WALKER CLIMBING THE HILLS O LOWLY over the hills on the wlnd ^ ing roads, toward a loftier crest and a higher life, noble men and wom en wend their weary way, forgetful of time, forgetful of everything but the goal that lies waiting for them at the end of their Journey. Some of these humans as they move along weave the scattered threads of gold which they gather Into shining garments; others content themselves with humility, from which they get their greatest reward. All are governed by Ambition. The censors enumerate, catalogue and classify the good and the bad. They leave the result of their labors to the travelers who are yet to come, and who like those of the present must learn from the climbers who have gone before. If we of this day and generation have within us the proper energy and Interest, we shall go a little higher, but we must fight every Inch of the way for foothold and keep our honor as bright as burnished silver. We must pay the price In constant work. We must lift our eyes to the skies and march on and on undaunted We must pack our hearts with faith. Faith Is for the hour when defeat threatens, to carry us over the crisis, up to a higher altitude where the ground Is firm, where hope becomes doubly sure, and we know and feel within our souls that we have at last Last Name IS IT DELANO? >"pHE name of this family might be Included in a list of names that are peculiarly American, because while It Is of French origin, yon will never find Its like In France. You may trace It back to Philip de La Noye, who was probably the son of Jean de Launey, or de Lanoue. Philip camo* to Plymouth on the For tune In iffiJl from Leyden. Govsfnor Wlnslow In his history of the colo nists tells us that he was born of French parents and that when he had expressed his desire to come into communion with the English colonists he proved himself to have come "from such parentL as were In full com munion with the French churches." By this W Inslow of course meant that he was a son of thoroughly Protestant parents. His father, Jean, was born about 1003 In Leyden. , Philip was married In Duxbury, whither he went after leaving Ply mouth, to Esther Dewsbury, and later to Mary Pontus, widow of James Glass. Later he went to Brldgewater and then was one of the purchasers of Dartmouth and later of Middle borough. The name Delano was not spelled In that way until the time of Philip's grandchildren. It Is interesting that one of his great-grandchildren, Susannah by reached the coveted turning point of our career. From the hot-headed, the obdurate and the foolhardy, Ambition turns away sorrowfully; but to the earnest, the courageous and the unwavering she stretches out her strong arm and lifts them up to distinction. If you have been tempted to with draw from the chase, but have over come the impulse, be assured that you are climbing on solid ground. You may have smarted awhile un der the stroke of the lash, but be cause of the stripes you have become a better climber, a better man or woman For^you have learned how to shut your mouth and say nothing when angry ; how to put forth the last ounce of your own strength, and how, when almost overcome, to rely on faith, which sustained you and en abled you to reach the goal, which Is possible for any one who has the simple trust of a little child In the promise of his father. <? by McClur# N?wap?p?r Syndleat*.)

The young lady ACROSS THE WAY The young lady across the way says she saw in the paper that the per c&plta wealth in this country Is 142.81 but they evidently didn't count hers I right (? by HeClur* N?wap*p*r 8ra61cat?.t What People Are Interested In DIFFERENCE IN MEN THE degree of a man's Intelligent* may be judged by the worth of the things he considers Important, always supposing that the judges know what things really are Important. BUI Is an average man and sells bonds to get a living. He plays golf, reads the sport page and cusses con gress. But the thing uppermost In his mind, the burden of his conversa tion and the goal of his labors la an extension of the car track from Its present terminal to a point eight blocks farther east. Jack Is an average man. He lays brick and worries about the cost of meat and takes an Interest In box scores and politics; but his chief. con cern is to persuade boys to join the Y. M. 0. A. Bob Is average also. He clerics In a store and reads outdoor magazines and Invest# his spare money In fishing tackle. He thinks the most Important task this