Used to PROSTATE itself in the Evening
While Temple Bells
Rang.

The praying palm tree of Far1dpur,
about which certain interesting facts
were published, is dead. 1t may be
remembered that this tree used to pros
trate itself in the evening While the
temple bells rang, calling the people
TO prayer, and it erected its head IN
the morning. This process was repeat
ed every day, to the bewilderment Of
thousands of Hindus, who naturally
came to look upon it as the abode OF
some "devata" (god). Hundreds Of
fered pujahs to the unknown "devata,
which all went to fill the pockets OF
the owner of the tree. MIRACULOUS
cures were reported as a result Of pu-
jah offerings.
The curious phenomenon attracted
the attention of Sir ]. c. Bose, who,
after much difficulty, obtained permis-
sion of the owner of the tree to tnves-
tfgate the matter. He devised special
instruments-al of swadeshi manufac-
ture-and began to take records. He
found that the palm tree fell with the
rise of temperature and rose with ITS
fall. Records obtained with other
trees brought out the hitherto unSus-
pected fact that all trees were moving,
such movements being in response to
changes in their environment.
Sir ]. C. Bose holds the opinion that
"the whole of the vegetable world, in
Guiding rigid trees, perceive the
changes In their environment and re-
spond to them by unmistakable signals.
They thrill under light and become de-
pressed by darkness; the warmth of
summer and frost of winter, drought
and rain, these and many other hap
penings leave a subtle impression on
the life of the plant"

PRAYING PALM TREE DEAD DOCTOR FITTED FOR LEADER
Much in knowledge of Medicine to
Equip Man for High Pub
lie Service.

There is much In the knowledge of
medicine to fit man for the high cali
ing of lawgiver and leader of the
people. says DR.. Frederick Peterson. in
the Century. He continues:
ITO reach the goal of national
health, the physicians accumulated
knowledge and experience must be
brought to bear upon the laws which
relate to fit marriages, to housing and
the food supply, to education, occupa-
tions, recreatiOns, hygiene and SANTA
ton. to contagious diseases, alcohol
ism, poverty and crime in short, upon
every law which relates directly or in
directly to the health and well-being
of the people. His interest reaches
into tine depths of sociology, biology
and philosophy, to the relations be-
tween persons and groups, between ma
tons and races. The interests of medf-
cine are fixed only by the boundaries
of life itself. When the great state,
with its great free municipalities is at
length established, when war and pow
erty and disease and unemployment,
as we know them, have been banished
to the vast rubbish heap of mans out
grown ignorance and folly, it may be
that the physicians of that nObler time
will be expected to frame wise laws
not only to insure individual health
but to prevent the disease to which
the organism of the state, the body
polite, has in all earlier social stages
been subject"
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1918-09-13

ference-certainly a difference of sew
eral years--between wishing the war
was over and giving up, and l don't
believe the German rank and file any
more than their leaders have the slight
est idea at this time of giving up at
all.
But to return to my experience
while concealed in the house. After
the visit Of the soldiers, which left
the house in a wretched condition, l
decided that would continue my jour-
ney towards the frontier, particularly
as / had gotten all l could out of Huy
Tiger, or rather he had gotten all he
was going to get out Of me.
During my concealment in the house
l had made various sorties into the
city at night, and I was beginning to
feel more comfortable even when Ger
man soldiers were about. Through
the keyhole I had studied very
closely the gait of the Belgians, the
slOvenly droop that characterized most
Of them, and their general appearance,
and felt that in my own dirty and un-
shaven condition I must have looked
as much like the average poor Belgian
as man could. The only thing that
was against me was my height. l was
several inches taller than even the
tallest Belgians. I had often thought
that red hair would have gone good
with my name, but now, of course,
was mighty glad that 1 was not so
endowed, for red-haired Belgians are
about as rare as German charity.
There are many, no doubt, who will
wonder why 1 did not get more help
than l did at this time. 1t is easily
answered. When a man is in hourly
fear of his life and the country is full
of spies, as Belgium certainly was, he
is not going to help just anyone that
comes along seeking aid. One Of the
Germans most successful ways of trap
ping the Belgians has been to pose as
an English or French prisoner who has
escaped, appeal to them for aid, impli-
cate as many as possible, and then
turn the whole German police force
loose on them. AS I look back on
those days 1 think it remarkable that
l received as much help as l did, but
when people are starving under the
conditions now forced upon those un-
fortunate people, it is q great ten pta-
ton to surrender these escaped pris-
oners to German authorities and re-
ceive the handsome rewards offered
for them-or for alien spies, as l was
classed at that time.
The passport which l had described
me as a Spanish sailor, but 1 was
very dubious about its value. If l
could have spoken Spanish fiuently it
might have been worth something to
me, but the few words 1 knew of the
language would not have carried me
very far If had been confronted with
a Spanish Interpreter. 1 decided to
use the passport only as last resort,
preferring to act the part of deaf
and dumb Belgian peasant as far as
it would carry me.
Before l finally left the house had
a remarkable experience which 1 shall
remember as long as I live.

