The American Red Cross has perfect ed plans for Americans who may be captured and held In German prison camps. A prisoner's relief committee has been organized at Berne, Switz erland, under the supervision of Hills L. Dresel of the American legation. Mr. Dresel served from the outbreak of the war In 1614 np to our recall of Mr. Gerard as an attache of the American embassy at Berlin, where his duties included relief work for men of the entente nationalities in German prison camps. There are now comparatively few American prisoners In Germany. Most of these are civilians taken off Amer ican merchantmen that have been sunk by submarines. More recent arrivals In the prison camps had served as gun crews on merchant ships. Speedy provision for their relief and for those who may be taken prisoners Is necessitated, by the German policy of giving prisoners food totally Inade quate to keep them In good health. A recent cable from Paris tells of a French soldier Just back from a Ger man prison camp and In the last stage of tuberculosis. This soldier was one of a battalion of a thousand young and healthy men captured in a body, early In the war. More than 50 per cent of the number are now dead, or have been returned to France, via Switzerland, as Incurables. Malnutrition, no less than unsanitary conditions, produces these results. Brit ish, Canadian, and Australian prison ers of war In Germany now depend ex clusively upon food shipped to them from London and generally give the prison camp rations to prisoners of other countries, who are, as a rule, less well provided. Bread Is already being dispatched from Berne to the Americans In Germany, and arrange ments have also been made for trans mitting letters and money from their families and friends In this country. Thus far bread only has been sup plied by the Berne committee of the American Red Cross. Assorted food parcels and clothing will also be for warded. In the meantime the Central Prisoners of War committee of London Is acting on behnlf of American pris oners In Germany, sending them such foods as the committee regularly dis patch to British and colonial prisoners. By arrangement with Germany these food parcels are sent to the prisoners three times a fortnight. Bach of the parcels which supplement the bread, also regularly supplied, contains ten pounds of meat, butter, sugar, Jam, coffee or tea, salt, rice, and dried fruit. The American Red Cross Is forwarding to Berne stocks of the same foodstuffs, as well as cheese, evaporated milk, codfish, and mixed biscuit. Tinned goods cannot be sent to prisoners, for Germany has made over the tin containers as hand grenades. HEALTHY CHICKS GROW FAST WILL AID DIRECT MARKETING Pershing Made General. Washington, D.

Bvery effort must be made to keep the coops and houses of little chicks clean and sanitary. Disease most fre quently starts In unclean, poorly venti lated houses. - Clean the house at least once a week. Sand or litter of some kind scattered over the floor of the house will assist in keeping It clean. When chicks are confined to a limited range, it Is well to spade up the ground at frequent Intervals, so as to provide fresh ground for them to scratch In. If lice are found, every effort must be made to get rid of them, by applying a small portion of a mixture of equal parts of vaseline and lard to the top of the head and around the vent. Sick ly chicks can't grow fast enough to make money; healthy chicks can and will. Keep 'em well I ADVANTAGES !N MULES LIGHT HORSESHOE IS IDEAL Keeps Foot Level and Takes Greater Pressure From Toe Owner Thus Lessens Grain Bill. The Ideal horseshoe Is one which i light, consistent with a month's wear. This will keep the foot level instead BS Is the case with a heavy shoe and heels of putting the greater pressure on the toe. Very careful examination and calculation has proved that If a four-pound shoe Is used as Is some times the case on heavy horses n horse, In an ordinary day's work lifts 62 tons on each foot, or 208 tons in all more than Is necessary. This, of course, Involves a needless expenditure of mus cular energy, and more feed is needed to keep the animal In proper condition. With a lighter shoe the owner would not only relieve the horse, but lessen his grain bill. WIRE SPLICER EASILY MADE Neat and Strong Device Can Be Made With Little Instrument Shown In Illustration.

Turn splicer backward to make the splice. Use a pair of large pincers to hold the wires. GIVE TURKEYS BEST OF CARE Provide Place Where Fowls Can Roost by Themselves and Don't Over feed Keep Off Lice. f Dont overfeed the turkeys, and al ways have a place where they can roost by themselves. If kept with chickens, they soon become lousy. It does not take many lice to kill a young turkey. The best way to keep poults from getting lousy Is to keep the old ones free from lice and then hatch the eggs under the turkey hens. When hatched under chicken hens they are almost sure to have the large body lice. They acquire these In spite of all efforts to prevent. BEES HELPFUL TO ORCHARDS Honey Gatherers Cannot Perforate Skin 'of Fruit Damage la Done by Some Other Agent I The Idea that bees do harm In an orchard has been disproved In an In vestigation made at Florence, Italy. The bees cannot perforate the skin of the fruit, and the damage Is due to hornets, wild birds, wind or hall. By sucking Injured fruit the bees really prevent fermentation and the spread ing of rot They also render service In the cross pollination of flowers and the resulting setting of fruit, orchards and vineyards frequentel by them benr most regularly.