generation has to face Is the preservation of standing timber. Henry Is a planter. He Is Interested In radio development and religion, and enjoys his children and his flivver; but his spare time Is devoted to earnest correspondence designed to promote Interest In a high tariff on peanuts. George Is ordinary In all ways. He writes Insurance and keeps a cage of pigeons; reads the inagazlnes that tell how great and wealthy men get that way ; delights In helping the chil dren with their lessons, reads aloud from- Shakespeare. He will tell you that the great need of the times Is purification of the drama. Pete isn't unusual. He is a tailor and enjoys the study of ancient fash Ions. He has a good collection of old coins; thinks everybody should sleep out of doors; teaches a class In Sun day school. Whenever opportunity appears he tells people that the great need of the present Is universal study of Esperanto. Clyde Is a traveling man and reads Emerson. He thinks the breeding of live stock should be encouraged, and he Is working on an automatic shot lace; but his soul is disturbed by the urgent need of laws to suppress Idle pleasure seekers. "Ah, well ; perhaps you can Judge a man's. Intelligence by the worth of the things he considers Important! One small head seldom affords room for more than one enthusiasm, and the average man just keeps on going ts the direction that something or body directed him.? Baltimore Sob, GARMENTS demand PROPER ATTENTION / . ... . * One of Euentials to Have Clothe* in Condition. ( Prepared by the .United Stntee Department ?( Agriculture.) Garments even of the best quality, design, and workmanship will soon become shabby through lack of care;, while those that may perhaps have cos t only half as much may be kept fresh looking for a considerable length of time by the painstaking care of the wearer. One of the greatest helps In keep ing clothing In good condition Is to give Immediate attention to the re pairs, such as mending rips and torn places, sewing on loosened buttons, fasteners, and trimmings, and rework ing worn buttonholes. Also "preven tive" darning may lengthen the period of service of many a garment This is done by re-enforclng a worn place with rows of fine stitches, or by laying a piece of cloth (like the garment If possible) under It and darning It down with ravellngs of the material. Cleanliness demands that all outer clothing should be rid of the accumula tion of dust and dirt Immediately af ter wearing. Silk and woolen garments and hats should be brushed. If one can afford them It Is well to have a collection of brushes suited to various materials, for example, one with rather short stiff bristles for heavy woolen Iron after waxing, a pre^F dftlfc cheesecloth or old thin nivalin, and aa old bath towel. rJ0\ The seam board la a 'triangular board, about 18 Inches long, and hat the upper edge slightly rounded ; It Is dipped Into stares when seams are to be pressed open. The HBftr's press board Is supported tif v two uprifht pieces set ori a heavy base*. It njay be used on any table and Is excellent for pressing shaped and tailored gar ments, such as coats. The tailor's cushion, sometimes , tailed a ham, Is oval In shape and narrower at one end than at the other; it is made of hetTf cotton duck, stuffed very tight with wet woolen rags, then dried in the hot sun or in a cool oven to prevent mil dew. ' A strip made of bearyfcotton duck 1^4 yards In length makes a satisfac tory press cloth, because when thor oughly wet . It does not dry out quick ly under the heat of, the Iron. An old bath towel provides a soft sur face for pressing embroidered v gar ments; it may also be used to wrap up silk waists immediately after rinsing and thus to absorb some of the water before they are ironed. EGGS ARE VALUABLE FOR THE CHILDREN Fine Source of Building Ma terial and Energy . Different Shaped Tailors' Cushions Can Be Made at Horn* and*Maka Pressing Easier and Raaulta B attar. outer clothing, a whlskbroom for gen eral brushing, a softer bristle brush for velvet or silk, and a specially shaped soft brush for hate. A piece of velvet Is also good to use for brush ing dust from silk or satin. Underclothing and all other waah able garments should be washed be fore they become so soiled thst hard rubbing Is necessary. Cleanliness In creases the length of service from a garment and hence Is real economy. This is particularly true of stockings. Frequent wsshlng prolongs their life for two reasons; It