POULTRY TODAY IS PROFITABLE
Contrary to Reports There is More
 Money in Raising Hens Now Than Ten Years Aao-Expert Figures.

Professor ]. F. Lantz, specialist in animal nutrition, of the Tioga Mill & Elevator Co.,, of Waverly, N. r., has this to say about hens in 1917 as con- pared with 1907:
 Let us compare costs and profits in 1907, a normal year, with that of 1917. We have chosen the year of 1907 be- cause in that year the poultry busi- ness had great impetus. It was then that poultry shows and local poultry associations were being organ ized all over the country. People were going into the poultry business in the year 1907 just as fast as they are go- ing out of it in 1917. The business in 1907 must have been profitable. And it was. Now we will make a compar- ison in order to determine just how much the business is losing under present conditions.
 Good poultry feeds in 1907 approx imated $175 per 100 pounds, against $3.50 per hundred pounds in 1917 Some feeds cost more and some less than $1.75 in 1907. just as some sources cost more and some less than $3.50 per hundred in 1917; but the above is closely enough approXimated for req sonable comparison. It shows the cost of feed to be 100 per cent more in Av4a tlAd11 III 4vUif WAAGA1 4uIlJ COtSIs the difference.
 Hens eat from 80 to 90 pounds o1 grain feed per year, and passing oul | calculations on the maximum of 9( 1 pounds per hen, 70 pounds of which 1 should be laying food and 20 pounds
 of mixed or whole grains, the cost oi grain to keep 8 hen year in 190f
 would be 90 pounds multiplied by s1.75, or $1.57 1-2: and to keep her
 in 1917 the cost would be 90 pounds
 multiplied by s3.50 or $3.15. Thi:
 minus $1.57 1-2, cost in 1907, show:
 the cost of grain to keep a hen 1T
 1917 to be $1.57 1-2 more than it cos
 in 1907.
 | Now, let us make comparison O 1 the receipts from the hen in 190'
 and 1917. In 1907 Pennsylvania fresh eggs sold at from 17c to 40c pc
 dozen. averaging 20c.
 | A hen sold live weight at cent
 per pound. Hence the receipts iron
 a hen which weighed four pounds ant produced twelve dozen eggs per yea would be as follows:

 In 1917 Pennsylvania fresh eggs sell at from 25c to 65c per dozen, av- eraging 45c, and hens sell at 20c per pound, live weight. Hence the re- ceipts for 1917 would be as follows: 12 dog. eggs O 45c .........s5 s5.4o 4 lbs. hen Q 20c ............... 80

Girls! Lemon Juice
 Is Skin Whitener
How to Make Creamy Beauty Lo-
 tion for a Few Cents.

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes whole quarter pint of the most re- markable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juce is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as frecklcs, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, whjtener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any drug store and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it dailv into tie face, reck a1ras and hands.

 ALLIES WILL WIN WAR

New York, May 16.-Appearlng un- expectedly at a Red Cross luncheon of the Merchants association few hours after his return today from Flu rope, Henry P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross. addressed the gather ing and told of the war conditions he had seen.
 q have just come back from the war zone, and ladies and gentlemen, we are at war" he said. We are at war for our lives.
 The military situation in general is very serious, but l think reflect the attitude of General Pershing in saying that the allies will win. Of that there is not a doubt.
 Red Cross Activities.
 A summary of some of the Red Cross war relief described by Mir Da- vison follows:
 In France relief is being extended in 121 cities and towns; in Italy in forty-five cities and town, with branches in 21s other places.
 There are 5000 Americans abroad working for tae Red Cross. In France the organization has thirty warehouses containing more than ST. 000,000 worth of goods.

 Aid from Home Needed
 \ factory has been established for the manufacture Of artificial limbs and five splint factories are operating under Red Cross supervision.
 It is such activities as these that convince Mir. Davison that America is today a rainbow toward which west ern Europe, from the north of Scot land to the south of Italy. looks as the sign of comfort and hope, and victory"
 Speaking of the Red Cross drive next week, he said: We need to let it be known to our own soldiers and the soldiers of our allies and the peo- nles behind their lines that the Amer ican people are with them heart and soul"
 MT. Davison's talk was with the newspaper men at his home here after he had attended luncheon of the Merchants association, where he spoke briefly.

Judge J. S. Naples says that Dick sons intended surprise circular on the eve of the primary is an admission of his defeat. Dickson says elect him because Naples has had office a long while, because if he is not elected it might crush out the aspirations of young manhood and blight the hopes of fathers and mothers; because he has had to fill out a few registra ton papers without pay for noble sons called to fight for him, you and me, and has actually had to lose little time and sleep to talk for the Red Cross, Y NJ. c. A. and sale of bonds This is awful, besides Naples said he would not offer for the office again, which statement is not and never will lively to proudly point to the fact of his iudgeship; and besides, he is now about 90 years old, had license 26 years; has made a great success if nancially and still has every cent of 1t. Was born tired, has worked hard for 3 months, almost worn out his best roads trying to see the voters; cant find them, and lots of the peo- pie 25 miles away never heard of him as a lawyer. Naples has been busy in his courts, giving all his spare time to the War Service. 1t takes work to canvass, I'm short on work, but smart I'll get cut my speech; tell them I'm a big lawyer and in fact say anything to catch vote. The people will see I'm smart, gulp it down and we will defeat Naples. Such tactics might win with Old Bill Kaiser and his bunch. It will not win in game true America

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
 BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There IS only one way to cure catarrh- al deafness, and that is by consti- tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imper- feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an in- famed condition of the mucous sur faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Circulars free All Druggists. 75c.

Not only the soldier wounded or sick in camp or hospital is the object of Red Cross care. hut prisoners of all nationalities are subjects of it's ministrations. Many of these testimonials have been print ed as the personal experiences or ob- servation of the writers, and there is no diseordant note or hostile criticism in all the communications voluntarily offered in commendation of the work of the Red Cross. In the history of charitable organizations none have such an enviahle record of appreciat- ed labors nor higher place in the worlds organized ministries. Read the following statements of what the Red Cross people are doing for weary fighters in the mad war whirl and for soldiers and their families:
