Mgnffil DTejmß& Tell Your Children the Truth of Life By KliliA WHKKLER WIIA'OX ■ Again let it be urged that parents talk with their small children on the sub jects which lead to, or away from, mor ality and physical health. It is rank folly to declare your child so angelic and Innocent that it Is immune from dan ger. Human nature is its own menace, when not guided by wise affection over the perilous paths of youth! Take your little son. sir and madam, when he is able to understand simple | language, and tell him about the flow- j ers; how they grow, bud, blossom and bear fruit. Take your little girl of the i same age, and let her listen to what | you have to say on this topic; but talk to them separately. In order that j they may feel how sacred the subject Is, and that you are the only confi dantes they are to have in this mat ter. Impress upon them the idea that the plant needs to be carefully tended, and gently used, or it will never carry out its mission; that the bud and blossom will be blighted by careless handling, and the fruit spoiled. Then make them understand that their bod ies are plants, which the great Crea tor Intends for the same process. Say to them, "All this knowledge about the flowers you will study and obtain gradually as you grow older and your mind develops; and In the same way you will learn the wonder ful, majesUc truths of the human family. "All that you can know now is the sacredness of your body and the need to keep it clean, in good health, and pure. "If anyone ever approaches you to talk on this subject in any rough man ner, or to suggest your listening to any information which your parents might not hear, or if anyone attempts i any familiarity toward you which you I LAST CHANCE TO ENROLL Extension School of Accounts and Finance UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA Can You Afford to Miss This Opportunity of Greater Efficiency.

Never take gifts, or bonbons, or flowers, or toys from anyone you do not know; never walk into secluded places or vacant houses with anyone save your parents or other relatives. It is an evidence of a lack of proper bringing up to do such things; ana never permit anyone to talk to you on these subjects save your parents. As your mind unfolds we will explain all life's mysteries to you." Children who have been reared in this wise and judicious manner will not be victims to the monsters In hu man form who so frequently pursue the innocent and Immature; and young boys who are so tenderly Instructed by considerate and sensible parents will not develop abnormal tendencies or become a menace tp society. Almost any child is in danger of be ing harmed mentally or physically through ignorance, which is for Innocence by most parents. It is appalling to know of the number of cases where young, unformed minds have been smirched by evil communi cations, and where even serious physi cal disasters have befallen children through the lack of parental fore thought and prevention. It is appalling to know how many young boys have distorted minds through the same cause; lack of par ental Instruction; and the last people to know of the wrong thoughts and actions of these boys are the parents themselves. And even with the strong est proof the parents often refuse to believe the unpleasant facts when they are confronted with them. One schoolmaster in New Jersey was almost driven from the commun ity recently because he went in a kindly spirit to talk confidentially w-lth parents regarding the behavior of their boys. Do not add yourself, my dear sir or madam, to the long list of such parents. Become the friend and con fidant and instructor of your little human plants, and prepare the fallow ground for their growing and rich I maturity. THE LAST SHOT By FREDERICK PALMER Copyright. 1814, by Charlea Scrlbner'a Sou. [Continued.] 'ln the L. igratulatlona after the position was taken last night," he declared, "I confess that I was thinking lees of success than of Ita source." He bent W her a look that was warm with gratitude. She lowered her lashes before It; before gratitude that made her part appear in a fresh angle of misery. "There seems to be a kind of fa tality about our relations," he went on. "I lay awake pondering it last night" His tone held more than gratitude. It had the elation of discovery. "He Is going to make it harder than I ever guessed!" echoed her own thought, in a flutter of confusion. "Yes, It was strange our meeting on the frontier In peace and then In war!" she exclaimed at random. The sound of the remark struck her as too sub dued; as expectant, when her purpose ■was one of careless deprecation. "I have met a great many women, as you may have imagined," he pro ceeded. "They have passed in review. They were simply women, witty and frail or dull and beautiful, and one meant no more to me than another. Nothing meant anything to me except my profession. But I never forgot you. You planted something In mind: a memory of real companionship." "Yes, I made the prophecy