SPRINGFIELD, No. Jun In the
palatial homo OF Banker J II. Kreet,
set amidst bower Of trees, with
Ereensward Ranking away to swaying
ridges Of green slrubbery in the city's
newest and most fashionable resi-
dence section, the telephone suddenly
sends its summons echOing through
the house.
In the downstairs bedroom just
across the hall from where her baby
was stolen last week, Mrs. Keet, the
2S-year-old mother. arouses from her
stupor OF hopeless grief
She sits erect on her bed her body
tense. an eager CLINT playing lambent-
eyes.
Impulslvely her hand fiutters out,
reaching with quick, impetuous yearn-
ing to where the telephone tlnkles on
the wall Her young husband, who
has been sitting silently at her bed
side, his head bowed in his hands,
straightens in his chair.
lie turns HE head toward the little
instrument on the wall while his hands
grasp the chair arms and lifts his body
with stiff readiness. He seems TO fear
the message that telephone bell por-
tends. He seems 10 fear that perhaps 1t
is delusion that commanding tinkle,
and that he is hearing only an echo OF
other ringings that invoked hope only to-
cruelty dispel il.
The bell rings again. This time cen
tral herself is impatient She has for
gotten the grief in the bankers home.
She rings twice, almost viciously.
"Quicly, father. quickl They've found
himl" the mother cries, and she tries TO
escape the restraining hands Of her
nurse, who knows she shouldn't be al
lowed to leave the bed
The father clutches the telephone re-
ceiver nervously, trembling. He does not
any "Hello," nor does he say "this Is
Mr., Keet." He almost sobs into the
telephone:
slave You found him~
The mother listens and watches
watches the lines IN her husbands face.
He has hardly heard the first word that
comes TO the receiver when the mother
sinks back on her pillow with a moan.
The telltale lines have told her all she
wants TO knoew.

TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS
Remove Unhealthy Chicks And Pay
Close Attention To Sanitation

Since chickens, if feed to, can take
care of themselves "a me farm at this
time of the year, Ne growing stock
is often neglecte2 However. good
care should be CIV especially at this
time.
When tho ch.c's are about six weeks
old a mi%ta-a OF one part oats and
two parts lacked corn can be substi-
tuted for -e chick feed. Dry mash,
sour nj lad fresh water should al
ways "a Kept before them Plenty Of
shade II an abundance Of green feed
will - much toward keeping the
chicks in a healthy condition.
Crowding in hot, poorly ventilated
houses at night will reduce any gain a
chick may make on the range during
the day. An indication of crowding is
the dying of chicks one at time and
poor, thin, droopy condition. There
should be 4 chicks to the square foot
OF floor space in the colony house, and
they should be taught to roost while
young by putting the roost about II
inches above the floor.
Separating the sexes as soon as pos
sible will make the pullets grow much
faster, prevent crowding and reduce
the cost of raising The male birds
that are not wanted for breeding pur-
poses should either be confined to a
small pen for fattening or they should
be caponized. Instructions for capon-
ling may be secured by writing the
Poultry Department of the State Col
lege of Agriculture.
Cleanliness in caring for chicks can
not be emphasized too much. Wet,
sloppy mashes or mouldy feeds should
not be used The dish in which the
sour milk is fed should be washed at
least once a day and care should be
taken that the milk has not become
mouldy. Clean water is very essential
to the health of chicks since it acts as
tonic. The body contains about SIS
per cent water All chicks with linn
Der neck, colds, sorehead or chicken
pox should be removed from the flock
as soon as possible.
To clean chicken houses spray with
solution of one part of crude car
bolic acid to three parts of kerosene
oil Another spray of one hundred
parts whitewash to one part crude
carbolic acid is perhaps even better.
When crude carbolic acid cannot be
obtained either creosote or some good
stock dip can be substituted.
At this time many hens have stop
ped laying on account of old age, lack
of proper food or moultiness. These
birds should either be killed or sold
and especially those over three years
old showing the above symptoms. Prop
err feeding will do as much as any
other one thing to start the flock lay
ing early in the fall Rape may be
planted in September or October to
furnish green feed for chickens
throughout the winter-(W. Fl. Allen.

IN FIVE MINUTES
 NO SICK STOMACH
 INDIGESTION, GAS
"Pape's Diapepsin" Is the Quickest and Surest Stomach
 Relief.

You don't know what upset your stomach-which portion of the food did the damage-do you? We'll don't bother. If your stomach is in re- volt; if sick, gassy and upset, and what you just ate has fermented and turn ed sour; head dizzy and aches, belch gases and acids and eructate undigest- ed food; breath foul, tongue coated just take a little Pape's Diapepsin to neutralize ,acidity and in five min utes you wonder what became of the indigestion and distress.
 Millions of men and women today know that it is needless to have dys- pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasion ally keeps the stomach sweetened, and they eat their favorite foods without fear.
 If your stomach doesn't take care of your liberal limit without rebellion; if your food is a damage instead of a help, remember the quickest, surest, most harmless anti-acid is Pape's Dia- pepsin which costs only fifty cents for large case at drug stores. It's truly wonderful-it stops food souring and sets things straight, so gently and easily that it is really astonishing. Your stomach will digest your meals if you keep acids neuartlized.-Advt.

