M.0. “UNDEKEATING” I think I have written enough words about overeating to fill a book —a large one. The great American sin is overeating. Maybe it is the depression, but a late incident leads me to write this letter about not eating enough. Last evening an old-time ^dy acquaintance ate supper with us, and ‘ : a good time was had by all.” ^ This lady friend of our familyjks fNfeo grown daughters, and is her own house-keeper. She is visitiriffnere for "nerves.” She is a bundle of live wires—has lost weight, until her limbs are like casting-rods. She has “dieted,” yes indeed! She has not left her digestive tract enough nerves to do their work. In July, 1916. Dr. W. J. Cook, fishing in the Nipigon River, in On tario, Canada, caught a fourteen and a half pound brook trout. That is a record. Last year Zane Grey fishing off the coast of California with rod and reel, landed a striped marlin weigh ing 1040 pounds. Frank G.

Information from which the paragraphs are prepared is from local papers, usually of towns mentioned, and may be con sidered generally correct. Georgetown — H.

Then her nerves were going “hay-wire” about her«mg thos3 darlings in school. There was no disease preying on her, not at all,—she was creating her own troubles. A season of com mon sense practice is all she needs. How many of my good mothers of daughters are like her—starving themselves into neurotics?

In a day or two his mother suggested: “Jimmy, how would you like to go to see your little cousin?” “Has Aunt Dot got another baby?” he inquired. “No.” said mother, “it’s the same one. Don't you >vant to go to see it?” “Aw, no, I guess not,” placidly re plied Jimmy, “I’ve seen that one.” PUTS ON AIRS modern invention. Baseball originated at Coopcrs- town, New York, in 1839.

In the same year the first game to which admission was charged was played by teams representing New York and Brooklyn. w rA v u il»- / \ The University of Minnesota football team scored a total of 775 points during the season of 1904. Knute Rockne coached at the University of Notre Dame from 1918 to 1930, inclusive. During those seasons Notre Dame scored 2847 points while opponents scored 625.

It was only a little over 300 years ago, in 1608, that Johannes Lippershey of Middleburg made the first telescope, by putting two spectacle lenses into the ends of a tube; and it was some years i after when Anthony van Leeuwen hoek, a merchant’s clerk in Am sterdam, made the first practical microscope with which objects in visible to the naked eye could be seen. Leeuwenhoek was bom iust 300 years ago, on October 24, 1632, and lived to be 91 years old. He gave workable H. H. Seely, of Amherst, Mass., in 1875, chinned himself with two hands 65 times. X MAKE THE PULLETS LAY MORE EGGS WITH WET MASH whei he started up the machinery. New gears were needed at once. My* friend got out one issue of his pa-, per on a press in a neighboring town, but meantime telephoned to the press builders a thousand miles away. They sent replacement parts and a repair man by plane, and the damage was mended in less than 24 hours after the acci dent. Air passenger traffic all over the world has more than doubled in the past year. Why talk about “depression” when people are willing to spend more money than ever before for flying? GOLD . . . new adventure— Gold is worth more today than it has been in forty years. That is, an ounce of gold, worth $20 in U. S. money, will buy more food, clothing and every other kind of commodity than ever before in the memory of most of us. It is natural, therefore, that there should be more people prospecting for gold now than at any time since the great Klondike rush of 1897, while the old gold deposits are being worked more intensively than ever. Canadian gold mines produced 34 million dollars of gold in the first nine months of this year. In South Africa a great extension of the famous gold-bearing reef of the Witwaters Rand has been discov ered. The most amazing gold opera tion, however, is in the mountains of the island of New Guinea, just north of Australia, where gold is being mined a mile above sea-level, from deposits which can only be reached by airplane. Gold ore is brought down by plane, and all the machinery for modem mining op erations has been flown up into this inaccessible nountair •'•ountry. There is still adventT w't.h oos- sib 1 * rrofit at the end, for the ad venturous. EYES . . .

H. Good ing, extension poultryman, who be lieves that increasing the pullets to 50 per cent production at this time is a vital factor in increasing pro fits. Properly housed pullets have had time, he thinks, to adjust themselves to new conditions so they should be ready to produce high-priced fall and winter eggs. It is generally conceded that feeding a wet mash has a tendency to increase feed consumption and stimulate egg production. Mr. Gooding advises that the wet mash be mixed with skimmilk if it is available. Instead of a sloppy mixture, he suggests just enough liquid to make the mash crumbly and that it be fed To the birds at noon in troughs, though some pcul- trymen feed it about 4 p. m. and get good results. Other poultrymen are keeping grain before the birds and feeding a wet mash just be fore the birds go to roost. It is best to mix only enough for one feeding at a time, say three to four pounds per hundred birds, which they will clean up in 10 to 15 minutes. Plenty of grain in addition to the regular laying mash is suggested for the pullets. Camden-Kershaw County Fair held.

Does your work keep you indoors and away from people? Are you ‘‘blue” or lonesome? The cure is easy. Just reach for a telephone. For no matter how far away you are—whether it’s a few hundred feet or a few hundred miles—you can always visit by telephone. When you are worried or despondent, a telephone call may be worth ten times its cost in cheering you up— and keeping you healthy. Compared with its value, a telephone costs very, very little.