that eame true!" she put in. This ought to bring him back to himself and his ambitions, she thought. "Yes!" he exclaimed, his body stif fening free of the bßck of the seat. "You realized what was in me. You foresaw the power which was to be mine. The fate that first brought us together made me look you up In the capital. Now It brings us together here on this bench after all that has passed In the last twenty-four hours." She realized that he had drawn per ceptibly nearer. She wanted to rise and cry out: "Don't do this! Be the chief of staff, the conqueror, crushing the earth with the tread of five against three I" It was the conqueror whom she wanted to trick, not ajnan whose earnestness was painting her deceit blacker. Far from rising, she made no movement at all; only looked at her hands and allowed him to go on, con scious of the force of a personality that mastered men and armies now -warm and appealing in th« full tide of another purpose. "The victory that I was thinking of last night was not the taking of Bot«» dir. It was finer than any victory la war. It was selfish—not for army and country, but born of a human 'weakness triumphant; a human weak ness of which my career had robbed me," he continued. "It gave me a Joy that even the occupation of the Browns' capital could not give. I had come as an Invader and I had won your confidence." "In a causel" she Interrupted hur riedly, wildly, to etop him from going further, only to find that her Intona tion was euch that it was drawing him on. "That fatality seamed to he working Itself out to the soldier so much older than yourself in renewed youth, in another form of ambition. I hoped that there was more than the cause that led you to trust me. I hoped— * Was he testing her? Was he play ing a part of his own to make certain that she was not playing one? She looked up swiftly for answer. There no gainsaying what she saw in his eyes. It was beating into hers ■with the power of an overwhelming masculine passion and a maturity of intellect as his egoism admitted a com rade to its throne. Such Is ever the way of a man in the forties when the clock strikes for him. But who could know better the craft of courtship than one of Westerllng's experiencei He was fighting for victory; to gratify a desire. '1 did not expect this—l—" the words escaped tumultuously and chok ingly. He was bending so close to her that ■he felt his breath on her cheek burn ing hot, and she was slckenlngly con scious that he was looking her over In that point-by-point manner which she had felt across the tea-table at the hotel. This horrible thing in his glance she had sometimes seen in strangers on her travels, and it had made her think that she was wise to carry a little revolver. Bhe wanted to strike him. "Confess! Confess!" called all her own self-respect "Make an end to your abasement!" "Confession, after the Browns have given up Bordir! Confession that makes Lanny, not Westerling, your dupe!" came the reply, which might have been telegraphed into her mind from the high, white forehead of Par tow bending over his maps. "Confes sion, betraying the cause of the right against the wrong; the three to the conquering five! No! You are in the thing. You may not retreat now." For a few seconds only the duel of argument thundered in her temples —seconds In which her lips were part ed and quivering and her eyes dilated with an agitation which the man at her side could Interpret as he pleased. A prompting devil—a devil roused by that thing in hi? ey6B—urging a finesse in double-dealing which only devils understand, made her lips hyp notically turn in a smile, her eyes soften, and sent her hand out to Wes terling in a trancelike gesture. For an Instant it rested on bi& arm with tell ing pressure, though she felt It burn shame at the point of contact. "We must not think of that now," she said. "We muet think of nothing personal; of nothing but your work until your work is done!" The prompting devil had not permit ted a false note in h-r voice. Her very pallor, in fixity of idea, served her purpose Westerling dr«w a Ueep breath that seemed to expand his whole being with greater appreciation of her. Yet that harried hunger, the hunger of a beast was still in his glance. "This Is like you—like what I want you to be!" he said. "You are right." He caught her hand, inclosing It en tirely in his grip, and she was sen sible, In a kind of dazed horror, of the thrill of his strength. "Nothing can stop us! Numbers will win! Hard fighting in the mercy of a quick end!" he declared with his old rigidity of five against three which was welcome to her. "Then," he added "and then—" I "Then!" she repeated, averting her glance. "Then—" There the devil ended the sentence and she withdrew her hand and felt the relief of one es caping suffocation, to find that he had realized that anything further during that Interview would be banality and was rising to go. i "I don't feel decent!" she thought. "Society turned on Minna for a hu j man