Warming Drinking Water

Ice does not make very good
egg material for biddy to work
over. As egg contents are about
IS per cent water, it is necessary
to give hens plenty Of water if the
owner wants eggs.
Thousands of fowls have to
eat snow or ice throughout the
winter for most of their water
supply, the owners giving them a
little cold water in pan nearly
full of ice from previous water
inc, if they happen to think about
it.
The best results are obtained
by giving warmed water in re-
ceptacles which will not permit
the contents to freeze for several
hours, and then replenish the sup
ply when the first lot becomes
cold. 1t takes a lot Of heat units
to warm the ice water taken into
the hen s system before it is at
blood heat and in condition to
become part Of an egg, SO it is
cheaper to warm the water before
giving to fowls.

1t may be stated authoritative.
ly, that danger of rupture OF
diplomatic relations has passed
and the controversy now enters
the same stage as the Lusitania
negotiations with Germany, on
even a more favorable basis.
Austria in the Ancona case has
subscribed to the principle that
no ships will be sunk unless they
offer resistance or flee without
the persons aboard being brought
to safety. This is considered an
assurance that is far reaching
and satisfactory.
Germany only promised not to
attack liners until the persons
aboard had been placed in boats
The extennt of the designation
liners never has been cleared up
and the American government
does not concede that placing per-
sons in boats necessarily assures
their safety.
Points which Austria leaves for
further diplomatic correspond
ence are not considered of ma
ture to bring on new crisis.
Chief among them are questions
of fact which affect Austria's re-
sponsibility. for what happened
before the submarine commander
torpedoed the Ancona, and their
Importance is minimized by the
promise to pay indemnity for
Americans lost regardless of the
absence of proof as to just how
they met their death. !
The mere statement that the
submarine commander has been
punished for not making allow
ances for the panic on the ship un-
doubtedly will be accepted with
out question and without further
inquiry as to its nature.
One of the features of the case
which has attracted wide atten-
ton in official and diplomatic
is the apparent simple
ity of the proceedings in the An
coma case with those in the Lusi-
tania controversy. In both cases
observers noted that the foreign
office view finally prevailed ov-
err those Of the admiralty, which
in each case was hostile to the

of their stories.
Miss Simmerman gave an original
adaptation of Kate Langley Bosher's
famous MARY Carey" and in such
a charmingly direct manner did she
present it that all were Immediately
captivated with the little orphan. In
this was afforded splendid illustra-
tion of participation in narration as
an essential quality of dramatic art.
While the little orphan provoked
uncomfortable laughter, the pathos
of her life crept in so wistfully and
SO beautifully that all rejoiced to
the point of Jumps and tears when
she found her "Uncle Doctor" and
helped him to marry her beloved
Miss Katherine.
Miss Simmerman deserves much
praise for her beautiful work. The
simple charm of the story given with
such fidelity by the charming reader
will long remain with us.
