UBOft LEADERS TALK

-Speaker Says Workingmen Want a ieligion That Is Alive, and Ihat

•f Church Must Awake. 1

A regular meeting of the Men's Tfagne of the Centenary Methodist vhwrcik Ivild Friday evening. After the members gathered a dinner •was served by the women of the church, this was followed by several talks and the remainder of the evening was spent in a social session. Music was furnished by the Sunday-fchool orchetra.

George Kisner presided at the Meeting. He said that the meeting was to develop a friendly spirit among P^h" men of the flwi rch and define the ^t'nurch as an institution deeply inter(l csted in labor and the social welfare of the world. Mr. Kisner then read the social creed' of the Methodist church.

V David J. Williams, third vice presldrnt of flic State Federation of Labor, and William Mitch, secretary-treas-urer of the District No. 11, U. M. W. A., were introduced and gave short talks tending to show the importance of bringing about a closer relationship between the church and workers.

Mr. Williams told of one experience where We attended a church for 18 months and did not get a single handshake, arid said that the working .man wanted a religion"that was alive, ,ard not all long face. In speaking of the workers he said: "Working men are getting better. They are educating themselves and their children. Their ..•-.associations tend to eucourage temperance and Christianity. Where they once spent all their wages now many have learned to save and now own their own hoirifes. Organized labor is educating in making progress.™

Unrest With Labor.

Mr. Mitch spoke of the present unrest in the ranks of labor and said that the leaders were striving to quiet •this feeling. He said that one great trouble was that too often men do not go beyond their own craft and recognize the rights of others. ^The war could not have been won

Tthout labor," said Mr. Mitch. "Nothing could be achieved without labor. I jam proud that the social creed of my church stands for the rights of labor to organize. Organized labor is the only way to give better opportunities to workers and children. Communities hav© a better type of manhood and womanhood where labor is able to organize. "Labor Is awake. It must have enough to maintain a decent standard of living. Will not lower it without protest. One reason that labor is not closer to the church is that a great per cent of workers is foreign born. These people come from lands of state ruled church where the church is used to perpetuate autocracy* "Business knows it IS "safe td #sa! with organized labor. Many of the employers want to do the right thing by their employes and they can do it in the organized field. I know that the operators in the Indiana coal field would not return to dealing with unorganized workers. i "Men of the church must wake up and tiy to do that for the church which will Jmprovfe its reputation among people outside. When a man shoWs a determination to get into tho ^church make him welcome. We in ^^rnerica are going to meet the big /problems in all fairness and. make this y an united nation."

Too many poultrv stories read like fairy tales in which Aladdin is often represented as rubbing his magical lamp and converting poultry poverty into flock prosperity. Unlike such warping of the truth, this is 4he story of an actual experience of a backyard poultryman who was^rtot able to buy an automobile from his flock profits, but who did furnish fresh, nutritious food and an abundance of it for his family table, ii^ addition to enjoying his work.

The attractive and serviceable poultry house designed and constructed by this suburbanite cost less than $100 when it was completed in 1914. It has a concrete floor, roosts, trap nests, a water system, and other hen house accessories. It is a pleasure to look at this henhouse, Which would be really ornamental to the backyard ot any thrifty American.

The building is 12 by 18 feet, and is divided into three pens with an aisle at one end. The house is 7^ feet high from the floor to the front eaves and 6 feet at the back. Yellok-pine drop siding of medium quality was used for sheathing and roofing purposes, the latter being overlaid with prepared, stone-surface, asphalt roofing. Adjoining the house, with direct access to it, are four pens, one of which is u{?ed for small chickens, being enclosed with one-inch mesh chicken wire. i

Plenty of Light From Windows. The windows are an attractive feature of this house. They cost complete $1.50 apiece, those at the side being bungalow windows of large and odd size which the dealer was glad to get rid of. The front windows can be opened both at the top and bottom for ventilation. The side windows, which help to provide free circulation of air, are practically weather-proof, as they are hinged at the bottom and swing inward. The material for the floor of this house cost $12, the owner laying the concrete floor during the evenings by aid ofan oil lantern.

To begin with, this poultryman had only 15 hens, while his capacity record has been 60 mature hens and pullets. A novel feature of his poultry operations was the maintenance of a number of Belgian hareg which he raised for meat. One pen in the chicken

CAMPERS' CHIGGEBS MAY ATTACK FARM CHICKENS

Chiggers, harvest mites, or "red bugs," which so frequently annoy campers by the intense itching they produce, may also attack fowls. Young chickens having a free range, especially if it includes low-lying land, are the most liable to suffer from these parasites. The mites penetrate the skin, causing an intense itching, and abscesses may be found where clusters of mites are feeding. These abscesses are sometimes a third of an inch in diameter, surrounded by an area of inflammation. The birds become droopy, refuse to eat, and may die from hunger and exhaustion.

If an abscess? has not yet formed the inflamed area may be treated with sulphur ointment, Peruvian balsam, or a mixture of one part of kerosene oil with three parts of lard. If suppuration has occurred the scab should be removed and the area washed with 4 per cent carbolic acid solution. Frequent light dusting with flowers of sulphur will keep the chickens from becoming infested. In tne southern and central states, where harvest mites are most numerous, it is often necessary to keep young chickens off the range in summert In these sections it is a good plan to hatch the chickens early in tho spring, so that when the warm weather comes, in which the mites are mpst abundant, the birds wiU be old enough to resist their attacks.

