History is made in hurry. but the writing of history is drawn out through the weary years.
 When this war is over, the first historians will talk of generals and adnlirals; of liquid fire and poisonous gases; of machines that shoot 20 miles and of guns that mow men down like ripe wheat before hurricanes; of the dofngs of armies and nRvies; of sub marines and aeroplanes and of tanks.
 And after a while the real histori- ans will come to see that language had as much to do with victory as lead and steel: that words are as power- full as ordnance; that the men who helped the government with their heads and tongues share the glory in equal degree with the men who pull ed triggers and aimed field rleces.
 The pen is mightic- than the sword" but the spoken word is nigh tier than either. No history of this world war will be complete unless full chapters arc de- voted to tho -Four Minute Men

casionally the appetite may be too raw
enous to be a good indication. The
general condition Of the colt and the
droppings should be observed daily.
Usually not over one pound of grain
per 100 pounds of live weight should
be fed until the animal is two years
old. A liberal supply Of salt and good
water and plenty Of fresh air and exer1
else are essential for the proper de-
velopment Of young horses. Idleness
succeeding exercise will cause consh1
patton. 1t is often said that horse Is
made during his first winter. Certainly
this is a critical time in the animaPs
life, and at no other age will proper
feed and attention do as much to make
Of him a good horse. If stunted during
the first winter he never will gain
proper size and shape.
During the second winter the feed
and management should be nearly the
same as for the first winter, except
that the quantity of feed should be In
creased somewhat, the colt tied up in
his stall and handled frequently. Edu4
cation by gentle and careful but firm
handling at this age will save later
much strenuous labor.

Gauntlet cuffs and throw" or scarf
collars are among the small innOya-
tons in coat styles that distinguish
them from preceding seasons. Anoth-
er almost universal feature of new
coats is some sort of definition at the
waistline which may be either above or
below the normal waistline, and is
OftenmOst above. Nevertheless, many
Of the new coats achieve an almost
straight silhouette. Bearing these
three peculiarities in mind, it will not
be at all hard to acquire an up-to-date
coat, for spring styles show no radical
departures from those of the winter.
Although the throw is merely sup
Dlement to the spring coat for wear
on keen, chilly days, it may be made
style note full Of charm. There is
knack in wearing it which all lies in
adjusting it becomingly. Each of the
two coats illustrated here is provided
with a throw and one of them is fur
Their favored with one phase of the
gauntlet cuff. Both are of wool
velour, which has proved itself an
ideal fabric for coats.

the banks of the streams. With the
melting of the snow and ice in the
spring, all of this filth will be washed
into the streams and carried to our
waterwOrks. This will test the filter
plants to their capacities, many of
which have too small a margin to care
for an excessive flow of filth. Break
downs will occur and the people must
be prepared to protect themselves by
boiling water for domestic purposes
upon the first indication of trouble
with their local water supplies.
In view of the above, the question
ought to arise in the peoples minds,
with all the money that is being spent
in the identifying of our cities, wheth-
er or not it would not be wiser to use
this money for the enlarging and i'm
proving of the publication plants so
that our waters may be safe, and wait
a little longer for our boulevards and
parkways. We certainly must use all
known ways, and where possible, de-
wise new ones, TO protect the health of
the young population and to conserve
what we now have from unnecessary
destruction.

APPEALS TO ALL
TO RAISE CHICKS

In line with the big campaign to con.
serve food that is being conducted by
the food administration, the United
States department of agriculture is
making direct appeal to every family
to produce food in so far as it can.
J. W. Kinghorne of the federal de-
partment of agriculture is in charge Of
the middle Western states in the gov
ernment's nationwide campaign to
stimulate poultry production, with
headquarters in Chicago.
In an interview Mr.. Kinghorne made
the following statement outlining the
nations needs and the big aid city and
suburban jewellers can give in supply
ing them:
Sin hundreds Of ammunition plants
in various parts Of our country skilled
mechanics are working day and night,
turning out shells to pave the way for
democracy.
Contrast this with the possibility Of
every city and suburban family that
has the available ground establishing
another form of munition plant to pro-
duce shells filed with a most valuable
and nutritious food. In other words,
producing eggs.
''The part that the American hen
can play in winning this war can be
materially increased by the establish
ment of thousands of backyard poultry
plants all over this country. That
''food will win the war" is brought be-
fore our attention daily, and the rea-
son why food can and will play such an
important part is because it is just as
necessary and important as ammuni-
ton to obtain ultimate victory.
''That poultry and eggs can be pro-
duced more quickly and by a larger
number of people than any other form
of animal food is the all-important rea-
son why Uncle Sam is making a ma
tiOnal effort and strong appeal to-
every city and suburban dweller to
produce poultry, and especially eggs.
''The equipment for such an enter
prise need not be large or costly. A
lot 25x30 feet is ample to accommodate
a flock of twelve to twenty-five hens,
which should produce sufficient eggs
for the average family. By building
simply constructed poultry house out
of dry goods or piano boxes, and sup
plementing the regular feeds with;
table scraps, eggs can be produced at:
but little cost. Thus the backyard
flock will not only help.in reducing the
cost of living and make possible strict
Iy fresh eggs, but at the same time it
will fill a national need as a source Of
food production"

