approaches coats become more and
more distinctive.
Wine-cOlOred velvet lavished with
natural fox is the theme of the pa
trician coat on the seated figure.
The entire garment is Embroidered
and the sleeve with three large ell
bow tucks is novel.
There is about the velvet hat a
simple elegance which makes it in
dispenSable for afternoon wear
with the velvet ensemble. Worn
with the handsomely furred velvet
coat as here illustrated smart
fashion is expressed at its zenith.
While black and black -and-white

is also apparent that wildly col

Risque Letters Recovered

searched a small desk for a large
envelope.
Smith acted swiftly, with the ap-
pearance of extreme carelessness.
He tipped a long envelope from
his pocket onto the tiger lady's
desk. She snatched it viciOuSly, in
serted the letters, sealed the flap
and wrote the address. From be
tween the leaves of note book
Smith, supremely Indifferent to the
tiny revolver, extracted a stamp
and allowed it to futter down upon
the envelope. Hastily LOuelen
licked the stamp and held it
pressed by her thumb upon the cor
ner of the envelope while she
backed out Of the apartment. Smith
followed, in the face of the pearl
handled menace, and saw her drop
the letter down a mail chute in the
hall.
Brown called on Smith the fol-
lowing afternoon and thanked him
for rescuing Miss Worthing from
her unfortunate situation. They
had decided to tell Mr. Worthing
everything, but could not under
stand why the old gentleman had
not received the three letters which
the LawtOn woman had mailed.
Smith tossed the dangerous let
ters across the table.
MY return address was printed
upon the envelope which | gave to
Miss Lawton," Smith explained. "In
her excitement she did not notice
that my stamp had been salvaged
from an envelope and bore scarcely
a trace OF gum. | knew it would
brush off in the mail chute and that
the letter would be returned to me
for postage by the post office"

Watch for Bumblefoot
in the Chicken Flock

During the winter months when
the flock is confined indoors on
hard concrete or board floors, few
cases of bumblefoot are likely to
develop and to require attention.
Bumblefoot results in an abscess
or corn on the bottom of the fowls
foot, usually caused by a jar or
bruise received in jumping from
perch that is too high to hard
floor. Occasionally the trouble is
caused by sharp corners on the
perches or by perches that are too
large for the fowls to rest on natu-
rally.
One of the best remedies for
bumblefOOt is prevention. See that
there are no sharp corners on the
roOsts and that the roosts are as
low as they can be placed con-
veniently, particularly if one of the
heavy breeds is being housed. An
other item that is of value in pre-
ventiOn is the matter of keeping a
liberal supply of clean litter on
the floor.
In cases where bumblefOot de-
velops few applications of tine
ture of iodine will usually effect a
cure, if applied at the first signs
of foot soreness.

we find, for the velvets then and

any lightsome material become the

him while she still painted. Her
mind, throat and stomach had been
set on fire. Her dependency from
several days of severe drinking had
been rudely thrust aside.
Miss Worthing, Browns fancee,

She could not take Il single drink
without continuing to drink until

INCREASED FEED
IN WINTER BEST
Way to Bring Up Produc-
ton of Laying Fowls.

With a 80 per cent production
for young stock as a practical eco
nOmicaI limit for their production,
}. B. Hayes, poultry specialist at
the University of Wisconsin, adj
vises that careful feeding should
attend their introduction into the
class of producers.
Forcing" he declares, should
not be attempted on young stock,
nor should it be expected of them
that production on top of early ma
turity gained from forcing will be
the best for flock production"
For poultry stock which is in con-
dition to be forced, such as pullets
that are well along to maturity,
and hens that have fully recovered
from their mold and are again in
good condition, increased feeding
during the winter months is a good
way TO bring up production of the
flock. One of the best ratiOns for
the flock to bring them to better
production is this one:
Scratch Feed MiXture-Cracked
corn, 2 pounds; wheat, 2 pounds;
oats, l pound.
Mash-Bran, 100 pounds wheat
middlings, 100 pounds; buckwheat
middlings, 100 pounds; green oats,
100 pounds; oil meal, so pounds; !;
salt, 3 pounds.
Practices in feeding that have
been found to be the best, accord
ing to Hayes, include the feeding
of grain in two or three portions
during the day. The mash is the
true "forcer" of the feed for the
flock.