removes perspira tion and grit, which damage the fibers, and it changes the place where the strain of wear comes. All clothing. Including shoes, should be aired after wearing. Perspiration will cause wrinkles and disagreeable odors and tend to rot fabrics, unless the garfhents are placed1 In a good cir culation of air before they are put in closets and boxes. Brushing and airing clothes often, and when possible out-of-doors, will do much toward keeping them fresh and dean and should supplement the nightly airing needed by garments In constant uae. The Immediate removal of spots, especially from woolen garments, Is desirable because dust settles In them and makes later cleansing more diffi cult. The care of clothing Is lees expen sive If one can preea the garments at home. To do thla eaaily requires spe cial equipment, with the addition of a heavy cotton cloth to uae In preaslng woolens. An Ideal equipment, which might be acquired by making occa sional addltlona to the appllancee al ready In the houae, according to Far mers' Bulletin 1089, Selection and Care of Clothing, consists of sn iron ing board of the type used for skirts, s sleeve board, a seam board, a tai lor's press board, a tailor's cushion, Irons, wax, cloth for rubbing off the Easter day for Easter eggs, Christ mas day for Christmas presents, and the Fourth of Jnly for firecrackers! So runs the calendar for the children. But luckily for their good nutrition, eggs are not restricted to Easter Sun day in quite the same way that pres ents belong to Christmas and fire crackers to the glorious Fourth. Eggs are so valuable In the building of healthy little bodies and lend them selves to so much variety in prepara tion that mothers should think of them as running a dose second to milk in the children's list This is easy to accept la view of the function which each of these foods is primarily in tended to fulfill. Cow's milk Is se creted to make the young calf grow, and is therefore rich In properties which promote growth. But eggs are produced to create baby chicks, and when one remembers that an egg kept at the right temperature for about three weeks produces a chick so well developed that it begins to walk and eat at once, it goes without saying that eggs are a fine source of build ing material and energy. And just now when even popular ad vertisements ask, "Hare you had your Iron today?" It is worth knowing that egg yolks are the richest source of this mineral so essential In making red blood corpuscles. At the same time, they provide other minerals needed in the construction of muscle, bone and blood. Nor are they found lacking in vitamins! In fact, one learning his A B C8 In the vitamin alphabet might well begin with a study of eggs since at least two or three of these elusive substances so vital (or proper -growth and development are present In the yolk and white. Though eggs are a valuable source of these food elements, they must be Introduced into the diet of young chil dren gradually because they are such a concentrated food. Otherwise they are likely to cause digestive upsets and come to be forever barred from the menu of the child who most needs them. A half a tea spoonful of egg yolk seems very little to give at first bat In many cases It la better to begin with even leas. Some doctors recom mend that the tines of a fork dipped In egg yolk should he whisked through the baby's orange juice or cereal gruel until the infant becomes adjusted to handling this concentrated food. In crsaalng the amount steadily, the child of a year and a half takes a whole egg yolk easily, and a whole egg occa sionally, while his fsther thinks noth ing of eating two eggs for breakfast along with a lot else and then finding egg in the muffins, salad dressing, cream pie, etc., throughout the other meals of the day. EASY TO SWEEP AROUND AND UNDER STOVE Qas Pip? Supports Hold Stove. (Prepared by the United 8t*tee Department of Afrioaltnre.) With an eye to eliminating work for herself an Ingenious farmer's wife in Virginia had the legs of her oil stove removed and set the stove on two sup ports made of gas pipe, fastened Into the wall. The difficulty of sweeping around and under the stove was completely removed. A fireproof . backing was put on the wall an<* the stove Itself set sufficiently far out to avoid all risk of fire. The lecture was taken by the United States Department of Agriculture. -AROUND THE HOUSE Fresh milk 1b Indispensable in a child's diet ? ? ?

