see how they would act when Woody.
In half an hour an entire hen coop full
OF specimens was al packed as a

Mr.. Pearl stated that when the hens

they were cackling "hic-a-doodle-do"
the scientists began to take notes on
their condition and upon what oc-
CURED. They were amazed to find
that the hens laid more eggs than they
had ever laid before and that both
hens and ROSTERS fattened up so that
it vas almost a crime to let them live.
However, those that had imbibed grew
lazy and quarrelsome and in the end
were not fit to eat, in a manner of
speaking.
For all the laymen present knew,
this may prove something. From a
strictly nonscientific point of view, it
would seem that too much booze is no
better for a hen than for a hick.

a "bonehead" and also threw a box of

that the matches ignited when they
struck the wall and set fire to a dress

woman alleges, her husband shouted,
