their nests for any great length OF
time In search for their food.
We will suppose that the period OF
incubation has passed and that we
have secured a nice brood Of downy
chicks, and so for best results, we
will not feed them until the yolk has
had chance to become absorbed, say
from "a to SO hours. Provide some
corn or wheat for the mother hen
and some OF the widely advertised
chick feeds for the little ones. This
method we keep up for the first
week.
Now, we begin to feed a variety OF
feeds, such as oat-fiakes. cracked
wheat. bread crumbs, and. beyond
all. a supply OF fresh water. We
have found that many OF our brother
poultrymen make a failure OF the
chicken business by feeding the new
ly-hatched chicks with soft. indi-
gestible mass OF raw meal and other
sloppy feeds. A supply OF green
feed in some form will not 60 amiss
in the early spring before nature has
had a chance to assert herself.
Keep the chicks growing at all
times; begin with little green bone
or meat meal and increase the
amount as the chicks grow older and
watch the results. Also provide
charcoal and grit II the little chicks
are confined In limited space. with
this method OF feeding and care. We
can have broilers on the markc, from
the large breeds In from cigh, TO ten
weeks OF age. and II they are Leg
horns. We can have them laying In
from Ave to Ave and one-half months.

DIR. B. G. Hyde today was
convicted of murder in the
first degree and was given q
life term in the penitentiary
for having killed Colonel
Thomas H. Swope, the Kan

The conviction and SEN

climax to one of the most
sensational murder trials in
the history Of Missouri.
The jury which brought in
the verdict had been out
since last Friday night. For

that tho jury would not

The defendant, his wife and his

IF YOU want to know something
Of the real life of waitress
L you should talk to some of the
Girls who have spent weeks, months
and even years Of their life catering
to the hungry public who frequent
the restaurants.
1.-THE life Of a waitress isn't what
it might be-" said one Of the girls
who has for several years waited
tables in a number of local restau-
rants and bakeries.
1T Is certainly life of slavery If
ever there WAS one. The average
DAYS work of the waitress Is ten
house; that is, we have Is hours
in which to work. We are on our
feet constantly, for even when we
are not serving we are not allowed
to sit down. but must keep busy
brushing around or arranging ia
bles. 1t Is the same monotonous
routine day in and day out for sew
en- days in the week with little or
no recreation.
1--WE have to eat our meals on
our own time" continued the girl,
"or work overtime for the minutes
spent at eating, and we are never
allowed to take a piece or drink a
cup of coffee between times while
on duty.
Are we allowed to eat whatever
we want?
II should say not. In most rest
aurants we are forbidden to eat
anything costing over 25 cents. We
never get cream in our coffee ana
we never get dessert. We are not
allowed to have short orders for
dinner at night. 1t is mighty hard
to eat food after you have seen 1t
nrenarcd and have served it all day.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-05-16
PATRONS C0NSlDERATE Y
BUT IT'S HARD WORK

You don't have much appetite. In
many of the small bakeries they
don't serve meat orders, and even
if you buy your own steak the COOK
is not allowed to prepare 1t for
you. You must go elsewhere for
such food
The salary question was next
How do the girls pay expenses and
provide small luxuries with week
ly salary of $1,000? ,
I'VE meet expenses If we have
no misfortune, said the girl, but
we don't get more than the neces-
saries of life. AS a general rule we
try to live near our work, so as to
avoid paying carfare. We pay from

room once with no light or air,
chimed in one of her companions,
tall, thin, frail looking girl, "and
it put my lungs to the bad, so | had
to move"
THE laundry bills are what make
hole in the salaries. In most rest
aurants you have to wear a clean
white waist every evening besides
the black suits in the morning. A
girl is too tired at night after a
long days work to wash and iron
and many times she hasn't the con
veniences, so she must send them
| to the laundry
DO you find the guests courteous
and considerate of your position
was the next query.
Eyes, as a general rule the public
is courteous, but, of course, we oc'
casionally meet with unpleasant ex
periences. If man is dissatisfied
with his order and is rude enough
to swear at you, you have to take
! it,"

Two Hundred Lives and Millions Of
Property Devoured by Greedy
Flames.

Spokane, Wash, Aug 26.-The mys
terry of the bodies found in the st. Joe
country probably will be cleared up
today when the Milwaukee runs its
first train to Avery. One hundred and
six men living in st. Joe valley are
said to be missing. Twenty-Five bodies
supposed to be those of settlers, were
found yesterday. Several days age
twenty bodies were discovered scat
tered over an area of a mile and it is
assumed that they were forest rangers
and Supervisor Weigle included them
in his list of dead employees. Last
night, however, he declared they were
not rangers.
Add the number of dead rangers "a
the Al bodies found near Avery, 1C
japanese who persisted near Avery and
various known dead in Washington
Idaho and Montana, and the total is
142. This without taking into account
1S5 rangers imprisoned on the head
waters of the St Joe.
1t is believed that the present fires
are the most expensive the United
States has ever known. An expert
railroad builder estimates the loss to
the Milwaukee railroad at $500, 900.
The Spokane Chamber of Commerce
has begun the collection of a large re-
lief fund. The chambers representa-
tive. who has just returned from Idaho.
believes that many ranchers have been
burned to death and there are many
more who lost everything they pos
sessed and will need financial aid to
carry them through the winter.
A party of fifteen is surrounded
twelve miles west of Meitus Meadows,
but are supposed to be safe There
are also $50 men surrounded in the
mountains between Lolo Pass and st.
Marys, and Major Fem has sent
guides to pilot them out. There are
thirty-five large fires and many smaller
ones on the Clearwater reservation.
