Truth, Says President Wilson

Of the Chamber Of Commerce of the United

FOOD PROBLEM GROWS

Both Germany and England are facing
a shortage in bread supplies.
Bread has increased fifty per cent. in
price to the consumer in England. The
effect Of this on the poor is drastic, and the
labor element is clamoring for hearing
in Parliament.
In the German capital, in conjunction
with those Of Charlottenburg, Schoenberg,
Keukalin, and Williamsdorf, bakers, since
February l, have received only three-quar-
tiers Of the amount of -four formerly re-
ceived by them, and the authorities have
ordered the following limitations regard
ing consumption:
First, the daily per capita consumption
of all kinds of bread fours combined may
not exceed two Kilograms; second only
uniform bread may be baked-wheaten
bread in loaves Of Is grams, rye bread OF
one and half Kilograms and biscuits, to
be sold only by weight; third, pastries
may contain only 10 per cent. of their
total weight Of cereal -four ~~
Restaurants and other places Of re-
freshments may receive only three-fourths
Of their usual amount.
Vienna Zeitung publishes a ministerial
decree ordering that henceforth bread
may contain no more than so per cent. OF
-four or rye meal.

POULTRY TALKS
By o. L. Tindall
FEEDING FOR EGGS
are Increasing.

A great deal of attention has been given
to the subject of feeding hens in order to
get the most eggs, and especially to get
eggs IN the winter time when eggs sell
for nearly double the price paid for them
in spring and summer
Anyone can get eggs in the spring. It
is possible to get good many eggs in
winter. 1t is also quite easy to fail in
this. One general principle to accomplish
this is to maintain the warmer weather
conditions
In the spring and summer the flock is
supposed to have free range and so get
plenty of exercise, plenty Of fresh air and
sunshine. These are all very essential to
the good health and vigor Of the hens, and
so to the production of eggs. By careful
experiment it has been found that hen
will lay some more eggs if given free
range than when she is kept confined.
She will be healthier.
Chickens should have not only certain
kinds of feed but care must be taken to
give the feed in proper proportions There
must be variety Of feed and properly
balanced feed is important All corn for
instance, will make hen too fat, and this
will greatly hinder her laying. Corn pro-
duces too much heat, especially for sum-
mer. Corn, however, is found in all
poultry feed. Too much meat is liable to
produce bowel trouble
There are in the market many prepared
foods made up by experts. These are
claimed to be scientifically prepared and
rightfully mixed and proportional and
balanced for the best results in egg pro-
duction. They are, no doubt, good, and
better than the beginner could mix them.
The main objection to their use would
probably be their extra cost. Our big
poultry men mix their own feed, buy in
wholesale quantities and then mix them.
They then know what there is in the mix
ture. They need not use any inferior
grains. Musty, or moldy grain is very
injurious to the hens.

matter of feeding The general principles
that | have mentioned, for the most part,
are agreed on. There are many different
methods, but they all agree in a general
way. will give below some of the meth
DDS used by different large experimental
stations and old extensive breeders They
may be very helpful to the inexperienced
whether he follows them in detail or in
general way. In the great international
Laying Contest at Mountain Grove, Mis-
souri,, conducted by Prof. Quinsenberry,
they used the following methods of feed
ing, with good results.
Some very interesting facts are brought
out by these experiments. There are two
kinds of feed called the Dry Mash, and
the Grain feed. The mash is fed in hop
pers, or vessels, and often kept before the
hens all the time. Some grain is fed in
litter of dry straw six to eight inches
deep. This is to make the hens exercise.

HITCHING ON" PROVES FATAL

The practice Of "hitching on" by small

Joie missed his hold, and was thrown be-

Well now you look out. that means they are going to pull the hit and run play. See there, didn't ! tell you?" You see that's what they call inside baseball or signals.
 Maybe you're wondering what this has to do with the cost of high living in Skagway. Wait a minute-give a fellow time.
 Are you going to the game Fri day? Well you just watch how those fellows play signals. Mebbe you think playing basket ball Is just throwing that ball around and waiting for a fair chance to main one Of your opponents. Not atall, not ataII, GladiOulus. It requires deep thought.
