Walking ChaIkIine.

The same sensations, minus the al
cohol, experienced by an intoxicated
person who is trying to walk in a
straight line OF on narrow sidewalk
which is only thirty inches wide, can
be had by anyone who takes the
trouble to draw n straight line on the
floor and then look at the line through
pair of opera glasses in a reversed
position, says the Popular Science
Monthly. After the glasses are focused
try to walk on the line. You will find
IT impossible to follow 1t closely. The
line will look like an ink scratch on a
surface miles away, and the closer you
look and try to follow the line the
more vexed your vision becomes, and
as result your feet wander from side
to side, getting farther away from the
line all the time.
Even with the naked eye it is diff
cult to walk the chalk" for any dis
tance without growing dizzy and stag
gering suspiclously.

calling on regularly Is in love with
him, he considers 1t justifiable to walt
until he is good and ready to propose.
1t is a decided shock to such lag
gard to see stranger step In and in
no time win the girl from before his
very eyes. He has only himself to
blame.
There are few little things about
girls that men should remember. One
is that their interest is keenest in n
young man during the stage Of their
earliest acquaintance. After gifl has
summered and wintered a man and
he has not proposed, her interest be-
gins to dwindle. She looks upon him
as friend, and begins to cast sleeps
eyes on other men as possible beaux.
No man should be too sure of girls
love until he has placed q betrothal
ring on her finger. Even then, he
should see that the marriage is not
put Off too long.
A pretty girl once had one of these
laggard lovers Of whom she thought a
great deal. But pop the question he
would not. Her aunt advised her not
to waste time with him. At an after
noon affair, to which she had gone
with girl friends, she met a new ad-
mirer, who escorted her home. They
encountered the old beau. His jeal-
ousy was straightway aroused. The
sight of her with another showed him
how dear she was to him. The ques-
tion faced him as to what life would
be without her If another won her
He called that evening and lost no
time in asking her to be his wife, de-
claring that an open confession was
good for the soul. He had been too
sure OF her and because of that came
near losing her.
The wise girl does not devote all OF
her time to one caller. She treats him
as she finds him-simply as a friend
until he has given her reason to be as
sured otherwise. There would be nc
long-drawn-out courtships which enc

Paying Doctor to Keep. One
Well Not a Fantastic Idea

We haven't yet learned to take adj
vantage of the resources of civiliza-
ton in anything like the extent we
might. For instance, we wait until
we get sick and then we pay the doc
tor to help us get well. 1t would be
much more sensible to pay him to help
us keep from getting sick.
Fantastic idea, you say. Not at all.
1t already is working in a large num-
ber of college communities. Right here
at home, in the state universities of
Missouri and Kansas, for instance,
says the Kansas City Star. In both
institutions the pupil is charged a fee
which is applied to safeguarding his
health. In the University of Missouri
the plan Is still further developed so
that the fee covers medical and sur
gical attendance.
The important point is that these
universities and other schools are
proving that health can be made much
more of q community matter than had
been supposed and that the wise thing
to do is for groups to pay medical men
to keep them well.

Common Sense Exercises.

Do simple setting up exercises, es-
pecially rotary abdominal exercises
for five or ten minutes every morning,
advises Cleveland Moffet in McClure's
Magazine. Form the habit of doing
abdominal exercises or muscles tens
ing and flexing exercises at odd times
through the day. You can do these
anywhere without attracting atten-
tion.
Walk three or four miles day and
form the habit of breathing deeply
and rhythmically through the nose as
you walk-so many strides (usually
five or six) to the outgoing breath,
then the same number of strides to
the incoming breath. Do this rhyth-
mical breathing occasionally as you
feel Ike it, and avoid making this or
any other part Of your plan irksome
Or monotonous. Do these things be-
cause you wish to do them. Do not
force yourself to do them against
your will. Train your swill to be a
consenting, an approving, a controll-
ing power behind your actions.

SCIENCE IN RAISING POULTRY
important Problem Is to Ascertain
How Many Eggs Each Hen Lays
Hens Make Best Mothers.

The time has come when more at
.ention must be given to high produc-
lion in the farm flock. 1t Is not enough
that the poultry fanciers breed up
their layers and attempt to increase
the strain. Farmers should breed up
their own flocks.
We should know what the hens pro-
duce and let their stay on the farm
depend upon what they pay. This is
the only business way to look at poul-
try raising.
Trap nesting is the fancier's way. 1t
is good way, but other ways may be
DEVISED to keep records of the hens.
The important problem is to find out
how many eggs each hen lays and
when she lays them.
Summer layers are not near as I'M
portant as early spring and winter
layers, for winter eggs always bring
better prices, so do early spring eggs.
It follows from this that hen that
lays in winter, though she produces
fewer eggs, may be more profitable
than a summer layer.
But authorities tell us not to keep
hens till they are very old. They say
the second season is generally the best
for laying hen. But there is need of
more records on this subject. Anyway,
hens make better mothers when old
than when pullets.
Mexico Missouri message., 1917-01-18
Poultry Pointers

A hen, like a human being, needs to
be made comfortable in order to do
the best work.
As soon as the breeding season is
over the male birds should be sepa-
rated from the hens.
The business Of our domestic hen is
to produce plenty of eggs, and we must
feed her for them.
Ducks and geese require deep drink
ing vessels, especially If reared and
kept on land.
Spoiled or decaying flesh, If eaten,
will surely cause limberneck. Burn or
bury the dead.~
A little beef scraps or cut, fresh
bone viii help the pullets and the we'll
molted hens to start laying.
Feeding fowls on one grain, or not
feeding them enough, is very expensive,
because 1t produces q loss instead of a
profit.
Remember that an egg is more than
half water and that the fowls must
have plenty of clean, fresh water to
drink at all times.
If the most of the grain fed TO the
fowls is corn 1t must be balanced by
giving them plenty Of wheat bran and
beef scraps or cut fresh bone. ~
When the hens cannot obtain green
stun In the fields, 1t must be supplied
to them in the form of cabbage, man
gels or something of that kind.

MILK AS 4 "BRACER"
BY DAVID STONE KELSEY.

The Pasteur institute of Paris makes
the declaration that one of the most
powerful stlmulants known is milk. 1t
has been in use for months now as
the one stlmulant for the French sol
diers in the trenches, and it's effect on
them has amply justified the state
ment made by the famous institute In
regard to it.
Milk has been used literally to slim
ulate the French soldiers before they
go into battle and its effects have
been such that the French government
has urged the sale of milk in prefer
ence to other soft drinks behind the
trenches when the soldiers go off duty
for their spells of rest and recreation.
That the qualities of stimulation
should be demonstrated on the fight
ing men should commend the beverage
to those engaged in the pursuits of
peace in those parts of the world
where Mars does not now rule. While
alcohol may fire the brain and dull
the sensibilities and thus impart a
false courage, milk, according to the
| lehrneu SClenLlSIS OIL lHe IuSlSuI III
stitute, performs the work of keying
up the individual without affecting the
keenness of his senses or the coolness
of his judgment. High courage and
a clear perception of what they are
doing is necessary for the best work
in all the arts and professions, as well
as in the handicrafts and in trade.
This fluid hitherto has been consid-
cred synonymous with all that is mild
and peaceful. Advocates of prepared
ness have referred to these milk-and-
water pacifists." The milk of human
kindness" has no suggestion of power
full stimulation.
But science has discovered, among
its many wonders, that the patient
COW has put a punch in milk that me-
cessitates the addition of no product
of the still to make itself felt on the
human system. 1t has discovered a
new and harmless "bracer."