It has been definitely proved that hens which appear healthy may carry In their organs of reproduction the germ which causes this disease and which manifests Itself In the young chicks within two or three days after hatching. Healthy chicks in the same incubators or brooders may be come Infected by contact, or by eating food or drinking from vessels that have become contaminated with droppings of these sick chicks. White diarrhea usually develops quickly, causing a heavy loss In chicks that are a few days to a week or more of age. The chicks huddle together, appear sleepy or stupid, and have no appetite. The droppings are white in cofor and this causes a condition called "pasted up behind." The chicks die within a few hours or days after the disease is noticed. All sick chicks should be killed and, along with all litter, refuse, and feed that Is found In the brooder house, burned. All utensils .used In and about the brooder house and the house Itself, should be thoroughly cleaned, scalded with boiling water, and disin fected. Only healthy chicks should be put In the disinfected brooder house. It 1s best If possible to move them to entirely new quarters. No satisfactory medical treatment for Infected chicks has been found. The disease may be prevented by hatching eggs from disease-free flocks. Certain drugs used in the drinking water aid in preventing the spread of disease in chicks. Bichloride of mer cury In the proportion of 20 grams to every gallon of water Is recommended. Sour milk or buttermilk should form a good part of the ration. To save a flock when the Infection has once started requires constant care and un tiring efforts. Direct Sunshine Is Fine Food for Young Chicks Feed your chicks sunshine If you want them to grow rapidly and strong. Scientists say that leg-weakness In chicks reared ~ Ihdoors Is caused, not by the wrong feed, but by the lack of direct sunshine which enables them to use their /ood In building a good, strong skeleton. And by direct sun shine they mean sunshine that has not lost most of Its effect ^y being sifted through glass or cloth. Leg-weakness is at the seat of many chick troubles, preventing sufficient exercise and mak ing It difficult for the chicks to secure their feed. It is therefore important that the chicks be allowed outdoors on the sunny days as early as possible. A little while each day Is better than not at all. A small yard can be pro vided so as to simplify getting them back into the house when desired. It because of cold weather, the chicks cannot be outdoors, the windows should be opened at the bottom so as to allow the entrance of the sun's rays without interference. Green stuff soch as clover sods that have been grown in the sunshine, yolks of egg laid by hens that have been on range, and crude cod liver oil, fed at about 1 to 2 per cent of the ration, will help to make up for the lack of sunshine, but most poultry keepers will prefer to use sunshine whenever possible. ? Cora Cake, Extension Poul try Specialist, University of Minne sota. Seed Poultry Yards for Prevention of Diseases Success with chicks depends large ly upon the condition of their runs. The most effective prevention and con trol of diseases and parasites trans mitted through the soil, is to provide a heavy growth of vegetation which will clean up the soli. This applies particularly to coccidiosls, intestinal worms, and tuberculosis. Alsike, blue grass, and timothy or vetch and rye are very satisfactory seed mixtures for brooder runs and poultry yards. A generous application of lime will aid !n the growth of vege tation and cleansing the soli. Seeding the yards In this way not oniy over comes the disease contamination of the soil, but provides an abundance of green feed In the yards which is so essential for the chicks in the spring." The brooder houses should be moved so the ground occupied by chicks this year can be seeded now. They should be placed on new ground each spring and the following year they may be returned to the ground on which they now stand. Free Range for Poults Poults . should not be allowed free range until they are about six weeks of age, after which time there is little danger from ordinary disease. Be fore that time they should be In closed In a pen about 18 Inches high. They will need special care during storms and should not be allowed to go through the grass while the dew Is heavy. Both hens and poults should be examined frequently for lice, and If they are found they should be dusted twice a week. Hens Properly Developed Profitable hens are the ones that are developed properly during the first six months of their life. There la no economy In trying to save on feed when the birds are growing. Give them all they will eat and give them healthy conditions of range and hous ing. If this la done, It will be found that the pullets will start laying at an earlier age, and will lay more when eggs are high than will their Bisters that are allowed te shift for t hem selves. ik'i"-1 Y s vk" V5- % *:*y ' i MP.waukeeWill badlym^ *gjp I?* dO 8r,j ing. 1 v.ould il P^ifi TO Lvdia? i was Burely the right tbj 1 took four bottles then aiA of the year 1 took tfcrt?. \\ treated by a doctor but he & iron tonic and that did notl seemed that the tonic did toi^j what the Vegetable Corner! gave me the strength ar.4n23 needed and 1 have gamed This year before 1 started tot I got four bottlesof theVe^jl pound and am taking it r,?Q tell til my friends abcnititia?9 good it does me.
