its needs by laborng one-fourth Of the twenty

of the human race at this stage Of its evolution
The fat that man shall earn his bread bv the

rists Our needs are greater than those of prim-
tive man and are multiplying; and the one
thing that has enabled the race to shorten It's

quite conceivable that this will be done with

POULTRY PROSPECTS.

Professor James E. Rice, one of the best
posted authorities on the poultry industry, says
the coming two three years going to be
good ones for the poultry industry. With one
exception, all conditions indicate that the pres
'ent high prices for eggs and poultry are going
TO continue, while the cost of feed will decline
giving the poultryrnan higher net returns from
his flock.
The one dark spot ON the poultry horizon, ac-
.corling to Professor Rice, is the importation of
Chinese eggs. Already the big Chicago pack
ers have their agents in China buying eggs in
large quantities at prices which would put the
American poultry industry out Of business.
These eggs will be sold in competition with
American eggs in all the large cities, unless the
only remedy is made effective protective
tariff. Ii the poultry industry is to be saved
from a ruinous competition, farmers and poultry
keepers everywhere must demand tariff pro
lection.

One of the greatest needs brought about by
the war with Germany has been that Of proper
rank for army nurses. Inability 10 maintain
discipline in the hospitals and the fact that
they were on account Of the lack Of rank, forced
to accept more than unpleasant living condi-
tons are some Of the reasons given This con-
dition will be remedied if a bill introduced by
Representative Hernandez, Of New MEXICO, be-
comes law Under the Hernandez bill all mem
bers Of the army nurse corps would have rank
divided as follows: The superintendent, rank
Of MAJOR the assistant superintendents director,
and assistant directors, rank Of captain; chief
nurses, rank Of first lieutenant and nurses the
rank Of second lieutenant. These ranks would
give the nurses authority in and about military
hospitals as regards medical and sanitary mat
tiers and all other work within the line Of their
professional duties, next after medical officers
Of the army. The insignia Of rank would be the
same as that Of the army.
