If you're troubled with the Gout
Just spend two-bits for Saur Kraut
Then if you think you’re feeling worse
Spend two-bits for Weiner Werse
Or if your heart is all a quiver
Take home a couple pounds of Liver
Then if you still feel kind of Bum
Then we might prescribe a nice Beef Tongue
But if you're troubled with sharp pains
Try Meadowbrook Eggs & Scrambles Brains
If this don’t make the world look brighter
Just tell your troubles to the writer
And anything he might suggest
Is guaranteed to be the best.

GRANDMOTHER AT 66
STILL IN FRONT RANK
OF WOMEN GOLFERS
(By AB8oeiat«d PreBBl
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Apr. 27.—A
silver-haired grandmother who quali
fied for the first women’s national
golf championship held in the Uni
ted States in 1895 still must be reck
oned among the first 32 women golf
ers of this country.
Mrs. Caleb F. Fox of the Hunting
don Valley Country Club holds no
national title, nor has she ever held
one, but her consistently steady play
over a span of 30 years is without a
parallel in golf or, perhaps, in any
other sport. In that time Mrs. Fox
has won sectional and local cham
pionships many times, and is still
capable of winning them.
It was at the Meadow Brook Club,
Reading, Mass., in 1895 that Mrs.
Fox first qualified for the national
championship. That was a compar
atively easy achievement then for
there were only 100 or 200 women
golfers in the country. In subse
quent years, however, when the num
ber of players increased to thous
ands, Mrs. Fox continued to qualify.
Since 1895 she has failed only four
times, in 1911-13, ’23 and ’21, to gain
admission to the select 32. In 1923
she suffered an injury just before
the championship.
Mrs. Fox has been national final
ist once and semi-finalist twice. She
penetrated to the final round at the
Philadelphia Country Club in 1899,
losing to Miss Rufth Underhill, 2 and
1, after a spirited struggle. She
j reached the penultimate round in
I 1908 and 1909.
! Mrs. Fox has won the Philadelphia
championship five‘-times, 1902, 1908,
1910, 1911 and 1917. Two years ago
! in a tournament 'that attracted the
j country’s leading stars to Belleair
i Heights, Fla., where Mrs. Fox spends
her winters, she astounded the golf
ing world by defeating Miss Glenna
Collett, who was then the seeming
ly invincible national champion. Miss
Collett, young and strong, was at the
pinnacle of her ability and fame.
Mrs. Fox wTas jyst a veteran, one
who had qualified for the national
championship before her youthful op
ponent was born, yet she triumphed
fairly and incontrovertibly.
Although 66 years of age, Mrs. Fox
does not look it. She is rather statu
esque and robust. Her hair is gleam
ing white and no tournament of note
is complete without her. She is ex
tremely popular and her counsel is
eagerly sought by younger players.

SURVEY SHOWS MUCH
PUREBRED LIVESTOCK
MARKETED FOR MEAT
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 27.—
Much of the purebred livestock of the
country is finding its way to the din
ner table, instead of being kept on
farms for breeding purposes only,
the bureau of animal industry has
found in a survey which reached
653 farmers in 45 states. Answers
to questionnaires sent out by the bu
reau developed also that the dairy
industry is drawing many purebred
cattle.
Analysis of the supplies, the bu
reau announced today, has shown that
about 62 per cent of purebred live
stock is marketed directly for meat
purposes, swine being slaughtered at
the rate of 75.1 per cent; sheep 62.6
per cent, and cattle 41.8 per cent.
The consensus of opinion of the
farmers was that purebred meat ani
mals cost slightly less than scrubs
to raise to maturity, while dairy
cattle cost slightly more. Purebred
animals were declared much more
profitable to raise than scrubs, and
somewhat more so than graded
stock, the degree depending on the
proportion of pure blood possessed
by the grades.
About 96 per cent of the farmers
who had given the use of purbred
sires a trial were found to adhere
to the general principle of using
them for all classes of stock. Im
provement of the quality of purebred
livestock by rigid culling and by sell
ing only worthy animals for breed
ing purposes was urged by a num
ber of farmers.
The bureau learned that only one
half of the purebred animals in the
country eligible to registration are
actually registered. Principal rea
sons given for not registering ani
mals were intention to sell for
slauhter, poor individuality, little de
mand for registration papers when
stock is sold, and carelessness in at
tending to registration.
The questionnaires produced a vir
tually unanimous opinion that pure
bred livestock was more profitable
than grade or scrub animals, with
well-bred grades a close second. A
Nebraska stockman declared he had
found that purelbreds “are of more
uniform type, feed out better and
more quickly and therefore put on
more gain with the same or less feed
and in less time.” Others told of
high prices, ready sale on slow mar- j
ket days, ability to fatten on grass |
with a minimum of grain feed and
finishing for profitable early mar
kets.
The importance of color as a cer
tification that cattle are of the meat
breeds was emphasized by a west
ern stockman.
“Whitefaee, red, roan, and black
cattle,” he said, “always attract the
buyers, but a brindle, yellow,' or
black and white spotted steer, even
of good conformation, finds a less
ready sale. The buyers know from
experience that such stock will not
dress out so well.”
Cattle Turn Gladly
to Sunflower Silage
EDMONTON, Alta., Apr. 27.—Des
pised as a worthless weed a few
years ago, sunflowers have develop
ed into an important silage crop in
western Canada, according to a bul
letin of the department of agricul
ture.
Alberta produced a sunflower crop
of nearly 200,000 tons last year, the
largest output yet recorded. Two
dollars a ton was the estimated cost
of all production. Considering the
high food value of the crop, the bul
letin declared it to be the cheapest
silage or fodder crop ever raised.
Development of the crop is due to
the expansion of the dairy industry,
said the bulletin. The gospel of the
sunflower was first preached by ex
perts. Many farmers sowed small
fields to the plant. The experiment
was successful. From 20 to 25 tons
an acre can be expected from sun
flowers and, as they are succulent,
stock find them palatable, the bulle
tin asserted.
Samuel Childs, head of the famous
chain of restaurants bearing his
name, died recently in New York.

TO ALL COMRADES OF THE
SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
A campaign is on to unite all
Spanish American War veterans as
members-at-large, where there is no
organization of the United Spanish
American War Veterans. There are
no camps duly organized in Alaska
as there are not. enough veterans in
any one place to form an organiza
tion. Hence all veterans of the
Spanish War are requested to become
members-at-large, thus becoming as
sociated with the order and receiv
ing the benefits of the order and in
a position to help other comrades to
those benefits. The organization is
doing good work for all veterans and
it behooves all veterans who are not
affiliated with the order to do so as
soon as possible and help with this
work. Let’s get together and sbov
our strength in Alaska and have a
large member.ship-at-large to help the
National organization. The under
signed will be glad to furnish all in
formation and blanks.
