NEW MIGRATORY BIRD RULES
Agriculture Department Seeks to Mod
lily the Season on Water Fowl in
Certain Sections.

Modification of the federal migratory
bird regulations prescribing daily
closed season on all migratory game
and insectivorous birds from sunset to
half an hour before sunrise, instead OF
from sunset to sunrise, is proposed by
the department of agriculture, and. II
approved by President Wilson. will be
put into effect.
Another change proposed would
make an open season for waterfowl
from September 16 to December 81,
inclusive, in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado. Nevada, Idaho and
parts of Oregon and Washington lying
east of the summit of the Cascade
mountains.
These changes are designed to unity
the season on waterfowl In the north
ern zone, and, in most instances, are
made to conform with the open sea-
son under state laws.

According to teachers of deaf mutes,
musical instruction is more important
as an educational factor for the deaf
child than 1t is for the hearing. OF
course 1t is doubtful If the totally deaf
child can learn to distinguish pitch or
the accepted sense. But there Is no
question that they feel music and that
it stirs their emotions. In the New
York Institution for the Deaf, eye
rhythm, body rhythm and motion
rhythm are all utilized.

Life Is Il factor scientific medicine

The digestive tract and its many

the body, are governed by the nervous
system. They vary greatly In their life
power to produce digestive secretlons.
For the reasons given each individual,
after once realizing that meats. fat,
starches and sugar are necessary In
various proportions to maintain his
health, will have to make an intensive
study of what digests, so as to give
him the best health and keep up his
weight to give him energy, and permit
him to sleep. and to be of good cheer.
You viii always find that people diff
fer from each other in their selection
of foodstuffs, some doing we'll on a
large psoportion of vegetable food, 9th
ers doing better on Il reasonable
amount of meat and carbohydrates ot
starch while others have to avoid
starches and sugar to prevent violent
indigestion and i'll health.
We often find powerful men who live
on very little food. while many frsil
lily nourished people have good appe
tites and eat plenty. These things are
hard to explain. The laws of nature
are SO profound that even today In this
scientific age we find the digestion o.
people differs so that we must at pres
ent attribute it to the variation of lifi
force.
From our actual experience in life
after long devotion to the feeding O
people, we have learned that n mixe'
diet Is essential to good health. Tn
practical experience Of the individual
must be factor In guiding him Il
the selection of foods and the quantlr

Banana stalks may help to solve the

yielded 1873 pounds of dry matter, con-
taining 1871 per cent potash, or about
two-thirds as much as is yielded by the

AS the chicks grow they need more
room. Ii does not pay to let them
crowd.
Tough grass is of no value as green
food. Better SOW some quick-growing
crop.
Feed hoppers greatly reduce the
work. If they are kept filled, the
chicks will never go hungry.
If your chicks are not doing well
something is wrong. Look out for Ice
and for worms in the intestines.
Two-year-od hens had better be
sent to the market. They seldom pay
for their feed If kept over third sea-
son.
Shade is one Of tie most important
essentials during the hot months. Get
the chicks into the orchard and corn
field.
Young stock viii 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. If the right kind of
food is fed, there is little danger of
overlooking, especially If they are
given plenty or range.
Supplement the regular feeds with q
wet mash--fed crumbly. Feed all the
chicks will clean up before going tc
roost, but none should be left in the
trough, for it will sour.

Government Sure to Fix Food
- Prices.

Washington, D. G., April Is
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
and Congressman A. F. Lever
chairman of the House Commit
tee on Agriculture, have agreed
on the immediate adoption in Con
gress of measures which in effect
will turn over to the Government
a thorough supervision of the pro
duction, handling and sale Of all
foodstuffs in the United States.
The legislation contemplated is
drastic and comprehensive, and
affords an accurate measure of
the seriousness with which the De-
partnient Of Agriculture regards
the food situation in the United
States today. Not all the provis-
ions are to become effective at
once, in the event Of the legisla-
tion is passed, but the Federal
Government is given almost un-
limited power in the production
of foodstuffs from the decision as
to the acreage to be planted to the
actual sale Of farm products in
the market. Authority will be
given the Government to take
over and conduct the business Of
marketing foodstuffs in any case
where it is thought the situation
warrants.
With grain prices hitting new
high levels, a price-fixing provis-
ion has become, a certainty.
Whether it will be operative i'm
mediately depends on the outcome
of discussions now being held by
Secretary Houston with various
leaders in Congress. Some favor
a prompt assumption by the Gov
eminent of the power to fix
prices. These persons are actual
ed by the evident intention of
many dealers in food to make cap
ital of the international. situation
and the shortage of foodstuffs by
charging extortionate prices.
Another radical proposal, also
IN innovation in the business of
war, is actual conscription
If boys and men into an agricul-
tural army. All the emergency
measures are receiving favorable
consideration by members of Con-
PRESS.
According to q statement issued
" the Department Of Agriculture
he level Of prices paid producers
4 the United States for the prin-
ipal crops increased about 81 per

Rev. George A. Philips Comes Forward With a Word of Praise

Japan Is Also Greatly Benefited.


Great preachers throughout this
section Of the country have been
most untiring in telling the truti
about Dreco. the new herb medicine
in urging sick people to use it, and
nt the same time they themselves
have employed the great remedy in
their own homes with results that
have steadily kept up their faith in
its h~ealth-giving powers.
1t is significant hat Dreeo stands
alone as the one medicine that is
freely used in the homes of clergy
men and prominent people in almost
every profession and business.
No class of men have the public's
good so disinterestedly at heart as
clergymen; none others see so init.
mltely the affairs of so many homes.
1t is their business to know the sal
side, sorrows and sufferings. AS con-
fident, friend and spiritual comforter
they learn the truth as even the fam
lily physician often fails to do.
And there are a number of promi-
tent c.ergymen who recommend Dire

some member needs a general build
