SPROUTING OATS.
Economical Method of Supplying Green
Food For Poultry.


2. G. IngersolI, Connecticut poultry
man, employs a method Of oat sprOut-
ing which he finds both practical and
economical, writes a correspondent of
the Farm and Fireside. He uses dis
carded lard tubs bought of grOcers for
nickel apiece or less. These tubs are
large, holding about fifty pounds. He
cleans a tub thoroughly and then bores
a hole through the side as near the bot
tom as possible, which he fits with a
wooden plug. Several tubs prepared
in this way and burlap bags make the
complete equipment.
He fills a tub, the plug being in, with
oats Of the proper quality and covers
them with water from which the chill
has been removed. After the oats have
remained thus for four or five hours

In the growth Of n new shlpbulldlpg In

30 vessels now In course OF construction
In the South Atlantic and gulf states,

An Ounce of
Prevention
BY Or. SAMUEL @. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsyl.
vanla.


Before the causes OF disease were
known or the practical application OF
natures ways Of producing immunity
TO disease, We had to suffer m attack
OF sickness and then trust TO drugs
and nursing for cure.
This was a difficult task and the
death rate was sometimes enormous,
both In times Of peace as well as OF
war.
Then the day of prevention came.
Gradually the laws OF nature unfolded
until today we know methods OF pre-
venting diseases and antldoting the
polsons generated by germs In the
body.
II was even as late MS the Spanish
American war that we lost more SOL
dlers from ~preventnble diseases than
we did from bullets. This was n dis
graceful thing, as snnitarlans could
have prevented the high death rate.
From what we can learn through the
newspapers and other sources, France
today IL short Of dlsinfectRnts In her
trenches. We do not see any great
HhhiAN tANlNeliltHN bNtA III NohbihANht
or any concerted action OF our good
citizens to give their mites to pur-
chase and transport dlslnfectnnts for
the French trenches so as to prevent
disease.
Therapeutics or drug treatment
seems to continue 10 have n hold on
the lay mind, and possibly, to some
extent, on the medical mind.
Both the people at home In every
dry life and the soldiers In our army
are much TO blame for the sickness
that exists. The medical professions
advice Is not taken when these per
SOM are well, but the moment thOy
get good and sick they call "oh, doc
tor, do relieve me from this awful
pain" or ooh, doctor, save my life u
Perhaps this cnll comes too late. A
few words Of prevention from the doe
tor to the patient, and those few words
obeyed, might have prevented the sick
ness and saved suffering and sorrow.
DO not let us lose sight, individually
or collectively, Of preventing diseases
both at home and In our military
camps, let them be where they may.

Keep Cheerful and Mind
Your Own Business" Is the
Message OF John Burroughs

John Burroughs, famous American
naturalist and writer, and leading dis.
clple OF the simple life, Is eighty years
old. He has lived with nature since
boyhood, and knows the birds, the
squirrels and the butterflies, the woods,
the fields and the mountain streams.
He wns the friend OF Lincoln, of En-
erson, Of Holmes, Of whittier and OF
Walt Whitman. His r%ecollectlons OF
these great friends are sufficient com
panlons for John Burroughs in his
woodland cabin. ~ am very happy In
my work, and | hope TO write n book
ench year for many more years." he
says. He II at his best, despite his
nge, and leads nm active life in the
open. His message to the world Is :
Keep cheerful and mind your own
business"
Mr.. Burroughs taught school In his
youth, became a bank examiner, and
had n promising career before him In
financial AFFAIRS, when he discarded
ambition for wealth to lend the simple
life. His first book was his "Notes on
Walt Whitman" published In 1907.
During the past half-century he has
written constantly, and has contrib
uted much to the nature library. He
married Ursula North In 1887, and In
the winter time he now makes his
home with his daughter and grand
children nj West Park, N. Y.

The Monitor Comes Back.

British monitors are playing an i'm
portant part In the italian advance to-
ward Trlest. The monitors have again
proved themselves In this war. They
appear to be the only type Of craft
that can carry big guns into shallow
water and lombard coast Notifications
successfully. Submarines cannot fol-
low them into these shadows, and they
have 80 little f%reeboard that they pre-
sent n difficult mark for the enemy to
hit.
Monitors took up the set work at the
Dardanelles after the battleships had
been lost or had been driven by subma-
rines to seek protected ports. Mont
tors shell the Belgian coast when Mt
tacks are made ON the German bases
there. Now they are Smelling the Aus
trian coast ahead OF the Italians. And
so far there has been no report OF q
single monitor lost.

Germ Of Bed Cross ldea.

The germ OF the Red Cross idea
seems to date back into the sixteenth
century, when a gay young Neapolltan
soldier saw the error Of his ways, be-
came Il priest, and devotlng himself to
relieving the plague-strlcken organized
the 'Fnthers Of the Good Death"
whose members were pledged to the
same service and who wore on their
breasts n red cross in memory Of the
sunerings OF Christ. This was Camll-
lus dc Lellis, who fell a victim TO the
disease he combated, and who, canon
lied by Benedict XIV, in 1740. became
st, Camillus In the Catholic calendar
OF saints.

PRAYERS FOR ONE WEEK
FOR NATIONAL LEADERS
Protestant Episcopal Church in This
Diocese to Conduct Services
Because of Present Crisis.

The Protestant Episcopal Church in
the diocese of Washington is to pray
especially for the nation for one week,
beginning Sunday. according to an
nouncement made today by the Bishop
of Washington. Each day of this
period special prayers are to be offered
in the churches of the denomination
asking that the national leaders be
given great wisdom in dealing with the
momentous situations which are daily
arising before them.
The meetings. it was pointed out to-
day. are in line with those held in
England under the title "The Pilgrim
age of Prayer" in which a band of
women travelled from city to city
dressed in a costume like that of dea-
conesses. and held services of prayer.
In this country it has been thought
unwise to inaugurate any such idea as
that held in England. but instead a
week of prayer to be held in each sec
tion of the country at different times,
so that the movement will go through
out the country during the early win
ter and spring
The Bishop of Washington will con-
duct a service Thursday, March 8, in
st. Johns Church, Lafayette square.
