ANCON,
CANAL ZONE.
FRIDAY-Miss Constance Bak-
er of Cincinnati is the only Ameri-
can woman on the Isthmus to go
Into business for herself, and she
Ia the first person to introduce a
roof garden into Panama.
Miss Baker has a photograph
studio at the very top of an old
adobe building inhabited only by
Panamanians.
One flight, two flights, three
flights--I wondered IL there was
any top to the building. Curious,
dark faces peered out of the door
ways and a brown little man final
iy directed me to the studio.
There were pictures all around,
and while / was looking and ad-
miring, this daring American girl
artist herself appeared, hand out
stretched, and enveloped from
head to foot in big, paint
smeared apron.
Then, of course, we had to go
mp on the cosy roof garden and
chat. Miss Baker lives in her roof
garden when she isn't focusing
tner camera or patiently fitting a
developing tray in the dark room.
And such a beautiful little spot of
greenness as it is, far above the
alien noise and smells of the
strange street below. There is a.
low stone wall surrounding it and
one has a splendid view of the
Pacific and the mauv nnIorad cooec
and turrets of the city.
There are plants everywhere,
orchids Just about ready to bloomI
and trailing cool green vines.
while tin roof above keeps outl
the glazing sun. A couple of big
hammocks, cushions scattered

JUST MAKING OUT A CASE
Uncle Jeth Had Deep Reason for Oc-
cupation That Was Seemingly
Improbable.

John Collier, the secretary of New
York's board of moving picture cen
sors, said the other day:
It's no good getting up objec-
tionable picture plays. We never
pass them, in fact, we turn them down
SO invariably that 1t seems to me the
composers of such plays are animated
by a spirit of perversity. They re-
mind me of old Uncle Jethro Husk.
Uncle Jethro. sat fishing on the
bank of a tiny rivulet when a stran-
ger stopped beside him and said:
rs it possible that there are any
fish in such a small stream as that?"
mo, there amt none Uncle Jeth
grunted.
but you're fishing.'
Yep said Uncle Jeth.
What, then, is your object?'
MY object said Uncle Jeth, is to
show my wife 1 amt got no time to
sift the ashes.'"

For These Things We Give Thanks.

Thanksgiving day We should all be
able to give thanks to our parents for
these things:
For a clean name, unsullied by Ques-
tionable transactions, honorable in
human relations.
For an untainted birth, with such
health as purity transmits, and for the
brooding tenderness that guarded and
cherished US before birth and made
careful preparation for our coming.
For wholesome food, sufficient cloth
ing, and comfortable shelter until our
coming Of age, or during the lifetime
OF our parents.
For education, according to the best
standards of which they knew suited
TO our individual needs and possibili-
ties, and preparing US 10 earn our
own liyings.
For such knowledge OF our bodies
and minds. and such reverence for
them as makes intemperance impos-
sible.

KEEPING CHICKENS IN COLD
inexperienced Poultry Raisers Make
Mistake In Furnishing Quarters
That Are Too Warm.

One Of the mistakes made by nearly
all the inexperienced poultry raisers is
in keeping the chickens too warm in
winter They cannot bring themselves
to believe that the hen Is so warmly
clad that 1t can live in the open like
a quail. partridge, prairie chicken and
other wild fowl.
No n would think of furnishing
warm quarters for the sparrow or the
wild pigeon. Feathers are non-conduc-
tors and as comfortable as furs. They
are so thickly placed on the chicken
that he cold cannot get through nor
can the body heat get out. The only
shelter that a chicken really needs is
from wet and from drafts.
A chicken that is Injured to cold
weather Is not SO apt to get sick.
Many coops are open In front, only
curtains of burlap OF some other cheap
material being provided to protect the
chicken from stormy weather.

Don't sell cracked or very small
eggs. ~
Grit and oyster shells should not be
forgotten.
You can gain two or three cents a
dozen by shipping your own eggs.
A filthy hen house is the best
breeding place for lice and mites.
If you want eggs in winter we must
breed from hens that lay in winter.
The idea that water is necessary to
any one who cares to raise ducks is a
mistake.
In fly season. keep netting over the
egg basket, as fly-specked eggs are not
inviting.
Stale bread thoroughly dried and
rolled into fine crumbs is excellent
chicken food.
1t is time for questions about get.
ting fowls to come down out of trees
and roost in houses.
Careless and Indifferent systems Of
feeding are often the cause of poor
milk yields and small profits.
1t is absurd to expect pullets to lay
during the early winter when they
were not Matched until June or July.
Eggs during the hot weather should
DC removed from the nests at once
and placed in the coolest spot in the
house.
There should be provided plenty OF
fresh clean water to drink. preferably
water from which the chill has been
taken OF.
Cabbage heads or mangles make an
acceptable green feed for them to
pick up. also apple and potato parings
are much relished.
In summer time all eggs marketed
should be infertile. Such a condition
can only exist after the males have
been removed from the focks.
Many beginners make the mistake
Of n specializing. in some way-in
eggs. for example. or In pure-bred
stock. There Ia no reason why the
two should not Be combined.

