illusions, on a considerably reluctant

Suitor Not Offended When
Door Is Shut in His Face
*Luke 21:1.

1.-THE emotion love is almost I'M
known amongst the people, and mar
riage is more commercial bargain
than an affair of the heart. Elk
cept in few cases, affection does not
enter into the question of matrimony
ct ALL" So writes Nurse Hedderman
in a book dealing with her relief work
in the south isle of Arau, off the coast
of Ireland.
The prospective sutton does not seem
to enjoy popping the question to his
future wife, and the method he adopts
is nothing if not Il thorough business
like undertaking. According to Nurse
Hedderman, he starts forth in the
small hours of the morning, usually
during the Christmas holidays, accom-
panied by one or two friends. He
knocks at the door of some suitable
father-in-law, and if his suit is con-
sidered he is permitted to enter. All
the family join in greeting him, and
the bond is sealed without further
ado.
Should it happen, however, that he
is rejected, an order is issued from
within to quit the premises. This re-
pulse does not unnerve him; nor does
he resent the dismissal at the time,
but plucks up more courage, reappear-
ing at another door to demand bride
on somewhat similar terms.

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER
Care of Hen House.

A clean, we'll ventilated hen house
is an essential in profitable poultry
keeping, according to n. L. Harris,
superintendent of the poultry plant at
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
No element is more neglected than
proper care of the hen house, believes
Mr.. Harris. One essential in keeping
the house in sanitary condition is
that it should be perfectly dry. A
damp, poorly ventilated building is
one of the most potent causes of weak
ened constitutions in fowls, and a re-
Sulting diseased condition.
The house should be disinfected
thoroughly in warm weather at least
every ten days. The disinfectant may
be any of the commercial stock dips
mixed with water to strength of 3
per cent, or solution of water, crude
carbOlic acid and kerosene.
A weakened condition, due to poorly
cleaned houses, does not Immediately
effect the income. The results often
are not noticed until the melting period
when the fowls are more debilitated
than at any other season.
1t is a well-knOwn fact that COM
fort among poultry is the keynote to
success. Birds confined in houses in
tested with vermin as a result of I'M
sanitary conditions are not comfort
able and will not return profit for work
or investment. The house should be
so constructed as to allow circula-
ton of fresh air, and where possible
a liberal supply of sunshine. Sunshine
should penetrate to all rOOSting quar-
tiers of the hen house since sunshine
is uneGualled as a germicide. 1t is not
advisable to have the front of the
house so open as to allow the wind to
blow directly on the fowls, but they
breathe much more rapidly than many
other animals hence require large
quantities of oxygen.
This applies alike to growing chicks
and mature fowls. They are often
confined in small, poorly ventilated
coopS from which they eme~ge in the
morning in semi-stCpid state due to
lack of oxygen during the night.
IN all matters pertaining to the care
of the poultry house, attention should
be given to the comfort of the fowls
since this is one essential to success

ALI Fats Should Be Saved.
To Reduce Shortage Which
World Faces, Says Expert

The United States IS confronted Dy
shortage of sugar and fats. Inc
world has been facing shortage OF
fats for two or three years. FATS ana
sugar are necessary human foods ana
since they serve practically the same
nurnose an increase Of the supply OF
Fats will serve TO relieve the sugar
shortage. The supply can be increased
in two ways. by production and by con-
earvation. Conservation offers imme-
date relief and is the quickest way o.
increasing the supply.
large amount of fat Is wasted In
the average home because members OF
tbe family, especially the youngsters
do not like fat meat. A large percent,
therefore. of the fat served in the
American home finds its way to the
garbage can. Where hogs or poultry
are kept this is not entirely wasted,
but these animals can obtain this en-
ergy-producing food from other sources
which offer a cheaper supply.
p. f. Trowbridge of the University
of Missouri college of agriculture, Of
fprS the IOllOWluS SuSSNStAOho A"A 49,
serving this important food: "All
clean fats should be saved and rem
dered for edible fats Gard substi-
tutes). Beef and mutton fats are hard
and do not work in the kitchen as
readily as the softer fats. Mix these
fats with lard or refined cottonseed oil
and a very satisfactory cooking fat is
obtained If mutton fat be rendered
with milk (sour milk is even better
than sweet the Objectionable flavor
will be almost entirely eliminated.
Poultry fat should never be thrown
away but rendered for use in cooking.
All grease and nOn-edible fat obtained
in the home at all seasons and espe-
cially at butchering time should be
rendered and saved for soap making.
''rThe government needs the fats,
said Doctor Trowbridge. I'VE need
them ourselves. The starving people
of Europe need them. A waste of any
kind of food at this time is unpatri-
otic."

What Doing Your Bit Means
BY CHARLES Fl. MOORE

From the ships, from the trenches,
from the factories, from the farms, the
voice of victory answers you, the VIC
| tory of personal unselfishness over am
bilious self.
Oh you, who could help If you
would help, but who hesitate for self
Throw aside your convenience, your
pride, your personal ambitions and
do what you can do and commence
doing right now.
You men, you women, you children,
who claim to revere our national ban
ner of stars and stripes-it's Amer
lea first and not self that you must
feel and live and battle for.
And you men of business. VIII tax
| lodging and seeking war profits" be
the spirit with which YOU advance to
do YOUR bit?
And you housewives. How many
hungry families of these heroes at the
front would the wasted scraps from
your larders of plenty feed? Are
YOU doing YOUR bit?
And you workers the whole land
over? Would you willingly exchange
your labor, your pay and your hours
for those of a soldier in the trenches
that you may steadfasty say you are
, doing your bit?
And you, people of wealth. Would
you know what your bit is? Wheth-
er you frequent the churches or not,
read your answer in the story of the
"Widow's Mite and realize what share
you must give if you would do your
bit.
How much of the love for humanity
| is there in your soul?
Seek it out and put it to work
unselfishly, for it is there and not
! elsewhere you will find your answer to
what doing your bit" means.
