ITALY FOR NEUTRALITY
English Hear of Stand Taken BY Vic
tor Emmanuel.

Paris.--Germany has proposed to
the Italian government that Italy
should receive Algeria and Belgian
Congo as the Price of her active sup
port of Germany and Austria. Italy
nevertheless persists In maintaining
her neutrality.
Rome.-The German government is
using it's utmost efforts to bring about
a change in Italy's attitude in the pres
ent European situation. Direct ap-
peals have even been made to King
Victor Emmanuel, but all in vain. 1t
is asserted officially that Italy, hav-
ing declared her neutrality, intends to
maintain it.
Italy's position as a member of the
Triple Alliance, and therefore an ally
Of Germany, under certain conditions,
has been discussed in every phase,
and the general consensus of opinion
seems to be that the Italian people
would never permit an act of hostility
against France and Great Britain.

ARE ARRESTED

THE UNDoING OF MANY
TOURISTS.
ENGLISH CHANNEL IS MINED
tabIished-Espionage on Army
Movements Suspected.

Washington.-Secretary Bryan an.
nounced that the American govern
ment was in communication with all
its European embassies and legations
and that every effort is being made to
care for Americans in all parts of the
continent. For many days the state
department was unable to communi-
cate with Ambassador Gerard at Ber-
lin, but communication was establish.
ed through Copenhagen. Mr.. Bryan
telegraphed inquiring about Archer NJ.
Huntington, president of the Ameri-
can Geographical Society, and other
Americans reported to have been ar.
rested as spies.
Official dispatches revealed that
many Americans had been arrested or
temporarily detained in Germany
merely on suspicion, that at the first
outbreak of hostilities during the mob
ilization period persons who talked
English were thought to be acting sus-
piciously because they displayed cam
eras and were taking pictures of the
troops or scenes incident to the out
break of war.
Assurances that Americans soon
would be able to leave Germany were
given and the opening Of communica-
ton with Ambassador Gerard is ex-
pected to clear up all doubts on the
subject soon. One of the first mes
sages which came from Ambassador
Gerard was a formal notification from
the German foreign office that most
German ports had been mined and re-.
questing that American ships be warn
ed against navigating in any ports.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Berne observation-disclosures 100000
Austrians, mostly Slavs, and troops of
the Kaiserdager regiment, belonging
to Innsbruck and Tyrol, are near Basel,
on the Swiss frontier. The German
and the French troops are also near
Valois. Switzerland is apparently sat
isfied that Germany will not violate
her neutrality. Strategically, this
would not suit Germany. Neverthe-
less the frontiers are strongly guarded.
Many Germans called for military
dren in Switzerland and some are in
a state of great misery. The German
government has requested the Swiss
not to expel them, promising that Ger
many will see that reimbursement is
made for all expenses incurred incident
to their maintenance. The Swiss gov
ernment intends to assist all foreign
ers in Switzerland provided the bel
1igerents observe the most scrupulous
neutrality.
A dignifed appeal has been issued
by President Hoffman to the people of
Switzerland, enjoining complete neu-
trality and stating that the army will
protect the country against attacks
and will repel the invader no matter
who he may be.
Army Short of Provisions.
London-Reports received state
that the German army Is short of pro-
visions. The Germans evidently count
ed on advancing very far into Belgium
with their front rank of troops and of
Siving on Belgian resources. They
reckoned, however, without Liege and
the spirit animating the men behind
the guns. From the first day of their
entry into Belgium the country ira
versed by the Germans has been bare
of provisions.
The Belgian army, on the other
hand, is quite ready, fully concentrat-
ed, and has taken it's position in front
Of the french army. The first often
sive German movement failed, but an
attack on the Belgian army still is
possible If the Germans can get to-
gether without delay superior forces;
but If they are to move against the
combined and Belgian forces they
must have reserves.

did everything in his power, to prevent
it, using all possible persuasion to
check Russian mobilization"

whenever l have used VinOl for run
down, weak or emaciated patients, they
have been visibly benefited by it. One
patient, a young woman, was so weak

for aid, and was leaning on a friend 8
arm. supplied Vinol to her literally
and in month when she returned to
thank me / hardly recognized her. She
was strong, her color charming and her
cheeks rounded out. These words are
uttered from my heart, in order that
more people may know about Vinol, as
there is nothing makes me happier in
the world than to relieve the sick. -

