Rome, July 21.-A ministerial de-
cree was issued today placing the per-
sons and property OF Germans on the
same footing as those of Austrians and
Hungarians. The decree does not di-
rectly mention Germans but states that
allies of Austria are to be treated as
enemies and their subjects and goods
are liable to sequestration.
There, are only few German sub
jects in Italy now and these will be
either placed in concentration camps
or sent across the Swiss border.

French Confidence Restored.
The resumption of the battle Of the
Somme in the French sector has great
~ enhanced the general confidence in
the situation.
The protracted halt Of operations OF
more than a minor scale was beginning
to make the public fear that the first
result would have no morrow and that,
as in the case Of the Champagne Of
fensiye year ago, there might be a
reversion to the old trench warfare.
A particularly good piece OF work
was the taking of new positions in the
sector south OF the Somme river. There
were nine trenches, with interior un-
derground works, where, during the
bombardment the soldiers lay snug.
The Germans here, as in the Ber-
laux region, where their positions
formed an intricate mass Of trenches,
offered a stouter resistance than else
where.
= But the French troops carefully pre-
pared for their work. not only won
everywhere but held onto their gains
and prepared to still further extend
them.

with Bright's disease If evenly appor-
toned.
The doctor-books are crowded full,
also. with the progress of tuberculosis,
appendicitis. cancer and heart disease
and syphilis. Then we read of diabetes
much oftener than formerly.
Certainly we are at liberty to read
about them all, and calculate if the time
will come when there will be more dis
eases than there are people to have
them and write about them. There is
some comfort in statistical reports
when We are assured that such diseases
as cholera, smallpox, typhoid and yell
low fever are sensibly diminishing.
The truth is, there are not more dis
eases in the land than there were fifty
or sixty years ago when the lancet and
calomel and jalap were regular stand
bys in medical practice. Doubtless
there was a good deal of what is known
as Bright's disease also known to the
ancients. Kidney troubles have been
written about since the beginning of
medical nomenclature 1 never heard
of appendicitis until I was over fifty,
and L suspect it passed under the name
of '.cramp collie" of which 1 heard a
very great deal. There has been any
amount of tuberculosis, but it was call
ed consumption" and consumption was
not the suitable name at first, because
diseased lungs might have been classi-
fed as lung trouble"
Almost all new diseases have a rum"
and then the patent medicines frame up
for their particular service. And when
the doctors get puzzled they can call it

EUEA LEE IN TEXAS.

Dear Household: Having been alb
sent from our page two years, and in
the meantime having taken upon my
self the responsibilities of married life
and journeyed from Georgia to Texas to
reside. I shall tell you of this western
life which is so very interesting to me.
l only came here in October, 1915. The
contrast is certainly great. Many things
that / had been accustomed to seeing
and using in Georgia are not in this
part of the country For instance, fire
places for wood, brick chimneys, trees,
cotton and straw brooms.
Every one uses coal for cooking and
heating purposes There are no trees
except a very few locust and cotton
wood trees, grown in yards for shade
There is not any cotton grown nearer
than thirty miles of my new home, and
l have not seen a negro in six months
1t is so very level here one can see
for several miles and in consequence of
this the distance usually deceives a new
conner
This is the cattle and grain section
of Texas. The farmers do not use any

1t was with a sense of some slight

nitted MIN to- lead me to a table in the
restaurant where we had been the after
noon before. And now, too, the moving
mass of dancers, backed and reflected
as they were by many mirrors. were not
so confusing TO me. L was able to de-
tach faces, expressions, costumes ana
study them. The music no longer sound
ed in my ears, taking from me all pow
err of speech and thought ! was able
to ask Fred Ellersley questions.
do you pay to get into place like
this?" L uueried curiously after we had
been seated several minutes and he had
ordered some ice cream for me.
"Yes. of course" ne told me. Most
of these people do. l don't. They let
me come I'm this place whenever l want
and have anything l want to eat or
drink. because they know in return I'll
be glad to dance with any of the ugly

"of course, all these girls have lots
OF money! L lney are
all so prettily dressed"
Gee" he said you'd think you'd

get off early in the afternoon. Some
of them are chorus girls. Of course,
some of them are regular bad ones, but
not many. Most of these girls are
from expensive hat and costume shops.
They're all peaches, all right. aren't
they? They get in the same way 1 did.

they can dance with the old boys and

But there was just one more ques-

mind.
How do these girls meet all these

Unconsciously my own yearning had
crept into my voice.

