HENS LAY AN EGG EACH DAY
Small Flock of Rhode Island Reds
Make Remarkable Record
Owner Has No System.

Wallace, Ida.--Twelve eggs day.
seven days in the week, for twenty
eight consecutive weeks is the record
of twelve hens kept in the center of
the Occur d'Alene mining district. Only
in the last few days, when one of the
number began to sit, was the record
spoiled.
The twelve hens are Rhode Island
Reds and are the property of Peter
Cav, who lives seven miles northwest
of Wallace. Mr.. Caw's home is well
up in the mountains at an altitude of
more than $500 feet. Throughout
nearly nine months the ground is snow
covered. 1t is only now that the last
of the snow is leaving. At more than
one time during the winter the snow
has been banked around the building,
nearly ten feet deep.
Mr.. Cav has no steam-heated houses
for his chickens and he neither cares
for them nor feeds by any book sys-
tenn. The home of the fowls is an old
barn, their feed selected scraps from
the table. With these they have pros
pered and with clock-like regularity
have furnished a neat income. Eggs
in Wallace during the months past
have ranged from rs to SO cents, Fig
ured at the low price, the twelve hens
made a gross earning in the twenty
eight weeks of $40.

Of InfantiIe Disease.

New York.-Experiments carried on
In the laboratories Of the Rockefeller
Institute Of Medical Research have
demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt
that the virus Of infantile paralysis is
carried from the sick to the we'll by
the common house fly.
1t had been really understood the
poisonous element of the disease is
transferred from those suffering from
it to persons brought in contact with
the patients; also that healthy persons
carry the virus from the sick to the
we'll. But in thinly settled sections of
the country the disease has spread in
manner that could not be accounted
for by any of the foregoing means of
transmission. This led to the sus-
picion that the common fly was the
carrier, and resulted in experiments
which have been and are still being
carried on by DR.. Simon Flexner. di.

were made without removing the
clothing, and so the real figures may
be higher.
Sometimes the curvature is con-
genial; sometimes it comes from rick
etts; often the position which a child
assumes in school is the cause. The
child has a slight deafness in one ear,
an astigmatism in one eye too slight
to be noticed, or perhaps is simply
weak. Sitting all the time in some
crooked position day after day and
year after year will develop a good
case of curvature.
THE only way to effect cure is to
begin the treatment early. Hence
mothers, family physicians and nurses
should examine children very careful
ly, and especially carefully when the
child complains Of some weakness or
shows signs of being always tired"

seem to indicate that the good
weather conditions which have pre-

summer still exist, and, with few ex-
ceptions, most crops are moving on
ward to good harvest. Many re-
pOrters mention that the conditions
are two weeks In advance However,
the prevailing high temperature has
made severe demands upon moisture
and few localities report that dry
weather is doing some damage.
The hay crop is nearly harvested
and shortage of rainfall just about
harvest time gave the farmers an OPP
