THRIFT AND THE MAN. --- Sclf Help and Self Respect Allied to Good Citizenship. Thrift is an essential nini imperative part of good citizenship. The man who sets aside n few pence or shillings every week or every month Is not only making future provision for himself, his children or others who may be dependent on him; but, con- sttiously or unconseiously, he is at the 8:1Ille time serving his country by help- ing to create a type of character whieh is one of the tnost valuahle of national assets, fie is setting 013 eXt1 mple of sel' com- mand every time he fights down the temptation to spend on some passing pieasure the money which should be reserved for a more useful, purpose. And self coinmand means much in good citizenship, He is setting an example of self help. He does not 'ait for "something to turn up," but sets to wdrk resolute- ly to improve his position in life by his own exertions. Ile is setting an example of self re - 51)0(1. The saving of money honestly earned fosters that spirit of sturdy in- dependence and confidence in one's own powers Which have played no 5111011 part in building up the prosper- ity of this country. In addition to the ethical value which I have endeavored to indicate, the prac- tice of thrift by individuals has a ma- terial value to the nation, The secu- rity of the intricate fabric of national credit depends to a very large extent upon the reserve of capital fteCtinIll- lated by those who invest in savings banks and similar institutions.—Sir T.

A frequent cause of pip is neglect to clean Mother Hen's coop or the brood- er. The droppings accumulate, and chicks sleeping amid the damp filth are affected by the damp and moist poisoned air.

They are then high- est in price and not so select Don't judge your hens by appear- 'ances.- The trap nest shows up the best. Don't consider poultry a kid glove affair.

The egg rust will soon be on, and those who denied themselves eggs on account of the high winter prices will again have eggs "a -plenty." Why not put up fresh, cheap eggs in. water glaSs and have eggs nearly good as new when winter comes again with Its high prices? A. reader, Mr. Herman T. Frueauff of Allentown, Pa., who carne from the old country, writes this testimonial for the American egg, "1 have never eaten an egg in Germany that had the delightful flavor of a fresh American egg." We thank Mr. Frueauff for this honest ex- pression and it explains probably why American egg exports are so rapidly increasing.' The production of eggs in this coun- try last year, if distributed per capita, would mean 219 eggs to every man, woman and child in the United States. That seems a pile of eggs to eat; but, no, it's not one a day. An English authority sums up lay- ing type thus: First, short legs, set wide apart, with plenty of stern and tail carried high; second, bright eye; third, alert, active carriage; fourth, an early riser and late going to roost. The width between the legs is a step to developing a well proportioned stern, and when this has been attain- ed nature, abhorring a vacuum, fil14 the cavity supplied with an increased gaze of ovary.

The death of Kenith, the half myth- ical king of Scotland, was one of the most curious and remarkable in his- tory, if it may be called a historical :act. It seems that Kenith had slain Cruthlintus, a son, and Malcolm Diet fus, the -king and brother of Fennella. She to be revenged caused Wiltus, the meet ingenious artist of the time, to fashion a statue filled with automatic springs and levers. Finished and set up this brozen image was an admirable work of art. In its right hand Wiltns placed a ewer and in the left an apple of pure gold finely set with diamonds and other precious stones. To touch this apple was to court death. It was so arranged that any one guilty of such vandalism would be immediately riddled with arrows shot from loop- holes in the statue's body. Kenith was invited to see the wonder and, king- like (and just as Fennella thoped), tried to pluck the imitation fruit. He was instantly riddled with poisoned arrows, dying where he fell. HAD SALT RHEUM ON HER HANDS SO BAD SHE COULD NOT WORK Burdock Blood Bitters Cured Her Mrs, B. Bell, Box 104, Newboro, Ont., writes:—"Some time ago I was troubled with Salt Rheum on my hands, and it was so bad I could not do my work. I tried several medicines but they en failed to help me. One day a friend told me to try Burdock Blood Bitters, so I got a bottle, and before I had taken it my hands were better. I n.t71 4101 afraid to recormnend 13,13.13. to any- body." There is only one way to get rid of all those obnoxious skin diseases, such as liezerna, Salt Rheum, Boils,' Pimple.; etc., and that is by giving the blood a' thorough cleansing by the use of Bur- dock Blood, Bitters.

Lice on chicks, mites and 11111; in brood coops, and rank, polsoaed ground, certainly keep the chicken undertaker busy all summer and are reeponsIble for most of the mortality among chicks, especially on, farms where natural incubation and natural brooding still generally prevail. Little . ,tention is paid to lice except to grease chicks when' first hatched, one brood after the other Uses the same coop without renovation, and the( sante old ground is used for coops and chick runs year after year without plowing flown the surface or planting some quick growing crop to -take up - the poison of droppings. Thee some wonder at the big death rate, stunted stock, intestinal troubles, gape worms, tuberculosis and poen paying poultry. With such' bughouse methods prei veiling, some cannot see that chicks' cannot be raised in any old way at all and proceed to -blame it on the man who sold them the eggs to hatch, otI the weather, on the feeding method et on the general cussedness of the cluck. But not so; it's the bughouse nix•cum-erous. Yes, clean chicks, clean coops and clean ground cut much ice in the poultry game and don't you for- get it.
