CHAPTER xVI-Continued.

From the kitchen you could walk
directly into the cow-barn, where two
cows were kept, and this, as l have
pointed out before, is the usual con-
struction of the poorer Belgian houses.
could not make out why the caller
seemed to be so antagonistic to me,
and yet am sure he was arguing with
the family against me. Perhaps the
fact that l wasn't wearing wooden
Shoes-I doubt whether I could have
obtained a pair big enough for me
had convinced him that l was not
really a Belgian, because there was
nothing about me otherwise which
could have given him that idea.
At that time, and I suppose 1t is
true today, about "a per cent of the
people in Belgium were wearing
wooden shoes. Among the peasants
don't believe 1 ever saw any other
kind of footwear and they are more
common there than they are in Hol-
land The Dutch wear them more on
account of a lack of leather. l was
told that during the coming year prac-
tically all the peasants and poorer
people in Germany, too, will adopt
wooden shoes for farm work, as that
is one direction in which wood can be
substituted for leather without much
loss.
When the young man left, I left
shortly afterwards, as 1 was not at
all comfortable about what his inten-
tions were regarding me. For all
knew he might have gone to notify
the German authorities that there was
a strange man in the vicinity-more
perhaps to protect his friends from
suspicion of having aided me than to
injure me.
At any rate, was not going to take
any chances and l got out of that
neighborhood as rapidly as l could.
That night found me right on the
frontier of Holland.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Experiences in Holland.

Experiences in Holland.
But I was not quite out Of the
woods.
now knew that was in Holland,
but just where 1 had no idea. walked
for about thirty minutes and came to
path leading to the right, and l had
proceeded along it but a few hundred
yards when I saw in front of me a
fence exactly like the one 1 had
crossed.
''This is funny" said to myself. 81
didn't know the Dutch had fence,
too" I advanced to the fence and
examined it closely, and judge of my
astonishment when I saw beyond 1t q
nine-foot fence apparently holding
live wires exactly like the one which
had nearly been the death Of me!
had very little time to conjecture
what it all meant, for just then 1
heard guard coming. He was walk
ing so fast that 1 was sure it was a
Dutch sentry, as the Huns walk much
slower.
was so bewildered, however, that
1 decided to take no chances, and as
the road was fairly good wandered
down it and away from that mysteri-
Gus fence. About half a mile down l
could see the light of a sentry sta
ton and 1 thought 1 would go there
and tell my story to the sentries, real
izing that as 1 was unarmed 1t was
perfectly safe for me to announce
myself to the Dutch authorities. l
could be interned only if I entered
Holland under arms.
AS I approached the sentry box 1
noticed three men in gray uniforms,
the regulation Dutch color. I was on
the verge of shouting to them when
the thought struck me that there was
just a chance 1 might be mistaken,
as the German uniforms were the
same color, and l had suffered too
many privations and too many narrow
escapes to lose all at this time by
jumping at conclusions.

back into some bushes when out of

KILL DISEASED BIRDS

There are some cases in which
medicines may be advantageous
ly given or applied to fowls, but.
as a rule, when a bird becomes
sick it is better to kill it, be-
cause the cost Of medicine and
the value Of the time required
to carry out the treatment are
greater than the value of the
bird which is cured. Another
reason for killing sick birds is
that they may be affected by a
contagious disease which before
it is recognized may spread to
many other birds in the flock. A
third reason for killing is the
! fact that a bird being sick in
dicates that it is more suscepti-
BILE to disease than the other
birds of the flock, and in order
to establish a flock which is able
to resist disease such susceptible
birds must be eliminated.

Overcrowding of chickens in small
coops is a frequent cause of disease
and death.
Never grow chicks in the same house
with old birds. If you do, you may
count on lice and mites and scrawny
chicks out Of which the insects are
sucking blood. ---

Disinfeetants and Their Use.


Good dfsinfectants destroy the
germs Of contagious diseases, the ex-
ternal parasites, such as lice and mites,
and in some cases the eggs of para
site worms. The eggs of some kinds
of worms are so resistant that disin-
fectants other than heat have little
effect upon them. The disinfectants
should be thoroughly applied to the
interior of the houses, worked into
all the cracks and crevices, spread over
the ceiling and the floor, the roosts.
dropping boards, and nest boxes. At
the same time the feeding and drink.
ing troughs should be disinfected by
pouring boiling water into them and
afterwards drying them in the sun. Dis
infectants are most easily applied to
the walls and ceilings with spray
pump or by using a brush. AS it Is
difficult to keep the chemicals from
coming into contact with the face and
hands, the more harmless of these
mixtures should generally be used. Or
binary limewash made from freshly
slaked lime is excellent, and its prop
critics are well known to all. In the
case of an actual outbreak Of vfrulen:
disease, it is well to add to the white
wash six ounces of crude carbolic aciG

II. B. PEACOCK FOR TREASURER.

The Sentinel has been authorized
to place the name of Mr.. H. B. Pea
cock before the voters Of the city of
Grenada for the Office of Treasurer.
Mr.. Peacock was born not far from
Grenada and has lived past the three
score and ten mark within short
distance of the place Of his birth,
hence his character as citizen is
well known to the people not only of
Grenada but of the entire county.
That he is honest none will gainsay
That he has endeavored to aid all
worthy movements and been pro-
nounced in his friendships and con-
victions is also without controversy.
His children are the best legacy that
he will leave the state and these all
show that they have had the care and
the attention of a father whose first
thought has been for them. He has
about reached that point in life when
he is unable to perform those hard
services that younger men can, vet
the care Of his wife and others of his
household are no less pressing upon
him. Ths Sentinel bespeaks for Mr..
Peacocks candidacy that fair con-
sideration always given by the voters
Of Grenada to candidates for Of
fee. r..

INCOME TAX MAN HERE.

Had Best See Him.

Mr.. 7. B. Cullom, federal income
tax adviser, reached Grenada, Tues
day afternoon and will remain here
at the court house until January 15.
or next Tuesday. He is here to ad-
wise with the people and show them
how to make out income tax papers
as well as to tell them who is ex-
empt and who is not exempt. This
time q greater number will be caught
in the income tax net than ever be-
fore. II catches every unmarried
man who makes as much as $1,000
and every married man who makes
as much as $4,000. Now when one
comes to figure on this, worlds and
worlds of people will be gotten. The
farmers, the mechanics and every
body had best come in and inter
view Mr.. Cullon.

petition their O. X. and forwarded
the same on 20 the Judge. There
were a number of reasons assigned.

court should not be held but chiefly
that the bar had been 80 busy dur

1t will be interesting for all Gre
nadians to know that in the contest
between Grenada and Winona for
the one making the best showing in
the Red Cross Christmas drive WAS
won by Grenada by over 25o new
members. Chairman A. L. Camp
bell worked hard and the credit for
the winning is largely due to his un-
tiring efforts and that of his as

his efforts brought home the bacon.

great surprise if Winona were to beat

independent kingdom of Europe bord-
ering on powerful neighbors and un-

Matching plots to unseat the young
ruler and there is treachery and trea-
son in his own household.
This is one of the most popular
pieces of fiction that appeared for a
long while and we are glad of the op-
portunity to furnish it to readers OF
The Sentinel. If you are not already
