LIFE8oAT RULES MODIFIED.
Recommendations for Less Stringent
Regulations Approved.

A Washington dispatch says:
A number of notifications in the
rules governing lifeboats on the great
lakes. recommended by the steamboa.
inspection service, were approved to-
day by B. s. Cable, acting secretary of
commerce and labor. The summer
season on the great lakes under the
rules, was extended from September
15 until October To- Boats on the great
lakes covering routes not over FIVE
miles from shore and i'm shallow wa
ter. will not be required TO carry the
fun passenger capacity of lifeboats.
In the winter season this class of
vessels will carry lifehoats with capa-
city for 20 per cent Of the passengers,
and i'm the summer time for only 10
per cent In the summer time all 9TH
e. boats on the great lakes viii be
required TO carry lifehoats and life
RATS for 30 per cent Of their capacity.
In the winter time boats navigat-
ing beyond the FIVE mile limit In the

by members of the board that the reg
ulations for salt water navigation arc
too stringent for the great lakes. Lito
preservers, the board held, would be
sufficient protection, in the main. for
passengers on the great lakes.

GIVING CHARCOAL TO FOWLS
Puts Them In Good Condition for
Work and Prevents Many Diseases
Incidental to Season.

Does the average farmer know that
an excellent grade of charcoal can
be made by burning corn cobs till
they turn red, extinguishing the fire
and when dry grinding for mash
feeding for the poultry.
Charcoal is not a food, though
fowls gain in flesh and eggs during
its use; 1t simply puts them and
keeps them in good condition for
work. 1t prevents disease because Of
its great capacity to absorb gases,
acids and impurities. It is an alter
ative, changing diseased conditions
TO normal, disinfecting the diges-
tive tract and toning up the system.
In putrid disease like roup. in fer
mentation like sour crop, in intesti-
nal maladies like diarrhea or cholera,
it is of great benefit. In spring and
in summer, when the fowls blood is
sluggish 1t is needed as a purifier to
ward off diseases incidental to these
seasons.
1t should be kept before fowls in
size to suit their age, and where fowls
refuse TO eat 1t fine charcoal should
be mixed in the mash occasionally. Ii
is best given to individual birds in
five-grain capsules-large doses are
necessary.

while Judge Cooper was conducting

new citizens or prospective new citi-
zens will have their hearings today and
tomorrow
The Jury IN the Mcnere case is still
out. not having come TO an agreement
as Vet. In case they do not report
soon, it is likely they will be called in
and discharged. The case now pend
ing is the suit brought by Margaret
Pekleuk administfatrix. for damages
for the death of her eleven year old
son who met his death by falling into
an abandoned shaft of the old Huron
mine. When the boy rad been miss
inc for some days it was surmised ne
had fallen into the old shaft and Supt
Richards had the shaft drained, pump
ing out the water for a distance of 81
feet. The body was found in a stope
at that depth.
The boys mother brought suit
against the company. claiming it had
been negligent in not having a fence
placed around the pit and secured q
verdict in her favor. This verdict was
set aside by the supreme court and the
case was sent back for re-trial.
The companys defence is that 1t was
not informed Of the condition of the
pit which had been abandoned years
before the present company bought out
the old Huron mine and that there
fore IL was not responsible.

To obtain a supply OF winter eggs
we must have the chicks out early in

Old fowls require less feed than

The walls and roosts should be kept
free from mites, which suck the life-

Cement floors should be well coy-

too hard and too cold.
After the second annual mott hens
are aps to become eggbOund, espe-

When the clean, fresh eggs are gath
