I do mnot think there is- anything more fascinating in the world than to see something alive develop day by day. There is a hardware shop in our town before whose windows you will gee two or three people standing at al- most any’ moment. Hardware does not sound Hke the sort of thing from which such“a successtul window dis- play could be fashioned. The answer is as simple as it is fascinating. There are several boxes in which, in ex- uisitely neat rows, all sorts of seeds ave been planted. Behind them is a ‘minjature chicken run, housing a dozen baby chicks. And everyone in town is watching those seeds come up ana those chicks grow. |. Children Are Best Of All Growing Things. where there are chil- dren, one does not so much feel the lack of growing things.

In ‘“Joan the ‘Woman,” Cecil B, DeMille has pro- duced a wonder film, secand to none created since the cinema art was per- fected. Gripping, tense, swift moving and deeply emstional, “Joan the Woman' ‘weaves a spell over the audience that carries ‘it back to the litle town of Orleans, France, in the fifteenth cen- _tury, to watch:the battles against ox- ternal foes and internal machinations led by a simplé country maiden, in- spired by heaven. While the picture does not follow strictly the text, it Joses none of its charm and is even made mgare. vivid by a modern pro- < The Maid of, Orleans, who will live in the hearts of every true French- man as long as the fleur-de-lis blooms, 1s capably portrayed by Miss Geral- dine Farrar, who first sprang into iféme as a grand opera singer. Miss Farrar is perfect. Her rdle affords many oppartunities for exaggeration but she never strays from the paths of true artistry. Wallace Reed's in- terpretation of “Eric Trent” is equally as deserving of commendation. The picture is staged on a stupendous scale and for thoge whose heart strings are gripped by the magnetism of the silent drama “Joan the Woman'’ hes no peer.

And last time I called I found her sewing with "a basket of kittens at her feet. It was a question whi was the prouder of those babies, the mother puss who purred and bridled and washed each kitten anxiously the moment‘ we laid it down, or the lit- tle maiden lady who told me proudly how smart they had grown in the last few days. There was something infinitely beautiful and touching about that vicarious motherhood. No wondeér her face grows sweeter instead of plainer with the years. To any lonely man ' or woman whose life is getting ‘monotonous and tasteless and in a rut I recommend a course in growing things. % McKINLEY’S NIECE SINGS AT KEENEY'S Mabel McKinley, a niece of the late President McKinley and a singer of character songs\of international fame, is numbered among the enter- tainers at Keeney's this week. - Miss MeKinley has exceptional talent and her singing -made. her a big favorite Iwm: the “first nighters.” Other acts include the famous Old .Homestead quartet, presenting a high class sing- ing and dancing novelty.

Brady-World i production “Man’s Woman,” in which Ethel Clayton is starred and in which Rockliffe Fellows appears with her This feature his been staged on a very elaborate scale.

CLOSING WEEK AT ' THE GRAND THEATER This week brings to an end the season at the Grand theater, Hart- fard, and for the farewell perform- ances, Manager Scullen secured the “Midnight Maidens” as the attraction. Before one of the largest “first night” audiences of the year, the company ‘save a performance that was fairly acceptable, but as the week goes on it is believed that the work will impreve. There are many comedians whose chances are not at all in jeopardy -when the work of the so-called “funny fellers” of the troupe this week is considered, but the many other bright features of the performance over- balances this deficit. ‘When mashed potatoes need extra thinning, if you have no cream, use butter, as too much milk makes the potatoes watery and dark. » Although less than four feet long it can do every kind of cooking' for an: family by gas in warm weather or by coal or wood when the kitchen n Gold Medal J1ENWOO(k This coal and gas range with two ovens is a wonder for cooking T e e — —— Ny éatérgoers and Women Reader. ordinary heating.

