Paris, Oct. 14.-The tendency is
remarked in certain German circles,
says a dispatch from Geneva to the
Temps, to represent the eventual
call of Emperor William as q con-

be disposed to allow to the Allies if
they demanded it.
Such talk appears, above all, the

of the slower flying bird, with a rate
of thirty-fve to fifty-five feet sec

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER


"AspergillosisY is. the name of a
disease that is fatal to chickens, and
is the result of feeding moldy grain,
writes Frank L. Pratt, extension peul-
try husbandman, United States depart
ment of agriculture.
1t is especially important that the
farmers and poultry keepers should
protect their chickens by giving them
as sound and sweet corn as possible.
There is practically no cure for this
disease. AS the disease develops there
is a fever, diarrhea, dropping wings,
great depression, suffocation and
death. The symptoms are similar to
those Of tuberculosis, and aspergillosis
and tuberculosis are both cases of
what practical poultrymen often term
"going light"
The spores of aspergillosis are usu-
ally introduced by moldy grain or feed
ing the grain in moldy filters of straw.
The fungus most frequently, develops
i'll the respiratory system, mouth and
lungs. To prevent it, feed sound,
sweet grain. Moldy corn is particu-
larly dangerous.

How Soldiers Appreciate Books.

Libraries are maintained on all

submarines, submarine chasers, trans

On the warships the chaplain has SUI
pervision of the libraries. From the
United States ship Iowa comes the fol-
lowing:
''Do you ask if the boys appreciate
the books from the library? There
would be no question in your mind If
you had the privilege some afternoon
of standing on our berth deck shortly
after Knockout They come from all
parts of the ship. They read every
thing, from biography and science to
the technical books of trade, from the
) textbooks of college to the latest popu-
lar fiction, and they are at it all the
time. Anywhere, after working hours,
you can find men perched near any
light plugging away the lonely hours
with fascinating novel of adventure.
Nearly every man not standing a
watch can be found porting over a
book somewhere in the decks

respondent.
Sport walked upon the platform of
the station at Fifty-second street, only
to be kicked upon the tracks. But
the tables were turned. Sport sat up
as big as could be in the center of the
track until a train arrived, and then
he took the lead down the track in
front of the train at "a slow gait. The
motornlan footed his whistle for Sport
to get out Of the way, but each time
the whistle was footed Sport stopped,
wagged his tail and replied with a
bark.
Followed by three electric trains,
Sport kept on. When the, procession
reached Twenty-fourth street Sport
was removed from the track and went

out he was working for a firm Of
wholesale gIocers. Like a more IA
NOUS, though scarce more gallant
and nifty man, who also suffered
from an abnormality of the nose, he
hailed from Bergerac. A flavor of
fine bravado pervaded all his acts.
He was the least mechanical of men.
Everything about him was individ-
Eual, protestant, critical, even artistic.
His leading quality was imagination.
He took highly romantic view of
life.
He uttered no commonplaces, but
could say "Good morning" and
i"Good night" with originality. The
sun went far to heal his wounds,
though it could not give him nose
Or an eye, and from daily exposure
he turned the color of mahogany.
One day was surprised to find him
standing without support. In lit
tie while he walked, and finally, on
the invitation of a kind woman, he
went out for a drive. I hope she
knows how much pleasure she gave
him. 1t was in three stages-an-
Iticipation, realization, remembrance.
Il witnessed the first and third, and
learned, lesson in the art of living.
He taught me how joy may be pro-
!longed in both directions. In the
third stage especially, he revealed
great dramatic talent. By word and
gesture he described the drive so
that we saw with him the magnifi-
cence of Paris, the busy haunts of
men, the fashions of the day, the hui
1nors of the street, and also the love-
hEess of nature in the Bots.
In every contest of wit grandpere
was superior. Though the hospital
was almost free from melancholy,
except When visitors brought it with
them, there was a certain sadness,
OF rather dullness, in the eye wards.
This grandpere did his best to dis
pei. His efforts, l found, were not
entirely spontaneous. 81 cannot af,

Germ-Proof Money.

To bank in Spokane, Wash, be-
longs the distinction of circulating the
first antiseptic germ-proof national
bank notes. The United States treas
ury is still experimenting with devices
to launder dirty bank notes to bright,
crisp ones, but the Spokane bank has
the first sanitary money on record.
Fifty thousand dollars in bills, put out
by the bank, were signed with an ink
said to consist largely of carbolic acid.
The result is the bills are saturated
with an agency which means death to
the most vigorous germ who'd live
there.