weakness, hut I —l'm not a human ; being! lam one of the pawns of the machine of war!" Walking slowly with lowered head as sh& left the arbor, ehe almost ran into Bouchard, who apologized with the single word "Pardon!" as he lifted "I'm Not a Human Being." hia cap In overdone courtesy, which his stolid brevity made the more con spicuous. "Miss Galland, you seem lost In ab straction," he said in sudden loquac ity. "I am almost on the point of accuelng you of being a poet." "Accusing!" she replied. "Then you must think that I would write bad poetry." "On the contrary, I should say ex cellent—using the sonnet form," he re turned. "I might make a counter accusa tion, only that yours would be the epic form," answered Marta. Tor you, too, seem fond of rambling." There was a veiled challenge In the hawk eyes, which she met with com monplace politeness in hers, before be again lifted his cap and proceeded on hie way. • ••••• • For the next two weeks Marta's role resolved itself into a kind of routine. Their cramped quarters became a refuge to Marta in the trial of her secret work under the very nose of the staff. With little Clarissa Eileen, they formed the only feminine society in the neighborhood. On sunshiny days Mrs. Galland was usually to be found in her favorite chair outside the tower door; and hero Minna set the urn on a table at four-thirty as in the old days. No member of the staff was more frequently present at Marta's teas than Bouchard, who was developing his social Instinct late in life by sit ting in the background and allowing others to do the talking while he Watched and listened. In his hearing. Marta's attitude toward the progress of the war was sympathetic but never Interrogatory, while she shared atten tion with Clarissa Eileen, who was iu danger of becoming spoiled by officers who had children of their own at home. After the reports of killed and wound ed, which came with such appalling regularity, it was a relief to hear of the day's casualties among Clarissa's dolls. The chief of transportation and supply rode her on his shoulder; the chief of tactics played hide-and seek with her; tlie chief engineer built her a doll house of stones with his own hands; and the chief medical officer was as concerned when she caught cold as if the health of the army were at stake. "We mustn't get too set up over all this attention, Clarissa Eileen, my ri val," said Marta to the child. "You are the only little girl and I* am the only big girl within reach.

Many poultrymen are showing an inclination to sell off their flocks, believing that the high price of feed warrants such a course. The conditions which poultry keep ers now face do call for careful cal culations, and never before was it so important that in the bookkeeping there should be an account for each individual layer instead of a single account for the entire flock. In other words, feed is very high in price, and it behooves the poultry keeper to know without a doubt which of his hens are paying a profit and which are not. There are hens in every flock that are poor layers. There arc some that will lay no eggs at all and others that will lay indifferently. The trap nest is the only dependable means by which any poultry keeper can spot the loafer, but the trap nest is not practical in a great majority of cases. One who makes a study of his hens can in a short time pretty nearly tell whto Is who in his flock. The active fowl is pretty sure to be a good busi ness hen. The big eater, as a rule, is a good layer; a bird that consumes but little food cannot possibly be a heavy layer. In the evening go over the flock and feel the crop of each bird. Regard with suspicion the bird the crop of which is not well packed, if there has been ample opportunity for it to be otherwise. Layers with pelvic bones set wide apart are apt to be prolific. An ex treme distance between these bones is tho width of three Angers; when the distance is less than the width of two fingers, the bird should be classed with the suspects. By making the most of one's flock poultry keeping is apt to be more profitable this winter than ever be fore, notwithstanding the high price of feed. The price of eggs will un doubtedly bear a close relation to the price of feed. Even the fancier need not fear that his business of produc ing exhibition stock will be less profit able than formerly. * The supply of breeding stock and eggs for hatching will be short next season and his cus tomers will have to help take care of the increase in the cost of feed. Supply Markets With Only Good-sized Eggs Respecting the size of eggs, it should be the aim of the poultry farmer to supply the markets with only those of good size. A little more attention might he given to the selection of breeding stock with a view to per petuating the good-sized egg trait in the future generations. With the use of the trap nest the task oi produc ing a flock capable of laying eggs weighing two ounces and over could easily be accomplished. Eggs of good size and uniformity will alone com mand a price calculated to make com mercial egg production highly -profit able. By the aid of the trap nest and a pair of scales it won't take the poultryman long to spot the hens that produce the good-sized eggs, and to cull out from the flock those birds laying eggs below the size stanadrd sought. If the birds that produce the choicest eggs are mated to males bred from layers of good-sized eees, the progeny, if well reared and rightly fed, will in turn produce good-sized eggs. "Penroseism" Term of Which to Be Proud, Manufacturer Asserts Greensburg, Pa., Oct. 10.