SAND-STUFFED CHICKENS.
Some Poultry Packers Add to Weight
by Feeding With Sand.

WASHINGTON, Nov 13.-The depart
ment of agriculture, after extensive
study of the practice of certain poul-
try packers in feeding chickens with
quantities of sand just before they
are killed. so that the poultry will
weigh more, has issued warning
to housewives to scrutinize carefully
they buy, and to watch the craws OF
the chickens that are being dressed
by the butcher.
The government inspectors have
for some time been Investigating the
practices of certain poultry shippers,
who collect chickens from farms and
kill and ship them in large quantities.
In some of these places the inspectors
found that the practice was to take
the chickens as they came from the
farms, nearly always below weight
or out of condition because of their
being ill-fed on the farms and hand
led roughly on the cars, and keep
them in fattening pens for from three
days to two weeks. The chickens are
fed corn meal and water or finely
ground mixed grains and buttermilk.
This practice is becoming more and
more general and is highly desirable
because both quality and quantity of
edible flesh is increased. 1t is also
profitable, as the cost of care, feed
and interest on the investment nee
essary to add a pound in weight still
leaves a good margin of profit, pro-
vided the fattening is rightly done.
Not content, however, with adding
legitimately to the weight of the
chickens, some of the poultry ship
pers. a day or two before the chicken
is killed feed red pepper, which
makes the chicken have an abnormal
appetite, then they feed a mixture
of fine sand and little corn meal.
The chicken eats this mixture raven
ously and as a result large quantities
of sand are introduced into the craw
and the intestines as we'll. This may
amount, in the case of single chick
en-, to only an ounce or two, but
where thousands of chickens are sold
the aggregate charge for sand be-
comes important. 1t simply means
that the poultry dealer is selling sand
to the consumers at the rate of 20
cents or more per pound.
The housewife should scrutlnlze
the crops of poultry before buying
and make it very plain to her poul-
try dealer or butcher that she will
not pay at the rate of 20 to 80 cents
per pound for an ounce or more OF
sand introduced into the body of
chicken with the view of defraudlng
the purchaser. In fact, she should
rebel against food in the crop, be-
cause, quite aside from fraud, the
presence of food means that the
chicken has not kept as we'll as it
would have kept had it been starved
for twenty-four hours before killing.

Nails Down Lid.

Austin, Texas, Nov. 18.-Two new
liquor statutes become effective at
midnight Monday.
One, prohibiting the shipment OF
liquor into dry territory, makes an
apparent attempt to put grape juice
into competition with intoxicants by
providing specifically for it's trans
portation. Local dealers also are for
bidden to solicit business by letter,
circular or in other manner. Some
lawyers take this to mean that news
paper advertising of liquor may be
stopped in dry territory.
The other law, known as the $3.50
civil closing clause, adds to the re-
strictions imposed by the already ef-
fective $3.50 penal closing law.
Texas also puts into effect II othe;
new laws at midnight Monday. One
puts building and loan associations
under State supervision. A blue
sky" law prohibits corporation stock
sale without a permit from either
the secretary of state or the State
commissioner of insurance and bank
ing. Exceptions to this are COM
panies with not more than 25 stock
holders and fraternal beneficiary or
CARNATIONS.
Other laws will require railroads to
furnish cars to shippers upon written
demand; prohibit the use Of the Lone
Star flag for trade marks, and make
it a misdemeanor for officials of State
educational and charitable institu-
titutions to create a deficit to meet
expenses.

MANY Are Living Illegitimately.

Atlanta, Nov. 5.-The percentage
of couples living together in Atlanta
without the sanction of the church
and law has reached sensational flg-
ures, according to the present grand
jury, and committee has been ap-
pointed to trace the cause and bring
about if possible some system OF
reform
It is stated that the ''fausse men
age' in which the man and woman
do not consider necessary the taking
of marriage VOWS before they become
public, is not only large but also on
the increase in Atlanta; not so large
of course as in the Latin quarter at
Paris. but large enough to be hurtful
to the general morals of the COM
munity.
Pessimists are already saying, OF
course, that the present situation
has an indirect relation to the fact
that the lid was put on vice in At
Ianta a few months ago, and are
quoting world famous scientists and
statisticians to back them up in their
gloomy views.
The grand jury, with this new
situation to face, is considering the
advisability of turning the white light
Of publicity on every one of these
affinity couples, and wherever pos
sible compelling marriage.
They are admittedly at a loss,
however, at the best way to combat
the situation, and are asking for sug-
gestions on the subject.

NO HOUSE MONEY; DIVORCE.
German Husbands Must Pay Or Have
Wages Garnished.

