Further Display of Impotence.
 Just at the edge of the little French city of St. Mihiel, held by the Ger mans for four years and retaken by the American troops late last summer. Is German cemetery that stands as an insult to the French people. Here are buried a large number of German officers. In this cemetery the German government erected magnificent marble shaft commemorating the valor of these German officers, and over the graves stand elaborate marble and granite monuments erected to the memory of these German officers. These monuments have been erected on what has always been French soil, and they stand there as one of the greatest pieces of impudence commit ted by the German nation in this war.
 This is but another of the many, many incidents that add to the seri- ousness of the crimes committed by the Roche. and for which he should pay.
 A very considerable portion of the soil of Belgium and northern France is today given over to the graves of soldiers of the allies, and these sol dier boys would not be dead. these graves would not be there, millions of homes would not today be in mourn ing. had not selfish people started a war for the purposes of conquest and loot; war conducted with all the wantonness and cruelty of savages. Why should they not pay. and pay, and pay, until they find that an un- holy war, such as they waged. is the most unprofitable business in which man can engage?

the last great sacrifice was started by Germany only to gratify the selfish greed of people who had been taught that might Is right.
 I realized the tragic interest of America in these graves as I walked over the hilltop at Guillimont farm, near the village of Bony. and found there two large cemeteries in which American dead lie buried. I realized it anew as Gen. Henry Rawlinson, commanding the Fourth British army, recounted to me the incidents of that battle in which American troops made the first break in the Hindenburg line. and when he told me of the wonderful gallantry of those American boys, the most gallant troops that ever fought on battlefield"

 An American regiment, to which I had belonged some years ago, and In which were enrolled many personal friends, had fought on that field. As I walked beside the long rows of wooden crosses, and knew that some of them marked the resting places of my friends, I felt, as any other Ameri- can would have felt under the same conditions. that Germany must pay in order that Germany should learn that might is not right.
 I am sure that every father, every mother, every brother, every sister, every relative and friend of those American boys who are buried on Flu ropean battletields will feel that Ger many must pay and pay heavily for the desolation she has caused through out the world.
 There Is on the Somme battlefelds, not far from what once was the beau tiful little city of Peronne. soldiers' cemetery in which British troops are buried. On each little wooden cross had been painted the name of the sol dier buried beneath it. as well as the letter of his company and the number of his battalion. In the onrush of the Huns last March this cemetery was taken. and the wanton cruelty of the Roche Is nowise better illustrated than by the fact that he went through that cemetery and painted out the names of these British dead.

Strict Rule for Employees IN Factories
Where Work Is Done
on Gold.

Clothes of a light color are not IA
vorites where work is done on gold.
In fact, in many such factories a dark
suit Of clothes is absolutely demand
ed. and even a light waistcoat may
lose man a job. The reason for this
is that any stray grains OF gold that
may get on the clothing can easily be
caught on a dark suit, while they
might get away from the establishment
II light clothes were worn.
That such a rule was enforced
among gold workers one man learned
recently when a Bohemian gold beat
er applied to him for a helping hand
The Bohemian said that he had not
been in this country long, that he had
had a chance to obtain good job at
his trade, but that the place had been
refused him because he turned up
with light suit and waistcoat on,
and they were the only clothes he
had.
The man whom he approached was
struck by the story and offered to help
him out if it proved true. He went to
factory with him and found out that
the man could have the job If he pre-
scented himself within an hour clad in
the proper clothes. So suit of de-
sired kind was obtained for him and
sure enough he got the job.
you may think this is strange" said
the foreman Of the factory, but it
means. quite lot to us. Every mans
clothing is carefully examined when he
leaves the place at night and the gold
Is brushed off whenever we see any
on his clothing. 1t is impossible to
hide even tiny grains on dark back
ground, but in the case of a mixed or
a light suit we might easily lose quite
an amount Of gold, and gold isn't any
thing you want to lose even in small
quantities"

TEACHING THE
CHICKS TO BOOST

Where large number of chicks are
being raised in one brooder house diff
hculty is often experienced in prevent
ing the birds from piling up at night
after the heat is removed, and causing
serious losses, says r. S. TOwnsIey of
the University Of Missouri college of
agriculture. To prevent this over
crowding the birds should be taught
to roOst as early as possible. If roosts
are made out Of / by 3-inch strips
placed IL to Is inches from the floor,
the birds can easily be taught to 20 to
roost. If the chicks do not go up on the
rOost Of their own accord they should
be gently placed on the roosts after
dark for one or two nights until they
get the roosting habit.
r Look Out for Mites.-This season Of
the year a constant lookout should be
kept by all poultry keepers for mites
in the houses and coops. A mite Is very
small and difficult to see unless spe-
cial search is made. They appear as mi
mute, gray or reddish specks. When
present in large numbers, the mites
have the appearance of dust. Mites re-
produce very rapidly and are a great
source Of annoyance to the hens when
present in large numbers. The mites
live by sucking blood from the hens
A severe attack Of mites will cause the
hens to lose flesh and stop laying, and
will Oftentimes produce death. To get
rid of mites the houses must be care
fully cleaned and then painted or
sprayed with repellent material. A
heavy spraying with coal oil followed
i'll two or three days by giving the
roOsts and surrounding boards a thor
ough painting with crude oil will clean
up the mites and keep the houses free
for several months. This treatment
should be applied twice yearly to all
poultry houses as a precautionary
measure against mites.

Quaint Remedies Of Past
Produced From Weeds Now
Most Common in the Field

In old-time Philadelphia. says the
Philadelphia Ledger, some quaint rem
edles were used.
Thus we find pokeberries used to
make plaster for cancer. Grapevine
sap was used for hair tonic.
To produce a sweat, tea was made
from magnolia leaves. The berry Of
this plant was supposed to cure con-
sumption.
For toothache the bayberry root
was an accepted remedy. Berries Of
the cedar tree were supposed to stiffen
the spine. A purge was made of alder
buds or Of elderberries.
GOldenrOd, the MULLEN plant and
even the lowly burdock were laid un-
der tribute for various maladies. It is
hard to find a common weed that was
rejected by the eighteenth century
pharmacopoeia.
The grandmother of all the Philadel-
phla quacks was a beldame by the
name Of Sibylla Masters, who 200 years
s.ag, made fortune by the patent and
aie Of aTuscarora rice" for consump-
