SENATE'S CLOTURE. -
RULE MAY RESULT , =.
in EXTRA SESSION
Many Look for President to
Make Decision Today
or Tomorrow.

Washington, March 9.-Secretary
Lansing and Attorney General Greg
ory have given President Wilson their
opinion that he has legal authority
to arm merchant ships for protection
against submarines without awaiting
congressional sanction, and the pres
ident's decision as to what he will
do was expected today or tomorrow.
The senate's modification Of its
rules to guard against another filibus-
ter on the armed neutrality bill led
some officials to believe the prcsi-
dent would now call special sessio--
of congress soon to pass OH the neu-
trality measure. In view Of the long
time which probably would be re-
new house, however. and the presi-
dents known desire for early action
to get American shipping moving
again. 1t was intinated in certain ad-
ministration quarters the president
would direct the arming Of ships by
executive order.
Early today it seemed probable
ing would be cancelled because the
president was suffering from cold.
Clark Makes Inquiry.
Speaker Clark called at the White
House today and asked for informa-
ton about the probable date of an
extra session of congress He was told
he would be notified as promptly as
possible.
Fortified with the opinion of Attor-
ney General Gregory and Secretary
Lansing that he has the authority to
arm American merchant vessels with
out action by congress, the president
is understood to be considering TAX
ing the step Immediately. At the same
time it was generally anticipated that
date for the extra session which
now seems certain, would be set in
the immediate future. t-
Some members of congress want at
least two weeks between the time of
calling the extra session and the time
for it to convene. 1t was thought pos
,sible that the. president might go
ahead and arm the ships and call an
extra session Of congress- to- meet. lat

Of boiled water; add a cupful of sugar
and the juice Of half a lemon to the
gelatin while it is hot, and then add
the stiffly beaten whites Of two eggs
as it begins to stiffen. Arrange al
ternate layers of firm, ripe berries and
the gelatin in layers, serve in a large
or in individual dishes. Plain sweet
cream may be served with this, but
1t is not necessary. Strawberries with
French dressing on lettuce make a most
tasty salad to serve at luncheon.
Florida Favorite.-Make a lemon

mold with thin strips of sponge cake
and pour owe a layer of the gelatin
and allow it to stifren. The remain
der of the gelatin is kept in a warm
place. Fill the mold with ripe ber-
ries and pour over the remainder Of
the gelatin. When cold and firm the
loaf is turned from the mold and
served plain or with a few whole ripe
berries.
Marble Mousse.-Whip a pint of
cream sweetened and flavor to taste.
Before putting it into the mold melt
two tablespoonfuls Of cocoa or choco-
late with the same amount Of sugar.
Put q few tablespoonfuls Of the
whipped cream into the bottom of the
mold, then add a little dab of choco-
late, alternating with the plain cream
until all is used. Pack and freeze as
usual. When the mousse is cut it will
have the marble effect. Strawberry
jam may be used equally as well for
those who prefer those flavors.
If you have never tried waf1es for
breakfast with fresh strawberries
mashed to a paste with sugar served
with them, there is a gustatory delight
yet awaiting you.
Strawberries mashed with powdered
sugar and used with whipped cream
as a cake filling is hard to find an
equal in deliciousness.

HOUSE CLEANING IN

Every housekeeper, who deserves
the name, has u general houseclean-
ing at least twice a year. The car
pets come up and the curtains down,
and everything from the roof to the
floor in the furnace room is either
busted, scrubbed, vanished or paint
ed. With the farmers wife, spring
and fall housekeeping is looked upon
as q duty that is almost sacred and
is kept inviolate.
But who ever heard Of a farmer
having even an annual barn clean
ing? True the manure is hauled out,
usually in the springtime, in order to
make it possible to get the horses in
and out the door, but that is all.
If farmers would make it a regular
Job to clean the premises once or
twice every year, infectious diseases
among farm animals could be con.
trolled, and the mortality Of 6 to 10
per cent from calf scours, hog cholera,
blackleg, contagious abortion and
other diseases might be reduced to the
minimum.

few persons are engaged in raising
a thousand or more turkeys a season.
The establishments are located where
the range is unlimited and the natural
food Of the turkey, such as grasshop.
pers and other insects, green vegeta-

and grasses, is abundant. Advantage
also Is taken on these ranches of the
turkeys relish for acorns, and where
these are plentiful but little grain need
be used for fattening in the fall.
The large f1ocks Of turkeys are man.
aged much like herds. of sheep, being
taken out to the range early in the

at night. They are herded during the
day by men either on foot or on horse

A milkroom is needed at all times.
but is particularly important in warm

The milkroom affords good facilities

BOTHER WITH EARLY CHICKS
Leg Weakness and Bowel Troubles
Are Most Common Complaints
Two Ordinary Causes.

Many have had trouble with their
early chicks. Leg weakness and bowel
trouble are the most common COM
plants. The general causes for these
troubles are overlooking and too close
confinement and the two usually go
together. That which would be re-
garded as overlooking in small runs
would not be overlooking where
the chicks were out on the ground
and permitted to run at will. Chicks
confined to basement or in build
lngs continually, should have moist
earth to scratch in and even
then, should not be long confined to
such runs
The cold will not hurt them If. they
can return to the warm hover at will,
and they will very soon learn where to
find it.
