GIVE AID TO THE
STARVING CHILDREN

When the boys now at the Board
ing Gymnasium at Sanok, Poland,
go forth to take their places in life,
they will carry with them a great love
for America. Wor while they were
starving, they were fed by the Eu-
ropean Relief Council. Their graft
tude for the food, some $4,000
worth, has been forwarded by the
Gymnasium manager, DR.. Brood to
the Council.
1--WE have received 4 "B" pack
ages of food and have no words for
expressing our gratitude to you and
to all the noble donors"
For two years, America has CIV
en- us literally of food and clothing,
has taken care of our children and Of
our sick people, has fed our infants
with milk and has spread her benefi-
cent activity over many other fields.
Great and noble America has proved
to be a generous and liberal magnate
who does not keep his wealth but has
a munificent hand for his fellows
across the ocean.
1.-THE school children living In our
Gymnasium under my guidance who
will profit by these gifts are well
aware of these facts and will keep in
their hearts the feeling of true graft
tude to the European Relief Council
and will pray for the charitable dom
ors."
II has been announced by Herbert
Hoover that the child feeding fund
is far from complete. Thousands OF
dollars must come from Kentuckians
to help feed these 100000 pitifuI
children of Eastern and Central Eu-
rope.
A check to Richard Bean, Kentucky
Treasurer, or deposited with any
Bank in Kentucky, will help in this
great humanitarian cause

Three Principal Factors In Standard
Bred Poultry.

STANDARDIZED poultry, as the
phrase is commonly used in America,
is poultry bred to the standards es-
tablished by the American Poultry
Association. The principal points
considered are size, shape, and color,
say poultry specialists in the u. s.
Department OF Agriculture.
Size and shape are breed characters
and largely determine the practical
values of poultry. Many standard
breeds are divided into varities diff
fering in color, but identical in every
other respect. Color is not a primary
utility point, but as a secondary point
often comes in for special considera-
ton. For example, white variety
and black variety of the same breed
are actually identical in table quail
ty, but because some black birds do
not dress for the market as clean and
nice looking as white ones, It often
happens that they are not as salable.
When a flock of fowls is kept for
egg production only, uniformity in
color is much less important than ap-
proximate uniformity in size and type,
yet the more attractive appearance Of
a flock of birds Of the same color
justifies selection for color as far as
1t can be followed without sacrifice
ing any material point.
When a poultry keeper grows his
own stock year after year, he should
by all means use stock of a well-es-
tablished popular standard breed. By
doing so and by selecting as breeders
only as many of the best specimens
of the flock as are needed to produce
the chickens reared each year there is
maintained a highly desirable uni
formity of excellence in every practi-
cal quality and pleasing uniformity
in color.

THOUGHT Hts TIME
had COME, he SAYS
Springfield Man Says His
Condition Was Alarm
ing Before He Began
Taking Tanlac.

81 have just finished my third bot
tie of Tanlac and have already been
relieved of condition that was get
ting to be alarming" declared A.. j.
Kills, a carpenter, living at 81 N.
William Street, Springfield, Ohio, the
other day.
For two years previous to taking
Tanlac / had never been able to work
more than four or five days at time.
l had no appetite and actually dread
ed to eat, for even the little l manag-
ed to force down bloated me up with
gas and made me sick at the stomach
and so short of breath / sometimes
thought my time had come. l had
spells of dizziness and was so nervous
at times l couldn't hold nail long
enough to drive 1t, and felt dull and
languid all the time. During the
winter OF 1918 was unable to hit a
lick of work, and the following winter
1t was not much better.
But, it's fact, haven't had a
touch of digestion since l finished
my first bottle of Tanlac. ] have a
corking big appetite and eat things l
never dared touch before and every
thing agrees with me perfectly. My
nerves are steady as clock, feel
fine all the time and never lose day
from work on account Of sickness. Ev-
erybody l meet these days wants to
know what has got me to looking so
much better. and ! am always more
than glad to tell them, Tanlac.'

Hatch Early To Insure Winter Egg
Production.

With the average small-farm flock
where hens of general-purpose
breed are kept, 1t is most satisfactory
to let the hens do the Matching. If
the hens are Of nonbroody breed,
however, 1t is necessary to use incu-
bators or to purchase baby chicks.
Whatever. the method of Matching, 1t
is most important that it be done at
the right time of year.
The proper time Of Matching varies
with different localities, being earlier
in the South and latest In the extreme
North. The aim should be to hatch
the chicks at such time as will al
low the pullets to reach their full de-
velopment and begin laying in Octo-
Der or November, poultry specialists
in the United States Department Of
Agriculture say. as these earlier ma
turing pullets must be depended upon
very largely for the fall and winter
egg production. Late-hatched chicks
do not mature in time to-produce fall
and winter eggs, nor do they live or
grow so well during the hot weather

whltewashing Hen House Helps To
Keen Down Disease.

