“BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER”
Without good red blood a man lias a weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness of
the blood, or anaemia, is common in young folks as well as old. Especially is it
the case with those who work in illy ventilated factories—or those who are shut
up indoors in winter time with a coal stove burning up the oxygen or emitting
carbonic (oxide) gas. This blood, or blood which lacks the red blood corpuscles,
in anaemic people may have been caused by lack of good fresh air breathed into
lungs, or by poor digestion or dyspepsia. Sometimes people suffer intense
pain over the heart which is not heart.disease at all, but caused by indigestion.
Whatever the cause, there’s just one remedy that you can turn to—knowing
that it has given satisfaction for over 40 years.

Busy Bee throws down the gauntlet
to the amateur gardeners and, in a way,
to the chicken raisers. Both subjects
Interest me. From my childhood chick
ens have been a hobby of mine, al
though my many years in the heart of
a city have kept me in touch with them
only through the poultry journals and
poultry shows. Last year my sister's
beautiful Buff Orpingtons kindled anew
the enthusiasm and this year I am in
the middle of t;en acres and am rais
ing chickens and a garden, too.
The cabbage plants were set out two
or three weeks ago. I did that part
myself, and can testify to the fact that
•20.0 holes dug, plants dropped and firm
ly placed is no small job for a woman
who has been at a desk for years. The
Lady of Elegant leisure met me last
week and exclaimed over my tan and
the change in my hands.
This^week I have planted beets, rad
ishes, onions and turnips; some time ago
I planted asparagus and early peas. To
morrow, if nothing prevents, I am going
to cut potatoes, and I am going to plant
them on the decrease of the moon. One
of my farmer friends says that I am
courting disaster. We shall see later on.
There Is one oats patch ready for the
little chickens, another has been planted
and a nice patch of rape also. I am go
ing by what Mr. Loring Brown says,
and hope to have all of my little chick
ens out of the way before w>rm weath
er comes. I only moved here the day
before Thanksgiving and bought my
first lot of chickens at least ten days
later. They are Black Langshans, and
more satisfactory chickens I never saw.
I bought them because a neighbor had
them to sell, and as soon as I saw them
I was glad I had the chance. Five hens
gave me ninety eggs in January. Then
I had another neighbor who had to get
rid of eleven Barred Rock pullets and a
beautiful cockerel. I again fell a
1. though I know two women who"
say that Barred Rocks and the tempers
they have aroused may prove a stum
bling block on their upward paths.
Those last have not laid as well as the
Langshans, but “hope springs eternal”
in my heart and every time I get six or
seven eggs from their side of the fence
I beg their pardon and plan all sorts of
things.
With sixteen hens I couldn’t afford to
let any sit, so when still another friend
called me up the last week in Decem
ber and offered to sell me some day-
old Rhode Island Reds I again suc
cumbed. There were twenty-six of them
and now I ,have eighteen as nice chick
ens as you ever saw, and when they
were four weeks old I dived in again
and have thirty-five that are three
weeks old. ' The phone Just rang, and
when I answered it I learned that fifty
Black Langshan eggs I put in the same
friend's incubator are hatching nicely,
and, you may think of me next week in
all the agony of those first days' with in
cubator chickens.
Where one has all the equipment for
raising Incubator chickens, and has had
the incubator just right all the time,
I don’t see why they cannot raise them
most successfully. But this year I
have not spent a dollar on brooders and
hovers. I have kept them in a box in
the kitchen until they were four weeks
old. Then outdoors in a four-foot
square box with a sloping top covered
with waterproof paper, and a lamp un
der it. . .•
Rainy days both lots have had to be
in the kitchen and the three weeks’ old
youngsters are there yet when night
comes.
Mrs. Alexander, nor any mother with
just small children, can assume the care
of a lot of little chickens in January
or February, for they require too much
attention. True I leave mine five hours
twice a wek, but once I come home
and found five chilled—the fire is not
warranted to burn when the wind is
from a certain quarter. The first week
mine were i£d on grits, oatmeal and
brhn. Then I added chick feed and a
mixed feed.
The chick feed is composed of small
grain and I purchased it, and that is
their morning feed in grft and earth,
so that they must scratch for it. I
give them warm^water with roup cure
the damp days and at least once a week
I put a tincture of assafoedita in their
drinking water. They do not like it,
but I have known assafoedita to effect
some wonderful cures among sick chick
ens, and thus far mine are splendidly
grown.
Do you remember in *Webster’s old
blue-back speller the story of t^he miJLk-
mald who counted her chickens too
soon? Well I know a lady who had ten
beautiful White Orpingtons “out of dan
ger,” as she thought. A dog bit one, lim-
berneck struck one, a ’possum reached
another and I am not sure that she
actually raised any, so I won’t count on
any of^ these until they are in the pot
or ready to assume the duties of full-
fledged hens.
I know I am not orthodox in having
three varieties of chickens, I have en
tered with a mind unbiased and am
keeping a record and shall see at the
end of the year how these three turn
out. I found plenty o£ .houses and
runs already on the'place, and thought
it a ptiy not to use them. Some tirink
25 cents each a lot of money to pay
for day-olds* but to me it seems cheap
er than to pay even_ $3 for eggs and
prqbably lose hah of ' ''^ham, ’ beside
.one's time in To^5rfls~^Tter the incuba
tor. I am too busy for all that. Where
one can be at home all day and has
the time there must be more profit in
hatchnig the eggs at home.
I believe I’ve told you about every
thing except the calf. No, I have no
cow, but an old darky asked permis
sion to put his calf in my stable. It
was doing nobody any good, so I con
sented. Naturally the calf was neg
lected and, of course, I could not pass
it on my way to feed the hens and
not feed It. So I bought the creature.
Frank was out here Sunday and I be
lieve he decided it is large enough to
begin to be broken. Some week-end the
boys will male© a yoke and break It, or
be broken one. %
I have a pig sty, a dog kennel and a
place for pigeons, but sq far I have
been too absorbed, in the chickens and
garden to get them inhabited. An
hoyest watch dog wouldn’t come amiss,
but please excuse me from a bull dog
or any that must be chained. A cou
sin suggested a toy poodle, but that’s
the other extreme. I’ve set my hopes
on a Boston bull, but haven’t found
one yet.
Now comes the most wonderful of
all. There is not a cat on the place.
I have made freinds with a beautiful
white cat that bometimes favors us
with his presence, but not one was
here when we came, nor did I have one
to bring with me.
See what a long Chat, all on account
of Busy Bee’s challenge. I neglected

