The Food for Poultry in Winter.

Much time and money have been
spent in what seems the almost vain
endeavor to make hens produce EGGS
in cold weather. 1t requires but little
experience with poultry. to learn the
fact that, under ordinary circum
stances, hens cannot produce as many
eggs in winter as in summer. summer
is the natural time for the laying OF
eggs, and in order to increase winter
production there must be reproduced
for the fowls as nearly as possible the
conditions that exist in summer Mrs
John J. Layzell of Brandon, Vt, has
evidently succeeded in doing, this with
her flock. She says: 81 have been
using Pages Perfected Poultry Food
for the last three winters, and find it
the best poultry food on the market
I have tried several different kinds
but I got no eggs until began to use
this food.'
If you want to know more about this
food and the best wavs of using it.

one mentioning this paper.

How does Senator E. M. Butler justify
his action in voting against giving the
people of the state the right to pass upon
the proposal to remove the time-lock
from the constitution? Does he pretend to
know that the people whom he represents
are in favor of retaining the clause which
makes it impossible to propose amendments
to the constitution oftener than once In
10 years? Or does he consider himself
better qualified to say what the state
shall have in the way of constitutional
amendments than the people themselves!
In voting against this particular proposal
Senator Butler does not merely express
his disapproval of it; he goes further and
expresses his disapproval of allowing his
constituents to be heard on the subject
Senator Adams, although a legislator OF
far more experience, takes no such dlcta
torial position.

This il a season for thin materials. Ex'
cept for street wear the veiled costumes
are used Not only one yelling, but one
over another of chiffon or other similar
materials NAV be used. As these often are
IN varied colors the effect is quite indie
scribable. For instance, yelling costume
in pansy colored chiffon may not mean IN
a yellow or purple or violet shade, but IN
several OF these shades one over another.
Even the lining slip is Of thin stuff
mcssaline or other lightweight fabric. Fur
and velvet bands sometimes are encased
in chiffon puff. An artistic touch and
sense is required in the dressmaker who
attempts these creations. However, this
sense is possessed by many home dress

In the early days OF winter Wneil lneit
is scarcely enough snow for sleighing and
runners are used, the merciful driver will
not expect too much of his team. Where
little snow in the tracks will help with
a load over hard place it should be sup
piled. or the load lightened. Someone
SAYS. "That takes too much time. Never
theless. most of us have seen as much
time wasted in lashing horses to get them
over an impossibility, and then have to
give it up until help arrives, as It would
take to shovel the snow or take off por-
ton of the loading. A team which has
never been ''set" has better courage than
the one which has been overloaded on up
grades with poor roads.

While on the subject OF athletics. The
Meddler feels like pointing with pride. TO
one phase Of the high school football
season iu.t closed and that is the excel
lent scholarship maintained by the mem
bers of the team. Principal Smith is au-
thority for the statement that the. boys
who PLAYED football this year did better
work in their studies during the season
than they had ever done before. This Is
undoubtedly due TO rigid enforcement OF
the scholarship requirements regarding
All athletic teams representing the school,
and proves conclusively that athletics
properly conducted are an extremely bene-
fcial feature of any school curriculum
The Meddler ventures the hope that this
desire Tor learning. inspired by yearning
for glory in the field of sport, will in no
way abate now that the inspiration Is
temporarily absent.

Of FIRE LINES

New York, Sept. 9.--"Buffs" will bo

day. All Of the 1000 badges issued
by the Fire Department, permitting
the owners TO enter the fire lines dur
ing cOnhagration, Will be taken up
today and limited number OF new
badges issued To- bona fido reporters,
city officials having actual business
within fire lines and representatives
of service corporations whose wires.

quire attention during the progress or
a blaze. The thousand or two poIiti-
clans and other persons with pulls"
who now own badges. many Of whom
run to big fires merely for the fun ot
the thing, will have TO stay outside of
the fire lines, like common people.
The new issue OF badges is to be
limited TO 1000, a quarter Of the pres
ent number. At recent big fires there
have been from a hundred to a thou
sand people within the lines who had
no possible business there and they
have greatly hampered the work of
the firemen and police.

VIII be completed at today's Demo.
cratic convention In Jefferson City and
the campaign for securing the Demo.
cratic presidential nomination for tho
former Missouri governor In 1912 will
be pushed all over the country. Ipau-
ential hackers OF Folk have recently
visited cities all over the country and
declare that Folk sentiment exists
from Boston to San Francisco and
from Duluth to Galveston. This sen.
timent, they assert. needs only to be
iostered and organized to become n
powerful force that will win the plum
Tor Folk without struggle in tho
convention.
FOLK boosters will likely complete
arrangements today for n national con.
ference of Folk men to consider methI
DDS OF procedure. The gathering will
likely be beldssin Chicago late thisel
month or early IN October. Already
Folk clubs;hav beenstarted In nearly
all of the ia counties OF Missouri.
IL Is considered certain that today's
convention OF Missouri Democratic
candidates will give Folk it's unaualI-
hed endorsement for President. The
Democratic candidates for United
States senator are glad to have Folk
out OF the way, as senatorial rival.
Former Gov. David r. Francis, and
former Mayor James A. Reed of Kan
sas City are both ambitious to go to
the United States Senate, and btoh
are thankful to Folk for not entering
the lists against them.
Much of Folks strength In Missouri
VIII go to Mr.. Francis, although a
part of IL Will go to Reed, despite the
that has existed between
Folk and the Kansas City man.
