Became a Bit Worried.

The conversation at Il recent social
affair turned to the beautiful inditfer-
ence of some children, when this story
was fittingly related by Representa-
tive Frank l.. Greene of Vermont:
Recently small party named Bes-
sic had a birthday, and a little girl
friend of her own age was invited to
come around and help her celebrate
the glad occasion. Both We're given
cake and things, and afterward they
happily pranced off to the upper part
of the house.
Two hours later the mother of BeS-
sic went to look for the children and
found her sweet child sitting alone in
a great armchair nibbling on rem
nant of the dainty repast.
"Why, Bessie" exclaimed the sur
prised mother, glancing around the
room, "where is your little friend?"
I'VE We're playing hide and seek In
the attic" calmly answered Bessie, rs
she continued to nibble her cake. land
gave up looking for her quite long
time ago."

The Ruling Passion.

''I'm sorry, Rollo," said the young

we can never marry. You see"
"Yes. l see!" he interrupted bitterly
"YOu cannot marry me because

And with this quotation he strobe
forth into the night.
But there is always Chapter II.
Three weeks later our hero again
stood in the presence Of our heroine.
II have come back to renew my
suit" he said.
"But, Rollo, did not tell you that
it was hopeless?"

No Food Takes Place of
Potato, Says Department
of Agriculture Bulletin

"There Is no food which exactly
takes the place of the potato when one
is accustomed to it," says statement
issued by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, urging an In
creased consumption Of this vegetable,
now that the markets Of the country
are well supplied.
1T has come to be such part of
our dinner that We miss 1t when 1t Is
not served. Besides. any leftover pO-
tato can be used in many very pala-
table ways for breakfast or supper,
and this is a convenience from the
housekeeper's standpoint, since 1t helps
her to make palatable meals. Not only
Is 1t useful from the ease with which
it can be prepared and the number Of
palatable ways in which 1t can be
served, but 1t is very important for
the food material 1t supplies. 1t is

Many Thousands of Horses
and Mules Are Used in War.

Despite the fact that the great war
is being waged largely by means Of
mechanical devices, horses and mules
have played an important part in it.
Up to the present time, says Popular
Science Monthly. 100000 horses and
100000 mules have been sent to the
theater of war from the United States.
The value of the horses which have
been exported is 104,OOO,OOO, and Of
mules $66OOO,OOO.
The number Of mules being sent to
the war Is increasing from year to
year. The sagacity Of the mule makes
him very valuable in war work. Most
Of the horses and mules shipped from
this country go directly to France.
Others are sent to Great Britain and
Canada and few to some of the other
European countries.

FOR The POULTRY
GROWER
Heavy Feeding in Winter.

Many reasons have been given for
the scarcity Of fresh eggs during the
late fall ana winter months. The reg
ular poultryInan gets Il gOodly number
of eggs during all seasons of the year.
and the writer Is firm in the belief that
few eggs are produced Oh the farms OF
the country during the cold months
because the hens are underfed, says u
contributor to farm journal. The
poultry raiser Is prone to forget that
his hens require more feed ana better
attention during the cold months than
they do during warm weather. Even
the hens that are penned the year
around, require much more food in
winter because a large part OF the
food eaten must 60 to maintain bodily
heat.
For winter feeding, the only safe
rule to follow is to feed the hens all
they will eat. Many skimp their hens
on feed during the cold months, be
lieving that if they feed heavily, the
hens will become too fut to lay. n
hen gets too fat to lay not because
she is fed too much, but because she
is fed too heavily on producing
foods. Like cattle and hogs, hens re-
quire certain amount Of bulky foods,
and unless these foods are fed. 1t will
not be possible to get many eggs dur
ing the cold months.
One-half the food supplied the hens
should be ground, in the form of Ell
Their wet or dry mash. The mash
cupy a relatively large bulk in proper
ton to its food constituents. One-half
the mash should be composed Of bulky
foods, as bran and cut clover or cut al
falfa. The other half Of the mash
should be Of such concentrated foods
as middlings, corn bread and beef
scraps. The bran and cut clover will
in bulk, be fully three times greater
than the other ingredients in the mash.
The feeding of green food, or the
green food that fowls obtain on range
will make the ration still more bulky.
and hens can safely be fed all they
will eat, when fed equal parts Of Il
bulky mash and grains.
In cold weather feeding, animal food
must be included in the ration If a
good egg yield is expected. This may
not be in the form Of beef scrap or
green cut bone. If plentiful supply
of skim or buttermilk Is ut hand the
beef scrap or bone may be dispensed
with. The mash should be wet with
the milk. In addition to this, milk
hens can help themselves at will. One
need not fear that the hens will over
eat of the milk. Milk will not take the
place of water. and where milk is kept
before the hens in vessels all the time.
water should also be supplied.

Up in Canada there is successful

starch, and is also fairly rich in the
mineral matter which the body needs.
OF the mineral salts one must not
overlook the Importance of the mild
alkaline salts 1t contains, because
these are greatly needed by the body
to counterbalance the acid salts which
meats and eggs produce when assimi
lated. In this we have q justification
of the use of potatoes in the diet in
liberal quantities and of our common
custom of serving them with meats.
When the price permits potatoes
should by all means be made part

TO THE MOTHER
BY Edgar Rice Burroughs.

One Saturday afternoon a boy in
uniform came up to Chicago from
Camp Grant. on leave. It may be that
he was your boy-I do not know. He
was a stranger in Chicago. He went
to movie show and then he walked
the streets searching for something,
for anything to relieve the gnawing
ache Of the inconsistencies in his heart.
He could not enter a saloon and to
drink II he had so desired, for he was
in uniform; but there were other,
more alluring, deadlier forms Of vice
that were not denied him. They Of
fered him human companionship and
a substitute for love-hOwever sordid
and mercenary a substitute It might
be.
He stood on a street corner and
watched thousands pass, and never In
all his life before had he felt 80 alone
and lonely.
Then a woman accosted him. She
was a handsome. well-dressed woman.
and she awed the boy little. so that
he shuffled his feet, and stammered.
and blushed. but he went with her.
They boarded a car together and went
to her home. The boy thought 1t quite
the most beautiful place he had ever
seen. The woman called young girl
down from IN upper door. This p

drew their attention to stately old

with n courtly bow and said: Good

The old woman looked at him and
