System Used In
Feeding Poultry

There are two systems in use
for the feeding Of fowls, in one of
which all the feed is given dry
and in the other of which one or
more Of the daily feeds consists
of a moistened mash. For conven-
ience they may be termed the dry
feed" and the "mash" systems, al
though in the dry-feed system a
dry mash is often fed. Dry feeding
is used by many where it is not
convenient to make and feed a
moistened mash. The greatest ad-
vantages to be derived from the
dry system are the saving of labor
and the lessened danger of bowel
trouble resulting from sloppy or
soured mashes.

The Man Who
Overcame Difficulties

Men with weak eyes will remem-
ber that Theodore Roosevelt had
weak eyes all his life and became
successful hunter, an omnivor-
Gus reader and a keen naturalist.
Men with defective hearing will
remember that Theodore Roose-
welt lost the use of enc of his ears
and could still distinguish the calls
of birds and lead a people mag
nificently. Men stricken with pain
will remember that once Theodore
Roosevelt worked at his cores
pondence until he tainted and the
couch on which he lay was drench-
ed with blood. Cripples will hear
the word that Theodore Roosevelt
spoke when a physician told him
in the last month of his life that
he might be confined to his chair
the rest Of his days, "All right !
/ can live that way, toow
The millions will remember the
inspiring leader; but a few with
terrors to face will always cherish
most the man who overcame.-

optimist in this world-the only
world we know anything about:
This critical 2OOrld is a pretty good
place
# yOu take all yOW noes With the
right kind of grace
And learn to find good IN y0ur Sor-
rOW and pain
And to wdtch for the Sunshine that
fOUOoCS the rain.
Somehow people don't like a
CROUCH" man who doesn't know
how or when to smile. They like
the man who sees good in every
thing, who learns to smile by the
way:
And every dear 1cjnter to me has
been May,
Because / hare learned to smile By
the 1CGy.
The great bard said: Sweet are
the uses of adversity." This is the
thought of a philosopher and re-
veals a great truth. Obstacles
make for courage and build char
acter. That which counts nothing
is usually worth nothing. Defeats
are often the creates victories.
Crosses" says the old proverb,
"are the ladders that lead to hea-
ven." Difficulties may intimidate
the weak, but they act as a whole
some stimulus to the man with a
smile.
The harder yoWre hit the higher
bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye.
1t isn't the fact you're licked that
counts.
Bat hoW did you fight and why?
A smile is the biggest asset to
any man or woman. 1t means
admirers. good nature, health
and wealth. It disarms foe and
makes a friend. 1t builds hope,
banishes fear. 1t opens the door
to the joys of life and the riches Of
existence. 1t is a jewel beyond
price,

By Their Works, Know Them

Mrs. jacques Futrelle, of At
lanta, who has just come back to
her native city after having
achieved success as a novelist,
playwright, and photo-play seem
ario writer, says that she was in
different to women's enfranchise-
ment until the New York women
got the ballot, and now she is
scrambling over the fence to the
suffrage side.
"Since l have seen the women
of New York" said she, 81 realize
what wonderful practical politi-
clans they are making. Women are
better housekeepers than men, and
they will make better voters be-
cause they know better how to
keep clean houses, are more econ
omical in the distribution of funds,
and have a better understanding
of their political obligations.
Jacques Futrelle was in favor of
suffrage, for he said seven or eight
years ago that women would carry
higher ideals to the political life,
and he believed they would make
successful politicians. You may
add that every intelligent man l
have talked to is for suffrage. The
others do not count"

"The Value Of A Smile"

Commenting on an incident
which occurred in the National
House of Representatives when
one member charged his opponent
with being "a continual CROUCH"
a Washington correspondent says:
SIS it natural for men, especially
politicians, to be grouches? Have
they not yet learned the value of
a smile?
This busy world, with it's Won
derful revelations, it's tremendous
possibilities, has no use for the
"grOuch. The minister who never
smiles misses the sweetness OF
religion. The lawyer who never
smiles loses more cases than he
wins. The editor who never smiles
turns the cream of his readers to
sour milk. The merchant who
never smiles loses trade. The gen.
eral who never smiles loses his
grip on his men. The politician
who never smiles usually stays al
home. The salesman who never
smiles loses his position.
1t is a pretty good idea to be an

