FIND GOODNESS IN PLEASURE
People Are Beginning to Understand
That It Is a Mistake to Work
Too Hard.
For a good many years we fcad a
creed that the only way to <^eep men
or women good was to work them to
death. We didn’t consider ourselves
virtuous unless we ended each day so
toil-wearied that we had no ambition
for anything but bed. When we had
a holiday we didn't know how to use
it, and either slept it away or did
something that landed us in jail.
The doctors are telling us now that
there is a fatigue poison; that we owe
it to ourselves not to overwork. The
great labor unions are demanding
shorter hours and graded work, so that
men and women workers shall not be
overtaxed, and so that the few may
not be overworked and underpaid at
the expense of the many.
We are learning very, very gradu
ally, that man was not created to labor
18 hours out of the 24 in order that
he may have the privilege of eating
and sleeping. Very, very gradually
we are being taught that we are part
ners in God’s pasture, and that, rich
or poor, we have the right to take our
share of sunshine and fresh air and an
idle time to enjoy them.
A fair measure of leisure in each
day is necessary to cultivate sweet
ness and saneness of soul, and the
man or woman, boy or girl, so over
worked that there is no opportunity
for recreation, never reaches the high
er planes of being. Indeed, too much
work has often been as much a breed
er of crime as too much idleness.
Sometimes it is a desperate effort
to escape from the grind. More often
it is an Intelligent craving for excite
ment— ‘something different.”
1 believe it is in one of Aesop’s
fables where we are told of the man
■who was'ao busy grubbing In the muck
heap that he never had time to look
up and see the crown above his head.

URGE KINDNESS TO ANIMALS
Many Reasons Have Been Advanced
as to Why Cruelty Should
Be Avoided.
Here are some of the reasons why
we should do all we possibly can to
protect animals, says an exchange,
1. They are. humanly speaking,
dumb and defenseless.
2. They are especially liable to
cruel treatment.
3. They are the victims of science,
sport, fashion, ignorance and preju
dice.
4. There is so much suffering in
this world that we ought to do every
thing we can to lessen, and not to in
crease it.
5. It is cowardly and contemptible
to cause a living, sentient creature un
necessary or avoidable suffering.
6. The animals do so much for us
in so many ways, ministering to our
needs, that they earn exemption for
their various races from cruelty, suf
fering and ill treatment.
7. Selfish and callous disregard of
their rights can only react disastrous
ly upon tho moral nature of the hu
man family, and make other similar
evils appear excusable. It is a short
step from cruelty to animals to cru
elty to human beings. The parents
who train their children to be kind,
considerate and thoughtful for the ani
mals are laying up treasures which
they themselves will reap when those
children are grown up.
8. As Jeremy Bentham, the great
Jurist, wrote of the claims of animals:
, "The question is not—‘Can they rea
j son,’ nor ‘can they talk,’ but ‘can they
suffer?”*
V/ide Awake.
An abnormally fat man lumbered in
to a Pullman on a west-bound train,
and set up a loud protest when lie
found that his berth was at the end of
the ear.
"I can't sleep a wink if I'm over
the car wheels. I won’t close my
eyes if you put me over the car
wheels, porter.’
“Can’t help It, sah,” said the por
ter. It’s the one tlwt was sold you,
! and It’s the only one there is. You 11
i have to take a chair car and set up if
! you don’t take this.’
The fat man finally decided to keep
j the berth, protesting to the last that
| he did not expect to close his eyes,
j Shortly his snores were heard above
i the rumble of the train, but it was not
until the train had a long wait that the
sounds issuing from the berth caused
anything but amusement. In the si
lence, however, they got on the pas
sehgers’ nerves, and by request the
porter prodded him in the ribs.
“My goodness, sah!” demanded the
porter. ‘ If you makes noises like that
when yon’se lyin’ wide awake over the
car wheels, what would you do if you
was sound asleep in the middle of the
car?’’
Shadow Pictures for Children.
For shadow pictures hang a sheet
in a double doorway, if possible. Have
a lamp, or preferably a bull's-eye lan
tern, set about two feet from the floor
at the back of the room used as a
stage. All kinds of interesting and
amusing shadow pictures may be giv
en with the help of stiff paper cut
outs, which may be pinned to hair
and costume to change the outlines.
Large paper noses, pointed chins and
beards may even be fastened to the
features with a bit of paste. Indians
with paper feathers and cardboard
tomahawks, and Puritan maids and
men with paper caps and broad
Drimmed hats, can give appropriate
historic scenes.—Modern Priscilla.
Would Not Burn Diamonds.
You often hear of people with
money to burn, but so far none has
ever attempted to burn their dia
monds. The reason why, perhaps, is
j because they will burn beautifully.
"A great many people imagine that
j diamonds are indestructible.” said a
| jeweler, who was placing a load of
i gems in his safe for the night, “but
as a matter of fact, a fire of diamonds
would be the briskest, prettiest thing
in the world. Diamonds are nothing
but coal-carbon. Put a handful of
diamonds on a plate and set a light
to them. They will burn wTith a hard,
gemlike flame till nothing is left.
: There will be no smoke, no soot, and
at the end the plate will be as clean
[ as tho\igh just washed—not the slight
; est particle even of ash will remain. "
; Don't try to thaw out your cracked
j ice by fire.

