Less Meat. More Vegetables

From the Alanby Journal.
 That not strilSingly original idea, that so much of the high cost of living as IS due to the high price of meat may be mitigated through consumption of less meat and more vegetables was advanced at convention of hotel men of states of the Mississippi calley.
 Sentiment in the convention was gen. erally in favor of movement to bring about such a change in the bill of fare
 But to make the substitution of vegeta- bles a source of benefit to consumers, hotel and restaurant keepers would have to learn to serve vegetables in adequate quantity, and they would have to refrain from charging side-dish prices in ratio to the larger quantity served. else there would be greater profit to them, ana no saving to their patrons.
 But while the people who serve food are discussing the matter, and thinking about changing their methods in accord ance with their talk, there is every oppor-

kind and that it has been bred to given type for centuries. Whatever the merit possessed by these varying claims it is sufficient for practical purposes to know that the breed Is actually an old one. It has been bred by the Sussex farmers for generations, and by them it is con- sidered the ideal fowl
 About a decade ago the English fam ciers came to the realization that the Sus- sex Is something more than farm fowl and worthy of greNter consideration. Therefore, the English Sussex club was formed in July, 1903, and since then the breed has made wonderful strides and has enjoyed quite a boom. There are four varieties of Sussex, of which the speckled is shown herewith. This Is very beauti- ful fowl. and Is perhaps the most ad- vanced in breed characteristics of all the varieties.

Study of Birds and Fish

From the New York r-ress.
 The French possess d curious institu- tion in the form of an institute of zoolog- ical psychology, established on farm near Paris. This station comprises meadows. barnyards, stretch of for est and large pond stocked with fish Then, too. there are spacious buildings, including modern stables, riding school, stalls for isolating animals under special observation. an aquarium and labora- tory. A dovecote Is placed upon the roof of the main building.
 As evidencng the deslfe of the French naturalsts to study t.e habits of living creatures under naturaf conditions, it may be mentioned that complete div ing apparatus has been provided in which observers may descend to the bottom of the pond. There they may remain for hours, until the fish become accustomed to their presence and follow their nat ural impulses in playing and feeding. The underwater student thus is enabled to note their habits at first hand
 The other extreme of observation is the construction of sheltered platforms in the branches of trees. where students sit throughout the night armed with electric flashlights, to watch the doings of owls, bats and nocturnal insects.
 It is reported by a scientist that an important conclusion reached by the stu dents Is that some animals possess a special sense whereby they can detect the presence of water. even though they cannot see it. The experiments were un- dertaken at the suggestion of an Aus tralan, who addressed the institution with reference to his experiences with sheep and cattle when being driven across country.
 In place where the presence of water was wholly unexpected the Australian noted some curious facts The leading animals suddenly would lift their heads and draw long breaths. Then they would abandon the beaten tracks and start run ming through the brush Sometimes they would run for mile and a half to two miles and could not be stopped by the drivers. their course invariably leading to a pond or spring hitherto unknown.
 In France the experiments were made on a water rat First Its eyes were blinded by a bandage. and then it was placed on a turn table, which was hurled around till all sense of direction must have been obliterated. Upon being re- leased, without moments hesitation it started directly for the pond, several hundred yards distant.
 Frogs and toads were taken to dis tance of three or four miles from water and liberated. It seemed to take them only few seconds to find the water. One old blindw toad showed the instinct in the same degree as the others.
 Among the subjects of investigation is the sight of birds and the homing in- stincts of the carrier pigeon Many mem- bers of the institution are inclined to consider this phenomenon of far sight.

cans consider unfit for poultry keeping, being heavy clay, low-lying and inclined to be damp. These conditions are un- doubtedly unfavorable, and much plan ming and careful management are re- quired to keep the birds healthy and pro- ductive. The success achieved is only another proof that. after all, it Is the man that counts in poultry farming
 The farm Is but five miles from the sea. This is an advantage in one respect, the snowfall being slight. On the other hand, damp winds and fogs must be contended with.
 When Mir Barron took this place it was regarded as being decidedly poor Today every foot of the land Is fertile and productive, due to the great amount of poultry manure used upon it. Even the poultry yards grow grass so rapidly that they must be moved twice year.
 In concluding this brief sketch of the methods which have brought such won derful results on this interesting plant, 1t may not be out of place to emphasize a few points of great practical value

