ing of the way in which the wool
schedule effects the poor man:
"The manager of a leading New
York selling house told a represent

that he paid the manufacturers In
America AS cents for the serge he
bought In Holland for 26 II cents.
The serge costing "a cents here he
gets there for II, and he declares
that in each case the Holland goods
are vastly better in quality. 1t is
notorious that the cost OF all cloth
ing ha steadily advanced under con-
ditions made possible by the tariff
this gentleman said, while the quail
ity has been steadily debased. See
how 1t works out. To-day there are
numberless places where q man can
buy ready-made suits at from S18
to $50, The cloth In these suits Is
the same which used to be offered In
the cheapest places at IS to $40 a
suit. A very few days wear will re-
veal what these suits are made of.
That Is why SO man. of the young

PROPER FEEDING OF PIGEONS
Twice a Day Is Sufficient at All Times
of Year-Many Changes Can Be
Made in Menu.

Feeding pigeons twice day is suffi-
cient at all times of the year. We
often read of the Importance of early
morning feeding. but this is purely a
notion; eight o'clock is a good time
for the breakfast hour
The proper method of feeding is to
have board about "a inches long and
eight inches wide. with strips nailed
around the four sides one inch high,
in which is placed grit. covering the
bottom about half an inch deep, with
good, sharp mixture. At the present
time there are very many fine com
binations on the market. Upon this
grit can be spread Canada peas, wheat
and canary seed in the morning, and
in the evening small round corn, hulled
oats and Canada peas; as much should
be given as the birds will eat up clean
There are many changes that can be
made in the menu. Bread can be
given, also a little lettuce, rice, oat-
meal, kafir corn, millet and hemp
seed Lettuce is good green food.
Hemp is very heating and fattening.
and should be given sparingly, al
though pigeons are very fond of it.

Beautiful La Bresse Not Only Produce

The beautiful breed of La Bresse
chickens are not only dainty looking
fowl, but they are quite the aristocrats
of the poultry world. They are not
only beautiful to look at, but are cele-
brated in France for their laying quail
ties. and also for being one of the best
of table birds. "Poularde la Bresse"
is there a household word, and it is
well deserved, for their flesh is eX-
tremely white and delicate. The hens

INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for
the Spread Of the Scourge
of Tubei suloss.

Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment of
their tuberculous prisoners. These in
stitutions can accommodate, however,
only 500 patients. In three-fourths of
the major prisons and in practically
all the jails of the country the tuber-
culous prisoner is allowed freely to
infect mis- fellow prisoners, very few
restrictions being placed upon his
habits. When the congregate mode OF
prison life is considered, the danger of
infection becomes greater than in the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer all tuberculous
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi-
tai is in Manila, where accommoda-
tons for 200 prisoners are provided.
The next largest is Clinton prison hos
pital in New York. which provides for
$50.
