Saider of the American Magazine replies unhestitately. ‘Their fee.” He explains that people have had a little sense knocked into their “heads about overeating and wrong eating, but precious little regarding their feet and their care. A move for scientifically fed school students started when pie, tea and coffee were removed from the menus of the concessionaires at the public schools. Superintendent of Schools William J. O'Shea ordered the three luncheon requisitiees from the menus because did not believ they were conducive to good health. He also gave an official frown to hot dogs, although they were not formally bannea. Instead of tea and coffee the stu- dents may have milk at five cents a half pint. The dessert menus must contain much stewed fruit. Hot cocoa must be served in the winter. Only solid chocolate and candy may be sold. “A learned man of fifty years of age the other day toppled over in his chair and died. The newspapers car- ried The newspaper carried fine ac- counts of his academic achievements and his authorship of scientific books and articlesfl Yet, in spite of all his intelligence, he was an exceedingly ignorant man,” said Dr. Theodore B. Appeal, Secretary of Health. ~ Of course this unfortunate man know a great deal, but for some strange reason he never considered it worth while to apply his great power of observation to his own body. And yet, if anyone had told him while he was living that he was neglecting his physical self, said that for years he was neglecting his physical self, he undoubtedly would haev laughed at the statement. He would have said that for years he had eaten by rule, slept by rule, exercised by hobbies. And he had undoubtedly done so. But it was the other fellow’s discip- line. Not his own. “Now the point of this story is in the fact that human beings are not factory developed propositions. Con- so far as health is concerned can not sequently, standarization of conduct be relied upon with absolute safety if carried beyond a certain point. “Certainly there are thousands of things that people can do which ev- eryone knows are definitely harmful, but on the other hand, there appear to be many other things that some people can do harmlessly that actual- ly injure others. “Coffee, tobacco, setting up exer- cises, cold baths, types of food, sleep and rest do not develop standard re- actions.

And waht about a ballad dedicated to the Muse of Bath Tub Singing, with a refrain going this way: Water and soap together— Whom inds the hot, hot weather ? It’s an entertaining idea to play with as you relax into the scented waters of a “deep bath.” For just as the plunge and sparkle of running water inspires | almost everyone to sing, so the depth | and quiet of a perfumed bath favor meditation.

Ancient Writers Had Idea of Punctuation Our present system of punctuation, which divides written language into. sections by means of various signs and points. may be said to have grown out of a system developed by Aldus Manutius, an Italian scholar and printer, who printed Greek classics on his press at Venice in the latter part of the Fifteenth century and the be- ginning of the Sixteenth. Manutius was born in 1450 and died in 1515. It should not be supposed, however, that Manutius was the sole inventor of punctuation, although the main features of the modern system are due chiefly to his ingenuity and that of the Greek scholars employed by nim. Among the later Greeks various dots had been used for oratorical pur- poses. Aristophanes, a Greek gram- marian of Alexandria who died about 180 or 185 B. C,, is said to have de- vised a system of punctuation by means of dots. Prose punctuation of a crude type was probably used even before the time of Aristophanes. In the early part of the Ninth century these earlier systems were so completely forgotten that Charlemagne requested scholars to revive them. St. Jerome, who died 420 A. D., knew nothing whatever about punctuation.—Pathfinder Mag- azine. Effect of Light on Flowers and Plants Spring violets have been made to bloom in the summer simply by cut- ting down their ration of daylight to the length of a spring day. The extra heat of summer had no effect on the growth of the plant. In this controlling of plant growth, artificial light has the same effect as sunlight or the light of a greenhouse, and twelve hours of light (whether natural or artificial) is “summertime” for the plants, and six hours’ light “winter.” An experiment conducted with iriset fs given as an example of the effect of light rationing on plants. Two lots of irises were sown in late October; the first were given eighteen hours of light per day, while the others (kept in the same temperature) received only the light provided by nature. The first lot reached normal size very quickly. and actually bloomed on Christmas day, but the others were dormant as late as the following Feb- ruary. Queen’s Watch One of the oddest timepieces in the world belonged to Mary Queen of Scots, who felt a superstitious aver- sion to it and gave it to Mary Seaton, one of her maids of honor, who gave it in turn to Sir Thomas Dick Laud- er. It was in the shape of a skull; the forehead was engraved with a scythe and an hour-glass between a palace and a cottage, signifying that time and death made no distinctions. At the back of the skull a figure of Time was pictured spreading de- struction over the world, and on the top appeared Eve and the serpent in the Garden of Eden, and the Cruci- fixion. Just Her Luck A local business woman had bought a number of chances on an automo- bile, and on the night it was to be raffled off, went to bed in the firm belief that she was to be the winner. Shortly after midnight the phone rang, and she jumped up to answer it, preparing ner “speech of accept- ance” as she ran. In answer to her “hello,” the voice said that her niece had twin daugh- ters at the hospital. “Just my luck,” she said. “If it was raining soup, I'd be out with a sieve.” —Indianapolis News. Appropriate Designation “Amerind” is a telescopic word | composed of the first syllables of “American” and “Indian” and is a general term used to designate the races of man who inhabited the New world before the arrival of Europeans. It was suggested in 1899 by Maj. J. W. Powell, director of the bureau of American ethnology, who advocated it as a convenient substitute for the numerous awkward and inappropriate terms applied to the aborigines of America. “Amerind” is pronounced “am-er-ind.” with the accent on the first syllable. New Camphor Source A native source for camphor, im- portant in both medicine and manu- facturing, has been discovered in a species of wormwood that grows on |-the sandy steppes of the government of Astrakhan, Russia. An oil extraect- ed from this plant has been subjected to experiments at the Saratow experi- ment station, and was found to yield | a good quality of camphor. The -crys- tals differ in their physical properties from those of camphor obtained from camphor trees, but chemically they are identical with it.

