PLAN FOR POULTRY SUCCESS
Suggestions Sent Out From Washing
ton for Benefit of Practical
Chicken Grower.

Government poultrymen are appeal
ing to the American people, both in the
country and in the cities, to increase
poultry production as much as possi-
ble- The following nine suggestions
have been offered as a means to attain
ing this end:
1. Keep better poultry; Standard
bred poultry improves the quality and
increases production.
>. Select healthy, vigorous breeders
to produce strong chicks.
3. Hatch early to produce fall and
winter layers.
4. Preserve eggs when cheap for
home use.
3. Produce infertile eggs, except for
Matching.
6. Gull the flocks to eliminate I'M
profitable producers.
z. Keep a small backyard flock to
supply the family table.
s. Grow as much of your poultry
feed as possible.

PRESS COMMENT
Women as Jurors

Now that women are citizens of the
state of New York, with all the rights
and obligations of citizenship, there
is no more reason why they should be
excused from jury duty than there is
why men should be; excuses for
physical disability are as easily ar
ranged for one sex as for the other.
But the puzzling part of the crusade
is why on earth women should want
to sit on juries. Here for genera
items men have sought so strenuously
TO evade jury duty that their lodging
sometimes becomes public scandal,
and yet the women in the first year
of their full citizenship come clamor-
ing for the very job that the men
have been lodging. Haven't women
any sense at all? Don't they know
"a lemon" when they see it? Is il
really true, as some of the suffragists
have been telling US, that women havf
O keener ethical sense of the respon.

BE humble, o America! Let not
The idle boast, the weak vainglory,
blot
The fair white page of our achieve
ment. Let
Us not in this triumphant hour forget
The years we, hesitating, held aloof,
While Nations trembled meath the
cloven hoof.
Forget not Belgium! With unerring
blow
She hurled her slender body 'gainst
the foe,
And, bleeding, writhing, paid the
awful toll, -.
To save a world and her immortal
soul. w.
Forget not France! Unfaltering she
came,
Unfurled her banner, crying Free
dom's name.
For four long years she flashed her
fiery sword,
And checked the onslaught of that
barbarous horde.
Bare are the fields where sleep her
hallowed dead,
But God has planted peoples on each
bed.
Forget not Britain! With her little
band
OF "Old Contemptibles" she took her
stand,
And, fearless, faced an overwhelming
foe,
Met thrust with thrust and blow with
- furious blow.
Till, spent with toll, yet needing still
the call, E
She smiled at Death, her back against
the wall.
Be humble, o America! Our dead
Lie proudly side by side with those
who bled
That Liberty may live. Be it oul
pride
We came not quite too late, but turn
ed the tide,
And led the way to Victory! Thanh

have trod;
That in Gethsemane we, too, have

That spread beneath the shrapnel'!

One splendid, brave, redeeming droE

A War without Victory

More people died in the United
States from the influenza epidemic
than the country lost in all its wal
operations. That is the official
estimate at Washington.
Every state when at war takes
elaborate precautions to guard human
life in the ranks of the fighting men
No money is spared that can be ex-
pended with benefit to that end
Rightly so. But is it not strange
that the never-ending war with dis
ease draws no action from the highest
authorities elected to serve the public
interest in peace as well as in war?
Disease has much of the terror of
war, war with its tragedies, suffering,
casualty lists, its separations and
harsh Establishments. Disease men
aces women and children, most of its
victims being infants.
Disease strikes at the virility of the
nation by reducing the stamina
masses Of the people. 1t is recog-
nized enemy of every country.
Political science is to attempt the
prevention of war; medical science
can prevent most diseases. The
great moral forces are lining up in
support of an effort to end war, and
there is the gravest need for an eff
fective effort to prevent disease.
Victory over disease, proclaimed by
lower mortality rates, particularly
amongst the babies, would give cause
for popular demonstration of pride
and relief. Canada's unsatisfactory
situation as regards the public health
demands action by the federal gov
eminent with no loss of time

CHRISTMAS DINNERS
FOR 1000 SOLDIERS
Plum Pudding and Turkey with
Cranberry Sauce

London, Dec 20-Two thousand
American soldiers, sailors and ma
rines will be entertained at turkey
dinner on Christmas in 1000 British
homes next Wednesday, thanks to
thoughtful preparations made fol-
their care. The plum pudding and
roast beef of Merrie England viii be
there, vying with the American tur-
key and cranberry sauce. While ev-
cry man in the A. E. F. will get
plenty Of Christmas eats and cheer,
the 1000 lucky ones will fare better.
It's ali a part of the programme of
the international Hospitality League
of the Y NJ. C. A. They provid
hospitality for lonesome soldiers ar
what better occasion could there be
for driving away the glooms that
sometimes fcregather in the war zone
than on Christmas day?
So the Hospitality League has ask
ed for 1000 homes; and they got
them. Which means that 1000
American soldiers may have what it
takes to drive away inconsistencies on
the one day of all days when a fellow
wants good companionship. The
boys go two to a house, so that 1000
are taken care of in 1000 homes.
Turkeys are reasonably plentiful.
For time the plum pudding was in
danger because of lack of currants
and other proper ingredients, but now
that Fritz has faded away, the ship
ping minister has decreed that bot
toms may be spared to move the cur
rants that lay in a distant port just
waiting to be transported and trans
formed into plum pudding.
In addition. to the 1000 who will
have their real Merry Christmas in
homes in or near London, there will
be 1900 others invited out for the
afternoon tea and evening supper.

Three of Prisoners
Had Been Freed After
Sentence of Death

PROFESSOR de Valera, William Cos
grave and Countess Markievicz all
were arrested for the parts they played
IN the Sim Fein revolt in Dublin. in
Easter week of 1916, when the short
lived Irish Republic came into being.
All were sentenced to death, but this
was commuted later to life imprison-
ment. After several months in prison
all were released.
Professor de Valera was elected
member of Parliament for East Glare
last July, and in October Premier
Lloyd George announced in the House
OF Commons that de Valera was plot
ting. to bring about new Irish re-
bclllon, few days before de Valera
was elected president Of the Sim Fein
at Dublin. Since the passage of the
Irish conscription bill de Valera has
been very active in working against
1T, and has had many conferences with
John Dillon.
William Cosgrave was elected mem
per OF Parliament for Kilkenny last
later he said the Irish could fight Ger
man domination. On May 1 he was
selected to accompany the Lord Mayor
OF Dublin on his proposed visit to the
United States in connection with the
antl-conscription campaign in Ireland.
One of the most prominent figures
in the Dublin revolt in 1915 was
Countess Georgina Markievicz. She led
part of the Sim Fein forces, and
was reported to have personally killed
a guard in an effort to capture Dublin
Castle. She returned to Dublin last
July. Last December two boys were
arrested while carrying high explo-
sives from Scotland to Ireland. Thew
were reported to be members of a
Boy Scout organization headed by
Countess Markievicz.
Arthur Griffith has aided the Sim
Fein by his pen and counsels more
than by active leadership. He took
no part in the fighting of Easter week.
and at various times has been in con-
aict with de Valera, who is of more
fanatical type. De Valera was born
in New York City of Spanish father
and an Irish mother.
Joseph McGuinness was elected to
the House of Commons last October
over the Nationalist candidate. He was
then serving a sentence of three years
in prison for participation in the Dub
lin rebellion.
Thomas Hunter was sentenced to
death for taking part in the rebellion.
In June of last year the British
government decided to release without
reservation all the prisoners impli-
Gated in the uprising.
