The most satisfactory way to buy meats that we know of is to induce friend husband to come with you to our butcher shop to assist you in your selections. As a rule men eat more meat than women and their tastes and selections are generally more reliable. We have all the meats in season, fresh daily and tender and appetizing. Try this plan. ———————— Keep Your Tags Intact. : Warning against cutting or bend- ing license tags to make them fit the bracket on the automobile was voiced last week by Benjamin G. Eynon, reg- istrar of motor vehicles. Owners were reminded that the tags must not be obscured, must be lighted and kept free from dirt. Newton C. Neidigh, et ux, to Mar-! ion B. Meyer, tract in Ferguson Twp.; | F ew [Know Me-ning of Words in Common Use It is not considered complimentary to say of a woman that she is “no lady,” but how many women are en- titled to the name In its real sense? I do not know one, for the true mean- ing of “lady” is a loaf-kneader—a noble art that is practically defunct today. There are about 2,000,000 spinsters in Great Britain, but how many of them can spin? And although every man is Mr. So-and-so, very few are entitled to the Mr, in its true mean ing of master. My grocer is certainly not an en- erosser, though he retains the old name in its abbreviated form; my chemist knows little or nothing of alchemy. from which his predecessors got the name of alchemist. Costers no longer sell costard apples. some sailors have never been on a sh'p with sails, and the bumble “navvy” has long since ceased to make navigation canals. The constable Is not the couni of the stable, the pnblican is not the tax collector, and the gaffer of a mill often hehaves in a way very unlike his name, which is a shortened form of godfather. Of the thousands of clerks working today not one is a clergyman or cleric; the old name has come down from the time when the only poople who could write were the cleries.— Londen Evening News, Find Many Uses for Tree Bark in Africa Tree bark is used in tropical Africa co make cloth. In days gone by this material was solely used to provide what little covering human bodies needed. In the making of the cloth the tree ix stripped to a heizht of about ten feet. ‘This Hark stripping can be done at twelve-month intervals. the third or fourth bark making the pest cloth. The inner bark is used for the cloth, and strips from four to eight feet in length are beaten will a mallet to the thickness of heavy brown paper. It is then sun dried, when It takes on a terra-cotla shade. Holes and flaws are patched and the cloth 1s made up Into shecis about eight feet square. Strips of fiber from the dry stem are used as thread apd the work of stitching is always under- taken by men. In addition, the bark is used for door hinges, drinking ves- sels, grain drums, cradles, beehives, nets, gime traps, blankets, fishing lines, rope, cord and thread. Did Not Like “Aida” As an example of genuine impudence a letter written to Giuseppe Verdi takes the cake. The letter, which is included in the Verdi collection recent ly published in Italy, includes one re- piving to a young man who demanded; prepayment of the expenses’ he ‘incurred: in going to see “Alda” when it was produced in 1872. He abused the cpera roundly, prophesying that it would “rot away in the library,” and asked for a sum covering his train fare, his seat, and his supper! And Verdi actually paid it, exacting a promise, however, that the young man would never attend another opera of his. : Straw Through Board The energy with which a body strikes on object determines the plerc- ing effect and damaging effect of the body. Energy Is measured by the prod- uct of the mass of the body and the square of the velocity. Thus a very small body moving with & high velocity can possess just as much kinetic en- ergy as a large body moving slowly. The straw driven by a cyclone is hurled through the air at an enormous veloc. ity and expends its energy in going through the wood. This happens 80 quickly that the inertia of the straw keeps iL from crumpling up before piercing. Love of Applause Human applause Is, by a worldly man, reckoned not only among the luxuries of life, but among articles ot the first necessity. An undue desire to obtain it has certainly its founda- tion in vanity, and it is one of our grand errors to reckon vanity a trivisl fault . . . Reputation being in it- self so very desirable or good, those who actually possess it, and In some sense deserve to possess it, are apt to make it their standard, and to rest In it as their supreme aim and end.—Hannah More. Autoists Catch Ostriches Catching ostriches by automobile is being tried in the Arabian desert, fol- lowing the bagging of two birds in a day by a party recently. At first the birds outdistanced the cars, but they goon tired, and as the auto approached alongside, a hunter stepped on the running board, grasped one bird by the peck and pulled it into the car. It was too exhausted to struggle. The companion ostrich was captured in the same manner, and four others were shot. Chew Well and See Well Sir Arthur Keith, the great British anatomist, says you must chew well if you would see well. He claims that decreased exercise of the jaws, and not eye-strain, is causing short sight. Jecguse of the soft foods of modern diet, he says, use of the jaws has diminished, the skape of the face ie changing and the eye sockets are lengthening. thus elongating the eye- balls and weakening vision.—Path- finder Magazine. 27 Million in Car License Fees. Motor licenses fees brought in $27,- 209,822 to the coffers of the State Highway Department in 1928, the de- partment announced. That is $1,192,- 326 above the 1927 totals. Passenger car owners paid in $14,- $620,501 of that total receipts, while commercial vehicles were credited with $$6,375,232. Both receipts from passenger and commercial types showed increases. There was a gain of 7362 in trucks. Last year’s increase in the number of passenger cars was the smallest since 1922, when the number was nearly 59,000. The gain in this class of ve- hicles for 1927 was more than 89,000. In 1906 the total number of automo- biles registered in Pensylvania was 10,954. There censes in the State, 152,308 for the year. The annual report shows a decrease of more than 33,000 in the number of learner’s permits issued. Violations of the motor laws brought in $532,812. ———————— ———— Milk Chief Food.
