Perfects Radio Device.

According to a leading Norwegian
newspaper, Engineer Hermod Peter
son has patented a device for the pro
duction of electrical current for radio
telegraphy.
The electricity is received by an ac-
cumulator, which releases it at certain
intervals. The system is sparkless,
and the sounds are clearer than in the
older inventions, says the Scientific
American. The clearness Of sound de-
ponds upon the regularity of the cur
rent, and with this system the current
is released with a mathematical ex-
actness.
The device has further advantages
in that it is cheaper, simpler and more
durable than those now in use. If the
claims for this invention prove well
founded, 1t is thought that it will mark
a distinct step in advance of what has
so far been accomplished in this line,
and hence its possibilities are creating
considerable interest in the radio
world.

EPSON SALTS FOR CHICKENS
Many Digestive Troubles May Be
Overcome by Purging or Cleans
ing the lntestines.

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 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 one-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 a dry mash of bran and shorts,
using the above proportions and aft
erwards moistening 1t with water.

IMPROVEMENT
ROAD BUILDING is BOOMING
Steady Increase in Federal Aid Busi-
ness in All Seetions--Expendi-
lures 100000, 900.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Since early in 1919 there has been
a 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 filing their
projects and receiving allotments. The
bodybuilding era is in full swing, and
1t 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 IA
of the states cash expenditures on the
rural roads and bridges of the United
States for the calendar year 1918
amounted to $2S6,09S. 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 $14,000,000, 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-
dented condition in practically all
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
| tenanee work, which was, however
| partially offset by a decrease in the
amount of new construction.

In fastening the draw-chain to a

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

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 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.

Labor WINNING?

The workers Of Winnipeg are conduct
ing the most remarkable strike Ameri ca
has seen. 1t has absolutely tied up the
city of Winnipeg. 1t has been entirely
without violence, due to the watchful-
ness of the labor men. It is a fight for
union recognition and for living wages.
Canada has allowed even more bold
and unprincipled profteering than we
have, and this strike is the first effective
protest against the results, of it in terms
of living conditions.
Winnipeg labor has splendid chance
of winning because labor there is at
last organized so as to work as unit
the way the employers do. But it is
unfortunate that the working people
in such enlightened countries as Canada
and the United States have to suffer
the rigors Of strike to get simple justice.
Perhaps they are partly to blame, be-
cause if they had organized long ago
and voted with the farmers they could
have captured the government and so
prevented the bad conditions against
which they now have to use direct
action.