There Is much concern on the part
of the dock workers in the east end
of London, for man’s work there, as
well as in the factories, is being sup
planted by the cheaper labor of women.
Women are employed even as steve
dores, and unload the barges carrying,
light freight, bottles, sacks, etc., and
get paid half what a man is paid fdr
the s/ne labor. As they do quite as
much work for their eight or ten shill
ings as the man did for his twenty, the
firm is really getting twice the work
for the money.
A laborer on the docks, George
Whale, a chain-healer who has recently
become an advocate of Woman suffrage
because they are workin’ “more direct!
than the Socialist,” told of the condi
tions on the Thames wharves out of
his own experience.
“Yes,” he said, “they’re tikin’ the fe
males on in plice of the men. Givin’
’em arf or less than ’arf wot the men
got, and they was gettin’ starvition
wiges. They sye the wimmen oughten
to tike it. Bht the wimmen ain’t to
blime. They got to find woi*k. It’s the
surplus of the females, that’s wot It is,
as mikes ’em ’ave to tike wot the
employer offers ’em. It ain’t right, by
Gawd. It’s the work as aughter be
paid for, mikin’ no difference ”oo does
it.
“This ’ere system is ’ard on the men,
but its ’arder on the wimmen. Many a
married woman is workin’ when ’er 'us-
band can’t get a job, ’cause wimmen’s
work is cheap. And ’oo gets the bene
fit? The man ownin’ the factory—’ee’s
the one. I'm for givin’ the wimmen
the vote on the sime therms as wot the
men’s got it, seein’ las ’ow they’re corn
in’ along on the labor ’ question.
“Conditions 'ere is ’ell for the work-
in’ man, but it’s worse Veil for the
females. Tike this ’ere girl me an’ my
wife took in. She an’ 'er mother workin’
day an’ night mikin' boys’ shirts at six
pence a dozen, just kept goin’, that’s
v
aH. Then the old woman up an’ died
an’ the girl worked on the docks unload
in’ sacks, getting 8 bob ($2) a week.
Couldn't live on thst an' be decent, could
she? It wuz the work’ouse or the streets
for ’er if I ’adn’t brought er ’ome. Its'
’orrible, that's wot it is.
“They calls this a civilized country.
.Civilized, is it? When ’arf the world
cawn’t earn their bread and live de-
cint? It’s the slipe- all over England.
My father was a laborer in Winches
ter—fine old -town that.. But two
months of the year, no labor. And;
there wuz nothin' for ’1m and us two
kids but the work’ouse. Mother styed
out doin’ charrin.’ But we spent ourl
’vikayshuns’ in the uni*n. I knows all
about it, I do. My father was a ’ard
workin’ man, hut ’ee couldn't keep a
family on twenty bob a week an' ’ave
anything put by.
’’An’ ’oo gets the money as we sweats
for? Tike it in the factory, where my
son worked. Twenty-nine hob he got,
hut they turned ’im out an’ the rest
of the men and took on females. Two
for one man’s job an’ gave ’em less
than ’arf the man’s wige. An’ they
turned out twice the work or 'arf as
much again while they wus learnin’.
They Wus givin’, them females wus
givin', that employer thirty-four bob a
week. Wusn’t they? And tikin’ it out
of theirselves. Wot’s goin’ to stop such
doin’s? ■
“The law can stop It, if it wants to.
Givin’ the wimmen votes, some sye, is
the first step. 'Go’s showed up condi
tions in these ’ere plices? ’Oo's show-
in’ the factory females about this 'ere
business? It’s the wimmen wot’s
workin’ to! get the vote as is doin’ it.
Let ’em smash the windows and burn
up letters. I stands up for wotever noise
they mikes. Somebody’s got ter mike
a racket , in this ’efe bloomin’ world if
things is to be mide better. I wish the
rest of the chaps could see it as I sees
it, an’ give the wimmen a ’elpin’ ’and.

