CAREFULLY GULL ALL RUNTS

- Birds Show Pronounced Symp-
toms-Feed 10 Wasted.

There are sure to be Q few runts
in every flock, no matter how hard
the breeder may strive to guard
against them. Usually these runts

ner in which they carry themselves
when moving around shows that they
can be nothing but runts when grown
up. No matter how hard you try or
how much feed you put into them.
they will be nothing but runts. The
feed and time taken to make their
growth will be practically wasted, az
the birds will never sell for one-tenth
what 1t cost to raise them.
Usually the best way Is to kill them
as soon as they show pronounced
symptoms Of being runts. It may ap
pear cruel, but 1t IL better for the
birds and certainly better for the
grower. Removing them puts them
out of their misery and insures that

sRocApED SATIN
BREAKFAST JACKETS

Brocaded satin breakfast jackets Of
novel style are among the recently
designed garments of the type that
are easily made. The straight cut
back and fronts. barely covering the
hips, are scanned only across the
shoulders and under the arms, and
the neck, fitting close about the
base Of the throat is trimmed in
Mandarin fashion with q two inch
fiat band of the material catstitched
at both edges on to the Jacket.
The Mandarin sleeves Of seven
eights length are exceptionally wide
below the elbow and at the top are
gathered at either side Of the shout
der seam and a tribe toward the
front and back into rather large arm
eyes. All the edges of the garments
are simply finished with very mar
row hem, cat stitched at its top and
as the fronts are blind hooked, the
finishing of is q matter Of An hours
work. Made up in white, cream, pale
blue, rose or maze satin brocade,
these breakfast jackets are dressy

Pure Bred Poultry.

Despite the constant preaching of
experts, 1t is safe to say that most
OF the chickens of the country are Just
Observation-Disclosures. 1t would be i'm
possible to classify them as breeds.
There are some farmers who claim
that crossbred or "nobred' hens lay
better, and consequently pay better
than thoroughbreds.
The farmer who keeps pure-bred
stock can also sell uniform product
when he disposes of surplus stock, old
hens. broilers, roasters, etc. A mixed
crop Of chickens presents an appear
ance of inferior quality, and will never
take the highest quotation
Another advantage Of keeping pure
stock is that one can sell eggs fol
hatching-at time when market eggs
sell for the lowest prices-at very
reasonable figure.

CARE FOR POULTRY DISEASES
Ono Important Thing Is to Isolate All
AIiIng Fowls to Prevent Infection
of Whole Flock.

Poultry diseases usually are not 80
very hard to handle, II they are under
stood, and hens are cared for properly.
One important thing Is to isolate all
diseased birds. 80 they will not infect
the rest of the flock.
Here are the common poultry dis
eases and the remedies:
Colds and Roup--Disinfect drinking
water as follows: To each gallon of
water add the amount of potassium
permangate that will remain on the
surface of a dime.
Chicken Pox-Apply touch OF 10
dine and carbolated vaseline to each
sore.
Gapes-New ground and vigorous
cultivation will often remedy this
trouble.
Scaly Leg-Apply vaseline to af-
fected parts, and after "a hours soak
In farm, soapy water. Repeat the
treatment until cured.
Diarrhea in Hens-Low grade wheat
-four or middlings is good for this
trouble
Bowel Trouble in Chicks-Well-boil
ed rice mixed with little charcoal
will often check this complaint.

Will Operate System In Connection With POstOf- fice-Step to Acquire Telephones In America.
By c. E. STEWART.

Washington, August 21.-(Special.) ] Indications that the postoffice depart ment. if not the administration itself, is moving toward government owner ship of the telephone business cropped out today in disclosure that plans are being laid for an experiment in gov ernment ownership on a small scale. According to information from high of ficial sources. plans are afoot for the government to acquire control of the telephone business in Porto Rico and to run it in conjunction with the postof- flee department.
 This experiment, it is explained, would have been tried in the Philip pines but for the fact that the post office business in those islands is main tained and controlled by the Philippine government and not by the continental United States
 Ever since the virtual acquisition of the express business, through the par eel post, Representative David l. Lewis, father of the parcel post" has been aching for the government to acquire the telephone and telegraph systems ter General Burleson is in full accord with Lewis in this ambition. Among the objections raised to the acquisition of the telephone business, however, has been an argument that it would pro-

