FOR TAX REFORM

Impetus was given to the work in
Chicago and Cook County of the local
tax amendment committee by reports
of steady gain in support in all of
the 101 counties in Illinois. Meetings
are being held under the management
of local committees and little or no
opposition is being met.
1--WE do not fear opposition as much
as we do the apathy of the voters"
said b. A. Eckhart, chairman of the
Chicago committee. ut is regrettable
that Illinois has been so far behind
in legislation regarding personal
taxes. In order to modernize our sys.
TEN, voters must rally to the polls
on Nov. and vote yes on the short
ballot"
The leaders of both political parties
have announced their support to the
amendment to the constitution and
many are appearing on the platform
in various parts of the state at the
tax meetings. Fred J. Kern, presi.
dent of the state board of administra-
ton. and Hugh s. Magill, Jr., superin.
tendent of schools in Springfield, ad.
dressed mass meeting in Belleville,
at which great enthusiasm for the
amendment was displayed. Meetings
are scheduled for every county in ILL
nois during the week.

NO DECREASE
IN SALOONS

Although thirty.flve saloon keepers
have failed to renew their licenses for
the present period, which is rapidly
drawing to a close, City Clerk John
Siman said that he did not believe
there would be any material falling off
In the number of saloons in Chicago
next year. despite the enforcement of
the Sunday closing law and the many
attacks of reformers on the liquor
traffic.
The city clerks staff today began
the work preliminary to the renewal
of all saloon licenses Nov. /. This is
gigantic task. there being 1904 sa-
looms in Chicago. Considerable work
also falls on City Collector Charles
Forsberg, whose Office must invest-
gate the character of each applicant.
"The indications are that there will
be no decrease in the number Of sa.
looms in Chicago next year." said Mr.
Siman.

ABOUT THE POULTRY


Contrary to general impression,
broodiness in hens is not fever. and
we have no evidence to show that 1t
is contagious. The ailment, If we
may term it thus, apears without any
warning. The fowl may have been
laying steadily and acting otherwise
in a perfectly normal fashion, when
suddenly she becomes imbued with a
great distaste for active pursuits. She
betrays a very grabbed disposition,
rushing at her erstwhile friends and
pecking them furiously whenever
they approach her. Her plumage
sticks out at right angles, making her
appear about twice as large as usual.
With head drawn deep into her hack
le feathers and wings and body TAX
ing up as much space as possible. she
mounts guard over her chosen nest
and defies ali corners.
The hen becomes broody because
nature prompts her with a sudden de-
sire for brood of chicks. She prob
ably does not know why she does it,
and she will take TO potatoes or door
knobs as kindly as to eggs, but she
sets whe nthe time just the
same, and she will keep on setting
until you break her up or let her
hatch out a brood of chicks.
This pertilnacity would not be so
important if It were not for the fact
that she quits laying and stays quit
She has decided upon vacation and
she refuses to work during this per-
iod. The loss of a couple of months
of hens time is not to be thought OF
at any period, and especially during
the spring, which is the natural time
for setting and heaviest egg produc-
tion as well.
If we do not wish to let the her
set on eggs, we will have to adopt
strenuous methods to dissuade hel
from her purpose and start her tc
laying again.
There are q number OF successful

EDIsON's BIRTHDAY
Greatest Inventor of the Age Reaches
the Sixty-Ninth Mile-Post OF
Useful Life Februay nth.

Thomas Alva Edison is sixty-nine
years of age today, February IL. The
years seem to rest lightly on the great
inventor He is still as hale, hearty,
and active and as deeply interested
in what the coming year has in store
as a youth with all of his life ahead.
''The future means as much to me
at slxty-nine as it does to you at twen-
ty-five. young man." said Mr.. Edison
to young friend some days ago.
In other words, Edison is "still go
ing strong" at sixty-nine Not day
passes that he does not spend from
twelve to eighteen hours in his lab
oratory. He shows no signs OF slow
ing up the pace he has held for over
fifty years. He is alert and not a de-
tail of the business around him es-
'capes his eye and attention To those
who are associated with him in bust
ness he is "Our Old Man" Edison,
white-haired, stepping brickly, is
familiar figure in every corner of his
vast laboratories at Oronge. New Jer-
Isey,-and they all love him.
1t Is given to few men to reach the
age of Edison with the consciousness
of having contributed so much to the
material welfare of the world, and
with the knowledge that what he has
already accomplished stands while he
is yet with us as a monument to his
great genius. Most men of renown
get the greater portion of the credit
due them after they have passed; but
Edison has the tribute for comfort
now. How easy or, rather. how very
pleasant must be the task of rigorous
endeavor when one has the knowl-
edge that he has already achieved
more for human kind than have most
men who reaped the glory after death
and knew but few of the fruits of
their endeavors or the solace of their
success.

ways Of doing this, and conditions
will indicate tn emost favorable. The
main thing is to act promptly and be
thorough.
Remove the broody hens from the
nests each night, as they are the most
easily detected then. They stick to
tile nest instead of going to roost.
Dust them thoroughly with insect
powder and confine them in an open
slat crate or cage in cool, light To-
cation. Keep water before them and
give nothing to eat except once a day
This will not hurt the hens, and about
three days Of this water cure' will
convince them of the error of their
ways.
Another good way Is to have sep
arate pen with absolutely bare floors
and walls and no possible place Sto
nest, and place all Of the broody hens
in it in the company of two or three
vigorous male birds. This scheme is
frequently used on large poultry es-
tablishments.
The heavier breeds are espec-
tally addicted to broodiness, the As
iatics being the worst offenders and
the Plymouth Rocks and the Rhode
Island Reds.leading in the American
lclass. The Leghorns. Minoreas and
lHamburgs set so rarely that they are
not to be depended upon to raise their
young For this reason the Leghorns
are the most popular breed for egg
farms, as they waste no time-setting
and the young are easily raised arti-
