By JUDGE F. ]. MARSHALL.

What a common thing it is at this
season Of the year to hear persons
complain that a number of their hens
seem out of condition, that they are
found sitting around under the bushes
and trees, and do not lay. that their
combs are pale and shrunken: and
their favorite male bird is not him
self.
This condition is strange to the I'M
observing. But it is perfectly natu-
raj in this season. Fowls are pass
ing into the moult, condition which
lowers their vitality Their circula-
ton is not strong enough to put good
red blood into the combs, hence the
pale, limp appearance Of that part of
the fowl which Is but a barometer Of
the whole fowls condition.
All the blood and energy that can
be mustered is going into the furnish
ing Of the new coat Of feathers. This
means a great strain upon all the
vital forces of the fowl In the wild
fowls the process of moulting covers
a long period of time.
Moulting Comes Gradually.
AS a rule, they lay but one clutch
Of eggs and hatch them, running with
them all through the season. and the
moulting comes gradually, the birds
losing but a feather or two at a time
But man, in his work of forced egg
production. forces the hen to lay as
soon as possible As a result, many
of the hens which have been heavy
layers go into moult in a state Of
semi-collapse from the long contin-
ued strain. Many a good hen is not
able to stand the strain of the moult,
as it comes right after the greatest
laying season of the year
For this reason many an owner is.
called upon TO mourn the loss Of a
number of his good hens. The fowls
have been fed to their capacity for
months to get the increase in egg pro-
duCtiOn
When this moulting comes it is
folly to keep up heavy feeding. The
hen is in no condition to take care of
it, and may die of Indigestion before
she really gets into the moult. Ma
terial aid can be rendered in this
moult by iudicious feeding. Cut
down all grain food to one meal a day
and that at night Omit all mashes
and animal foods Of all kinds,
Green Food Proper Diet.
Give them all the good green food
they will eat-in fact, the more the
better. Have It of appetizng kinds,
so they will get a good deal Of IT,.
1t may consist of cabbage lettuce,
beets etc. all of which would be the
BETTER for being run through a grind
er of some kind.
It may be a regular root cutter, a
shred it up in a palatable condition.
About three times a week feed wheat
bran slightly mOistened with cold
water or sweet milk, feeding just as
much as they win clean up with
relish.
Keep up this method Of feeding for
about two weeks and a half or until
the old feathers begin to fall out
freely when the tactics should be
changed to an opposite kind of food.
1t should consist of good, rich
mashes with plenty Of beef scraps
added and a good proportion of corn
meal The addition of a little flax
seed meal to the mash will help the
feathers to slip. 1t should not be
more than l part to so of the whole

The latest available statistics re-

figures Of the commerce Of the port
Of New York are available for the

ports are not available later than
1911, but these figures. such as they

Mann Starts Laughter.

Representative Mann of Illinois aroused
laughter with this question:
.Is not the gentleman telling what he
will do when he is member OF the
cabinet?
Il have no idea, not the slightest con-
ception of being so honored,' replied Mr..
Sims gravely.
Has the gentleman anybody in mind
who will fill the bill?" asked Uncle Joe
Cannon
Il have nobody in mind, returned Mr..
Sims Il think that within the last nun
dred years Presidents have been preJu-
diced unduly against some people, and
have been persuaded to reward others
uniustlv by reason of the false informa-
ton given them. Where man secretly,
under the guise of friendship. in order to
attain some other end than the public
welfare. gives poor advice. he ought to
hang. lust as did the false advisers of the
king.
therefore, | do not think that such a
position ought to he sought, or that 1t
ought to be lobbied for, or that men
ought to be appointed by reason of their
extraordinary Willingness to serve. but
that they should he selected with refer
ence to the public welfare. with no other
motive than that the public good is to be
enhanced and not the ends of some pri-
vate citizens to be promoted.

The enrolment of women as members

night by President David l.. Selke in an
address at the annual meeting of the
Connecticut Avenue Citizens Association,
at the Army and Navy Preparatory
School Women have been eligible to
membership since the inception of the
association, and Mr.. Seke pointed out
this fact last night and advised that the
membership committee work among the
fair sex.
Mr.. Selke said that although the asso-
citation in the past year had grown in
membership from thirty-two to more than
leo, its membership was still far too low
when the fact is taken into consideration
that there are 1900 to 1900 persons living
in the territory dealt with by the asso-
citation.

AIRS CABINET VIEWS
Sims Advises House on Kind OF
Men President Needs.
WOULD HANG MISLEADERS
Holds Appointments Should Be Made
for Good of People, Not Politics.