whitewashing Hen House Helps To
Keep Down Disease.
whitewash is effective in killing
mites and other vermin and may be
used freely in spraying the poultry
houses, brood coops, and roosts,
scientists in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture say. In badly
infested places It is advisable to clean
and spray with a stronger disinfectant
and in about As hours follow with
good spray or coating of whitewash.
An effective whitewash for this pur-
pose is made as follows:
Stake half peck OF lime and dilute
1t with 20 gallons of water; add 1
pound of salt previously dissolved in
water; to this mixture add quarts
of crude carbolic acid. Apply with
spray pump or brush. This, II prop
erly put on. not only kills the mites
but destroys all their eggs and makes
the house or any building where II is
used fresh and clean.
Cleanliness is Of the greatest i'm
portance in keeping lice, mites, fleas
and other insects under control. The
poultry houses, roosts, dropping board
and all other places that the fowls
occupy should. be kept clean. An
abundance of light and fresh air
should be provided. While these
things can not be depended on to keep
away lice and mites they make 1t ca
sier to determine when the pests are
present and help to keep the fowls
healthy, vigorous and better able to
withstand an attack of lice and mites.
Sick or diseased fowls are always the
first victims of these para, ties which
makes 1t important that the fowls be
kept healthy.

BEST SLEEPING POsTUREs

An investigator reports that 1915
per cent of the human family sleep
on the right side, % per cent sleep
ON the left side and las sleep on the
back. AS a rule, he says, unusual
positions in sleeping, particularly ly-
ing flat on the belly, indicate some
disease or other abnormal condition.
The probable reason given for the pre-
valence of the habit of sleeping on the
right side is that this position is most
favorable to the emptying of the
stomach, as we'll as aiding the heart
action. Sleeping habitually on one
side tends to destroy the body's
symmetry. BARRIERS testify, we are
told, that the growth of the hair on
the head and chin is retarded some
what on the sleeping side. This, it is
conjectured, may be due to pressure.

The health and appearance of chill
dren are a good test of the whole
someness of their diet. If they are
strong, well developed for their ages,
free from ailments, and full of en-
ergy and ambition, one may safely
say their food agrees with them. But
If they are listless and ailing. or not
so well developed either physically or
mentally as they should be, and If a
competent physician finds that there
is no special disease to account for
these bad symptoms, a mother may
well ask herself if the food is right,
and If not, how she can make 1t so.

MISUSE OF KLU KLUX KHAN

As result of the intimidation of

conviction of any person anywhere
who uses the name "Klu Klux Khan"

Rules For Feeding calves

Feeding is an important factor in
developing a good breeding animal, or
a favorite in the show ring. There
are many points to be remembered.
These poinst may be called rules of
feeding, among which specialists OF
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture give the following;
/. Provide variety of feeds at
all times. If possible. 1t is easier to
supply the proper amounts of the de-
sired nutrients which the calf needs II
several different feeds are used. The
ration win also be more palatable.

How To Make Table Grapes Available
All Year Round.

How To Make Table Grapes Available
All Year Round.
New varieties of fruit differing
from those usually found on the mar
ket are always Of interest. New va
rieties of table grapes brought by the
United States Department of Ayricul-
ture from Europe recently formed the
basis of a mid-winter demonstration
OF lLC keeping qualities OF these va
luable sorts, new to the American
vineyard industry.
The varieties used in this test were
introduced by the Department of Ag-
riculture; grown in the vineyards un-
der its direction near Fresno, Oak
Vile, and Colfax, Calf, packed by its
investigators; transported to its ex-
detrimental cold-storage plant at the
Arlington Farm near Washington;
and held until midwinter, long after
the holiday season, with the result
that at least six new varieties of po-
tential commercial value have been
demonstrated to possess keeping qua
lities beyond any hope which the in
vestigators at the department enter
tanned.
While repeated seasonal tests will
be necessary fully to determine the
value of these varieties under Ameri-
can conditions, the prospect of their
proving superior in dessert and keep
ing quality to the varieties now gem
orally grown appears excellent. In
view Of the profound changes which
the viticultural industry is now un-
dergoing, the lengthening of the con-
suming season for American-grown
table grapes is highly desirable to
both producers and consumers. The
experiments under way indicate the
strong probability that by growing

ii"rrowed Money shnad More Than

Farm credit is a good agency in the
ands of those farmers who know how
to use 1t, but it is a dangerous ele-
ment of farm business IL its nature
and purpose is not fully understood.
An unproductive enterprise is not a
safe basis on which to borrow mon
ey under any conditions. 1t is more
important that the enterprise shall
be productive than that the rate Of
interest at which one can borrow
money be high or low. Farm-credit
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture lay down one
essential rule to be followed by the
farmer who proposes to borrow mon
ey: Make sure that the. purpose for
which the borrowed money is to be
used will produce a return greater
than is needed to pay the debt.
