LUKE NI'LUKE SAYS

Of course, we may be wrong. But we'll bet that the female member of Congress gets off a street car backward just like an ordinary cook lady.
 Take day off and attend to nobody's business but your own and see how lit- tie you will have to worry about.
 The more man finds out that kicking doesn't help matters any, the more he keeps on kicking.
 Even when a woman knows she can't go, she gets heap of satisfaction out oe getting an invitation.
 It is mighty hard to please the neigh bors. If the baby is raised on the bottle half the women will criticise; and if it isn't raised on the bottle the other half will criticise.
 What has become of the old-fashioned boy who used to run away with circus :?
 A woman has her troubles If she hasn't any children to acquire the croup or the measles, the canary gets the pip, or the poodle gets distemper, the ferns get plant lice.
 A man thinks he has to use club when he tries to boss his wife. But woman never uses anything but her tongue when she bosses her husband.
 You don't have to change clothes sev- eral times day to be gentleman. Even if the basement of his pants is shiny, the lnaa who in word and deed and thought gives olher women the reverence he gives his mother is a gentleman. The world is growing better Fortune telers are finding it harder and harder to make a living.
 Another reason why we have many divorces is because when girl can't get her ideal to propose she accepts any old thing that comes along. i Any defeated candidate can tell you that his district is composed of hopeless idots who have evaded the asylums. 1 It is different if she hasn't any. But if a girl has freckles it isn't hard to con- vinre her that they are beauty spots.

SAITH THE WINDOW SILL.

(In Independence HallA By Tom Daly.
 I was an ashlar newly set.
 Some myriad dawns ago, When first I felt what thrills me vet When townsmen, as today, are met
 In council there below. That earlier day, I mind 1t well,
 With cloudless sunshine came; And from the heights above me fell The brazen clamor of a bell
 That shook this easement frame. # Below were tongues. deep, solemn. shrill.
 Whose chorus rose to me; One read aloud. the crowd was still; cs Then leaned across the granite sill & K The Miracle and She!
 She was as lovely as a day
 When winds are in tho west: Her breath was balmy as the May, And rosy was the babe that lay
 And suckled at her breast. sxf As one to other worlds withdrawn,
 She unused above me there; Ehe voice below read on and on, And in her eyes began to dawn
 A look that gods might wear. She held her child far out on high, ITS, Beyond my granite brink.
 "Oh. hark. my sonI" heard her eirh. For these are words that shall not die, And more than meat and drink!'' Her breast was pressed against my broWf shared her motherhood And To! my heart of stone. VOW, Was thrilled, as 1t is thrilling now, With warmth of patriot blood! Beyond earth's utmost parapet } She passed long. long ago. But her warm bosom thrills me yet When townsmen. as today. arc met In council there below

i plan involved compulsory service and comparatively few congressman were 1 broad-minded enough or courageous enough to commit themselves to a military policy of that kind. Even President Wilson was doubtful as to the advisability of the universal sys- tenn. But the administration came round to it, and men in both houses who had opposed it changed their minds and admitted that the princi- pie was democratic and that the plan in operation would mean first line of defense efficiency.
 The pacifists cried militarism and the spineless members of Congress, being devoid of leadership, followed the line of least resistance.

Food Value of
Meat Discussed

TIT HE London papers devote large
 0 part of their space, as might be expected, to food values and the econ- omy of the family table In recent issue of the Times, Dr. E. J. Spriggs, prominent authority, deals with meat, the food value of which, he says, lies in the fact that it contains much "digestible bodybuilding protein" Though it's cost is high, meat, when properly cooked and chewed, is eco nomical from digestive point of view, for little or none of it is wasted.
 Lean meat, such as beef, is about one-fifth protein, one-tenth fat and the rest water. Dr. Spriggs explains the greater food value of fat meat. An ounce of average mutton gives 86 calories, pound 1876 calories. Fat bacon gives ITO calories in an ounce and 2720 in a pound -four times the food value of lean beef. "But," says Dr. Spriggs, i've need meat most for it's protein. The energy value of the fat can be supplied in other foods. The cheaper kinds of meat contain as much protein as the dearer, and they are, if properly cooked, quite as di- gestible."
 Meat which has been kept for sev- eral weeks in cold storage is as nu- tricious as fresh meat. Dr. Spriggs concludes his interesting and instruc- tive article by stating that ''tinned meat is rather more nutricious, weight for weight, than fresh meat, because some of the water has been driven off in the preparation. For the same req son dried meats, such as smoked bacon, have high food value" < <

PESTS
TOPIC OF TALK
Especial Star. Bulletin oOrrespopasns.,

COLLEGE OF, HAWAII, April 27s--.
Dr.. j. e. IUingwoTthss sacond lecture
OF the week to the members or the
Navy League was on the subject of
Poultry Pests" The first pest con-
sidered was the "sticktight' flea. DR..
Illingworth has given much time and
attention to the study of this insect
which until recently was not thought
to be true flea; but by assuming that
their life cycle was precisely like that
of other fleas it was possible TO make
closer observation. This flea has been
the cause Of dIscouraging more poul-
try raisers than any other pest. 1t
usually attaches itself to the uncov-
cred parts of the fowls head and
sucks blood from the skin. However,
the remedy is extremely simple. The
flea larvae cannot live in any place
but dry spot; the minute they are
touched with water they die If the
chicken yard is constantly watered
and the hen rooSt Is kept clean, the
sticktight flea cannot live. This
treatment applies only to the larvae,
for water will not kill any of the ma.
ture fleas. j
. Dr. Illingworth also dealt at great
length with the habits Of the bird
louise This louise, unlike all animal
lice, has biting mouth parts, and at
taches itself to the pigeon or chickens
feathers. Their control is likewise
very easy.
The Cornell agricultural experiment
station has prepared the Cornell pow
der composed of carbolic acid and
gasoline mixed together with plaster,
of Paris in the proportions Of one
quarter pint, three quarters Of pint
and two ana a half pounds. The whole
should be stirred till a dry powder re-
suits. This powder is then applied to
the feathers of the bird with the fin
gers. The remedy is also effective to
any kind of parasite infesting the
feathers, as the mites and pigeon
fleas, which are also very troublesome
in Hawaii. Mites are particularly
troublesome to setting hens, and when
the hen has been setting any length
of time the powder should be applied
to the nest 1t has been demonstrated
at Cornell that this. powder can be
used with a uniform expense of one
third of cent per fowl for hundred
chickens This also allows for sever
al applications.
