.VITAMINED Hens
LAY MORE EGGS,
CHEMISTS LEARN
Chickens Won't Have
Small Families in
The Future.

NEW YORK, Sept when
American chemists finish work on
which they are engaged the Amert-
can hen is going to lay six eggs
where she now produces one. The
hen means well, but doesn't know
what she could do II she tried.
By feeding hens vitamines, the
chemists expect to perform this
wonder. Investigators of the Kan
sas State Agricultural College told
the American Chemical Society
Wednesday at Columbia University
how they were doing 1t.
The hens are fed substances rich
in vitamines. Their eggs hatch
strong chicks, which in turn lay
more eggs than their mothers. Hens
deprived of vitamines lay eggs once
in a while and usually these are
good for nothing but the froth on
a lemon meringue pie.
The ChIeks Are HuskIer.
SO don't count your chickens be-
fore they're hatched" counsel the
Kansas experimenters. Not half
OF the chicks Matched are strong and
vigorous when they are deficient in
vitamines-"
Nobody has ever seen a vitamine,
but chemists can tell when one is
around. DR.. Atherton Seidel, of the
Public Health Service. reports that
he has tracked down vitamines in
silver salts and hopes to get them
out of the silver before Christmas.
Hookworm and pellagra are due
to leave the South when the vita
mine case is perfected. Already ex-
periments on pigeons and calves
prove that a living being has far
more pep when fed on vitamines.
White mice were dosed with pei
lagra germs and then fed with vita
mine-bearing foods, They got well
in short order. A few cases with
lazy diseases or as the scientists
call them. deficiency diseases"
were fed vitamines. They now hold
good Jobs.
Other Subjects Treated.
The chemists. assembled her" for
their siNty-sixth annual convention,
are telling how to make UcI,vr
leather and cheaper shoes and how
10 make two automobile tires in the
time it now takes to make one.
The menace of chemical warfare
was recognized by the society to-
day as a grave crisis. threatening
our chemical industry" and a reso-
luton urging the Washington dis
armament conference to consider
carefully the reduction of ''chemi-
cal armaments," was passed
Resolved. That We urge upon the
Nmcrical delegates to the disarma-
ment conference" the resolution
read. most serious consideration
"t the broad question of chemical
armament as affected by the de-
Neiopment and maintenance of the
'hem'cal industries in the several
TatiOns"
Members of the society 1.ointed

No Need For Cuts.

=" have worked with the budget committees of four previous General Assemblies and this K the first time the committee has succeeded in pre- saufipe bills to the legislature which were within the revenue, thereby re 1ieytnc the governor of the task ot cuttinr appropriation bills after the legislature has adjourned. 1T the leg iSlature does not pass appropriation hills which have been diSapproved by thc Budget Committee, or which have ,ot heen before the Budget Committee then if will not be necessary for the governor to veto single item. II tbo legislature does make appropria- tiou of items which the Budget com mittee has disapproyed, or which they have not passed on, then, of course It will be up to the governor to cut the various appropriations to bring the aegrecate amount within the estlmat- ed revenues.
 All departments which are seifsup- norting. such as, for instance, the uiphwav Department the Banking Department. the Feed and Fertilizer rnspection bureaus the Game and Fish Commission, the Bureau of Vital Sta tisties. and various others have been allowed amounts which are sateiS withjn inc estimated revenues, which will be secured through these respec tive departments"

There are several special orders in the House today, including the new cigarette bill, which is set for 3 ?. III. This is the bill passed by the Senate, which k recommended by Governor McRae in the message yetoing the original bill because the license fees were too low The fees have been doubled and since it meets with the approval of the Governor, it is pre- dicted that there will be little opposi- ton to today The House lacked but one vote last Friday of passing the original bill over the Governor veto. It is estimated that the new bill should bring at least S20o,oo Il year into the general revenue.

 The members were very enthusiastic to make this the banner year for this association, in beautifying the park with flowers. Shruhhery, etc, and keep ing il cleaned. raked. moved and flow CT beds worked Ii was decided to re- paint the bandStand build more seats and repair and repaint the old ones
 The services of Mir. J. D Stephenson have been secured and he will have charge of the park this season. and we feel it will be kept in better condition than it has ever been kept. The Pres colt band under direction of Prof. Dwight Blake, will begin to give con ecrts again when the weather permits.
 It is the desire of this association that everyone enjoy the park, and every citizen to feel an interest in and help to make the park more beautiful than ever The park iS quite an asset to the town being conveniently located, and not many towns can boast of as pretty and well kept park as ours. Be
 ing located by the railroad, it has been good advertisement for the town, and the ladies of the park association de serve great credit for the efforts they have put forth in beautifying the park.
 If is the desire of these ladies that everybody use it and enjoy it, and make it part of the community of the town.

CHOLERA.

\ county free from hog cholera this year iS the goal to which swine breed. CTS in Steuben County, Ind, are work ing under the guidance of the local county agent and the district yeterinar- ian of the United States Department of Agriculture. AS result of per. sistent campaign for the control of cholera and strict organized effort to eradicate it, there has been a remark able decrease in the disease in the county during the last two years. In 1917 the loss from cholera in the county according to the county agent, was about S10.000 In 1918 it was little less than 5000, and in 1919 it was about the same. In 1920, however only three cases occurred in the county, which leads the swine breeders to believe that if their efforts to control the disease are continued cholera can be practically eradieated.