Comments On Conclave

Rome, August 21.-G0.l5 D. m. m.)-The Messaggero, commenting on the com ing conclave for the election of a suc- cessor to Pope Plus x, says that prob ably the Italian cardinals will join the French. English and American groups in choosing a candidate, while the Spanish cardinals, headed by Cardinal Merry Del Val, will adhere to the Aus ro-German compact. This would re- suit in the choice of an Italian candi- date.
 The paper says the most probable candidates among the Italians are Car dinal Ferl'ata. who is considered favor ably disposed toward the French; Car dinal Maffi. who has German tenden- cies, and Cardinal De Tai, who is sup ported by a small group favorable to continuance of the policy of Plus x.
 Cardinal Agliardi Is considered too old the Messaggero says. Cardinal Ferrari does not wish to leave Milan and will advise his supporters to vote for Cardinal Maffi.
 The paper continues that the forma- tion of three other groups is foreseen. The first desires that the direction of the church shall not contrast too much with the modern world. and it's aspira

 Mrs. ]. P. Smythe: With the price of necessities almost doubled, every boarding house keeper in the city will be compelled to raise the price of board or so into bankruptcy. They cannot exist with the prices of food stuffs going up. or rather which have already gone up, unless there is a ma terial advance in the amount paid for board.
 ''l have been operating a boarding house for the past six years and dur ing that time the price of foodstuffs has increased from 25 to 90 per cent with not one penny increase in the price of board. We run on close margin and there are few boarding house keepers who, even by practice ing the most rigid economy, make more than a bare living. With the sudden and tremendous increase in the price of some of the food commodities, it Is simply impossible to break even. no matter how hard one strives. Boarders demand a good table and the best of service, and a woman who undertakes to furnish the same for the price that was paid five or six years ago is invoking bankruptcy.

THE REOCCUPAT|ON. .OF MUE[HAUSEN BIG. |SUCCESSF0RF FRENCH

Paris. August 21.-Details received here today showthat the reocc1pation of Muel hausen was a great success The offen- sfve, first along the line from Thann to Dannemarie (DammerSirch) and then on to Muelhausen, was carried out with rare dash. By bold stroke General Paul Pau once hewas master at Thann and Dannemarie, directed the troops west of Muelhausen, giving the enemy an oppor- tunity to engage him between our lines and the Swiss frontier md then by a second move the Germans were thrown back on Muelhausen.
 While our right attacked Altkirch the
 left advanced on Neubrsach and Colma, threatening the enemy's line of retreat The Germans were forced to accept bat tie, which was the hottest in the suburb of Muelhausen. Dornach Our infantry captured 24 guns at the point Of the bayonet and made several thousand pris- oners. The fight swept through the strets from house to house and the German losses were enormous"
 Turn On Altkirch
 Following up the success one part of the army occupied Muehausen, while the rest turned on Altkirch and forced the Germans to fall backward .n order. Thus we attained the initial object of our troops in Upper Alsace, to drive the Ger man forces onto the right bank of the Rhine.
 To show the importance of the success in Alasce the official statement gives a detailed account of the first attempt made to force the Germans out of upper Alsace and across the Rhine and to seize and hold the bridges, thus preventing a coun- ter attack.
 .'On August F the statement says, "the French carried Thann and Altxirch bril- liantly, but nightfall prevented them fol- lowing up the success and the German retreat was not cut off.
 Despite the opposition of the rein- forced Germans the French advance con- tinued. A brigade entered Muelhausen, but the city was difficulty to defend. The Germans, we'll informed by the pro-Ger- man inhabitants, delivered night at tack, marching simultaneously from the forest of Neubrisach and Colma in a direction to cut off our retreat Counter Attack By remaining in sufficient forces in Muelhausen we would have risked having our eommunica tions with the upper Vosges and Belfort cut and retreat was ordered. Another plan might have been carried out Our forces at Altkirch might have made counter attack on the Germans marching on Cernay. Why this was not done has not been properly explained.
 Our left being attacked toward Cernay by manifestly superior forces our center attacked at Muelhausen and our right re- maining inactive, put us in bad posi- ton and retreat was the wisest course. This was carried out brilliantly. ''TO attain our initial ohiect tho oraro tioh was begun again on a fresh basis under another commander, General Mar. who resolved on decisive effort and not a single reconnaissance. He succeeded brilliantly. Our troops, holding the crests and principal valleys of the Vosges. are in good position to follow up their advantage