One German housewife at least has
proved that she has legal right to
the regular weekly, semi-montfly of
monthly allowance which her hus-
band is accustomed to make for
housekeeping expenses, says a Berlin
letter.
If he fails to provide her with an
allowance sufficient to conduct the
household in a manner suitable to
the family's station in life she may
proceed against him at law, and the
court will grant an interlocutory de-
cree, under which, if necessary, re-
calcitrant husbands wages may be
garnished.
The foregoing rules of law have
just been laid down by the Supreme
Provincial Court of Brunswick. The
court ruled further that the allow
ance must be paid in advance for a
period of not less than one week.
The husband can not escape his
obligations ito advance the cash by
opening a line of credit at various
shops for his wife. She must be in a
position to buy where she can buy at
the greatest advantage and must
have the money necessary to enable
her to do this.
The case that a man may have a
spendthrift wife is provided for in
the civil code. His remedy, in case
the wife misuses her so-called pow
er of the keys" is to take her house
keeping into his own hands.

Value of q Lawyers Talk.

A young lawyer was defending an
old convict on the charge of burglary
in a state where the the court rules
allow each side one hour to address
the jury. The young lawyer, some
what nervous, consulted a veteran
member of the bar who happened to
be standing near. How much time
do you think I should take up in ad-
dressing the jury?" he asked in a
rather pompous manner.
take the full hour" was the gruff
reply.
ssThe full hour? Why, I intended to
take only fifteen minutes"
taTake the full hour" repeated
the old lawyer"
'.But why?"
Because the longer you talk the
longer you will keep your client out
of Jail. Ladies' Home Journal.

FRESH BLOOD COULD NOT SAVE.
Young Woman from Savannah Dies
in New York of Anaemia.

New York, Nov. 17.-Miss Edith
M. Thomas, senior of Barnard Col.

the TRANSMISSION of blood from four
Columbia students. The girls father
tried vainly to obtain blood from
healthy men, though the Salvation
Army could find none suitable. The
student friends of the dying girl then
volunteered their services, but she
was so weak that the operation prov

TWO MEN ARE HELD.
Archie King and Earle Williams Are
Arrested.

Jacksonville, Nov. 14.-Archie
King is under bond Of $1,000 charg-
ed with manslaughter, and Earle Will
hams a like amount. The latter is
charged with being his accomplice,
in connection with the fatal stabbing
of B. G. McWhite, Jr., here Thursday
night.
The features of the coroner's in
quest held yesterday were the appear
ance of two young women in the
case, as the cause of Jealousy existing
between the two factions of young
men and the statement of King as
to how the fatal blow from his knife
was struck. This, he claims, was
caused by his arm being struck by
McWhite, who was welding a bar of
iron in such a manner that the knife
was brought in contact with the ar
terry of the ill-fated young mans
thigh.
The fight ensued near the home of
the young women where McWhlte
and his companion, R. L. Register,
were calling. King and Williams ap-
pear to have sought an engagement
with the same young women, and
finding the other two men present
the encounter took place. Although
there Is mystery about the method
of the combat Thursday night, which
resulted in the death of one man,
Justice Charles D. Abbott, who con-
Quoted the inquest, felt that the pre-
sponderance of the testimony today
warranted nothing heavier than a
charge of manslaughter against King.

Pacific Establishes
Bureau OF Efficiency

St. Paul, Jan. 23.-To promote the
welfare of patrons and employees of
the company, to effect greater econo-
my in operation, to raise the standard
of individual and department work,
and out of this closer coordination to
derive greater degree of dispatch and
safety in the performance of it's func-
tions, President Howard Elliott of the
Northern Pacific has established a
Bureau of Efficiency under the juris-
diction Of the Operating Department
in charge of Mr.. George T. Slade,
Third Vice President. The headquar-
ters of the Bureau will be at St. Paul
and the official circular creating the
Bureau states that Mr.. Charles T.
Banks will be in direct charge of it.
The circular says, 'The Superin-
tendent of each division will act as the
local representative to whom employees
will offer suggestions and report con-
ditions and practices toward and in
which the Bureau can exercise it's Of
fee of effecting improvement. En-
ployes are requested to confer freely
with the Superintendent on all sub
jects and to make suggestions for the
of the service or work
ing conditions as they now exist
Employees are enjoined in the cir
cular to give the work of the Bureau
their earnest and sympathetic co-ope-
ration, and emphasis is laid upon the
point that every employe ought to feel
a personal interest in the movement
for the benefit, not alone of the pa
irons of the road, but the employe him.
self and his family.
The Northern Pacific already has
the reputati Of operating it's lines
with as low cost as any other road oc
cupying similar territory and working
under similar conditions.

