BOMB PLOTS IN AMERICA HELD
UP AS WARNING AGAINST
GERMAN AGENTS IN SPAIN

PARIS, March 1.-(By Mai)-" A
vast army of German agents engaged in
surveillance Of Spanish ports and ship
ping'' is condemned by the Spanish
press and demands made on the gov
ernment to take steps to get the spies
out Of the country in papers arriving
here today; German bomb plots and
intrigue in America are pointed to as
examples Of waht the Spanish govern
ment is confronted with.
Since Spain s refusal to openly break
with Germany as a protest against the
submarine blockade, the Spanish press,
except the Germanophile organs, is
open in it's criticism.
The objecting papers carry lengthy
and detailed revelations of the methods
of German agents working in conjunc-
tion with the submarines. Ell Liberal,
the great newspaper Of Madrid, leads
in openly declaring that no ship now
leaves a Spanish port before it's de

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take Tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
4 cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless. - - zesssA

an important and vital part of

WHY DON'T my
HENS LAY?
BY g. E. Conkey.

Are you asking yourself this
question and wondering why it ia

If you are not getting eggs,
there is probably good reason
for it, 30 let us 60 over the situa.

things are not as they should be.
Aside from the high price Of eggs
at this time Of year, the increased
satisfaction and pleasure one gets
from caring for profitable flock
will make q little investigating
we'll worth while.
In trying to get winter eggs the
thing to remember is that condi.
tions now are unnatural for laying
and that these conditions must be
changed as much as possible into
favorable ones. In other words,
to be able to lay IN winter a hen
must be we'll housed, kept free
from lice, get plenty of exercise
and be fed properly.
You may have dry, clean, sani
tary poultry house yet not get
eggs, for there are other little
housing requisites that have a
wonderful influence on the egg
production. For instance, to keep
fowls healthy and secure winter
eggs it 10 essential that the poul
try house be well ventilated but
free from drafts. This can easily
be accomplished by having the
south side of the house contain a
good sized opening covered with
muslin or some other porous
cloth.
Plenty of exercise is at all times
essential to good egg yield, but it
is doubly important in winter.
At this season of the year hens
are unable to forage and, unless
they are made to exercise, they
are sure to become lazy and over.
fat-a condition that makes lay
ing impossible. To keep hens in
laying trim during cold weather
feed all grain IN a deep litter SO
that they will be compelled to
scratch for it.
