Court Rules the Home
Is Where Husband Lives

CHICAGO.-Federal Judge John
P. Barnes ruled that a woman's
home is with her husband.
The ruling was made in the case
of Ruby Atwood Boyd, who a month
before her marriage to Stewart
Boyd on February / filed suit
against Boyd asking $4,000 dam
ages as a result of injuries suf-
fered in an automobile accident near
Saugatuck, Mich, in October, 1888.
Mrs. Boyd's attorneys had asked
transfer of the. case to Federal court
because Boyd's home was in Hol-
land, Mich, and his wife's home, at
the time the suit was filed, was in
Chicago. Judge Barnes ruled that a
wife lives where her husband lives
and remanded the case to the Michi-
gan Superior court.

Women's Clothes Button
To Be of Most Service

The Haberdasher states: "The
story connected with the placing Of
buttons on mems and women's coats
is an interesting one. Tradition
hands us the following, and it is rea-
sonable enough to be believed:
''In former times when men wore
swords on all occasions, 1t was fire.
quently necessary to be quick on the
draw. The weapon, of course, was
invariably fastened at the left and
in order to draw 1t from its scab-
bard with quick dispatch, such
emergencies made it necessary to
place the coat buttons at the right.
Obviously, furnbling would have
been fatal. As the left hand reached
to the right in order to inhibition
the coat, the right hand went to the
left and drew the sword.
''Now for the ladies who also en-
ter into this pleasant legend in a
most agreeable way: AS has been
the custom since time immemorial,
it is the practice Of women to hold
baby in the hollow of her left arm
which engages both the arm and
the hand. It becomes clear that If
the .woman's jacket is to be unbut-
toned easily it must be done with
the right hand without disturbing
the position of the child; hence the
necessity of buttoning the jacket to-
ward the left which permits usage
of the free right arm in either but
toning or unbuttoning her gar
ments."

Traces Sum Worship to
The New Stone Are Era

Worship of the sun as a distinct
object apparently did not start until
the new Stone age when man had
developed a crude agriculture, OBJ
serves a prominent authority in
the Wisconsin Star. In the old Stone
age all nature was looked upon as
ga great human ghost" the spirits
of the dead were supposed to enter
into natural objects and the trees,
animals, rocks and clouds were en-
dowed with human qualities.
With the advent of crops regularly
sown and harvested, the one natural
object upon which these crops de-
pended was singled out for special
reverence. A great wealth of sun
symbols Is first noted in this period
Of pre-history. The paintings and
carvings Of old Stone age men show
no designs that can be connected
directly with the sun.
Worship of the sun has gone
around the earth. It was a promi-
nent part of the religion of ancient
Egypt, where at one time it was
refined into monotheistic system
which ranks as one of the world 8
great religions. It was almost uni
versal among American Indian
tribes, reaching its greatest refine
ment amang the Incas of Peru,
where the rulers were supposed to
be directly descended from the sun.
The Japanese ruling family trace
their NEUROLOGICAL descent from the
same source.

W AR NINa,
Wood Ticks Are Back Again

Some OF the wood ticks are car
riers of the infection that causes
Spotted Fever or Tick Bite Fever.
We have one case of Spotted Fever
in Cecil County at the present time.
All those who live in tick infast-
ed areas and whose business or
pleasure takes them in tick infested
areas should use all possible pre-
cautions against being bitten by
ticks.
Tick Bite or spotted feve: is con-
tracted either from the bite of the
disease-carrying ticks or through
absorbing the infectious material
through break or scratch in the
skin. The disease does not spread
from person to person.
The following specific precautions
should be taken.
/. Look out for ticks On your
body or clothing. Make a careful in
pection at least twice day if you
are pichicking, camping, or, are en-
ployed in a tick infester area. Pay
particular attention to children who
play in uncleared land. Children are
likely to be bitten back of the ears,
or on the head hidden by the hair,
or on the neck. Don't overlook these
or any other hiding places in your
inspections. Examination of the
whole body is necessary.
2. Be careful in removing any
found ON the body, or In taking
them off of dogs or other animals,
not to crush the ticks between the
fingers. If the insect is deeply en-
bedded use small forceps, or protect
the fingers with a bit of paper or
cotton. Swab the place from which
the tick was withdrawn with iodine.
Dip the fingers and forceps in alco-
hol afterwards, and wash the hands
thoroughly with soap and water. A
drop of crude oil or motor oil may
be of help in withdrawing ticks
from dogs or cattle.
8. If ticks are very abundant near
permanent camps, spray the area
and trails around the settlement
with cresote oil; cut grass very
short around dwellings, along paths,
and near bathing pools and shores;
cut out and burn underground.

WHEN PASTURE NEEDS HELP

st. Louis, Mott Is calculated that a
cow weighing 1000 pounds and produce
ing IL quarts of milk daily-and getting
pasture only-requires each day 100
pounds of grass. This is a great deal
Of grass especially when it has to be
grazed. On pastures good enough to
yield 100 pounds of grass per acre per
day, this cow would need muzzle four
feet wide and would have to push it
over two miles every day to obtain
enough grass to satisfy her needs.
Grass Is Great Feed
"There's no question about the milk
stimulating properties of green, juicy
grass" says D. H. Van Pelt, Purina
Dairy Specialist. when cows are first
turned on grass, milk production spurts
to higher level. No wonder dairy
farmers are tempted to quit feeding
their milk-making ration!
"What they don't take into consider
alton is the fact that pasture stays at
its best only short time. AS it's quail
ity deteriorates, milk production grad
ually falls off. This is wildly confirmed
by the following typical experiment,
conducted at the Purina Experimental
Farm

of that time she had lost 100 pounds

After months she had gained As

A Costly Practice
cit would be a shame to let COW like
No. 1893 go through the spring and sum-
mer on nothing but grass, then freshen
with her body weight down right ahead
of the fall and winter lactation period.
It would cost far more in feed and care
to bring her back into better produce
ton and condition." Van Pelt says.
Common sense and long experience
dictate that it pays to feed supple
mentary grain ration with pasture,
right from the start.
"On flush pasture the regular winter
grain ration should be cut in half"
recommends Van Pelt. GAS the season
advances and grass loses more and
more Of its stimulation, the grain ra-
ton should be increased enough to hold
up production. In the long run this
method uses less feed, is less costly,
and contributes greatly to the life and
milking capacity of the cow"
