ATTACK ON LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Former Premier Of France Makes
Strong Denunciation Of Formld-
able Enemy Of Social Peace.

Georges Clemenceau, former pre-
mier Of France, who was one of the
candidates for the presidency, has sur
prised Paris by strong denunclation
OF the liquor traffic as a peril to the
nation. He has written the fre!ace
of n pamphlet devoted to a general
economic study of alcohol, which has
just been laid before the Paris Acad-
envy OF Medicine. He deplores the fact
that the state seems powerless
against this most formidable enemy
of social peace and general welfare"
His words are thus translated:
To-day 1t is beginning to be under
stood that the right to poison people
cannot properly be regarded as one
Of the achievements of the French
revolution. Universal suffrage would
really put itself out OF court II II had
succeeded in emancipating itself from
the yoke OF a single tyrant. only to
fall under the sway of league of
private interests which are in open
warfare with the public interest All
we'll intentioned men, without distinc-
ton of party, ought to join in a COM
mon effort for the salvation of our
country which is menaced from so
many directions at once"

ultimate Success.

When a movement or reform pro-
ceeds in its progress past a certain
stage, the dictates of reason as well
as the record OF history fairly inform
US that that movement or reform Will
come to successful Issue. When a
movement abides the Buffeting OF early
persecution and projects itself from
year to year with a persistent and in
creasing power, It is only question
of time when It will win universal
recognition. II is thus that all believ-
ers in a saloonless nation are conn.
dent of ultimate success.-Northwes

JUDGMENT NEEDED
WITH LATE CHICKS
Late Hatched Fowls Must Be
Hurried in Their Growth
Fast as Possible.
CBy MRS. A. ]. wILpER.l

June is busy month for the farm
poultry raiser and the days are hard
ly long enough to do what must be
done with the poultry and in the
garden.
The long, hard winter and late, wet
spring have thrown us all behind In
the work of both. This will cause us
to hatch more late chickens than we
otherwise would and means extra
care and trouble to bring them to
maturity before cold weather catches
them. This can be done. but requires
care and good judgment. Late hatch
ed chickens must be hurried in their
growth as fast as possible and still
must not be overfed so that their d.
gestion Is injured. Indeed this is the
problem In all chick feeding.
For all chicks, late or early, the
same rule holds for the first feeding.
after Matching. Some say thirty-six
or forty-eight hours, but l think that
leaving the chicks 80 long without
nourishment weakens them and is as
bad as feeding too soon. Twenty-four
hours Is my rule and then l feed only
a little, as much as they will eat up
quickly.
For the first feed give bread
crumbs and hard-boiled eggs, mixed
together and moistened with sweet
milk or water. To this add a little
clean sand. Be sure the feed is not
sloppy, but just crumbly.
Little chicks should be given all
they will eat up clean every two
hours. giving the first feed as soon
after daylight as possible and the
last just before they go to sleep for
night.
After two days / feed oatmeal and
cracked wheat and little fine corn
for the greater part OF the ration,
still however. giving them the bread
crumbs for one or two meals a day
The bread crumbs I soak In milk
and then squeeze them dry.
Fresh water and chick-sized grit

Jim Harris is a typical southern
negro of the old school. Attached to
Senator Overman's Capitol retinue,
he is entirely safe in his position.
Nevertheless there are those who
tease him over the adverse possibili-
ties in view of prospective changes
under the new Democratic regime.
Jim always meets such bantering
with good-natured asseveration of his
confidence in holding on. In the
course Of one Of his discourses on
the subject he undertook to explain
the reasons for his assurance.
Use defunct and destinct," he said,

