LADY PURDUE LAYS 251 EGGS

Single Comb White Leghorn Pullet Also Has Productive Offspring.

Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 17. —A Single Comb White Leghorn pullet, No. 3013, better known as Lady Purdue on the poultry farm at Purdue university here, laid 251 eggs in her first laying year, which ended Dec. 1. Lady Purdue, however, is not a record breaker as far as her own egg production is concerned. It is her breeding and the production of her offspring that has attracted attention. Lady Purdue is the offspring of a 200-egg hen and a male, No. 1661, who is out of the famous Miss Purdue. Miss Purdue laid 229 and 214 eggs in two years. Lady Purdue has one-fourth of the blood of Miss Purdue. Last spring she was mated back to her sire, half of whose blood came from Miss Purdue. Seven chicks were th^- result of this mating. Five began laving in October and by Dec. 13 of this year ha<j averaged 38 eggs a pullet. One began laying after Nov. 1, and by Dec. 13 had layed 27 eggs. They are all one-half blood from Lady Purdue, and three-eights blood from Miss Purdue.

URGES EVERYONE TO QUICKLY GET ON WATER WAGON

Dmik Glass of Hot Water Before Breakfast to Wash Out Pdisoms. To see the tinge of healthy bloom in your face, to see your skin get clearer and cleare'r, to wake up without a headache, backache, coated tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to feel your best, day in and day out, just try inside-bathing every morning for one week. Before breakfast each day, drink a glass of real hot water with a .teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it as a harmless means of washing from the stomach, livet, kidneys and bowels the previous day’s indigestible waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases and acidity and gives one -a splendid appetite for breakfast. A quatrer pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water freshens, cleanses and sweetens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the glood and internal organs. Those who are subject to constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid, are assured that one week of inside bathing will have them both looking and feeling better in every way.

Dangerous For Boys to Hitch Sleds to Autotomobliles.

The Monon News tells of an unfortunate accident that befell Master Artie Ferguson, six years old, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Ferguson, early in the week at that place. Seeing that A. Christley was about to start his car the little fellow was hitching his sled to the rear axle when the driver, being unaware of the presence of the lad, backed the car and Artie was caught by one of the rear wheels. His leg was broken in two places above the knee. C. C. Middlestadt happened to be standing near and rescued the boy before he was further injured. He seems to be unfortunate as regards accidents. Last summer while the family were camping on the river he fell out of a tree and his life hung in the balance for several weeks.

Collection Taken For Mrs. Z. T. Campbell.

L. A. Harmon today circulated a paper and secured over S4O aid for Mrs. Z. T. Campbell, who sustained a broken hip as a result of a fall. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell run a rooming and boarding house in the building just west of the jail and Mrs. Campbell has done most of her own work and the accident will incapacitate her for a long time. Mr. Campbell is unable to do any hard work and the aid their friends have given will prove most timely and it is believed that a girl can be employed to continue their boarding house business.

GRANDMA.

Grandma sat at evening • Of a closing winter day, From work her hands were resting Her knitting was laid away. Since mom her bright steel needles Had helped fashion and complete A pair of small bright stockings For a pair of baby feet.

And now as the shadow's deepened mantling from eat to west, She sat in her favorite rocker Enjoying her well-earned rest. She gazed at the burning embers And the firelight’s ruddy glow, While the many flickering shadows Went dancing to and fro.

They danced on wall and ceiling And over her high backed chair, Pausing with shadowy -mgers To caress her soft white hair. They kissed her forehead gently With lips of shimmering light As with outstretched hands at parting They waved her a silent goodnight.

Then off they lightly bounded An airy dancing feet To resume their merry waltzing Leaving Grandma fast asleep. ♦ ♦ ♦ * * * How beautiful the lesson The shadows so silently teach Give to the aged the tenderest care As the evening of life they reach. —Elizabeth Livingston Pancoast. Dec. 6, 1915.

Rensselaer Defeated Wheatfield In Uninteresting Game.

Rensselaier won their opening game of the season at the high school gymnasium last night when they defeated the Wheatfield five 18 to 9.' Wheatfield had the superior weight, but their lack of teamwork was noticeable. The visitors took an early lead, which they maintained almost throughout the entire first half. The half closed with the locals leading 8 to 7, a lead which they never relinquished. The game was slow and uninteresting throughout. A team made up of high school alumni will play the school team on Wednesday evening of next week.

Monon Boitze “Hister” Threw Through Postoffice Glass Door.

When Postmaster Bennett, of Monon, came down to the office Thursday morning he found a shattered glass in the office door and with the pieces of glass that littered the floor were also the remnants of a quart whiskey bottle, so that it was not a difficult matter to deduce that some drunken fellow, probably a protest agaii&t the town going dry recently, had hurled the bottle through the glass.
