BRAND Sends Final Ac-

dor Jusserand.

Paris, Dec. 23.-(By the Associa-
ted Press .)-Premier BRAND has
sent Ambassador Jusserand in
Warrington a final and definite ac-
ceptance of the capital ship ratio.
France, however, it is stated, main
tains her position regarding sub
marines and coast defense ships,
although she is willing to nego-
tiate.
France insists that her demands
are vitality necessary to her secur-
ity, it is indicated, but is disposed
to cooperate with the United States
as far as possible.
Washington, Dec. 23.-(By the
Associated Press s.)-Suggestion has
been made by the Italian arms del
egation to the naval committee of
the conference that another inter
national gathering of broader scope
be called soon, after the adjourn
ment of the present discussions to
deal particularly with submarines
and auxiliary craft
Washington, Dec. 23.-(By the
Associated Press. "A further ex-
change of views on the British pro-
posal for abolition of the subma-
rine was expected at today's ses-
sion of the full naval committee of
the arms conference, unless the
French delegates were prepared to
go ahead with their delayed pre-
sentation of estimates of auxiliary
craft desired by France under the
naval reduction program.
Talk Sub Restriction.
While the position taken by
spokesman of France, Italy and ia
pan against the total abolition OF
the submarine, and indication of
like stand by the United States fol
lowing Great Britain's plea for its
abolition at yesterdays committee
session, apparently has settled the
fate of the proposal. there still re-
manned to be discussed the move
for an understanding to restrict the
operations of underwater craft.
This was supported by all the
powers in the discussion of the
British proposal yesterday, and the
British delegation is apparently
planning to join in the move as an
alternative to adjustment of the
submarine. They indicated. how
ever, that they would first carry
their fight for that to an open ses-
sion of the conference
Washington, Dec. %. - (By the
Associated Press. Failure of the
French delegation to receive ex-
pected additional instructions as to
naval craft from its home
promised to lead to
further discussion today of the sub
marine question by the Washington
in the single meeting
likely to break a pre-Christmas lull.
The further instructions awaited
by the French delegation had not
been received up to noon, and it ap-
peared improbable to delegation
members that they would come
in time to be of use at the
of the full naval commit
tee, set for O'Clock today.

ON ALL PRODUCE
Anyone Concerned in Interstate

INSPECTOR is TRAINED MAN
Many Causes Of Disputes, Costly Law
suits and Lasting Dissatisfaction
Are Removed-Buyer and
Seller Satisfied.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There are few shippers of produce
who have not suffered at some time
the discontinue Of receiving word
from the other end of the line that
their carload arrived in bad condition,
due to poor grading, careless packing,
frost damage, overripeness, rot, break
age, mold, disease or any one of half
dozen other kinds of injury.
Every instance of this sort means u
money loss and the shipper wonders
sometimes whether the produce really
arrived in bad order OF whether some
unscrupulous dealer possibly seized up
on trifling excuse to reject the ship
ment because 1t was received on a
falling market, or sought pretext to
depress its value or to gloss over a
sale made at what seemed unduly low
prices.
Condition Determined on Arrival.
If really damaged. the shipper wants
to know to what amount. Was the
whole load affected? What was the
actual condition on arrival? Was the
loss due to bad handling and packing
or TO delay or neglect by the traLs-
portation company or by the receiver?
Was the cause disease which may
develop also in the rest of the crop?
Some of these questions interest the
receiver and the railways, as well as
the shipper or producer. No one cares
to assume blame and incur loss for
what happened TO the produce while
1t was in the hands of others. How
can all these questions be settled with
out undue expense or delay?
Since the establishment OF the fed
eral inspection service three years ago
by the bureau of markets and crop
estimates of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the answer is
comparatively simple. Telegraph to
the federal inspector In the nearest
large city, asking him to report on the
shipment" He is a trained man, with
considerable experience in handling
produce, Il competent and certified
judge of grades and condition.
The inspectors verdict Is commonly
accepted by dealers and shippers and
by courts, railways and express COM
panies. With the shipment officially
inspected, all parties concerned have
learned all that it is practicable to
know about its exact condition and

FEEDING TESTS WITH FOWLS
Mixture OF Bran, Mlddlings, Meat
Scrap and Corn Meal is Ideal
for Producing Eggs.

AS result Of eight years. feeding
tests at the United States Department
of Agriculture poultry yards at Belts
vile, Md. mash feed has been COM
pounded which gives uniform high
egg production. This mash, which has
been tested for three years, is made
of 4 per cent bran, 4 per cent mid
dlings, 26 per cent meat scrap, and
66 per cent cornmeal. In the expert
ments the hens were allowed to select
their own mash ingredients. This is
the proportion of those different feeds
which they ate during the year.
Several pens of 80 hens each, both of
Leghorns and of Rhode Island Reds,
have averaged from 140 to 1856 eggs
apiece while this mash was fed. While
the mash seems to be especially adapt
ed for Leghorns 1t has given very
good results with Reds. Wyandottes
and Plymouth Rocks were found to
get too fat on the ration and mash
somewhat lower in meat scrap has
given better results with these breeds.
Both the Wyandottes and Plymouth
Rocks at Beltsville are large standard
sized fowls. The tendency to become
overfat on this mash probably would
not be found in, smaller type Of
Plymouth Rocks. such as is often
found ON commercial poultry tarms.

Farmers sowing alfalfa in ground
where alfalfa or related crops, such

not been grown before, will find it
advisable to inOculate the soil with the
proper kind of nitrogen-tixing bac-
terra. The same is true of clover,
peas or any other legume. The
United States Department of Agrlcul-
ture says there are three principal
methods of inoculating soil-by direct
application of soil from field known
to have suitable bacteria, by pure cul-
ture incubation, and by the glue
method.
For the first. it is well to apply at
least 200 pounds of finely sifted in
oculated soil per acre. This can be
done with the fertilizer attachment of

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are eI-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large q
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
