.MEDICAtMEN
!. TALK ON. WAR
PREPAREDNESS
AT FLORENCE /: |. A

At the regular meeting of the Ere
mont County Medical society at Flor
ence lass Monday night the ques-
ton of organizing its members for
medical preparedness in anticipation
of war with Germany was discussed
at length and plans formulated for
calling meeting early in April to
determine what steps shall be taken
in the matter.
The matter was brot up for
consideration in response TO letter
from w. w Grant of Denver. chair
man of the Colorado state committee,
representing the council of national
defense. organized at the request of
President Wilson to effecta medical
preparedness for military purposes.
ed by the national committee, of
which William J Mayo of Rochester,
Mimi. is chairman, TO select from
each county in Colorado having pop
uiation of 10000 or more people n
subcommittee of five members TO
work for the common good in the
national defense.
The matter of securing the maxi
mum number of members of the so
ciety under 55 years of age 10 join
the medical reserve corps of the army
was discussed at the Florence meet
ing and most of those available for
such duty indicated their intention
of volunteering their services in the
event of war The medical reserve
corps was organized in 1910 and COM
missions are issued to its members by
the president on the recommendation
of the surgeon-general of the army
with the rank OF lieutenant. They
can only be called out in case of war
and when on active duty the pay of
such officers is $4,000 a year. Promo
ton is the same as applies to the reg
uiar army medical officers.
A committee known as the auxil-
liary medical defense committee of
Fremont county has been appointed
by the state organization on national
defense and is composed of Drs. r.
e. Holmes. Hart Goodloe, and w. T.
Little of Canon City and Drs. n C.
Atkinson and v. A. Hutton of Flor
ence.
1t will be the purpose of most Of
the members OF the Fremont County
Medical society under SIS years of age
to volunteer for professional work in
the army in the event of war. The
meeting to be held next month will
determine how many of them will go
TO the front and what disposition will
be made with their professional prac-
tice while away from home.
The physicians beyond the age
specified in the regulations of the
medical reserve corps will look after,
as far spossibte. the professional
practice of the younger men called
TO the cofors. rst

AUTO TRAILERS

Auto trailers have come to stay.
They take the place of a horse and
wagon. They neither eat nor wear
out and seeing the great necessity for
them F. p. Smith has taken the
agency for the Hercules trailer, also
the Hercules ready to put on Ford
truck bodies. He will carry these in
stock at all times and will be pleased
to demonstrate and show these goods.
Prices very low and quality Of the
goods the very best. Trailer has solid
rubber tires, very heavy springs. Tim
kin roller bearing axles. hickory hubs
and spokes. Can hitch them TO your
car in two minutes. Will carry 1000
pounds. They are just what you need
to save your auto from rough usage
and yet haul good loads to town.

1t is not only possible but desirable
to pick out the high-producng hens In
the flock by means OF external char
acteristics-
Hens that molt late are high pro
ducers. because they have n longer
period in which TO lay. Late moltins
is the accompaniment Of late laying
but the mere fact of late molting does
not make high producers. The hens
that molt late begin laying Ms early
as the carly molters. becnuse they
mOIt much more rnpidly and lose less
time.
In the yellow-skinned breeds the
pnIeness Of shank Is very reliable In
dlcation in the fall at the end Of the
first year. The high producers lay the
color out Of their shnnks, and so any
bird that still has yellow shanks after
year Of laying likely hns been d poor
producer for that year.
Those birds with soft and pliable
combs about October I are In general
better producers than those with hard
and dried-up combs. As bird molts
the comb tends to shrink and become
hard. but birds in good condition and
laying have plinble combs.

Infertile eggs are wanted then. st

There are several reasons why In
