Birds Helping Win the War

From the Peoples Home Journal
 Ever since this terrible war started, a great feathered army has been fight ing day and night, summer and win ter, to help the Allies win. Without the help of these feathered soldiers, our fighting men would not have had suf- ficient food Our allies would have been facing starvation and we our selves would have been little better off The margin between sufficient food for absolute necessities and famine has been and still is uncomfortably mar row. hence the food restrictions With which we have all become so familiar The margin Is narrow, but it is suffl- cient Have you ever realized that but for the birds the feathered soldiers that margin might not, and probably would not, exist today It is an in disputable fact. Had a great disaster destroyed all insect-eating and vermin- destroying birds two years. or even year. ago, we would. today, be facing such a food shortage as, in all prob- ability, would have meant the loss of the war Even as it is, the loss from insects and from such vermin as rats and mice totals a sum so vast as to be almost unbelievable. What 1t would be without the aid of birds in keeping the pests in check fairly staggers the ina agination

London, October 7.-(Special Core spondenee.)-The pretty American girl who glances so admirngly at the smart young aviator with his neatly fitting khaki uniform and silver wings on his left breast, would receive somewhat of a shock could she see the way in which the same young pilot is dressed-even on a summer day-as he climbs into the cockpit of his machine with his feet, hands and face smeared with grease, a pair of soft leather wool-lined boots. with one. two or maybe three, pairs of heavy wooden stockings underneath and enough outer clothing to outfit half a dozen ordinary men,

 An interesting example of similar de- votion comes from northern Japan where a great temple was in process Of erection. Immense timbers were beina hauled from the mountains to be placed in the building, and the work was de- layed by the frequent breaking of tht rods At length an edict was issued calling on the women to give their ionq hair which could be woven into ropes ol

Sees Men Come Home
 From German Prisons
By LADY MARY

Icndon, October 5,-Quite by acci- dent I happened to be at one of the great London railway stations day or two ago and was privileged to wit ness the arrival in London of repa- triated men-prisoners of war-from Germany. l had gone to meet a friend who was coming from north of Eng land and when I arrived at the sta ton I was denied admission to the arrival platform on account, as was told by a policeman, "of some import- ant trains coming in from the north So I went outside into the crowded station yard, where I discovered that hundreds of people had got wind or the news that several hundred of our men from Germany were coming nome.
 I gladly joined the excited thronS that surged about the barriers put up to keep the public away from the plat- forms Presently in the distance l heard a terrific noise of hooters, steam whistles and blasts from loco- motives "The train is coming in now, said a big policeman by whose side l took refuge His face was simply beaming with joy and although he tried to be stern and official l am perfectly sure he was as curious and excited as anyone amongst us in the crowd. After awhile the long lines of ambu- lances that we could see in the near distance began to move, and flotilla of motor cars, taxi cabs and horse conveyances got into line. Then the procession began. The men who could walk and sit up were placed in the cars and cabs, while the stretcher cases, poor souls, were conveyed swiftly and quietly to the Red Cross vehicles.

BUILDING BOOM IN
 ALABAMA IS SURE
 10 FOLLOW PEACE
Numerous Important Prof. ects Have Been Held Up Because of War
 Conditions
By WILLIAM L. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, October 26.-(Special) Although big propects that are consider ed during the war emergency non- essentials cannot be built at this time, the approval of the council of national defense being necessary for all construc- tion work of any importance, Alabama contractors have already begun to lay their plans for the after-war period, when the bars will be lowered by the government. For more than year now the United States has done little toward the upkeep of big industries, as well as those of minor importance Every ounce of energy has been brought into use and every wheel of the big plants has been moving in an effort to win the war in as short a time as possible.
 The result of all this "win-the-war" programme has been: Business houses and residences have deteriorated to such an extent that immediate repairs when the war ends are absolutely necessary, and contractors, especially those in Montgomery, are looking forward to an unprecedented era of prosperity.
 During the past few months the coun- ell of defense has been compelled to re- fuse permission to build new homes, business houses and industries, that in peace time would be considered big projects. Reports indicate little time will pass when peace is declared before lum- Dermen, contractors and laborerS Will De buster than ever supplying the demands for new homes and business houses.
 There Is no possible way for the south and the north to have dull year after peace comes," said James Hodg son, Montgomery contractor. Humber men for more than year have been sup plying demands of the government only. Commercial business has been forgotten, but it will take only a short time for the country to adjust itself again to peaceful pursuits. The three large cities of the state-Mobile, Montgomery ana Birmingham-were never richer; little work has been done on business houses and residences the past two years
 An important project for the state in a short time will be the addition of the burned portion of the colored school at Tuskegee. The industrial and tailoring departments were burned about two weeks ago and it is estimated it will require at least s1O0,o00 to replace the annex.
 Records at the office of the secretary of state show millions of dollars the past few months have been invested in lumber concerns. These plants will have all demands they can fill when peace comes, 1t Is stated.