Such disinterested and reliable testi-
mony should convince everyone of the

FARMINGTON

In the burned district on the main
street, Of Pennington, very pretty
house has been built, and the walls are
constructed of concrete blocks. The arch
itect has made an attractive structure,
and when others start to build, it will be
an object lesson to them.
The old school building has been re.
paired, repainted and made much more
presentable for use az a school building
The inside and outside has been painted
light and servlceable colors, and the Chin
news rebuilt and made safe as we'll. 1t is
the purpose Of the School Commissioners
to have but one teacher during the pres
ent school year; which some OF the peo.
pie think is a mistake against the interest
Of the children. However, they will have
better conditions to attend school under.
than they have enjoyed for twenty five
years past. The windows have been re-
placed with close fitting sash, and the
cold winds OF the winter will not, or il ls
expected that they will not, keep the
children shivering during part of the day
session like those OF last winter. The
County School Commission hauled the
School Commissioners up with a round
turn, and forced them to make improve
ments for the comfort Of the children.
aad every parent should be glad Of this,
for it certainly was needed.
The contract for building the new
Methodist Church will probably call for
a very handsome edifice to replace the
burned structure. The railroad company
made liberal contribution toward the
new building; so we are informed.
Business has been very quiet since the
tomato and fruit season closed.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Don't expect the pullets to lay too early
Perfect maturity is what makes the real
good layer.
Many persons, especially farmers, mis-.
take little round rocks and pebbles lying
about on the ground for grit and think
that this is sufficient for the fowls: with
the result that they do not buy them any
grit. Remember they have hunted over
that same ground possibly for years and
have picked up everv particle OF grit that
II ever contained. You might force them
to swallow these smooth pebbles end
little rocks, but these will not do the
work OF the grit and therefore not bene
fetal. Get them real grit and plenty of
it.
Many build nests that are too small
for the hens and they get mad because
they break the eggs. Still others fail to
supply sufficient nests TO accommodate
the hens and then get mad if they scram
bic the eggs when two or more heue
want the nest at the same time. Don't
do it, What We SOW, that shall We also
reap. Supply large nests and plenty Of
them and thus avoid both dangers.
Lice congregate on fowls that are un
healthy aud ont OF condition. II you
have such bird in your flock, isolate it
at once and correct the trouble 1t will
mean less work in the end.
Bright red combs and wattles are gem
orally a sign of healthy fowls in good
conditions. See to it that your birds are
right.
Skim milk. or for that matter anv kind
of milk, is valuable in the poultry yard
1t is an excellent food for the Young
chicks and growing stock as a developer,
and helps materially to increase egg pro
duction in matured birds
Feed the moltinR hens plenty of lean
meat scraps and sunfoWers; it helps them
wonderfully during this period Keep
before them grit, charcoal and granulated
bone.
There are three good reasons why the
hen eats. First to repair the wasting
tissues Of her body and to make new
ones; second, to keep herself warm; and
third, to make eggs. 1t follows then, that
her diet must be varied and plentiful.
Remember, the last process in which the
hen engages from the food given, is to
make eggs Don't expect her to produce
them unless you furnish the necessary
Ioods to supply all her wants.
1t is necessary at this season OF the
year to watch the birds very closely tor
the slightest trace of colds Colds con.
tracted now and not attended to at once
will surely bring on roup; which in many
,ases means death.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Mrs c. W. B.


Mrs &. W. B.,
4th Lake, n Y.
A-Nour letter is not very explicit in
regards to the actions OF your hens and
it is indeed very hard for me to tell what
is the trouble. But from what descrip
ton you give, | am led to believe that
the birds in question are either suffering
with a sour crop or Indigestion, aud pos
sibiy both The yellowlsh, waterv duid
issuing from the mouth is very often a
sign Of indigestion, but NAV be from
other causes as we'll. The drawing or
twitching of the bird is also a sign of in.
digestion. Pour tablespoonful Of heat
ed milk into the birds crop and give her
teaspOonful OF sweet oil In addition.
keep plenty of good sharp grit before the
fowls at all times. The lack Of this will
invariably cause Indigestion. Feed soft
food for few days and give green feed.
