j, s. ISSUES RULES
FOR KILLING CHICKEN
Department of Agriculture Acts
to Prevent Wholesale Loss
by Spelling.

Experts in poultry handling in the
Department Of Agriculture have issued
report containing advice to poultry
shippers designed to prevent a repeti-
ton of last years heavy poultry loss.
The calamitous dressed poultry season
of 1919, the department report declares,
wrecked many handlers Of poultry, sent
tens OF thousands of pounds of chickens,
turkeys. ducks and geese to the crema-
tory and left the consumers with such
a strong aversion to the taste Of poultry
that reached the market in an on con-
dition that sales have suffered ever
since"
Chicken specialists place the blame
for spelling Of dressed poultry on the
man who kills, picks. chills and packs
the product. The birds are bought alive
and tho railroad refrigerator lines are
absolved by chicken experts of blame
for spelling the meat.
The following advice is given poultry
dressers by the department experts:
Birds should be kept in coops with
only few other birds before killing, so
that they will have an abundance OF
food for twenty-four hours before kill
ing they should be given only water
killing should be done by cutting the
veins Of the neck from inside the mouth
while the bird Is suspended by the feet ;
birds should be dry-picked, not scalded,
and the animal heat must be removed by
refrigeration at from thirty to thirty =
five degrees for twenty-four hours.

probably Chinese, and some other Euro
pean language. either Scandinavian,
or Russian.
The manner of the distribution OF
these bulletins has not been worked
out as yet, but they will. in all prob
ability, be sent to the American consul
lar agencies throughout South America
Previous to the idea of the bulletin,
representative group or American
students who in addition knew how TO
mingle creditably with the chivairous
was sent to South America to attend
Pan-American educational conference
and to drive in the opening wedge Tor
closer relations between the sister
continents. The European war forced
the abandonment Of the conference, but
there is hope that the informal ming
ling Of these students who are from
Leland Stanford, Columbia, Northwest
ern, Georgetown, and Cornell, with the
people Of Chile will awaken a warmer
feeling for the people Of the north.
Educators throughout the United
States are responding enthusiastically
to the suggestion issued from the Blu
reau Of Education, that now is the time
to strengthen the ties between the two
continents. In answer to the request
made by the Venezuelan minister that
some Of the universities offer scholar
ships to students from that republic,
twenty-eight institutions responded
Undoubtedly more than Venezuela can
handle, the number will be distributed

can countries.
A professor in the University Of Ten
nessee has sent out a QUESTIONABLE In
order to find out how many schools
teach Spanish and Portuguese.
Commissioner Claxton has sent out
strong call to the educational world
to emphasize the teaching Of Spanish
civilization, and of the history and the
ideals of the Latin-American countries.
This will not only make this country
more popular with the southern CONT
nent and encourage greater attend
ance in the institutions Of higher learn
ing here instead Of the older schools

One body Of women in London,
among whom are many enthusiastic
mountaineers, and as such know how
shoes should be prepared to stand
wear and tear, have applied to the
war office for permission to supertn-
tend the preparation Of footwear de-
signed for the use Of the men In the
field. They contend that with mix
ture of beeswax, turpentine, and boil

be SO improved as to be absolutely

HOW TO STOP
STRAIGHTFORWARD
Sound Advice From A Well-Known
Physician.

Men and women who suffer from what
they call Dyspepsia, Indigestion or just
plain stomach trouble" usually seek
regular relief in the form of some pepsin
pill or tablet, or other artificial digest
ant. This, experience teaches me, is a
serious error. In nine cases out of ten,
the distress is caused by the develop
ment of acids in the Stomach-formed
by the fermenting of the food. Instead
of a digestant being required, something
should be taken to dissolve or neutraliZe
this acidity, when normal digestion will
follow as a matter Of course This acid
matter is distinctly poisonous and un-
less it is dissolved, digestion merely car
ries the mass of fermenting food from
the stomach to the intestines, where its
poison is absorbed by the blood and
carried all over the body.
If all the great army Of people who
suffer after nearly every meal would
make 1t a point to take a teaspoonful
of Bisurated Magnesia in a quarter glass
of water after each meal, there would
be no formation Of acidity and conse-
uuently no distress or discomfort. Sour,
acid, gassy stomach, heartburn, belching,
bloating, etc, would then be thing Of
the past "Bisurated Magnesia" is a
physicians prescription. 1t is inexpen-
siye and can be obtained at any drug
store 1t Is prepared for just such trou-
BILE and the best proof Of its efficiency
is that it will stop the sharpest, biting
stomach distress in five minutes from
the time it enters the stomach, simply
by dissolving the acids that have been
formed there. Its action Is absolutely
harmless.-Advt.

What War MOUeS Mean
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Estimating
tile nations on the proportonate
basis of British losses. the total
number Of killed, wounded, and cap
tured during the first ten weeks OF
the war is nearly 100000.
The official report Of British
casualties from September 13 to Oc-
tooer &. which has just been issued,
places the number at 1854. Previous
reports have given the British
casualties from the beginning of the
mately 1900. The total British land
losses, therefore. for the. first ten
weeks, of hostilities aggregate about
g. 900.
The British forces fighting on the
Continent are understood to total not
more than 10000 combatants. The
casualties represent l6 per cent Of
this number, and by using 16 per
cent as the basis for estimating the
losses of all the hostile powers. the
total losses are. by minimum reckon
ing. almost 10000.
The following table gives, as nearly
as possible, the number of men
actually engaged on the firing line.
This does not represent the total
under rams. but only the actual Of
fensive strength, in use. There are
perhaps 80 per cent more men now
with the colors who are being en-
ployed for other work than actual
fighting or are being held back. in

approximately the number of COM
batants among whom casualties can
be reckoned:

cept at such times as little babies
tugged at their apron strings for at
tention, saw that a time was at
hand when they could help to give
their country the army II so sadly
needed in the field. These women
could not go to the front and do the
fighting themselves: but they could
take the burden of responsibility
for the welfare Of children from the
shoulders of the fathers releasing
them to answer Kitchener's call.
Then began a campaign to gain
the consent Of the public utilities
to an exchange of men for the army
for women who would take their
places. waged by such advertise
ments as:
IF public bodies, such as tram
ways, railways. and insurance COM
panies, would intimate their willing
ness to substitute for the less skilled
members of their STATS. such as
minor clerks, the wives and sisters
of existing employees. at their hus-
bands and brothers present salar-
les. there would be prodigius boom
in recruiting
Another advertisement read: THE
women of Spain frequently throw
their jewelry into the bull ring. If a
committee were appointed to realize
on 1t, would not the women Of Eng
land cast their Jewels into the ma
tional relief fund?''
Taking advantage of the many de-
partments Of London's dailies, some
of which are frankly headed "How
Women May Be Useful in War
Time" the English women set out
to define other channels through
which they could prove that there
was real economic reason for their
existence. aside from the purely bio
logical fact that they are necessary
to the end Of populating the world.