Superiority They Hold Over Horse In Many Way Compensate for Ob jectionable Length of Ear and Kicking Habit Those who are accustomed to hand ling mules and who know of their re markable faculty for adapting them selves to almost any condition, realize their value and do not hesitate to pay well for good animals. The advantages they possess over horses In many ways compensate for the somewhat objectionable length of ear and exaggerated reputation for kicking. They are ready to work when two years old and on account of their toughness and steadiness of Hardy Farm Type. nerve may be kept at It twice as long as borses are fit for service. Mules can be raised more cheaply than any other stock, and, unlike horses, will never founder themselves If by chance they should have access to more feed than Is good for them. They can be put Into the market much sooner than horses, and If properly handled, when two years old, will do as much work and stand It better, than four-year-old colts. Mules are less liable to con tract diseases than horses, and their value Is not decreased by blemishes as is that of horses. Mules seldom run away, but when they do they seem to run more from sport than fright and generally wind up safely. They instinctively avoid holes, obstacles or dangerous places. They can stand heat, abuse or hardship better than horses and can always be relied upon. They are sensitive as well as sensible nnlmals, responding quickly to kind treatment by docility and gentleness. The great profit In mule raising lies largely In their growth. Mules grow so quickly that they are marketable when three years old, while horse colts cannot advantageously be sold under five years. In this way the cost of feeding and the trouble and risk of raising are decreased. Buyers will always handle good mules, as the demand for them Is steady. Where large numbers of mules are raised there are always plenty of mule buyers In that section of the country. Buyers do not go where there are no mules to sell. In time of war mules are always In great demand and bring good prices owing to their pow ers of endurance. Comparing cattle with mules, one steer will eat as much as two mules. As compared with swine, If the same amount of feed that Is fed to a bunch of hogs Is fed to mules It will not take long to find which makes the most money, aside from the fact that there Is no risk from cholera. ONIONS PLANTED IN AUTUMN Multiplier Can Be Grown From Sets and Will Produce Excellent Early Vegetables. There are several kinds of onions that may remain In the soil over win ter. The multiplier, or potato onion, for example, can be planted from sets In the autumn and will produce excel lent green early onions. A large onion of this type contains a number of dis tinct hearts, and If planted will pro duce a number of small onions. On the other hand, a small onion contains but one heart and will produce a large onion. A few of the large ones may be planted to produce sets for the fol lowing year's planting. KEEP CHOLERA OUT OF HERD First Thing to Do Is to Keep Hog CleanKeep Them Out of Wallow Hole and Dirty Place. If you want to keep cholera out of your herd the first thing to do Is to keep the hogs clean. Keep them out of wallow holes or filthy places and see that they have clean beds. Do not let the sows that are going to far row run with the rest of the hogs. Keep lime water where the hogs can get a drink of It once a day but they should not be made to quench their thirst on this. Give a tablespoonful of oil cake for each once a day in slop or soft feed. CULLING AS CHICKENS GROW Special Tag Band Should Be Put on Particularly Promising Specimen Note It Development It Is a good plan to cull the flock as the chickens grow. When a particu larly promising specimen Is noted, that Is full of life and vigor and growing all the time, a special leg band may be put upon It and note taken of Its de velopment. Successful poultrymen know their best breeders from chick enhood to maturity. $100.00 INVESTED in our NEW ANIMATED ADVERTIS ING SIGNS, put you into a money-making business that can be run in your pare time.

VALUE OF OUTDOOR LIFE Only Those Familiar With Freedom of Wood and Field Enjoy Com plete Happiness. Too many people are merely on speaking terms with nature. Too many are unfamiliar with the wonderful ad vantage of outdoor. Too many cherish heated comforts. They forget that their ancestors did not know what a steam-heated house meant. It Is time to broaden our views and to get closer In touch with the great health-giving life of the open air. There died not long ago a natural ist, John Mulr, who had lived the bet ter part of his life with nature. He loved the mountains and the natural life of all outdoors. His existence was a happy one. He died amid the surroundings of peace, happily, with a contented heart. It Is only those who know the free dom of the woods and the health-giving tonic of the open air who really enjoy complete happiness. It Is related that a sickly mother, not a great many months ago, carried a sickly baby to Doctor Evans, who looked the boy over and smilingly ad vised the worried parent to turn her boy loose In the parks, "let him live in the open air," he advised, "It Is the only medicine that will do him any good." This same advice can be applied to day to thousands of cases. On incle ment days it Is unwise to expose one self. But when the sun shines and the air is keen and crisp, Is filled with the germs of life, one Is extremely foolish not to take advantage of It. If parents would only see that their youngsters are warmly clothed, that their shoes are sound and that their little legs are well protected, and then turn them out of doors and tell them to stay there, they would find their doctors' bills growing less and the health of their children growing bet ter. They will also see a glow of rosy health In the young cheeks which Is a certain indication of expanding youth, of glowing blood, of the creation of good health. Memphis Commercial Appeal.
