BE CAREFUL OF LATE CHICKS

The cold, wet spring brought failure
to many sections. Eggs were chilled OF
low In fertility, hens refused to be
broody, many fanciers did not set eggs
on account of the weather, and the
chicks Matched by hens and incubators
had a fight for life; hence Matching has
been continued later than usual, and
II these late chicks are properly cared
for they will pay handsomely, for con
ditions will make prices for eggs and
market poultry higher than ever.
Late chicks should have range
shade, and, where heat kills heritage
grown green's should be supplied.
Meat or milk must substitute for
insect life killed off, and fresh water
should be plentiful and pure
Houses and breeders must be kept
clean and cool, and vermin that multi
ply so fast In the summer must be
fought hard.
Little corn, but much protein. the
builder, should be fed. Buttermilk and
skimmilk should be used in preference
to beef scraps, that so deteriorate in
the heat and cause much mortality
Spring is the fowls natural breeding
season; then eggs are more fertile
give stronger chicks, the chicks have
more natural food, and lice do not
breed fast He who would raise late
chicks well must study the situation
and meet the unusual conditions that
confront late birds. and he can win
success and get the gains if he takes
the pains.

James G. Smith, Former Broker,

Man Fills Pockets With Sand SO They

With Their Wrists Tied
Together.

Waukegan, Ill-Their wrists bound
together with handkerchief, his left
wrist tied to her right, the bodies of
man and woman were found float
ing in the shadows at the shore of
Lake Michigan near Waukegan. They
were James G.. Smith, formerly a
wealthy real estate broker, and his
wife.
They committed suicide Wednesday,
the silver anniversary of their we'd
ding. and all the silver they had left
was in the mans pocket. There were
two dimes.
Marks found on the shore told a
graphic and pathetic story. On
Wednesday afternoon the couple
dressed carefully and walked to the
lake shore. They were seen by G. F.
Ingall strolling arm in arm along Sher-
idan road.
They sat down on the beach and
removed their hats and looked out
across the lake. AS they talked to-
gether the man picked up handfuls of
sand and filed his pockets with it,
burying his two dimes in one pocket,
and burying four pennies in another.
There are little hollows in the beach.
and finger marks that show where he
scooped up the sand. Sand is heavy.

There is little Back Bay girl who

of the epistle she looked up and said:

Child Taken to Hospital to Pre-
vent Suffocation.
Boy Pulls a Kettle Over His Ears In
Play and Efforts of Ten Physi-
clans Are Needed to Re-
lease Him.

New York.-It took physicians and
nurses in Bellevue hospital more than
half an hour to remove an iron pot
from the head of Peter Szusca, two
years old. Young Peter was pretend
ing that the pot was hat, when sud-
denly it slid over his ears and nose
until the rim touched his neck. Then
Peter began to yell.
His mother, Mrs. Jennie Szusca.
heard the cries reverberating in the
pot and ran into the room in which
Peter had been playing. She could
not see the lads tears, for the pot
covered his face, and so Mrs. Szusca
thought at first he was laughing. She
said it was hard to tell whether per-
son with pot over his head was
laughing or crying on account of the
weird noise that echoes from the pot.
So the mother laughed too.
When she thought Peter was becom-
ing too hilarious she attempted to
move the pot, and it wouldn't come
off, and Peter yelled something that
sounded, in infantile idiom, like sit

seemed to hold. Then she summoned
George Deyer, a neighbor. Deyer's at
tempts were futile, and he suggested
that plumber should be summoned.
Meantime Peters walls began to
Szusca became frightened. Some one
was said to have sagely suggested that
Peter should be taken to cold stor-
age plant, turned INSIDE down and wa
ter poured into the pot; the water
would freeze, and the pot would be
broken by the bullying ice. But Mrs.
Szusca said that the hospital was
the place for Peter. She wrapped the
pot up in shawl, and took it, with
Peter still attached, to Bellevue. In
the hospital DR.. Savok took mother
and child to a ward and tried to pull
the pot off. The pot wouldn't bulge.
Several nurses came in to assist, but
the pot was tenacious.
Well have to get a tinsmith at
once. said the physician.
A tinsmith was not available. Then
a nurse suggested that soap suds on
the pots insides might ease it off,
Peter was placed on his head and suds
and soft soap was poured into the pot
The pot remained obdurate for half an
hour, but finally the soap had the
proper effect and Peter was released
from his iron prison.
Peter was none the worse for his ex-
perience, and soon went to sleep in his
mothers arms.

The M,ddle-Aoed Woman.

OF the many ways in which the mid
dle-aged woman may vary the effect
of her afternoon gowns none is SIM
pier than the use of collar and cuffs
Of white wolfe edged with scalloping
an dembroidery in floral design. An
other change may be the frock set OF
white chiffon with border of black
malines, and still another is the one OF
black net hemstitched with silver
thread. Some Of these collars are so
long in front that they terminate only
at the waist line, where they cross in
surplice effect and are tucked away
under the girdle. An excellent model
of this sort is of light blue lawn en-
broidered with black dots, and a Sec
ond is of white agaric trimmed with
tiny folds of broadcloth, alternating
with eponge.

COUPLE END LIVES


Mrs. Smith carried a parasol as the
two set forth on their last stroll.
When they reached the beach she
stuck it upright in the sand, and it
was found there, with her hat and her
husbands lying beside 1t.
Mrs. Smith had no pockets to fill
with sand. So her husband loaded
his own pockets heavier, and then tied
one corner of large handkerchief to
her wrist. She tied the opposite cor.
ner to his wrist. And they walked
down into the water.
Footprints on the sand showed that
the couple had not hesitated when
once they started-the prints led a
straight path to the waters edge.

this preparation to keep flies off cows:
Take 2 bars Of common laundry soap
and dissolve in warm water. To this
add III pounds Of resin, crushed fine,

water enough to make gallons. When
ready to use add Y pint Of kerosene
oil. Apply with brush or spray pump
about three times a week until the
