Later, whon the others had loft

Snbron roso and came over to

Whon ho returns to tho world, ho

fie mado an oxprosslvo gesture which
moro Imprcsslvoly than words Implied
liow completely ho laid down every

Ho said, not without a certain dig

Tho American girl listened to him
with profound omotlon. Sho discov
ered overy second how well she un
derstood him, nnd ho had much to

had ovor spoken to hor of his lovo.
Sho hnd put out both hor hands nnd.
looking at him fully, said simply:
"Why it seems to mo you must
utiqw how I fool how can you help
Imowing how 1 fool?"
After a littlo ho told hor of Nor

how ho hnd watchod the ships and
used to dream of tho countries be

to go back, and that his wandering

Julia whispered: "Wo shall go thero

Ho was chnrming nu lie sat thoro
holding hor hands closely, his flno

things that had boon deep in his
heart and mind, waiting for hor hero
no many months. Finally, everything
morgod Into his present life, nnd tho
Uioauty of what ho said dazed her llko

"It in spring now, my lovo."

LITTLE HINTS FOR POULTRY
Watch Chicks Closely and Save Those
Making Most Satisfactory Growth
Keep Them Busy.
ray MRS. O. W. IIANDLETT, North
Dakota Experiment Station.)
Human sympathy to tho bird's com
fort amounts to dollars and cents.
Clenn tho nests occasionally and
put in a fresh supply of nest material.
Uniform nest boxes add to the at
tractiveness of tho house.
White diarrhea is contagious among
young chicks.
The purchnso of a few baby chicks
from somo flno pen of birds will mnko
a splendid start if you care to start
In June.
If your breeding pons wore proper
ly bred and mated you need not be
surprised to find somo of tho chlckenB
developing Into finer specimens than
their pnrents.
Watch tho chicks cloBcly and mark
tho ones making the most satisfactory
growth. Select tho ones that aro
plump, full-breasted and In good pro
portion. You will not enro to keop
those that grow leggy and have thin
breasts.
Never, under any circumstances,
keep moro birds than you can take
care of well.
Green food is necessary for all ages
of poultry, but doubly bo for tho littlo
chicks. Water and green food aro
cheap and vory Important.
Ho sure tho baby chicks havo plenty
of exercise. Keep them busy and
hungry.
Keep tho hopper full of dry mash
nil of the time. This gives tho chick
ens an opportunity to balance tho
grain rations fed.
Romembor, full-fed chicks aro pay
ing chicks. It pays big dividends to
hurry their growth.
Always practice absoluto cleanli
ness In feeding.
Cull tho flock closely. Keep tho
best nnd prepare tho rest for market.
Enrich tho garden plot with tho
poultry droppings.
Constant thought and judgment aro
necessary in poultry raising.
YELLOW COLORING IN SHANKS
Has Not Yet Been Proved That It
Means Hen lo Equipped to Lay
More Eggs Than Others.
Many believe that a cow that has
yellow skin will glvo richer milk than
will ono that has a white skin. But
how about a hen with tho yellow
BhankB of thnt color laying tho most
eggs? At tho Maine station It has been
found that tho coloring matter which
gives tho yellow color to a hon's
Red Sussex Hen.
shanks is tho samo as that which
gives tho color to the yolks of the
eggs, and that tho shanks of a good
layer will ho much lighter in color at
the end of hor laying period than when
Bho began.
So it looks llko tho coloring matter
in tho shanks hns been used to color
tho yolks of tho eggs. It hasn't been
proved yet that a lot of yellow color
ing in tho shanks means that tho hen
is equipped to, lay a lot of eggs, nnd
how about thoso that havo white, black
or bluo shanks? But mnybo something
will bo worked out from this coloring
matter business that will help us to
know good layers.
DIARRHEA FATAL TO CHICKS
One of Most Common Causes of Mor
tality Disease Can Be Prevented
by Proper Feeding.
Ono of tho most common causes
of chick mortality is whito diarrhea.
Whllo It has been established that this
dlscaso Is usually communicated to
tho chick hoforo it is hatched, it has
also bcon established that tho dls
caso can bo hold In check and even
provontod by proper feeding.
Tho organisms that causo whito
diarrhea aro killed by weak acids. For
this reason sour milk can well bo
mado a part of tho chicks' rations for
the first few days. Either moisten
tho food with it, or set in shallow
drinking pans. In addition, however,
do not neglect to supply plenty of
clean, puro drinking water.

It takes the highest type of nerve
and endurance to stand the strain at
the battle front of modern business.
Many fail. And often the cause
is primarily a physical one improper
food malnutrition. It is a fact that
much of the ordinary food is lacking
in certain elements the mineral salts
which are essential to right building
of muscle, brain and nerve tissue.

Grape-Nuts food is easy to digest nourishing economical delicious, and

WILL AEROPLANES STOP WAR
Orvllle Wright Is Moved to Say He
Likes to Think So,
Anyhow.
Did you ever stop to think that
there Is a vory dellnlto reason why tho
present war In Europe has dragged
nlong for a yenr with neither sldo
gaining much ndvantago over tho
other? Tho reason, ns I figure It out,
is aeroplanes, Orvlllo Wright writes
In Collier's. In consequenco of tho
scouting work done by tho flying ma
chines, each side knows exactly what
tho opposition forces nro doing.
Thero is littlo chanco for ono army
to take another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massing his troops at un
expected places. Tho aeroplane hus
mado that impossible. It has equal
ized information. Each sldo has such
complete knowlcdgo of tho other's
movements thnt both sides are obliged
to crawl Into trenches and light by
means of slow, tedious routine rather
than by quick, spectacular dashes.
My Impression Is that before the
present war started tho ar.my experts
expected It to bo a matter of a few
weeks or, at most, a few months. Today
It looks as If it might run into years
before ono side can dlctnte terms.
Now, a nation that may bo willing to
undertnko a war lasting a few months
may well hesltnto about engaging in
one that will occupy years.
The dally cost of a great war Is of
course stupendous. When this cost
runs on for years the totul is likely to
bo so great that the side which wins
nevertheless loses. War will become
prohibitively expensive. And the
scouting work In flying machines will
bo tho predominating factor, as it
seems to mo, in bringing this about.
I like to think so, anyhow.
