HANDLE BULLETS WITH CARE
Make All Changes Gradually and Keep
Roasting Quarters Dry and
Well Ventilated.

Pullets beginning to lay should be
handled with exceptional care. Do
not think BECAUSE they have started
to lay that you should confine them
in their winter quarters. Make no
changes on them till the weather will
permit; then take plenty of time in
varying the ration. Make all changes
gradually. Keep the roosting quarters
dry, we'll ventilated, but boarded up
tight on the north, east and west sides.
They should then have q comfortable
house, and when handled by careful
person who understands the nature Of
the hen they should produce abun-
dainty.

gci,eol, for while he was the son ef
a poor farmer, she was the daughter
OF a shopkeeper In the town, and,
moreover, she was the prettiest girl
in the locality. Prosperous youths from
the surrounding villages paid court TO
her: the farmer boy had never dared
to aspire to her hand.
Then the war came, and the farmer
put on his uniform, took up his rlne
and went to the front. He was wound
ed three times, but each time was able
to go back. Then, at the Aisne, IN
the summer of 1916, he was mutilated
by a hand grenade when on night
raiding party headed for the German
lines. He lay in No Mans Land for 70
hours, until the following night, when
his comrades crept out to the shell hole
lust in front of the enemy barbed wire
entanglements where he lay, and car
ried him back to the French lines.

He lived through it, to the surprise
of the surgeons who attended him.
News of his mutilation reached his
home town, and a few weeks ago~he
received letter from Mile. Marguerite
Layenue, Just twenty years old and
the belle of the village, telling him
that she had heard of his misfortune,
that his duty for France was finished,
but that hers had just begun, If ne
would consent to marry her.
Sergeant Georges Roy, himself only
fwenty-three, was stunned at the pro-
1osal. He could not believe it was true
until she came to Paris, to the great
,ospital located in the Grand Palals
N the Champs Elysees, and told him
he meant it. They were married soon

West TO SUPPLY
NEEDED SULPHUR
Comes From Gases Evolved in
Smelling of Zinc.
NO new PROCESS NECESSARY
Development of Large Zinc Fields Re-
Gently Discovered, Will Insure Sup
ply of Sulphur for SuIphuric Acid
That Will More Than Meet the De-
mands in the United States During
the War.

Eastern manufacturers will have to
turn to Kansas City and the middle
West for their supply of sulphurlc
acid during the war. Prof. Erasmus
Haworth, dean Of the Mining school,
has made a survey of reports of pro-
ducers in various portions of the coun-
try, and finds that the West will soon
be depended upon entirely for the sup
ply of sulphur and sulphuric acid.
The main supply Of this acid will
come from the zinc district around
Baxter Springs, Kan, and Miami,
Okla, and in part around the Joplin
(Mo.) zinc district. The Joplin dis
trict was always known as one of the
largest zinc fields in America, but the
discovery of the field around Baxter
Springs, the extent Of which is IN
known, makes it the largest In the
world. With this field being properly
developed the output Of zinc will be
enormous, and astthis zinc Is smclted
the sulphur can be collected from the
gases, making a supply of sulphur for
sulphuric acid that will more than
meet the demands in the United States
during the war.
No New Process Necessary. -
At the present time only about 10
per cent of the sulphur is saved at
these smelters. To save the entire
supply no new process or invention Is
necessary, as the process has been in
use in some places for 35 years, The
United Zinc and Chemical company
Of Kansas is already one of the larg-
est sulphuric acid producers in the
Missouri valley. This company uses.
the ores in the Joplin district. With
the eastern concerns closed on account
Of the high cost Of transporting min
erals to the East, the western firms
will enlarge their shelters and amply
supply the entire United States, Pro-
fessor. Haworth points out.
The question Of adequate sulphuric
acid supply came before the chemists
Of the country at the recent conven-
ton of the American Institute Of Min
ing Engineers in st. Louis. The east
ern companies reported that the United
States was threatened with a short
age of sulphuric acid, since the sup
ply Of pyrite, which had been import
ed, was cut off. Biologists In the West
and South are now asking the eastern
chemists and manufacturing compa-
MES to turn to the West for the sup
ply. Sulphur is being mined in Louisi-
ana> and Texas In vast quantities now
as fast as the market will consume 1t.
Near the mouth of the Brazos river,
in Texas, sulphur is in high piles
awaiting transportation.

MO REMEDY FOR BLACKHEAD
Free Range and Care MOT to Overfeed
Are important Factors in Rails
Ing Turkeys.

Of the infectious diseases of tur-
keys, blackhead is the most destruc-
tive. 1t is notable that whenever the
climate and range conditions are such
as to permit of the turkeys foraging
for most of their feed from the time
they are Matched until they are mar
keted, cases of blackhead are infre-
quent. No positive cure for blackhead
has been found, but free range and
care not to overfeed are very impor-
tant factors in raising turkeys sue

Re-education Of muscles, a new

adelphia. In explaining the idea, which
has been tested in England and Can

Their adaptation to new uses can be

FEEDING FOR EGGS
Poor Practice to Stuff Fowls Full at

of Condition.

If you want eggs during the winter,
don't stuff the birds full at their morn
ing meal. When the hens fill up first
thing In the morning and then go back
to loaf on the roosts, you'll get fat
fowls, but you won't get many eggs.
In a short time they will be out OF

EARLY TO BED"
 RULE JAMMING
 BOSTON TRAFF FIG

Boston, Jan. 31 - The "early to bed" regulations imposed by the state fuel administration are fast be- coming a matter of habit with Massa- chusetts people. Members of the ad- ministration said today that com plaints had dwindled perceptlbly since residents of the cities had ac- customed themselves to beginning the business day at g o'clock, quitting work at 3 and being courteously shown the outer doors of theatres and saloons on the stroke of 10 o'clock at night.
 The one disturbing factor appears to be the traffic crush in Boston when the thousands of store and ot- flee workers make a simultaneous dash for cars. Before the fuel say ing rules were put into effect this was spread over a two hour period. NOW it is concentrated in the half hour after 5 o'clock, and the facilities o1 the Boston elevated railway are over taxed. although much extra service has been provided.

Taken when bilious, head achy, for, colds, bad

Instead of nasty, harsh pills, salts, castor oil or dangerous calomel why don't you keep Cascarets handy in your home? Cascarets act on the liver and thirty feet of bowels so gently you don't realize you have taken a cathartic, but they act thor oughly and can be depended upon when a good liver and bowel cleans ing is ecessary-they move the bile and poison from the bowels without gripping and sweeten the stomach. You eat one or two at night like candy and you wake up feeling fine, the head ache, biliousness, Uad health, coated tongue, sour stomach, constipation, or bad cold disappears. Mothers should give cross, sick, feverish or bill ious children a whole CascarG any time-they are harmless and safe for the little folks.-Adv.
