During the first four weeks Of the

INTO these heavier phases of duty. and

ed to take note of the special aptitude
of their recruits for particular kinds
Of service with the purpose of giving
them training for noncommissioned
officers. and ultimately for commits
siOns.
Youngsters of poor physique or weak
health are especially classified and are
given number of weeks of special
light training with the purpose of
building them up before they shall un-
dertake the serious work of being
turned into soldiers. In this regard
alone the benefits accruing to many
thousands of young men have been in
calculable.

Use of Camera in Training
Marksmen Saves Ammunition

A saving Of ammunition In the train
ing OF a marksman has been made
possible by remarkable apparatus
recently patented by an English In
ventor.
The invention ian be easily attached
10 rife, and consists Of n small cylin-
drical camera which fastens to the
under side Of the barrel. and Is fitted
with telescope focusing device. so
positioned that its line Of focus Is par
nllel to the gun barrel. Immediately
In front Of the trigger of the weapon
second trigger is placed. which Ii con-
nected with the camera-shutter by a
wire.
When a marksman has aimed his
gun and pulls the trigger. the camera
trigger is operated just an instant be-
fore the gun trigger. and consequently
a snapshot Is secured of the target
that the gun was pointed Mt. The po-
sition Of the target as 1t appears on
the developed plate or film will indi-
cate the accuracy Of the shot. II the

not only stimulate the appetite and the

Man Is an OmniverOus being. We

in these times of high nervous tension
we should have meat or some good
vegetable protein as substitute in
moderation once day.
In addition to this we want fat, pref
erably butter or cream or fats of ami
mails, the latter only cooked sufficiently
to heat them through. With the pro-
teins and fats we want carbohydrate
(starch or sugar).
Today there are many diet lists be-

tables based upon their heat-producing
power. The trouble with these diet re-
ceipts is that they are based upon

Everything in Russia Is
New Since the Revolution;
Even Smile Is Different

Everything Is new in Russia. As
one correspondent sees 1t, and PetrO-
grad in particular, he declares that
even the smile is different. 1t Is with
out sickness or hypocrisy. The ladies'
are wearing revolution-color skirts,
red feathers in their hats.
The Nevsky prospect has become a
kind Of Quarter Latin. Book hawkers
line the pavement and cry sensational
pamphlets about Rasputin and Mich
olas, and who is Lenine, and how
much land will the peasants get. Re
turned exiles fit through the crowd,
recognizable by the Rue Bertolet cut
Of their clothes and their hair
Even that ancient institution, the
fve-o'clock procession of Chinovniks
going home from government offices,
has lost Its typical cOlOring. One
misses at first the staid, familiar fig
ures, till one suddenly realizes that
those rather long-haired young men,
swinging or slithering along with port
folios under their arms, must, OF
course, be the new ChinOvniks.
Newsboys used to carry papers in a
bag. Now there are so many papers
and such a demand for them that the
hawkers have had to imprOvise stalls
at the street corners, and one may
pause there and watch the play Of po-
litical sympathies and antipathies as
the hard-faced young workman buys
the Maximalist Pravda, or the dreamy
student buys the Radical Den. or some
stout elderly gentleman buys the
Novoe vremya with melancholy air
Of resignation.

Music a Necessity.

In time Of peace music is the Joy OF
nations.
In time Of war 1t is the safety valve
The physical pressure of mental
strain. finds relief in music.
While we economize in food and
other necessities we must be lavish
with music.
The antidote for aching hearts is
music.
The stirrer of red blood-in patri.
otic outburst-is music.
Music is nm expression OF love-the
tone OF grief-a solace Of solitude
an inspiration to war.
The tear-stained melodies of the
Slav--the song-told tragedies of Italy
the love-given Joy Of the French
all make our lives happier and our
sorrows easier to bear.
Give us life and give us music.
Take away advertising. electricity
steam-the world would live.
Take away music and the soul of
the universe is dead.-Exchange.

AS the chicks grow they need more
room. 1t does not pay to let them
crowd.
Tough grass is of no value as a green
food. Better sow some quick growing
crop.
Feed hoppers greatly reduce the
work. If they are kept filled, the
chicks will never 60 hungry.
II your chicks are not doing well
something Is wrong. Look cut for Ice
and for worms In the intestines.
Two-year-old hens had better be
sent to the market. They seldom pay
for their feed If kept over a third sea-
son.
Shade is one of the most important
essentials during the hot months. Get
the chicks into the orchard and corn
field.
Young stock will do better If not
compelled to pick their living with the
old. There will also be less trouble
from lice.
Grit and oyster shell should be in
cluded in the ration for both young
and old. To neglect this would be
poor economy.
A growing chick will not thrive on
short rations. II the right kind of
food is fed. there Is little danger Of
overfeeding, especially II they are
given plenty or range.
Supplement the regular feeds with a
wet mash-fed crumbly. Feed all the
chicks will clean up before going to
roost, but none should be left in the
trough, for 1t will sour.
Mark the pullets this fall so that
you will know just how old your hens
are. A leg band on the right leg one
year and on the left leg the next will
assist in culling the flock. A hog ring
will serve the purpose.
