Marriages BY Mail.

A Washington dispatch to the
Jefferson City Democrat-Tribune
says:
Dan Cupid scored big hit today
at the War Department when it was
announced that marriage by mail
with soldiers over seas would be con-
sidered legal.
Sweethearts of soldiers. who are
serving overseas may contract mar
rage by mail. These marriages will
be sanctioned by the War Depart
ment and will be considered as legal
as though contracted and held by a
minister or justice of the peace of
this country.
This will tend to keep many of the
soldiers from marrying girls in Eu-
rope as they may now marry their
home sweethearts without making
the trip across the ocean.

is a custom which is said by some to
go back to the eating of cakes in
honor of Easter, the goddess OF light,
among the pagan Saxons; by others
it is traced even further back to a
very ancient Egyptian CUSTOM How
ever that may be, it was enthusiastic
cally embraced by the English peo-
pie. At Chelsea there were two noted
bun houses, each claiming to have
been patronized by the king, to which
the people flocked for miles around on
Good Friday to stand under a sort
of porch or shed and eat of the ia
nous buns. The custom of eating hot
cross buns on Good Friday has in re-
cent years become almost universal in
this country. In the village of Sussex,
in England, the playing of marbles is
considered Good Friday duty by
young and old, although just what con-
nection it has with the meaning of the
day is lost in the folklore Of the past.

BRINGS MESSAGE Of Hone.

Let US each catch a fresh vision of
thee, o Christ! We each need it.
Our upward way has been beset by
fears and many obstacles. Some of
us need to go with thee to the mount
called Calvary, and there have our
hearts made tender and soft again;
have the bitterness taken away. Some
of us need to walk out on the road
to Emmaus, till one shall come and
walk with us, and speak to us, till
our hearts shall burn within u.s. and
we be purged and heartened to do thy
will. Some need to stand with the
men of Israel Of old on Mount Olivet,
and gaze after our ascending Lord,
till we hear the angelic voices say,
"Why stand We thus gazing? The
same Jesus shall return again, even
as We see him go;" till the promise
of our coming Lord shall clear all
shadows from our lives, and we live
in the glory that shall be. forgetful
of the present and its ills. Whatso-
ever our need, may 1t be supplied,

lowed to range with the hen obtains
goes very largely to keep the heat Of
the body and the chicks do not make
as good growth as they otherwise
would.
Chick losses of this nature can be
largely prevented by shutting the hen
in coop. Any style of coop which
Is dry, ventilated, and can be closed
at night to protect the brood against
cats, rats and other animals, and which
while combining the hen, will allow the
chicks to pass in and out freely after
they are few days old, will be salts
factory. The hen should be confined
until the chicks are weaned, though a
small yard may be attached to the
COOP if desired, to allow the hen to
exercise. The fence can be raised
from the ground far enough to allow
the chicks to go in and out, but not
high enough for the hen to escape. BY
using coop the chicks can find shell
ter and warmth under the hen at any
time, and the weaklings after a few
days may develop into strong, healthy
chicks.
Where chicks are raised with hens,
they are likely to become infested with
lice. If the lice get very numerous.
they greatly retard the chicks growth
and may even cause their death. The
hen should be powdered thoroughly
with some good insect powder before
she is put in the coop with the chicks
and at intervals of several days or a
week thereafter. The baby chicks
should be examined for lice, particu-
larly on the head, under the wings and
about the vent. If any are found, a
little grease, such as lard. should be
rubbed on those places. Apply grease
moderately, as too much will injure
the chicks. The chicks should be ex-
amined frequently and the treatment
repeated if lice are found on them.

Hens will lay in an inclosed nest
rather than in an open nest.
Feed the growing pullets well and
keep them coming. 1t pays.
The Leghorns and other egg breeds
require less housing space and less
feed.
Plan to keep all thrifty pullets and
vigorous, healthy year-old hens for
egg production.
The returns from poultry on the
farm, for capital invested, are prob
ably larger than the returns from any
other farm enterprise.
1t should be remembered that filthy
henhouses are ideal places for the
breeding of many kinds of insect
pests.
There should be at least one nest
for each four or five hens, and they
should be kept clean and well supplied
with nest material.
1t is almost impossible to rear tur-
keys satisfactorily in thickly settled
community or where they cannot have
free range for they do not do well
when confined In yards.

for the great war are to be, says "a
Londoner" in Evening Standard.
One who has seen the design prac-
tically decided upon describes it
thus: There is broad center Of
bright orange color, and on each side
from the center outward are thin
strips of white, black and royal blue
in that order. 1t is said that the eff

other medal ribbon, and looks well on
