PREPARED ID GIVE MUSTARD GAS WHEN
 hOST|llTIES ENDED

Washington, Dec. 13.--When hosti- lities ceased the American army was being prepared and equipped to hurl ten tons of mustard gas into the German forces for every ton the Ger mans could deliver, Major General William l.. Sibert, director of the chemical warfare service, said tonight at dinner given in his honor On the day the armistice was signed, he said, plans for the manufacture of the standard gases we're in opera tion with a camufacturing capacity greater than that of England and France combined. This capacity would have been tribled in the case of certain gases, before tie begin ming of the new year.
 General Sitert revealed the fact that his department had perfected a new type of gas mask for the defense of the American army, which was far superior in every respect to any mask used by either the enemy or the allied forces. He added that 4O0,- coo of these masks had been protluc- ed when the war ended
 "The soldier must do a large part of his fighting in a gas mask" Gen. eral Sibert said, and fighting gas mask was developed without mouth piece or nose clip and one in which the eye pieces would not dim This type of mask was just coming into production and about 400 ,000 of them had been made when hostilities ceas- ed" "
 Speaking of the work dcne to equip the army with gas shells and new and more terrible poisonous vapors, Colonel w.. H. Walker, in charge of production, said that the great plant constructed at Edgewood, Mo-, was "the most deadly institution since time began" The work in progress there had been carefully guarded heretofore, but Colonel Walker told something of the "~poisonous gases" that were being turned out and shipped abroad when the fighting ended. While he gave no figures. he indicate that casualties among the enlisted men who handled these dead ly products at the plant would be hard to match on the hattie front"

HATCH SUMNER CHICKS

Chicks matched in May, June and July will not sleep themselves to death. if the owners keep a sharp lookout for mites and lice.
 As the weather grows warm the mites and lice appear as if by magic. Houses. nests and brood coops should be thoroughly disinfected. Dust the hens thoroughly with a good lice powder before giving her the eggs, and dust her once a week during the time she is setting. When the chicks are matched and taken from the nest give them dusting with the powder.
 Chickens matched in May, June and July will mature by winter and will start laying in January and February when eggs are bringing the highest prices.
 Set every hen during the summer that becomes broody. Place the brood coop with the hen and little chicks at the edge of the corn field. Keep the hen confined but let the chicks run. It will be good, both for the corn and the chicks. They will make rapid growth aud prove profit able.
