WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF HIM
Remark by No Means Complimentary
Made by Constituent Of Repre-
sentative Underwood.

Representative Underwood, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee in congress, represents what Ia
known az manufacturing district"
because 1t contains all the factories
and smelters In and about Birming-
ham. Ala. But he also has among his
constituents a lot Of farmers-of which
fact he is now PAINFULLY aware.
He drove out to q settlement In
Bib county one afternoon to persuade
the farmers they ought to vote for
him. AS he stopped up to the porch
Of little store an old man rushed up
to him with the request:
Please sign this paper It's a petit
ion to Congressman Underwood to
have a young lady postmistress here"
I'D be glad to sign It," said Under
wood politely; but as I'm not a resi-
dent Of this community, my name
wouldn't help you"
'Oh, yes, 1t would" the old farmer
assured him. We're getting every
body to sign 1t, strangers and all

Red Cross Chrirmas Seals.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
will this year for the first time be ma
tional agent for the American Red
Cross In handling the sale of Red
Cross seals. A new national office has
been opened in Washington, and an
initial order has been placed for 50-
100000 seals, although 1t is expected
that double that number will be sold.
The charge to local agents for the
seals will be 1914 per cent. of the gross
proceeds, the national agent furnish
ing the seals and advertising material,
and taking back all unsold seals at the
end Of the season. Postmaster Gener-
al Hitchcock has approved of the de-
sign OF the seal. Owing to the fact
that many people last year used Red
Cross seals for postage, the post office
department has given orders that let
ters or packages bearing seals on the
face will not be carried through the
mails.

this, turned the gas even lower.

POULTRY NOTES.

The shady hooks are relished by the
hens.
Lime water Is a healthy drink for
young turkeys.
Let your young chicks have all the
sunlight possible
Be sure that the ducklings have
plenty shade and water
A portable poultry house is an ad
mirable arrangement for young tur-
keys.
Kaffir corn is an excellent ration for
poultry If fed in connection with other
feeds.
Cleanliness is an essential sanitary
condition for all animals, but particu-
larly so for birds.
Scraps from the kitchen are not
very acceptable to turkeys. They like
all their food fresh.
Keep the dust box supplied with
nice clean dust, and see that the grit
box Is never empty.
1t is always undesirable and unnec-
essary to feed condiments to hens to
stimulate them to lay.
Do not hold cockerels for market
too long after they reach the weight
Of four or five pounds.
Oyster shell is absolutely the best
sheIl-making food for the hens. Keep
it before them constantly.
The poultry house should be con-
structed with view to its frequent
easy and thorough cleaning.
1t is best never to attempt to bring
turkeys up In the muck yards. or let
them associate with old fowls.
One of the first problems which the
poultryman is called upon to solve is
the location of the poultry plant.
A ten dollar rooster is generally
cheaper than a two dollar one. The
good blood will tell the second year
The ventilation Of the poultry house
should be provided for In such a way
that draughts OF air will not strike
the birds.
| The roost and nest boxes should be
movable. so that all parasites which
collect upon them may be reached
and destroyed.
The conditions required for the
maintenance Of health and vigor In a
flock OF fowls are similar to what are
required for other animals.

FOOD AGAIN.
A Mighty Important Subject to Every
One.

A Boston lady talks entertainingly
OF food and the changes that can be
made in health by some knowledge on
that line. She says:

anhood left me subject to severe sick

thing. Then he had to know his guests
and cut accordingly. A lord. for instance,

in slices. The same procedure with pig.
The rank of the diners decided whether
it should appear at table in gold leaf or

there was difference. New or three
days old baked was at the discretion of
the carver as he sized up the visitors.
And for the apportioning of the It'd

no end. The old-time carver. in fact, was
born and then made.
