A Three Days’ Cough
Is Your Danger Signal
No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with anything less than Creomul-
sion, which goes right to the seat
of the trouble to aid nature to
soothe and heal the inflamed mem-
branes as the germ-laden phlegm
is loosened and expelled.
Even if other remedies have
failed, don’t be discouraged, your
druggist is authorized to guarantee
Creomulsion and to refund your
money if you are not satisfied with
results from the very first bottle.

A GOOD LAXATIVE
By EDITH M. BARBER
^T'HE question of marketing for
food is one of the most impor-
tant housekeeping problems con-
fronting the busy mother. Often the
demands of her young children are
such that she is not able to make
a daily trip to *the grocery and
butcher shop. “Personal market-
ing,” she has heard, will cut bills
in half. But in her busy day she
can barely find time to give her
orSer telephone.
The woman who must do her daily
buying by telephone is limited in
her choice of grocer, as many of
the chain stores do not give tele-
phone service. This, with the ab-
sence of delivery service and credit,
are some of the reasons why prod-
ucts can be priced lower in such
stores than in independent stores.
She must Necessarily choose a re-
liable grocer if she is to have
even fairly good service with only
telephone connections. The wise
housekeeper makes an effort to mar-
ket in person often enough to be
known to the grocer and to show
that she knows good quality and
will accept no other. If the grocer
grows careless in filling her order
a few returns will usually be enough
to stop this,
In telephone marketing it is a good
idea for the housekeeper to deal
with the same clerk regularly so
that there will be someone responsi-
ble for putting up the order. If her
staple orders are put in on other
days than Saturdays, she will also
get better results.
The housekeeper must be sure
that she is getting honest weight. A
pair of scales should be in every
kitchen and a check-up made oc-
casionally of anything bought in
bulk. This weight question in c,om-
parison to value is more subtle now
that so many food materials are
put up in packages. Many women
take for granted that these are cus-
tomarily pound or half-pound units.
Often they are six, ten, twelve, or
fourteen ounces. Different brands
of the same foodstuff should be
compared, with weight, as well as
price and quality considered. By
law every package is compelled to
have printed on it the weight of the
contents. But can you tell, without
looking, how many ounces of cereal
or raisins or baking powder are
in the packages of the brand you
usually use? Just try and see if you
rate one hundred per cent! Then
see whether you' know how many
ounces are in the loaf of bread you
usually buy.
This brings us to the question of
package goods, which are in most
cases higher in price than bulk
goods. Often the difference is worth
while, as many foods, if exposed
to the air, absorb flavor from other
foods, gather dust and possibly
germs from the air. Wares are more
attractive, more conveniently pre-
sented, more sanitary, and this, of
course, has added to the cost. Much
of it we should be willing to pay.

Talking to Advantage of Others
and Joy to Ourselves in 1937
Owners of Birds Urged to
Keep Only Good Stock.
By Roy S. Dearstyne, Jlead of JPoultry
Department,
College
ea--_„„_._______ _____
t, North Carolina State
—WNU Service.
The high price of feedstuffs is
leading to a critical situation in the
poultry industry. Small flock owners
are especially hard hit.
But regardless of price, the poul-
tryman cannot compromise with
balanced feeding if he hopes to
maintain the quality of his flock.
Very cheap mashes are usually
low in digestibility and thus are
costly in the long run.
If you have inferior birds in your
flock cull them out and spend your
money only to feed the really good
birds. If you cannot afford to feed
all your birds well, keep only those
you can afford to feed.
If there has been a time during
the past ten years when poultry-
men had to cull very carefully,
now is that time.
To meet high feed prices, the aver-
age production per bird in the flock
must be increased, and this can be
done by keeping only the highest
producers.
The lesson of this year should be
sufficient to prove to all poultry-
men that a better breeding program
for the future is imperative. If more
attention had been paid to breeding
in the past poltrymen would no1
be so bothered by high prices now.
And right now is the time to start
breeding for the future. When mat-
ing the breeding birds, place the
males in the pens in time to adapt
themselves to new conditions be-
fore eggs are saved for hatching.
Be sure that only vigorous,
healthy, standard males of good type
are placed in the breeding pens.
There should be one male for every
14 to 16 females of the American
breeds.
The Household
By LYDIA LE BARON WALKER
T> RINGING a home up to date in
style of decorations can be ac-
complished in two widely divergent
ways. One is to select new pieces
of furniture so discriminatingly that
they will fit in With the things al-
ready possessed and each appear
at home with the other. Some fur-
niture already owned will probably
have to be discarded, or at least
stored, should it be too good actually
to discard.
The Victorian furniture was such
a startling change from the classic
old-time furniture in vogue when
the Victorian came in, that entire
household furnishings apparently
given up in favor of the incoming
style. Had it not been for the spa-
cious attics, and marvelous old sta-
bles and barns, the classic pieces
would not have remained intact. We
would have been the losers, for
a renaissance of the former vogues
brought again into style the very
pieces discarded, and into the dis-
card went many Victorian furnish-
ings which today are being brought
to the fore again. So do smart styles
rotate!
Styles and Standards.
Such wholesale changes were, and
continue t(5 be, expensive. Few per-
sons can j|^ep homes eauicDed in
what are considered smart furnish-
ings by substituting a great deal
of new furniture for old. After all
since there is nothing new under
the sun, smartness is a matter of
what is in the heyday of popular
fancy at the moment. But there
are choice pieces of furniture, etc.,
that are always in style, because
always of exquisite lines and grace-
ful contours.
Before going further into this side
of the question, let us consider oth-
er ways of stressing smartness in
interior decorations, one of which
is by changing perishable things
from the old to the new style.
Another way is to get smart ac-
cessories, carefully selected to fit
in with the furniture one has.
Draperies.
Draperies and curtains do much to
alter the appearance of a room.
These have to be renewed periodi-
cally in any event. So let them be in
smart style, not too bizarre, to
avoid clashing with other furnish-
ings.
Accessories, such as lamps, can
be in smart-style, also, occasional
tables, ornaments, afternoon tea and
after dinner coffee sets, glassware
—crystal clear or colored to fit the
moment—and picture frames, as
styles change decidedly in these.
Such pieces of furniture as foot rests
can be in evidence, when smartly
in style, or be stowed away when
not, except when comfort makes
them too sorely wanted to put away
entirely.