MONKEY FOR MASCOT.
Third Arkansas Boys Capture One Of
 Simians In Forest Park.

Little Rock, Sept. 27.-When the Third Arkansas regiment goes to France it will take along mascot. that from his actions can be consid- cred an alien enemy. For several years two monkeys were quartered at Forest Park, in the suburbs of Little Rock. The band of this regiment wanted a mascot and sighted the mon. keys. The street car company, which owns the park, was willing to send the captives that far on their return to the wilds of Africa, or probably con sidering the monkeys fit associates for Huns, so the monkeys became a part of the Third Arkansas. Enroute to Fort Logan H. Roots one of the monkeys took a notion that he was a fighting man, and grabbing the near est leg began to sink in his teeth. The monkey is sadder and wiser now, but that does not cure the soldiers sore leg.

 CASTS SLUR AT U. $.

Paris, Sept. 27.-The chamber of deputies in extraordinary session yes terday passed the appropriation for the fourth quarter of the year.
 Interruptions by Pierre Brizon, a Socialist deputy, who was one of the pilgrims to the conference with Ger man Socialists at Kienthal, threw the chamber into tumult. M. Rrizon ask ed if American railroad men are com ing to France in order that French railroad workers may be sent to the front"
 The deputy attacked Great Britain, saying:
 "You are shedding the blood of France instead of that of her allies. " The whole chamber protested and Elm lie Constant cried:
 "We are not fighting for the Amer jeans. It is the Americans who are coming to fight for us.''
 The finance minister, Louis Klotz said:
 "All the allies are fighting for the same cause and every word spoken against them is against France" DepuIy bIlZoN oeCldleu tiioI Ao with Deputies Raffin-Dugens and Al exander Blanc, who went with him to Kienthal would not vote for the ap propriation. M. Brizon shouted:

RROUGH INSPECTS,
 CAMP PIKE ROAD

Little Rock, Sept. 27.-Gov. c. H. Brough, in company with Highway Commissioner w. B. Owen, Hugh Car, ter, engineer of the highway depart ment, and others Wednesday visited Camp Pike for the purpose of inspect ing the road which is being construct. ed to the camp under the supervision of the highway department. This road. five and three tenths miles in length, is the third project to be con- structed under the Shackleford act. The other two are in California.
 The portion inspected Wednesday is the quarter of mile that is being sur faced with Warrenite, an asphaltic composition. Gov. Brough stated after the inspection that he was delighted with this road, and believes it will solve the traffic proposition to Camp Pike. The balance of the road will be treated in the same manner, a quarter of mile at time being closed to traffic while the filler is applied.
 Governor Brough was especially de- lighted with the services that have been rendered by the 100 convicts en- gagged in this work. He has asked the penitentiary commission to per- init the convicts to be worked there until the road is completed. The con- victs are quartered in big tents, equip pied with shower baths and other con. veniences.
 The road to Camp Pike was ma- cadamized some time ago, but the heavy army trucks have ground most of the rock into dust and much new stone has to be rolled in before the Warrenite can be applied. Over 5000 vehicles pass each way every day on this highway, most of them heavy army trucks.

ALL HYPnfNATED SHOULD STAND BY
 RIGHTEOUS CAUSE
Otto H. Kahn, New York Banker, Makes Strong Plea
 For Unity of Action.

Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 26.-Urging Americans of German descent "to join in our country's righteous struggle against people of their own blood, which, under the evil spell of a dread- ful obsession, has made itself the ene- my of this peace-loving nation," Otto H. Kahn, banker, of New York, before the Harrisburg chamber of commerce, today pleaded for support of the war policy of the administration at Wash ington.
 Scoring that Prussianism, which he said, "with profound cunning has in- stilled into Germany the demoniacal obsession of power-worship and world- dominion" MT. Kahn traced the meth ods by which, he said, the Teutonic people have been Systematically pois- oned by the Prussian ruling caste"
 The world fervently longs for peace. But there can be no peace answering to the true meaning of the word, no peace permitting the nations of the earth, great and small, to walk un- armed and unafraid, until the teach ing and the leadership of the apostles of an outlaw creed shall have become discredited and hateful in the sight of the German people.
 "Woe to the German-Anerican, so called, who in this sacred war for a cause as high as any for which ever people took up arms, does not feel a solemn urge, does not show an eager determination to be in the very fore front of the struggle, does not prove a patriotic jealousy, in thought, in ac- tion and in speech, to rival and to out do his native-born fellow-citizen in devotion and in willing sacrifice for the country of his choice and adoption and sworn allegiance and of their com mon affection and pride.
 "He who shirks the full measure of his duty and allegiance in that noblest of causes. be he German-American, or any other hyphenated American, be he I. w. w. or Socialist or whatever the appellation, does not deserve to stand among Americans or indeed among free men anywhere.
 "He who, secretly or overtly, tries to thwart the declared will and aim of the nation in this holy war, is a traitor, and traitors fate should be his."
