This Germ Shoots
Right Through Skin

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 19.-The tu-
bercle bacillus Familiarity known as
/" T. b." goes directly through the
skin or mucous membrane, according
to experiments that have just been
made at Johns Hopkins hospital by
the physicians who are making a deep
study of the disease.
ct. b." may travel through the cir
culation system like any other germ,
but there is an element of surprise
in the announcement made at Hopkins
that the bacillus may go through skin
and tissue without leaving any lesion
or anything to indicate its passage.
Infections in the throat may find
their way into the flesh OF the neck
and cause little damage, or they may
set up consumption in some part and
present menace TO the health of the
patient.
Danger of getting disease of this
kind from flying dust on q bright sun
ny street is slight, indeed, because the
exposure to sunlight means death to
most of the germs. Floor coverings,
especially where the sun seldom strikes
may .harbor the germs for long
periods.

Varied Menu For Cows
Brings Milk, Says Expert

Bozeman, Mont, Feb. 19.-"To have
dairy COW produce her maximum
flow of milk she must have the prop
er kinds. amount and variety of food"
Professor G. l.. Martin told the dairy
men who We're in attendance at the
State college Farmers week. When she
is after maximum of production she
has sufficient food to maintain her
body and to produce all the milk of
which she is capable. If more food
is supplied it goes into surplus flesh
and fat. If less food is supplied, milk
production falls off, for the amount
taken for bodily sustenance cannot be
reduced.
"A carefully balanced and frequent
ly varied ration is therefore necessary
with abundance of roughage to fill up
the large stomach space. Dairymen
who would feed for profit must con-
slider the value of the feed and it is
necessary sometimes to substitute a
cheaper and less efficient food, even
at some loss of the daily flow of milk,
rather than to pay the high prices
sometimes necessary for the most de-
sirable types of rich feed. Clean straw
stacks are good roughage for dairy
cattle"

Well Kirby McCrill so sizes up a trip

Kirby was among those summoned

be no trains coming to Leavenworth

Lamps For Hens So
They Work Longer

Nez Perces, Idaho, Feb. 19.-Gaso-
line lamps are used by Mrs. w. II.
Baringer to lengthen-the working day
of her hens. Mrs. Baringer lights the
lamps at six o'clock in the morning
in the winter months and keeps them
lighted until $40 p. m. In this way,
she says, she increases the egg out
put of her flocks.
Mrs. Baringer says a hen can't see
to scratch her dinner out of the litter
before s a. m, nor after $50 p. m,
which leaves Biddy only seven and
a half hours for work. BY adding to
the hens working hours, Mrs, Baringer
declares the efficiency Of the egg MAX
ing machine is increased.

There is gripping interest about
the soldiers life that makes a strong
appeal to vigorous Americans. This is
doubly true in time of war when the
soldier has a serious object in view
and gives his whole mind to his new
duties.
You will find this interest growing as
you advance New scenes and asso-
ciates will bring you new point of
view. You will be less wrapped up
than you have been in many purely
personal questions. YoYu will cut
loose from many of the petty details
which tend to smother mans indi-
viduality. You will devote more time
ii thinking.
The healthy good fellowship of the
camp also can not fail to stimulate
you. Thousands of men drawn from
all walks of life can not be thrown
suddenly together without bringing to
light many qualities previously un-
known. You will probably become
better acquainted with yourself than
you have ever been before.
In order to get the most out of this
new life you must devote yourself to it
heart and soul. A good start is half
the battle in making your way in the
army. Even if you are not much in
terested in military affairs-if you are
entering the service, not because of
personal inclination, but solely be-
cause it is one of your obligations as
a citizen-you are going to become
keenly interested after you once get
into the swing and spirit of the army.
This will be true in at least ninety
nine cases out of every hundred Rec
ognize it now and play the game hard
from the very start
Your Monthly Pay
While the men in the national army
are serving at the call of duty and not
for money, nevertheless everyone will
be paid more than enough to take care
of all necessary expenses. These ex-
penses are very slight. Clothing, food
and transportation are provided by the
government. In addition, the private
soldier receives $50 per month while

self but is sign that you are con-
centrating your time and energy on
your military duties; that you are
really playing the game.
The majority of the men who join
the national army are old enough and
have sufficient good sense and self
control to conduct themselves proper

special advice or supervision. How
ever, some suggestions may prove help

Making Use of Spare Time
The use that man makes of his
time off duty is a good test of his
character and of his capacity for
growth. The good soldier is self-re-
strained. Don't spend your time re-
peating indecent stories. They add
nothing whatever to your standing,
either with the men to whom you tell
them or with your officers. Avoid
boisterousness, vulgarity, and profan-
ity.
This doesn't mean at all that you
should keep yourself in the back
ground or that you should fail to be
