fitting finds we're turning
out just as fine quality
clothes as before the war.

America, too.
We admit we've turned
our position in the trade to
good account.
Why not?
We're a big house with
all the advantages of manu-
featuring on a big scale.
You benefit too!
That's evidenced by the
reasonable prices that still
obtain all through the
stock. Were we following
the common practice to
figure on the present cost
of things, 'twould be a diff

fed with a normal profit on
the cost at time of pur-

figures back a year ago!
There's no harm in COM
ing to look. Never any in

Our statesmen realize as we
do that it's good business
to encourage a man to look
elsewhere, too, before he re-
turns to buy.

CASUALTY LIST POLICY
EVOKES MUCH PROTEST
President Personally Considers Ques-
ton and Congressman Re-
count Many Objections.

Washington, March 14.-Protests
against the war departments new
policy of issuing casualty lists with
out addresses, continue to reach
members of congress.
President Wilson is understood to
be giving personal consideration to
the reasons for the decision and it is
known that the department has ask
ed General Pershing. who suggested
it at the instance of the French gov
ernment, to forward a full statement
of the military considerations in
volved so they may be laid before the
American public. Members of the
cabinet said that the matter was not
discussed there.
In connection with the plan now
being considered of issuing lists
twice a month or once a week instead
of daily, it has been suggested that
under this scheme there might be no
objection to giving addresses and
names Of relatives of the men. One
of the chief objections to the plan
was the announcement of the dates
on which men were killed or wound
ed, thus giving the enemy exact in
formation as to the results Of certain
engagements.
In the house Representative Nc
kenzie, of Illinois, Republican, cited
the case Of a Montana man whose
name, appearing on casualty list,
was identical with that Of a boy in
the army from an Illinois town. He
was Joined by Representatives Lit
tell, OF Kansas, and Graham, OF IL
linois, Republicans, in insisting that
names should not be made public
without addresses.
Representatives Glass, OF Vir-
einia; Garrett, Of Tennessee, and
Humphreys, of Mississippi, Demo-
Gratis, defended the action OF the de-
partment, saying the decision had
been reached by men who know more
about the question than members of
congress. Representative Garrett
said the newspapers had failed to i'm
press upon the people the fact that
the department promptly notified the
relatives of each man whose name
appears on list.

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE
STRIKES AT PROHIBITION
Rejects Dry Amendment, Adopting
Substitute Providing for Refer
endum on Question.

Albany, n. Y. March IA pro-
posal to ratify the federal prohibi-
tion amendment this year received
what is considered a death blow in
the New York legislature, when the
assembly. by vote of "a to GA, and
after one OF the most spirited debates
in years, adopted substitute which
would provide for a referendum this
fall on the ratification question. The
senate has not yet acted upon the
proposal. but committee OF that
body earlier in the day favorably
reported a referendum bill. The re-
ferendum proposition now is appar-
emily up to Governor Whitman, as
there is little doubt but that it will
pass the legislature.
When informed of the action, the
governor made this statement:
81 favor the ratification OF the fed
eral amendment. 1t is clearly i'm
possible for me to say what disposi-
ton l could make of a measure be-
fore the legislature has acted"
The governor let it be known,
however. that he considered the sub
stitution by the legislature a mis-
take.
William II. Anderson, state super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon league
said
THE fight is not over. even for this
session. Direct ratification is no
more dead than city local option was
dead when it received a set back last
winter"
Those in favor OF the referendum
declared that the submission to the
people could in no way delay ulti-
mate ratification as some of the state
legislatures do not meet this year.

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga.
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok.
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY

The American Tobacco Companv are
producing millions of these toasted ciga.
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the BOYS
il France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.

have cigarette for the wounded soldier
as, in most instances, that is the FIRST
thing asked for.

THE DOG-MAN'S MOST
CONSTANT COMPANION
(Charlie White-Moon.)

l have never met a good man, wo-
man or child that did not love flow
ers, music and animals. If your
means will allow it, you keep a
horse, COW or dog. Nearly every
one can have a dog. Remember that
they have diseases the same as we do
and that the same remedies that cure
you will help them. If you have a
horse or COW. give plenty of feed OF
the right kind; don't compel them to
live on the same feed all the time ::
you would not like to eat nothing but
meat and bread every meal, year in
and year out; you would not like to
be deprived Of salt for months at a
trme Change your animals feed at
least once week, oftener if you can !:
give them turnips. CARROTS. cabbage
potatoes or something of that kind
often as possible during the winter,
and grass at least once a week in
summer. Keep salt before your
stock all the time. They have more
intelligence along that line than YOU
have. and will never eat too much !;
and they know better when they do
want it than you possibly can. Above
all things, be kind to your animals.

