POULTRY POINTERS

In preparing fowls for shipment by
parcel post, the chief object is to keep
the skin from being torn or rubbed.
Dry picking Is recommended.
The floor Of the duckhouse must be
kept dry and should be well Uttered
with clean, dry straw.
Strange as 1t may seem, while ducks
Will thrive If they have access to a
stream CT water or pond, they must
have dry quarters at night.
Growing chicks will grow best when
they can roost where there is clean
perches and only roof over their
heads.
Sulphate Of iron Is a blood tonic,
as well as an effectual remedy against
the small round worms frequently dis
covered In the intestines of the birds.
Any of the larger breeds of ducks
Will yield quite great deal In the
way of feathers in years time. Feath-
ers should not be plucked during the
cold weather.
Ducks are conveniently kept In
focks Of about thirty. A house Is BY
10 feet Is large enough for this mum.
Der.
When fowls become lame first in one
leg and then in both, it is caused by
some liver trouble. Sometimes the
birds at the same time become very
light. There is no cure. Prevent by
not feeding pepper or spices, not too
heavy Of corn.
Cleaning out the houses several
times a week, will not only give a
purer air, but it will greatly help in
killing disease germs.
Access to swimming water Is not at
all necessary in order to successfully
raise Pekin ducks.
Where there is nervous, quick Jerk
Ing OF the legs, making the fowl step
high while walking, 1t Is an affection
similar to stringhalt in horses. While
this cannot be cured 1t does no par.
ticular harm. 1t is nerve trouble.
An excellent substitute for meat
foods is cottage cheese. You may feed
1t to fowls of any age and will find It
very nutritious. Give about three feeds
each week of the cheese.

Japan's Physique Falling.

lnterpellating the Japanese govern
ment about the health of the nation.
Baron kenkwan Takagi, well-known
medico-scientist, speaking In the house
or peers, declared that there was a
gradual enfeeblement in the physique
or the young men which was discour-
aging. He asked whether the govern
eminent was considering any measures
for the Improvement of the health con-
ditions of the emplre2 In reply, Pre-
mier Count Ternuchi said the govern
ment was not satisfied with the pres
ent national hygiene and would adopt
all possible measures to bring about
an Improvement.

Dramatic Surprises.

Strange meetings occur often enough
in war hospitals. Several medical Of
ficers have found their brothers among
their patients. A certain territorial
battalion had two medical officers In
peace time, Of whom the senior went
abroad with the unit. In course Of
time the colonel fell sick, and was
brought down to a base hospital
where he passed directly into the
charge Of his junior medical officer
without any prearrangement whatever.
A patient who had served for several
months in France was lying In
double-bedded room. Suddenly, and
rather to his annoyance, a stable COM
panion was given to him In the middle
of the night, who proved in the morn
ing to be his brother, recently arrived
from Gallipoli.

Frenchman Will Not Retire.

When he has laid by pile" which
the Englishman or American would
consider ample to justify him in taking
house in the suburbs, climbing" in
society and retiring from business, the
Frenchman still clings to business.
Although his everyday expenses are
very probably less, he has as a rule
far heavier drains on his purse. Each
Of his daughters will claim handsome
dowry If she is to be married well, and
these dowries must be paid without i'm
poverishing the business.
This system Of interviewer family
and business arrangements naturally is
associated with the closeness of the
ties Of French families. A man and
wife would as soon think Of deserving
each other as Of deserving their "in-
laws"

so, 000,00O Rabbits Needed
For Felt Hats Made in the
United States Every Year.

Did you know that the felt hat you
are wearing represents the fur of
three or four rabbits?
It's a fact, declares the San Fran
cisco Examiner.
And it's also true that there are
about 100000 felt hats made in the
United States every year.
Figure it out for yourself At the
minimum Of three rabbits per hat,
that number of hats means 10000, 900
rabbits year.
OF that number less than two per
cent are killed in the United States,
according to paper read before the
Society Of Chemical Industry in New
York by G. D. Parks. Most Of the
other SO per cent come from Aus
tralia, where the rabbit, introduced
long ago as pet, has become a ma
tional pest.

No Sanctified Constitutions.

"Some men," wrote Jefferson in his
old age, "look at constitutions with
sanctimonious reverence, and deem
them like the ark Of the covenant-too
sacred to be touched. They ascribe to
the men of the preceding age wisdom
more than human, and suppose what
they did to be beyond amendment.

Brain Workers Need Food
High in Energy Material,
Says Expert on Dietetics

A man engaged in mental work is
generally supposed to need a diet
having about the same energy value
as that Of a man doing very light me-
chanical work, because the consump-
don of energy In mental, work is not
great. But the Medical Record calls
attention to the opinion expressed by
DR.. w. M. Bayliss, professor Of gen.
eral physiology, University college,
London, in book on the physiology of
food.
Doctor Bayliss points out that while
the oxygen actually consumed by the
nerve centers in their work may not
be great 1t has to be supplied at high
pressure. This is proved by the
fact that even a momentary stoppage
Of the blood supply causes immediate
unconsciousness, although the oxy-
gen In the brain has not been
exhausted. From this 1t seems possi-
BILE that although the actual quantity
Of food needed may not be great
"yet this food may require to be pre-
sented at high pressure, and that to
attain the high pressure 1t may be
necessary to take diet Of an energy
equivalent to that Of moderate mus
cular work."
Doctor Bayliss holds that from the
food standpoint no benefit is derived
from alcohol. Also that there Is no
special virtue in butchers meat and
that vegetable foods, If properly
chosen, can supply all that is neces-
sary for complete diet, but at the
same time he considers a diet Of pure

ties Of the several vegetables stuffs,
The proteins Of vegetables are not so
easily digested as are those Of meats,
but In compensation more Of the food

more, the method results in calling

Tax Bill
Washington Dispatch, Aug. II.
Disposition by the Senate today of
many uncontested provisions of the
S2,OO6 100000 war tax bill almost
cleared the way for the sharp fight
over the war profits taxes.
Among the important features dis
posed OF during the day were the
VINE and motor vehicle schedule. The
provisions of the Finance committee
levying between $40,O00,OOO and $780,
OOO,OO0 on owners of motor vehicles
were adopted, as were the increased
| rates on wines, estimated to raise
| $21 100000.
House provisions levying 5 per
cent tax upon gross sales of many
manufacturers and designed to raise
Sl18, 10000 also were formally elm
mated, the new automobile and other
reduced taxes being substituted. The
Senate also accepted the Finance
committees actAon I'M striking out
the House provision for additional
Federal taxation of inheritapces.
An amendment to the automobile
section suggested by Senator Knox
and adopted imposes a sur tax of
$40 for each $500 value on cars cost
ing more than $4,000. AS accepted,
the section provides the following
motor vehicle taxes, payable b. own
ers of those not used exclusively for
business purposes:
Motorcycles $3.50; automobiles,
costing under $500, S. annually; cost
ing between $500 and $3.50, $3.50;
costing between $3.50 and 81 1000, $40,
with SIS additional for each $500 up
to $4,000, and $40 for each $500 above
$4,000.
The tax based upon original list
price, would be reduced bv 10 per
cent for each years use of the ma
chine up to gross allowance Of so
per cent.
Senator Smoot said that the motor
tax would fall on those able to bear
it. Any person using an automobile
with present prices of gasoline and
supplies, he declared, can well afford
the tax.
