SAGE SAYiNGS The epicure catches the early bird. Jealousy is the fear of your own in feriority. Two wrongs make a right when one of them is a woman. A cat may look at a king, but a mian prefers to look at an ace. A girl never thinks much of a man until after he has made her mad. Women only make fools of them selves if they can’t of the man. At the age of eighteen woman’s rights are three years ahead of man's. It Is a wise citizen that knows whether a girl is smiling or laughing at him. f Don’t bet with your wife unless you are prepared to lose whether you win or not. fNew Shoes Old Shoes Tight Shoes all feel the same | if you shake into them some ALLEN’S FOOT=EASE The Antiseptic, Healing Powder so Easy to uoo lor the feet i Takes the friction from the shoe. ; freshens the feet and gives new vigor. ; At night when your feet are tired, sore and swollen from : walking or dancing, fs&f fj sprinkle ALLEN’S j FOOT-EASE in the VM* tyffl foot-bath and enjoy the bliss of feet with- ttjiudril&liral out an ache.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Government Maintains Paid Hunters. Strange as it may appear, the gov ernment employs hundreds of hunt ers. The biological survey hires be tween four hundred and five hundred hunters whose sole duty is to hunt and trap wild animals. In 1920 these pro fessional hunters “bagged” out 32,000 skins and scalps, divided among the various animal tribes as follows: Wolves, 584; coyotes, 27,100; moun tain lions, 149; bobcats, 4,123; Canada lynxes, 43. To the average citizen of this country, especially in the thor oughly domesticated East, these fig ures might not convey practicability, but to the farmers of the western ranges they mean a saving in live stock of about five million dollars. Those Funny Dyspeptics. “Dyspeptics are funny people,” said Dr. Ellery C. Chamberlain, the noted Ciiieago dietitian. “Dyspeptics,” lie went on, “are all alike. I heard a typical dyspeptic giving an order in a loop restaurant after the opera, the other night. The man is a millionaire and he said: “Oh. dear, dear, when I was young I could eat anything and pay for nothing, but now that I am able to pay for anything I can eat nothing. Bring me, waiter, a broiled lobster, a Welsh rarebit, a piece of cherry pie with roquefort cheese and a plate of banana ice cream to top off with.” ASPIRIN Name “Bayer” on Genuine WarningJ Unless you see the name “Bayer” on package or on tablets you are not getting genuine Aspirin pre scribed by physicians for twenty-one years and proved safe by millions.

CAREFULLY PREPARING POULTRY INSURES HIGHER MARKET PRICE ■ / *HT - —*»*-• - ******' * V "•..it. cK. W H|> , Jjr LiRmNSb wag' Ji 88 at ft ftf'Xy (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Not a day passes that inspectors employed by city, state or federal gov ernment, do not condemn food of one kind or another because it is unfit for human consumption. Sometimes tills is due to deliberate adulteration, an intention to defraud the purchasers, but more often it is the result of im proper packing, neglect to consider temperatures to be encountered in transporting from point of origin to destination, or failure to consider the time which must necessarily elapse before the product is likely to reach the consumers’ tables. All this entails not only great loss in money, likely to be reflected in prices demanded of the public, but also it endangers the public health, because occasionally some unworthy article slips through inspection and is served as food. Enough food products spoil every week to form a very Im portant part of the amount needed by the people; and practically ail of it might be saved through intelligence and care on the part of the producers and shippers. After your chickens are fattened and ready to kill, it will pay you to study the methods of killing, bleeding, pick ing, chilling and packing described fully in bureau of chemistry circu lars: 3, “How to Pick Chickens;” 52, “How to Wrap Heads”; 61, “How to Kill and Bleed Market Poultry.” Is sued by the Department of Agricul ture, these circulars may be had by application to the division of publica tions. The man who hopes to suc ceed should know everything possible about his proposed market, and its de mands. Broilers in Demand. « Ordinarily the demand is for broil ers of three sizes—squab broilers, small broilers and large broilere. Squab broilers weigh,- dressed, from three-quarters to one pound; small broilers, the size most in demand the greater part of the year, weigh from one to one and a quarter pounds each, and large broilers from one and one half to two pounds. Broilers may be sold alive or dressed, In the discretion of the ship per; but if dressed, this should be done according to the demands of the market, and these demands one can learn only by inquiry and study. Get ting the product ready for the buyer in the public market has much to do with the. price