festation of intestinal worms Is
causing the trouble. Worms in a
small degree infest all fowls, but
Under some conditions they multiply

I'm Kidding a flock OF worms, it
is necessary to pay close attention
TO sanitation. The house and runs
should be thoroughly sprayed with
a strong germicide, to kill the eggs
that may be in the droppings; the
litter should be removed en-
tirely out of their range, and clean
litter used. Another thing that
makes me think they have heavy
infestation of worms is their vora-
cious appetite,
"Conkeys has a good remedy for
worms, but these may be tape

medicine. Go to any drugstore and
get Oil of Chenopodium, or Oil of
Turpentine, and use one drachm to

wet mash and give It to them, after
the birds have nothing to eat for

I am getting a number OF In

old Mother Nature.

The new home uMder a stump on
the edge of the garden really did
seem like a very safe place, and
Nanny Meadow MOUSE began to feel
better right away. Nanny is a great
home lover and was anxious to get
this new home completed at once.
So presently they started out to look
for something to make their bed of.
There was plenty of good material.
They found all the dry grass they
wanted. 1t wasn't as soft as the
grass they had been used to, but it
did very well. Then Danny discov-
cred some white, soft stuff in a field
which joined that garden. 1t was
cotton, though of course Danny
didn't know this.
But he did know that this would
make the loveliest kind Of bed, and
he carried as much of it back to the
new home as he could. Nanny was
just as tickled with it as Danny had
been and she went with him to get
more. 1t was quite a journey for
two such small folks, but they felt
that it was worth it. So at last the
new home was completed and Danny
and Nanny felt quite settled.
With the new home finished, there
was no work to be done and nothing
In particular to do but to hunt for
food and to get acquainted with their
new surroundings. AS is their way,
they cut little private paths for them
selves in many directions, and soon
they felt quite as much at home as
IL they had always lived'in the Sunny
South.
For awhile they thought they had
no neighbors. Then one moonlight
night they ventured over to the field
where they had found the cotton.
That field was all grown up to weeds.
Presently Danny discovered a little
path through these weeds. 1t was
very like the little paths that he and
Nanny cut in the grass, only it was
somewhat bigger.
Somebody lives around here"
whispered Danny to Nanny. who
do you suppose it can be?'

think we'd better get away from
here. Whoever made this path may
not like to have us using it,
But Danny wouldn't listen. His
curiosity was too much for him. He
Insisted on going on. Nanny was
sVrAad to be left behind, so she fol-
lowed.
Pretty soon ths path branched.
Danny stopped. He was trying to de-
eide whether to keep on or try this
branch. Before he could make up
his mind they heard approaching
footsteps. Danny and Nanny crawled
into the grass at the side of the little
path and waited. Presently down the
little branch path came running a
stranger. At the point where two

him in some regular employment, he
simply cannot bide at home. There
comes day when the broad high
way calls louder than the voices Of
wife and children, when the glamour
Of STANCE places is more than the

either go or break his heart in repin-

There are birds you cannot tame,

And you had just as we'll face this

But the old proverb about the roll
ing stone gathering no moss IS not
necessarily true one now. Busl-
ness nowadays is often an adventure
in itself and fortunes go to those
who have the spirit Of the adventur'

me, but when he does I can't help
remembering that he has probably
told her the same thing. And when
he kisses me 1 just know how he
has kissed her. 1 want to think of il

you that your fiances former love

Answer.
do not know anything more pit
iful than the fact that nine tenths
Of the oVerworked women in the
world are being killed by the un-
necessary labor their families force
them to do. 1t Is just as easy 10
hang coat up on a hook as it is to
hang it on a chair. 1t is no more
exel ton to drop cigar ashes in
trav than it is on the floor. 1t re-
olires no heroic sacrifice Of pleas
ure to keep a newspaper together
instead Of strewing it all over the
house.
But 1t makes a slave OF the one
woman who has to hang UP ana
pick up and sweep UP after a fam
iIv who seem to believe that the1r
belongings are automatically
switched to where they belong, ana
that their dirt disappears as if by

magic. If every member Of a
self or herself, there wouldn't be
so many monuments in the GENE
teries to our beloved wives and
mothers.
Ones sympathy for these domes-
tic martyrs is, however, CONSIDER
ablv marred by the knowledge that
they have brought their fate on
themselves, so far as their children
are concerned. Children treat their
mothers invariably just as their
mothers have taught them.
If mother has demanded respect
and consideration from her chill
dren, she gets respect and consid-
Grafton. If she has permitted her
children to speak impudently to her'
thew say insulting things to her;
if she assumes all the burdens, they
let her bear them.
Certainly any woman who has
son twenty-four years old who VIII
sit idly by and see his mother Spill
wood and lift heavy loads Is getting
lust what she has soWn. She mas

for she has not taught him to be
chivalrous toward herself. More
than that, she has done a great
wrong to some other woman, pc
cause she has raised up a boy VINO

Probably it S too late to change
your sons now, B. B., but wake thelh
up as much as you can by refusing TO

GARRY LOCUST WAR ID PESTS' HOMES
Africans to Attack Breeding
 Places Of Devastating Insects

Alexandria, Egypt, Dec. l9.--An expedition into tho Kalahari desert has been organized by the South African government to discover the breeding places of the locusts that come forth in the summer and swarm over the farms of South Af- rlca, destroying everything in their wake. It is hoped eventually to send small army into this desert armed with sprayers and all the necessary equipment for killing the pest.
 Some members of the expedition visited the kraal of the Barokene tribe, 200 miles within the desert, and were received by the native chief and his wife. both dressed in the European fashion and speaking English.
 Among these natives they found d group of some 50 white men and women serving in menial capacities. They are the descendants of noma- die forbears who trekked adventur- ously from the Cape, only 10 settle among the Barokene natives, whose workmen to all intents and purposes they have become.
 Being white, by the laws of the country they are denied pastoral and agricultural privileges, and now they seem to have lost all initiative to move out and reestablish themselves in q white community.

JAPANESE OPINION
Reasons For Their Refusing to En- certain Plans For Reception to U. S. Fleet Discussed,

Washington, Dec. le.--Announce- ment yesterday in Tokio that the American and Tokio governments had discussed a possible visit of the American tleet to Japan after the fleet maneuvers at Hawaii brought no comment today either from the state or navy departments. In the absence of Secretary Hughes, who was out of the city, state department officials said they could not discuss the situation.
 Premier Kato's statement that his government had found itself unable to extend an invitation for such 8 visit was believed in some quarters 10 reflect the difficulties in furnishing adequate entertainment in view of conditions in Yokohama and Tokio as result of the earth quake.
 The Japanese would not be con- tent to offer less elaborate hospitality than the American fleet receives in Australian ports and elsewhere. There is nothing to indicate that the discussion ever went beyond a , preliminary exchange of opinion.
