Mr.. Bridget. of Parker, Bridget &
Co., declared that he felt the matter
should be taken up by the mercantile
associations to fight out in the interest
OF the cities.
Il do not believe that Individual ac-
ton can accomplish anything. How
ever. we are getting figures together to
show the extra expense imposed by this
shift, and we expect to know more
about this situation soon"
Robert Berberich, of Berberich's, said:
Il am ready to unite with the Retail
Merchants Association and the Cham
Der of Commerce in their action against
this proposition. Furthermore, l be-
lieve we can get the Pennsylvania free
city delivery continued"
Chaplin Sacks Opinion.
Samuel C. Redman, of the Chaplin
Sacks Manufacturing. Company. said:
Il think this question should be taken
to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
1t is a pubic question. because in
creased freight charges mean a hard
ship on the public, and only by airing
such things before the commission can
relief be obtained. While / have no
figures directly at hand, l believe it
would cost hundreds, and perhaps thou
sands. of dollars extra in our own busi-
ness If we are forced to do our own
drayage."
Paul Dulaney. attorney for the Po-
tcmac and Chesapeake Steamboat
Company, declined to discuss the sub

VALUE OF POTATO
TO FATTEN PIGS
Expert at Eastern Oregon Ex-
pertinent Station Gives Re-
suits of Test.
(By ROBERT WITHYCOMB of Eastern
Oregon EXperiment Stationl

(By ROBERT WITHYCOMB of Eastern
Oregon Experiment Station)
An experiment to test the feeding
value of raw or steamed potatoes as
supplementary feed with a grain ra-
ton has been carried on with inter-
esting results.
rhe hogs in the experiment were di-
vided into eight lots and records of
the different feed given each and the
proportionate gains made were kept
carefully. Each hog in lots l and 2
ate an average of 1908 pounds Of
barley and 509.53 pounds of raw po-
tatoes, making a gain in weight of
60.70 pounds. Those in lots and
ate 1000 pounds of barley and
663.75 pounds steamed potatoes, and
made a gain of 70.60 pounds, while
those in lots and 6 ate 1880
pounds barley and 564.S0 pounds
steamed potatoes and made gain Of
1910 pounds. Lots and ate 300.10
pounds barley without potatoes and
made gain of 69.5 pounds.
The last two lots, fed barley alone,
were used as check on the others to
show more definitely the proportion
ate value of the potatoes. At the
present market value of cents a
pound live weight, the hogs fed barley
made 1887 gain, which makes the
barley feeding value $1.62 to the hun
dred
Lots 1 and 2 fed barley and raw
potatoes at the rate of three pounds
of potatoes to pound of barley, made
a $4.25 gain, which gives the raw
potatoes a feeding value Of 29 cents
to the hundred. Lots 3 and receiv-
ing six times as much steamed pota-
toes as barley, made $4.94 gain,
giving the steamed potatoes feeding
value of At cents to the hundred.
Lots and fed three times as much
steamed potatoes as barley, made a
$5.47 gain, making the feeding value
of the potatoes AZ cents to the hun
dred.
1t is noticeable that those fed six
times as much potatoes as grain did
not make quite the gain made by the
others, but it required 1925 pounds
less barley to make this gain, SO the
difference in feeding value is ac-
counted for.
1t is also noteworthy tina: the steam
potatoes are worth 13 cents more to
the hundred than raw for feeding, as
shown in the comparison of the gain
of animals fed the 3-to-1 ration.

What do you think of the man whom

Hav@ you ever noticed that the first

is to go straight to the watering

Contrary to the general belief, it
does not hurt a horse to give him
water in moderate quantities even
when he is very hot, providing the
water is not very cold.
Never salt the horses feed in the

One woman has converted a hall
room into the daintiest of tiny IL
Ibraries. On one side is a set of
shelves for books. The walls are
covered with blue damask of very
delicate shade. The ceiling is blue,
with a conventional pattern of white
trailing vines dropping gracefully
down to half-length. The rug is delft
blue, and the room contains one chair
upholstered in delft-blue brocade. A
small mahogany table holds a tele-

outfit. A small lamp hangs from the
center of the ceiling, and it has blue

dants. When lighted, it throws a
beautiful glow over the little reading

CAUSE OF GAPES

Gapes is disease affecting certain
birds, fowls, and particularly chicks

by small worm, called the gap
worm, which attaches itself to th
windpipe of it's victim
The symptoms are frequent gapin

wings. Dead birds will show forke
worms attached to the windpipe.

EYEBROWS NEED CARE
Add So Much to the General
Charm That No Woman Can
Afford to Neglect Them.

1t is an acknowledged fact that pret
ty brows add much to the general
charm, and it is odd that women ex
pect to- enjoy this feature at its best
when they do not take care Of it. They
would not expect either teeth, nails OF
hair to grow in perfection were they
not taken care of, and the same applies
to the eyebrows. They need massag
ing and shaping frequently. Failing
in this, there will be scraggy lines OF
coarse, projecting hairs, the latter one
of the most conspicuous disfigurements
woman can have.
I have often noticed women with ap
parently good hair, teeth and complex
ion entirely unmindful Of the fact that
the eyebrows were sticking out in all
directions. A woman is greatly repaid
for the few seconds she spends when
her toilet is complete in shaping her
eyebrows by the improvement in her
general appearance.

there should be a downward stroke

delicately penciled effect of the eye.

One-half ounce of oil of sweet al

it is desired to improve the growth,
a quinine tonic may be necessary, and
for this find that two ounces of al

a day into the roots makes a decided
improvement.
No matter from what cause the
brows become thinned, never cut them
with the idea that it will improve the
growth. Good and faithful massage is
the only thing that will help. Cutting
will only coarsen them and they may
become stiff and bristly after being
cut. However, the eyelashes may have
an infinitesimal portion clipped from
