BACKYARD
POULTRY GROWING

The city or town man who keeps a
small flock of hens not only is saving
money but is helping his country.
Every pound of poultry raised and
every egg laid releases just so much
pork and beef for our armies and al
lies, according to L. w. Burby, poul-
try husbandman stationed at the ag-
ricultural college by the United
States department of agriculture.
Poultry will not prevent ones grow
Ing garden Twelve hens confined
In pen big enough for exercise and
provided with green feed will furnish
goodly number of eggs for food. A
packing box and little poultry net
ting are all that is necessary for build
ing house and rum
For egg production q rooster should
not be kept, as he is noisy and has
a large appetite, but has no influence
on the number of eggs produced.
The poultry grower should not de-
pend too much on table scraps for
feeding his poultry. points out Mr. Bur
by. Enough feed should be given TO
keep the birds in good condition and
sufficient excess to produce eggs The
hens will eat vegetable Feelings
and fruit scraps If these are put
through the food chopper and mixed
with little mash. A good mash con-

Prison Labor Bill Provides
For Use of Inmates of Penal
Institutions in Road Makinu

Many state and county administra-
lions are utilizing prison labor In road
work.
Governor Brough of Arkansas has
announced that 70 to 100 convicts will
be used continuously on road work in
his state. A sentiment is growing in
favor of imprisOning all Migrants and
placing them at work on county high
ways. This method of utilizing pris-
on labor, where it is conducted under
proper conditions. has always had the
Endorsement of the national committee
on prisons and prison labor, and a pro-
vision for road building has been in
corporated in the prison labor bill.
An important feature is that of re-
curing the payment of wage to the
prisoner. Such wage will make it
possible for the prisoner TO contribute
to the support Of his dependents and
at the same time will prevent unfair
competition with free labor. The pas
sage of the bill will give impetus to
the movement for the employment of
prisoners in road work and In other
occupations affected by the national
emergency.
Ever since the United States entered
the war the demand for utilizing the
prison labor supply confined in the
penal and correctional institutions of
the country has steadily increased. Re
ports made to the national committee
on prisons and prison labor show that
the demand for this labor comes from
practically every organization which
has as IT'S purpose some work related
to the prosecution of the war. Ma
tiOnal and state food, fuel, freight,
farm and fish commissions are seek
ing prison labor. State and county
commissions are meeting TO discuss
the problem.
Many Of the proposals made will not
be realized until the passage in con-
gress of the prison labor bill intro
duced by Senator Hoke Smith of Geor-
gia and Representative Charles F.
BOOher of Missouri. This bill has been
introduced through the efforts of the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor and the American Fedora
ton of Labor to promote the use of
prison labor in the war emergency and
also to prevent exploitation of the pris-
Oner.

The people who indulge in honeyed
phrases seldom have any fear of eating
their own words.
Lenten dishes this year have no
wOrriment for the housewife who has
been keeping lent all winter by meat
less, wheatless, porkless days. Eggs
are at present so high that when using
them the frugal cook tries TO extend
them by adding something to the dish
which will give bulk and not detract
from the attractivenesS of 1t.
One good dish may be made by using
rice with egg. Put quarter of cup
full of rice we'll washed into a frying
pan with little sweet chicken fat !;
fry it until yellow, then add some
chicken broth or, lacking that any
good vegetable liquor which has been
saved because of its mineral content.
Cook until the rice is tender, season
and stir in three eggs, carefully cook
ing, add butter, salt, paprika, and
serve as scrambled eggs. This dish
will serve five or six people, saving
two or three eggs.

Optical Glass Playing a Big
Part in the World Conflict
Needed b. All Departments

That every field of military endeav-
or depends upon the supply of optical
glass is the statement recently made
by Prof. Edward w. Washburn of the
department of ceramic engineering at
the University of Illinois,
1.-The war could not be conducted
without optical glass;" said Professor
Washburn. Telescopes, binoculars, of
ficers' lenses and Photographic plates
for army and navy observation pur-
poses, X-ray bulbs and microscopic
lenses for the medical and sanitary
corps and many other necessary i'm
plements of modern army would be
struck out if it were not for the cera-
mic industry" explained the lecturer.
Previous to the war;" Professor
Washburn said, Germany manufac-
tured 100 different kinds of optical
glass, an assortment which supplied
the whole world. England boosted
about twenty varieties of glass. The
United States produced none whatever.
England'S product was not nearly suf-
lies and Britain found it necessary at
the beginning of the war to collect all
field glasses and small telescopes own
ed by citizens
Doctor Washburn then told how
America is meeting the same problem
under the direction of special com
mittee on optical glass manufacture.
'As a result of activities of this
commission" according to Professor
Washburn, American industry is now
supplying all the optical glass urgent
ly needed by the army and navy"

IN THE SPRING

Eill be the great test of a life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring

chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in bad state of health in

perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers,' and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-
haps once a week; such a one as you
can get at any drug store, made up of
