EPSON SALTS FOR CHICKENS
Many Digestive Troubles May &c
Overcome by Purging or Cleans
ing the Intestines-

A great many chickens suffer from
indigestion or digestive troubles,
which may be due TO improper feeding
or some method Of management. 1t
has been found that many of these
conditions may be overcome by purg-
ing or cleansing the intestines through
some means of a laxative One of the
cheapest and easiest handled laXa-
tives is epson salts. which can be pur-
chased at any drug store. For ma
ture fowls the dosage is le-half tea
spoonful per bird though if the case
is minor, one-third teaspoOnful may
be sufficient. An easy and effective
way of administering this is to mix it
with dry mash of bran and shorts,
using the above proportions and aft
erwards mOistening it with water.

ROAD BUILDING IS BOOMING
Steady Increase In Federal Aid Bust
ness In All Sections-EKpsadt-
lures $500, 900, 900.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Since early in 1919 there has been
q steady increase each month in the
federal aid business in the bureau Of
public roads OF the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. States in all
sections OF the country are fling their
projects and receiving aIlOtments. The
bodybuilding era is in full swing, and
It would seem that the end is not yet.
All indications point to greater rec
ords in the months Immediately to
come.
Based on complete reports from a
Of the states cash expenditures on the
rural roads and bridges Of the United
States for the calendar year 1918
amounted to $2S6, O98, 1913. To this
should be added the value Of statute
and convict labor, which cannot be
fixed with any great degree OF &C
curacy but probably amounted to not
less than S14,000,O 600, thus making the
grand total expenditures for the year
$500, 100000. This total is made up OF
the actual expenditures for such items
as labor, materials, supervision and
administration directly connected
with the construction, Improvement
and upkeep of public roads and
bridges outside the limits OF incorpo-
rated towns and cities, and does not
include any item for sinking-fund pay
ments or redemption and interest on
road and bridge bonds.
The year 1913 offered an unprece-
denied condition in practically ali
lines of highway work. There was
not only a tremendous increase and
expansion in the amount OF heavy
truck traffic on public roads and an
unprecedented shortage in regard to
road materials, labor and ready funds,
but also a decided increase in main
tenance work, which was, however,
partially offset by a decrease in the
amount of new construction.

POLLOCK LIFTS THE BEER LID
Federal Judge Restraints Authorities
at ST. Louis From Enforcing the
Wartime Prohibition Law.

ST. Louis.-Judge John c. Pollock
in the federal court here granted
temporary injunction restraining Dis
trict Attorney Walter Hensley and
the collector of internal revenue from
interfering with brewers in the manu-
facture and sale of beer.
Judge Pollock declared he was not

In effect, Judge Pollock sanctioned
the lifting of the lid on beer in St
Louis. The order is made operative
at once.
Judge Pollock in his order enjcins
Collector Moore from refusing to is

or malt liquor containing one half of
1 per cent or more of alcohol, pro-
Vided the taxes are rendered and paid.

In connection with the splitlog type
Of drag. In this case only two OF the
cross braces have their ends fitted into
auger holes like rungs.
In fastening the draw-chain to
sawed-lumber drag, it is usually advis-
able TO run both ends of the chain
through holes in the front runner or
else make the connections by means
of eye or hook bolts, as shown. The
reason for this is that the sawed cross
braces are seldom sufficiently strong
to Withstand the pull Of the chain

quentIy done when round timber cross
pieces are used. If straight-grained
pieces are used for the crosspieces,
however, there is no apparent reason
why one end of the chain might not be
connected by looping it around the 231k-

WOMEN NEED SWaMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain IN the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be Just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

NOTE ON JENKINS
CASE IS RECEIVED
Refusal to Release American
Consular Agent Indicated
In Carranza's Reply.
BASED ON TRUMPET UP CHARGE
Mexican Officials Claim American
Agent Assisted Rebels, in Reply
to Sharp Note from U. S.

Washington.-The answer of the
Mexican government to the sharp
note demanding the immediate re-
lease Of William o. Jenkins, Amer
lean consular agent at Puebla, has
been delivered to the State Depart
ment
A long dispatch bearing on the Jen-
kins's case, has been received at the
Mexican embassy and was decided
for presentation to the government
While authoritative information as
to the attitude of the Mexican govern
ment was lacking, all indications here
pointed to a technical refusal to or
der the release of Jenkins.
Lansing to Propose Break.
What the administration will do in
the event that Carranza fIouts the
United States has not been determin-
ed. 1t is known, however, that Sec
rotary Lansing will urge the Presi-
dent to sever diplomatic relations at
once and to intervene primarily for
the rescue Of Jenkins.
In taking this stand for aggressive
action in dealing with Carranza, Mr..
Lansing has the support of several
other members of the cabinet, all of
whom are prepared to press Mr.. Viii
son to adopt the course proposed.
If it becomes necessary to intervene
for the rescue of Jenkins, it is prob
able and there will be a combined
military and naval operation. The
navy would take Vera Cruz again and
troops would be landed there and
transported over to Puebla, where
Jenkins is incarcerated At the same
time the military would seize the
Mexican railroads at the border and
proceed southwark to PuebIa.
May End Menace Forever.
In considering the plans the admin
istration is mindful of the fact that
ii the United States intervenes again,
whatever the immediate purpose, it
will be necessary to stay in Mexico
until Mexico is pacified and the me-
mace to America ended forever.
Since the arrest of Jenkins, it was
learned. additional charges against the
American official have been formu-
lated, based upon alleged evidence
that he actively assisted persons in
Tebelling against the Carranza gov
eminent. Payment of a large sum of
money to the rebels which was used
by them to purchase munitions and
acting in collision with rebel leaders
are said to be specific counts" in
the new indictments.

CURE FOR POULTRY DISEASES
Use of Vaccine Has Considerable
Value in Correcting Ailments,
Says Professor Lewis.

Prof. Harry R. Lewis of New Jersey
college before a recent meeting at the
Connecticut station said the use Of
vaccine in the cure Of poultry dis
eases has considerable value. Profess
sor Lewis told of trying out a vaccine
on hens afflicted with chicken pox and
rOup and the successful results. He
believes that other diseases may be
treated by the vaccine plan. The next
step at the New Jersey station will
be an effort to immunize pullets
against chicken pox or roup by vac
cinating while young and before they
have been exposed to the disease.
