II. Charge them that are rich If

minded, nor trust in uncertain rich
es, but in the living God, who give
III us richly all things to enjoy. A
bible citation from the lesson-ser-
mon: Titus 8: 3, 4. For we our
selves also were sometimes foolish,
disobedient, deceived, serving div
ers lusts and pleasures, living in
malice and envy, hateful and hat
ing one another. 4. But after that
the kindness and love Of God our
Saviour toward man appeared.
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: Resist evil-error of every
sort and it will flee from you.
Let the slave of wrong desire learn
the lessons of Christian Science,
and he will get the better of that
desire, and ascend a degree in the
scale of health, happiness, and ex-
istence.

MILK TESTS
EVERY MONTH
Milk From 1900 Cows is Being
Tested Every Month by
Three Milk Testers
SAMPLES OF MILK TAKEN

Dairy farmers spend more than
million dollars annually to get ac-
curate records on their cows thru
the country's $1,000 dairy herd I'M
provement associations.
Today in Delaware, the milk
from more than 1900 cows is being
tested each month by three asso-
citation milk testers. There are a
total Of ga herds in the three Della
ware herd improvement associa-
tions.
Dairymen having herds in the as
sociations pay the expenses Of the
monthly testing, according to the
number of cows in their herds. The
milk tester visits each farm herd
once a month. He weighs milk
from individual cows and takes
samples of night and morning milk.
From these samples, the tester
finds the butterfat content Of the
milk from each COW. His records
are kept in a book which is the
property Of the farmer.
The Delaware dairy herd i'm
provement associations are spon-
sored comparatively by the farmer
members of the associations, by the
agricultural agents office in each
county and by the Bureau Of An
imal Industry of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Work of the
county agricultural agents, the
specialists of the Extension Service
and the u. S. Department of Ag-
riculture dairy councillors is di-
rected toward assisting farmers
with use of the facts revealed in
dairy herd improvement association
records.
K. w. Baker. farm management
specialist for the Delaware A,gri-
cultural Extension Service, says
that besides the individual cows
milk and butterfat production, the
records of the dairy herd improve

lust about this time during the
j heating season, the fire APP
pears to be sluggish with re-
sultant poor heat in the living
quarters. AS a rule, the coal is
blamed for this condition. Yet it
may be the same coal that gave
good heat in the earlier part of
the heating season. The fire has
been going for quite some time
now. Every time the CRATES were
shaken quite an amount of fly
ash was carried upward through
the fuel bed by the draft action.
Large amounts of this fly ash
may have been trapped in the
fuel bed itself. This condition is
known as a "dirty fire" and re-
suits in sluggish fuel bed condi-
tons.
Burn that fire out and slowly
build it up again with fresh coal.
You'll be surprised at the i'm
proved results.
Then too, there may be quite
an accumulation of dirt in the
fiue passes. Take the little hoe
that came with the heater and
scrape that accumulation away.
Better still, contact your local
fuel merchant and have him
vacuum the furnace.
Tap the smokepipe that leads
into the chimney. If it sounds
solid, there may be an accumula-
ton of fly ash in it. AS a last
resort-and many troubles are
found here-pull the smokepipe
away from the chimney. Right
at this point the accumulation Of
fly ash may have nearly filled
the end of the pipe.
And don't forget the ashpit.
It serves two very definite pur-
poses:
/. It is a space provided under
the CRATES to receive the
ashes.
2. It receives the air from the
cellar and helps to distribute
it uniformly to all parts OF
the fuel bed.

1t can be readiiy seen, there
fore, that if the ashpit is al
lowed to fill up and the accumu-
lated ash remain there for any
length of time, that the purpose
of the ashpit as a distributor of
air is defeated. This results in
the fire burning poorly and I'M
evenly. Many times the CRATES be-
come overheated, become warped
or even break. So keep the ash
pit clean at all times.
Don't "strangle" the fire. Many
cellars are too well sealed'in the
winter time. Provide some means
to permit fresh air to enter SO
the fire can breathe"
And last but not least, do not
forget the hampers. Many poor
heat complaints are registered
because of a lack of the turn
damper. Many times, even if
turn damper is installed it is
opened too wide causing the
same type of complaint. If one
or both of the conditions above
exist, make sure you have means
for controlling the draft that
flows through the heater. II too
much air passes through the fuel
bed, an excess air condition ex-
lists. The heat, instead of being
used to give one a comfortable
temperature upstairs is used in
stead to heat this extra cold air.
This is wasted up the chimney.
Make sure the turn damper is
used correctly. 1t is the "throt-
tie" of the heating plant. If one
wishes to burn coal faster, open
this damper slightly. If there is
no necessity, because of weather
conditions, to burn the coal as
fast, close down on the position
of this damper. Correct opera
ton of this throttle will give
more useful heat upstairs.
You will find by observing these
simple rules that your furnace
will do a much better sjch di-
rectly resulting in more conf
Portable heat. (15)

1850 feet of clear highway ahead
is needed. Should the oncoming
vehicle be travelling faster than 40
miles per hour this distance be-
comes even greater. Naturally the
accelerating ability of trucfls is
less than that of passenger cars,
and the passing distance cores
pondingly larger. Also, before you
pass another car on the road, make
sure that another car is not trying
to pass you. This is a frequent
cause of accidents, which could be
avoided if more drivers glanced
now and then in the rear view mir
ror. So remembrance the glass
before you pass!

WR Sc described our individual
food parcel program. We have re-
ceived many requests from various
nationality groups who wish to
provide relief to prisoners OF war
of particular nationalities and this
letter outlines what we are prepar-
ed to do on their behalf In all
cases we have advised them to
make arrangements through local
Red Cross Chapters. We are pre-
pared to accept from these nation
atty groups, for the relief OF un-
identified prisoners of war of desig-
mated nationalities, the following
contributions:
~ Funds for the purchase of
American Red Cross standard food
packages to be deliveded on their
behalf to the neediest prisoners of
particular nationality;
ID Funds for the purchase of
collective shipments of needed
comfort supplies such as soap,
shoes, underwear, or shirts to be
delivered on their behalf to the
neediest prisoners of particular
nationality:
90 Articles of new clothing suit
able for prisoners of war collective
shipments, such as sweaters, socks
or mufflers which can be made by
members of such groups. Since
government purchased materials
cannot in any case be given to ma

production, they should be prepar-
ed to supply their own materials
for any production of articles fol

We are unable to accept indiv-
idual packages for prisoners pre-
pared by interested individuals o.
groups.
No arrangements for individual
clothing parcels for prisoners have
been made. Upo- request or the

The present national emergency

would be grateful for the oppor-

The immediate reaction is this:

l ia when we already have unem-
g0yment in the cities and the
l problem Of maintaining farm

Eer to this is that Europeans in

1 tm operators who care little for
more than subsistence. The fact
bat they have large families is

BE way of making America
Younger by lowering the average

4 i should be remembered that
depressionS are longer and more
severe in countries where the av-