—Promi nent manufacturers in Westmoreland county held a meeting this afternoon in the armory and formed a West moreland county branch of the Penn j svlvania Protective Union by the elec -1 lion of J. J. Smith, president, McKee ' Glass Company, of Jeannette, as chair j man. i A statement signed by eighty-seven | manufacturers was read and formally | approved by the meeting. Chairman | Smith read a speech of acceptance, in I which he suid that the object of the organization was to work for the restoration of protective tariff policies and the election of protectionist can didates to both branches of Congress. !He warmly endorsed the record of United States Senator Penrose and declared that it was of the utmost importance to businessmen all over the country that Mr. Penrose should be returned to Washington and that congressional candidates pledged to his protective tariff views should be sent to the national House of Repre ! sentatives. "The word 'Penroseism'." said Mr. , Smith, "seems to me to he a very subtle compliment to our senior sen . ator. It was not intended to be so, of , course, hut when you stop to think i that 'Penroseism' means the things that Senator Penrose stands for and • has stood for in the past, and when , you remember that these are the : things which have made Pennsylvania Rrent, there is certainly nc reason to , blush for the fact that we are now banding ourf.elves together to demand continuance of 'Penroseism'." FRITCHEY PEN WELL UP 111 EGG CONTEST Strong Finish and No Deaths Speak l Well For Sturdiness of His Stock The third international egg-layingj contest at Storrs, Connecticut, will 1 come to a close on the last day of this 1 month and it now looks as if the finish j will be exciting. At the close of the | forty-eighth week three pens of ten j hens each had made records as fol- I lows: White Leghorns, owned by j Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Carmel, Mt. i Carmel, Conn., 2.008 eggs; White: Leghorns, owned by Storrs Agricul- j tural College, 1,986 eggs; White! Wyandottes, owned by Tom Barron, ' England, 1,970 eggs. Within the | forty-eighth week these pens pro- I duced, respectively, 31 eggs, 25 eggs j and 41 eggs. The English birds were 38 eggs behind the leaders, but If the | present pace is unchanged in the four j weeks yet to be reported the English birds will nose out with a lead of two : eggs. American breeders are naturally i anxious to see the American birds j win; If they do win, it will be the! first time in the history of egg-laying j competitions. There are twenty-six hens compet- | ing that have laid over 200 eggs each, i The highest individual to date I has been made by an American White | Wyandotte, 24 3 eggs having been credited to her account. Of these twenty-six high producers, just half are White Leghorns and six White Wyandottes, but note please, that there are 33 pens of the former com peting, while there are only Ave pens of White Wyandottes. The Rhode Island Reds of Dr. John A. Fritchey, of this city, stand twen tieth in the list of eighty-two pens and at present they are going at a merry clip with good chances of bet tering their position. One of the Fritchey hens belong to four Indi viduals that distinguished themselves in the forty-eighth week, by laying an egg every day in the week. There have been no deaths in Dr. Fritchey's pen during the year while some pens j have lost as many as five birds. A strong finish and no deaths speak well for the sturdiness of the stock. Various Good Formulas For Fattening Fowls; There are various good formulas for fattening fowls in crates or small yards, such feeds as are at hand be ing usually used. Two parts of finely ground oats, two parts of ground buckwheat and one part of cornmeal, mixed with sour milk to the consist ency of batter has been recommended by the Ontario Agricultural College as a very desirable fattening ration. Equal parts of cornmeal, middlings and buckwheat meal, likewise mixed with milk, is also a very good ration. Qrit should be given the fowls at leMt once a week. The more ground grains used the better the results, and it has also been found desirable to mix the grains with the milk twelve hours be fore feeding. Where milk is not avail able. beef scrap or meat meal may ho substituted in the proportion of not more than 15 per cent, of the whole, and water used to wet the mash, but milk gives better results.
