unless he has a large bank &C

closed building where they must

night?
Sooner or later the stock will
show the i'll effects of close hous-
ing and breathing impure air at
night. During the day when
the intake of oxygen is less,
when the fowls are busy exer-
cising and can run out Of doors,
there take place within the body
tissues chiefly breaking d o w n
processes, the energy spent in
doing work. During the night,
during rest and sleep the intake
or consumption of oxygen is
much greater; for at this time
the recuperative processes take
place, repairing the waste of to-
day and preparing for the work
of tomorrow"
Doesn't it appeal to your COM
mon sense that it is better that
this process of repairing of worn
and building up of new body
tissues, be accomplished in pure
fresh air. we'll supplied W i t h
abundant oxygen for the neces-
sary work, rather than in i'm
pure, yitiated air, that may
carry with it the seeds of disease
and that is lacking in needed
oxygen?
Good health in the fowls is the
foundation of successful poultry
husbandry. A good foundation
of breeding fowls in good health
gives you a good start, but you
must keep them and their pro-
genyhealthy if the success is to
be permanent. The building on
foundation must also be
good, with a constant striving
for improvement. There is not

to laziness and vigor impaired.
Overheated on sunny days anc
summer nights.
Damp litter, house sweating,
damp frosty walls and ceiling.
Air filled with filthy dust, when
house is not too damp.
The above are sufficient for a
practical example.
Open air living is a very potent
factor in promoting good health
and in insuring better productiv-
ity and better progeny.
While fresh air methods of
poultry keeping are not really
new, and probably date back as
far as does the domestication of
poultry, it was not until the
modern types of the open front
open air poultry houses were in
troduced that there was any
widespread movement in favor
of this method of housing poul-
try. For many years, probably
dating back to the earliest time
of general interest in poultry in
this country, there have been
successful poultry keepers who
used and recommended the use
of open air quarters.
To-day open front poultry
houses Of one type or another
are becoming popular in nearly
every state in the union regard
less of climate. State expert
lnent stations are recommending
fresh air methods. Open front
are doing good and
satisfactory work in cold north
arn climates and in the tropics.
Everywhere their use results in
better health for the focks and
better health means better pro-
1~uctivity and better profits.

Now let me bring before your
mind some of the essentials oil
succession there's nothing SC
successful as success-then
will close.
The essentials of permanent
success in poultry keeping are
few and they dovetail into one
another, are so dependent one
upon the others that it is not
possible to say which is the most
important. Given a good found
alton of hereditary good health,
these essentials are:
Good care and management
combined with plenty of whole
some food in sufficient variety,
comfortable quarters with an
abundance of pure open air to
breathe every day and night,
a good supply of pure water to
drink, freedom from lice and
other yermin; sunshine and shade
well proportioned and we'll bal
anced exercise and rest.
To apply these essentials to
practical poultry work requires
a person with common sense
and an aptitude for attending to
and not overlooking small details
Such a poultry keeper by obser-
walton and experience will soon
master the comparatively simple
requisites of good care, feeding
and management.
With good open-front houses,
supplied with shade
enough for hot weather and not
too many birds in a flock, nature
and the fowls will do the rest.
Compare the effects Of living
in pure air in an open front poul-
Try house and living in impure
air in a closed poultry house.
Open front houses and open
air living mean:
Continued good health.
Less liable to diseases.
Colds and catarrhal diseases
Uncommon.
Better nourished bodies and
sound lungs.
Better appetites and better
production.
Better egg yield, better hatch
IS, better chicks.
Birds with broad backs, deep,
veil formed bodies, lustrous
active and possessing
he maximum constitutional
igor.
Comfort the year around, both

Dry litter, no house sweating,

Gomez Defies Mexicans,
Says InSurrectiOnists Will
Fight to Their Death.