EXAMINING ONES oWNfMOUTH
How Sufferer From Toothache May

Dentists Attention.

It will no longer be necessary for a
person who desires to count his teeth,
or to see whether they need the at
tentiOn of dentist, to turn and twist
himself before mirror, with his
mouth open, trying to make the light
strike so. that he can get a view of
his, molars and bicuspids and other
dental appurtenances. No, he can
now put the light inside of his mouth,
thanks to a new device which is COM
pact enough to permit this, says Pops
ular Science Monthly.
This device, expected to prove of
service to dentists and physicians, is,
in effect, an attachment to any cleo
trie light socket, fitted with a voltage
reducer so as to light a small opal
bulb, to which is attached a small
magnifying mirror, and which can be
inserted into the mouth and held in
place with an attachment to the
cheek. {
The hollow tooth in the rear can now
be examined with ease, and a plug of
cotton saturated with oil of cloves iD-
serted to insure "sleepful" night. :

rob the dentist of his livelihood 1t
simply enables the tOothache sufferer
to obtain temporary relief until it is

: BOMBING PLANES
They Are Necessary to Win the War
in the Air

l"The fastest ocean liners are the
largest. This has not yet been ac-s
complished with the ships of the air
oceans. The need of larger and /
faster aeroplanes is the immediate
problem of war aircraft.
"Air fighting is a new science; rel
connaissance scouting, photograph
ing, and even air dueling, have ar
rived at a certain degree of perfec-- |
ton, but dreadnaughts of the sky are
lin the crueible. Dreadnaughts, in
tsky-parlance, are bombing planes, of
sufficient carrying power to elevate
at high speed and navigate at higher
lspeed, carrying air depth bombs,
capable of destroying enemy land
forces and equipment. It is the
problem in military aeronautics that
faces the allies and ourselves. The
icall from. abroad is for Bombers, an
advanced type Of reconnaissance
fplane. The bombing plane goes
farther in size and carrying capacity
than a battle or reconnaissance
Eplane, though at present less in ra-
ldius of operation. It carries a crew
from two to a dozen men and at
least two tons of bombs, at 100
mile speed on trip perhaps 1000
miles, out and back, or around field
Iof operation, The German Gotha,
Friederichs;fen, A. E. g., have set a
pace in bombing planes, and lead in
! quantity production designs. They
fhaver created the problem, and forced
, the allies to develop better machines.
"The coming of the bombing plane
has developed a new science OF air
ffghting-a science that has adj
vanced SO rapidly on the fighting
fronts that now over Is per cent of
all craft are used for bombing pur-
Iposes, in which a group of armored
! bombing planes could be escorted
i by twelve to eighteen fast battle and
pursuit planes over the enemy's lines
land protect them against the hostile
attack of high speed planes. These
Squadron formations shoot up be-
yond the range of aircraft guns and
spread OUT, in. V shape formation,
protected by the fast cruising bat
tleplanes.
For great distances these squad
rons must fly over powerful anti
, aircraft fire, pursued by swift enemy
battle plane fleets, hold their course
and drive off the attacks, until they
arrive at their goal or objective,
thousands of feet below. The
squadron must keep its definite
course, keep its sights set accurately
1so~ that when the crucial moment OF
attack comes, bombs may be shot,
, or dropped, with the accuracy Of
rifle fire, that they may not go amiss
, their mark, OF explode uselessly in
the air.
"The operator in the bombing
lplane must be skilled range finder
. and quick at the trigger. He must
calculate the depth, set his sights,
know exactly the angle of the plane
with reference to the objective, and
then let go the charge. 1t takes a
bombing operator three months of
intensive training in military and
: flying practice to learn the science,
! which includes strict discipline, drill
!, ing, theory of flight, aeronautic en-
gineering, knowledge Of instruments
! land explosives, and even the aero
plane itself, as well as astronomy,
meteorology, and radio telegraphy."

Ancestral Brains.

Some folks live on the glory of their
ancestors. They tell of the greet
things they did and the greater things
they think they did. Then when they

eruption of boast of greatness that
might have been. These poor creatures
live in the past It's no wonder they
do SO little In the present.
