Charcoal Is not food and may not
he u panacea for all poultry ills. but
1t is a valuable aid TO digestion and n
corrective of digestive troubles, says n
correspondent Of the Farm and Fire
side. 1t Is good for poultry OF any
age. 1t may be mixed with the mash,
wet or dry, or fed in hoppers So that
the birds may help themselves. II
is especially valuable IN fattcnlng or
forced feeding. Experiments with fat
tening fowls and turkeys have shown
that those having charcoal made much
greater gains than those not receiving

charred for poultry. but this Is inex-
Dedient except on IA small scale.

CapOnizing the cockcrels that are not
intended for breeding purposes will not

more desirable poultry meat on the
market. Another practice that should
be adopted more widely is that OF fat

The term pleasure car is a misno- mer when applied to a passenger car tying automobile,' says George A. Kis- sel, president of the Kissel Motor Car company. This is proved by the many practical purposes and serious uses the average owner puts to his car
 Nowadays it is uncommon to hear a car purchaser use the term pleasure car" He generally says, T want to look at a car for the family as well as for my personal use" or T am in the market for a passenger car that will seat five people including my children Behind such statements is generally found a serious purpose. You will find that that car purchaser wants a car for the help it will give him and his family. The same motives are common with all classes of car purchasers.
 The automobile has become a part and parcel of the life of the nation. Its uses and utility are woven into every phase of our home, business, financial, social professional, even governmental life.

JORDAN OWNERS SPEAK HIGHLY
 IF THEIR CARS

The Jordan Motor Car company of Cleveland, Ohio, has just completed d booklet made up of the letters of trib- ute received from a few of the first owners of Jordan cars The Jordan was put on the market last summer and the little booklet tells the story of Jordan performance and service ill practically every state in the unioI..
 Ned Jordan, head of the company, refers to the contents of the booklet as Final proof of the Jordan sue cess because the majority of the letters emphasize the advantage en- joyed by the owners in possessing cars equipped with only high grade standard units.
 For instance, H. F. Brown of the Neptune Meter Co. of Chicago, wrote in part as follows: Tn my experI- ence with higher priced cars than yours, the manufacturers of which boast that nearly every unit or part is made in our own factory" I had difficulty in obtaining satisfactory adjustments in ordinary garages on account of unfamiliarity of employees with the details of their construc- tion. Every unit in Jordan construc- ton, however, is standard and high grade and so well known that the question of necessary adjustment is an easy one to answer"
 Tn the Jordan automobile, we find in every detail that which our eX- perience leads us to believe will give us maximum service with a minimum of trouble,' writes c. H. Smith, of the Chicago firm of L. A. Kinsey x Son, real estate dealers.
 Since the founding of this busi- ness, ten years ago. we have had twenty-siX motor cars of twelve standard makes and, until we pur- chased the Jordan we have rarely found a car that fully met our re- quirements in all it's units"
 Says Geo. c. Bridgeman of the Geo. c. Bridgeman Drug Go. of Ben ton Harbor, Mich: The Jordan car I am driving is my fourth car all of them bought new, and this is the only real car I ever owned. 1 have driven the Jordan 1900 miles with out even tightening a bolt"

MOTOR INDUSTRY. |S THRIVING ON P PAC|F EC COAST

The motor car business on the Pa cific coast is in thriving condition according to reports sent into the Hupmobile factory by sales manager, J. E. Fields. MT. Fields is on d months trip through the west and has already visited Kansas City, Los Angeles San Francisco Portland and Seattle. Dealer conventions were held at each of these large distribut- ing eenters and MT. Fields was able tn gain first hand information from Hupmobile dealers in regard to the puslness outlook.
 The entire Pacific coast is hun- gry for motor cars,' said Mir. Fields. All winter the western dealers have been unable to get automobiles on account of the freight car situation. As a result there are hunreds of orders behind for immediate delivery. The whole country suffered from the f-aight ear situation but the west felt it more on account of the lona haul and the inability of railroads to furnish western freight equipment.
 As a result of this situation, big supply of cars will be necessary to meeC the requirements along the Pa cific coast. 1 find business is con- tinuing along normal lines and every body feels that the prosperity which

WHERE FLOOD BEAT A KING

Termonde, prosperous town of

It's citizens may well feel proud. II
was here that Louis XIV suffered an
ignominious defeat at the very be-
ginning OF his War Of Devolution, or
Queens War, in which he set about
TO upset political customs and substi-
tute civil usage in the matter Of royal
inheritance. Louis defeat was due
rot to the proweSs OF the clty's garri-
son yut 10 the self-sacrifice OF her peo-
pie. who employed the Irresistible wa
ters OF the North sea to fight their
battle for them, as has been the case
so many times in the history Of the
Low Countries. The dykes were cut
and the investing army OF the Grani
Monarque fed before the flood.
During the War OF the Spanish Sue