fertilizer 1t is no unusual thing for
one farmer to plant five hundred acres
to wheat, a similar number to oats, and
one hundred acres to row crop grain.
This latter consists of kafir corn, Soudan
grass, maize and several varieties or
cane. Planted last of May, harvested in
September and October; thrashed when
ever the farmers have time to get TO
it. They ship great quantities of wheat
and row crop grain from this place.
l am located in northwestern Texas,
about fifty-eight miles east OF Amar--
lilo.
There are a number of cattle owners
In this county. Some own only two and
three hundred cows while others own as
many as as three thousand. The white
faced Hereford cow is the most popular
breed here. Occasionally some farmer
ships a carload of hogs. And COWS are
shipped quite often.
The climate here is ideal. 1t is so dry
and there is a pleasant breeze all the
time. 1t is said to get very cold here
in winter. Last winter was unusually
mild. The wind blows every day. But
when one has lived here. few months
one soon becomes accustomed to it. The
most disagreeble weather is 'norther."
1t lasts about two days, the wind blows
the clouds up from north and it gets
lawfully" cold. Sometimes it rains or
sleets a little when a norther comes, but
not always,
The only means of getting water, is by
use of a windmill, and 1t costs quite a
sum of money to install one. Those who
are financially able. own one, those who
are not, borrow or buy water from a
neighbor or else haul it from the nearest
lakes.
The means of conveyance here is al
together in automobiles. The distance
to any of the larger towns is so great,
that one would not care to go often
with horse and buggy, but great num-
Der of horses are used for riding, quite
"a number ladies ride horseback.
A few months since L saw a coyote
for the first time. They are numerous
here and at night howl most pitifully.
They eat young calves sometimes when
they are very hungry and also eaten
chickens.
A most interesting sight to see is
coyote chasing a jack rabbit. L have
seen the priarie dogs also wild ducks by
the hundreds, have seen seagull and an
eagle in flight, quail and blackbirds
by droves. And many other btrds that
I never saw in Georgia.
I should like to see more letters from
our pioneer members. Best wishes 10

JUST CHICKENS.


Dear Mrs Thomas: l raised all Of
the baby chicks to frying size AS there
were eleven roosters l used eight of
them on the table and now have eight
fine hens and three cockerels They are
beauties. Now, who can beat that in
raising day-old baby chicks shipped the
entire length of Alabama?
Yours,
MRS. E. L. GARTIN,
Andalusia, Ala.
l published this note to answer some
of the inquiries that have come to me
lately. so many people seem to think
that shipping baby chicks more hazard
Gus than sending for eggs. Personally
I would give twice as much for the
chickens because there is absolutely no
risk to run, if one buys healthy stock.
And if the stock is not healthy the
eggs will not hatch My way of re-
newing my stock this time will be TO
get a bunch of baby chicks neXtS month.
I've paid as much SIS for fifteen
eggs, but right then I offered the man
50 each for day-old chicks.
Even here in Tuscumbia the north
wind is pretty cutting and the little
chickens must have a sunny, dry
scratching place for rainy days and by
all means they must have a dry, warm
place for their sleeping quarters.
Three people have written to me about
the chicken cholera remedy the Florida
lady sent. 1 gave my paper away, so
must ask her to please send 1t once
more In the meantime | will say that
bad cases of indigestion are often taken
for cholera. turkey was off his feed
and l gave him two teaspoonfuls of ep-
som salts in moistened meal that had
a teaspoonful of soda in it. l put him
g.. Il
then l gave him buttermilk and corn
bread mixed. The soda corrected fer
mentation and the salts took off guam
tity of stuff as green as grass. The
third day l gave bread and milk and
he can't be told from the others in the
flock Every day covered the green
droppings with lime and after he left
the coop 1 covered the ground with
ashes.
Sometimes a torpid liver comes from
too much corn, then the comb turns
black. A good cathartic pill followed by
caster oil or vaseline generally brings
the matter to a focus. L must confess
that when a chicken gets a bad case of
indigestion there is not much hopes for
il. to ever be really thrifty, so the
best way is to see your flock with a
seeing eye" every day and when one
looks off color take it right in the
hands and diagnose the case.
The standard roup remedies are largely
made up of permanganate of potash and
a little of that in the drinking water
during cold, damp weather tones the
system and keeps off colds. You will
be amazed if you have not used it, 10
see how small pinch will make a
gallon of water a deep wine color or
purple.
Let them have fresh water often on
cold days, and make it so that when you
pour it in the drinking vessel it will be
luke warm. They will drink more of it
and the egg supply will not be affected
by the freeze. You know that the egg
is more than two-thirds water
On no account fool yourself into think
ing that the large proportion of water
means that the hens need not be fed
