TOULOUSE is GIANT OF GOOSE Family.

The Toulouse is the giant of the
goose family. 1t is n native of France.
Its ordinary weight is from Is to 20
pounds, but it is not uncommon to
find specimens weighing from % to
30 pounds. This is the typical gray
goose, but beneath and behind these
are white areas in the plumage.
1t Is said by those who have had
experience with this breed that young
geese during the first year lay from
Is to % eggs, when older they may
lay from p to 40.
The Embden is popular breed in
some places. The body of the birds
is snowy white, the legs and bills
yellow. They have good type and con-
formation. In size 1t is the same as
standard for the Toulouse, though 1t
is said smaller number of Embden
reach this standard than of Toulouse.

The movement in this city is under
the direction Of the Woman's Club and

Sunday of sermons in the various pull
pits of the city on some phase of the
work, films in the various picture
shows which would further the inter
ests Of the baby's health besides the
publicity which the local press accords.
However these plans have not beeI'
definitely outlined at this time.
Baby week originated in 1914 in Chi
cago. Later in the same year New
York Joined the campaign followed by
Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and Topeka.

FRESH AIR VERY NECESSARY

Fresh air is very necessary in the
poultry house. Without ventilation the
poultry house is neither dry nor sanl-
tary. Chickens in a damp house are
more liable to colds and roup than in
dry house. One OF the best ways to
ventilate In winter is by having an
opening covered with muslin. An OPEN

 Fierce An-Day Battle.
 A severe battle ensued, lasting throughout Friday.

CARDINAL GASPARRI
 WRITES ABOUT POPE
Says France Cannot Possibly Make Exception to Two Points
 in Papal Note.

III fap0I NOUC.
 Paris Oct. 1-The Eclaire pub- fishes a letter from Cardinal Gasparri, the Papal secretary of state to Bishop De Gibergues of Valencie, concerning the reception accorded the Papal peace note, in which he expresses the satisfaction of Pope Benedict at the sentiments of the Catholic clergy of France. which the letter says: 'Is all the more agreeable to His Holiness since the contrary attitude of the French press in general is inexplic- able. If there are nations specially favored in the Papal not they are France and Belgium The letter, which is dated September 10, remarks that France certainly cannot take ex- ception to the first two points of the Papal note concerning disarmoment and obligatory arbitration, and con- tinues:
 "As to the damages to be replaced and the outlaws for the war. the Holy Father proposes in the third place as a general principle reciprocal remis- sion. He adds, however, that if in any case particular reasons are op- posed to that view. which is verified in the case of Belgium, they can be weighed with justice and equity"
 The letter then refers to the state ment of former Premier Ribot that he is in accord with the provisional gov ernment of Russia admitting that in eventual peace negotiations war in demnities should not be claimed, but reserving from France the right to require reparation for damages caused by ,''the malevolence of military com xl Of war" The letter says in addition:
 "The Pontifical note is couched in general terms and does not exclude reparation for such damages. But, even setting aside the enormous diff1- culties of establishing with precision in all the sectors of the war the dam ages caused needlessly by the fault of military commanders, it is for France to judge. If it is suitable for it, even in the hypothesis of victory, to pro1ong the war, were it only for one year, to require of the enemy repara ton for these damages with due ac- count taken of the losses in money and men and the heaps of ruins in which the war would leave the Bel giap and French territory now occu- pied"',-
 Cardinal Gasparris letter lays stress upon the fact that the Papal note desires that French territory be immediately evacuated. It then says that the Pope does not and could not propose any solution concerning AL sace-Lorraine. It adds that the Pope expresses hope that France and Ger many will examine in a conciliatory spirit. the aspirations of peoples, talk ing into account what is just and pos sible Finally, the letter contends that the Pope's note favors France in diff ferent points and offends it in none.
