The Monitor Comes Back.

British monitors nre playing an i'm
portant part In the Italian advance to-
ward Triest. The monitors have again
proved themselves in this war. They
appear to be the. only type of craft
that can carry big guns into shallow
water and lombard coast Notifications
successfully. Submarines cannot fol-
low them into these shadows, and they
have so little freeboard that they pre-
sent II difficult mark for the enemy to
hit.
Monitors took up the set work at the
Dardanelles after the battleships had
been lost or had been driven by subma-
rines to seek protected ports. MonI-
tors shell the Belgian coast when at
tacks are made on the German bases
there. Now they nre shelling the Aus
trian coast ahead of the Italians. And
so far there has been no report of a
single monitor lost.

An Ounce of
Prevention
observation-disclosures
BY DR.. SAMUEL G. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsyl
vania.

Before the causes of disease were
known or the practical application of
natures ways of producing immunity
to disease, we had to suffer an attack
of sickness and then trust to drugs
and nursing for cure.
This was difficult task and the
death rate was sometimes enormous,
both in times of peace as well us OF
war.
Then the day of prevention came.
Gradually the laws of nature unfolded
until today we know methods OF pre-
venting diseases and .antidotlng the
poisons generated by germs in the
body.
1t was even as late us the Spanish
American war that we lost more sol
dicrs from preventable diseases than
we did from bullets. This was dis
graceful thing. as sanitarians could
have prevented the high death rate.
From what we can learn through the
newspapers and other sources, France
today is short of uisinfectunts In her
trenches. We do not see any great
public excitement over this condition.
or any concerted action OF our good
citizens to give their mites to pur-
chase and transport disinfectants for
the French trenches so as to prevent
disease.
Therapeutics or drug treatment
seems to continue to have II hold on
the lay mind. and possibly. to some
extent. on the medical mind.
Both the people Mt home In every
dny life and the soldiers in our army
are much to blame for the sickness
that exists. The medical profession's
advice Is not taken when these per-
sons are well, but the moment they
get good and sick they call: "Oh. doc
tor, do relieve me from this awful
pain" or "Oh, doctor. save my life!"
Perhaps this call comes too late. A
few words of prevention from the doc
tor to the patient, and those few words
obeyed, might have prevented the sick
ness and saved suffering and sorrow.
Do not let us lose sight, individually
or collectively. Of preventing diseases
both at home and in our military
camps, let them be where they may.

Germ of Red Cross Idea.

The germ of the Red Cross idea
seems to date back into the sixteenth
century, when IA gay young Neapolitan
soldier saw the error of his ways, be-
came priest, and devoting himself to
relieving the piague-stricken. organized
the Fathers of the Good Death"
whose members were pledged to the
same service and who wore on their
breasts red cross in memory of the
sufferings of Christ This was Camil-
lus de Lellis, who fell victim to the
disease he combated. and who. canon
lied by Benedict XIV. In 1746. became
ST. Camillus In the Catholic calendar
of saints.

For this reason, the poultryman should
carry on the work in the henhouse
quietly and evenly.
To destroy mites and keep the flock
free of their depredations, insecticide
sprays and sanitary building are
necessary.
Ducks of most of the meat breeds,
properly fed and managed. frequently
weigh from five to six pounds at ten
weeks of age.
II it is worth keeping poultry Mt all,
1t Is worth making good job of IT.,
and nothing except good job Will
make u profit.
After the grass gets tough chicks
can catch more bugs and worms and
will grow better on loose soil. The
cornfield furnishes ideal conditions.
Be careful that the chicks, poults,
ducklings and goslings do not have
any food and cannot get anything to
eat on the range which Is moldy or
musty, for such stuff causes canker
and digestive troubles.
The Leghorns today are a much bet
ter breed than they were years ago.
The tendency hns been to breed larger
birds and still retain all their charac
teristics as producers of n large num-
ber of eggs With larger bodies also
has come the production of larger
eggs, which is an added merit to the
breed.

"Keep Cheerful and Mind
Your Own Business" Is the
Message of John Burroughs

John Burroughs. famous American
naturalist and writer. and leading dis
cipie of the simple life. is eighty years
old. He has lived with nature since
boyhOod. and knows the birds, the
squirrels and the butterflies, the woods
the fields and the mountain streams
He was the friend of Lincoln. of EN-
erson, of Holmes. of Whittier and of
Walt Whitman. His recollections of
these great friends are sufficient COM
panions for John Burroughs in his
woodland cabin. II am very happy In
my work. and l hope to write book
each year for many more years." he
says. He Is Mt his best. despite his
age. and leads an active life in the
open. His message to the world Is {:
Keep cheerful and mind your own
business"
Mr.. Burroughs taught school in his
youth, became n bank examiner, and
had promising career before him in
financial affairs, when he discarded
ambition for wealth to lead the simple
life. His first book was his Notes on
Walt Whitman" published in 1867.
During the past half-century he hns
written constantly. and hns contrib
uted much TO the nature library. He
married Ursula North in 1857. and in
the winter time he now makes his
home with his daughter and grand
children at West Park, n. Y.

