Well fed is half raised.
Poor feeding kills many chicks.
Give no feed for two days af-
ter Matching.
Leg weakness results from
lack of bone-making feed.
The first chick feed should be
a dry mixture of cracked grains.
Cracked corn, wheat, kafir, and
pin-head oats are all good.
Feed sour milk or beef scrap
to help build muscle, feathers,
and bone. One per cent Of bone
meal should also be included in
the ration.
Feed three times q Gay and no
more, but add oats to the chick
feed twice a day and stale bread
crumbs or corn bread will do if
there are no rolled oats on hand.
Feed finely cut lettuce, onion
tops, or other green stuff if the
chicks cannot be allowed to run
on grass, for they must have
something Of this kind to keep
the bowels working properly.
Poor growth and lack of
thrift usually indicate some
thing wrong with the feeding.
A few grains of sand during the
first few days after Matching
help to prepare the stomach for
food later, tho the chick is still

RECORD
SECURED BY TANLAC
.Tanlac Appeals to the Best PeO-
pie in Every Community
Wherever introduced.

when one realizes that exact
ly one million bottles of Tanlac
were sold nine months to the
day after its introduction, it can
be readily understood why Tan
lac's success-success built on
merit alone, has been considered
a romance of the staid business
world. It's instant leap to popu-
larity throughout the United
States in such a comparatively
short period has been looked up
on as almost a miracle.
Tanlac must have wonderful
merit, or why would a quarter
of a million people unhesitating-
ly come forward and publicly en-
dorse it? Tanlac appeals to the
best people. In every commun-
ity where Tanlac has been intro
duced, it will be noted that
prominent and professional peo-
pie, whose reputation and word
are beyond reproach, are among
the first to endorse this Master
Medicine.
Tanlac's best advertiser, it has
been shown, is the grateful man
or woman who has suffered all
the agonies of stomach, kidney,
liver disorders, or kindred all
ments, and has found relief
through this wonderful recon-
structive tonic-Tanlac.
1t is true in some cases that
only one bottle of Tanlac often
has been found sufficient to re-
lieve. In long standing cases,
however, it is beneficial to take
a thorough Tanlac treatment.
Tanlac has been proven very
effective in stomach, liver, kid
ney and intestinal disorders, anC
through its system-cleansine
powers and tonic effects gives
the best results for catarrha.

The warden of the p~enitentary
has just completed the finest
cell building in the United States.
1t has every modern convenience,
is sanitary and roomy. The
completion of the building has
enabled the warden 10 inaugur-
ate a reform he has contemplate
ed since he took charge and be-
came acquainted with prison
conditions. That is, the separa-
ton of young men and first of
tenders from the professional
criminals. This is now being
done under the direction Of the
warden. This is the most i'm
portant reform that has been in
stituted at the Missouri prison
in the history of the institution.
The yellow journals have criti-
cised the warden when the facts
did not justify them. Notwith-
standing the false light in which
they have attempted to place
him, he has done more to make
better conditions at the prison
than any of his predecessors.

NOT ALL FOOD FRAUDS
INJURIOUS TO HEALTH
Good 0leOmargarine Better Than
Poor Butter, Says Health
Expert.

AAPNA1
The writing of "The Jungle"
by Upton Sinclair caused coun-
try wide excitement concerning
the adulteration of foods and
the dangers therefrom. The
agitation has been kept up by a
number Of writer's, some sincere
and some evidently working to
take advantage of the wave Of
interest. The general effect has
been good.
It is hard to draw the line be-
tween ~justifable and unjustif-
able chemical preservatio ion.
Every one uses salt, sugar,
spices, vinegar, ETC., which are
chemicals. Long use has proved
their harmlessness. Many other
chemicals are used whose effects
on the body by long continuous
use are unknown. Still others
are known to be harmful. Among
those which are still under OBJ
servation in this regard are
some which may be entirely
harmless, but, like other chem
icals, they accomplish one object
for the manufacturer which is
unquestionably bad-they en-
able the manufacturer to use
partly decayed materials which
could not otherwise be put on
the market, and to this extent
they are wholly bad.
The writer's on this subject
excite a great amount of UNI
necessary alarm, since they do
not draw a distinction between
frauds which are merely COM
mercial and frauds which are to
be condemned because they are
injurious to the health, says DR..
M. P. Ravenal, of the depart
ment of preventative medicine
of the University of Missouri at
Columbia. For Example, glu-
cOse is a harmless and nutritious
substance, and there is no OBJ
lection to its use from the pub
lie health standpoint. It is high
ly Objectionable as a commercial
fraud when it is sold as honey.
even if a dead bee is put in each
jar to prove its genuineness, as
manufacturers have done, or as
cane syrup, or as an ~adulterant
in candies supposed to be made
entirely of sugar.
Another example is a specimen
of ground black pepper which
looked right, tasted right anC
smelled right. Analysis, how.
ever, showed it to be made W
of starch IS per cent, black pep.
per siftings Is per cent, and q
; little cayenne pepper, the tang
and the starch, the bulk. This
, specimen was wholesome anC
nutritious. There was nothing
in it Objectionable from the pub.

commercial fraud of the worst
kind.

which much unjust prejudice ha,

garinie as butter is a CONNER

can be made, but from the SAM

Proceedings

the present minority of the board are
known to be against the construction

Last week Judge Grow issued writ
of certiorari to T. S. Smith, a taxpayer,
which ordered the board of revenue
to bring before the circuit court for
review all actions tending to the es-
Enlistment of the Nichols Fishtrap
highway. Despite the writ of Judge
Crow the majority of the board a few
days later received a petition of citi-
zens demanding the establishment of
the road and ordered the petition filed.
Later the majority of the board passed
a resolution to advertise bids. At a
hearing last Saturday on a motion to
quash the writ of certiorari, Attorney
G. B. Powell, who represented the
complainant. Il. S. Smith requested for
rule nisi, charging that the major
ity of the board of revenue was in
contempt of court. Later Judge Grow
ruled that the majority of the board of
revenue was in technical contempt of
court and he refused to hear any argu-
nents on the motion to quash the writ
