is somewhat lighter in weight than it:
. mate which carries its wings in norma
condition. Notice the plumpness of the
one and the bony framework of the
other, and it will not take you long tc
decide that the trouble with the puny
one is NOT that its wings have grown
too rapidly and thus weighted it down,
but that its body has not developed with
the equal rapidity of its wings, thus it
is lacking in strength.
1t will also be found upon close in
spection that the legs of the normal or
healthier bird are almost twice the size
of those of the puny fowl. And in ad-
dition to this. the drOopy bird will lie in
your hand seemingly perfectly content
| ed, while the healthier one will struggle
manfully in an effort to get loose. In
its struggles you can detect the quiver
of every muscle in its body.
In summing up, we find the one full
of life and vigor, while the other can be
classed among the dead ones. Now, af-
ter making your comparison, liberate
both birds at once and note the differ
ence in them. The healthier or plump
one will run off and Immediately begin
to pick about in search of food. Not so
with the other 1t will probably take a
step or two, and then instead Of busy
ing itself hunting for food, it will be

vince them that the dropping of the
wings is not caused by their growth. !

puny, inactive birds to grow to matur- |

long and tiresome struggle they will af- |
forwards be discarded as unfit for use
II indeed they ever live to reach that |
stage. 1t rarely ever happens that the
droopy chick lives to reach the age of
maturity.
My advice is to kill off such specimens
of fowls and thereby make room for the
healthier and more vigorous of the
youngsters, and in the end, you will
have fowls that are worth Keeping.
Puny, sickly birds are a deal of trouble
and worry, to say nothing of the eXpense

QUEsTIONs AND ANsWERS.

Poultry Editor, The Chronicles:
Q.-I have some youngsters which are
very promising. but several have died
from a large swelling. Their breast
seems to get very large and hard, they
nope around and refuse to eat. After
few days they die off. What is the
trouble and how can l remedy it?
Alt is evident that they are suffer-
ing with hard crop-that is, the exit
from the crop has become clogged and
this makes it impossible for the food to
pass off. This then swells and becomes
very hard. Many persons resort to cut
ting the crop and removing all the sub
stance. This is a delicate operation and
very often proves serious. A similar
remedy is to give the bird several tea
spoonsful of heated milk. Then press
the crop gently, to mix it with the food
on the inside. This will then pass off in
the natural way and the cure is effected.
POULTRY POINTERS.

POULTRY POINTERS.

A bad practice that is now being in
dulged in by many persons who raise
chickens is the feeding of condiments to
the birds in an effort to stimulate egg
production. Mustard is about the most
common of those used, and while it may
produce the desired effect, yet | would
advise against such feeding. Good.
wholesome food, mixed with plenty of
exercise, will produce equally pleasing
results. and with the latter method, the
birds will keep their health far better
than where the former practice is fol-
lowed

Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Remove
Them With the 0thine Prescription.

This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by a prominent
physician and is usually SO successful
in removing freckles and giving a
clear, beautiful complexion that it is
sold by any druggist under guarantee
to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few appli-
cations should show a wonderful i'm
provement, some of the lighter freck-
les vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee.

squad.
The Savages went into the last half
of the second inning one run to the
good, but with two Ducklings on the
paths Lambeth muffed pop-up and
Agler, who is usually as certain as
sunrise, failed to handle a grounder-
These were the elements that entered
into the fray and as a result of them
the DuckIings put across three runs.
Luck Broke Bad.
However unlucky breaks through
out were responsible for the Savage
defeat. Manager Lattimore's battlers
continued to lambast the ball, getting
a total of 2 hits to the eight Lam
beth permitted the Ducklings to ac-
cumulate. Kruger was the big stick
man of the afternoon, getting one 2
Dagger and two singles out of four
times at the plate.
- But, in spite of their hitting. the
-Savages failed to manufacture runs
and were held countless from the first
to the seventh inning. Then, in the
seventh and eighth they got one each,
but the ninth was blank. The same

trail of the Savages all season, Ander-
son and Pontius, followed them to
Lincoln to work the whole series.

Many Good Players.
The main trouble with Topeka
tennis is that we do not have tourna-
ments to develop the undeniably good
tennis material we have here" r. A.
Shoemaker, former Topeka tennis
champ" said today. There are at
least 500 tennis players in Topeka and
all many out of that number need to
develop into good players is the fine
practice gained in tournament play"

players who are expected to enter this
spring tournament" are Shoemaker,

tennis class who will also contend.
The tournament is to be under the
direction of Bob Fullerton and r. N.

WILLARD'S WEIGHT.
Specu alton is rife as to what Jess
Wizards weight will be in his next
fight. The champion has been put
ting on avoirdupois constantly during
the past three CT four years, despite
almost constant training. Spending
the summer with a circus, where his
exercise will be mild, means greater
bulk by fall.
When Willard made his first ap-
pearance in New York he weighed
around 229, although he was as tall
then as now. A year or SO before he
won the championship he beamed in
the ighborhood of 235-fighting
condition He carried 247 pounds into
battle against Jack johnson and less
than year later, when he fought
Moran, his ring weight was 259. That
259 was reached only after a month
of strenuous reducing.
Willard right now is said to weigh
around 2S5, having taken on much
weight since he concluded. operations

the weight continues to attach itself
to his frame. Willard will notch be-
yond 500. That means he will have

Western Union Employees Wages
Raised on Their Own Merit.

Chicago. May 16.-The Western
Union Telegraph company has en-
joyed such an unprecedented increase
in its business since 1915 that a profit
sharing plan participated in by the
employees has been worked out and
set in motion within the last six
months, according to T. w. Carroll, di
vision traffic manager.
The plan emanated from the preSi-
dent of the telegraph company himself
and is based wholly on the efficiency
of the employees, who may now auto
matically raise their own salaries from
five to thirty per cent as they merit.

determine a mans worth and pay him

big leagues and then jumped to the
Feds, has applied to President Zeh-
