Sussex Feed Dealers Are Urging
Bird egmforts


Feed dealers of Sussex county this

tributing circulars on the necessity
OF providing bird comfort" in the
production Of higher quality brOilers
at less cost per pound.
Bird Comfort is achieved by pro-
viding temperature, control, dry.
clean and absorbent litter. fresh air
and freedom from drafts
According to H. l.. Richardson,
poultry specialist. Indigestion is a
common result Of oyerheating or
chilling of chicks. This indigestion
lowers the resistance OF the birds to
coccidiosis and other chick diseases.
Generally chicks are more often ov-
erheated than chilled. Delaware Ex-
tension Circular No. 80 points out
that the proper condition of the
brooder house is best obtained by
keeping a good FIRE and by opening
more as the chicks get old |
er. Too often windows are not open |
ed and the fire is cut down. This |

Necklace lines around the throat
and wrinkled knuckles and elbows
are handicaps to beauty. These,
fortunately, usually can be elimi-
mated more easily than those
across the forehead or around the
eyes.
Persistent Dreaming is important,
of curse. Massage hand lotion into
knuckles and elbows each time
you use it on your hands. Once
or twice a week, massage night
cream into them and leave a little

Cuticles as well as knuckles will

all night or at least for a couple
of hours. Several manufacturers
of beauty preparations for the
hands now sell inexpensive gloves
for this purpose, along with var.
ious creams or oils.
Use Lotion Each Day
By all ean scrub your elbows
with a bath brush or nail brush
each time you battle. Put grease.
less lotion or hand cream on them
before you dress each morning and
six times a week at night. On the
seventh night, use some of your
regular face cream. In other words,
keep the skin from becoming dry
and your battle with elbow wrinkles
is half won.
Your throat should be thoroughly
creamed each night with upward
and outward strokes. Rinse it for
several minutes every day with
very cold water, preferably iced,
And do regularly the simple ex'
ercises which relax the back OF
the neck and tend to keep the
muscles of the throat firm. Incl,
dentally. don't forget to put foun
dation lotion and powder on neck
as well as face.

better republic will come when its
people are better qualified for it."
The patriotic object of the society,
Mrs. Robert stated - ito cherish,
maintain and extend the institutions
of American Observation-Disclosures
the D. A. R. as of semi-public char
acter. Thus in it's adherence to
principle it cannot avoid misunder'
standing or escape criticism, Mrs.
Robert said adding:
"When some fifteen years age
the society discerned beginnings OF
a movement designed to undermine
the principles upon which this ma
ton is founded, and suggested that
these activities be brought into the
light, there were those who thought
the society's position unjustified
They criticized, and sometimes ever
ridiculed. Events have gradually
proved that the society's contentious
were well founded. It costs to be a
pioneer"
Speaking of the work of the D.
a. y III ooo1oI11l5 SoQll1 ~ DO lCdOy
for citizenship, Mrs. Robert listed:
Nearly $50, 1000 children of all
races and creeds in D. A. r. Junior
Citizens clubs.
Over 1000 young people assisted
each year to complete their educa.
ton through student loans.
Some 5000 senior high school
girls every year participating in the
Good Citizenship Pilgrimage con.
test.
Thousands of mountain schoo.
children assisted in securing an
education.
Over s650,O00 expended for ap
proved schools since 1880.
More than 5000 900 copies of the
D. A. R. manuel for citizenship dis
tributed free since 1922.
Over 800, 900 leaflets and other
literature to promote appreciation
of the American way of life, distri
buted annually in response to re
quests from college, civic, educa
tional and governmental groups.
Speaking of the work of the

President General OF D. A. R.
Principal Speaker At Session

HIGH POINT. Feb. 2s.-sum-
mary of an address delivered by
Mrs. Henry NJ. Robert, Jr., presi-
dent general of the national society
of the OAR, at the annual con-
vention in High Point:
America still has its frontiers,
and pioneers who face the new hori-
IONS have many tasks to do, Mrs.
Henry NJ. Robert, Jr., president
general of the Daughters of the
American Revolution declared to-
day.
Pointing out that the national So
ciety has now turned fifty" and
nears the half century mark of it's
existence, Mrs. Robert observed:
1T costs to be a pioneer"
The president general, on a tour
of several weeks attending confer
ences in eleven states devoted her
address to a review of the work of
the D. A. r. since the society was
founded in 1890 in Washington, D.
C. She said:
THE Daughters of the American
Revolution have never Stunned a
duty o evaded an issue.
To-day we face a troubled world.
AS a society and as individuals we
meet new obligations. While recog.
nizing these with faith and courage
we must stand firmly upon the be.
lief that Americas progress for the
future can best rest upon those
foundations already tried and prov
ed.
Our philosophy as a society has
been that we as Americans can do
more for u OWE and for other
nations by maintaining those insti.
tutions which have created in the
United States of America the worlds
highest standard of living, not by
suffering these to fall, but by lifting
others to them"
Praising the wisdom of the four
patriotic women who founded the
society, Mrs. Robert declared they
said much more than that the three
purposes of the D. A. r. should be
historical, educational and patriotic.
Thus, she. pointed out, dedication to
historical activity is expressed: ITO
perpetuate the memory and spirit of
the men and women who achieved
American Independence
Explaining this Mrs. Robert said
Probably no other organization
has marked more historic spots. OF
preserved more historic buildings,
In addition is there not another OBJ,
legation in fulfilling our first object:
If from the men and women who
achieved American independence
there is something worthy to pass
on, if what they did has meaning fol

u country today, is it not through
you and me, their descendants, as
the medium or the agent, that their
spirit should 20 on to benefit 9th
ers?"
AS a practical demonstration of
the spirit it %endeavors to perpetuate,
Mrs. Robert spoke of the work of
the D. A. r. in aiding in the recruit
ing of nurses during the Spanish.
American a Some of these
nurses did not serve the six months
required to secure a government
pension. Mrs. Robert said:
But few outside Cur own mem.
bership know that the national so.
ciety, Daughters of the American
Revolution, feeling somewhat re
sponsible in having selected these
nurses for duty, has for several
years paid a pension to those nurses
whose service was too short to Sc.
cure a government pension. The
youngest of these Spanish-Americar
war nurses is now in the early
seventies and the Oldest approaches
ninety"
Speaking of the Revolutionary
war, Mrs. Robert said:
The society's attitude in per
%petuating the memory of one revolu
ton, while at the same time oppos
ing others has some times beer
questioned as inconsistent.
The American Revolution was q
war to maintain and to perpetuate
those liberties and privileges gradual
ly in building through many genera
lions. 1t was not a war to break
down or to destroy. There is a diff
ference. Those who fought for
American independence did so in
the same spirit with which a brave
little nation today makes a super.
human stand in the defense of its
liberties and independence"
Mrs. Robert said that a keen ap.
probation of the demands made by
a republican form of government
upon it's citizens, dictated the sec.
ond object of the D. A. r.:
"To promote as an object of pr.
mary Importance institutions for the
general diffusion Of knowledge, thus
affording to young and old such ad.
vantages as shall create in them
the largest capacity for performing
the duties of American citizens"
Therefore, Mrs. Robert said, the
D. A. r. is dedicated to these truths:
THAT, to transform either a com.
munity or the world at large, it is
necessary first to transform the in.
dividual; that, the development of
the republic will rise no higher than
the judgment, intelligence and right
thinking of it's citizens; and that, a
