Get Away From the Crowd

Robert Burdette, in a talk to young
men, said:
Get away from the crowd for a
while and think. Stand on one side
and let the world run by, while you
get acquainted with yourself and see
what kind of fellow you are. Ask
yourself hard questions about yourself.
Ascertain from original. sources, if you
are really the manner of man say o
are. and if you are always honest; II
YOU always tell the square, perfect
truth in business details; If your life
is as good and upright at eleven
O'Clock at might as it is at noon; II o
are as good a temperance man on a
fishing excursion as o are on a
S~undy-schooI picnic; if you are as good
when you go to the city as you are at
home; if, in short, you are really the
sort of man your father hopes you are
and your sweetheart believes you are.
Get on intimate terms with yourself
nv boy and believe me, every time
YOU com out of one these private IN
you will be a stronger, bet
fer. purer man. Don't forget this, and
will do you good"

Young DoMny Travellers.

A great many people are surprised

hy express from two hundred to one
thousand or more miles and reach
their destination alive and in good CON
Gition before they are fairly dried off.
But such is the case, and TODAY tba
shipping of day-old chicks has becoma
a leading branch of the poultry bust.
ness. Thousands and thousands of the
little chaps are shipped all over the
world at most all times of the year.
Some people do not know that a
chick, which escapes from the she'll i'm
which it has been a prisoner for three
weeks, will stand a lot of abuse and
live, provided you are too harsh with
il. Nature has provided a supply of
nourishment for the little fellow in
the form of the -yolk of the 2 from
which it is Matched. AS the chick
comes from the shell with the undi-
gested yolk yet in its body, it furnishes
all the food that the chick needs for
the first forty-eight hours of its life.
When the little chicks are packed away
Tor several hours during shipment they
continue to gain strength and are
much better off than if they were en-
posed to the sudden changes of run
ring in and out from the hover of the
brooder. And these are the reasons
why so many are safely SEN and reach
their destination in good condition.
- Ship Them in Baskets,
= After the chicks are Matched and
nicely dried off, they are ready for
shipment. 1 have found baskets to be
excellent for shipping the little fellows
in small lots of from twelve to fifty.
These baskets should be strong and
low, about four inches is the proper
height. l line the basket we'll with
hurlap, and cut clover and chaff is
placed in the bottom. The chicks are
then put in and a cover of burlap.
Sewed Over the top of the basket. A
label, LIVE CHICKS, is sewed on in a
conspicuous place. and they are ready
for shipment. 1 like baskets best for
they are light and easily handled.
If you prefer to ship in boxes make
them of light material and four inches
high, and they should be lined the way
mentioned for the baskets. If any
great number are to be shipped, the
chicks can be placed in boxes contain
ing several decks. Don't feed the
chicks anything for the journey, as it
is Injurious to them.
The shipping of day-o1d chicks has
come to stay. Buying young chicks
will ave you a lot of trouble and mon
sey too. Don't expect to have your
chicks shipped the day after you order
-them.-A. E. Vandervort in Farm and

MESSAGE TO WOMEN

When you are "jusr ready to drop"
when you feel SO weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next mGrning as
when you went to bed, then you need

rundown condition for several weeks,
but two bottles of VinoI put me on
my feet again and made me strong
and well. Vinol has done me more
good than all the other medicine I
eve took"
If the careworn, haggard men and
women, the pale, sickly children and
feeble old folks around here would
follow Miss Dumas example, they,
too, would soon be able to say that

Turkeys Have Chicken Pox.

My Little turkeys have sores on their

Jumps about the size of a pea around

eat heartily. What can I do to pre-
vent my chickens from taking this
disease?
1t is probably common chicken pox.

very little tincture of iodine.
A solution of copper sulfate, one

Washington, April 14.-President
Wilson believes the tariff bill met
the general approval of the country;
that no healthy business will be in
terrupted and that while in most
cases the cost of living will not be
Immediately reduced, the consumer
will feel at once the benefit of re-
duction in the sugar duty.
These views were expressed today
by the president in an open talk with
newspaper men at the White House.
He explained that his main reason
for desiring a reduction was that the
consumer deserved it.
The president declared arrange
ments by which prices were fixed
would surely be made impossible
when a truly competitive situation
was created and that the public
would get the benefit very promptly
in the case Of sugar, because he knew
competitive elements were ready to
contest.
Criticisms, he said, had been re-
ceived from some perfectly legitimate
interests contending that the cuts in
their cases were more than they
could at the present stand. Mr.. VIII
son said he did not see any ruinous
cuts in the bill. He referred to the
fact that members of the ways and
means committee had heard every
person in interest and tnat their
judgments we're based on those hear
ings.
It was suggested to the president
that many Ohio democrats in con
gress felt that free wool would be
ruinous to the wool industry. Mr..
Wilson said he had been trying to
inform himself as much as possible
on that subject, but he did not feel
their fears were justified by facts. He
remarked that he had heard just the
other day that the price of wool was
the same on both sides of the water.
In connection with the sugar tar
iff the president was asked if he
thought sugar factories. both beet
and cane, could operate under free
sugar. He said that he certainly
thought they could, remarking with
q smile that the factories might shut
down for effect for time, but that
they would open for business later,
The president said he hoped TO
open reciprocity negotiations with
various countries as soon as the tar.
ifs bill was passed.