T FORD is still a good car THE Model T Ford led the motor industry for twenty worth, reliability and econ- omy. Those same reasons continue to make it a good car. As a matter of fact, nearly one-fourth of all the auto- mobiles in use today are Model T Fords. Millions of them can be driven two, three and even five more years with reasonable care and proper replacements. Figures seven years. Don’t sacrifice your Model T, therefore, but take it to the Ford dealer and have him estimate on the cost of putting it in Al shape. A very small expenditure may be the means of giving you thousands of miles of additional For a labor charge of $20 to $25 you can have your motor and transmission completely overhauled. This price includes new bearings, reboring cylinders and any other work necessary. Parts are extra. Valves can be ground and carbon removed for $3 to $4. The cost of tightening all main bearings is only $6. The labor charge for overhauling the front axle is $4.50 to $5—rear axle assembly, $5.75 to $7. New universal joint will be installed for a labor charge for $1.50. Rear spring and perches rebushed for $1.75. The cost of overhauling the starting motor is $3. A labor charge of approxi- mately $2.50 covers the overhauling of the generator. It will pay you, therefore, to see your Ford dealer and have him put your Model T in good running order. By doing so you will protect and maintain the invest- ment you have in your car and get months and years of reliable transportation at a very low cost per mile.

Records of 14,000 Gold Star Moth- ers and unmarried widows of Ameri- ca’'s soldier dead in Europe, have been received at the cemeterial divi- sion of the War Department and will be investigated in preparation for the pilgrimage to the eight cemeteries. There are approximately 30,000 wo- men in the United States who are eligible for the courtesy of this pilgri- mage which probably will begin early in 1930. Present arrangements are to tions. The bill passed at the last session of Congress, provides that every wid- ow, who has not married since her husband's death, and every mother of soldiers and sailors buried in Europe, will be permitted to make a visit to the grave of her loved one at the ex- pense of the government. Each person entitled to make the pilgrimage will receive an invitation from the cemeterial division, as soon as authorities have approved the in- vestigation reports. Many of the women who will re- ceive the courtesy of the trip, war de- partment officials, believe, are those section of the country, and to women of almost every nationality of the civ- ilized world, as many of the soldiers and sailors buried in the six cemeteries of France and the one in Belgium and one in England, were of foreign parentage. The trip will be made on first class steamers with first class accommoda- tions, from start to return. All ex- penses are to be paid by the govern- ment from the time the widow or mother leaves her home until she re- turns. Liberal interpretations of the term “mother” is included in the bill. It 1s set forth that the term “mother” may mean ‘mother, step-mother, mother through adoption or any woman who has stood in loco parentis to the de- ceased members for the year prior to the commencement of his service.” KNEW HIS NIGHTINGALE. One time on the Texas frontier a man came into a camp riding an old mule. k “How much for the mule?” asked a bystander. “Jist a hundred dollars,’ the rider. “I'll give you five dollars,” other. The rider stopped short, as if in amazement, and then slowly dis- mounted. “Stranger,” said he, “I ain't a-goin to let a little matter of ninety-five dollars stand between me and a mule trade. The mule’s yourn.”—Outlook. answered said the —Subscribe for the Watchman. divide the pilgrimage into three sec- who have seldom left their own com- | munities.

