FREE RANGE IS BENEFICIAL
Growing Chicks Should Be Supplied With as Much Natural Green

Whenever it is possible, growing chicks should be allowed free range. so they may obtain as much natural green feed as they need in addition to bugs and worms. When green feed cannot be obtained on range, such feed as sprouted oats, cut clover, mangei- wurzel beets, etc, should be fed daily.

'Today's Anniversaries


Lens, the great center of the
French coal industry, which the Ca
nadians are now seeking to wrest
from the Germans, was the scene of
bloody battle on Aug. 20, 1913, when
the French under Condo defeated the
Spaniards and imperialists under
Archduke Leopold. The latter lost
three thousand killed and five thou
sand prisoners. Another great. battle
was fought on this date was the bat
tie of Narva, in 1904. The town was
taken by assault by Peter the Great,
who on the occasion killed several
of his soldiers with his own sword,
for disobedoience in committing ex-
cesses upon the inhabitants. He had
been defeated here four years pre-
vious by Charles XII. 1t was on Aug.
20, 1886 that the trial of the Chi
cago anarchists came to an end. Sew
en- of them were sentenced to hang
and one to Imprisonment for life. 1t
was also on this date in 1888 that
the grand review of the fleet was
held in New York har5or after the
ships had come into home waters at
the time of the Spanish American
war.

Really Removes Hair

Worker)

Without doubt the greatest thing
yet discovered for air-disf1gured wo-
mankind is the wonderful phelactine
method 1t has none of the disadvan-
tages Of electrolysis or depilatories
and, best of all, it removes the hairs
entire, roots and all! 1t does this in
stantly, leaving the skin so smooth
and soft that no one can tell the user
was ever the possessor Of moustache
or other hairy growth.
Phelactine is non-odorous, non
Irritating, and SO harmless a child
could eat it without any ill-effect. A
stick of this remarkable substance, ac-
companied by simple instructions, can
be obtained at any drugstore, and its
price will be refunded upon request
in case of dissatisfaction But what
woman would not be satisfied and de-
lighted after seeing those ugly hairs

DIR. c. c. Godfrey. of Bridgeport,
who is chairman of the Committee
on Sanitation and Medicine of the
Connecticut State Council of Defense,
contends that, from the medical stand
point, the most serious mistake made
by Great Britain in the war was in
the method of supplying the army
with medical officers and the disre-
gard Of the future need of medical
men to care for the civil portion of
the country. DIR. Godfrey was ask
ed by a representative of the Connec-
ticut State Council of Defense, in a
series of .'Made-in-Connectic War
Interviews the question What seri-
Gus mistake Of Great Britain does our
method Of raising an army avoid ?"
and made the following statement:
AT the beginning OF the war, Eng
land called into service large num-
hers of her best surgeons and enlist
ed the able bodied men from the
corps of medical students for service
An the army. This was done with
the one object of caring for the army
needs and without proper considera-
Hion ofsthe many other objects which
require medical skill. For 1t Is just
as essential that medical men should
care TOT the CIVIL, as II is tnat tney
should care for the military require
ments.
Depicting the hospitals and sparse
ay settled portions of the country
of medical men and the medical
schools Of their faculties and students,
soon brought about a condition where
needed medical aid could not be had,
and the needed yearly increment to
fhe numbers Of the medical profess
sion, with internes FOR the necessary
needs of the hospitals, was cut off.
This may not have seemed SO seri-
Gus at the time, in the light that it was
generally believed in England that
the war would not last a year, and
when the statement of Lord Kitch-
ener as to a. three years duration was
ridfcu1ed.
''It has resulted, however, in having
every available man called to the COL
ors and has caused great confusion in
the flling of medical offices with COM
potent men, as. in boards of health,

SENATE PASSES SHELTER BILL
Six Railroad Measures Considered by
the House.

tne Rouse.
Denver.-The long-expected fight
over the so-called railroad bills de-
velOped in the House, when a deter
mined effort placed the bills on the
calendar for consideration. These
measures, of which there are six,
were introduced at the request of the
organized railroad employees of the
state. The issue developed as a re-
suit of THE submission of majority
and minority reports of committees
on the measures. These bills pro-
vided for full crews on freight trains.
semi-monthly pay days for railroad
employees, prohibition of tests on
signaling without notice, prohibition
of switching of locomotives backward.
and requiring the employment of eX-
the service.
The Senate passed the bill by Sena-
tors Fincher and Candlish providing
for an investigation of the smelling
industry on third reading by vote
of 81 to 8.
Senate on Senator Napier's civil serv-
ice bill which has been placed at the
head of the calendar under adverse
reports. It came out of the commit
tee with majority and minority re-
ports.
Action by the House in killing the
Senate bill to renew the lease of the
penitentiary convict farm at Avondale
was followed by a favorable report of
the Colgate bill by the House appro-
priations committee. The Colgate bill
provides for the purchase of 1880
acres of privately-owned tracts in
Garden Tract cafon, ten miles from
Canon City, for the establishment of
new convict farm. The bill carries
an appropriation of $4,000.
By vote of &c to 20 the House
killed the Mishou bill licensing autos
according to weight instead of on the
basis of horsepower. o
The Horton bill met with no opposi-
ton. 1t provides that the state
armory at Montrose be utilized for
athletic purposes by the Montrose
High school, and shall serve as the
drill hall for any cadet corps or other
volunteer military organization.
Girding its loins for the dash
toward the final adjournment day,
March "a, the Senate named Sena-
tors Adams, McWilliams and Lewis,
Democrats, and Hayden and Dodge,
Republicans, as special order calen-
dar committee. There are pending in
the Senate and in the House upwards
of 900 bills. Among the important
bills to be acted on are the temper
ance bills, the highway bills revising
the state highway laws. the educa-
tional code, the budget system for
state appropriations and the appro-
priation bills.