Every home in New Britain with a baby in it has a continuous celebra- tion; no time limits are recognized. ; The baby monarchs seem to be barn with a knowledge of the things that go toward the making of a perfect celebration. They often demand a rousing paride be held in the dead Wwatches of the night. The muysic ac- companying this pajama march is Wweird and doleful without tune or time and is familiarly known by the pleasing title “Singing Baby to Sleep.” When Old Home Week was first proposed it caught the popdlar fancy and many comunities old enough to have wandering sqns and daughters called them home to help commemo- rate some local nn‘l'lneuary and have a joyous time. It a besntiful idea and has been followed by week cele- brations of every known variety. 3 Last week there were two weeks of gsreat importance to the nation and the home. One was Navy Week with its great parades and enthusiasm in recruiting, so vital now,-and the other Baby Week, so vital to the future of the country. Both of these great movements maintain recruiting sta- tions. In the navy only physical per- fection is enlisted, but in the Baby Milk Station the little recruits are all accepted, each one receiving the care a loving hearted nurse knows so well’ how to give. The Milk StatioA, New Britain’s practical means of saving baby life, opened in {ts new quarters in the Boys’' club building. Nearly three hundred people with baby interest in their hearts inspected these rooms, so clean and white, a worthy place well fitted, to care for little citizens. Il Baby week is purposely held early in the spring to give as much pre- paration as possible before the hot weather demarderits toll of infant life. Many a mother realizes too late that lack of proper knowledge in caring for her baby may have had a contributing part in the passing away of thg little life; then comes that bitterest of all cries: “If I had only known.” The Milk Station {s here, ready and anxious to help every mother. Do not wait until it is too late. —er———————————————— To restore curdling mayonnaise, put a teaspoonful of melted butter in a round-bottom basin and gradually work in the mayonnaise SOME 600D ADVICE Strengthened by New Britain Experi- ences. Kidney disease is too dangerous to neglect. At the first sign of backache, headache, dizziness or urinary disor- ders, you should give the weakened kidneys prompt attention. Eat little meat, take things easier and use a re- liable kidney tonic. There's no other kidney medicine so well recommended as Doan's Kidney Pills. New Britain people rely on them. Here's one of the many statements from.New Bri- tain people. Mrs. A. W. Plumb, 82 Elm Bt., New | Britain, says: ‘“Doan’s , Kidney Pills have given good satisfaction when- ever I have used them. The pain across my bdck and shoulder causes considerable annoyance. It seems I am bothered more or less by my kidneys during the winter months. Doan’s’ Kidney Pills correct this trouble. I consider them very good and worthy of recommendation.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Plumb had.

Chard, ‘or Swiss chard, to give its whole name, is an evolution of the best. It runs to top instead af the root, and thus it often called the sil- ver beet and the spinach beet. It is used only for greens and possesses some of the good points of spinach, cabbage, best greens and kale, says to- days garden’ lesson from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, which is co-operating with this pape» to ‘encourage the planting of many new home gardens as a war measure. Chard can geldom be bought in any market. Yet those who have a taste for in the summer, when spin- ach and other greens are “scarce, should surely plant it in. their gars dens, as it is one of the best of the €reens plants, and a summér pro- ducer. ‘It makes a sure-fire crop even in the hands of beginners and against adverse weather conditions. - Most sardeners who have raised it are en- thuslastic about it. It is another main crop, or whole season crop, that does not fit'in with any second for second crops in the same season. It must be planted in the spring, but it begins producing its mature leaves in the early summer and continues to give them to its grower until frost comres. It is a ‘beautifu] plant with large, light-green wrinkled leaves supported by broad, white stems growing directly out of the root crown. The white, blanched root is not eaten. Plant 2 cunces of chard seed to 199 feet of row, having the row ‘18 inches apart. 'When the plants are well up thin them o6ut so t they stand about 6 inches apart. The immatuge. plants thus pulled can be used for greens. ‘When the crop is ready for use yon tan either cut the oldest leaves on each Ylant, leaving the younger ones to grow, or you can cut off the entire top, taking care not to injure the root crown where the leaves sprout, and the plant will continue to pro- dfice. * The thick stalks of the leaves can be cooked and served like as- paragus. *
