A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT: — (Fort Wayne News) Folks, meet up with R. C. Parrish, attorney at law! Mr. Parrish is a young man who appears to have a correct and comprehensive idea as to the obligation a lawyer is under to the community as well as an abiding sense of the sacredness of the statutes of the people. Mr. Parrish! The great American people who are making you their best salaam! f Mr- Parrish was called in as spe-i cial judge at the police court Satib r day to try a gang of bootleggers and! their attorneys seem to have cher- i Ished the idea that he would nullify I the statutes by assessing a normal! tine ;ind letting the scoundrels go toj poison more people at a high price.' So they pleaded guilty in a careless) sort of way and the defendants began to pull out their pocketbooks for the, purpose of "paying their license ". But Mr. Parrish fooled 'em. lie as-, sessod the punishment prescribed by. law, a fine and a jail sentence. Thci law says fine "AND jail sentence” and Mr. Parrish simply refused to be j an accomplice to law breaking by i nullifying the statute and suspending! the jail sentences. The defendants') lawyers all but dropped dead, and then coming out of the lethal trance into which they had fallen, they b ;i - JMMUL JIL 11.

o an to squaws, most dismally It pleaded that these l>ootleggers were honest, God respecting citizens, with sweet families dependent on their honest efforts for a livelihood and that it would be an everlasting pity to deprive them of the privilege of playing Ranta Claus for their dear little children right at Christmas time. However, attention was called to the fact that all were old offenders and that the law anyhow played no favorites. Then it was pleaded furiously that the liquor they possessed was for their own consumption but Mr. Parrish only smiled. He wondered perhaps what that taxicab driver was doing with several quarts in his machine for his own consumption. Granting that the law was a joke, did he really need that much to sustain life as he struggled for the sustenance of his dear ones? And then that gentlemanly and cultured operator of a soft drink parlor—why did he need several gallons of booze in his place of business? And why was it so carefully hidden away just where he could reach it when a customer called? Was that for his "personal use” Also? And then that big rascal with an unpronounceable name from southern' Europe—that fellow with twenty gallons on a hand and mash enough to make thirty gallons more. He was making it for the consumption of himself and little ones at the glad Christmas time, was he not? Oh, of course, a quart bottle for the stocking of every baby and a five gallon demi-john apiece for ma. pa, and Aunt Yovonne! Quite so Merry Christmas! It was all very touching and tearful, to be shre, but Mr. Parrish sat pat while the heathern raged and raved and he did not give in one inch. The penalty prescribed by law was assessed, and straightway an appeal was taken to the circuit court, where it wa? hoped the “personal liberty” of a free American citizen to flaunt our laws and insult the public might be sustained. Didn’t the ance:tors of these men fight in the revolution—with the Hessians? Sure. MHm! And now- shall their suncrowned descendants ge> to jail for the simple indiscretion of attempting to break down the nation's laws and corrupt its people? Well! It is, of course, a hard thing to send men to jail at Christmas time, but then where these men in order to rustle up a few illegal dollars are selling moonshine that would send other men reeling home drunk at Christmas time to break up the furniture and beat their wives, kill the eat and kick the children, and to waste their substance and burn out their brains with poison—well it seems to us to be a horse of a different color. And so it must seem io every right thinking man in this community. Mr. Parrish may not be called in as special judge of the police court any more —probably he won't beThe sort of a "special judge” the attorneys of the bootleggers want is some smug and complacent jackleg who will lock damnably fierce as he assesses the fine, and then pockets his fee to go in peace—and be called the next time. It's an old story and so hypocritical, mercenary , and abominable, that it disgusts and nauseates honest men everywhere. In the meantime just keep your eye on this Mr. Parrish. He will be heard from later. He may not be called as special judge in the police court but then lie may be called somel where else, for somehow the people rather have a preference for men who are honest and not afraid. You have until the day after tomorrow to join the Good Fellows I club- A number have told us that ’ they intend to contribute to the fund but they just put it off from day to day. Now you have but two more days and if you are going to do this DI'TY do it at once. The money will be used to give a Merry Christmas to poor and needy children and will mostly go for clothing of various kinds. Read the Advertisements in the Daily Democrat and profit according ly by making up your lists. You will find a wonderful stock of goods in Decatur stores and you can still se cure the gifts you want for your loved ones. Get busy. The time is short. Are you a Good Fellow? Has youi name appeared in the list? Are yot going to help give the children a hap py day next Monday? The dub fun< subscription closes Thursday evenins [and the Ikst list of joiners will bi I published Friday. Surely you wisl ito co-operate in this splendid cause These arc snappy winter daj which should make every one throw I back their shoulders and shout glai ) Christmas tidings with a spirit whicl j leaves uo doubt we mean it.

