CHARITY AND HELPFULNESS.
Herbert Hoover, erstwhile wil
ling candidate for the Republican
nomination for President, and
Food Administrator who did so
much and so well in getting food
tQ'the hungry of Europe during
the years of the World War, is
j, now calling on this country to
! furnish $23,000,000 for seltef work
s - In war-stricken countries to save
them from dying of hunger. It is
a call that should appeal to every
charitable instinct.
In connection with this appeal
and its worthiness there is anoth
er phase that reflects an un
performed duty that would have
gone a long way toward forestall
ing some of the distressing condi
tions that must now be met by
charity to save the lives of inno
cent ones. J — ,
At this hour the United
States of America is technical
ly at war with some of the larger
Central Powers of Europe and
hence there sre no trade relations
between America and them.
America has an abundance of
raw material and food products
which they need and would be
glad to have. But America neith
er sells io them nor bnys from
them. This is the condition,
though actual hostilities ceased
more than 24 months ago.
If those Powers could have had
America's raw material, they
would have manufactured it atid
sold it; given employment to the
Idle and enabled them to buy
*what they needed Instead of be
coming a charge upon the rest of
the world.
This condition has reduced those
Eastern states to hunger and want.
America's inability to sell to
1; them under existing conditions is
now forcing the Aiuericau fanner
to sell below the cost ol produc
tion—at ruinously low prices,
> and curtailed his baying ability.
Mills and factories have had to
curtail, stop entirely in some in
stance?. And failure, doubtless,
is staring many in the face,
i, The question arises, could any
thing here have been done to re
lieve the situation and minimize
the problem of rdfconstruction?
If peace had been declared with
reaaonable promptness on the
i part of the United States, many
of the existing troubles wonltl
I have been averted. But for polit
leal ends Lodpe and his backers
would uot have a peace proposed
| by a Democratic administration,
prefering rather that the world
and their own country be thrown
Into business chaos.
Is not the action of the Repub
lic lican Senate responsible for much
of the distress that now hovers
over Europe and the impending
bbsinees disaster that threatens
this country?
Upon the change in the politl
oai complexion of ther. country,
usually what may be expected is
reflected in the business of the
nation immediately upon the an*
nouncemeut of the result. AH
are hoping that the signs this
time may prove different, other
* wise wrecked businesses and idle
n ess,and want will giark the years
of the coming administration.
Republican National Chairman
Ilajs is calling for one,aud half
million dollars more to meet nu
| paid campaign expenses. The
big businesses that expected to
profit through a Republican
victory should respond wilh alac
rity, to aliow th"ir appreciation of
thf response the voters gave for a

At the university, to cite only

were built for two, and at mauy

Sufferers of stomach, liver and

to experiment if the Reese Form

W.-F. Dodson, oorre«ponding and.
recording secretary of the Lynch
burg Labor Union. Mr. Dodso i
says '"no one crfu be disappointed
in this wonderful remedy, which
lie is absolutely sure be is right in
recommending to anyone and
everyone." This Labor Leader
coutiuueM :
j *1 had stomach and liver trou
, ble* for a number of years, and
! u>ok many kinds of remedies
| which, -it seemed, did me very
little, if any good. I had no ap
petite, and uothing that I ate
seemed to agree with me. I just
about decided to let the medicine
go and tough it out when I saw
an advertisement of the Reese
Formula R-U. I gave this very
ill tie uotice, however, as I had
tried so inauy remedies that had
only disappointed me. One day
while I was talking with Mt. R.
M. McOh«e, • who works in the
shop* With me, I asked hiin how
he felt, for 1 knew he bad been
sick with a serious stomach trou
ble. He told me he was a great
deal better; that he was taking a
medicine that did him more good
thau anything he had ever taken.
This remedy he said Was the
Reese Formula R-11, which he
bought at the Union Crafts Co
operative store. Knowing Mr.
McGhee to be a conservative tnan
and. on the strength of his recom
mendation I decided to get a bot
tle of R-11, which I did that
eveuing. I can state positively
and truthfully that I received
more real benefit from thin reme
dy in one week than I ev*r got
from all the medicines I had
tried. My appetite improved, in
digestion disappeared* and I felt
hotter genera'ly than I bad in
months. I am very thankful I
Krund out about this splendid
remedy for stomach, kiduey and
liver troubles, and feel that no
one will have to experiment any
more if the Reese Formula R-ll
can be procured. I would qualify
this only to say that I think any
one that has had these troubles
for any length of time should take t
two or three bottles of R-ll and
1 IVel sure they will uot be din
appointed."

TESTING EGGS FOR HATCHING
Satisfactory Candlsr May Be Made
With Shoe Box Large Enough
to Cover tamp.
(Prepared by the United States Depart*
ment of Agriculture.)
An egg, whether impregnated or not,
-has a small grayish spot on the sur
face of the yolk known as the germinal
spot. As soon as a fertile egg iis
placed under a hen or in an Incubator
development begins. Ail eggs should
be tested at least twice during the
period of incubation, preferably on the
seventh and fourteenth days, and tha
infertile eggs and dead germs removed.
White eggs can be tested on the fourth
or fifth day, while the development in
eggs having brOwn shells often can not
be seen by tbe use of an ordinary egg
tester until the seventh day. Dead
germs soon decay and give off a bad
odor if allowed to remain under the
ben. Infertile eggs mske good feed
.or young chickens and are often used
in the home for culinary purposes.
Moat Incubator companies furnish
testing chimneys with their machines,
which will fit ordinary lamps. X&ectrle
or gas lamps may be used in a box
with a hole slightly smaller than an
egg cut in the side of the box and at
the same level as the light They may
also be tested by sunlight or daylight,
using a shutter or curtain with a small
hole in It for the light to shine through.
A good homemade egg teeter, or can>
dler, can be made with a targe shoe
box, or any box that Is large enough
to go over a lamp, by removing the
end and cutting a hole a little larger
than the slxe of a quarter in the bot
tom of the box, so that when it is set
over a kerosene lamp the hole In tbe
bottom will be oppoaite tbe blase. A

hole the slse of a silver dollar should
be cut In the top of the box to allow
the heat to escape. ,
The eggs are tested with the large
end up, so that the size of the air cell
may be seen as well as the condition
of the embryo. The testing should
take place In a dark room. The Infer
tile egg, when held before the small
hole, with the lamp lighted Inside the
box, will look perfectly clear, the same
aa a fresh one, while a fertile egg will
ahow a small .dark spot, known as the
embryo, with a mass of little blood
veins extending In all directions, if the
embryo Is living; If dead, and the egg
has been incnbated for nt least 46
hours, the blood settles away from the
embryo toward the edges of the yolk,
forming In some cases an Irregular
circle of blood, known as n blood ring.
Eggs vary In this respect, some show
ing only a streak of blood. All Infer
tile eggs should be removed at the
first test The eggs containing strong,
living embryos are dark and well filled
np on the fourteenth day, and show a
clear, sharp, distinct lino of demarca
tlon between the air cell and tin grow
ing embryo, while dead germs show
only partial development, and la A this