Control of Coccidiosis
With Sulphur Treatment
Practical studies looking to con-
trol of coccidiosis, dread disease
of chickens, with use of a sulphur
treatment have produced results
that augur well for the country’s
poultry farmers, according to re-
cent surveys by the agricultural re-
search advisory bureau.
Pointing to the experiments suc-
cessfully conducted by Dr. C. A.
Herrick and C. E. Holmes, of the
University of Wisconsin, the bureau
declares that regular feeding of a
mash mixed with sulphur gives evi-
dence of providing a method of con-
trol for this scourge of the poultry
raisers. During these tests it was
found that different degrees of con-
trol could be obtained by varying
the amount of sulphur fed. In the
broiler section of the East where
coccidiosis is widely prevalent a
modification of the method used by
Herrick and Holmes has been found
effective.
B. F. Jarvis, poultry technician
working independently in Maryland
and Delaware, has found that 10
per cent of sulphur added to grow-
ing mash and fed a full day each
week is effective in controlling coc-
cidiosis in broiler flocks confined to
houses. Other experiments point
to the value of the daily feeding of
two or three per cent sulphur in
the mash as a method of control
T* ALKING is the recognized
medium of communication be-
tween persons who are together
or who, being absent, use a tele-
phone. It is unfortunate having
such a marvelous medium at our
command that we so often fail to
put it to the use worthy of its
value It is possible to send a
glow of happiness through the lis-
tener when we speak merited
words of appreciation. It is pos-
sible to solace those in sorrow by
words of comfort spoken from the
heart. It is possible to make joy
doubly gladsome by expressing
our happiness in the good fortune
of others. Through talking to our
children we can spur them on to
dc fine things, or encourage them
in worthy resolves. In short the
good we can do by talking in
the right spirit is inestimable.
Ey talking in the right way we
bring good to others and joy to
ourselves.
It is when we swerve from the
best use of the spoken word that
we drag it down and harm both
ourselves and our hearers. There
is an expression “too much talk”
which rin* significant of this very
thing. The words speak for them-
selves, declaring that it would be
advisable to cease saying the
things we are. It is never said
of good words. Of them we could
say: Let us have more talk of the
same sort, it is needed.
Have you ever considered how
much is said when derogatory talk
is going on? Words are spoken
and reiterated over and over
again, as if by repetition the un-
pleasant things would be in-
creased. Unfortunately this is
what happens. Unkind or unfriend-
ly conversation, by some perverse
twist of human nature, is sure
to be repeated, and usually with
embellishments. Either the one
who repeats it cannot believe her
ears, and wonders if anyone else
knows about the unfortunate cir-
cumstances, or else she finds a
strange pleasure in repeating
slander. It may be the derogatory
words are against someone she
dislikes. It may be they are
about a total stranger. If the talk
was commendatory repeating it
would foster fine things. Good
things should be given frequent
repetition.
We all could add so much to the
pleasure and joy of living during
the new year 1937, if we would set
a _ watch on our talk, ..nd by a
wishful determination use this
great means at our command to
help others. It is one of the things
that costs nothing and yet which
can do such an endless amount of
good. It is a way open to all
alike.

Gizzardless Chickens
Chicken specialists in the Depart-
ment of Agriculture seem to have
settled the question as to just how
useful a chicken gizzard is, at least
to their own satisfaction. They op-
erated on a number of chickens,
removed their gizzards, and sewed
them up again. Put through feed-
ing tests with normal birds the giz-
zardless chickens have done well
on finely ground feeds, but failed
to digest coarse feeds efficiently. A
hen operated on in 1934 is still lay-
ing eggs and a gizzardless rooster
has lived happily since 1933. This
is interesting but of no great prac-
tical importance. To our mind it
would be much better to eliminate
the vocal cords from a few old
roosters we know.—Country Home

Substitute for Green Feed
A good grade of cod liver oil
that has been tested for potency and
vitamin content may be substituted
in part for green feed, says a North
Carolina State college poultry ex-
pert. One pound or one pint should
be added to each 100 pounds of
mash when the substitution is made
or it may be fed on the grain in-
stead of mixing with the mash when
more convenient. Where possible,
some cured alfalfa hay or lespe-
deza should be provided.
Imported Eggs Unsafe
Millions of pounds of liquid eggs
are shipped into the United States
every year from China, where poul-
try production is of nondescript
character, and these are used main-
ly by bakeries and candy manufac-
turers—these imports despite the
need of this domestic market for
the domestic . poultrymen. Now
comes word that these imported
eggs are a menace to health, even
if cooked; cooking does not destroy
all disease-producing organisms.
