prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
There are several kinds Of material
that cnn be used in making a roof for
the poultry house, but 1t should always
be kept In mind that the roof should
be water tight. If 1t is allowed to
leak, the interior OF the house Will
get damp, the birds will become IN
healthy, lose vigor and be more suscep-
tible to fatal diseases. Single roofs
should have a one-third pitch, while
those covered with paper or metal may
have a less pitch or be almost fiat.
However, the greater the slope the
longer the life of the roof.
Specially prepared paper or shingles
laid on sheathing may be used for
covering the roof. Roofing papers are
used very extensively for poultry
houses at the present time and In
many places are replacing shingles. AS
n rule the former are cheaper and cas-
Ter to lay. while they can be laid on
a much flatter roof than the latter. One
or two ply paper is usually used on
the sides, and one. two and three

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION u
AGAINST ALCOHOL. :.

AGAINST ALCOHOL.
The following are excerpts from the
inaugural address of DR.. Arthur Dean
Bevan. president Of the American
Medical association, at the annual
meeting Of that body:
Each member Of the medical pro-
f~ession. each county medical society.
each state medical society, should take
an active part In the propaganda
against drink and ecure national pro-
hibition not years from now. but now.
when II is so badly needed and will
accomplish SO much good not only for
our boys in khaki and in blue but for
the nation in arms.
"There can be no doubt Of the in
furious effects of alcoholic drinks on
both the physical and mental well-be-
Ing of our population. There can be
no doubt that the greatest single factor
we can control In the interests of the
public health Of the nation would be
the elimination Of alcoholic drink.
II want to plead for the united ac-
ton Of the organized medical profess
sion Of this country to secure protec-
ton by law against the injury that
drink is doing to our people, not as a
political measure, but as the most i'm
portant health measure that could be
secured. In this crisis, when we and
our allies are fighting not only for our
selves but also for humanity and civ
ilizat;on, we must organize the entire
nation in the most efficient way pos
sible, and this cannot be done without
eliminating drink"
The address Of Doctor Bevan was 80
enthusiastically applnuded as to leave
no doubt of the approval Of the three
or four thousands Of physicians and
their friends in the audience.

CHAPTER ".
Aunty Rose unbends.

There never was n lovelier place for
q little girl-to say nothing of a dog
to play in than the yard about the
Stagg homestead; and this Carolyn
May confded to Aunty Rose one fore
noon after her arrival at The Cor
ners.
Behind the house the yard Hoped
down to a broad, calmly flowing
brook. Here the goose and duck pens
were fenced off. for Aunty Rose would
not allow the web-footed fowl to wan
der at large, as did the other poultry.
It was difficult for Prince to learn
that zone of those feathered folk were
to be molested.
There was q matchmaking oak
tree on a knoll overlooking the brook.
Around Its trunk Uncle Joe had built
a seat. Carofyn May found this n
grand place to sit and dream, while
Prince lay ut her feet.
When they saw Aunty Rose III her
sunbOnnet going toward the fencod-k
garden they both jumped UP and
bounded down the slope after he:. II
was jnt here at the corner Of the
garden fence that Carolyn May hae
her first adventure.
Prince, of course, disturbed the -
renity Of the poultry. The hens went
%shriekins. aes,way, the guinea fowl
lifted up their voices In angry chat
ter, the turkey hens scurried to cover.
but the turkey cock, General Boil
var, a big, white Holland fowl. was
not to have his dignity disturbed and
his courage impugned by any four
footed creature with waggish ears and
the stump Of q tail.

The Worm Turned.

He loved her devotedly. He was also
bowlegged. Both facts gave him pain
at times.
He passed 1t by with a rueful smile,
when she merrily said that his Attic
ton gave him such an arch look, and
that, after all, he vas a pretty good
sort when you get on to his curves.
He bore II patiently when she referred
to his walk as parenthetical progress.
But he rebelled and broke the engage
ment when she called her pet dog
through the wicket formed by his legs.

said he, "but ! emphatically object to

a crocodile from the Nile Joseph Stagg
would have felt little more at a loss
as to what disposal to make OF the
creature than he felt now regarding
his little niece.
"Well--she1l be n nuisance; nm aw-
full nuisance" was his final comment,
with a mountainous sigh.
Thus far. Aunty Rose Kennedy's at
titude towards the little stranger had
been the single pleasant disappoint-
ment Mr.. Stagg had experienced.
Aunty Rose vas an autocrat. Joseph
Stagg had never been so comfortable
In his life as since Mrs. Kennedy had
taken up the management Of his home.
But he stood In great awe OF her.
He put the lawyers letter In the
safe. For once he was unable to re-
spond to a written communication
promptly. Although he wore that
band Of crepe On his arm he could not
actually realize the fact that his sister
Hannah was dead.
Any time these fifteen years he
might have run down to New York to
see her. First she had worked In
the newspaper Office as n stenogra-
pher. Then she had married John
Lewis Cameron and they had gone i'm
mediately to housekeeping.
Cameron vas n busy man; he held
a "desk job" on the paper. Vacations
had been hard to get. And before long
Hannah had written about her baby
"Hannah's Car'lyn."
After the little ones arrival there
seemed less chance than before for
the city family to get up to Sunrise
Cove. But ut any time he might have
gone to them. II Joseph Stage had
to New York, 1t would not have
brought the world to an end.
MOI was II because he was stingy
that he had not done this. No, he was
no miser. But he was fairly hurled
In his business. And there was no

the back Of the hardware store.
On this evening he closed the store
later than usual and set out for The
Corners slowly. To tell the truth, Mr..
Stagg rather shrank from arriving
home. The strangeness of having a
child In the house disturbed his tran.
quiility.
The kitchen only was lighted when
he approached; therefore he was re-
assured. He knew Hannah's Car'lyn
must have been put to bed long since.
1t was dark under the trees and
only long familiarity with the walk
enabled him to reach the back porch
noiselessly. Then 1t was that some
thing scrambled up in the dark and
the roar of a dogs barking made Jo-
seph Stage leap back In fright.
"Drat that mongrel" he calculated.
remembering Prince.
The kitchen door opened. revealing
Aunty Roses ample figure. Prince
whined sheepishly and dropped his alb
breviated tail, going to lie down again
at the extreme end Of his leash and
blinking his eyes ut Mr.. Stagg.
1.-THE critters as savage as a bear u
grumbled the hardware merchant.
"He is a good watchdog; you must
allow that. Joseph Stage" Aunty Rose
said calmly.
The hardware dealer gasped again,
II would be hard to say which had
startled hin the most-the dog OF

Carolyn May.

Aunty Rose was stepping back and

gave light to all the room.
It would have been impossible for
the wisest person to guess what were
the thoughts In Aunty Roses mind.
A glad little yelp from the dog tied
to the rail Of the porch sounded sud-
denly. Even Aunty Rose could not
mistake that cry Of welcome and she
knew very little about dogs-to their
credit. at least. She had heard no
other suspicious sound. but now she
crossed the room with firm tread and
opened the porch door. Yes. a little