Two ages of turkeys den't {mix any better than two ages of ! chickens do. —A point to keep in mind in feed- ing mash to the turkeys is that they !need the vitamine D provided by a | good high-grade cod-liver oil just as badly as do chickens. —Most turkey raisers will wish to {hatch the eggs in an incubator and brood the poults artifically. By doing ! this they can keep the turkey hens in | production almost continuously. —Usually it is necessary to use one gander to every three or four geese. | A young gander will do provided he ‘is fully matured. Geese may be turn- ;ed out in any moderately cold weath- ‘er. | —Each turkey egg is worth a great deal more than a single chicken egg, and because of this fact the loss is | greater when the eggs do not hatch !or when they hatch into weak tur- keys. | —There’s no better feed for young | poults than plenty of sour milk, Feed | five times daily at first, but don't 'over feed, and be sure to keep grit, |charcoal and clean water before “them at all times. | ——— | A slight increase in number of ‘sheep on Pennsylvania farms is re- i ported by the Federal-State Crop Re- | porting Service. On January 1, this | year, the estimated number was plac- led at 441,000 as compared with 437,- 1000 on the corresponding date a year ago. The value of the sheep has also increased slightly and is now the | highest since 1926. Prices for sheep are considered fa- {vorable and the demand good, judging 'from reports received from farmers. 'A number of farmers are said to be improving their flocks. | Establishing a new State record in cow testing circles, H. A. Snyder, of | Montoursville, obtained a herd pro- | duction of more than 500 pounds of {butterfat per cow for the second con- ‘secutive year. No other herd in cow testing association work has ever . maintained such a record two years (in succession. Snyder is ‘enrolled in the White Deer Valley association of | Lycoming county. Seventeen cows in (his herd averaged 13,595 pounds of ‘milk and 512.3 pounds of butterfat. | Eight cows produced over 500 pounds jof butterfat and five cows exceeded 1400 pounds. —A shortage of 200,000 cows in the country shows the need of growing calves, but fluid milk at present high prices makes this type of feeding pro- hibitive, according to Professor A. A. ‘Borland, head of the dairy husbandry department at State College. Experiment Station workers in dairy feeding at Penn State have found, however, that it is possible to grow calves on skimmilk powder and a grain mixture. After the calves become 6 weeks of age a mixture of 55 parts of yellow corn meal, 35 parts of wheat bran is recommended for this purpose. “More and better eggs from pul- lets in clean quarters” is the slogan of progressive Centre County poultry- men. These successful egg producers keep their pullets confined to the lay- ing quarters after they are housed. Experience has taught them that there are good reasons for this prac- tice. to disease germs and parasites in the contaminated ground around the lay- ing quarters. They will eat more food and as a result lay more eggs. There will be no stolen nests. There will be fewer dirty eggs, because the layers will not have access to muddy yards during wet weather. —Runner ducks are classed aslay- ing ducks and are the only breed rec- ognized in that classification. In many instances Runners have produc. ed as many eggs as chickens. If managed properly ducks of this breed may be expected to lay almost as well as hens. These ducks are small in size, the males weighing four to four and one-half pounds and the females three and a half to four pounds. In spite of the fact that they are heavy layers they mature quite rapidly and make good broilers. They are killed ifor this purpose when they weigh ‘about two and a half to three pounds. These ducks are long and narrow bodied. —In response to inquiries regard- ing the preserving of eggs, the Bu- reau of Markets said that the water- |glass method gives Satisfactory re- |sults. This method consists of mix- \ing one and one half quarts of com- | mercial waterglass with eighteen |quarts of water that has previously been boiled. Stir the mixture thor- oughly and pour it into an earthen |jar or odorless tub. This should be sufficient solution to preserve thirty | dozens of eggs but if the eggs are "not entirely covered, five quarts of {water may be added without impair- ing the solution. In cases where the | housewife desires to preserve less {than thirty dozen, a proportionate ! amount of solution may be made. The | jar or tub should be covered with paraffin paper and kept in a cool place. Persons interested may obtain in. formation regarding other methods of preserving eggs biy writing to the Bu- 'reau of Markets, Harrisburg.

WEST PENN POWER CO FOR BETTER LIVING USE ELECTRICITY A HATCH OF 30,000 RINGNECKS EXPECTED It is the hope of superintendent | Sines, of the Jordan state game farm, |in Lawrence county, to secure a hatch jof about 30,000 ringneck pheasant |eggs this season. Of this number 12,- 000 will be alloted to the various game refuges throughout the State; 3,000 will be shipped to the Fisher game farm 'in Montgomery county; 4,500 will be retained by Mr. Sines at the Jordan farm, and the remainder will be distributed to sportsmen’s as- sociations and others interested in rearing the birds. At present records would indicate that sufficient applica- tions from sportsmen and others have already been received to care for the remaining eggs. However, the hatch may be larger than contemplated, and if the Commission finds they can distribute additional eggs, this mat- ter will be given publicity through the ‘local newspapers.
