He is a patriot who makes two
all-wool lambs grow where one
grew before.
Maybe they call him "imperial
chancellor" because he has to take
so many chances.
The present crisis suggests that
Thomas A. Edison’s habits of
sleepless industry will be found
more valuable than he expected.
Whenever a couple, of which the
husband is about half the size of

Congress wants to usurp a part
of the president’s authority in run
ning the war. It is the duty of
congress to pass laws, and the
’-resident is the one to execute

vour duty half as well as the presi

LIBERTY BONDS AND SAVINGS.
The habit of thrift has been so
greatly encouraged in America by
the Liberty Loan Bonds which ap
pealed strongly to patriotism and
a', the same time furnished such a
splendid opportunity for saving,
that it is believed that an era of
economy and saving has been well
begun in this nation.
The American people are now
thoroughly informed in the matter
of government bonds and it seems
the consensus of opinion of author
tit s on such matters that the next
Liberty Bond issue will sell more
readily than the two billion dollar
issue which has just been over
subscribed fifty per cent. Thrift
j jins with patriotism and humanity
t' make the next issue a success.
The opinion is also expressed
that the savings banks deposits in
till; county will grow as this habit
of thrift grows. The small pur
chasers of Liberty Loan Bonds did
not pay for their bonds with money
drawn from savings banks, but are
now paying for them out of new
savings, and the habit of thrift thus
trought about will increase sayings
banks deposits.
1'his has been the experience of
England; Great Britain has sold
sin:e the war began over ten bill
ion dollars in war bonds to her citi
zens, yet the savings banks depos
its in England and Wales alone in
creised sixty millions in 1916.
The first issue of Liberty Loan
Bo ids is not only as President
Wihonsays “America’s endorse
ment of our entry into the war;'’ it
is evidence of our financial strength
and our nation’s solidarity and pa
triotism and also of American thrift.

Health: Keystone of the Arch of Genuine
Preparedness
By DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON, Commiuioiier of Health of PeniuylYania
The perfect manifestations of life can only be had with a harmo
nious performance of all the functions of the body. This is so from the
loMrest forms of life up to the complex and wonderful creation of man.
Now when we are confronted with war and its accumulated horrors,
we must use every effort to throw off the insidious hold it gradually gets
upon our nervous systems, destroying the harmoniousness of the vast
number of active little cells that go to make up our physical and mental
bodies.
If the balance and harmony are once destroyed, our digestion weak
ens and this robs the body of nourishment, which is followed by general
loss of strength. The heart muscles consequently suffer and weaken, and
when this pump fails to send the exhausted blood cells through the lungs
for purification and recharging, the physiological process fails in its
purpose.
The break-up of the general balance and narfnonv causes the body
to lose its resistance to disease germs. The result is general weakening
of the individual, and often death, neither of which we can afford at any
time, let alone in time of war, when every preventable measure must be
: taken to guard against the inroad of disease.
Today we cannot help but feel our great responsibilities and make
sacrifices for that which has given us our national pride and freedom.
We most, however, at the same time be careful not to break up unneces
sarily the harmony of our social and other every-day occupations.
The greatest measure to help us carry our burden during war is
to keep busy in some well-directed path of work that will produce those
things most essential to a successful warfare and turn our minds from
those horrors that otherwise would break up our nervous force.
If war becomes long-continued, it may be that a revolutionary state
may occur, where our occupations will have to be changed: giving up the
easier ones to the weak, and shifting those that are more laborious to the
strong. These changes, howevw, at the present time can be effected more
easily than ever before in the history of the world, because of the many
kinds of modern occupations which permit of selection to accommodate
those of different capabilities. Whatever may be the disturbance, we must
keep busy. We must not think too much of “what might happen” and
keep it ever before us, destroying that balance and harmony necessary
for health.
Be sure that all the brood and roost
ing crops have water-tight roofs and
are In good condition generally for
the season’s work.
Be careful not to feed anything mus
ty or moldy to the poultry, especially
the youngsters, because mold spores
cause conker and digestive troubles.
Remember to protect the early
chicks, ducklings, etc., from dampness
and chilling winds, for chills and re
sulting digestive troubles will cause
trouble and losses.
When tho nest of a sitting hen Is
fouled by breaking eggs or otherwise,
take out the soiled material and put in
fresh, clean straw or hay and wash the
eggs In warm water.
There Is no better food for little
ducklings for the first three or four
days than bread moistened with milk,
in which a little fine grit and a little
finely granulated charcoal Is mixed.
If there are two males running In
the same flock and they do not agree,
It is best to keep one shut up one day
and the other the next, so that only
one accompanies the flock at one time.
Always keep a supply of head-lice
ointment on hand n*d use It occasion
ally to protect the little chicks from
these destructive pests. Head-lice oint
ment can be bought from most poultry
supply dealers.
A good feed for little chicks is john
nycake baked hard and /ed dry. The
infertile eggs from the Incubator or
from under the hen, If they have been
kept In a cool place, can be mixed In
this cake before It Is haked.
In feeding any kind of poultry,
young or old, never give more nt one
feeding than will be eaten up In a few
minutes, except when grain Is fed In
the litter, and in that case no more
should be given than they will work
hard to scratch out.
When hatching eggs In an Incubator,
those that are marked to Indicate cer
tain matings or certain parentage may
be placed In small, covered, wire boxes
or baskets at the time of the last turn
ing, so that the record may be kept
complete.
In order to get the test results In
! hatching eg^ from ducks, the breeders
must be fed some meat food Most
duck raisers prefer high-grade beef
scraps, which can he mixed In the
mash and make about 10 per cent of
the mixture, sometimes more.