KEEP YOUNG HORSE GROWING.
Good Practice, When Not Carried to
Extremes, to Allow Colts to Rough
1t in Winter.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Colts that are kept growing make
the best horses. Some farmers allow
their young horses to trough it,
through the winter and, although this
is good practice when not carried to
extremes, if the feeder is not careful
it may give the colt a setback which
permanently retards it's development. |
Feeds that will promote growth
should be supplied. Good, clean clover
hay is palatable and slightly laxative.
Timothy hay commonly is. fed. Well
cured alfalfa hay free from dust is one
of the best roughages for growing, but
because of it's relatively high protein
content it generally is economical to
supplement it with other roughage such
as timothy, mixed hay, or corn fodder.
Besides lending variety to the ration
such a method of feeding alfalfa would
offset any likelihood of kidney or
bowel Irregularities. Sheaf oats can
be used to good advantage to supple
ment other roughage. The animals
selves on dry feed. They should be
given only what they will clean up
readily, but at the same time enough
feed should be supplied. Oats, corn
and peas, preferably fed ground; are
suitable grains. Bran, oil meal or glu-
ten feed will add protein and lend vari-
ETY.. Cottonseed meal should not be
fed to foals. Appropriate grain ra-
tons for the first winter are: Two
parts corn, five parts oats, three parts
bran and one part oil meal; or four
parts oats, one part corn and one part
bran.
Silage should not be fed to foals to
any considerable extent. Sliced roots,
such as carrots and sugar beets, are
very palatable and have a cooling eff
feet on the digestive system. The
quantity Of feed generally should be
regulated by the appetite, although Oc-

Washington'S Death Was
Caused From Diphtheria
According to Physicians

In most histories it is stated that
George Washington died from pneu-
monia or quinsy, but DR.. J. A. Nydeg-
ger of the United States public health
service sends to the Medical Record
a letter written by DR.. Cullen Dick of
Alexandria, Va, on January 10, 1900,
which shows that che undoubtedly
died of diphtheria.''
The letter recounts the circum-
stances of Washington's last hours, the
consultations of the physicians in at
tendance, of whom Doctor Dick, the
writer Of the letter. was one, and tells
how Dick urged that the sufferers
trachea (windpipe) be cut open so as
to permit him to breathe. The other
doctors would not consent to this.
They had bled their august patient in
vain, and would not even give name
to the disease from which he was dy-
ing. It appears that Doctor Dick was
reluctant to acknowledge that there
had been an outbreak of Group in
Alexandria, and he would use only the
term "inf1ammatory quinsy' for that
with which Washington was afflicted
Doctor Dicks description of the dis
ease, to which he proposed to give the
name "cynanche laryngea," was one of
diphtheria; he did not use that word
perhaps because it had not yet been
invented.

The Woman of Forty and
What She Should Do and
Not Do to Hold Her JOB

The woman of forty and over must
learn to obey orders in an Office.
The woman of forty and over must
forget the rules of her former employ.
ment and yield to those Of the new job.
The woman OF forty or over should
be neat.
The woman Of forty and over must
demand no especial consideration be,
cause Of her years.
These are just few of the warn
ings offered the middle-aged woman
seeking employment by Mrs. Alice Nc
Bride of the Woman's Association of
Commerce of Chicago.
She has given them to Miss Eliza
beth Bennett, temporarily Of the en-
ployment bureau Of the women's di-
vision of the state council of defense,
and applicants for work will be with
all due delicacy informed that these
be good rules to follow.
''TOo often I've seen the middle-aged
woman lose track of herself, as it were,
when she is employed, and know en-
ployers put up with her just so long
and then she is dismissed.
"Men like a neat woman In an Of
fee. She need not be a raving beauty
if only she be neat and prepossessing.
And she need not think that a bit of
cosmetic, bit of powder or a good
cream are only the young woman's pre-
rogative. The older woman needs to
look well and must see to it that she
does.
"But most of all, the middle-aged
woman finds it difficult to adhere to
rules in an Office, and too often she
irritates by saying, AT my last place
we did SO and So
"Now, then, all the employer cares
about is having his own rules carried
out and the woman employed will do
well TO take his viewpoint"
Mrs. Mcbride is a-well, she will
not tell her age, her weight or her
financial standing.
81 am old enough to know" she says,
and those who know her say she most
certainly does know from the top of
her glossy white hair and perfect com
plexion to the tips of her perfectly
shod feet. Mrs. Mcbride is stenog'
rapher.
