
seeming faults. infirmities, or need
for comfort or care; examples of
courage necessary to face difficult
conditions with calm expectation
of some desirable outcome, and of
kindness maintained under vexa
tious stress. Indeed, In all such in
stances of discipline patience is
equivalent to an undaunted conf
dence in something higher and bet
ter than the troublesome error. And
this shows that good Is ever present
and that 1t is in some measure
grasped and manifested by right
thinking persons.
Much greater, then, is the impetus
toward "patient continuance in well
doing (Romans 2:7) when, through
Christian Science, good is discerned
as divine Principle to be understood
and demonstrated; when it is seen
that we need patience toward our
selves, as we seek In calm persever-
ance to know the spiritual reality, SO
that after we "have done the will of
God" we may receive the promise"
What is the will of God, and what
IRE the promises to be fulfilled, as
our thoughts are conformed to His
to consider, that we may learn
wherein we "have need Of patience"
Cultivating a calm, steadfast charac-
ter is praiseworthy; but gaining true
patience means more than this. 1t

Why Printing Was DELAYED

Printing in the Americas" as
cribes the reason for the delay in
printing after America was settled
to the attitude of the powers over
seas who ruled the colonies. Print
ing was forbidden in some COL
onies and discouraged in others.
Governor Berkeley of Virginia said
that he thanked God that there were
no free schools nor printing, for
learning had brought disobedience,
and heresy, and sects into the world.
and printing had divulged them, and
libels against the best government.

YOUR oLD-AGE INSURANCE
Three Types of BENEFITS

There are three types of old-age
insurance benefits. First, the month
ly retirement benefits, which will be
payable in 1912 and thereafter; Sec
ond, the. lump-sum payments which
are provided for workers who reach
age 65 before they qualify for
monthly benefits; and third, lump
sum payments which are made to
the relatives or estates Of workers
who die before they receive old-age
insurance benefits to which they are
entitled.
Lump-sum payments may be made
now, or at any time after January
/, 1887. Those who are entitled to
such payments are men and women
who have earned wages, since the
last day of 1896, in some factory,
workshop, mill, mine, store, or some
other line Of industry or business
covered by the law, and who have
attained the age of IS since Janu-
airy /, 1887. They need not retire in
order to receive lump-sum payments.
The United States Government
will pay death benefits to relatives
OR estates of wage-earners who have
died since January /, 1887, and who
had participated in the old-age in
surance system during 1897 or
thereafter.
Here are three stories which il
lustrate the three types of benefits.
| (a) Mary Johnson works in
shirt factory, five years or more.
after the last day of 1896. Sh-
works in the factory part of each of
these years and in that time is paiu
$4,000, or more. Then she reaches
the age of IS and quits work in the
factory. For the rest of her life she
will receive a Government check
every month in payment of her old
age monthly retirement benefits.
(b)Now suppose Jane Gray works
in a factory two years after 1886
and before she reaches the age of IS.
After she reaches the age of 8: she
will receive lump-sum payment of
old-age insurance, amounting to 31a
percent of all wages she was paid
by the factory during those two
years. And she will get that lump
sum payment whether she quits
work or not
Co Suppose Linda Marsh is EN-
ployed in a drygeods store several
years after 1885. Then she dies be-
fore she reaches the age Of SIS ami
of course, before she receives any
of her old-age insurance benefits.
What happens? Relatives or estate
will receive lump-sum payment
amounting to " percent of all the
wages she was paid, by the store,
after the last day Of 1896.
Men or women, who have reason
to believe that they are entitled to
lump-sum payments of old-age in
surance, should write or call at the
nearest Office of the Social Security
Board.
The Baltimore Office is located at
100 Hopkins Place.
Questions concerning old-age in
surance may be sent to this paper
or to Mr.. Luther Becker, Manager
of the Social Security Board office
at 100 Hopkins Place. Answers will
appear in this paper.

Of 1888 have come near to an aver
age of a million dollars month it
is not expected that this high figure
will continue much longer. In fact
those most conversant with the prob
lem Of unemployment express the
view that for the calendar year as
whole the total will not exceed
$6,000.000, or an average of a half

WHY Grocer Is So Called

In former days one who dealt in
spices, sugar, dried fruits, tea, and
coffee, etc., was called spicer,
and wholesale dealer in these ar
ticles was known as a "spicer en-
gross" or a "grosser, one who
dealt by the gross or bulk. Gross
is from the French "gros," mean
ing great or large, and in time be-
came "grosser." probably due to
the influence of the French "mer-
chand grossier," became simply
grocer.