VERA RENEWS HER ALLEGIANCE.
Deaf* Miss Thomas: With the begin
ning of the new year, 1913, it is my de
sire to renew my allegiance to Our
Household, and I trust that in the year
that is to come I may prove a more
faithful member than I have been dur
ing the year that ha3 just closed.
As I look back into the year that is
past, I* am able to count many blessings
as well as many trials and disappoint
ments, and, in the summing up I find
that the blessings, though often ob
scured for a time, outweigh all else.
Now, as I look forward to the coming
year it is my chief .desire to prove a
blessing to others.
As of old I y 4n say, “What queer
creatures these Householders be,” for*
while none of' us are willing to give
up our department, we have allowed it
to languish and almost die for lack of
an occasional letter from each member.
Yet, when we once begin the task it
requires but a few moments of our “val
uable time.” Now that Rowgan has
gain made his appearance among us he
may succeed in arousing some of our
sleeping members.
Wishing all a happy and prosperous
year, I am, Sincerely,

this i^ hardly decessary.
I am the mother o.f three little boys, and I
find it a hard job to keep them out of mis
chief. I am generally busy with my house
work and I make hair switches, which take
up. much of my time, so I hate to invent some
means for the children to be amused and not
bother me. with my work. T
T believe in a woman doing her part toward
helping to keep the home going. I make all
my pin money doing the hair work and never
neglect my other work either. This, to my
mind, is much better than to have to call on
one’s husband for every thing one wants.

