needed in Alabama, cotton Is growing
satisfactorily and fruiting we'll.

part of the State.

DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT
SLIPPING BACKWARDS

tBy Associated Press.]
COPENHAGEN, August 8.-The demo-
cratic movement In Germany. which
reformers were sure was getting such
a splendid start in the recent Reich
stag crisis now seems to be slipping
backwards. Tho Liberal and Radical
newspapers in Germany generally in
terpret the selection by DIR. Michaelis.
the Chancellor. Of his colleagues as a
distinct rejection OF the principle Of
parliamentarisn or parliamentary in
fuence upon administration
The Socialist organ, Vorwaerts. an
nounces that the Cabinet members.
SPAIN. Krause and Mueller. enter the
government as individuals. not as party
representatives. Therefore the party
assumes no responsibility therefor. but
retains completely a free hand toward
the government. Herr Mueller parti-
cularly has long had no active connec-
ton with the Socialist party, and has
a purely administrative nonpolitical
post.
The Vorwaerts declares that the pres
ent government must be the last OF it's
kind and must be supplanted by a gov
eminent Of the people. DIR. Michaelis is
also getting further away from the
Reichstag peace resolution even as he
interprets IT as the days pass. The
phrase in his speech Saturday on the
necessity OF "a powerful peace" was
printed in black ace type.
Reports to the Associated Press from
Germany say hat DR.. Michaelis now
has been hailed by the advocates OF
greater Germany as a new Bismarck.

PREVENT LOSSES IN
THE POULTRY YARDS


"Feed or Fight" is a slogan which
should be used by every American
citizen at the present time.
i We believe everyone realizes the
Importance of producing as much food
as possible, but it is one thing tc
know what to do, yet another to know
how to do it.
We believe it is the duty and desire
Of every poultryman to produce q
maximum supply Of poultry and poul-
try products, and in order TO do this,
it is necessary to watch all details and
prevent all the loss possible. There
fore, we Il. some Of the more
frequent losses which can and should
be avoided.
/. Feeding males after the breeding
season.
2. Crowding by keeping old and I'M
profitable hens.
8. An insufficient water supply.
A. A lack of lime for shell making.
5. Time lost by broody hens.
6. Eggs spoiled by broody hens.
z. Marketing poultry without fat
tening.
s. Selling chicks too small.
8. Eggs cracked in nests without
straw in bottom.
10. Chicks drowning in water vessels.
II. Lack of shade in summer.
IL. Irregular feeding.
10. Keeping eggs in warm place.
IA. Feeding lice, mites, etc.
To- Loss from rats.
The poultry products from Missou-
ri last year amounted to almost $780,
100000, and it is estimated that if
the cause for loss mentioned above
can be reduced one half, it will in
crease the poultry products at least
$4,000, 100000. By guarding care
fully against any loss by either of
these causes, we will increase our own
profits and help supply food for hui
manity.

MILK AND DAIRY PRO-
DUCTS CHEAPEST FOODS

do not buy meat until you have
bought three quarts of milk a day."
is teh advice of one of the foremost
American authorities on nutrition
This applies to a family of two adults
and three children.
The advice is good, according to L.
S. Palmer of the Missouri College of
Agriculture, because milk at 8 cents
quart, butter at 40 cents a pound
cheese at 30 cents a pound, and cot
tage cheese at Is cents a pound are
still by far the cheapest human food
from animal sources.
The ration per individual for the
civilian need not exceed $500 calorics
of energy and 2.5 ounces of protein a
day, according to the British Food
Controller in a statement published
February /, 1917. Three and one
half quarts of milk, or one pound
three and one-half ounces of cheese,
costing 80 IL and SO 1-2 cents, re-
spectively, will furnish this amount of
energy, whereas it would be necessary
to buy nearly two pounds of the
cheapest cut of fresh pork, containing
considerable fat, at cost of as to so
cents, to obtain $500, calorics of en-
ergy.
AS an economical source of protein
it is interesting to find that 10 cents
worth of cottage cheese, 16 IL cents
worth Of cheddar cheese, and 10 cents
worth of milk, at the foregoing prices
per pound will furnish 2.5 ounces of
protein. The cheapest meat protein
one can buy is lean veal steak and it
is necessary to buy rs cents worth to
obtain 2.5 ounces of protein. Eggs
at 35 cents a dozen are practically
on par with lean veal. Nine eggs
are required to furnish 2.5 ounces of
protein.
In addition to their economy dairy
products have the following points in
their favor: % There is no waste
connected with their use in the house
hold; (2) they contain valuable salts;
(3) they contain other invaluable
food substances which many other
foods contain either in much smaller
quantities or not at all.

THE KID HAS JOINED THE COL
ORS.

The kid has gone to the colors
And we don't know what to say;
The kid we loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the flag today.
We thought him a child, baby,
With never care at all,
But his country called him man-size
And the kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting
Where, fired by fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered "come!"
The kid, not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud of the boy.
The kid has gone to the Colors;
It seems but a little while
Since he drilled schoolboy army
In truly martial style.
But now he is man, soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart ell loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him. shuddered
His motherhood bless her-cried;
Yet, blessed with mother nature
She wept with a mothers pride.
But he whose old shoulders straight
ened
Was Grandchildren memory ran
To years when he, too, youngster,
Was changed by the Flag.

A Symbol of Health,

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temper
ance and purity. As a badge they
used the five-pointed star which they
regarded as a symbol of health. A
red five-pointed star appears on each
package of Chamberlain's Tablets,
and still fulflls it's ancient mission
as a symbol of health. If you are
troubled with indigestion, biliousness
or constipation, get package Of these
tablets from your druggist. You will
be surprised at the quick relief which
they afford. Obtainable everywhere.