Grains Give Variety.

Oats are often fed to poultry for va
riety, but are not well liked unless
hulled, the hulls being tough anG
rather indigestible. Hulled oats, or
the other hand, are relished by poultry
and are excellent for producing eggs
When they can be obtained at a rca
sonable price in comparison with othel
grains, they may be fed quite largely
Barley does not seem to be greatly
relished by hens, but may be used te
give variety to the grain ration. 1t has
a little more protein than corn and
little less than oats.
Buckwheat is quite well liked by
fowls, but is not very widely fed. II
may be fed to vary the ration. Buck
wheat middlings are rich in protein
and make good mixture with corn
meal.
Rye is not fed largely, and does not
seem to be much -relished by poultry
1t is supposed to cause bowel trouble
when fed freely.

shortened slightly for fryers and roast
ers. The greatest profit and the high
est prices are secured from early
chickens. whether they are broilers or
roasters. 1t takes from four to seven
pounds of grain to produce pound Of
gain in fattening.
Crates and fattening pens should be
kept clean and carefully disinfected.
The droppings should be removed
daily or every other day, and after
lot of chickens are killed the pen
should be sprayed with whitewash
containing 5 per cent of carbolic acid.
1t is not necessary to treat the chick
ems individually for lice if the coops
are treated in this way. 1t is advis-
able either to spray the trays of the
crates lightly with coal-tar disinfect-
ant after cleaning, or to sprinkle them
with air-slaked lime. The cOops
should be examined carefully once
daily and sick and dead birds removed
This is especially essential in the falls
months when the chickens are more
apt to be sick.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Night of Dissipation.

During the first two days 1 spent
with Huyliger after l had first arrived
in the big city, he had told me, among
other things, of moving picture show
in town which he said might have a
chance to see while there.
ut Is free every night in the week
except Saturdays and Sundays" he
said, "and once you are inside you
would not be apt to be bothered by
anyone except when they come to take
your order for something to drink.
While there is no admission, patrons
are expected to eat or drink while en-
joying the pictures"
A day or two later, while walking
the streets at night in search for food.
1 had passed this place and was very
much tempted to go in and spend
few hours, particularly as it would
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1918-09-13

was too much interested in bigger
game to pay any attention to mice.
Tramp! Tramp! Halt" Again
an order was given in German, and al
though I did not understand it l am
willing to bless every word of it, be-
cause it resulted in the soldiers turn
ing right about face, marching up the
stairs again, through the hall and out
of the front door and away!
1 could hardly believe my ears. 1t
seemed almost too good to be true that
they could have given up the search
just as they were about to come upon
their quarry, but unless my ears de-
ceived me that was what they had
done.
The possibility that the whole thing
might be German ruse did not escape
me, and 1 remained in the cellar for
nearly an hour after they had appar-
emily departed before I ventured to
move, listening intently in the mean
while for the slightest sound which
would reveal the presence of sentry
upstairs.
Not hearing a sound began to feel
that they had indeed given up the hunt,
for I did not believe that a German