Why Winter Flowers Cheer

Our pioneer ancestors had no
greenhouses from which they could
be supplied, so they were much
given to gathering bouquets of per-
sistent bright-colored leaves and
late fruits, to give a note of cheer
to their houses during the long flow
erless months of winter. And even
though we can get fresh flowers any
month of the year Cat price, we
continue the custom. Probably ia
vorite of ell plants for this purpose
is the climbing bittersweet, which
grows over a very large part Of
this continent, says Science Service.
Its orange pod-segments, opening
to disclose the bright scarlet cover
ing of its seeds, have also given it
the very apt old-fashioned name of
"waxworks.

At the Purina Experimental Farm
where thousands of birds are raised
each year three definite periods in the
pullet cycle are recognized. The first
is the pullet development period from
March through August. The second
period is the high price egg season from
September through January, and the
third period is the February through
July season of declining egg prices,
500 Production Profitable
Tin the second period lies the secret
of profitable poultry raising" Burrell
ssys.s "The poultry raiser who hits the
high egg price period with big we'll
developed pullets, turning in so percent
production or better, has birds that
net only pay for the cost of their care
ard feed but pay big margin of profit
above all costs. The poultryman who
fi..ds himself with a flock of knotty,
sc-awny, under-developed birds in 80
percent production or less is bound to
lo-s money and regret the fact that he
rolghed his pullets during the grow
Ing period"
To build big money making pullets
with strong bodies and well-developed
eg3-making organs is the job of COM
plate, Well-balanced growing mash. All
the things pullets need for building
bones, blood, muscles, feathers, and
egg-making organs must be scientific
csjly blended into it. Keeping birds
off unclean or contaminated range:
providing airy roosts; shade during the
day; ample, clean housing; an album
dance of clean drinking water; and
pl2nty of nutritious growing feed are
prime requisites for growing money
making pullets.
Complete Feed Needed
A complete, balanced growing feed
that provides growing pullets with all
the ingredients they need for quick
sturdy growth in just the proportion
pullets require, is one of the many de-
velopments at the Purina Experimental
Farm. big sturdy pullets at 20 weeks
don't just happen" Burre% points out.
"By starting with well-bred chicks,
feeding them well during the first six
weeks, and then giving them the best
care and feeding during the growing
period, the poultryman gets the best
insurance he can buy for having
money-making pullets when it comes
time to fill his laying house in the fall.
Pullets grown out properly always
stand up better under the strain of
production, maintain a higher rate Of
production, and are better able to
Withstand seasonal 1et-downs."
Ohio Experiment Station figures on
chicks Matched April and grown out
properly from the sixth to the twen-
tieth week show flock average Of 100
eggs per bird. Late maturing pullets
laid only 113 eggs during the same
period.

"ROUCHINC' GROWING
PULLETS CUTS DOWN
FALL EGG PROFITS

There's a lot of truth In the old
saying that q poultryman makes or
breaks himself by the way he manages
and feeds his pullets from the sixth
to the twentieth week." says J. H.
Burrell, poultry specialist at Purina
Mills. "But most poultrymen don't dis
cover their loss until late fall when
egg prices shoot upward and they find
their pullets not ready for laying"
Most poultrymen give their chicks
proper care the first six weeks. But
unfortunately many poultrymen feel
that after the first six weeks chick
should be able to take care Of itself.
The lot of the six weeks old chick
is too often cast in poor range, straight
grain feeding, and among the bugs it
can pick up. "A let-up in chick care
and feeding at this time is costly" Bur-
rell comments, "since the let-up retards
growth, impairs development. and FREE
queptly lowers resistance to point
where pullets are subject to costly dis
eases. Pullets drag on into the fall
not laying-not paying"
Fall Egg Prices High
Any poultryman who "roughs" his
birds during the growing period must
expect them to trough" him in return
when time comes for pullets to go into
the laying house. Every egg produced
in September, October, November, De-
cember, or January is worth two eggs
produced in any of the other seven
months-but 1t takes well grown out,
strong pullets to keep up production
and pay back feed costs when egg prices
are high.

Style Chats

Paris (U.P)-Simple combinations of red, white and blue-Without any fancy nuances of shade, are begin- ming to assert themselves more and more on the Paris color chart.
 Blue, to be sure, has the advantage over red and white, for it stands alone in many creations. Most deep blues have resolved into navy blue, which is seriously threatening black. Light blues and blush-lavender tints are dominating the field of pastels and are combined with anything from ruby red to cocoa brown. Molly neux has striking sport suit in a blue hydranga shade of wool, stitch ed visibly with cinnamon brown.
 But those who do want to f1irt with unusual combinations can cling to the good old red, white and blue. Smartly correct, the combination is traditional enough to give it an air of conservatism. It is to be found in the enamelled drum shaped buttons which ornament one of the Duchess of WindsorS black wool outfits made for her this spring by Mainbocher. And it is seen to advantage in the red, white and blue plaid silk blouse which is worn un- der a sleek town sports tailleur of black which Vera Borea has in her collection.
