HALF MILLION TROOPS
TO ENGAGE IN BATTLE

London. Oct. 22.-Half a million men,
armed with the deadliest of modern
war implements, are gathering in
Adrianople today for what military
men anticipate will be q long and
bloody siege.
The Bulgarian army, estimated to
number 100000 men, reinforced by 5O,-
900 Servians, as o as war was de-
clared, began to fight its way in three
columns through the mountain passes
which divide the Balkan states from
Turkish territory. The Bulgars sue
ceeded in driving back the Turkish
outposts.
The Turks already have 100000 men
in position and thousands more are
arriving daily at h front, so that
while their ad~versaries for the mo-
ment have some advantage in numbers,
the two forces when they meet will be
nearly equal.
The drama on which the curtain is
rising is practically cut off from the
view Of the rest of the world, as the
chiefs of staff of the various armies
nave imposed a strict censorship.

IDAHO SEEDS

We learn that Jim Waters, an old
established and progressive seedman
OF Boise, has recently made an nova.
ton in the growing and marketing
OF seeds for Idaho farmers. He con-

seed growers to grow seeds for him
on Idaho soil in order that the
seeds could be acclimated, and has
placed these Idaho grown seeds on
the market under his Waters Syrin-
ga Brand. 1t is claimed that Waters
has further protected the farmers of
this state against defective seeds by
rigidly testing his Syringa Bran,

will close the door on everything in

JUDICIAL WISDOM.

Indiana has good pure food law
and, more important still, it has eff
ficient and active officers to enforce
1t. One of the valuable provisions
OF the Indiana act was designed to
protect the public from the sale of
impure milk. The newspapers have
recently chronicled the fact that an
Indiana dairyman was found by the
state inspectors to be selling dirty
milk The officers purchased some
OF this milk for the purpose of Sc
curing evidence against the dairyman
They found the dirt and the dairy
man was prosecuted for selling filthy
product. When the case came into
court, the attorneys for the milk deal
er maintained that their client was
not guilty of violating the law be-
cause 1t must be shown that the
milk was purchased for human food,
when, as matter of fact, 1t was pur.
chased in this instance for purposes
of analysis. The Judge before whom
the case came sustained the motion
of the defendants attorney and held
that the dairyman was not guilty of
an offense under the Indiana Food
and Drugs Act, The Journal of the
American Medical Association reports
this decision in a recent issue and
says 1t refrains from commenting
on this example of judicial wisdom
for fear of violating the postal laws.

The Amount of Bread From Flour

The Amount Of Bread From Flour
1t is well known that there is a
large variation in the quality and
quantity of bread that can be made
from the same amount of different
brands of flour. This variation is
due not altogether to certain inherent
qualities Of the flour but may be
largely attributed to various methods
and conditions in baking. Some in
vestigators hold that the gluten is
the principal factor in determining
the baking qualities of a flour, but
we know that the asme flour in the
hands of several bakers will not pro-
duce the same quality or the same
quantity Of bread.
Chief among the baking conditions
that affect the amount of bread,
are the percentage of water added.
the length of time allowed for rising,
and the time and temperature of bak.
ing. The percentage of water that
can be added in turn depends upon

ton, containing both large and small
grains absorbs more water than one

1t has been found that because of
differences in these baking factors
the amount of cold bread from each

Meat Shrlnkaee in Electrical Cooking

A recent consular report calls at
tention to the tests at the London
Electrical Exposition which demon
strated that the shrinkage of meat
when cooked in coal range is some
what greater than that of the same
meat cooked in a gas range, and con-
siderably more than when cooked in
an electric range. A leg of mutton
weighing 8 pounds and s ounces
showed shrinkage of 2 pounds and
III ounces when cooked in a coal
range, whereas leg of mutton weigh
ing 9 pounds showed a loss of pound
and A ounces when cooked in an cleo
trio oven. The shrinkage for the gas
oven was Q pounds and 4 ounces on
an Spound leg of Scientific
American.

POULTRY DISEASES

pearance OF disease in his flocks.
Certainly the pleasure of raising
fowls Is soon robbed of its bright.
ness when one bird after another
falls victim to one of the many ills
that they are heir to.
At this season Of the year colds
and roup are very prevalent, an,
while they do not appear to be con-
tagious, they are none the less and
should be remedied before they carry
their ravages through the entire
flock.
The question naturally arises, ARE
the sick birds worth doctoring, If they
are, what is the remedy?" AS to
whether they are worth treating de-
ponds on the bird. There are sick
birds that should be killed at once
and burned. Again there are others
that are worth saving. If they are
to be saved, however, they must re-
ceive immediate and effective treat
ment. The following simple remedy
will prove entirely sufficient
in a large per cent of the cases
where the trouble is a cold orthe in
itial stages of roup.
Prepare a solution of two per cent
permanganate of potash, by dissolving
two ozs. of permanganate crystals
bought at any drug store at about
80 cents per pound in 3 quarts of
water. Keep this solution always on
hand, and when bird shows the
first signs of nose or throat trouble,
take enough of the solution to allow
the head of the bird to be submerged
and put the sick birds head under
until it nearly chokes. Remove the
birds head from the liquid and al
low it to sneeze and sputter, forcing
the liquid into all the air passages.
Repeat this three times before you
let the bird go, and repeat it twice
a day until the bird no longer shows
isgns of the disease. The opera
ton is simple and easily done, and
in the majority of cases entirely suf-
f1cient. Potassium permanagnate is
an excellent disinfectant and can BIZ
given to the birds to drink with the
result that many other cases will be
warded off. When given in the waite
only enough should be placed in the
drinking watre to give it a claret
drinking water to give it a claret
color The birds can be given water
thus treated for three or four days
at time. No other water should be
placed where the birds can get it,
otherwise they will prefer the I'M
lntreated water to that containing
he drug.
This treatment will not remove
he first cause of colds and roup.
This must be born in mind. 1t will
lot offset the bad effects of drafts,
,vercrowding and bad ventilation,
hose factors that cause so much of
he poultryman's troubles. Pre-
'ention is always better than cure,
md the above treatment is only the
to the proper housing of
poultry. A sick hen will not lay,
wen though she Is only little sick.
Neither will she lay as soon as she
tets well, in fact she may never prove
o be profitable bird for breeding
purposes. 1t pays therefore to first
revent the first cause of sickness,
nd secondly to take proper care of
he bird that does become i'll.

Open Meeting A Success
Junior Order Excels Itself In Latest

long since attained a reputation for do
ing things, and their last effort was no
exception to the rule but rather increas-

best, and afforded much pleasure to all.

who impersonated Martha Washington; ;
Mrs. E. J. Hazelton, who related expert
ences in the buying of shoes, soap and
soda water, eliciting much laughter;
Pauline Stafford, Margaret Lake, Arme-

girls, an instrumental duet by A. E.
Danielson and daughter, vocal solos by
Mamie Price, E. j. Hazelton, Miss Ida
Stephenson, Miss Cox and Frank Smith,

a baritone solo. Excelsior Council Band

choice and appropriate selections. And
last but not least by any means came
the refreshments of ice cream and cake
abundantly supplied and served by VIM.
Hauenstein and his committee of able
assistants. Altogether the affair was a
bowling success, and adds another star
to the crown of this progressive Council.