WHAT II COSTS T0SE[L THINGS
Most With Jewelry and
 Least With Groceries

A recent compilation of the cost of doing retail business in several different lines, by System, of Chicago, shows that smaller percentage of the selling price is used up in disposing of groceries than of any other merchandise. This compilation which is based on the figures supplied by a large number of merchants in va rious parts of the country, and which, therefore, may be taken as indicative of the average cost of doing business in these lines, shows that in selling gro- ceries only 15.9l per cent of the sales price is absorbed by the expense &C., est cost of doing business that is shown in the list does not set opposite the de- partment store, for the palm of the ex- pensfve conduct of business goes to the 1ewelry shop. This business requires 25.s1 per cent of the average selling price of the merchandise to carry it on.
 Eight Kinds of Stores
 The list in question contains the ex- pense percentages of eight kinds of re- tail business: rugs, jewelry. groceries, shoes. variety. hardware, dry goods and furniture. Ten different kinds of expen- ses are listed for each, and these are rent salaries, advertising, heat and light, deliveries, supplies, insurance and taxes. general expenses, depreciation and shrinkage and bad debts.
 In the matter of rent the figures show that first place, strangely enough, goes to the variety store, where it consumes Al per cent of the average selling price Following it come the drug store, with 402 per cent; jewelry with 39S per cent furniture with 3.44; hardware with 341; dry goods, with 3.24; shoes. with 32i. and groceries. with POT per cent. The palm for the highest salaries goes to the jewelry store. where this cost amounts to 1O.96 per cent of the selling price Closely following is the drug store, where the salary expenses is 10.95 per cent. Shoe stores come third with 1051; hardware fourth with 10.11: dry goods fifth with 965; variety sixth with 6s6; furniture seventh with s.73. .sond groceries last with 7.96 per cent.
 Despite the belief inspired by the big oepartment stores of this city that this branch of business activity goes in more Tor publicity than any other. the depart- ment store is ranked fourth fin the ad- vertisinE comparison with an expense ap- proximating 1.67 of the sale price. At the top of the list comes the jewelry stores again. with 2So per cent. Second place is

 The tail is carried rather low and the clean-cut shanks and rghs are of me- dium length. The comb should be fair ly large, following the curve of the neck. The color is unusual. The hackle and saddle of rich, reddish brown. each feather being striped with black and tip- ped with white. The wing-bow is rcd, the wig-bar black. laced with white. The wing-bay Is white. Tail and coverts are black and white. The remainder of the plumage is evenly mottled black, white and chestnut brown. The ideal feather is brown. sprinkled with black and tipped with white.
 In the female the mottling extends throughout the plumage. The cut gives an excellent idea of the pattern.
 In it's native home the Sussex holds an enviable reputation as layer of brown shelled eggs. The weights are nine pounds and up for males seven pounds and up for females.

MT Barron has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the poultry world that utility poultry keeping, coupled with the breeding and selling Of utility stock, may be made extremely profitable. He pro- duces his record layers in this way:
 Breeding from heavy laying birds iden- tified by the use of the trap nest
 Keeping his plant in strictly sanitary condition
 Feeding adults and chicks varied re- tion in high quality, including an abun- dance of milk
 Developing the chicks steadily and rapidly during the entire growing period.
 Culing rigidly, rejecting all weddings and preserving only the physically fit
 Watching all details of management, heading off impending trouble and keep ing the entire flock healthy and com fortable.
 There is room in America for many business poultry plants so managed Their owners will be well rewarded in satis- faction and dollars.

While the Sussex is one of the oldest breeds of poultry and has for a very long period of time been a popular fa- vorfte among commercial poultrymen in certain parts of England, it has only re- gently made a bid for the favor of the American poultry fraternity. That it has taken hold in the brief time it has been with us is undeniable. It is safe to pre- dict that it is only question of time before it will be widely bred in this country, especially among the admirers of the general-purpose type of poultry.
 The enthusiastic breeders of the Sussex assert that the breed asks no favor, re- quires no artificial booming, as it is able to demonstrate by performance that 1t well deserves a leading position among our business breeds and show birds.
 AS is true of q great many of the older breeds, the origin of the Sussex is shroud- ed in mystery. Certain investigators say that it Is the result of mingling the blood of selected specimens of the common barnyard fowls of the Kent and Sussex districts. Others, that it is a distinct

DIsCoLoRED OR sPOTTY
SKIN EASILY PEELED OFF

The freckling, discoloring or rough
ening to which most skins are subject
at this season, may readily be gotten
rid of. Mercolized wax, spread lightly
over the face before retiring and re-
moved in the morning with soap and
water, completely peels off the dis
figured skin. Get an ounce of the wax
at any druggist IS. There's no more eff
fective way of banishing tan, freckles
or other cutaneous defects. Little skin
particles come off each day, so the pro
cess itself doesn't even temporarily
mar the complexion, and one soon ac-
quires brand new, spotless, girlishly
beautiful face
Wrinkles caused by weather, worry
or Illness are best treated by simple
solution Of powdered saxolite, o., dis
solved in y pint witch hazel. Bathing
the face in this produces truly mar
