men. She was reduced to a second
rate power.
Frederick William sent for his wife,
Queen Louise. In the hope that her
wit and beauty might induce Napoleon
to recede somewhat from these hard
terms. But she was unsuccessful and
on July 8 the treaty between Prussia
and France was signed.
Hard as the conditions imposed on
Prussia were Napoleon had been too
lenient; for he left the bandit nation

Says Lord Rosebery: "It is strange
indeed to observe how heartily, as If
by foreboding, he hates Prussia"
Not strange at all, for his keen mind
In the retirement of st. Helena saw
even more clearly than at Tilslt the
danger to the world of PrussianIsm
under the lead of the robber barons
of Zollern.
Prussia Immediately after the treaty
of Tilsit began to circumvent the con-
ditions with regard to her army by
instituting short terms of enlistment
so arranged as to amount to universal
military service, and to prepare the
way for her future aggrandizement
One hundred and seven years from
the time she seemed utterly crushed
she attempted world empire-and
nearly "got away with IT."
By the treaty of Tilsit Gar Alexan-
der agreed that II England did not
assent to the peace he should declare
war against her. II Sweden objected
he was to send an army into that
country.

The fall OF Robespierre In 1884 in
troduced more moderate and con-
ciliatory spirit into the councils of re-
publican FRI nee, while at the same
time the victorious campaigns Of the
French armies cooled the ardor with
which the hostile princes who sur
rounded the young republic had been
prosecuting the war. The smaller Ger
man princes were especially desirous
Of bringing such ruinous war to an
| end. At diet of the empire 1t was
declared that Germany had no inten-
tion Of interfering with the domestic
affairs Of France and negotiations
looking to a satisfactory peace should
be begun. Before this France had,
since the revolution and the execution
of the king. been an outlaw among Eu-
ropean nations. In Italy the grand
duke of Tuscany was already negotiat-
ing with France for q peace, being the
first of the European rulers to recog-
nize the French republic. Austria and
England. however, declared that the
war must go on. But Austria had al
most ceased fighting and the emperor
retired to Vienna In encouragement.
The republican armies held Belgium
and the left bank Of the Rhine and had
even made conQuests beyond that
river.
Opened Stronaholds to French Forces.
The prince of Orange fed to Eng
land and the Dutch opened their
strcngholds to the French forces. Sa-
voy and Nice were in the hands Of
France. and the Austrians in Piedmont
were held In check by Bonaparte-
whose military genius was now begin
ming to be universally recognized and
who had been promoted to be briga-
dier general.
Spain, which had suffered many re-
verses. many of her cities being in
French hands, was only kept In the
coalition by the desire of the king to
safeguard the children of Louis XVI
and the pressure of the British. Prus-
sia was already negotiating with

ricatcs business IL does, for a
good, we'll cooked meal, which is
not too rich, is a stimulant as we'll
as supplier OF energy.
A woman's task Of preparing q
meal is not only TO provide energy
and brain power, but also inspira-
ton. A clean, well set table, laden
with a well ordered, we'll cooked
meal is an inspiration 10 the heart
Of any man. The man who has
pariaken Of such a meal can go
forth 10 his work with ambition
retrenched, and determination TO
win, or he can know the joys OF the
evening paper with satisfied con-
temptation Of the morrow.
Among the many accounts which
women are giving TO the world Of
things, that used 10 be cherished in
secret, hoping that they may
benefit their struggling sisters, Is
the account Of q woman who had
sensual husband. He was Of the
world worldly, she was very
spiritual type Of woman. She was
much concerned about the state OF
affairs. and considered the matter
seriously. viewing IL from all sides.
She finally thought that the best
way she could help her husband
was 10 begin with their menus.
She gradually eliminated the rich,
heavy. coarse meals, and substitute
ed plain, wholesome, nutritious
food. dainty. appetizing desserts, and
simple drinks. In five years as she
told the story her husband had be
come different kind Of a man.
She, through her attractive table,
had helped him develop such an
aesthetic taste that the rich and
sensual foods as we'll as the old
life. were actually repellant 10 him.
The cooking Of food is not a men,
ial task, but the working out Of an
ert and the perfecting OF a science,
and hence II deserves the best
thought that we can give il. Every
woman can make her kitchen both
a studio and a laboratory, and her
handiwork a specimen OF science
and art Someone said, "A thing OF
beauty Is a joy forever" A we'll
cooked meal is a work OF art, and
may have an effect that will last
forever.

the Thanksgiving turkey held. and
how proud you felt TO hold the
door open for the cook TO carry that
turkey into the dining room. With
your rhild's true sense OF value you
knew, even though you could not
put IL into words, that your mother

Old Mr.. Squirrel had heard every
word OF the conversation. and ran
about his porch in a furious wrath.
He was angry for two reasons FIRST.
because Mr.. Rabbit had bought his

THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD
COOKING
Good Cookery Is an Inspiration
As Man Eats so He Is

Owen Meredith told part OF a
great truth about mans need OF
woman, and the important part she
has done for centuries, in the fol-
lowing verses:
I'VE may live without poetry,
music and art,
We may live without conscience,
and live without heart
We may live without friends, we
may live without books,
But civilized men cannot live
without cooks.
lie may live without learning 49,
what is learning but grieving9
He may live without hope-what
is hope but deceiving9
He may live without love-what
is passion but pining9
But where is the man who can
live without dining?"
The planning and preparing OF
three meals a day is a task Of i'm
portance. Whether the wife pre-
pares them herself, or has someone
else prepare them, the RESPONSE
bility is hers. She must see that
the food which her family eats has
sufficient food value, and is pala-
table.
The culinary art is the most inn
portant Of all the arts, because it -
the art which deals with the energy
supply.
Man is what he eats. n he has
good substantial food supply he
can do a good DAYS work. II he is
poorly fed he cannot work so well.
Physicians have made examina-
tions Of children in schools and
found that they were not eating the
right kind OF food. They were not
the children Of poor parents either.
Some Of them came from homes
where bountiful tables were spread,
but the food they ate did not nourish
them. When a certain diet was pre-
scribed and followed nearly every
child improved in its school work.
Some OF them who had been apa-
thetic showed new interest in their
work, and an actual desire TO study
and learn.
Good cooking is the foundation OF
good digestion. Good digestion is
the first essential for the man who
has brain work TO do. A mans
thoughts will be clear and concise,
or clogged and befuddled, just as
his food agrees or disagrees with
him.

AGRICULTURAL LETTERS


To members of the Agricultural
Club raising poultry:
In my last letter you were given
instructions in the proper feeding
of your chicks. II is also necessary
TO keep them free from disease.
Disease of Chicks
The baby chicks should be care
fully watched during the first three
or four weeks. After they have
reached the age of three weeks,
most Of their troubles are over.
Most diseases and deaths are due
TO one or more Of the following
causes:
4. Improper incubation, such as
the hen leaving the nest and the
eggs becoming chilled.
?. General weakness.
3. Chilling.
4. Dampness.
5. Digestive troubles.
6. Diarrhoea.
7. Gapes.
g. Lice.
General weakness or lack Of vi
tally is the main cause of chicks
dying. This weakness may be due
TO a lack Of vitality in the parent
stock, improper keeping Of eggs or
improper incubation.
Over heating, chilling, dampness
and keeping in close, impure air all
tend to weaken the chick and cause
diarrhoea. This diarrhOea should
not become confused with the con-
tagious form known as bacillarS
white diarrhOea. In either case
prevention is far better than cure.
EPSON salts, given at the rate Of
one teaspoonful dissolved in water
per six or eight chicks and per-
manganate of potash added to the
drinking water until it is a clear
wine color, are among the best pre-
Ventatives. Get at the cause Of the
diarrhoea and remedy the cause
rather than try to treat the dis
eased chicks.
The cape worms attach them
selves to the windpipe and cause
the chick to choke or breathe
rather hard. These worms come
from the soil and the problem of
getting rid of them is a matter OF
sanitary soil. The best way is to
move the chicks on new, clean
land each season. The old and in
tested land should be covered with
Stacked lime, plowed and planted to
a crop. The whole chick disease
problem thins down to one word
sanitation, which means prevention.
I hope you will be very careful
and keep the yards and coops clean
in order that you may not be han
dicapped in your work. If at any
time you are troubled with any Of
the above diseases, let me know
Also make a careful note in your
record book of any trouble you may
have.
Yours very truly,
ROBERT F. SPENCE,
County Agent,
Berea, Ky.
