Proposed Law Provides
for SIS, 600, 600 for Care
of Drug Habit Patients

Measures to combat the increasing
number Of drug addicts following up
national prohibition have been intro.
duced in the senate by Senator France
of Maryland, chairman Of the senate
committee on public health, at the re.
quest Of the federal public health
service. He says the United States
leads in per capita use Of opium. The
bill would provide $5,000,OO0 for the
care of the drug-habit patients.
Senator France declared there are
about 100000 drug addicts in the
United States, $4,000 of them in New
York, and about 10000 in Chicago.
The drug habit is more prevalent
where prohibition has been in effect
longest, Kansas holding the record for
he largest number of addicts accord
ing to population, Senator France de-
clared.
'"The Harrison act never has been
rightly enforced because that would
have created a desperate situation in
the absence of adequate hospital facili-
ties for the treatment Of those addict
ed to habit-forming drugs, particular
ly opium. heroin and cocaine" said
Senator France.

Men Bel|hops and Walters
Get More Tips Than Women,
Labor Statistics Reveal

Hotel guests pay far larger tips to
bellhops and walters than to chamber
maids, according to estimates of man
ayers Of 1853 hotels reported in the Ia
Dor review Of the department of labor.
The figures show that maids receive
average tips of only from II to SO
cents day, as compared with $1.27 to
$3.7S for bellmen and from $1.16 to
$3.67 for walters.
The difference makes the real in
come Of maids less than bellmen, al
though the average daily rate Of wages
is $1.29 for the maid and So cents for
the bellboy.
The report shows that men working
in hotels and restaurants outnumber
women in occupations usually regard
ed as women's work. OF the 10000
employees counted in those vocations,
$4,000 are men. OF the cooks 8 per
cent are women, of the dishwashers,
40 per cent are women, and of the
kitchen help, 81 per ceLt are women.
A striking contrast between the
wages paid men and women in the
same occupation is shown by the re-
port. which is said to be the first ever
prepared on a nationwide scale for
tie hotel business. Thus, "a men
cooks are paid $40 day. while only
one woman receives as much as Sc
day. The largest group of men clean.
ers receives 81 a day. women, 81.

PROFIT FROM
RAISING POULTRY

There Is considerable profit in poul.
try at the present time. The matter
OF profit in poultry keeping is thing
which each person must solve for him
self. so much depends upon the keeper.
Poultry raising is not easy work; 1t
requires lots of time and patience.
Where stock is kept and poultry has
free range, a hen may be kept for a
year on four to six pecks of corn or
its equivalent. No one thinking of
going into this business can figure on
profit above 81 hen, and that is
much too large if the keeper is mex
perienced.
If the hens are given warm. clean.
dry quarters and a variety of grain
green vegetable food of some kind
with plenty Of ground oyster shells
and once or twice week little
ground bone and meat meal, they will
keep in good thrifty condition. Early
Matched pullets will usually commence
to lay about the middle Of January.
One and two-year-old hens will seldom
lay when the weather is very cold.
A practical poultryman says:
Cleanliness, variety Of grain. regu-
larity Of feeding, pure clean water
given twice day, and a well-littered
shed for exercise, must be provided.
l feed mixed grain, wheat, corn and
oats in the morning and evening; the
grain Is sown over the cut straw In
the feeding room. At noon scalded
fne-cut clover hay mixed with wheat
bran and q little oil meal is fed. On
this food the hens lay fairly well. even
in cold weather. / raise most all of
my feed and have an abundance Of
grass and clover pasture in summer.
and rye and wheat pasture in winter.
When snow covers the ground, feed
cabbage leaves, beets ap1 turnips, cut
fine and mixed with bran. There is
not much money in the business If
most Of the grain has to be bought and
hired help employed"

Cancer Kills One in Ten
Over Forty; Durable, Federal
Health Service Declares

The federal health service, re-en
forcing repeated advice from state
health boards and the American so
ciety for the Control of Cancer, mas
issued a cancer circular for public dis
tribution. 1t declares one out OF every
ten persons over forty dies of cancer.
While the great war cost the Unlteo
States about $4,000 lives, cancer IN
the same two years claimed 1SO,OVo
people in this country.
The government agency warns that
cancer is unquestionably increasing
throughout the world, although it is
durable if treated early.
"At the beginning cancer Is usually
painless and difficult to detect, the
new bulletin points out. "At its first
small growth 1t can be safely and
easily removed by competent sur
ge0n. Cancer Is not constitutional
or blood disease, is not contagious,
and Is, practically speaking, not her
editary. Persistent abnormal dis
charge or bleeding is suspicious. Sores,
cracks, decorations. Jumps and ulcers
which do not heal and warts, moles or
birthmarks which change in size. color
or appearance, may turn into cancer
unless treated and cured. Persistent
indigestion in middle life, with loss of
weight and change of color, or with
pain, vomiting or diarrhea, calls for
~
vice as to the possibility of internal
cancer. A doctor who treats a Sus-
picious symptom without making a
thorough examination does not know
his business"
The bulletin emphasizes that no
medicine will cure cancer and thai
early diagnosis is all-important.

A plentiful supply Of clean, fresh
water must always be available to the
hens. The fowls drink freely, espe-
cially when laying heavily, and should
not be stinted Of such a necessary and
cheap material as water. The water
pan or dish should be kept clean. If
1t is not washed out frequently u

to happen. It is well to keep the
water pan outside the house and in

It is best that the pan be left In the

a foot above the floor so that the hens

How to Handle the Hens.
The production of eggs in winter Is
materially influenced by the methods
of feeding. housing and handling the
poultry. To get the greatest egg pro-
duction in the early fall and winter, it
is essential to populate the house with
well-matured bullets which were
Matched in March or April. All the
grain should be fed in deep litter on
the floor so that the hens must exer-
else to get their food. The mash may
be fed either wet or dry, and should
be so regulated that the fowls will re-
ceive about equal parts of mash and
scratch grains. It is necessary to give
the fowls plenty to eat, but the birds
should always be eager for each feed.
In cold weather feed about one-thirC
of the scratch grains in the morning
and two-thirds at night. in which way
the hens are forced to exercise more
than if they are given all the grain
they desire at the morning meal.
Scratch grain. mash or ground grains,
meat meal. green feed. grit and oyster
shells should be supplied to the flock.
Good Scratch Mixtures.
Good scratch mixtures may be made
Of equal parts by weight of cracked
corn. wheat and oats, or of two parts

wheat and oats. II wheat is expensive

Worlds Largest Building Is a Tomb.
Now that the war is over, folks pre-
dict that there will be big boom in
building. Modern architects have done
wonders, as every one who has seen
the Woolworth building in New York
or the Esffel tower in Paris will admit,
but human labor has not yet accom-
plished anything which will rival the
ancient pyramids of Egypt.
The priests of Memphis informed
Herodotus that the Great Pyramid was
built about 900 years before Christ
Cheops, king of Egypt, had 100000
men employed 20 years in the building
of it, and laborers in those days didn't
work union hours, either. The tomb OF
Cheops was built in room beneath
the bottom of the pyramid.
