SHARP PROTEST BY J.. S.
TO TURK GOVERNMENT
Violation of Consular Seal by Gov
ernor General of Syria
Alleged.

The recent action Of the governor
French and British consulates at
Beirut and carrying off the archives of
those two countries after the Amer-
can consul general had placed the
United States seal on their doors has
been made the subject of a vigorous
protest by the United States to the
Turkish government
Many prominent Syrians recently ex-
ecuted by the Turks were condemned
because their names appeared in papers
taken from the violated consulates Ac-
mere presence of the names in the con-
sular records served as a death war
rant, without further proof of antag-
onism to the Turkish government.
Under Strained Relations.
The American consul general, W.
Stanley Hollis. already had strained his
relations with the local authorities at
Beirut by his activities in behalf of
the citizens of allied countries left in
his care upon the withdrawal of the
When the Turkish governor demand
ed access to the consulate's papers, Mr..
Hollis not only refused it, but appealed
to the American embassy at Constan-
tinople. which filed a formal remon-
STRANGE with the porte. Even this was
unavailing. The papers were taken
and still are held.
Protests Are Not Effective.
Turkey early in the war renowned
the capitulations to free herself of re-
straints imposed by joint international
treaties, and in this case is alleged to
have violated a well established prin-
ciple of International law which Off
Gals here say must be maintained
whether or not treaties exist
Little satisfaction has been obtained
from any of the numerous protests
lodged at Constantinople since the war
began, but it is hoped at the State De-
partment that in this case punishment
of the offender may be brought about

ASTHENIA IN POULTRY FLOCK
Not Much Use in Trying to Save Fowl
Affected With Disease-It
Should Be Killed.

Asthenia Is the disease commonly
known as "going light" and is caused
by almost any condition which tends
towards the wasting of the muscles,
especially tuberculosis and worms,
says a writer in an exchange. Avoid
this disease by providing clean, dry,
well-ventilated houses; grass run
for the birds, and no moldy grain or
litter for them to get into. The af-
fected birds should be killed and
burned. There is not much use in
trying to cure bird that has adj
vanced far enough in the disease to
be detected.
The danger of such diseases is that
the condition of the bird in the first
stages is not known unless she is
handled and her weight noted. A dis
eased bird that tufts out its feathers,
as many do, Is hidden menace to the
flock. There is apparently less dis
ease proportionately In a small flock
than in a large one.
We believe the reason for this Is
that the individual birds are known In
small flock, and their condition
readily ascertained, while In a large
flock sick bird may not be detected
until 1T has reached the last stages.

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
Great Need FOR Increase by
Farmers in This Country.
Department. of Agricultural Has Been
Trying for Years to Shew Them
Comparatively New Product
Of This Country.

The average American consumes 50
pounds of sugar each year-and only
ten pounds Of that ration Is now pro-
daced In this country. The farmers
of the country should keep that money
at home, in other words, put it IN
their own pockets. and the department
OF agriculture has been trying for
10 years to show them how and In
duce them to do so.
Sugar Is a product of manufacture
mainly from the farmers sugar cane
and sugar beets. Incidentally some
sugar Is produced from the sap Of the
sugar maple-the entire value of that
product, both sugar and strip, and
the sorghum strip. being only about
$15,OOO,0OO annually, while the total
value of the sugar beet and sugar cane
industries of this country totaled

product of this country, and can

years ago. The production during the

FEED ALFALFA WITH SILAGE
Particularly Adapted for Young Cattle
Corn Must Be Fed to Produce
Solid Fat.

(By RAY A GATEwOOD. Kansas Agri-
cultural College.)
Alfalfa when fed with silage is par
ticularly we'll adapted as feed for
young cattle. In the beginning of the
fattening process, the cattle will con-
sumo from Is to 80 pounds of hay and
silage a day. Alfalfa hay fed alone
does not produce the same effect on
cattle that it does when fed In connec-
ton with silage, because the latter Is
more succulent and more palatable
than the former.
As cattle approach the marketable
point, corn must be fed In quantities
readily consumed to produce solid fat
At this stage alfalfa and silage should
not be fed in such large quantities as
formerly, because the cattle do not
reed the extra protein. Taking all
facts into consideration, alfalfa hay,
silage and corn are the most economi-
cal fat producers If fed in correct
proportions.

SAYS HYPNOTISM is EASY
Prof. Munsterberg Declares He Can
Bring Anybody He Ever Met
Under Complete SubJugation.

Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, the Har-
ward psychologist, says he can hypno-
tie anybody he ever met. according
to Cambridge (Mass.) dispatch to
the New York Evening Telegram. He
knows Kaiser Wilhelm very well, and
said he would not except the kaiser.
The Harvard summer school students
were told how easy 1t is to hypnotic
anybody, almost as easy as rolling
off log" The professor predicted
great field In the future for the expert
in mind control. He said:
'Hypnotism presents vast field for
the expert. 1t Is so easy to produce
the hypnotic trance that anyone can
do 1t on others, but 1t is exceedingly
dangerous when thoughtlessly or ig-
norantly used. ii is simply a case Of
increasing the SUCCESSFULLY of the
mind, and 1t can be used In medicine
to cure the morphine fiend, the alco-
holic fiend and all who have abnormal
desires. Often only slight hypnosis
Is necessary to effect a cure for nerv-
Gus disorders.
Medicine, equally with law, Is u
be the food for the psychologist of thu

measured exactly by almost perfect
standards. The old methods are OBJ

TAX ON WAGE FARMERS DUE
Many English Workers May Escape
the Income Assessment Re-
Gently Levied.

Our civil service correspondent
writes, according TO the London Tele-
graph:
1.-THE first quarterly income tax as
SeSSment on wage earners is now due,
the period according to the finance act
of 1915, under which the rate was inn
posed, having commenced on April /,
this year. Only those earning wages
above f130 sterling ($650) a year are
liable. 1t is estimated that about 900,-
600 workers will come under survey,
but after the usual attachments and
reliefs are given large proportion of
those will be exempt, and it is as yet
impossible to say how many will be-
come actually liable to the tax, or
what amount may be expected to be
received.
when the abatement of f120 and
the relief in respect of children (f25
each) and the deductions for life in
surance are taken into account, 1t is
believed that the actual number of
wage earners who will pay income tax
will turn out much smaller than is
popularity supposed, unless the high
wages due to the war may upset pre-
viOus estimates. The tax may be paid
by weekly installments by means. of
post office stamps where the amount
of tax for any quarter exceeds six
shillings. This is a concession which
will greatly facilitate payment, and
no doubt will be largely avalled Of"