He marches down the street
With u proud and martial eye.
And the people turn about
To watch him pass them by:
And his head is held erect.
In his spirits high command,
For u badge upon his arm.
He wears the khaki band.
He steps out free and firm
With a swinging to his tread,
And an eagerness to serve,
From the courage In him bred
BY the men who went before.

Now he's treading In their steps
For he wears the khaki band.
He's the soldier of the flag.
Ready for its sake to go
Where the call of duty sounds.
Fit to meet and fight the foe;
We are proud. as forth he comes
From the homes all DER the land.

POULTRY POINTERS

Remember, milk is meat when 1t
comes to feeding chicks or hens.
The best eggs for hatching come
from f]ocks that have free range.
Watch for head lice on the ducks.
If found rub top of head with II small
piece OF lard free from suit.
It is good plan to force egg pro-
duction. but nature may be material
iy aided by good feed selection.
The production of ducks especially
should be emphasized Mt this time. be-
cause of the rapidity with which they
grow.
A laying hen is nervous: II she is
frightened or even startled much, there
IL apt to be miscarriage OF eggs

QUEEN MARY MUCH
INTERESTED IN FOOD
SUPPLY OF ENGLAND
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-Queen Mary.
In view of her interest in the question
OF food supply recently summoned
walter Runciman, president of the
board OF trade, to an audience at Buck
ingham palace. 1t is very unsual for
the queen to send for a cabinet min
lister.
The conference was a long one. the
queen being particularly interested in
definite details as to how the proposed
new food regulations would affect the
poor. especially the working women
and women belonging to the so-called
professional classes. From the very
beginning of the war the queen has
SHOWN particular interest in the posi-.
ton of middle-class women, women of
education and breeding, who have
moved for years in one groove, and
who were no longer young enough to
be able to benefit by new openings
when their old occupations or in
comes gradually became insufficient.
The subject of food economy. also.
IS one that has engaged the .heartiest
attention of the queen. "The queen is
herself a remarkably good housekeep-
er. writes one of the newspapers in
commenting on the audience with Mr..
Runciman. land If she belonged to the
middle classes she would be extolled
as wonder among her peers. Years
ago. before war with Germany was
thought of, she used to be quoted as
an example of thrifty management
and sound common sense. In those
days thrifty management and sound
common sense were neither popular
or fashionable. and it was considered
the smart thing to be wasteful and
1rlvolus. and completely ignorant of
what went on in the kitchen and the
storerOom. Even yet, not everybody
has come around to the queens point
of view. although they will in time,
even If they have to be forced into il.
A vast deal of unnecessary spending
still goes on, especially among the
sO-called smart set, which is still
lunching and dining and going to the
theater and buying expensive furs. and
going in for extremes in evening
dress Only an act of parliament will
stop them"

Creel Reprimands Editor Of Washington
For Editorial on Death of Nurses

Department ascertain the real cause
of the premature bursting of shells
and the actual defect in shells like
that which caused the death of two
American Red Cross nurses on the
Mongolia and wounded a third. 1t
says in part:
BLAND confessions from the navy
ordinance experts that certain shells
fabricated prior to 1900 are defective
will not satisfy the American public.
The real facts must be disclosed.
Then the existing gentlemen's
agreement as to censorship Of navy
information which conceivably may
be useful to the enemy will fall like
pack of cards If 1t is falsely used
to cloak negligence or inefficiency Of
the kind indicated by the tragic
death of the two American nurses on
the Mongolia.
The navy had ample warning. On
the first trip Of the st. Louis as an
armed ship to Liverpool target prac-
tice was engaged in by the armed
guard Several shells were almost
decomposed'; one prematurely cx-
ploded in the barrel of the gun, put
ting it out of commission. On the St.
Paul other defective shells were found.

WASHINGTON. May %. - Despite
the fact that there is no legal CEN
sorship of the press, and disregarding
President Wilson's repeated declara-
ton that he has no desire to limit
discussion and criticism Of Govern
ment affairs and policies. George
Creel, Chairman of the Committee OF
Public Information, Wednesday called
the editor of the Washington Herald
on the telephone and reprimanded him
for publishing this morning an edito-
rial under the caption defective
Shells"
The editorial was based on state
ments made in the official report OF
Rear Admiral Ralph Earle, Chief OF
Ordinance of the Navy. to Secretary
Daniels, which was formally made
public yesterday by the latter.
This is the first attempt to rebuke
an editor for discussing facts set forth
in an official report issued by Gov
eminent official.
There is one apparent misstatement
of fact in the editorial-an obvious
oversight The man who wrote it
quoted Admiral Earle as having said
that the shells which exploded pre-
maturely. on the American liners ST.
Louis and ST. Paul were manufactur-
ed more than seven years ago. He
should have said more than seventeen
years ago, mistake Of ten years in
the Governments favOn.
The editorial suggests that the Navy
