u S. SOCIETY GIRL WAR NURSE WEEDS OFFICER
SHE SAVED FROM DEATH Il

thick of the fighting in France has re-
turned to this country and written a,
book about her apprehension of
the most simple and yet touching and
convincing documents the war has
produced so far. Il
The girl is Adele Bleneau - or
rather that is the name she chooses
to use for the public. An American
girl, the daughter of physician of
French descent, she was among the
first women to volunteer for service
in France, and because of the skill
acquired in her fathers Office she was
instantly accepted. While at the
front she fell in love with an English
officer whom she nursed back from
the point of death after he had been
desperately wounded in battle. To-
day she is married to him and is now
in the neighborhood of New York city
awaiting the birth of a child. -
She will not give her real name for
publication, but the story she tells is
absolutely authentic. When talked
with her the other day she said: ii
"m my book, The Nurses Story,
| have tried to snow the WOman'S side
of the war. / have dedicated it to the
Red Cross nurses of the world-the
silent heroines who bear the cross
but not the crown of glory of the
fight. Twas nurse myself, attached
to Field hospital 18 at the French
'front.' am forbidden to say where.
Men have been shot before my eyes.
1 have been under fire repeatedly my
self, and must tell you that the most
amazing thing about the death and
destruction of this war is that it is
so great, so terrible, that you do not
feel it after Whilei
when you see one wounded man
you almost faint with pity and hor-
ror. When your have seen 5000 it is
all just about the days work. You
are drugged with death, Supplied by

USE CRATES FOR sATTENING
That They Will Get rs Little
Exercise as Poa. IDLE.

The first essential n fattening
fowls of any kind is to k7rp them con.
fined SO that they can let as little
exercise as possible. FN' tsis purpose
crates or regular fattep- ug pens are
best. These pens shoA be so ar
ranged that they can be ,sily cleaned.
In many cases the botto1 is left slat,
ted so that the soft drcr rings caused
by the fattening ratici will drop
through and thus not so& the feet and
feathers.
The following method of fattening,
in which milk is used, ~ III give salts

wheat middlings and q ,e part beef
scraps should be wetl with skim

allowed to eat as muck of this mash
as they will. In additio. 10 this they
should be given all tn water they
will drink, and plentiful supply of
green food. This methGd produces a
very fine. soft, sweet E>at.
In commercial milk-fa, lening plants
buttermilk is used in coordination with

method, but the farmer will generally
md 1t more convenient to use skim

In following this method of fatten

should be taken to keep everything
clean and sanitGry. The troughs and
dishes should be scalds.d after each
FEEDING. and the pens should also be
kept well cleaned.

large-hearted cashier to Brushly, the
impressionist painter, lis drawn ex-
ceedingly well, and in composition
seems to be pretty nearly perfect; but
it lacks background. Mr.. Brushly. But
for that it would be work OF art.
Your foreground is charming, but just
a trifie too-well, shall we say too
fanciful?''
Il don't know what you are driving
at, growled Brushly. Il suppose you
know what you mean, however. What
kind of a background would you sug-
gest?"

of art like this, calling for the pay
ment of $50, is not wholly convincing

contrasts in light and shade and to-
give the thing what we might cali

Although not fully developed and
matured until the twelfth or fifteenth
month, chick reaches nearly full
size in six to eight months. Birds are
the most active, maintain the highest
bodily temperature, and perform the
most rapid digestion of food of all the
domestic animals. Their bodily proc
esses are rapid also, and it follows
that results of wrong care or feeding
are more quickly disastrous, and the
disaster is more likely to be lasting
than with any other animals.
One may give the most painstaking
and skillful care to flock of brooder
chicks during the first three weeks OF
their lives and then by three hours
neglect, under just the right combina-
ton of unfavoratle conditions, may
ruin the whole lot. Mistreat colt or
calf for week and it is quite pos
s1ble to repair the damage.
Mistreat growing chick for a week
and the chances are in favor of having
made runt of it for life. In its
rapid growing period there are nc
stops for the repair of damages.

but, as it is a purely natural process.
1t should not be permanently injuri-

sufficiehtly protected from storms and

tional cases in which it is well to take
this course, but. as rule, it is not
advisable.
While they are changing one coat

to lay many eggs. and it is a great
mistake to attempt to force them to
lay by giving stimulating foods. They
need this period of from ten to four
teen weeks for rest and for the growth

they should have good care. with
plenty OF pure water and clean grit.

advantage to add pint of sunfiower
