The Bible, Agent
Of Civilization
AS Powerful as Ever in
Uplift Of Humanity.

More and more it is realized that
the Bible is the only book in the world
which can be applied to all classes,
all conditions and all times. Written
and compiled thousands of years ago,
when the world was in it's infancy
and when humanity a cropping its
way out of the darkness into the light.
It's wonderful images, its inspiring
rories and its uplifting spirituality
make 1t as valuable an agent of civili-
zation and as powerful n factor in the
nplift of humanity as ever it was. In
fact, the Bible is found to be the best
known guide for social progress, for
political construction and for indus
trial peace. It's usefulness does not
stop there. 1t is now employed to teach
the lessons Of patriotism and to in
culcate the spirit of Americanism.-

Sleighs Used in Land Of
No SnoW-They Are Drawn
BY the Slow, Clumsy Ok

The Island of Madeira, which lies
off the west coast Of Morocco, natural
ly never sees any snow. Nevertheless,
sleighs are to be found there, and in
place Of the swift and graceful rein
deer they are drawn by the slow, clum-
sy ox.
The streets of Madeira are paved
with smooth round stones, and over
these stones the me of the
sleighs travel QUITE freely. In fact,
the motion Of the sleigh is much
smoother than would be that of a
wheeled vehicle, because the runners
readily pass over small ~depressions in
the pavement without jar.
The passenger sleigh has upholstered
seats and figured curtains to protect
the occupants from the weather as well
as from the gaze of the curious. The
body is mounted on springs and it is
said that riding in one of these print
tive vehicles is very pleasant, although
rather slow.

WILL VIEW ALL BEAUTIES
French Claim Right to Feast Eyes on
Charmers From All Z
Land

Paris.-"Men have the inalienabIe
right TO feast their eyes upon the femi-
nine beauties Of all nations"
Such was the reply Of the fashion
able Epatant club to the protest
against the display OF English prize
beauties at the Marigny theater, when
French women rose in indignation and
cried:
Aren't there enough beautiful wom-
en- in France?"
"What object is there In beauty un-
less 1t Is destined to f%ascinate menr"
inquired Maurice de Kobra, speaking
on behalf of the club. From the IT,
Hest times n man has eve admitted
that it is his duty to find his mate
within his own country's borders. The
b%oulevardiers Of Paris and all Francs
emphatically claim the right to well
come the beauties of all nations"

BEST LITTER FOR
POULTRY HOUSE

Litter for the poultry house floor is
not only necessary in plentiful quanti-
ties, but it should also be of satisfac-
tory quality. The two main points are
to have a material that will not break
up into cEaT or powder too quickly,
n which will not be inclined to alb
sorb moisture. Litter that breaks up
quickly makes the house overly dusty
and often cause disease Of the nose
or throat or sore eyes by fine particles
being thrown into the hens eyes when
scratching. Litter that absorbs mois-
ture quickly is especially bad in the
winter months, when sunshine is
scarce and has little drying power.
Damp or filthy litter often makes a
good breeding place for disease germs.
Litter should always be a material that
is digestible IL eaten by the hens, for
q certain amount is invariably con-
Sumed.
Wheat or rye straw is one Of the best
materials for the litter, as it is tough
and lasts well, although at the same
tiiiS iShI ShouSh III NCIShl tIldl llt
hens "a easily kick it around. These
strawS also have the desirable quality
Of being slow to absorb moisture. Dat
straw does not make quite such good
litter. as 1t becomes damp too quickly.
Alfalfa or clover hay does not make
good litter, as it is heavy, powders
quickly and in damp weather absorbs
moisture readily, becoming soggy even
from the damp air in the house. OF
course, this is somewhat Offset by the
fact that the chickens will eat off the
leaves of the hay, which is good for
them.
For the floor of brooders or colony
coops, shortcut hay is T. Of the best
materials that can be used when cut
in two or three-inch lengths and spread
on the floor to the depth of about an
inch. Leaves of various kinds (such
as fall from the trees in the autumn)
can be stored and used for litter.

TO Heat House to rs Dep.

II Per Cent Fuel Increase

Every possible measure should be

says Prof. A. G. Willard Of the depart.
ment Of heating and ventilation Of the
University Of Illinois. at is never too
late TO save coal and every user of this
fuel should observe the following sug-
gestions which are given as Il result
of long Investigations conducted at the
university on how TO get the most heat
from the least amount Of coal:
Heating surfaces should be kept
clean and free from SCOT and ash ac-
cumulations and the entire ash pit
should be cleaned daily.
Crates should be true and not
warped, should move easily and should
have no broken places for coal to drop
through. Unburned or partly burned
coal should not appear in the ashes at
any time.
"The fuel pot should be kept full,
with fire surface at the level Of fire
door; let ashes accumulate on (not
under) the CRATES in mild weather +;
CRATES should not be shaken too long
nor violently. and clinkerS should be
removed with as little disturbance Of
the fire as possible. DO not shake or
disturb a very low fire until you have
added and ignited a little fresh fuel.
Participate the heating demand by
firing promptly when the outside tenn
perature begins to drop, or the wind
increases. Do not allow a fire to burn
too thin nor to develop holes in the
fire bed.
IF the heater is small for its work,
do not use coal containing a large
amount Of fine material.
"The house should be kept at a uni
form temperature and should not be
allowed TO cool down more than 10
degrees at night.
"The temperature of all rooms
should be as low as is consistent with
comfort. To heat a house to IS de-
grees +. instead of 20 degrees +. with
an average outside temperature Of 40
degrees f. for the entire heating sea-
son means a II per cent increase in
fuel consumption"

Paraffin Good Cleanser
Aid to H0uSekeeper

Parafin Is very useful, and does
wonders for the housekeeper, though
some people look upon it as a greasy
liquid unfit for cleansing purposes. A
soft cloth mOisteneo with 1t and used
on the furniture in egular dustings
will brighten the wood. Many laun-
dresses put a little into the water in
which sOiled clothes are soaked, and
a little added to the starch will keep
the irons from sticking. Paraffin Is
also good for cleaning enameled bed
steads, bathtubs, sinks, etc. Paint is
greatly improved If cleaned with a
soft cloth and paraflin, the dirt coming
away without injuring the surface or
spelling the luster.

Generally speaking, n collecting ex-

Prairie dogs occupy more than 1OOOONO acres of public and private lands,
and wherever they occur in abundance they are exceedingly destructive to
cultivated crop and to forage on the open range. In cooperation with the
extension services OF the agricultural colleges in Arizona, Colorado Montana.
New Mexico. North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming the
campaign against these animals has been pushed aggressively by the biological
survey, which recently issued its annual report from which the following facts
are taken:
In Arizona IN icy Mexico the state councils of defense Joined actively
In the work. and contributed funds for the purpose. The participation of
farmers n StOckmen mas been fuller than ever before, and the saving O
crops and forage has been correspOndmgy great. During tho yea from 70
to 95 per cent oft the prairie dogs wered destroyed on nearly 100000 acreso of
privately oWned crop ad forage and M on more than 100000 acres of
public domain, the latter making more than 100000 acres Of public lands
which have been largely freed from these pests. In man places private
landowners we're so interested that they volunteered their services to clear
adjacent government lands, the bureau supplying the poison to be used in the
work. With cooperation of this character it will be possible to clear large
areas Of the public domain at almost a nominal cost. to the government.
