Germany Short of Food.

The real food situation in Germany
is the important puzzle Of the war
The United States food administration
has got hold of some figures on the
standard German ration for noncom-
batants, which seem TO indicate that
the Teutons are in desperate straits.
Figured in calories, the food value of
this ration Is only 10000. This is not
sufficient nourishment TO keep a man
of 140 pounds from losing weight
steadily, even If he does nothing but
lie on his back for "a hours day. If
he has work to do, he will eat up his
fat and then his muscular tissue, so
much the faster. If the figures re-
ceived by the food administration are
correct and are not supplemented by
other rations not mentioned, the civil
ian population of Germany must inev-
ltably be weakening fast.-Exchange.

Perhaps you have realized by the
writing that | was waiting for load
OF shells before going out for the
night. You have probably read OF
what has taken place along the
French front during the last few
days. That drive has kept US pretty
busy Even now the guns are going
in continual roar that has not stop
ped for days and with the large
number that are all along the front
line a good many loads have to be
carried up TO keep them going. Yes
terday and today we have seen hun
dreds of prisoners all along the roads
and in detention camps. They are .
very young looking bunch, seemingly
in poor physical condition, dead tired
with everything, and only gloom and
despair on their faces. But the
worse they look the better we feel
All along the line the French are
happy and gay. singing and joking

has rained for days now and you
can't find a dry place anywhere
Horses, wagons, guns, autos arc
thick with mud; roads are bad, traf
fic heavy, and at q time when you
want it just the other way. They
talk about the mud in Flanders, well
] doubt If 1t could be any worse
Everybody is trying to get dry. but
it is almost impossible, My feet have |
not been dry for so long that have |
forgotten what it feels like. You
have no place to dry anything al
night and you just crawl in putting |
all your wet stuff beside your bunk |
to stay as it is or as 1t sometimes |
seems in the morning wetter for the |
night.
AS there is so much going on at the
front and all the cars are needed for |
the traffic the mail is the first TO sui |
fer, But then to see the Bochos !
come in is almost as good as seeing !
a big mail come into camp But
here's hoping good deal of both keep
coming in from now on.

white cotton uniforms to the fire OF
the enemy snipers SO they adopted
natures good old law of protective
coloring and daubed their uniforms
with mud from the banks of one oi
the sluggish streams.
Those that direct the affairs ut the
army in India heard of this os.mou-
fiage and proceeded to make some
interesting experiments What they
discovered evidently pleased them
for eventually uniform of this color
as a standard was adopted for all
troops in active service in East.
Khaki. the name given the color OF
the uniforms, is the Hindu word for
muddy While the Original khaki was
cotton, the soldiers campaigning in
France wear wool of this muddy gray

egg EATING HABIT
Caused by Absence of Some e.
ement From Fowls Feed.
STARTS IN SPRING OR FALL
Not Necessary to XIII Hen or Feed Her
Gentian, Mustard or Other Disa-r
greeabIe Substances--Provide
Roomy Nests.
(py +. B. pHoMpsoN. Poultryman. New

(By II. p. THOMPSON, Poultryman, New
Mexico Agricultural College) .
1t is common belief that the egg
eating habit among hens is caused by
the absence of some element from
the food, ordinarily lime or animal
food. This is, however, not the COM
mon cause, although 1t may be a
cause. The habit usually starts In
the spring during the heavy laying
season or In the fall when the p,illets
are beginning to lay. During these
two seasons there is greater num-
Der of soft-shelled eggs caused by
the shell secreting portions of the owl
duct failing to function in correlation
with the other reproducing organs.
Therefore from either cause the egg
eating habit is developed by bad man
agement or accident. An
Remove the Cause.
To correct this habit 1t is not nee.
essary TO kill the hen or to feed her
eggs filed with gentian, or mustard,
or ammonia. or other disagreeable
substances. ..emove the cause and the
habit will soon be forgotten. If yolk
Of egg is noticed on the beak or breast
feathers Of the hen, or IL there is Il
noticeable drop in egg production, or
II there are signs of broken eggs in
the nests and on the dropping board
1t Is time to be looking after the egg
eating habit. M
Nothing should be left undone TO
break the hels Of this habit imme-
dIately upon discovery. II the hens
are being fed the egg shells from the
house make sure that the shells are
crushed so that their identity is de-
stroyed. Do not discontinue feeding
them. Ms they are an excellent source
of ui'aeral feed. Clean the nests and
SEQ .nat there is sufficient quantity
of cut straw or chaff in them for
nesting. Darken the nests by hang
ing burlap curtains in front of them
or face them so that the entrance
is from the side next to the wall.
Make an inspection OF the droppings

that may have dropped during the
night A3