» Feeding Hens For > Eggs In Winter if — 1 (By County Agricultural Agent) ;1 Customary complaints such us. “Just as sure as eggs go up my hens f stop laying," and ‘T suppose 1 won t r |get any eggs until spring,” and others • of like nature are now being heard on i every hand. Also, many questions S |like 'How old do pellets have to be j before they will lay?" show that the J immature ‘pullets are coming in fori . their share of the blame as well as. .. the hen that did her best with what r feed she received. s The more hens are studied the morel they are seen to be similar to the, j most sensitive machines. They are not, ) j however, phenomenal creatures which) are able to manufacture eggs from air 1 t or to change fatty feeds into the pro f tein material in the egg. I When the manufacturer plans his i product he determines what things • shall be used in making it by noting ‘ what that product is composed of. In • like manner, the feeder of poultry must consider the composition of the I egg in determining what feeds shall ' be furnished the hen which manufa - I I tures the egg. ') Acording to analysis, about 65.9 per ■ cent, of an egg is water. 10.59 per cent is fat (found only in the yolk of tlie j ) egg). 12.53 per cent of the egg is protein or albumen and 10.6 S per cent is ash found in the shell. Thus it is I seen that over one-half of the solid matter of the egg. excluding shell, is*

I protein. t , Water is just as necessary to egg production as feed. Henrf will not I drink enough water if they are com 'polled to drink ice waler. Accordingly. , i water of correct temperature should be provided by using a fountain of the thermos type, a heated fountain, or warm water should be provided often enough during the day that It will not be below a moderate temperatun 1 . Since over one-half of the solid mat ter of the egg. excluding shell is proI tein, provision must be made for feed i ing that part of the ration. During the summer when the liens are able ito range over considerable territory, they are able to obtain protein mater iial in the form of insects, grass, clover lor other green feeds. But at this time jof year the hens cun obtain nothing except what is actually given them land protein must be furnished in the form of bran, biddllngs, tankage, meat scrape, milk, commercial mashes, or available green feeds such us turnips, beets or cabbage. The standard Purdue dry mash, consisting of 10 pounds bran. 10 pounds middlings, and 6 pounds high grade 60 per cent tankage is not a magic egg producer but is simply a mixture oi feeds which furnish protein in an economical way. This mash is kept before the flock at all times. In case high grade tankage cannot be obtained meat scrapes should be obtained liecause it is more palatable and is a higher grade product. It Is more ex pentdve than tankage, however, and

should not be used unless necessary, l Grains furnish the fat of the egg and 1 should be fed in deep litter. » light feed being used in the morning in order lo Induce exercise and heavy con-. 1 sumption of mash, during the day.. ■ Corn should bo fed In the evening. I giving practically as much as the, ' ens will dean up, depending upon the | breed. Ah a ageneral rule twice as. much grain as mash should be used 1 The mineral part of the ration can. be given in the form of oyster shells ami other forms of grit. It is needless to say that if pullets . were fed a sufficient amount of good growing fed during the summer and' the above ration during the fall there would not now be so many immature I .ones which will not produce eggs un- ' I til they have declined in price. There is no excuse for well-fed pullets not laying at from 5 to 7 months of age, depending upon the breed. As PEOPLE OVER FORTY People aged forty or over are less sbls to resist the attacks of colds, grippe, influenza or pneumonia than young people. Their vital force lacks the powerful resistance of youth. Constipated bowels, sour stomach, indigestion, biliousness and weak kidneys all tend to lower the physical resistance. Millions of people now use Bulgarian Herb Tea to keep the bowels open and Improve the hlood. Bui garlan Herb Tea taken steaming hot will help break up a cold quickly. Physicians and druggists everywhere recommend It. I

n general rule, pullets of the larger ■ breeds as Plymouth Hocks or Rhode Island Reds should he giving from 10 to to per cent egg production at 7