perience has taught this, and / prac-
tice it among my own stock, and |

The American troops holding a
portion of the line OF battle north

their daily routine. Following their
incursion OF Monday morning, after
bombardment, they raided German

had been customary, by the French.

where some of the hardest fighting
in which they have been engaged has
taken place.
All along the western front in
tensive artillery duels and raiding
operations are continuing on isolated
sectors. The Australians again have
carried out successful raids into
German trenches northeast Of Mes
sines, killing number of Germans
and making prisoners of others. In
Lorraine the French near Moncel
put down effectively a strong Ger
man attempt at a foray, infiicting
heavy losses on the enemy and also
taking prisoners. In addition to a
continuation Of the artillery duels
along the Italian front, there is con-
siderable aerial activity daily. In
fights in the air Monday the Italians
brought down five hostile planes.
The British troops in Palestine
are giving the Turks no rest. Again
they have driven forward their lines
northwest of Jerusalem. Numerous
casualties were inflicted on the Otto
man troops and several machine guns
were captured.
Monday nights air raid over Paris
was the most disastrous in point of
casualties, the Germans have yet car
ried out there. Thirty-four persons
were killed and 10 injured by bombs

er persons were suffocated in the me-
tropolitan railway tube. where they
had fled to escape the missiles OF the
raiders. Some 60 hostile machines
carried out the attack, and four of
them were brought down by the
French.
Berlin says the raid was made as a
reprisal for the bombing of SUIT
gart and other German towns.

traps, are of many designs, but the
more simply constructed are prefer
able. Probably those made entirely
of metal are the best, as they are
more durable. Traps with tin or sheet
iron metal bases are not recon-
mended.
Guillotine traps OF the type shown
should be baited with small pieces of
Vienna sausage (Wienerwurst) or
fried bacon. A small section Of an
ear Of corn Is an excellent bait If
other grain is not present. The trig-
ger wire should be bent inward to
bring the bait into proper position
for the fall to strike the rat in the
neck.
Other Excellent Raits.
Other excellent bats for rats and
mice are oatmeal, toasted cheese,
toasted bread (buttered), fish, fish
offal, fresh liver, raw meat, pine nuts,
apples, carrots and corn, and sun
flower, squash or pumpkin seeds.
Broken fresh eggs are good bait at
all seasons and ripe tomatoes, green
cucumbers and other fresh vegetables
are very tempting to the animals III
winter. When seed, grain or meal Is
used with a guil1otine trap, it is put
on the trigger plate or the trigger
wire may be bent outward and the
bait placed directly under it.
Oatmeal (rolled oats) is recon-
mended as bait for guillotine traps
made with wooden base and trigger
plate. These traps are especially con-
venient to use on lodges or other mar
dow rat runs or at the openings Of
rat burrows. They are often used
without bait.

SELECTION OF POULTRY FEED
Reduce Cost by Using Low-Priced Sub
stftute Grains-Oats Are Cheap
er Than Corn. ~

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
While farmers, as a rule, have fed
their poultry the grain that was cheap
est on the farm, many poultry spe-
cialfsts and most small poultry keep
ers have been accustomed to use their
favorite poultry feeds without consid-
ering either the quality Of the sup
ply or the possibilities of using cheap
err substitutes.
Under normal conditions, corn I'm
nearly all parts of the United States
is the cheapest poultry feed. At the
present time, oats are nearly every
where cheaper than corn. When corn
goes down to $1.5O a bushel, oats
should be rs cents and barley $1.2O
a bushel to give the same value for,
the money fed to poultry, as~corn.
The common characters and condi-
tons of grain which roughly determine
their values as poultry feeds are cas-
lily estimated by the eye, or by weight
or bulk i'm measure or containers Of
known capacity.
Good cracked corn is hard, bright,
clean, free from soft and chaffy par
ticles. Corn that Is crushed (not
cracked), and shows much soft, chaffy
and scaly matter, should be rated pro-
portfonately below good cracked corn

which any considerable amount Of
greenish discoloratfon appears should
be rejected as unfit fer poultry.
Oats with the hulls on are at once
seen to contain more indigestible mat

indigestible hul1s covering oats make
that grain less palatable to poultry
and it's feeding value must be discount
ed.
