either the dust or dip form it is the prac-
tical control. This material in the dust
form is applied by the pinch" method,
which consists in holding the fowl by
the legs or wings in one hand, while with
the other hand a small pinch OF the
chemical is placed on the head, one on the
neck, two on the back. one on the breast,
one on the tail, one near the vent, one on
either thigh. and one on the under side
Of each wing when spread. This ma
terial may also be applied in a shaker
consisting Of a tin can with nail holes
punched in the bottom, the chemical be-
ing mixed with road dust or -four. Where
applied in this way more or less dust
floats into the air, while It requires two
persons to dust the fowl. one holding the
feathers open while the other shakes in
the powder.
Control by Dipping.
The sodium fiuorid is best applied as
a dip in the Southern States and for
summer treatments in the north. Warm,
sunny weather is essential so that the
fowls will dry quickly. From three-quar-
ters to one ounce of commercial sodium
huorid, or two-thirds ounce Of chemically
pure sodium fiuorid, should be added to
each gallon of tepid water in tub. In
dipping the fowl it is best to hold the
wings back with the left hand and quickly
submerge the bird in the solution. leaving
the head out while the feathers are thor
oughly ruffled with the other hand so as
TO allow the solution to penetrate to the.
skin on different parts Of the bird The
head is then ducked once or twice, the
bird is lifted out Of the bath and allowed
to drain a few seconds and then is re-
leased. Only thirty to forty-five seconds
are required to dip a fowl, while the ex-
pense for material is less than one-half
cent a bird. The compound is very de-
structive to lice without producing any
i'll effects on the chickens.
Other controls for lice, such as appli-
alton of flowers of sulphur in the dust
form. destroy many Of the pests, although
l thorough and carefU application Of the
sulphur is required to secure complete de
struction. AS a rule, about six pounds of
his material are needed for 100 fowls, |
he sulphur costing about 10 cents a |
pound. Dipping the fowls in a solution |
made by dissolvng one ounce of laundry |
soap in a gallon of water will destroy all |
he lice present, but a second dipping /
lestroy the lice that have hatched from /
ggs which were not killed by the initial |
reatment. There is danger of producing !
olds by this method, unless the weather
s favorable.

MISSING IN ACTION"

All through those days of the
growing casualty lists one feature
Of the reports was the number
"missing in action"
Many Of these victims were
found to be in German prisons.
Some had been wounded. Some,
overcome by weight of numbers.
had been taken prisoners out
right. Many were more dead than
alive.
A lot of folks here at home have
been "nissing in action" without
having done anything at all.
Simply laid down their arms and
surrendered without firing a shot.
None of us can afford to be in
that list.
Every one of us can be on the
list Of "thOse present" instead Of
missing in action" If we do our
share in the Victory Libert- Loan.

upon the grass, said little, beyond re-

once removed his eyes from the girls

thought that she was actually of his
race, n runaway slave, or permit his
tongue to utter any words of equality.
Indeed j could not prevent my own
glance from being constantly attracted
in her direction also. Whatever had
been her mental strain and anguish,
the long hours of the night had in no
marked degree diminished her beauty.
To me she appeared even younger and