The Fergus county territory is similar
but Fergus county has Lewiston as its
center and several otf er places of some
Importance. Northward in Choteau
county is Benton and westward in Gas
cade county is Great Falls. The Black
feet Indian reservation covers a large
portion of the northern part of Teton
county and here there is much land on
which irrigation work is under way or
planned. The big Teton irrigation prof.
ect lies on the general route of that
part Of the line.
The December announcement of the
purpose Of the road to enter a few
miles into eastern Montana was fol-
lowed by much conjecture in general
railroad circles as to what the effect
would be upon the business of the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Milwau
kee systems as the plan, so far as then
apparent, meant that the Northern Pa
cifc business originating in Glendive
territory would meet with 500 line
competition, that the Great Northern
would meet 500 line solicitation for
business in Valley county, from the
Ambrose extension and that the Mil
waukee would meet it in the same ter
ritory south of the eastern portion of
the Yellowstone river, where the
Northern Pacific would feel it. These
speculative forecasts of competition
that would result are now as relative
ly of minor Importance as were the or
iginal announcements of construction
work contemplated, for the 500, in
work that will begin as soon as spring
opens, is going through Montana from
end to end, and will be competitive
for the business of that state, and a
factor in the largest way in the states
development. Minneapolis Journal.

HOSPITAL OPEN
TO THE PUBLIC
Followed by Big Banquet at
Hotel i'm the Evenine.

For completeness Of detail, the
banquet given at the Jordan Hotel
this evening, in honor of the OPEN
ing of the new railroad hospital,
could hardly be surpassed. 1t could
not have been more of success.
Some 100 people all told gathered
at the spacious tables in the cafe of
the hotel and partook of the hospi-
tality there offered, meanwhile lis
tening to the flow of wit and con-
gratuIations, contained in the regu.
lar rogram, and several extras.
The Hotel Jordan is to be especially
commended for the manner in which
the menu was served. 1t was one
of the incest banquets which this
popular hostelry has put out.
Below is appended the regular
program of toasts, and also the me-

ter bridges and buildings. He was
also highly complimented during the
course of the evening by the ply
slclans present on the excellent
work of supervision which he had
performed on the new hospital
building.
Drs. Chamberlin, Wilson, Balsam,
Altnow and Beach waxed enthusias-
tic over the new hospital when they
were called upon. One and all de-
clared that it was the most complete
structure of the kind that they had
ever seen. DR.. Beach was especially
delighted at the fact that he would
have such pleasant surroundings
under which to undertake his i'm
portant new duties. The doctors
declared that the new building was
model which could be followed
anywhere, size taken into consider
alton.
Mr.. Hughes of the hospital associ-
alton was highly congratulatory on
the way that the people of Glendive
had went after and secured the in
stitution for the city. He said that
IT the same spirit was shown, the
new depot would be but matter of
a short time. Mr.. Anderson in his
remarks said that it was the inten-
ton Of the employees to secure the
old depot for club rooms, when the
new structure is finally secured for
the city.
The banquet did net come to a
close until after the hour of l a. M,
but 1t was such a spontaneous ex-
preston of goodfellowship and hope
for the future of the city and the
new hospital that one and all readily
excused the lateness of the hour.
During the afternoon. the new
hospital was open to visitors and a
great many townspeople took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to view
the splendid equipment OF the new
institution. The sanitary precau-
tions of the building are simply
marvellous when viewed in the light
of the general methods used just
few years ago.
Below is the banquet program as
originally prepared to be presented.

5000 Wells Dug For Irrigation

Topeka. Jan. 27.-Western Kansas
looks like the oil fields Of southern
Kansas and Oklahoma just now on
account of derricks scattered over
the prairies It is estimated by offic-
ials of the Atchison & Sante Fe rail
way that more than 5000 wells are
being drilled this winter. And ev-
ery we'll means from 40 to 80 acres
of land under irrigation during the
hot season of next summer.
''The derricks are as thick in west
ern Kansas as they ever were in the
oil fields,'' said Charles A. Walker,
division freight agent of the Sante
Fe. ''The derricks are similar in
size and shape to those used in oil
fields. They are working especially
in Finney. Scott, Hamilton, Ness,
Logan. Haskell. and Gray counties" !"
The wells vary in depth from 50
to 400 feet and are from IL to 80 in
ches in diameter, depending on how
large the pGmps are. The drills go
down from Is to Sc feet after strik-
ing water and the water is drawn
from the bottom Of the well, SO
there always is sufficient head to the
water to guarantee steady pumping.
