KINDLY ACTS ;e .-.re .i a nana tr.nr mere nrr no really bad people in the wt1'. We mean wholly bad, so no humane attributes show in their make-up. Since September 17 last our daugh ter has been confined to her bed with a throat affection. At one time wi' about gave her up for lost. During "her iliac, s the character of neighbors, friends and total strangers has been shown and in a manner which stamps them as being all tc the good. Many a delicate tid-bit has found it; way to her sick btd. many a tasty piece of cake, glasses of jelly, and many beautiful . flowers have been brought to her. Such little acts of kindness shows the whole world is akin and also that thought is extended to the afflicted and measurers taken to alleviate pain and lone omeness and have had the effect of encouraging her to ward recovery. We heartily thank all those who have ministered to Clayre in her hours of pain and misery. , REGULATION INSTEAD OF TAXATION It may not be a popular statement to make, but it is an economic in justice to impose general ta.xa; for wholesale elimination of railroad grade crossings. If there be any danger in driving across most rail road track, the danger is in the driver or in the absence of suitable warning signals and not in the cross ing. Many of the vrst grade cross ing accidents occur where the driver has an unobitructed view of an ap proaching train. Instead of slowing down or stopping to let a train-go by, too many drivers ctep on the gas and try to beat the train across. The real problem to be dealt with is careless anving. len times as many accidents occurr on the high ways as at railroad crossings. Ex pensive grade changes at crossings will not prevent these. Men, women and 'children are daily run down and ' injured on streets and highways. Carele s drivers cause head-on crashes, go through fencs, skid 0ff the road, go down embankments, maiming, crippling, killing and fill the morgues and hospitals wtth vic tims of their reckle: sness. Wholesale grade crossing changes which would take millions, in tax funds to make any impression, would in no way eliminate or pre vent tlic terrific lo s of life and damage done to property, caused by the pure carelessness and cussedness which i.; mbited by many auccmo l.i'i (Hmji's. i ' nl of esr-e? oliniiisatii;n of a few rrade erodings to do the -impossible, establish 'tand ard qualifications for licenses, standard prsrtirfs in driving, full flops f'.r midii highways and rai!-To.-.d cruitohigs and justified penalties or imprisonment and loa: of license in all cases of flagrant violators and uniform police prac tices. This would begin to get at the real problem. The Manufac turer.

If buttermilk and skim milk are produced on the farm, no better use can bt made of them than feeding them to the poultry flock. 1 r Late winter or early spring has been found the "best time for plant ing gooseberries. - Early planting will determine whether or not the plant will make a good growth dur ing the summer. Late planting does not give the plants time for develop ing the root system, thus retarding the growth. Special care with Orei'n sheep flock: is advisable when sudden cold snaps occur, say.:, the experiment sta tion, as a break or weak spot in the flecc will resut if the vitality of the animal is interrupted by iiv uf ficient. feed or excessive cold. A little extra care eiven promptly when cold weather comes will pay good dends. divi- HOME POINNTERS (From School of Horn Economics) The whitish stain left on a mahog any table by hot water or a very hot dish may be removed by rubbing in oil and afterward pouring a little alcohol on the spot and rubbing it dry with a cloth. Silk ftockings are best washed in water which is only warm, not hot. A soap solution is better for them than rubbing the soap on. It is wise to squeeze them out; not wring them. A woman's clothing allowance will go farther if ihe adopts a color scheme limited to those colors which are becoming and which harmonize with the rest of her clothes. If the clothes basket is lined with oil cldth the clothes will not become stained. A simple and effective method of stretching curtains when launder ing them is to measure the curtains before wetting them and then mark off the length on the clothes lines. When laundered, double the curtain' stretch the edges to fit the Bpace and fasten securely to the line. A tablespoon of turpentine boiled with white clothes will aid in the whitening process. Kerosene will soften boots and shoes that have been hardened by water and render them pliable.
