Worthless Glasses Sold to Women in
Kearney. Mo., by an Alleged
Faker.
Liberty, Mo,—Hypnoiism as an aid
to selling worthless glasses, is said
to have been used by a fake oculist
in Kearney. He sought women as Ills

more than ordinary powers in fitting
glasses.
One of Ills victims was Mrs. Elvira
T. Carey. He induced her to pay $20
for a pair of glasses by telling her
that her sight was very bad and that
there was f?reat danger of her going
blind if she did not buy the glasses.
That advice was accompanied by rub-
bing his fingers over lier head. Mrs.
Carey believes she was hypnotized,
ojher women in the neighborhood tell
of similar experiences.

Habit of Egg Eating Often
Formed in the Flock by Lack

As the pullet begins laying, more
nests will be needed and it is very
important that plenty or nests should
be provided so there will be no quar-
reling over them.
The vice of egg eating Is often
started in the flock because the hens
are lighting over the nests, break tha
eggs and find out that they are good

egg shells without crushing them will
alto teach the hens to eat eggs When
one learns, It doesn't take long for

then there is trouble indeed
Soft shelled eggs should be guarded
against In feeding the hens plenty of
clover and keeping them well supplied
with cyster shell and green cut bone.

To make a two loop halter, first
make an eye-splice in one end of the
rope. The 'eye" should be only large
enough to illow tlio rope to pass
through. If too larpje, it loosens eas-
ily. From the "eye" measure the dis-
tance that will be required to reach
nearly around the animals' nose, there
make a loop-splice.
Have the loop about the same size
as the "eye." (Pis 1 a) Next pass
the long end of the rope first through
the "eye-splice" and then through the
loop-splice.
