snakes
Canaries, parOquets, parrots. eoaza-

should not monopolize too much time

whom they can bestow their attention

VI rs win deep regret that one wit
nesses the abandon to fads in
which many women indulge.
Sometimes it IS eceentricities in
dress; sometimes it is a mania for
shocking quiet people by the commis-
zion OF acts which betray unspeakable
recklessness and total disregard of
public opinion. Again it IS manifested
by participation in sports that are sup
posed to be intended exclusively for
men. others are addicted to playing
cards for money! shameful departure
from the virtues which are thought 20
be woman's chief charm. Poker,
bridge, baecarat and many other
gambling games under polite cog
nomens apparently possess all too many
If the leisure class. All of these
games stripped OF their fascinating
names are nothing more nor less than
gamblers devices for obtaining money
from the unWaTy. TIE very fact that
women try TO conceal the manner by
which they get money inegiumately is
sufficient. evidence that they appreciate
the truth that they are doing wrong
and are treadinE upon forbidden paths
One vice leads 10 another and there
are few women who do not add 10
their passion for cards a taste for
stimulants and drugs until they become
veritable slaves TO the fads that have
seized them.
Another revolving fad is the adoption

RECORD BROOD OF CHICKS

Cummins. Matched the largest brood ever
brought into the world at one time when
she Matched ]. S27 chickens Mrs Johnson
lives four miles north Of Maxwell.
Strange 20 say, il took thirteen incu-

this case did not prove unlueky. Mrs.
johnson set her thirteen incllbatcrs with
2,000 eggs three weeks ago When the
Matching day arrived farmers and their
wives came for miles to see the coming
of. The yard looked like a Fourth Of
July picnic. The wiggly, downy little
chaps completely covered a place on the
lawn sixteen feet one way and twenty

Mrs. Johnson is a scientific poultry
raiser. Each year she produces from
. 600 to 5000 chickens. The Department
of Agriculture at Washington has be-
come interested in her methods. An
expert expects to spend two weeks on
the johnson farm studying her poultry
business.

the fact that Uncle Sam
has. not exactly q "Keely
Cure" but a most heroic
and positive cure for the
drinking habit. The Gov
eminent has treated and discharged
hundreds OF men from this institution
as cured of fnsbriacy. True, the insti-
tuition is not open TO ali, and is prin-
cipalIy for army and navy men, Of
ncers and enlisted men. but it is open.
through the proper channels, to all citi-
zens of the District OF Columbia
First, the institution assumes. when
a man has reached that stage where
he does not stop drinking of his own
accord. that he is & dipsomaniac. In
other words, a person who has an IN
comfortable desire for drinking intoxi-
cAnts. The person is not necessarily a
drunkard. but any dipsomaniac is Of
unsound mind, l. E.. his mind is not
normal, however mild the case. This il
the assumption, and he is treated ae-
cordingiy.
Medicines cut no figure whatever in
this cure. Gold is given only as Is the
intrinsic value Of superior milk, eggs,

ancient Greeks and Romans, IN all fits

ing attachments, does the business.
Men who have been unable to utter a
sound, men who have been too feeble

stairs and supported by attendants
while taking the treatment. have been
up and out, walking around the
grounds OF this most beautiful retreat
with the appearance and feeling OF
good health. But this is only a be-
ginning. It is time-patience-that is
the next factor. Time and again it
has occurred that persons who had got
thus far and had parole of the grounds
slipped out and drank just a few This
fact, however, does not escape the at
tention OF the praeticed physicians in

not warned IN severe tones, but is
