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 q material that will not break
up into chaff or powder too quickly,
and which will not be inclined to abb
sorb moisture. Litter that breaks up
quickly makes the house overly dusty
and often causes 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 material that
is digestible If eaten by the hens, for
q certain amount is invariably con-
sumed
materials for the litter, as Ii is tough
and lasts well, although at the same
time light enough In weight that the
hens can easily kick II around. These
straws also have the desirable quality
of being slow to absorb moisture. Dat
straw does not make quite such good
litter. as it becomes damp too quickly.
Alfalfa or clover hay does not make
good litter, as IL 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 of the
leaves of the hay, which is good for
them.
For the floor of breeders or colony
coops, shortcut hay is one of the best
materials that can be used when cut
in two or tLree-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.

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 its infancy
and. when humanity was cropping it's
way out of the darkness into the light
its wonderful images, its inspiring
stories and its uplifting spirituality
make it as valuable an agent of civili-
zation and as powerful factor in the
uplift 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. Its usefulness does not
stop there. 1t is now employed to teach
the lessons of patriotism and to in
culcate the spirit of Americanism.-

SIeighs 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 OK.
The streets of Madeira are paved
with smooth round stones, and over
these stones the runners of the
sleighs travel quite freely. In fact,
the motion of the sleigh is much
smoother than would be that of
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.

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous. Respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
II we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
naRsick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere The rec
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
OF food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else 1t ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as 1t Is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, SO we must each morning clear
the inside organs Of the previous days
accumulation Of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, a glass of
real hot water with teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate I'm It, as a harm
less means of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying the entire alimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions of peonle who had their turn
at constipation. bilious attacks, acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but is
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone,
its cleansing, sweetening and freshen-
ing effect upon the system.

To Heat House to rs Deg.
Instead of 10 Deg. Means
II Per Cent Fuel Increase

Every possible measure should be
taken to save all the coal that is pos
sible throughout the winter-and
every winter, as far as that goes,
says Prof. A. c. Willard of the depart
ment of heating and ventilation of the
University of Illinois. lit Is never too
late TO save coal and every user of this
fuel should observe the following sug-
gestions which are given as a 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.
"Grates 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 i'm 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 very low fire until you have
added and ignlted a little fresh fuel.
Anticipate the heating demand by
firing promptly when the outside tenn
perature begins to drop, or the wind
increases. Do not allow 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 large
amount of fine material.
"The house should be kept at uni
form temperature and should not be
allowed to cool down more than 10
degrees at night.
1.-The temperature of all rooms
should be as low as is consistent with
comfort. To heat house to 70 de-
grees +. instead Of 70 degrees +. with
an average outside temperature of 40
degrees +. for the entire heating sea-
son means a II per cent increase in
fuel consumption"

Making Dry Barrels Water-Tight

The usual method of swelling leak
ing casks by pouring water into them
and renewing as fast as it runs out,
until the leaks close, is tedious and
slow. Stuff the cask with straw and
place large stone on the top. Satu-
rate with water and the straw will re-
tain enough moisture to swell the
weed after the water has escaped.

Paraffin Good Cleanser
Aid to Housekeeper

Paraffin is very useful, and does
wonders for the housekeeper, though
some people look upon 1t as a greasy
liquid unfit for cleansing purposes. A
soft cloth moistened with 1t and used
on the furniture in regular dustings
will brighten the wood. Many laun-
dresses put little into the water in
which soiled clothes are soaked, and
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

soft cloth and paraffin, the dirt coming
away without injuring the surface or

RIGHTTo THE POINT

Love and wine get credit for
making fools of some men who
were born fools.
It's the easiest thing in the
world for a man to forget the
mean advantage he took Of an
other.
Always listen carefully to the
opinions of others; the chances
are you will derive no benefit
therefrom, but it will please
them.
Smile when you can" says

why didn't he confer an ever
lasting favor on humanity by
telling us how to smile when we
can't.

Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of

Good prices for the farmers crops en-
courage new investment. more production

But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads-the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to

The railroads-like the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do.
the railroads are able to attract new capital

Rates high enough to yield fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
