Aquinsf Tuberculosis

The old fashioned lamplighter de-
picted on the 1916 Christmas Seals
commerates the Yuletide of 1907
when the first American seals were
sold to aid volunteer and profession
al workers in the winning fight
against tuberculosis, according to
Miss Katherine Mcleod of the Hol-
mes County tuberculosis Associat-
ion, who said:
"In each sheet of 100 seals, SO
carry the Lamplighter design, while
four of them in the center of the
sheet are portraits of persons cred
tied with success of the first seal
campaign. They are Jacob Riis, a
writer who told of the birth of the
Christmas Seal idea in Denmark,
Miss Emily Bissell, designer of the
first seal in this country, and E. A.
Van Valkenburg and Leigh Mitchell
Hodges, newspaper men who used
the power of the press to sell the
public on the unusual idea of coup
ling the Good Will of Christmas
with the tragedy of tuberculosis.
THAT first sale of seals brought
$4,000. into the tuberculosis battle,
while the seth, lats year, amounted
to more than Is million. The 40 sale
this year is expected ito exceed 16
million"
'The year of the first seal, 174 of
every 100000 Americans died of
tuberculosis, while this year of the
40th seal, the rate will be less than
40 per 100000. But that death rate
of 40 means that more than $4,000
of our people are dying of prevent
able disease this year. That is why
2900 state and local tuberculosis
associations have joined with offic-
ial health agencies in waging a no.
quarter fight until the scourge of
TB is eradicated from the homes of
mankind"

for you to use rs percent manure
salts by just doubling the amount
in order for it to be equivalent 10

Our soils specialist at State Coll
ege seems to think that you would
get c little better results by using
the manure salts than you would by
using haif the amount of murlate OF

secure Euriate of potash, maybe
you can secure the, manure salts.
Contact your fertilizer dealer at
once. Supply your soils as much as
possible with the necessary fertlllz-
ing elements.
Form Equipment.
Farm equipment is scarce and
you will be lucky to be able to buy
new farm machinery IN time to
make a crop this spring. You have
farm equipment scattered from one
side of your fields TO the other. Keep
in mind this equipment should be
under the sheds. Use rainy days
that you can work under shed to
repair your farm equipment. You
will also find worn out parts or
broken parts on your combine,
turing plows, planters or other
farm machinery that you may have.
Check them all. Put your order In
with your equipment dealer at once
to secure these parts by the time 1t
is necessary for you to use this
and it may be that you will be able
equipment. If you wait until spring,
you are out of luck. Take look
over your place, gather up the turn
ing plow that you left at the end OF
the row or the planter you left
against the fence, or your combine
still in the field, bring them in and
do your repair jobs now.

Green Springs, Ohio
l1-4-46.

Dear Miss Brannon:
More power to you. Heaven help
you in your crusade against those
crooks who pose as law enforcement
officers and are protected by dis
honest courts.
There are many more of us in this
great U S. A., who like this Honor
able? Judge, admire Your Spunk."
There are so few Editors of today
who try to expose the vicious
Haunting Of our laws and the dis
honest Judges and officers that an
item of news such as was carried
in P. NJ, 1929, is outstanding,
especially so when it is Lady
crusader.
Davis Il won't call him judge GER
tainly indicts himself when he says,
$50 few of Us pure are left"
You should have given him an
uppercut to the jaw and a straight
right and left to each eye for giving
you such dirty slur.
We have many such drinking
gambling joints here in our cities
and even out through the country,
run in open violation of law and it
has become almost impossible to
elect officials except in very few
cases, who will make an attempt to
correct these evils.
Our sincere congratulations to you
and trust that you will receive your
vindication in your appeal to your
Supreme Court.
Respectfully,
G. A. WILLIAMS.

BAKING FAILURES"

Very often a baking failure Is
charged up to "bad luck" or q
faulty oven, when the cause really
lies with either the method or in
gradients used. Check your methods
and ingredients before you con-
denim your oven.
Below are some of the so-called
failures and way to correct them.
Cakes Rise Unevenly-
1. Range may need to be leveled.
2. Oven racks may need to be
leveled.
3. Warped baking pans may need
to be Strengthened or replac-
ed.
4. Batter should be spread more
evenly.
Foods Brown Unevenly on Top
l. Preheat oven for 10 minutes.
2. Always allow room between
pans to permit free circula-
tion.
3. Do not place pans directly
over each other.
Cookies Burn on Bottom
l. Use a shallow pan that al
lows heat to reach tops, or
use cookie sheets.
2. Cookie sheet too large. Re-
quires one inch space all
around.
Foods Burn in Back of Oven
or in Front of Oven
1. Range may need to be leveled.
2. Be sure that oven is properly
preheated.
Cakes or Pies Burn Around Edges
l. You may be using too high
oven temperatures.
2. Results differ when using
glass, aluminium and tin bak-
ing pans. Consult Home Serv-
ice as to best equipment to
use.
8. Oven may be too full, or pans
placed too close to oven sides.
a. Pie crust may be rolled too
thin.
Cake Forms Crust on Outside
l. When cake is not done inside,
oven is too hot.
2. Again, be sure that oven is
adequately preheated.
Cakes Don't Rise
l. Do not open oven door during
baking period.
Foods Brown Too Much on Bottom
l. You may need shallow pans.
2. Pans may be too large for
the amount of food being