US£ ASHES FOE LICK

Tho free use of an effective lice powder is always advisable. A dust bath, consisting of road dust and wood ashes, is essential in ridding fowls of lice. Sodium fluorid, a white powder which can be obtained from druggists, is also effective. Apply a pinch of the powder at the base of the feathers on the head, neck, back, breast, below the vent, base of tail, both thighs, and on the underside of each wing.

IT IS ALL GONE NOW. Samuel L. Kramer, box 95, Sellersville, Pa., writes: "I had kidney trouble for two years and had a terrible backache. That is all gone now after using Foley Kidney Pills and I feel well again." When the kidneys are overworked, weak or diseased the waste matter remains in the System and causes pains in side or back rheumatism lumbago stiff joints sore muscles, back che. Foley Kidney Pills get results quickly and are tonic in their healing and soothing effect. Good for bladder trouble too. Sold everywhere. —-Advertisement.

NO GREAT RICHES, BUT FOOD IN PLENTY FROM BACKYARD POULTRY

How a Suburban Resident Built a Hen Shelter That Was An 'Ornament, Also Babbits Maintained, Too, Converting Waste Into Food At Small Outlay.

UOW POULTRY WAS /LOMUIX ED WITH BACKYARD BEAUTY.

house was equipped with 4 rabbit hutches designed according to the directions of the United" States department of agriculture. In the main he raised Belgian hares only during the fall, winter and early spring up to the time of the setting "season, when the space occupied by the rabbits was needed by the hens. Then he would reduce his rabbitry to the minimum point. In this way the rabbit quarters provided plenty of space, by the use of partitions, for six or more setting hens at a time. Aftef the hatching season the owner would place the broody hens In the same pen with several rabbits, as the presence and hopping about of the habbits would ultimately break the hens of their broodiness.

Rabbits Cost Little To Keep. The remarkable thing about these rabbit-raising operations was that valuable food wag produced from weeds and waste, as practically the only feed for the rabbits was grass clippings, wild hay and weeds. During the young bearing season he would feed the does a little skim milk and a small amount of oats, but never morp than one quart of oats a week. In me course of two years ne raised and ate about 75 rabbits, weighing an average of two pounds apiece. All this moat was produced as a by-prod-uct of his poultry operations with small expense or trouble.

Another desirable point about the rabbits was that they required little case as compared with poultry. The rabbits were fed at any time of the day or night with satisfactory results. "It is a comparatively simple'matter to kill and dress two rabbits in ten minutes," remarked the suburbanite, "but I never was able to pick and dress a single chicken in less than double that period. My family did not tire of the rabbits, because, as a rule, we alternated the rabbit flesh with chicken and other fresh meats. The profits which I realized from my poultry and rabbit operations car^e entirely from the BelgiaA hares, as my White Plymouth Rocks only about paid expenses, since I had to purchase practically all my feed for them. However it is a great convenience for a suburbanite to have on hand two sources of fresh meat in addition to a plentiful supply of fresh eggs.**

LIMBERNECK A SYMPTOM OF SEVERAL FOWL ILLS

The condition known as limberneck is in reality not a disease, but is a symptom of several diseases which are characterized by a paralysis of the muscles of the neck, which makes it impossible for the bird to raise its head from the ground. This condition is due to the absorption of poisons from the intestines, which act upon the nervous system and cause paralysis. It is generally associated with indigestion or the eating of moldy grain or putrid meat or with intestinal worms.

The best treatment Is to give a full dose of purgative medicine—that is, 50 or 60 grains of Bpsom salt or 3 or 4 tefispoonfuls of castor oil for a grown fowl. Often the birds will be cured within 24 hours. In case they are not better within 3 or 4 days it is not advisable to keep them.

TTEGffi A CITY FOOD BUREAU.

Chicago Aldermen Sponsor Plan to Reduce the Cost of Living. A bureau to superintend the production and distribution of food in the city has been proposed to the Chicago board of aldermen. Such a bureau, its sponsors say, would not cost more than $25,000 or $30,000 to operate, and would save consumers of the city many thousands of dollars every year in the economies in the purchase of foodstuffs it would make possible.

I did not know that pretty things could be so comfortable to have around until I found Letty."

Letty is quite the prettiest thing you have around, Dad," I said. Theo could not keep still any longer and he spoke up. "Did you not see your daughter-in-law, Commissioner, when you got out of your machine? She, too, is prettier than ever.'' "Yes, I saw her," answered my father, quietly. "Teil me, what is the matter," said Theo. "Margot will hardly speak to her. and you, sir, whom I have always thought very fair-minded, absolutely ignore this little woman.

Dad clinched his hands on the arm of his chair. Letty moved over to hi£i and laid a cool hand on one of his.

For a moment there was a silence and then he said, "Theo, my boy, I do not want to speak to that woman nor of her. I have sworn an oath to keep silent about her. She* and she only, reconciles me to the death of my son. I know he has cscaped so much unhappiness."

With that he got up heavily and kissed me good-bye, shook hands with Theo and left.

Theo came back and said not a word. I had determined in my own mind to tell him the whole story if he gave me a chance, but at this time he did not do it.

Instead he sat moodily down at the window and began to read. Finally, when I was feeling I could not stand his silence any longer, Robert came in. I