One of the strongest evidences of the
inspiration of the scripture is the fact
that it tells the whole truth about its
heroes. A human biography of Abram
would have left out his failures and
emphasized his virtues. One of the mar
velous things about this man Abram’s
life was yet one of his ^most human ex
periences. It surely would seem that
if he had had faith enough in God to
trust Him to provide for him and his
family and flocks throughout the peril

at least have had faith enough to be

the famine days in Palestine. But just
here Abram’s faith failed, and rather
than trust God to provide for him, he
used what seems to be human wisdom
and went down into Egypt, where there
was plenty. This journey was not done

THE TRAMP
(A true story, p
‘As I was saying, girls,” said Mrs. Harding,
resuming a conversation interrupted by the ar
rival of a neighbor and her baby from across
the street, “tramps are worthless, and why
should I encourage them In their laziness by
giving them help?”
“We were just discussing the point, Mrs.
Gillian,” she continued turning to the neigh
bor, “as to whether It’s our duty to give money
or food to tramps. I was telling the girls—
my nieces from Indiana, you know—that I most
certainly do not believe in helping men who
come begging. Let them go to work. They are
too trifling to do that, they prefer to go
tramping around the country.”
“But,” ventured timid little Mrs. Gillian,
“suppose they are too old to do much work.”
‘Or suppose. Aunt Kate,” said Mary Law-
ton, “Its a man who, released from prison, Is
making his way to a distant place to begin a
better life.”
“I don’t want any ex-convicts coming around
here,” said Mrs. Harding.
“I am not defending tramps generally speak
ing,” said Annie Lawton, “but I think we
should be governed by circumstances to a great
extent. An old man, or one who seems to be
sick or afflicted, we can tell usually.”
“I give all of them something to eat when
they ask for it,” said Mrs. Gillian. “As I
tell Tom, my husband, I’d rather be imposed
on by a dozen of them with their pitiful tales
than to refuse one that is really deserving,
and Tom always says, ‘Suit yourself. Mamie.’ ”
“But I contend,” said Mrs. Harding, “that
instead of giving to worthless tramps we would
much better give our money to foreign missions
—think of the poor heathen.”
“Oh! It’s our duty to give liberally to mis
sions,” said Annie, “but mother used to* tell
us to do the duty that lies nearest, and I think
that we should help tramps some times.”
Just then some one opened the front gate
and came slowly up the walk.
Darkness had gathered. The occupants of
the veranda could discern a man coming toward
them, but couldn’t see his face clearly. Stand
ing hat in hand at the steps, he said, “Will
the lady of the house kindly give me some
thing to eat? I am very hungry.”
“I haven’t anything for you,” answered Mrs.
Harding. “I would advise you to go to work,
nnd you will have no need to beg.”
The man turned away without a word. Some
thing in his walk as he went back to the street
caused the thought to flash over Mrs. Harding
that he was an old man. But she didn’t recall
him. She had made an ironclad rule never
to help a tramp, and she had no idea of break
ing It.
'•He walks like an old man,** said Annie;
“Aunt Kate, surely you could”
“Little Mrs. Gillian half rose from her seat,
thinking to call the man to tier house aud give
him food—but Mrs. Harding had refused him,
and it would seem too pointed—and maybe
some one else would help him.
He was indeed an old man—old and heart
broken. Misfortune and poverty had fastened
their clutches on him.
His wife, a helpless invalid for years, had
been lovingly waited on by him, and every
spare moment he had worked hard. When
she died, they took his little house and a few
acres of land for debt—leaving him penniless,
the poorhouse seemingly his only refuge. Any
thing but that, he thought. So he started on
foot to try to reach a relative living in another
state. But the way was, long. His heart grew
faint within him. Weary and footsore he
came at the close of day to the thriving little
town of Elmsworth. Hs asked for food at sev
eral places, and when Mrs. Harding also refused
him, he was too proud to. ask again. Making
his way to the outskirts of the town, he found
an old tumbled down house, and tottering in,
laid himself on the floor for the night. The
summer breeze fanned his brow. Through a
hole In the roof the stars shone down upon
him. He heard the katydids in the locust trees
near, and the sound carried him back to his
early married life in the neat little cottage by
the roadside. A strange feeling of peace and
happiness seemed stealing over him.
Was it a dream? He saw his wife no longer
afflicted but beautiful and young. Across the
floor she led a fair-haired laughing boy. His
steps were uncertain. It was his first walk
ing lesson. Then he saw with bis fading eyes
up in the roof where the stars had shone, an
angel form. Se smiled and beckoned to him.
All pain and weariness fled. He held out his
arms. ,
The next morning some boys playing in the
old mill found him—lying there. It was not a
dream, but merciful death.