exhorted to be of good cheer and 20
count up their mercies." Paul's
words are not only hortatory, but
also mandatory. 1t is the duty OF
the Christian, amid all vicissitudes,
to be thankful. A believer is never
justified in forgetting Gods benefits
to him. He is expected to figure out
every now and then the sum of the
divine favors that have been shown
to him, or what might be called the
statistics of salvation. 1t is true that
divine mercies have been innumer-
able, and cannot be tabulated with
anything like completeness; yet the
Christian believer is exhorted to
dwell upon these mercies in thought
and to render vivid to his mind. BY
frequent reflection. so many of the
visitations of divine favor as he can
discern p~rovidentially unfolded in
his past life.
There is. then, a duty of thanks
giving Praise is the expected thing.
gratitude is demanded. God is dis
appointed. and even angered. when
men receive his gifts without return
ing thanks. The Lord is gracious.
but that is no reason why the chill
dren of men should be ungraciously
thankless. Thanksgiving is a part
of the code of duty of a Christian. il
Is an integral portion of the deca-
logue of moral action. 1t is % a
kind of extra service. or su~perfuous
activity added on to the body of duty
otherwise complete. but is of the
warp and woof Of the Christians OBJ
legation. BE thankful was not the
idle, chance remark Of a sentimental
apostle. but is the New Testament in
depreciation of the Old Testament
burden Of blessing.
But if thankfulness is a duty. il is
none the less on that accsun a grace.
II it is not optional, it nay certainly
be ornamental. The fact that a
thing or a trait is demanded BY the
moral law does not render the sacri-
fee of that thing or the exhibition
of that trait any the less noble or
The grace of gratitude in
is a peculiarly lovely yir-
There is even, we may say. an
aesthetic quality to thankfulness. |
Praise is comedy for the upright"

on the beauty Of holiness. |
Even the world appreciates the aes-
thetic value Of gratitudeNas well as !

Thanksgiving day is a proper and

Cheap Insect Powder,

An excellent insect powder may be
made by following the formula given
below: Take three parts of gasoline
and add n part of crude carbolie
acid. Mix these together and add
gradually, stirring constantly, enough
plaster OF paris to take up all the
moisture. Stir so thoroughly that the
liquid will be uniformly distributed
through the plaster. This mixture,
when dry. will be a pinkish brown
powder. having a carbolic >odor. For
lice or mites on fowls, thoroughly dust
and work the powder through the
feathers. On about the third day give
a second busting. This will rid the
birds of all insects.

STONE DEMANDS INQUIRY
INTO MEXICAN SITUATION
Introduces Bill Calling for Investi-
CATION by the Committee on
Foreign Relations.

Searching inquiry into the present situa-
ton in Mexico is demanded in a resolu-
ton offered today by Senator Stone of
Missouri. The resolution calls on the
Senate committee on foreign relations to
undertake the investigation because Of
the danger TO American and foreign lives
and property.
The resolution, at the request of Sena-
tor Stone, was laid on the table. Its
author intends to make a speech on II.
appealing for its immediate adoption.
The resolution sets forth that ''con-
dition OF turbulence and disorder" pre-
walls in the republic across the Rio
Grande that the lives of American citi-
zens and the property of Americans are
in jeopardy, that the work on the dam
in the Imperial valley has been retarded
by existing conditions and that Ameri-
cans on this side Of the boundary have
been killed and wounded by flying bull
lets.
Especial stress is laid on the fact that
certain European newspapers report for
eign governments to be contemplating in
tervention by force to protect the lives
and properties of their citizens, and ref
erence Is made to the landing Of British
marines recently on the coast Of Lower
California.
Senator Stone did not announce when
he would speak on the resolution.

DEMURRER IS FILED
BY PETER C. THOMSON
Statement of Head of Coated
Paper Company Charged
With Bribery.

Peter G. Thomson Of Hamilton. Ohio.
president OF the Champion Coated Paper
Company, today filed demurrer in the
local criminal court to an indictment re-
turned against him last June on charge
OF bribery. The indictment alleges that Mr.
Thomson sent 500 to Maj. w p Zant-
Finger. a post Office inspector detailed
to examine paper sent by the Champion
Company. to be used in printing post
cards for the government.
Through Attorneys Ellis and Donaldson
and c. B. Matthews the defendant claims
that each count of the indictment is bad
in substance. The defense claims that
Maj. Zantzinger had no authority or
duty under the law when the alleged
bribe is said to have been offered. nor
since, to inspect, reject or accept the
paper furnished by the Champion Coated
Paper Company to the public printer;
that the inspector had no authority to
exercise any official function in respect
to the contract or with respect to the
paper furnished under it.
The claim is also made that under the
law in force on the day mentioned in the
Indictment there was and could be no
question or matter in relation to the
contract between the company and the
public printer or in relation to the paper
furnished hereunder pending before and
by law brought before Maj. Zantzinger
in his official capacity. On the date
mentioned. it is claimed. Maj Zantzinger
was not an officer of the United States
nor a person acting for or on behalf of
the United States jim any official function
with respect to the contract TO furnish
the paper for post cards
