inexpensive Poultry House With PIen-
ty of Open Space in Front.

most common practice in cold weather
is to keep the glass windows closed all
the time; to open the cloth window
wide on clear days and close it as
much as seems necessary at night and
on stormy days. When the winters
are generally mild cotton cloth is some
times used in all windows.
Usually house can be run with q
good deal of ventilation in all but the
very cOldest weather. Birds can stand
quite low temperatures provided their
combs do not get frosted. Where there
is much hard freezing weather the
most effective way that has been found
to keep poultry house warm and dry
is to place dry straw or hay, to the
depth of foot or more, overhead on
u floor of boards laid as wide apart as
may be and still hold the straw.
Dry straw will usually absorb all
moisture, and so when 1t is used the
poultry keeper must judge by the air
in the house how much to keep doors
and windows open. A breed that will
not stand the temperature when ven-
tilatiOn is regulated in this way is not
suited to the climate.

licity'' Of the George Creel bureau Of
unnecessary encumbrance Of war for

discovered in Washington that the
American people standing for democ-

pinned down to the worst Of the lat
ter's methods of running ruthless des-
truction of the masses of the people by
an autocratic bureau at the seat of
government. The people of America
are ready to fight this war for high
purpose, but if they fight the war.
they are to have a hand in running it;
and if they win it, it win be because
they know what they are doing and
how they are doing it. The sooner all
Washington realizes the whole of this.
and discards its remnants of war
strategy to a bygone age, the sooner
the war will make real progress. The

Of Christianity; Christ stands before
PLATE. But it is not Christ before
Plate; it is Plate before Christ. and
if we listen we shall hear it again.
This is your hour and the power Of
darkness: but We shall see the Son Of
Man, coming with power"
Christian institutions have failed
only in SO far as they have failed to be
Christian. 1t is not that their ideals
have been found wanting; it is not that
their message has been untrue; it is
because they are human, and it is be-
coming clear to the leaders Of the
churches that they have faltered for
much the same reason that the allied
nations have failed up to this moment
because they have been wretchedly
divided.
The most hopeful sign Ut our day
and generation is that while at the i'm
mediate moment the powers of dark
ness seem to prevail We may witne So
the steady, largely unseen, ratification
OF righteousness.
The most terrible thing at this hour
is it's terrible waste. Indeed, one of the
most startling of modern discoveries is
that human civilization itself is so sad
ly wasteful of human life and resource
oe,fu IF Sc he
thing only to. a greater degree.
But these are not the worst of our
designations, and indeed these wastes
have been largely because Of deeper
and more serious prodigality. We have
let the very light. within us become
darkness, and the saddest Of all has
been the waste Of our moral powers,
our finer emotions and our religious
enthusiasms, through sectarian divi-
sions, UNCONVENTIONAL rivalries and UNI
restrained caprice often deluding itself
as a religious loyalty.
The greatest social movement of our
day is the effort to stop this wanton
destruction by the unifying Of our re
ligious forces. One can see it on ev
cry hand. The chaplains in France,
through their devotion and herois1n,
have changed the attitude Of the
French people and the French govern
ment towards religion. The Free
Churches of Great Britain for the first
time in their history. have made a
movement towards effective and per-
manent federation. The million HUI
guenot people of France. who have
been eXtravagantly divided, have,
within the last fortnight. come together
in common body and have sent to
this country two Of their chaplains as
representatives of the entire body Of
French Christians. a message comes
from a representative group in the
Netherlands. asking that a delegation
be sent to them to render such help
as it may in bringing their Christian
forces together. A cable from Aus
tralia announces the organization of q
federal council in that land. While
this story is being written. there sit
beside the writer delegates from the
churches of Great Britain and from the
Belgian missions upon errands OF mu-
tual fellowship and practical service.