BRIDGET CAN
DEPART ANY TIME
NOW In BUFFALO
Housewife Can Order Meals
for Her Family From
Cooked-food Center

Bridget can depart at minutes
notice, and her mistress, if she
lives in Buffalo, will experience no
sinking of the heart, for she can
order meals for her family from
the cooked-food center and the
family machinery will run as if
there had been no interruption.
The Buffalo food center is under
the supervision of the home
demonstration agent of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the State College of Agricul-
ture, and the Buffalo Home Bu-
reau. Complete meals are sent out
from it to be served in the individ-
ual homes. It's patrons have the
family life that centers around the
home dining-room table with the
saving of fuel, labor, and food
costs which come through large
scale operations.
The work in Buffalo started in
a small way, but few weeks eX-
perience showed that the equip
ment was inadequate to handle the
business that Immediately develop
ed. The cooking of meals was dis
continued until alterations could
be made and on June II the center
was ready to handle business on
a large scale. Two hundred peo-
pie came the first day, and the
regular orders for dinners and
luncheons' continue to grow. The
menus are prepared under the sup
ervision of the home-demonstra-
tion agent so that they represent
balanced meals. These menus are
distributed to the patrons one
week in advance, and the orders
are returned to the kitchen several
days in advance of the delivery of
the meals. In this way materials
may be ordered when they can be
secured at the lowest possible
figure.
Special features Of the service
include the Thursday-night dinner,
which is in great demand by those
fortunate house-keepers who have
maids to whom they give a half
holiday Thursdays. Many house
keepers also order the Sunday din
ner, because it gives them a day
free from preparing meals. Food
for the sick is a feature of the
work in which the physicians are
greatly interested. Special diets
for special diseases are recommen-
ded by the home-demonstration
agent and this food can be pro-
cured at the cooked-food center on
special orders.

To Remove Tar From
Finished Surfaces

The presence of tar on the roads
here and elsewhere arouses numer-
Gus inquiries as to how this tar
may be removed from cars with
out removing also the finish. Ac-
cording to men of experience tar
should be removed quickly from
the car, otherwise it hardens and
leaves unsightly streaks and spots,
An application of oil will soften
tar; olemargarine is often used,
Another good solvent is cocoa but
ter, which is harmless for remov-
ing all kinds of grease and oil as
we'll as tar. Avoid the use of gaso-
line on all finished parts.

Humble Clothespin Effects
Saving Of Train Time

A new system of handing
"orders" to crews of passenger
trains at signal towers, by which
the train is not required to slow
down perceptibly, has been IN
stituted by the Baltimore and ONO
Railroad.
Formerly the train which had an
"order board" or signal, at a
tower set against it came almost
to a stop while the towerman hand
ed copies of an order from the dis
patcher's office to the fireman, per-
ched on the steps of the engine,
and to the conductor, standing on
the steps of one of the coaches.
The company has provided sew
eral flexible sticks with loop over
foot in diameter to each tower
Just outside the loop is a clothes
pin arrangement in which copies
of orders are fastened. The train
men hold their arms out as the
train passes without slowing up
noticeably and catch the looped
stick as a mail crane catches a
sack.
They Immediately detach the
order and throw the stick down
on the roadbed for the towerman
to retrieve. With a minute saved
by not stopping, the company
figures it can save sixty hours in
time yearly, to say nothing of the
wear and tear on rolling stock.

Old System Of Weights and
Measures Hampers Allies

Congressman Fiorello LaGuar-
dia of New York, former major in
the Air Service in charge of fliers
on the italian front, has thrown
interesting light upon the diff
culties faced by the United States
in coopera ling with its allies in
the world war. Major LaGuardia
has telegraphed the World Trade
Club of San Francisco, an organ
ization representing 500 leading
manufacturing merchants, pledg-
ing his support to the campaign
that the organization is now wag-
ing for the world wide adoption Of
the metric system of weights and
measures, now used by all the
world except the United States and
Britain.
In his wir~ Major LaGuardia
points out, that the world war
showed the imperative need of
Standardization Of weights and
measures. He advocates the metric
system.

les of the difficulty we experienced

loss of time, the confusion, owing
to different systems of wheights

were caused in this account than
by anything else"
The World Trade Club is re-