How much better 1t would have
been to have carefully driven these
fowls back into the yard and at once
repaired the fence.
Verify the contrairiness OF the hen
is not in it with the contrairiness and
stupidity of some of the attendants.
A common cruelty is to overcrowd
the flock, especially In close badly
ventilated houses. Allowing the sup
ply Of drinking water to run out and
placing the drinking vessels In the
Vsun are also cruelties practiced by
shlftless, lazy people.
Many acts of cruelty can be named
in the methods employed in breaking
up broodiness in hens. For instance.
dousing them in water tying them by
one leg to stake or throwing them
into a yard OF young cockrels to be
knocked about right and left are all
practices that should be stopped
Broodiness is a provision of nature
for rest and certainly the industrious
hen deserves 1t. But, If 1t is wanted
to have her change her ideas or con-
dition, the only humane way is to
place such In separate house where
there are no nests or male birds and
allow them to have the fever gradually
pass off.
For some years back it was the
custom to sell the little NEWLY
hatched) chicks at the poultry shows
and also at large bira stores around
Easter time.
These innocents were bought by
fond parents for their little tots and
carried to their home In pasteboard
boxes. Without the proper brooder
heat, or the right kind of food these
little things would be fairly tortured
to death: quite often from rough hand
ling of the cute baby"
Anything that will inflict needless
pain or make the fowls uncomfortable,
should be punishable. 1t is surprising
how many people who otherwise are
kind-hearted and good intentioned will
not stop to think that their very acts
are uncharitable and unchristianlike.

should be kept before them from the
start. Finely cut dry bone should
also be kept In boxes where they can
help themselves
After few days / allow the chicks
to run with their mothers and feed
them only at morning and night At
this time, though, put out the feed
coop for them. This coop is Slated
around so that the little chicks can
go in but the large chickens can not.
In this / keep some of the oatmeal,
cracked wheat, and corn chop, also a
dish of water and one of cut bone,
chick grit, and fine charcoal, so that
If the old hen brings them up at noon
as she usually does they can eat and
drink and help themselves to what
ever they may need from the other
box.
Coops where the chicks hover must
be kept perfectly clean. AS have no
floors in my coops, | move them ev-
cry day onto fresh ground, being care
full not to set them In a low place
where a rain in the night would
drown my chicks.
There must be plenty of ventilation
in the coops as fresh air is necessary
to the health of the youngsters. Sew
eral times while they still hover in
the coops | dust them with insect
powder, rub a drop of oil into the
down on their heads, and rub their
legs with vaseline. My hen houses
and coops are in the orchard and
when the chicks prefer roosting in an
apple tree to going into their coop.
they are allowed to go into the trees
and roost there until cold weather In
the fall. My efforts are all to keep
the chicks clean, busy, and growing.
and they get their growth quickly.

MAKE FINEST FIGHTING MEN
Most Pressing Enemy to Be Encoun-
tered by United Kingdom 10
Drink, Says WolseIey.

The recent death and public burial
in st. Pauls Cathedral, London, OF the
noted soldier, Lord Wolseley, recall
his outspoken attitude on the tenn
perance question, In 1870 he carried
through his Red river expedition on
rigid lines of total abstinence. OF
the Nile campaign he reported "all
the troops for months without beer or
spirits" the result being that as one
of the officers declared, they we're the
finest fighting men it was ever any
mans lot to command" In 1893 Lord
Wolseley said: There are yet many
great enemies to be encountered,
some great battles to be fought by the
United Kingdom, but the most press
ms enemy at present is drink"

CLOUDED BRAIN
Clears Up on Change to Proper Food.

The brain cannot work with clear
ness and accuracy, If the food taken is
not fully digested, but is retained in
the stomach to ferment and form
poisonous gases. etc. A dull, clouded
brain is likely to be the result.
A Mich. lady relates her experience
In changing her food habits, and re-
suits are very interesting:
"A steady diet Of rich, greasy foods
such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and

sound and strong, and medicine did
no apparent good in the way of relief.

Original Sort of Ham.

A lady gave luncheon recently and
explained that she always cooked ham
by the recipe used by Thomas Jeffer-
son, which had been handed down In
her family for.years.
This recipe required that the ham
be cooked for about two, hours by
simmering, but, under no condition
must it be allowed to boil.
A ham was on the stove, It's des-
TIMES presided over by a young col
