Every pullet and young hen sold for food this winter means a reduction of from five to twelve dozen eggs in the potential egg supply of next spring and sum mer. Hundreds of thousands of far mers who have not raised poultry will do so next spring and su m m er -responding to the demand for more chiokens and eggs as that beef and pork will be released to help Win the War. They will seed young hens. The United States Department of Agriculture urges the saving of fowls of producing qualities, so that they may be nsed for steck in the early spring. . WHY HATCH EARLY. Chickens hatched early in the spring are large in the summer, nature early in the fall, and lay eggs in the winter. They will sit early the following spring, produce earlier chickens and the process will be repeated by the off spring. ' But the chickens hatch. vl :ai in the t-priog will not nulu: until 1 it. i in the fall so late that they will not lay in the winter. They wiJl not sit uatil late in the following spring add again lb. process will be repeated. The jury finds that the argu ment is all in favor of early hatch mg especially this year. EARLY HATCHED CHICKENS STRONGER The early batched chicken is not only the .chicken that lavs the winter egg, but it is th chicken best able to withstand disease and parusites. It is in the midsummer months that chickens are hnrt most by lice. The late batched has doi had time to become large or strong enough to resist lice at tacks,' but the early hatched chicken by midumuser has be come strong -and hardy enoual. to do so. And because the earl y devel pment of the early hatcbtd bird has preceded the extremely hot months, it is more apt to live through the summer. Church Notices. Rev.

Minn. m It was but a few yean ago that anything relating to public health wsrk, state or local, was regarded by many as of little use, an added bur den of taxation to the people and an infringement on personal liberty. Today the work of the public health service in preventing and eradicating contagious and infectious diseases is widely recognized and appreciated. In fact, those best informed, and especially those engaged in the care of disease, the members of the American medical profession, are advo cating strongly the establishment of a department of health under the supervision of a member of the president's cabinet. Next to its establishment and the enforcement of its laws nothing is of greater importance to a government than the maintenance of the health of its people. Health has come to be generally recognized as an economic principle. Some countries maintain compulsory working men's laws, protecting the people by state accident indemnity and old-age insurance. England furnishes free medical attendance to the fairly well-to-do as a national economic feature of her government. In this country also various insurance and accident compensation laws have been put into effect. Within but a few years, through the efforts of the public health service and the lecturers sent out by the American Medical association, the people of the United States have become fairly well informed as to the possi bilities of preventing disease. People in America naturally tend to commercialism, and in a nation of this kind it is difficult to advance methods which in any way interfere with business. Commercialism, therefore, greatly hampers the work of local public health officers. The state of Minnesota, which finds it easy to raise about nine cents per capita for the care and prevention of disease in hogs and cattle, has an appropriation for health work of but three cents per capita. Even with this small amount, however, Minnesota stands fourth in the public health statistics of the United States. In many states the appropriation varies from a quarter of a cent to a cent per capita. The legal value of a human life is commonly placed at $5,000. There is hardly a community in which an acting health officer, in the course of a year, would not be able to save at least one human life. Accordingly, cities with a population of two thousand and up should have a. whole time health officer whose compensation should be at least the value of one human life. Such an officer should be modern in his views, fully equipped and trained in public health service. Next Great Organized Effort Must Be for Upbuilding of the Country School By UNITED STATES SENATOR JAMES W. WADSWORTH, J& OfNewY-k Life in the country has been brightened remark ably. The improved road, the rural delivery, the almost universal use of the telephone, and the astonishing use of the automobile are some of the important factors which have' helped to bring this about. But none of these facilities, valuable as they are, affects the lives of people living in the country as fundamentally as the school. The man who lives in an environment which offers but comparatively meager possibilities for the development of his mind knows instinctively that he is missing something of deep and vital importance in his life; and the yearnings of human nature in this direction are w intense that that man will inevitably seek a more favorable environment for himself and his children; and no amount of effort put forth to enable him to fill his pockets with money will drive that yearning from his soul. I verily believe that the next great