Grape Juice

Marion Harland. In the Christian Herald
 It should be better known that the juice of wild grapes. to be had for the picking by schoolboys on Saturday after moons in the early autumn, makes a de- liehtful and wholesome beverage when prepared according to rules here laid down for bottling fruit juices. Or
 Wash and pick over the grapes, throw ing away the green and defective. Then crush in pan or bowl with a potato masker or a clean wooden maliet and put through vegetable press. If you have none, rub through colander. Let the juice stand all night in cold place to settle. Next morning pour off from the dregs, and strain through doubled cheesecloth. Bring to slow boil: skim off what rises to the surface, boil five rsfrutes and pour, sealding hot, into bottles already sterilized This makes fine grape jelly if combined with gela- tine, and refreshing drink in summer.

VILLAS BAND AGAIN
 ON THE WARPATH
Resume Guerella Warfare on Towns and Settlements
 of Chihuahua State

Chihuahua City, Mexico, october 26. Francisco Villa and his band again have been on the warpath and have left trail of death, destruction and desoa- ton in their wake With the depar- ture of Gen. Francisco Murguia, the northeastern zone commander, for Mexl- co City, Villa resumed his gurella war fare on the towns and small settlements in Chihuahua state. Making a feint on Chihuahua City to draw in federal troops from outlying garrisons, he then dashed at Parral, was driven off, and attacked Jimenes junction.
 He held Jimenez for F hours, during which his men footed stores, killed SOL diers and civilians, poisoned one family and hanged another, including an Swear old girl. Driven out by Gen. Joaquin N,naro, the Durango Indian, with his cavalry, Villa attacked Jimenez the sec Jnd time, Before he could re-enter the plaza General Murguia arrived from tho south with endorsements and drove Villa into the hills.
 Che of Villas typical tricks was exe- suted against federal force garrisoning PGrral. The garrison commander re
 oived a letter written on official gov ernment stationary and signed with the name of Gen. Pedro Favela. ordering him to proceed to Pillar de Concho to form a junction with Favela's force in pursuit of Villa A signal fire on the pillar of the Conchos river was to be the signal for the junction of the two forces. The federas marched to the appointed place, the signal fire appeared on the limestone pillar and the Parral command advanced without advance guards or flankers They were ambushed and al mort annihilated

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contin- ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, develop ing arms, neck and bust and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness
 due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phos- phate known among druggists as bitro- phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by all good druggists under a guarantee of Satisfaction or money back.

POULTRY
FACTS
BREEDING POULTRY IN YARDS
More Difficult Than Keeping Small
Flock Of Hens for Eggs for
Family Table.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
The average city family will, per-
haps, do best by keeping hens for eggs
alone, but a considerable degree of
success can be attained in breeding
poultry in back yards and in many
instances it may be desirable.
By breeding poultry is meant mat
ing a male and one or more females to
reproduce the parent type; Matching
the young, and so rearing them that
they will attain the full development
Of good typical specimens of their
race. In a small way this can be done
in quite a limited space. 1t is more
difficult than keeping a small flock of
hens for eggs for the table, or growing
a few chickens for the table in the
same space, but with regular attention
and good care very satisfactory re-
suits are obtained. Good work under
adverse conditions often gives better
results than poor work under good
conditions.
The smallest breeding pen for work
on this scale and with only one mat
ing should have a male and two fe-
males. With two hens, the pen will
provide eggs for Matching at the rate
of a sitting every week or ten days,
thus making it possible to set all eggs
while the germs are strong. If a small
flock is kept also for eggs for the
table, hens from that flock may be
used to hatch and brood the chickens.
If the laying hens lay eggs of diff
ferent color from those laid by the
breeding hens, all may be kept togeth-
er. The layers may not produce as
many eggs while fed as breeders
should be, but there is a saving in
space and work, and the net result
may be as good as if more eggs we're
secured.
Rations for breeding stock differ
from laying rations in that much
smaller proportions of commercial ami
NAL foods are used, and special atten-
