Are You a Defective?

God never made a normal brain
that needed alcohol to stimulate it to
action. And if you examine your
brain and decide that it needs alco-
hol, just set yourself down as a de-
fective birth, or by habit. For if by
nature your brain needs alcohol to
stimulate it, you are inferior to your
fellow men, and if it is not a matter
of birth but of habit, and your brain
needs alcohol to stimulate it because
you have accustomed it to crutch.
then you have made yourself inferior

Good Hens, Well Groomed, Will
Dig Gold From Your Back Yard

Gold is just beneath the surface in
every back yard in Omaha, and good
hens, we'll groomed, will scratch it
out. The government has decided to
help the Omaha people to get the right
kind of hens and give them the right
kind of care, so that they will cut the
maximum amount of gold. OF course
they will not really scratch out gold
nuggets. but they will scratch out a
decent hen living and produce eggs
which will sell for gold.
A. G. Peters, noted chicken breeder,
has been commandeerel by the gov
ernment to organize the backyard
chicken lot in America. He. is in
Omaha to organize it here. Hfs first
lecture on the subject will be given
Tuesda, evening at the Young Mems
Christian association rooms. why
the Government Wants Omaha to
Increase Its Poultry Production is
the subject of his talk.
Omaha chicken breeders are. anx-
ious TO hear Mr.. Peters because he is
recognized as one OF the best chicken

breeders in the country. For II
years he trap-nested and line-bred one
strain of fowls and built up a family
Of noted layers, which have since
taken many premiums at poultry
shows throughout the country.
In Nebraska Mr.. Peters is working
under the direction of the college OF
agriculture of the University of Ne
braska. Mr.. Peters lecture is to be
the first of a series of six lectures to
be given at the Young Mems Christian
association rooms on the back yard
fowl, and the importance of increasing
fowl production in the state and in
the nation.
IF there is any back yard farmer
who does not think chicken raising
will pay. even in these days of high
priced grain" said Mr.. Peters, ''he
should attend this meeting"
The hen is what Mr.. Peters advo-
Gates for the back yard-not roosters,
He is out with campaign against
the keeping of roosters except Tor
breeding purposes. They eat too
much, ana produce no eggs.