BOYS'AND GIRLS’ CLUB WORK
No. 5. Some A B C’s on Poultry
Raising.
By H. K. Sanders. Specialist for Club
Work.
The following table shows the rela
tive efficiency of fowls in the utiliza- :
tion of food as compared with other
livestock, and the value of the mar
ketable products secured from a given
amount of digestible matter.
One hundred pounds of d'gestible
matter will produce:
139 pounds milk, worth 1 1-2 cents
per pound. $2.08.
13.5 pounds steer, worth 7 cents per !
pound, 95c.
13 9 pounds sheep, worth 6 cents per
pound, 83c.
30.4 pounds pork, worth 7 cents per
pound. $2.13.
19.fi pounds fowl, worth 12 cents per
pound. $2.35.
28.7 pounds broilers, worth 15
cents per pound, $4.30.
*19.6 pounds eggs, (average laying),
worth 21 cents per dozen, $2.74.
30 pounds eggs, (heavy laying),
wrorth 21 cents per dozen, $4.20.
The cost of production is greatly
reduced by the fact that a large part
of the farm poultry ration is made up
| from the gleaning of the fields and
feed lots which otherwise w-ould be
I wasted.
In raising poultry special emphasis
should be laid on the importance of
using pure bred or standard fowls, for
i there Is no question that they will
show a higher average production
The poultry keeper who has mongrels
or a mixed flock should not attempt
to make a complete change In one
season. He may start with eggs for
; hatch’re or with a few dp v oid, chicks,
n
u
and in the second year can have a
small breeding flock from which alt
or most of his chicks may be hatched.
Regardless of the breed or the
breeding of the fowls, the maintenance
of constitutional vigor is of the great
est importance. Rack of attention to
health and vigor of the fowls is the
cause of many difficulties experienced
with the average poultryman. Fowls
should be fed and handled properly
throughout the winter and spring, and
also have exercise, and in a well, but
not too well ventilated house.
Qftite often the fowls In the rural j
districts have their roosts in a locust j
tree, or some other tree, where the |
cold winds chill their bodies, and j
where the rain and snow get a clear ■
sweep at them. The food consumed by [
the poultry goes to keep the body
warm, and where they are made to j
take the rough weather It takes all
the food they can get to keep them
warm and none can be converted into .
eggs. A good shelter closed on the j
north, east and west sides is impera- j
tive. Winter comfort to the hen ;
means simply protection from storm, :
extreme cold and dampness, plenty of
fresh air and sunshine and a sufficient
amount of floor space.
A damp poultry House is nopeiess
from the standpoint of winter egg pro
duction. Keep a good cover on ihe
house and keep-a dry floor.
Fowls need a variety of feed, and
ihe different grains used should be
correctly proportioned in order to get
the best resulls. and at the same time
keep the fowls in good health. Corn,
and corn alone, will not make hens
lay as they should. Corn makes them
fat. Feed a variety of grains for best
results. Animal food in some form
should be provided in all poultry ra
tions, and may be supplied in the
form of butcher scraps, green-cut
bone or commercial meat scraps. On
the farm rabbits, squirrels or other
meat killed in the woods, such as
birds, etc., will help to furnish the
animal food that hens need io make
them lay.
Usually the hen on the range under
farm conditions will not need crushed
oyster shells, yet it. is cheap, and it
Is well to keep oyster shells well
crushed before them all the time in a
box as they need the lime to form
egg shell.
Scraps, however, should never he
Ted in a sloppy condition and nothing
should be fed that is mouldy or sour
because it is liable to cause digestive
troubles. They should bo supplied
regularly with green food and this, no
doubt, will he supplied from table
scraps such as lettuce, cabbage leaves,
! apple and potato parings. Plan now
| to provide winter picking for the poul
j try on the farm by sowing a large
; patch of grain next September, bee
that the mongrels are weeded out,
secure a good laying strain, pro
vide a good warm shelter, and usa
aanltarr precautions.

IF YOU CAN’T GO TO A SUMMER RESORT
YOU CAN BRING ONE TO YOUR HOME
If you have a porch we have the equipment
to transform it into a veritable pleasure park.
And the expense-well, that’s our main
talking point.
A Hammock, a Porch Swing, Porch and Lawn
Chairs and other restful summer articles are
here waiting to make your hours of leisure
real hours of pleasure.
And there’s not a home that cannot afford
one or more of them at our surprisingly low
figures.

EARLY BUYING
Means More Service From Your Purchases.
No doubt you intend buying a new suit this
Spring or Summer, but you think you will
wait until real hot weather begins. That
plan, Mr. Man, is a mistake. You cannot pos
sibly wear out one of our suits in a season,
even if you wore it every day, and the eariler
you buy it the longer wear you will get from
it this year. Then too, an unexpected occa
sion may arise any day when you would wish
you had equipped yourself with your new
outfit. Come in at once. You have every
thing in your favor when buying early.
