About the turn of the century— nobody remember the exact date —the community stared to build the church, each resident being re- quited to do part of the work. Everything moved smoothly un- til they got to the steeple. One faction wanted to put the steeple at one end of the church and the other faction wanted to put it at the other end. Fists flew and noses trickled blood. Officers from Conroe, nine miles away, dashed over in buck- boards and on horseback. Things were quiet when they got there.

THE FASTING DEAN It is little or none of our business what the very Rev. Israel Harding Noe, of Mem- phis, Tenn., eats, or whether the Episcopal cletgyman continues the absolute fast that he expects will attest spiritual perfection and immortality. The 4@year-old cleric lived on oranges and cagheve nuts in 1936, on-oranges alone in 1937, atid beginning January first, has water th times weekly. While he puts to his mouth to relieve the dry- ness of his throat, it’ is said, he expels the water from his mouth when the ice has | melted. He is of the opinion that he is entering | a “new higher plane of spiritual life,” tak- ing food from “the Father's life within.” Moreover, he has “worked it out potential- | ly” and knows that he can “experience it.” So what? Simply this, don’t be sur- | prised to hear that the worthy man has | eritered the spiritual realm, through the door of natural death, unless he abadons his absolute fast. It will be a pity, nodoubt, | but it will be. MRS.

This is shown in a 10-year study of Chickens, condticted by Cora E. Cooke, poultry extension spet- ialist at the University of Minne- sota. By increasing the percentage of jmash in the ration fed, the pro- duction gradually was stepped up }from 137 eggs per hen in 1927 to 119 in 1936, the study rev aul 541 — Hasexs you and your family often felt the n2ed of a telephone in your home?
