$40 Court Fee Is
More Than Expense,
Says Local Lawyer

The state supreme court today heard
arguments ia the suit instituted by L,
G. McAdams, local attorney, attacking
the constitutionaity of the state law
requiring deposit Of $40 for appeal
ing cases to the supreme court,
McAdams contends that the deposit
is far in excess Of the actual costs Of
clerical work in docketlng cases, and
that the excess is a tax on court pro
cess. He asserts that the law was a
revenue measure purely.
The defendant, William NJ Franklin
court clerk, was represented by John

The action is in mandamus against
Franklin to compel him to accept SIS

.FNIS
R0UP REMEDY FOR CHICKENS
Windows Are Down and Every
thing In Proper Shape.

The habit of visiting the poultry
house after the birds have gone to
roost during the winter months Is a
good one. After the water vessels
have been emptied to keep them from
freezing overnight, 1t Is good plan
to see that the curtains or windows
are down and everything is in shape.
If the grain feed for the following
morning Is scattered in the litter the
birds will be busy and active as soon
as they come of the roosts. This Is
far better for them than standing
round an hour or so In the cold morn
ing air waiting for their feed.

OLD-FASHIONED HIGH R0OSTS
sprained Legs, splinters or Gravel In
Feet and Other Troubles Are
Sure to Follow.

Too many poultry keepers yet build
old-fashioned high roosts. The tree
shelter instinct still induces every
fowl to fight for place on the highest
of the roOsts. Few you will notice,
want the dow. For the large heavy
breeds, high roosts mean sprained
legs, splinters or gravel in the feet,
and much suffering because of jump
ing from high roosts.
Turkeys often show up with bum
ble-foot or other kinds of lameness
because they roost SO high. One can
also make the roosts too small.
Chickens are often lamed by giving
them roosts that allow the toes to go
clear around, and sink the claws in
the soft part of the sole. This is sure
to cause sores, or at least tender feet.

Confinement Hurts.

Improper feeding. combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
Of many failures In turkey raising.
Given free range on The average farm,
the poults can easily pick up their own

the purpose of inducing them to come

hen is confined to coop and the
poults allowed to run in and ont, three
times n day Is often enough to feed
and very little should be given at a
time. The poults should always be
ready to eat; II given all they will
clean up several times IA day, indiges-
tion will be the result. IL there is
little or no feed outside the coop for
the poults to pick up, then they should
be fed about five times day, feeding

ALCOHOL AN ExcRETIoN.

The origin of alcohol Is most slgni-
ficant Of It's character.
IL Is an excretlon Of the yeast plant,
thrown out because the plant has no
further use for II and It's retention
would have poisonous effect Just as
the human body is poisoned by an ac-
emulation of waste matter, so the
yeast plant is Injured by its waste
product. When the alcohol has reached
n strength of Ii per cent 1t Is sufli-
ciently poisonous To the yeast plant to
stop all of its activities.
1t Is an odd thing that any excre-
tion Is poisonous TO the living organ
ism which produces II and to all higher
forms of life. THE excrctiOn of n
mammal might serve as food for some
OF the lower vertebrates and certainly
for fungi and bacteria, but inevitably
has toxic action upon any organism
of higher rank" says DR.. Winfield
Scott Hall, of Northwestern Medical
school, and he continues:
"The relation of alcohol to life may
thus be summed: % Ethyl alcohol Is
the excretion Of II fungus; (2) excre-
tons which are toxic (poisonous) to
the organism which excretes them are
also toxic to all higher organisms; (3)
alcohol Is toxic to the yeast plant and
In conformity to laboratory observa-
tons rs well as to the logic of the case
alcohol Is toxic to all animal pro-
toplasm."
And the layman's conclusion would
probably be: "1he yeast plant. in
common with animals, first consumes
food and then decomposes it. Man
drinks the excreted decomposed food
of the yeast plant, called alcohol, and
naturally Is poisoned thereby"