organized effort for the advancement of agriculture and the preservation of a thriving and contented country population must be directed toward the upbuilding of the country school. Work of this sort is in line with the highest purpose of government, and upon its successful accomplishment must rest the continued success of our wonderful experiment' in democracy. Fresh -Air School Vitality and Brain By DR. A. D. JONES Of NwYk New York has token the lead in providing sanitary quarters for schoolchildren. Many weakly children hove been restored to health by the care taken in the ventilation of the schoolrooms. The experiment of having the children study in rooms where they have always plenty of fresh air has developed great advantages. Windows in the rooms are lowered from the top and raised from the bottom. A temperature of about 60 degrees is maintained, and no heat is nsed except in the severest weather. The boys and girls are wrapped in sweaters and blankets and suffer no discomfort from the cold. One of the results obtained has been the gain in weight of pupils of open window classes over those studying in heated rooms. Volumes of pure, fresh air roll into the rooms with none of the vital qualities impaired by artificial handling. The bracing effect of cold is stimulating to health and renders the children more able to resist infecting bacteria and disease. It prompts frequent class drills and exercises that prevent air stagnation in the rooms and enables every pupil to change his breathing zone. Fresh air increases the vitality of the child and teacher. Children taught in the fresh air learn quickly and do not require the constant drill ing necessary under the old system. Most Hopeless Task Ever Conceived Is That of Outdistancing the Conscience By REV. H. E. JOHNSON oi MilwwU. Wis In the race of life the most hopeless task that a man can possibly conceive of is the task of outdistancing conscience, the nemesis of a guilty soul. , The crying need of the world during these trying days, whether it be in the realms political, social, industrial, or the individual life, is a con scientious consideration of the relationships of humankind one with the other. A man may strangle conscience, leave her apparently mortally wounded by the wayside, and bound on along the pathways through the jungles of life in the pursuit of selfish and sensual desires; but ere he has gone very far in his evil ways he will hear once more the familiar footfall of the nemesis of a guilty soul conscience, like truth, crushed to earth, will rise again. Conscience is not an enemy to be feared, but it is man's best friend. When the arrow of conviction Bhot forth from the bow in the hands of conscience whether it be tipped with the dart of adversity, or sorrow, or physical affliction sinks into a human soul, its work is not to destroy a man's soul, but rather to save it by arresting a man in his onward flight toward the jungles of eternal despair.

In order to increase egg pro duction it is necessary toelimii nate the non-producer, says H. O. Knandel, in charge of pout t.ry extension at the Pennsylva ia State College. A hen must lay eighty egus to pay for her feed alone. Fifteen 'tdditlonaleggs are required to ay for labor and depreciation. Hence a hen must lay more than mnety five eggs each year to re tarn a profit to her owner. Vigor is the mot irrportant qualification of a laying heti. Tuat quality is indicated by short we nail, stubby beak, actlviiv, rising early and rath in? late, heavy eating and bnebt eye. In addition a ben should bnve h long broad back not puicbed at the ail, be deep in chest a nd body in order to have plenty of cajacitv, and have good distance between breast bone and pelvic bones. In order to increase produc Hon in the next generation an egg record should be kept and -ikiyeggs from high pro meets be used for hatching. Late moul- ters should be kept in the breed ing flock and the early moulters eliminated. Use strong cockerels. As pullets do not have the vitality that hens have, they produce small eggs; and, consequently, small chicks and they have , no records. Not Good for Chickens. Unfortunately much of this State's great corn crop of this year is frosted and soft and fed to poultry, especially when fed to poultry as an exclusive grain food causes digestive troubles, loose bowels, blue combs and many deaths. A farmer from Monroe county reports to the Pennsylvania De partment of Agriculture that be has had over 10 ' chickens and turkeys die lately from this ciuse, and many reports from all over the State of sick chickens and. turkeys are probably due to the same cause. The advice of the Department in all cases is to dry or parch the corn. - It there is an old fashion ed bake oven on the farm, this can re done in quantities, if not, thejkitchen range must be used. Burning the corn or parching it so hard that it approaches charcoal is a waste. Also feed ing it hot is dangerous. Slightly warm will-not hurt. Mouldy corn is never a safe chicken eed and every effort should be made at this 'time to save enough dry and sound corn to last to feed the chickens this next year. If this is not done and the mouldy corn is fed thete are bound to be a lot of mysteri ous deaths among the cbicueus and turkeys all this next year. Huntingdon Garage Burned.
