W. W.’s, the radicals and the Bolshevists of religion,” he said. “Men have the right to change the laws of plan by legislative enactment, but they nave no right to tamper with the laws of God. “When you take the supernatural out of religion you have nothing more than a system of teaching left and if this be done, Christianity will degen erate to the lqvel of Buddhism and Mohammedism. “They deny the Virgin Birth of Christ and would have him the ille gitimate offspring of a Jewish harlot.

D. 5, Winfield, Kans., says: “I began to suffer some months ago with womanly troubles, and 1 was afraid i was going to get in bed. Each month 1 suffered with my head, back and sides—a weak, aching, nervous feeling. 1 began to try medicines as I knew 1 was.getting worse. I did not seem to find the right remedy until someone told me oi The Woman's Tonic I used two bottles before 1 could see any great change', but after that it was remarkable how much better 1 got. 1 am now well and strong, i can recom mend Cardui, for it certainly benefited me.” if you have been experiment ing on yourself with all kinds of different remedies, better get back to good, old, reliable Cardui, the medicine tor women, about which you have always heard, which ha3helped many thousands of others, and which should help you, too.

'f interest to local pouTtrymen: “After January 1 every egg offered for sale in the state of Connecticut, bantam, I.cghorn or Plymouth Hock] brown or white, plain or speckled, mu -t have stamped upon its surface the exact date of its advent into this hungry world. This is a rule adopted by the state board of agriculture for j purpose* which a moment's reflation makes ahvious. No longer need the I housewife contemplating an omelet hold each egg to the light, shake il between thumb and finger or drop it i fito a bowl of water. She need only look at the date and separate tbe egg '.hat i., contemporaneous from that which has merely a historical value. 'i hat ihis is n step forward t o one w’u has ever eaten scrambled eggs m a country restaurant will deny, i hist to ay, it is a step forward according to occidental notions. In China, where so much is topsy-turvy, the value of an .egg is thought to ap preciate with age, and dried eggs as much us a century old are considered great delicacies. These are buried and when dug up are said to have n sur prisingly mild flavor. But the prac tice wouldn’t do in America least of all in Connecticut. The Connecticut regulation throws | light on up to date farming as com pared with that of a few decades ago. The egg and poultry business, like the milk business, tu being more and moro closely organised and regulated. JThe haphazard methods of the old lay would not be profitable, even though they wore tolerated, or toler ate d even though thev were profita ble. And the egg business has indef inite possibilities of expansion, organ ization and development. At present the average American eats 17 or 18 dozen eggs a yeur, or about two thirds of nir egg a day. He could, and should, eat more if they were abun dant an<^ cheap enough.” Football' heroes arc usually men but Miss Isabel Starback has been employed as cataloger for Wake For est college.