RAINY DAY AMUSEMENTS
Dear Miss Thomas: Will yott let me say a
few words on rainy day amusements for the
little folks?
All you mothers know how hard it is to keep
them indoors on rainy days. Their little hands
and minds must be employed m some way, so
save all your magazines, catalogues, etc., and
when a rainy day comes give them to the
children, together with a small cheap pair of
scissors. Let the smaller ones cut out the
pictures, even if they do spoil them they will
soon learn to be careful and are being enter
tained, then the larger ones can cut out pieces
of poetry or Jokes that may appeal to their
mind. They will work for hours at It. Have
them save the cut-outs and another day give
them two or three old books and some paste
and let them pute in the pieces. The hooks
Just how long they stayed in Egypt
we do not know, but in spite of their
sins, God. gave him prosperity so that
he became very rich in cattle, and in
silver and in’ gold. When Pharaoh found
out the deceit of Abram he ordered
him out of his country. It was very
humiliating to Abram to be rebuked by
this heathen king who had no fear of
God. It brought him to a sense of his
own sin; he was convicted of it, and
deeply repentant. His repentance took
the form which every one’s must if it’s
to be effective. He got right up and
went back to the land of Canaan, not
stopping until he had reached the altar
that he had built when he first came
into that country. We must begin over
again at the beginning. At the place
where we left God we will find Him, and
we cannot walk with Him until we
come back to the place where we left
Him and join Him again. »
Get a picture in your mind of that
scene. Surrounded by his servants,
flocks, herds, his nephew and his wife,
he kneels before the altar which he
built at the beginning, and calls upon
the name of Jehovah, asking forgiveness
for his lack of faith, for his deceit, for
his disobedience, and consecrating him
self anew to God to do His will. Arising
from there, he starts over again his walk
with God in faith and by obedience.
MAGNANIMITY AND GREED.
God had made Abram very rich, and
because of his association with Abram,
Lot had grown rich. Their flocks and
their herds had increased so largely
that they were beginning to find it dif
ficult to find pasturage enough for them
on those hillsides. Prosperity fre
quently brings strife, unfortunately, and
so it did in this instance. Lot didn’t
quarrel with Abram—you can’t quarrel
with a man like Abram. Their herds
men were beginning to quarrel with
each other. . No sooner did Abram
discover it than he called Lot aside, and
said to him that it looked like it was
best for them to separate. They couldn’t
afford to fuss, they were brethren, and
before conditions got any more serious
it was wisest for them to go in differ
ent directions. The Canaanites and the
Perizzites were very vicious and war
like people. r .bram and Lot were in
their country/ and all they wanted was
a difference of opinion between these
men to wipe them out of existence. It
was not only right to keep peace, but
expedient as well.
Abram had a perfect right to send
Lot away and take all there was to be
had. God had called him into this coun
try, and promised to give it to him. Lot
had no right to an inch of the soil, and
was only prospering through his asso
ciation with Abram. But Abram showed
his magnanimity by offering Lot first
choice.
The customs of the east, as well as
common decency and politeness, demand
ed that Lot yield to the older man the
right of first choice; but Lot was of

