Washington, ID. c., May 3l.-By
IA decisive vote of ~ to II, the Sem
ate to-day passed the House bill eX-
tending the eight-hour principle to
contracts involving labor on Gov
ern work.
The negative votes were east by
Senators Bradley, Dillingham;, Du-
pont, Gallinger, Hepburn, oliver,
Page, Root, SandersOn and Wetmore
(Reps and Percy (Dem.).
The measure had been before the
Senate several times and had been
fully debated. The discussion to-
day was brief, consisting of state.
ments by Senator Borah, in charge
Of the measure, and by Senator
Bailey Of Texas, and Senator San.
ders OF Tennessee.
Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Sanders op.
posed the bill, the former on the
ground the Government had no right
to restrict the right of any man In
the matter of labor, and the latter
on the plea private concerns could
not continue to take Government
work with the time limit imposed.
The principle involved In the mea
sure has long been contended for by
the labor interests.
1t provides that every contract
hereafter adopted for the Govern
ment requiring the employment o.
laborers or mechanics shall contain
a provision that no laborer or me
chanic, doing any part Of the worl
contemplated by the contract, shall
be required or permitted to worl

dar day.
A penalty of S. Is imposed 10

CONSTRUCTION OF HEN HOUSE
Few Practical Suggestions That VIII
Be Of Much Assistance to the
Poultry Keeper.
CBy ]. G. HALPIN and c. A. oCOCK.
Wisconsin.)

(By J. G. HALPIN and c. A oCOCX,
Wisconsin)
For success in poultry keeping Il
is necessary to have suitable house
which will protect the fowls from in-
clement weather and from their nat
ural enemies.
1t must be remembered that from
the standpoint OF the hen, appearance
makes very little difference, but the
house must be so built and SO ar
ranged that 1t will be a comfortable
place for the hens to live; otherwise
they will not thrive and production
will not be satisfactory. On many
farms the hens are not provided with
a house constructed especially for
them, but are housed in an old build.
ing originally made for some other
purpose. AS rule this sort Of
house is not economical. for, unless II
is constructed especially for hens. II
will seldom be found possible to ~
construct II In such way as to
make economical production possible.
Poultry houses should be located
where 1t is dry and well drained. II
the ground is not naturally dry. II
should be ditched and drained artin-

and the result is that the fowls ara
affected with many troublesome dis
eases.
Houses should be placed SO that
they will not be subject to violent
winds. yet good air and drainage are
essential. A house should never be
placed in a low, damp spot where
early fall frosts are likely to occur.
These places are always cold and un.
healthy for fowls.
One hundred hens will thrive in =
pen 20x20 feet, that is four square feet
of floor spae per hen. but one hen
will not thrive in pen 2x2 feet. In
a large pen each one has a chance to
wander about over the entire noor
space, thus getting more exercise.
Generally speaking, 1t is far cheaper
to build a wide house than q narrow
one. A house 20x20 is cheaper than
house 10x40 and contains as much
floor space for the hens. A house
20 feet wide, however, will be found
Impracticable for some types Of roofs
and will not be found satisfactory
where one wishes to keep a number
of small breeding pens. There ars
several common types OF roofs used
on poultry houses.
Just which style Of roof should be
chosen is largely matter Of personal
preference. but the type Of roof will
be found to influence the cost Of con.
struction to quite an extent.
Wherever there Is only one poultry
house partition is always advisable
as It permits one to keep the hens sep

SERIOUSLY BURNED

Mrs. R. Il. Douglas suffered
painful, though not serious burns
Friday evening, while using gaso-
line in cleaning a garment at her
home south of town. The blaze,
which resulted in Mrs. Douglas
injuries was the result of gas
created by rubbing the garment
with a saturated cloth. the ignition
coming from candle some feet
from where the liquid was being
used. A 5-gallon can full to the top
sitting near was quickly ignitcd
and though Mrs. Duglass' clothes
were already on fire she managed
to carry the can to the porch door
and throw it in the yard before it
exploded, thus saving the home
from the flames. Before Mrs
Douglass had rid herself of her
burning dress, she had suffered
painful burns on both arms and
her body. Mr.. Douglss was in the
field with his farm crew irrigating
newly seeded wheat at the time of
the accident, while the three
children were asleep in their beds.
1t can be imagined how much
more serious the accident might
have been had it not been for thu
lady's ability to act quickly

Repeated Sermons.

The prejudice against the repetition
Of sermons is not universal. good
book repays re-reading and a good
sermon should be all the more valuable
on second hearing. DR.. John Watson

his sermons when minister OF Seton
Park, Liverpool, and found that his
congregation approved OF the prac-
tice. They insisted. however, that the
repetition should be exact. and were
impatient OF variations. In his Life"

Robertson Nicholl tells how on one
occasion, after listening to a repeat
ed" sermon, in which occurred q
simile OF a pool, one Of the congrega-

you described 1t as 'turgid pool, and
I was 80 afraid you we're going to use

have spoiled the whole picture. I
was 30 thankful when you said 'turgid'
