FIGHT UNTIL THE END.

Life can be made a success. 1t
is not question Of climbing above
poverty; it is a question Of under
standing life. So many Of us have
been lured away and fascinated by
what turn out to he phantoms and
false gods. We have had to wheel
back and begin over again and fight
along against tremendous odds, and
yet with all that life can be made
success, for success consists in doing
right. in doing the best you can with
what you have. Fight until the end.

When ToIstoy Tried to Fly.

From earliest childhood Tolstoy was
remarkably observant of the things
that were going on in the world around
him Thus. while still in his teens,
we find him taking an interest in the
art Of flying that was too practical to
suit his devoted mother. With char
actcristic thoroughness he invented a
design Of his own and with equally
characteristic courage proceeded to
put it to an immediate test from a
second story window. But the boy.
who was afterward to find food for
thought for the whole civilized world.
was not destined to make his mark
rs an infant aeroplanist. He fell in
Stantly to the ground. and. though by
great good fortune no bones were ac
tually broken. the conclusion was so
great that young Tolstoy afterward
slept for sixteen hours on end.

Knew Just How.

Many years ago in Paris at the hrst
presentation of tragedy that had FOR
its closing scene the murder of Swed'
ish king which had taken place nearly
half century earlier all went well
till the murder scene came on. when Il
very dignified old gentleman IN the
stage box showed signs of strong dis
satisfaction and at length called out
angrily:
Absurd. They've got it all wrong.
The manager himself heard this plain
spoken comment. and. being naturally
disturbed by so sweeping condemna
ton. he sought out the critic and pc
litely begged TO know what fault he
had to find with ii.
"Why, my good sir" cried the old
man. with an air of authority. tine
whole grouping of the scene is incor
rect. You have made them kill the
king to the right of the door, whereas
we murdered him on the left.'

kURIos FROM CORRESPONDENTS

Q.-What effect has age on noting:
What is Il normal melting period:
A.-Thc older a hen the later and
longer her mott. About two months.
Q.-Why do poultrymen use trap
nests? From what | read it is simply
to catch POO egg hens to advertise for
trade
Sensible fancers use traps To
catch the droncs for the cook pot and
to get the egg records of hens so the!
may breed from the best layers an(
thus build laying strain.
Q. What is pip, and what is its cure :
a. Pip is simply the drying or hard
ening Of the upper surface of tn
tongue aud is generally caused 10y air
passing through the mouth instead OF
the nostrils See that the nostrils and
cleft of month are clear. so fowl may
breathe naturally, and apply gycerin
to he scale on tongue.
Q.-My young stock have sore eyes.
They have free range in field and or
chard and show no cold. but in the
morning their eyes are shut. Are they
stung, or what is il:
A.-Chickens on range often get corn
in the milk and sweet apples. The
sticky juice from these often stains
their heads and pastes their eyes shut.
This is likely the cause Of the trouble.
Wash the head and eyes in clear water
and all will be o. X.
Q.-HOw many breeds do you keep
at Riverside? | have been reading
your descriptions of the various breeds,
and you seem to be acquainted with
all of them. If so, how do you keep
them from getting mixed?
Awe do not keep more than one
variety at a time, but have bred many
breeds in our lifetime. There are very
few fanciers who run a rooster me-

Journal Of the Outdoor Life Points
Out Errors i'm tuberculosis Treat
ment.-How Much One Need Eat.
Many traditions with regard to the
feeding Of tuberculosis patients and
with regard to food in general, are
given severe blows ~ a series of
articles published in the October
number Of the Journal OF Outdoor
Life, the official organ OF the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis.
Or. John r. Murlin, Of New York,
Assistant Professor or Physiology at
the Cornell University Medical Col
lege holds in an article entitled THE
Dynamic Principles of Nutrition"
that a consumptive will gain weight
and do well on three pints OF whole
milk, eight ounces or cream, five
ounces of milk sugar, six eggs and
two slices of buttered toast, as a "a
ton for each "a hours. The entire
diet with the exception OF the bread
and butter could be prepared in ad-
vance and served for a cost of about
80 cents the day. Miss Cecilia Flick
of the Henry Phipps Institute Of
Philadelphia, also offers some sample
diets which the ordinary family can
prepare for even less than 90 cents a
day.
DR.. David r. Lyman Of Walling-
ford, Conn, and Dr. Paul B. Johnson
OF Washington, ID. O., both agreed
that the ordinary person eats too
much, and that the old notions
about stuffing tuberculosis patient
at all times and seasons have been
proven false. Or. Lyman holds that
eggs are not necessary article OF
the consumptive's diet, and that tu-
burculosis patient should eat any
thing that agrees with him that Is
nourishing. He thinks that tuber-
cu1osis patient should eat only lit
tie more than a person in ordinary
good health.
DR.. Murlin compares the food we
eat to the fuel used in furnishing
steam and power for an engine. In
selecting our food he says that we
should eat enough to furnish energy
for the days work, but that much
more than this is not needed. He
holds that the appetite il not neces-
sity for good digestion. There is
NO fallacy of nutrition" he says,
greater than that which supposeS
that a food cannot be digested and
utilized without appetite" Most of
the food we eat, fully four-ifths,
goes to supply energy for our every
day tasks, while less than one-fifth
goes to supply building material.