ing, selfish. He had no thought for
others so long as he got what he want
ed. I Can see him now as he stood on
that hilltop looking northward, and
westward, and southward, and weigh
ing carefully the present yield and fu
ture prospects of these sections. Then-
he turned eastward towards the plain
of the Jordan, and saw that it was
well watered and fertile, that it ^looked
like the garden of the Lord. The sight
was too much for his selfish heart;
he chose that section; and taking up his
tents marched off, followed by his re
tinue.
He didn’t go all the way to Sodom at
first. He just pitched his tent to
wards Sodom; and pretty soon he got
nearer, until finally we find him in the
city itself, mangling with its wicked

again, and the Jew is brought as a na

Abram’s magnanimity was a paying
proposition. When God left speaking
with him, he removed his tent, came
and dwelt in Hebron and, according to
his custom, built there an altar to the
Lord, upon which he offered sacrifices
of thanksgiving and consecration.
Paul wrote afterwards these signifi
cant words, “Godliness is profitable for
the life which is, as well as for that
which is to come.”

Before it was gone the bloating left me
and I was not so sore. I continued tak

Now I am stronger than I have been for

which was based on selfishness, was
most disastrous in its results. Shortly
afterward, in the battle of the four I
kings against the five, he lost all that !
he had, and would have lost his own j
life had it not been for Abram. Some
years later, when God for Abram’s
sake spared him, and gave him an op
portunity to save himself with his chil
dren and his wife, he had lost his in
fluence with them. He lost all his prop
erty that he had afterwards accumula
ted, and every member of his family b , ,
but his two unmarried daughters. And j Miss Duncan, of Oklahoma,
it would have been better if he had lost
them. Their subsequent life showed
the influence of their residence in
Sodom.
ABRAM AND GOD.
I want you to get another picture in
your mind now, a picture of a lonely
old man. When Lot left, there stood
Abram looking after him as he marched
away with his retinue, and I am sure
that there were feelings of great lone
liness as this man without ^children
realized that the boy he .had raised was
leaving him and in such a spirit.
But Abram wasn’t lonely long. That
was God’s opportunity. Now that sel
fish Lot had separated himself from
Abram, God could come and talk to him,
and this was what he said: “Lift up
now thine eyes.” Notice carefully those
words in the 14th verse, “after” and
“now.” It is possible that God cannot
commune with you now because of
pome association with Lot that you
may have, but when Lot leaves you,
God will commune with you/ N He bade
him look in every direction, even in the
direction towards which Lot had gone,
and gave him all the land that he could
see as a possession for himself and his
seed after him forever. He got the
portion which Lot thought he was
getting as well as all the rest.
The point where Abram stood was the
highest point in all that region and
commanded a wide range of vision.
Abram himself never owned a foot of

the land even though it was his. He
At no time in the subsequent history
of Israel, even in the prosperous
reigns of David and Solomon, did the
Jew as a nation ever own all of that
land. Today and for many years that
country has been out of the possession
<5f the Jews. Did God fail to keep His
promise? Not a bit of it. The time
has not come for the full realization of
it, but is surely coming when God’s
promise shall be literally fulfilled. It

poor suffering woman.
For 17 years I? had been afflicted with
.womtyily troubles, and had tried differ
ent treatments, but non© of them helped 1
me any. I suffered so much I could
hardly bear it. i
I had such drawing-down pains, and al
pain in my side. Also headache and
those awful dizzy spells. I was veryj
weak, and could not be up, at times. I
decided to try Cardui, the woman’s ton-i
ic, and I will say I am not sorry that’
I did, for it helped me wonderfully. I 1 ,
feel like an entirely person. I can*
wash all day now, and attend to my (
other household duties, and not feel'
tired when night comes.
I intend to keep Cardui in the house’
just as long as I live, for it has done me I
so much good.”.
Cardui is the ideal tonic remedy for
women. Its ingredients are especially
adapted for women’s needs. It soothes'
pain, helps weakness, nervousness, drag
ging sensations, headache, backache, andj
other symptoms of womanly trouble.
Cardui is purely vegetable, and has]
no bad after-effects. Is good for young
and old.
Try Cardui. \
