Theatre this week. IN the hands Of the
Penn Players. especially supplemented BY
Miss Irene Oshier. Carl Stowe ana Ed
ward Evcrtt Morton, Jr.
Carl Stowe was the man who PLAYED
the part OF the bie. simple. honest-hearted
lawyer from Indiana, and he realised all
the opportunities OF the amusing rncio-
drama-melodrama not OF the usual order,
but still melodranna. with a hero who Il
good ana a villain who r. bad, and in
which, true 60 the formula. right triumphs
and wrong is crushed. Rights road to
victory lies over a pathway OF many
laughs and some stirring situations, and
the audience leaves the theatre convinced
that deep down under the skin the plain
American Is just as fine az the foreigner
with title and nothing more.
The Man from Home is the first pro-
duction under the new management OF
Grant Laferty, formerly manager OF the
Orpheum stock company Easily the most
popular actor in the cast was Mr.. Nor
ton. who played with MIR. Laferty at the
Chestnut Street Theatre and who has
just returned to this city. His role was
the Hon. Almeric St. Aybyn, and he re-
ceived a Justly deserved ovation for his
work Miss oshier played the leading
feminine role, that OF Ethel Granger
Simpson.

Cities Warned Of Tvphoid.

Washington, Oct. %. - During the
year 100000 people in the United
States will contract typhoid fever, says
Il statement issued by the public health
service. The average period of inva-
lidism will be more than a month for
every case, so that the economic loss.
even If recovery does ensue, can be
reckoned upon this basis, including the
care and attention required.
or those who contract the disease
possibly $4,000 will die.
Fifty per cent of these will be be-
tween the ages of fifteen and thirty
five years. the very time Of life when
the loss is most frightful. Moreover.
this is an annpal toll and represents
the minimum fatality which we have
attained.
Another typhoid season is again at
hand. The weather, presence of flies.
contamination of food products and
the increased liability Of infection
through changes Of residence make it
once more necessary for health bodies
to sound a warning note. This is be-
coming an annual custom, but the
health officer should not modify his
tones on that account. He is indeed
a prophet, and the voice Of the prophet
should be heard.

Be|aium to Observe Feb. %.

New York. Nov. 2.-1f Belgium is
ever freed of the invader and once
more takes her place among the free
nations Of the world there is every rca-
son to believe that Feb. %, the birth
day Of Washington, will be made n ma
tional holiday In King Albert's coun-
try. BY honoring Washington the Bel
gians think they can show their ap-
probation OF what the United States
has done for the relief Of Belgian non
combatants since the war began. The
commission for relief in Belgium in a
statement just issued said:
EARLY in February last officials Of
the various provinces in Belgium began
to discuss the question of making
Washington's birthday a holiday. The
burgomasters and other officials in all
the provinces throughout Belgium held
meetings and drafted IN official procla-
nation. a copy of which has just been
received by the commission.
The copy Of the proclamation receiv-
ed by the commission was issued by
the burgomaster and aldermen Of Ho-
damovt. 1t included a letter written
to the teachers by the aldermen in
charge Of the schools, ordering the
schools closed. which said, in part:
On the 22d instant the people of the
United States are celebrating a national
holiday. This circumstance will be for
our distressed people an occasion when
we may show to that great republic our
feelings OF high admiration and gratitude.
During the long months Of our great dis
tress and need that generous nation has
taken up the task OF abolishing misery
from our homes in assuring with a spirit
Of humanity the distribution Of food
throughout our country.
So will the 22d of February be for every
Belgian citizen a day Of generation for
that wonderful people from whom we are
receiving so many marks Of true friend

Washington. Nov. 2.-Secretary DAN

providing for Il substantial increase in

Potatoes For Poultry,

When properly handled potatoes
make an excellent feed for poultry.
They may be fed after being thorough
ly cooked, but should never be given
raw. If given in a mash Of ground
grains the proportion should not ex-
coed u or 20 per cent OF the complete
mixture. AS the cooked product is
quite similar to corn meal in feeding
value, such feeds as bran, middlings,
ground oats and meat feeds should be
fed in connection with them. After
young chicks are weaned they may be
given cooked potatoes in the same pro-
portion as has been suggested for the
mature fowls.-Country Gentleman.

lowered and secured by bolts at any
point IS a great convenience in feeding
the pigs, writes John Corwine In Farm
and Fireside.
This door can be shut while the food
Is placed In the trough. and to admit
the pigs the door Is raised and secured
at the proper height to admit small pigs
and at the same time keep back the
sows.
AS 1t often happens that the pigs are
no OF the same size. by raising the door
only high enough to allow the smallest
pigs to enter the larger and stronger
are kept back, and it is surprising how
the little ones will work their way
through the crowd clamoring for adj
mission.
After the smaller pigs have been sat
isfed the door is raised to admit the
larger, and last Of all the door is OPEN
ed to its full height, admitting the sows
to clean up what, II any, food remains
IN and around the troughs.
BY this method the smaller pigs are
given the advantage, and the result Is
they gain rapidly in growth on the
larger pigs until an even and uniform
size results.
With old hogs, whose frames are de-.
veloped, nothing excels corn for fatten-
Ing. With an occasional feed of roots
and oats for the sake Of variety. corn
and water, with a mixture of salt and
charcoal on the floor accessible at all
times, watering always before feeding,
will give excellent results.
But with growing shotes food for the
