are the kind that should just be filed.

DO NOT KILL THE HEN THAT
LAYS THE GOLDEN EGGS

You can't eat your cake and have
it-but you can poach your egg and
eat the hen later.
Appreciation Of this fact, the
poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
say, will add 15O,OOO,OOO eggs to
our food supply this year without
reducing our supply of chicken
meat. Investigators have found
that because poultry brings 2 cents
a pound more in winter than in late
spring, many farmers in the South
have been throwing away valuable
egg profits just to get s cents more
per hen. They believe that if farm
ers will keep their laying hens and
sell their eggs and then market the
birds in the late spring, they will
not only add to the food supply
but actually increase their profits
so cents per hen.

If AuTocRAcY WINS

According to Chicago official
the railroads have been "shame-
fully treated by the people for
years; they have been throttled
until they were unable to move"
He says there is no shortage of coal
available at the mines. On the con-
trary, there are more mines operat-
ing than ever before in the history
of the country; that there is but
one cause for the coal shortage,
and that is the lack of cars and
the motive power to haul them.
This is his defy: "You cannot
find one single mine in the United
States where the miners can work
five hours day regularly and
have the cars into which to put
their products" Then the Ameri-
can people are robbers and extor-
TONERS. They are sand-baggers
and garroters. They have robbed
the railroads of their legitimate
profits and exploited Wall street
and all the financial kings and rail
road Napoleons for the enrichment
of the many, and in order to bring
about the impoverishment of the
multi millionaires Of America, 1t
appears there is no man-po~er
shortage. 1t appears there is a coal
ear shortage.
Well, well, well Win the war!
Then the genius of American states
manship will solve the railroad
problem, the manpower problem and
a thousand other problems which
are bobbing up today. II Demo-
craey loses the decision, and auto
cracy wins it, the Kaiser and his
field marshals will solve all the
problems for the American people.

SOAP FOR WOUNDS

Common yellow soap, the kind
used by housewives in washing
clothes and dishes, has been found
to be a wonderful cure for wounds
in French hospitals and its use has
spread to the British medical sta
tions. A solution is made from a
cake and injected into soldiers
wounds, even in the latest instances
into the deepest bullet holes, where
it has proved itself to be super
Tor antiseptic to hydrogen peroxide
and most other germ killers, and
in addition strangely effective
healer of torn tissues.
Wounds treated with soap need
fewer dressings and lessen pain far
more than do wounds treated with
other antiseptics. These facts
greatly expedite the work of the
surgeons, who can handle more men
than when using other solutions.
