y The question has been asked as to
what is the nature of the work of the
w. C. T. u. now that prohibition is
enforced. The union is engaged in
welfare work of different kinds. and is
interested in all reform movements.
Visiting the sick and unfortunate, Civ
ing aid when ever possible, clothing
children who otherwise could not at
tend day or Sunday schools, are only
a part of the activities of the union.
A report was made to the North To-
peka branch recently that children in
North Side family who had formerly
attended Sunday school no longer
came. AS the father was an invalid
and the mother supported the family
by taking in washing, it was thought
the children might not have suitable
clothing and a committee was sent to
investigate and to give assistance if
needed. The mother explained that
she had sent the children to Sunday
school, wearing their every day
clothes, and the other children made
fun OF them. However, she added, she
would send them again. anyway The
clothing of the children in this case
was neat and c4ean, but not, appar-
emily. up to the standard of the self
righteous little judges.

TUBERCULOSIS OF CHICKENS

common and is caused by a type of

mails, including man, is rare except
in case of hogs. Hogs contract tuber-
culoss from poultry, and are more
susceptible to cattle tuberculosis than
are cattle themselves. Chickens, when
affected, squat in secluded places and
gradually become emaciated. In
dressing diseased chicken the breast
muscles are usually wasted and the

the liver, spleen and intestines.

FARMERS WARNED TO
ERADICATE CHICORY
1t Has Become Troublesome
Weed in Many Sections.
Seeds of Plant Usually Distributed In
Grass or Clover Seed in Which 1t
occurs as an Impurity-
Readily Identified.

One mans meat is another mans
poison; and chicory, grown as a vege-
table in Europe, is likely to become q
pest over here, says the United States
Department of Agriculture.
ChicOry is grown as vegetable and
forage crop in Europe and to a lesser
extent as a vegetable in the United
States. In some sections, notably in
Michigan, there is a considerable pro-
duction of the root for use as a coffee
substitute. It readily runs wild, and
the wild form has become in recent
years a troublesome weed from the
state of Virginia northward. Its
! spread has increased from year to
year until the Department of Agricul-
ture finds it sufficiently disturbing to
justify a warning to farmers.
The seeds of the wild forms are
usually distributed in grass and clover
| seed in which it occurs as an impurity.
Farmers should watch for the appear
ance of the plants, readily identified
by the blue flowers and thick roots,
and eradicate it by cutting an inch o.
| so below the soil surface After cut
! ting, drop a pinch of salt on the sew
cred root, which will prevent sprout-
ing. During the morning hours the
bright, blue flowers are very conspicu-
Gus and it is easy to locate the plants
and either pull or cut them. When it
appears in quantity it may be eradi-
Gated by growing an intertilled crop,
such as potatoes or corn, for at least
two years. Continuous grazing by
sheep or goats will also help destroy
the weed.
Chicory was brought into Massachu-
setts from Holland in 1855. The prin-
cipal use of the plant is as a coffee
substitute and adulterant, for which
the roasted dried root is used. I'm
proved varieties of chicory are used
as salads and green's. The young, ten
der roots are also edible. One variety
produces witloof, a vegetable that is
becoming increasingly important. AS
a forage plant chicOry is little es
teemed in the United States, but in
Europe it is regarded as a valuable
element in sheep pastures.
Information regarding the control
and eradication of chicory is contained
in Circular 10S, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Loss of live stock in transit is one
of the great problems of the stock
growers of the country today. Cruel
ty in loading and unloading them is
partially to blame for the great loss,
but the cruelty of neglect is much
greater cause. The caretakers on the
trains usually spend their time back in

