There may be less discomfort from kitchen fires, to be sure, but the electric flat iron has many other advantages than saving heat. They save drudgery. They save footsteps between ironing board and stove. They never need changing.

POULTRY MEN PLEASED. Hcmut-kahlo Patent Cackler That Will Greatly Increase the Egg Output Editor Times: Now thnt eggs arc as hlgn as beet when the cow jumped over tho moon, wo lire nil more or less interested In tho poultry business. Most of us nro nwnro that any solf-respectlng hen, when properly provided with nn nssortmunt of approved brenk fast foods, performs her fuiictloiiB with gront regularity during tho dny, but how to avoid hor disposition to leaf during tho night Iiub over been u problem confronting poultrymon. 1 nm now pleased to record the fact that n genius residing In Staf fer's addition lino overcome this dif ficulty by tho usu of nn automatic cackler, which bids fair to at least quadruple tho present egg produc tion In this locality. 1 am Informed, by tho best authority thnt tho Inven tor has not yet perfected hla scliemo nor has ho received his patents and is therefore not inclined to talk freoly on tho subject. However, by persis tent effort tho wrltor hnB obtained Biilllclcnt Information to cnnblo him to form a fair Idea of tho now pana cea for tho high priced ogg and now hiiBtoiiB to enlighten tho world. Tho cackler Is an automatic ar rangement nfter tho plnnt Is onco Installed all need bo done 1b to wind It onco n weok pretty much as you do your kitchen clock and it docs tho rest. Precisely nt ten P. M. tho cackler does Its Ilrst stunt and regularly thereafter at Intervals of every two hours during tho night.

I A WantAdiWill Sell It for You Editor Times: Your editorial in a recent lssuo of Tho Times on tho danger of homo study, presenting tho vlows of an em inent English physician was timely nnd true. In many of our homes thoro is also tho onllstmont of tho parents to holp whon tho family gathers nt tho fireside for an eve ning of quiet rest after tho labors of tho day. As a parent In dnlly actlvo perfor mance of commonplaco duties to my children, I can heartily indorso it as well as tho plain, Intelligent dis cussion of it and tho pitiful facts it represents. This subjoct hns n "tra gic side" to those of us who nro passing through tho ordeal nnd ex periencing tho necessity of sacrificing not only our quiet ovonlngs nnd much of tho Sunday, but our family dovotlons and precious littlo heart to heart talks, as well as tho price less health of adolescent girls yea, and boys as well who should bo outsldo playing hard or In bod sleep ing soundly all of their tlmo out of school, instead of poring over books until they dream and cry over un solved problems half of tho night. (It would bo well if all parents would read tho pnpor presented bo fore tho last meeting of tho National Educational association by Dr. F. Park Lewis, in which ho says that wo nro "sacrificing tho eyes of our school children to a worship of tho printed page") Another distress ing phnso of this subject is that whon wo havo generously given our tlmo to assist the chlldron, somo of tho teachers complain Impatiently, and say, "Now, Mary, don't havo your folks holp you any moro; That old fashioned way is not used any moro and It Just confuses one. Oct your work nldnol" Well, considering how much hns been accomplished by thnt "old fashioned method," It might bo well for us to go back to it if only for the purpose of remov ing from tho minds of the children tlie hnrmful impression thnt tho par ents who gavo them life and appor tunlty to live nnd develop as part of this grand old world nro not bnck numbers, easily surpassed mentally by any up-to-date youngster who hns reached tho seventh grade In our public schools. Historians of the future may not record how the children of this ago oxcoll In book lore, hut they will cer tainly devote a page to the arrogance nnd ogo tho sad lack of reverence for ago and nuthorlty It has helped to produco In our American youth. When wo hnvo carefully guarded our children from the candy habit, tho theatre and moving picture show nnd trained them to rogulnrlly In eating, Bleeping, working nnd recron tlon, the school authorities cannot argue that children thtiB cared for nro suffering from the negligence ot pnrontB rnthor than too heavy work In tho schools.
