HEN FREAK BREAKS RECORD
One Of Wlseonsin's 5idaies' Egg
Matches Chicken and
Half Out

Attracted the other day 10 his incu-
bator by promising peep, peep"
Fremont Lounsbury saw emerging
from shell little BAH Of fur with
half-chicken alongside. The whole
fowl was perfect. The half fowl had
no wings, neck or head. otherwise 1t
was all chicken should lie.
Lounsbury explains the birth OF the
chicken and half In a most convinc-
ing manner. He says that some time
ago one of his hens was run over by
motorcycle with a side car attached.
He did not think much OF the accident
at the time, but now recalls that the
unfortunate hen was the one that laid
the egg that produced the chicken and
half. Therefore Lounsbury asserts
that chickens also are subject TO pre-
natal influence.

a new supply of gasoline. An S0-horse-

Heroic French Soldier Calmly
Helps Manned Fellow
Hero.
EACH WOUNDED IN The LEG
Surgeons Are Watching a Remarkable
Operation In Great Hospital in
Paris-Bound Like Siamese
Twins.

Paris.-One of the most remarkable
surgical operations on record is now
being performed at the Grand Palais,
the massive building usually used for
the annual Salon, but now transformed
into vast hospital. Here two sol
diers lie side by side, bound together
like Siamese twins, while Il large por-
ton Of the leg of one of them is be-
ing slowly transferred into the leg OF
the other one.
Noted surgeons gather about. watch
ing the slow progress, which they re-
gard as marvellous both from a sur
gical standpoint and from the senti-
mental. one soldier calmly giving day
by day part of his body to a fellow
hero.
Lie on Operating Table.
The two men lie on their backs on a
large operating table. They lie in OPP
posite directions, the head Of one near
the feet of the other, like the figures
on playing cards. They are among the
most seriously wounded Of the more
youthful solders-one is twenty-six
and the other twenty-three years old.
The younger, Rousselot, was wound
ed in the leg at the battle of Nor
hange in the early days Of the war.
He was taken prisoner to Germany,
where the surgeons say he did not re-
ceiye intelligent attention. Brought
back here last September, it was ne
cessary to perform a second operation
TO lengthen his reg II centimeters
| (about five and a half inches). But
after the extension was reformed.
there was still a lack of bony matter
between the two portions of the bro
ken femur.
Surgeons Get an idea.
The other soldier, Tillette, an artil-
lery man, was seriously wounded In
the leg two months ago in the desper-
ate fight over Fort Douaumont. In a
| field operation his leg was amputated
| above the knee. Later II was found
that a second operation was necessary
in order to shorten the leg by some
| centimeters.
II was at this point that the sur
geOns concluded that the one who need.
ed the shortened leg could give up
this portion to the soldier who needed
the longer leg. Now, after some weeks,
the two soldiers lie there on their
backs, the right thigh of Rousselot
against the left thigh of Tillette. bound

diminishing of" Schools Also.

The newly licensed pilot is then sent
to the finishing off school at Pau. He
has now said good-by to slow machines
and will start to perfect his skill in
landing, probably on a three-cylinder
Morane, as the Morane has the same
kind of landing ftments as the Nieu-
port and it is much cheaper in case of
smashing wood" He is promoted to
six-cylinder and ten-cylinder Moranes
until he has made ten perfect landings.
He then mounts a 23-meter (75-fOOt
spread) Newport as passenger with
monitor, who shows him what Nieu-
port can do. Then he tackles this
Newport alone and when he has made
20 perfect landings on it he is allowed
to, mount a 60-foot Newport, a smaller
hut more powerful machine. On this

are about eighty graduates, almost all

and few Americans, who are treated
by the army officials as if they were

The pilot who has sufficient aptitude
then passes to the "ecole de combat"
or fighting school. Others are sent in
to bombarding work or signaling. But

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incombus-

the food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimentarys canal certain
amount of indigestible material, which
il not completely eliminated from the

millions Of oActeria which infest the

are formed and sucked into the blood.

little, but Is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more i'm
portant than outside bathing, because
the skin pores do not absorb impure
ties into the blood. causing poor health,
while the bowel pores do. Just as soap
and hot water cleanses, sweetens and
freshens the skin, so hot water and