NEW YORK. March 14.-Dr. Fran
cesco Gomez, leader of the Washington
Junta of the insurrectionists in Mevico,
delivered a general defiance of the
Mexican government this afternoon just
before he departed for Washington.
DIR. Gomez, who has been here several
days in consultation with Gustavo
Madero said
THE revolutionists will lay down
their arms only when their demands
are granted. If the demands are not
granted We shall continue TO fight to
the DEATH We are not worried over
the presence of United States troops
in Texas. We. that is the insurrec-
tionists, think that the movement of
troops is directed against Mexico as
well as to the smuggling of arms. but
is not purely directed against the in
surgents The government is now
realizing the seriousness of the insur
gent movement, and the whole country
is thoroughly alarmed.
There are 200 men under arms
in twenty States out of thirty-one
States fighting for the insurgent cause
In addition to our physical strength
actually in the field we have many
American men in, high places who are
not only sympathizing with US in our
struggle. but are secretly aiding us
with resources"

TIPS PAINFUL OF
BOILING WATER
UPON BROTHER
Arthur Williams, Five Years
Old, Is Fatally Scalded;
Taken to Hospital.

Twelve-year-old Flora Williams very
nearly scalded her 5-year-old brother
Arthur to death this afternoon when
she played mama and tipped a
great pan of boiling water from the
kitchen stove upon his head and body,
The lad was carried to the City Hos
pital so badly scalded about the head
and body that it was said he could not
survive.
The williams family lives at 14s
Peshine avenue. The mother and
father left baby Arthur in charge of
his older sister. while they went out
to shop.
"Tn be mama and Well cook a
meal" said the girl, and taking her
brother to the kitchen she started to
remove the boiling water from the
stove.
1t tipped over in her hands, and a
moment later the child lay screaming
on the floor, with all the skin of his
head and body peeling off.
The girl was brave. She carried her
brother to the street, where a drug
gist gave first-aid. DIR. Robinson, of
449 Clinton avenue. was summoned. He
saw at once that there was scant
chance that the boy would recover and
he ordered him sent to the City Hos
pital.
The mother and father of the girl
came back home to find her on the
point of distraction from grief over her
unintentional act

NORRIS COUNTY MEN
SURPRISE STATE HOUSE
Action in Deserving Administers

in Governors Ranks.

TRENTON, March 14.--Assemblymen
Bum and Burke, of Norris broke the
Democratic compact of unity insisted
upon by Governor Wilson, in their vote
today against House 1877, the governors

Simpson, of Hudson.
Among other purposes of the bill is
that limiting the amount that any call
didate for office may contribute for ex-
penses came up on third reading, when
1t was explained and advocated by Mr..
Simpson.
The enactment of the bill, he said,
will keep out corporate interference in
elections and make candidates answer
able only to the people. 1t Is in the
interest he said, of pitiless publicity
as advocated by Governor Wilson Re-
publican Leader McCran said he ia
vored any bill which would do away
with corruption at elections, but he
insisted that the bill under consider
alton WAS defective, because it per-
mitted candidate for senator to spend
81, 900 and candidate for Assembly
but $500. At the same time, he con-
tinued, candidate for ward alderman
could spend as much as did a candi-
fate for assembly.
Mr.. Johnson also called attention to
what he considered defects in the pro-
posed bill Mr.. Bum opposed the bill
and denounced it as undemocratic. Its
enactment, he held, would land every
candidate for Office in Jail Mr.. Burke
also opposed, on the ground that the
evils aimed at would not be removed
by the bills enactment. The bill
passed, So to 8. Those voting in the
negative were: Adams, Republican, of
Mercer, and Bum and Burke, Demo
Gratis. Morris.
The deSertion of Bum and Burke,
who in the Geran Record Wilson con-
ference of yesterday and a week ago
were among the most warm champions
| of the governor, is regarded as indi-
eating a decided change OF heart among
some of the o1scia1 visitors to Wilson.

MISSING, FAMILY
GREATLY ALARMED
Nothing Heard from Prominent
Newarker Since He Left
for Chicago.