Gallant War Services.
During the recent war, notwith-
less and all the methods of communi-
cation which modern genius has in
vented, pigeons played an invaluable
and gallant part.
In the United States there is prob
ably not a city which cannot boast of
racing-pigeon fanciers, while clubs and
associations for the advancement and
enjoyment of the facinating sport of
racing the birds are being constantly
formed in Eastern, Western, and to
some extent in Southern cities. Lofts
of hOming pigeons are maintained by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture at the government poultry
farm at Beltsville, Md, and the de-
partment holds a membership in the
Washington Racing Pigeon club,
branch of the American Racing Pigeon
union. Many of the Washington club
races flown during the past summer
and fall have been won by Department
of Agriculture birds, which number
about $50.
Just what faculty enables the hOm-
ing pigeon to return to its loft many
miles away is a point of dispute
among eminent homing-pigeon breed
ers Some attribute it to remarkable
instinct. Others maintain that this
bird has sight so brilliant and power
full that it is able to see much farther
than any other species, while there are
some who claim that it is the ex-
treme and strong attachment for
home, coupled with peculiar memory.
Training the Birds.
It is necessary to keep the birds in
good condition with plenty of outdoor
exercise, both in good and bad wealth
er, if they are to have endurance for
long flights. The young birds are
usually Matched in February and
March. During the time when the eggs
are being incubated and the young
cared for, only one of pair is trained
each day. On alternate days the other
is shipped to the training station. In
this way the breeding is not interfered
with, and the eggs or young are never
left without one or the other of the
old birds.
In the beginning of the training the
birds are conveyed in a basket not
more than six or eight blocks from
their lofts to an open spot away from
buildings. The basket is faced toward
the loft and the birds liberated at
once. At this distance pigeon spe.
cialists advise practicing them from
all points of the compass. The next
step is to select the route over which
it is intended to fly the birds. From
half a mile the distance can be in
creased to 1 mile, then 5, 10, so, 100
and 800, until the longest distance has
been reached.
Fly in Clear Weather.
Clear weather should always be Sc
lected for the birds flights, for many
| birds are lost during d stormy period
| Then, too, good weather is especially
necessary for rapid flying.
1t is considered best not to be in
too great haste in having the birds fly
long distance. The young birds need
| the time to develop their faculties
| strengthen the muscles, educate the
| sight and cultivate the memory aDC

unwilling or unable to stabilize her
financial and political conditions,
Uncle Sam may find it necessary to
do it for her. That is the warning
the island republic received last week
from the administration in Washing
ton.
The serious condition of affairs in
Cuba has been a matter Of common
knowledge for some time, but our gov
ernment's intention was made known
only when 1t was announced that
President Wilson had sent Judge Ad-
vocate General Enoch H. Crowder to
Havana to confer with President
Menocal. General Crowder went on
the battleship Minnesota and with
him was a staff of army officers. In
announcing his mission, President
Wilson said:
1.-THE moratorium and financial
crisis in Cuba continues, the solution
of which appears more difficult on ac-
count of the unsettled presidential
election. A continuation of the pres
ent situation would prove most detri-
mental to the prosperity of Cuba and
harmful to the relations between the
United States and Cuba.
"As this cannot be but a matter of
the closest concern to this govern
ment, because Of the special relations
existing between the two countries,
the President has instructed General
ffTnVvHnr fn until Df.oe,
Menocal as to the best means of rem
edying the situation"
Actual Intervention, which would be
under the Platt amendment, will be
avoided by the administration If pos
sible. If it is necessary, it is not GER
tain that military forces would be
required.
Cuba's troubles are both financial
and political. Last summer, when
sugar brought such high prices in the
United States, the island went sugar
mad and enormous fortunes were
made. Then came the sudden col
lapse of prices, and the cane mills
closed and Cuba, generally speaking,
went broke. The Industrial situation
grew worse daily, and financial con-
Germs were in great distress. Many
banks went into insolvency and a
moratorium was established, which has
recently been extended another month.
All this is complicated by the polit-
ical mixup in the island. President
Menocals term expires on May 20, but
no one knows who is to succeed him.
After the recent elections numerous
charges Of fraud were made and the
winner has not yet been determined.
American bankers, who are vitally
Interested In Cuba, disapprove Of the
moratorium. Some time ago Albert
Rathbone was sent to the island as
financial adviser and he submitted to
the Cuban government a number of
recommendations which were ap-
proved by our State department; but
apparently Menocal and his cabinet
have taken no action toward adopting
them. The Cuban minister in Wash
Ington was surprised by the sending
of General Crowder and immediately
asked an explanation, but he did not
receive much satisfaction.