Had Gov. Woodrow Wilson been sitting
in one of the galleries of the House of
Representatives yesterday afternoon he
would have heard as fine lesson in
making up a presidential cabinet as has
been presented to the American Con-
gresS for many day. The lesson was
given by Representative Sims of Tonnes
see, who drew his text from something
William J. Bryan had written in an
editorial in the Commoner. The democrats
took the cabinet-making instructions with
great seriousness, and the republicans
asked Mr.. Sims if he were describing
himself. Prominent democrats who have
been mentioned for the cabinet, like
Representative Henry of Texas, Repre-
sentative Burleson of the same state and
Representative Palmer of Pennsylvania.
were all ears and attention and applauded
strongly.
The chapter on cabinet making will
be published in the Congressional Record.
Quotes Bryan Editorial.
In the Commoner editorial, as read by
Mr.. Sims as a prelude, Mr.. Bryan wrote
that cabinet appointments should be made
for the good of the people and not to
repay political debts
whether we be Bryanites or anti
Bryanites." said Mr.. Sims, Il think we
must all agree with the ideas and princi-
pies advocated in that article We see
a great deal stated in the newspapers
about who is to be in the cabinet. i de-
sire to say that the kind of men 1 want
to see in the cabinet are men who will
tell the President the truth though the
heavens fall. without either exaggerating
or minimizing. The President, as it We're.
must look through the cabinet to see the
conditions of the country. The cabinet is
in a way the eyes of the President. When
/ was a youth l read that under the
English law they did not punish the king
for any wrongdoing. but they punished
his advisers and cOachers. ! thought at
the time that it was a great outrage. but
l have since concluded that 1t was very
wise provision of law. Those who get
next to the President and mislead him
should be punished. / would be in favor
of hanging these misinformers."

three men grabbed hold of his throat and
choked him. while another assisted in

Realizing the men We're after his
money, Mr.. Casey put up desperate
fight and shouted for help. His out

saiIants off before they succeeded in get

Mr.. Casey went to the fourth precinct
police station and related the story of
his experience. He said the three men
are about eighteen or twenty years old
He was able to give a description of one

Voices His Views on

Two hearings were held yesterday by
the House rules committee on the militia

Guard Association of the United States
in order to enter a special rule for
early consideration of the measure. Col.
William f. Harvey, commanding the
I'd Infantry, n. G. d. c., and member
of the executive committee Of the as
ISOLATION, addressed the committee in
the afternoon on some phases of the bill
in the light of the Constitution of the

The committee was anxious to get the
views of Col. Harvey on section
of the militia pay bill. which authorizes
the President to transfer to the army
any portion of the National Guard lin
time of war or when war is imminent. or
in other grave emergencies
Views of Col. Harvey.
Briefly, Col. Harvey, after eXpounding
the constitutional idea of the militia,
said:
'.Of course, the United States govern
ment cannot make conscripts of us, and
this passage of the bill is only a con-
tract The government says to all
those who are already in the organized
militia, Let us pay you so much a
month. and then if We need you We will
transfer you to the army.

newspaper man and soldier of note who
died in Washington last week, although
little known to the present generation.
was regarded in many respects as one
of the most remarkable men of his day.
Concident with his death is being re-
called the fact that it was through his
Introduction that Henry NJ. Stanley found
employment on the New York Herald,
which afterward resulted in the younger
newspaper man finding the explorer Lv-
ingstone in Africa.
Col. Tappans opportunity to perform
this service for Stanley. and, as 1t proved.
for the world at large. came about
through his membership in the Indian
peace commission, appointed soon after
the close of the civil war to pacify the
plains Indians, many Of whom had taken
advantage of the fact that the national
troops were occupied elsewhere to make
trouble on the frontier.
Col. Tappan's meeting with Stanley was
only one interesting episode in a life
which was filled with interesting expert
ences. When he died he had passed his
eighty second birthday anniversary, but,
owing to his advanced age and retiring
disposition. he was unknown to the pres
ent generation.
Born in Manchester by -the-Sea, in
Massachusetts, in 1880, he had grown
to ripe manhood before the beginning
of the great war and into decided con-
v1ct1ons against the holding of slaves
in the United States. AS young man he
made the acquaintance of Horace Gree
| ley of the New York Tribune and when
| the anti-slavery agitation in Kansas be-
gan to claim national attention he
sought and obtained an appointment from
Mr.. Greeley to represent his paper on
that turbulent frontier. He spent sew
eral years participating in and recording
the stirring events of the time which
introduced Bleeding Kansas" to the
reading world. John Brown was a per-
sonal acquaintance and Guerilla Guam