officer would be so considerate of his
men as to try to trap me rather than
carry the cellar by force if they had
the slightest idea that 1 was there.
l took off my shoes and crept softly
and slowly to the cellar steps and then
step by step, placing my weight down
gradually so as to prevent the steps
from creaking, l climbed to the top.
The sight that met my eyes as l
glanced into the kitchen told me the
whole story. The water faucets had
been ripped from the sinks, the water
pipes haveing been torn off, and
gas fixtures, cooking utensils and
everything else which contained even
the smallest proportion of the metals
the Germans so badly needed had been
taken from the kitchen. l walked up
stairs now with more confidence, feel
ing tolerably assured that the soldiers
hadn't been after me at all, but had
been merely collecting metal and
other materials which they expected
an elaborate dwelling house like the
one in which I was concealed to yield.
Later I heard that the Germans have
taken practically every ounce of brass,
copper and wool they could lay their
hands on in Belgium. Even the brass
out of pianos has been ruthlessly re-
moved, the serious damage done to
valuable property by the removal of
only an insignificant proportion of
metal never being taken into consid-
GRAFTON. l learned, too, that all dogs
over fourteen inches high had been
seized by the Germans. This furnished
lots of speculation among the Belgians
as to what use the Germans were put
ting the animals to, the general i'm
preston apparently being that they
were being used for food!
This, however, seemed much less
likely to me than that they were being
employed as diapatch dogs in the
trenches, the same as we use them on
our side of the line. They might pos
sibly kill the dogs and use their skins
for leather and theip carcasses for tai
low, but l feel quite sure that the
Huns are by no means SO short of food
that they have to eat dogs yet awhile.
Indeed, l want to repeat here what
I have mentioned before if anyone has
the idea that this war can be won by
starving the Huns, he hasn't the slight
est idea how we'll provided the Ger
mans are in that respect. They have
considered their food needs in connec-
ton with their resources for several
years to come and they have gone at
it in such methOdicaI, systematic
way. taking into consideration every
possible contingency, that provided
there is not an absolute crop failure,
there isn't the slightest doubt in my
mind that they can last for years, and
the worst of it is they are very cock
sure about it themselves.
1t is true that the German soldiers
want peace. AS l watched them
through the keyhoie in the door l
thought how unfavorably they COM
pared with our men. They marched
along the street without laughter, with
out joking, without singing. 1t was
quite apparent that the war is telling
on them. don't believe | saw single
German soldier who didn't look as If
he had lost his best friend-and he
probably had.
At the same time there is big diff

Corn a Fattening Feed.

Corn is heating and fattening, and
when fed to closely confined fowls il
large quantities fat rather than eggs is
the usual result. For laying hens ii
should be balanced with meat, bone.
linseed, gluten and such feeds as are
rich in nitrogenous matter, for corn is
deficient in this constituent. When
corn is fed to laying hens that have
opportunity to take plenty of exercise
and to secure insects and green feed,
much more satisfactory results are
likely to be obtained than when it is
fed to the same fowls closely confined
1t may be fed quite largely in the cold
climates during winter, but should be
fed Sparingly during summer.

TO INCREASE VALUES

The head of a concern which
operates three large stores in
Greater New York and handles
large quantities of all-meat
products recently made the
statement that, in his opinion,
the poultry growers of the
United States could do more to
increase the value of their poul-
try products by fattening all
poultry before selling it than in
any other way. The proper
place to fatten poultry is ON the
farm or in the back yard where
fattening can be-as it should
be-just a continuation of the
process of growing the poultry;
or, in the case of old birds-a
variation from the feeding meth
DDS used for stock birds that
will improve their flesh with the
least trouble and cost.

of the feeder should be to give a ysf

best. Variety may be secured by mix
