A wit says that Bryan is now willing to reduce the league to the grapejiiiee standard of kick. ' As a joy killer, the flu is about as expert an agent as one might expect to find. The early gardener, the first sit ting of eggs and the early candi date are now all in the bud and about to break into blossom. About the only thing thnt hasn't changed in the last decade it Mr. Bryan's method of combing his hair. the English do, make the govern ment responsive to t'te dominant political party in Conrgess? When there is an upheaval in tl e popular Vite, the president should ask the leader of the dominant party In con gress tJ fe:m a cabinet. This would yield all ti e politics necessary in governmental affairs. The ,nat mass of government officers thculd be under civil service. .

The Mexicans will be too busy shooting one another. " One of the glories of this country is that even the dub may criticize the color of the lilies or point out flaws in the gilding that enriches the appearance of the coronet. The executive and his cabinet are cm- spi cuously the subjects of the mo ment this week and we -arise to in quire, .Why not call a halt to the habit which has grown stronger with each succeeding administration of concentrating the powers of the legislative and the judicial on the executive? If we have a.legislative system to make the laws, a judicia ry to interpret them and an execu tive to enforce them why not limit to each branch the functions allow el to it? And since ours is a gov ernment by the people operating under the plan of rival political I allies, why should we not do as D'Annunzio it is said has grown weary with strife and will go back to the quiet life. He has had enough advertising now to warrai.t a ready market for his poems. While lumber and building ma terials are climbing steadily sky ward, air castles are as cheap as ever. DIPPING CHICKENS FOR LICE Uktly to Bteomt More General Than Dipping Cattle Because Past Is Mere Numerous. (Prepared by the Unit) state Depart ment of Agriculture.) "Dip that chick r It Isn't done just for the sake of making a rhyme for "dip that tick," either. Dipping chick ens Is likely to become more general than dipping cattle, because the chicken louse Is a more widely distrib uted Insect than the cattle tick. To "dip" consists of 1 ounce of sodium fluoride to the gallon of water, which should be at a temperature of TO to 88 degrees. The dipping should be done on a clear, warm day never on a cold day. The old way of getting rid of chicken lice was by dusting with dry sodium fluoride. It was effective, but In the ease of large flocks It was slow and wasteful, a great deahot the dusting material being Inevitably lost. Recent dipping experiments proved successful, and the results promise a sure and speedy menus of getting rid of one of the worst peats of poultry. UP-TO-DATE SUMMER HOUSES Colony Plan of Housing Poultry May Be Adopted to Advantage en a Great Number of Farms, (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The curtain-front or partial open front house Is conceded to be the beat type for most sections. The colony plan of housing poultry may be adopted to advantage on many farms. This system does away with the dan ger of tainted soil. , . 1 The roosts should be built on the same level, 8 feet from the floor, with a dropping board sbout 8 Inches be low them. Oood roosts may be made of 2 by 2 Inch material with the upper edges rounded. , The nests may be placed on the side walls .or nnder the dropping boards.