received. The appear ance of the article, the manner in which it is packed, and its condition — these are the points that make a rep utation for the shipper. Temperature to Maintain. The temperature of chickens when they are alive is 103 degrees Fahren heit. This must be reduced after kill ing to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less before they can be packed for long hauls in refrigerator cars. The time required to chill fowls usually is about KEEPING DOWN STABLE FLIES Give Stable ReTuse Proper Care and Stack Straw So That It Will Not Be Breeding Hole. The numbers of stable flies can be kept down by caring properly for stable refuse and by properly stacking or otherwise disposing of straw in a way that will not make it attractive as a b reedier place for the flies. Flies cause much distress among ani mals and at times heavy losses. Con trol measures are described In Farm ers’ Bulletin 1097. It can be had free of charge by writing Division of Pub' Meat ions, Washington, D. C. , BIG VALUE OF FOREST TREES Material Supplied for Use on Farm, Such as Poles and Wood —Pro- tect Live Stock. Fewest trees grown on the farm add to its value and beauty. They supply material for farm use, such as poles, posts and cordwood ; and they afford Preparing Poultry Under Modern Conditions for Markov. 24 tuning, and the packer must he sure that the body cavity, as well as the skin and flesh, are free from heat be fore the birds leave the chill room. Failure to observe this requirement is responsible for much of the ill-con ditioned poultry found in the public markets. The range of temperature permitted, too, is small. Below 30 de grees Fahrenheit the flesh is frosted; above 35 degrees Fahrenheit decay proceeds too rapidly to permit of long hauls to distant markets. Of course, the birds can be frozen after they are chilled, and so shipped, and this Is a very excellent plan, especially if the haul is across a hot country, say the specialists in the Department of Agri culture. Packing for Market. It is customary to pack broilers with the breasts up, and the feet hidden. The prevailing method at present, where refrigeration is available, is to pack the chickens in small boxes hold ing a dozen each, but small boxes suit able for one or two chickens have re cently been placed on the market. If tiie business is to be permanent the containers should carry the farm name, or the name of the shipper if the farm lias no name. An attractive advertisement on the box has a great deal to do with marketing, a fact proved long ago to the satisfaction of shrewd business men. Small packages are becoming more and more popular. Two layers of chickens in a box are being discarded for a single layer, it being realized that refrigeration is more perfect if the carcasses do not touch, and if pressure on sifch tender tissue as chicken muscle is eliminated as far as possible. On this account heads are wrapped in waxed paper and turned back where they do not rest against the soft flesh of the breast or thighs. No longer does the packer thrust old cocks, broiling chickens and fowls indiscriminately into a big su gar barrel, pressing them down In his effort to pack tightly, and so bruising the flesh and tearing the skin. CONCRETE FLOORS ARE BEST Promote and Protect Health of All Farm Animals and Increase Prof its for Farmer. A concrete barnyard makes a fine exercise lot in all kinds of weather and always affords a dry spot for the animals’ bed. Every shower washes the surface clean and flushes the droppings into the manure pits. Con crete yards lighten the work of the housewife, as there is no mud to be tracked on the walks and kitchen floor. The use of rubber boots is un necessary. On concrete floors not a particle of grain need be wasted. The way to the water trough Is always dry, smooth and passable. Concrete floors promote ami protect the health of farm animals and increase the profits of farming, stock raising and dairying. shelter for live stock, and protect crops and buildings from the hot winds of summer and the cold winds of winter. Moreover, they often can be grown successfully on soils too poor or on slopes too steep for the success ful production of the ordinary agricul tural crops. INCREASED NITROGEN SUPPLY Element May Be Added by Proper Soil Treatment, Rotation of Crops and Phosphate. The supply of nitrogen, the most costly element of food for plants, can be increased through proper soil treatment, rotation of crops, the ad dition of phosphate and limestone and the growing and plowing under of legumes. All stable manure is to be utilized, and on the older, worn soils of the East and'South some commer cial nitrogen may be profitably used. Following a crop that is a heavy nitro gen consumer with one that is a light user is good farm practice. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL. SimdaySchool » Lesson T (By REV. P. B. EITZWATER, D. D..

