They propose to hold, during the week of
the Red Cross drive q bazaar or fair which is
to be particularly unique in character and es-
sentaly typical of their line of work. A
house has been loaned for this purpose, at 5
East Forty eighth Street {readers please take
note) This is to be fitted up by the decora-
tors with attractive furniture and draperies
and so on, all donated by them, and sod the
proceeds to be given to the Red Cross for an
ambulance and trailer
There are several interesting features in
the undertaking. In the first place, every con-
trbutor, be he big or little, gives anonymous

used, in any way, for advertising purposes by
any man or woman who contributes to it. The

FEED PROBLEM NOT SERIOUS
Those Who Have Plentiful Supply Of
HOMEGROWN Feeds for Fowls
Need Not Worry.

The feeding problem will not be a
serious one for those who have plenty
Of homegrown feeds for the fowls.
But where grain, as we'll as other
poultry feeds, must be bought, hens
will be considered expensive luxurieS,
especially when not laying. And no
reasonable poultry raiser expects hens
to lay all seasons. There must be a
time for mott, when the hens must
rest and prepare to lay the next clutch
Of eggs.
There Is generally considerable
waste in grain around the barn,
granary and silo. If given chance,
that might be wasted. In this way
they are an asset instead of LA
bility, even though there are times
when the hens will not be laying.
But hens should not be allowed to
pre-empt their feed in the troughs, at
the granary or where silage is scat
tered, but should be fed generously,
or allowed the scattered grain, where
they will not interfere with feeding
animals.
When judiciously fed fowls should
be profitable as any of the animals,
when the value of the animals and the
equipment needed are considered. If
they art not, then it must be that
the fowls are the Improbable kind.
If this is the case-and doubtless it
often iS-then pet rid of the TnDrOfit-
able fowls.

CARE FOR FLOCK OF GUINEAS
Nervous, ExcitabIe Fowls Can Be
Overcome by Gentle Treatment
Tender While Young.

Although the nervous, excitable dis
position of the guinea cannot be over
come by gentle treatment and petting,
the guinea is easily taught to return
home from its wanderings at night, if
1t is so taught while young, and for
this reason it is usually better to buy
eggs and hatch them under a chicken
hen rather than buy old birds and
remove them to a strange place.
The guinea is very tender while
young, and it is best to have them
Matched during the warmer part of
the season. They must have dry quar-
tiers and If Matched under chicken

hen they must be confined in a coop
or box so closely that they cannot es-
cape and run away for a few days
until they learn the hens call.
After they are few days old they
are better if allowed to run at large
to gather their own food. They may
be fed mornings and evenings, but will
gather most of their food. The guinea
hen has a rather bad reputation as a
mother, but it is according to nature
for every species of animal life to
know how to care for it's own young,
and our experience is that under Or
binary conditions the guinea hen
knows better how to care for her
young than any foster mother. OF
course guinea hen, or any other hen,
for that matter, cannot succeed In rear
ing a flock of young keats If they are
Matched late in the fall

COLDS AMONG YOUNG STOCK
Trouble Is Usually Caused by Poor

Fall colds among young stock are
usually caused by unventilated or over
crowded sleeping apartments. In this
climate all houses should have the

roost. Never permit them to bunch up
on the floor at night. Sometimes a
sudden change in the weather will

More Beans, Peas, Peanuts.

AS important TEXTURES of its supple
mentary program for feeding the ma
ton, it's armies, and the allies, the
United States department of agricul-
ture recommends that great attention
be paid to the production Of beans,
peas and peanuts. On these subjects
the program states:
"The production of beans and peas
should be increased In regions to
which they are adapted, because Of
their high food value, keeping quail
ties, and availability for domestic or
export trade.
"Soy beans and peanuts should be
increased in order to supplement beans
and peas as human food, as source
of much-needed Oil, and as animal
feeds.
''The production of beans last year
in the six leading states increased
from 1O,715,OOO bushels to 15,701 900
bushels, and peanuts from 80, 324 800
bushels to 6O,222OO0 bushels. But
these increases proved to be greatly
needed, and there Is every indication
that large increases will be readily alb
sorbed in 1913.
"The peanut is especially valuable
because of the oil it contains, for
which the need is great. In the South,
especially, soy beans and peanut meal
are proving very satisfactory: par
tial substitutes for wheat. Both soy
beans and peanuts are of great value
as forage crops"

chief reasons why the rundown man

is. lack of outdoor life, coupled with
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.

HAS ALL SEASONS
Umbrella MLent" Seems to Be
Kept at Any Time.
Some Other Points, Good and BAD,
Concerning Ones Protector From
the Sudden Shower or the Less
Annoying Steady Rain.

Umbrella is common noun. singu-
lar number, neuter gender, silk or cot
ton case-as the case may be. Ii Is
wise to have yours in the "possesslve'
case also, if 1t is a good umbrella.
The word umbrella is derived from
the Latin ''umbra," meaning shade or
shadow. This does not mean that 1t Is
exclusively shade from the weather.
but rather that you have not a shadow
of chance to get it back should you
where.
Never leave an umbrella behind you,
anyhow. Always keep it In front or
beside you, where you can see it.
Umbrellas were known to the early
Saxons and to many of the late ones
coming home from the lodge on wet
nights. They joyfully seized any
camps" they found lying around loose
in the hall stand.
In Queen Annes reign umbrellas
were assigned exclusively to the use of
women, but in all subsequent rains
men have been using them, too.
New silk umbrellas are particularly
popular with umanity-especially on
wet days. The most conscientious and
scrupulous of men have been known
to mistake nice, new umbrellas for
their own faded and decrepit ones.
Sometimes, in their temporary fits of
abstraction" they don't even leave a
substitute.
Some umbrellas are waterproof and
others not quite so. The rain runs
off the better kind and through the
cheaper sort.
Nothing can be more depressing than
to join parade of umbrella holders
In heavy shower, hoping to be i'm
mune from the rain, and get deluged
with umbrella juice instead.
Old and worn umbrellas may some
times be easily recovered, but If you
mislay good silk umbrella it is very
difficult to recover it. Some philoso-
pher has observed that the umbrella
has religious tendencies, because 1t
"keeps Lent" so easily.
There are many ways of carrying the
umbrella, but the most popular way
because the most senseless-is to carry
1t under the arm horizontally. When
you do this in a crowd some are almost
sure to notice ii and tell you about it.
They speak feelingly, too, if they
happen to get the end of your umbrella
In the stomach or back, forgetting how
much more. serious It might be if they
got it in the eye.
Umbrellas that open automatically
and without warning should be prohib-
tied. Sometimes they develop most
surprising vitality at unexpected times
and in inconvenient places. This is
caused by hidden spring in the
handle.
They are useful novelties for the
first week or so, but the novelty soon
wears off and so does the spring. Then
the umbrella becomes ill-mannered and
aggressive, springing open impulsively,
to the CONSERVATION and humiliation of
the owner.

American Soldiers in Brittany.
