health aud she had always striven
for that and the result was she had
never had sick day in her life. She
uses the same common sense in rails
ing chicks she has used In caring for
herself. Diet is the principal thing.
Mrs. Tilsnn says the western people
are so busy with larger concerns that
poultry raising has not had the at
tention it should. The rate of in
terest is larger from money invested
in poultry raising than anything
else.
She talked for an hour on the rela-
tive merits of dry and cooked feed
for chicks, showed the necessity Of
feeding vegetables to chickens and
then talked on the raising of young
turkeys.
Her talk was full of helpful sug-
gestions. She says that one can
raise 100 chickens with one hour of
time every day.
Physiological Chemistry.
Miss Ammons next gave good
practical talk on physiological
chemistry. She has a pleasing ap.
pearance and a winning way and her
talk was very interesting. She thinks
we are sometimes lacking in interest
in ourselves and those in our house.
hold and we do not realize the close
relationship between the physical,
mental and spiritual growth. We
should certainly be as interested in
caring for our children as caring for
our chickens. Nothing can be so
important in all the world as build
ing up the physical bodies of our
children. Miss Ammons then spoke
of what foods are best for children
and students.
She says the last century has been
called woman's age for women have
had the best opportunity to advance
along all lines and here we have
more power than our eastern sisters.
Next will come childs age, when we
will take the knowledge we learn
and apply to right living and will
use our minds in caring for our
bodies first. She thinks some of the
club women would do we'll to study
the vital living questions Of what to
eat, how to cook and how to live in
stead of being interested in studying
characters who have been dead hun
dreds of years. Culture, she says, is
alright, but right every day living is
better.
The North Side Country Club and
Union Ladies' Aid, with the speak
ers, enjoyed luncheon at the Oasis
hotel at noon.
In the afternoon session Mrs. TIL
son spoke first on diseases of fowls.
She described different diseases
and gave remedies for them, but
dwelt more on prevention of disease
than cure. Miss Ammons then gave
another talk on home cooking and
general housekeeping. She says
women do not use business methods
about their work as men do and that
housework could be simplitied by
management. She warned the
mothers not to do heavy work and
not to do useless things and not to
make too many ruftles and frills to
be washed and ironed, for some day
they may slip away and the little
ones be left without a mothers care.
Miss Boswell, graduate of Drexel
Institute of Philadelphia and who
Is now teaching in the Agricultural
college at Fort Collins, spoke next.
Her subject vas domestic art or
dressmaking. Miss Boswell talked
OF her school days and their training
III dressmaking, millinery, design
Ing, etc. She thinks the time will
soon come when sewing will be
taught in all ..of the schools. Miss
Boswell says there is nothing on top
OF the globe more important than
sewing, for it is just as necessary to
properly clothe the body as to prop
erly feed it.
All Of the ladies took part in the
general discussion which followed.