The police Of this cfty have been
asked to send out general alarm for
Simon J. Premselaar, so years old. of
11S Seymour avenue. prominent in Ma
sonic and Hebrew Lodge circles in
Newark. who has been missing from
his home since Monday, March 8. The
police of Chicago, New York and st.
search for the missing man.
Premselaar, who for the past ten
years has been superintendent of the
Hebrew Orphan Asylum in this city.
left a week ago last Monday for Chit
cago, ostensibly to assume a similar
position in the western city, which, he
told the members of his family, he had
obtained through a friend In New
York. He drew $1,000 from the bank
and told his wife that If he had not re-
turned by Friday the tenth, he would
wire her His western trip was to in
clude visit to st. Paul. Nothing has
been heard from Premselaar by mem
bers Of kis- family since he left Nome
His wife is convinced that he has met
with foul play.
Came Here from New York.
For fifteen years Premselaar was SUI
perintendent of the Hebrew Sheltering
Society, of New York. Later he be-
came superintendent of the Newark
Orphan. Asylum, where he served ten
years. He severed his connection with
this company about five months ago
and became identified with the Griffith
Insurance Company, in the Union build
Ing. Recently he told his wife of the
Chicago offer and had made every
preparation to accept and take his fam
lily West with him. He had made ar
rangements to lease his house and sell
his furniture. Had everything been
satisfactory on this preliminary visit.
he was to have sent for his wife and
two sons, Jack, IL years old. and Ber-
nard, years old, at once.
Premselaar was secretary of the Tri
Luminar Lodge of Masons. was a
Shriner, a Forester and was connected
with many local building and loan as
sociations An examination of his ac-
counts since his disappearance shows
them to be correct in every detail. He
had no trouble which might have
driven him to seek quiet retreat for
time, his wife declares, and unless it
develops that he has merely neglected
to communicate with his family, the
mystery surrounding his disappearance
may prove difficult one to solve

SHERIFF SAYS
BOXING BOUTS
CANNOT co ON
Unless Irvington Officials Act
He Will Be Prepared to
Stop Them.

Sheriff Harrigan today practically
forbade the boxing bouts scheduled for
the Olympic A. C. in Letter to Mayor
w. P. Glorieux, of Irvington, which
speaks for itself. The letter is the re-
suit of a conference between the sheriff
and his legal adviser. and reads:
Dear Sir-I have been notified of a
contemplated violation of the law. adj
vertised TO take place in your town to-
night, to wit: A pugilistic contest or
combat under the auspices of the
Olympic Club Under existing statutes
such contests or combats aer prohibit
ed, and all participants therein be-
come guilty of a misdemeanor.
Having directed your attention to
the situation. deem it your duty to
enforce the law. Should you fail or
find yourself unable to do so, shall
be obliged to interfere. but not until
then Kindly, therefore. direct your
police officials to see that no breach Of
the law is committed.
Yours very truly,
WILLIAM HARRIGAN.
Sheriff
The Irvington police committee is ac-
customed to receive $50 for each box
ing exhibition such as the one adver-
tised.
Following a conference with Prosecu-
tor Mott today. Sheriff Harrigan sum-
moned to his office at the Court House
Chief of Police Greene, of Irvington
and James Belden, manager of the
Olympic A. c., and discussed the op-
position which has arisen TO the pro
posed boxing bouts in the Olympic
Park tonight
The Rev. George Fountain, pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Of
Irvington. appeared to complain against
the proposed hight and have them
stopped il possible. Sheriff Harrigan
quoted an old decision of Judge Dupeu's 3
to the effect that scientific boxing ex-
hibitions were legal. DR. Fountain
agreed with him, but maintained that
unless such bouts were held in gym
nasium or a physical culture club they
were prize fights. The sheriff an
nounced that after comforting with his
attorney he would at 8 o'clock an
nounce whether or not he would inter-
fere with the bouts scheduled for 20
night.
Campaign Against Bouts.
James d. Jameson Henry C. Klein
and the Rev. Elmer A. FRANKIE
have been making a campaign against
the exhibition, pointing to the anti
prize fighting precedent recently set by
Newark and Hudson county after the
death of young fighter in Harrison
fight club hall. Members of the license
and police committees and Mayor
Glorieux decided that since a permit
for the bouts tonight had been granted
and all of the preparations for them
made no interference with them would
be made.

NEW YORK, March 14-What may
be considered in effect the official Mex
lean reply to recent representations
said to have oeen made by the United
States, asking as liberal treatment as
possible for Americans caught bearing
arms on Mexican territory, is con-
tanned in a statement made here this
afternoon by Jose Yves Limantour,
Mexican minister of finance.
In substance 1t is indicated that cap
tured American allies of the revolu-
tionists will have to take their chances
with their Mexican rebel companions
The intimation is strong that no pref
erential treatment can be accorded
them. This is considered to mean that
under martial law they might be sum
marily tried and executed.
