DON'T LET YOUNG CHICKENS GET
WET

In the Poultry Raising" depart
ment OF the current issue OF Farm
and Preside contributor advises
dipping hens in hog dip to get rid
OF lice. The editor gives the fol-
lowing advice;
I'm no case should the dipping OF
poultry be undertaken unless the
weather is sufficiently warm so that
the birds will not be chilled, unless
they can be kept in a room artifi-
cially warmed until their feathers
are perfectly dry. Little chicks
should not be treated with this So
luton until a month or two old, as
their skins are delicate and chill
may finish them.
An effective lice powder for
poultry is made by mixing three
parts Of gasoline and one part OF
crude carbolic acid 90 per cent pure.
Then add gradually sufficient plast-
err OF Paris 10 absorb all the moist

HOW UNCLE SAN SPENDS YOUR
INCOME TAX DOLLAR

The American Magazine sent Ray
Stannard Baker 10 Washington 10
trace your income tax dollar and re-
port penny for penny exactly how
Uncle Sam spends IT, The result OF
his investigation appears In the
August number. Under the indirect
method OF taxation, by which we
still continue TO raise most OF our
revenues, few people felt any con-
Germ as TO what the government
spent, but with a direct tax like the
income tax several hundred thous-
and Americans will feel this year,
for the first time, just what II means
TO help buy warships and pay for
unnecessary post-ofllces. Following
is part OF Mr.. Bakers report:
The very first thing that struck
me, and struck hard, was the fact
that, although we have had no great
war in fifty years land only little
one sixteen years ago., over sixty
cents OF every dollar that Uncle Sam
collects from you and me directly
or Indirectly goes for military
purposes including continuing ex-
penses Of past wars-pensions.
II think that few people realize
what this means-in a nation which
considers itself peculiarly devoted
to peace.
"Sixty-three per cent TO the
Army, Navy and pensions, and only
thirty-seven per cent TO pay all the
other vast and useful purposes OF
the Government, excluding postal
service and the preposterous sink
ing fund--required by law, but new
or provided in fact. This thirty
seven per cent only is available for
building the Panama Canal, improv-
ing our rivers and harbors, support
ing the Indians, encouraging agri-
culture, public health and educa-
ton. TO say nothing OF taking care
Of the entire machinery OF civil gov
eminent Congress, Executive
Courts, and the diplomatic and con-
sular service.
I'm the estimates for the new year
the expenditure OF the Government
for all purposes with the excep-
tons above stated reaches the vast
sum OF s7iO,OOO,OOO. or this, $780,
100000 go for war purposes and
forty-flve per cent Of this goes for
pensions. retirements, and interest
on war debts"