The Controversy in the Church at Antioch (vv. 1-5). This difficulty was a most serious one, for it threatened the disruption of tlit> church into .Jewish and Gentile divisions. The question was, “Shall Gentile con verts he required to keep the Mosaic law as a condition of salvation?” Tills issue was brought on by the coming of certain men from Jerusalem who declared, “Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved" (v. 1). The question was so difficult that Paul and Barnabas were unable to put them to silence. These .Jewish legalists had the letter of the Scriptures on their side; they could point to the commandments where this was enjoined upon believers (Gen. 17:14). Paul could not point to any Scripture where it had been abro gated. If Paul could plead that Abra ham was justified before lie was cir cumcised, his antagonist could say, “Yes, but after justification the rite was divinely imposed.” The brethren at Antioch decided to refer the matter to the mother church at Jerusalem. Ac cordingly Paul and Barnabas and others were sent as a deputation to Jerusalem. 11. The Deliberations of the Council (vv. 6-21). J. Peter’s Speech (vv. 7-11). lie argued that God had borne witness to His acceptance of the Gentiles by giv ing the Holy Spirit to them the same as unto the Jews. Since, therefore, God had not put a difference It would be folly for them to do so. God’s action In sending Peter unto them was the unanswerable proof that there was no distinction to he made. 2. Paul and Barnabas reiiegr.se their experience (v. 12). They told how that God had set His seal of approval upon their preaching of salvation by grace through faith apart from works, by the working of signs and wonders through them. 5. The argument of James (vv. 14- 21). He took the fact declared by Peter and showed how it harmonized with the prophecy of Amos. He showed that the reception of the Gen tiles was not in conflict with God’s plan, hut in strict harmony there with. God’s plan for the ages is as follows: (1) Taking out from among the Gentiles a people for His name (v. 14). This is What Is now going on —the calling out of the church. (2) After the church is completed and re moved the Israelitish nation will he converted and restored to their land and privileges by the Lord himself at His return (vv. 16, 17). (3) Follow ing this will he the conversion of the world througii the agency of con verted Israel (v. 17; of Horn. 11: 15). His Judgment was that the Gen tiles should not be troubled with things that are Jewish, but should be warned against the perils of heathen ism, such as meat offered to idols, fornication, and blood. 111. The Decision (vv. 22-29). Tiie mother church at Jerusalem came to a unanimous agreement and accepted the resolution offered by James. They not only sent a letter stating the decision of the conference, hut took the wise precaution to send influential men along with Paul and Barnabas to hear the same testimony by word of mouth. This letter de nied tiie authority of the .Judaizing teachers (v. 24), and declared the method by which this decision had been reached (vv. 25-27). IV. The Second Missionary Journey Begun (15:36; 16:5): 1. Contention over John Mark (vv. 36-41). Paul was suspicious of Mark because of his desertion on the former journey. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus. Paul chose Silas and went through Syria and Cilicia con firming the churches. The Lord thus overruled it to good, for it gave an opportunity for wider dissemination of the gospel. 2. Finding Timothy (16:1-5). This was at the very place where Paul on his first journey had endured cruel stoning. Timothy was with Paul through much of his work ever after ward. a great blessing to him.
