CHURCH HEAD Recently President Smith, head of the Mormon church, gave testimony before the congressional committee in vestigating the sugar trust relative to the formation of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company. For the head of a strong church society, he has found time to devote to affairs of purely secular character. President Smith has reached his present high stage of efficiency by sedulous attention to business. At 8 years old he wielded a goad over an ox team when the great exodus of the Mormon sect from Illinois began. He worked at manual labor in Utah; he was a missionary to the Sandwich Islands; It, 1858 he was ordained high priest aid. member of the high coun cil. Off and on from 1860 to 1877 he was a mia;slonary of the faith in Great Britain. in 1866 he was ordained an apostle. He has been president of the churrh since the death of Lorenzo Snow, ]. 1901.

The alleged misappropriationl of the state department funds occurred in connection with the purchase of a portrait of Assistant Justice Day of the Supreme court, former secretary of state, and amounted to $1,600. Only $850 was paid to Albert Rosenthal, the artist who painted the picture. The committee during its investiga tions traced to a single voucher the sum of $2,460. On this voucher was written "for portrait and frame of ox Secretary Day." The testimony having showed that the $1,600 unaccounted for wvas in the hands of Morrison as disbursing clerk and of Michael as chief clerk, the committee holds that the money was m Morrison jointly, or by Michael alone.

Chickens for broiling or frying should be fed extra for two or three weeks to get them fat, with plenty of good, solid meat on breast and thighs. Range -poultry is never classed as first-class market poultry. Put six to eight chickens in a clean. roomy coop; place coop in shed, which should be kept quiet and mod erately dark. Give first morning feed of cornmeal mixed with milk; just what they will eat with a relish. At nine o'clock give a second meal of baked bread mixed with boiled vege tables. At noon give cracked corn mixed with a little wheat. At 5 p. in. give cornmeal mixed with milk, They should be fed at regular hours and given only what they eat up with a relish at each meal. No food should be allowed to lie in the coop, as they lose their appetite when food is left in the coop to turn sour. Sour food is not fit to feed. Wash out the cool) every morning. This is necessary and should not be neglected. Give a little gravel or charcoal about twice a week. Give milk instead of water. By this meth od chickens may be fattened in two weeks' time. Chickens thus fed will make prime market poultry and will command an extra price. WATERING CAN FOR CHICKS t Excellent Fountain May Be Made Out of Old Tomato Can-Cut 12 inches From Bottom.

Value of Grit and Charcoal. It pays to keel) a supplly of grit, oyster shell and charcoal before the fowls. The moi-e you can coax your laying hen to eat and assimilate, the more material she will have to turn into eggs. Her body must be0 nour ished and material supp~llied for eggs. To provide for both purposes during cold weather means grinding up a great (heal of food. The grit helps to do thuis and the oyster shell furnishes material for the egg shell. Charcoal fur'nlshos no nourishment, but pro motes digestion, and is a bowel cor rective. Brooding Hens. With brooding lhens we give exactly the same diet, except for soft food. That affects the fertility and is used only occasionally for a change. Then we usually give blood meal and bran mixed in the hopper. In the pens5 we keep grIt andl shell all the time, and since grIt is scarce in t'his country, we use gravel, coal cinders and broken gians in ordler that the liens inay have something sharp to cut and digest their food.

A great many people buy incubators nd brooders and expect them to run hemselves. There would be just as nuch sense in the hen leaving her ggs for the wind and sun to hatch in tead of setting on them and guarding hem, night and day, for 21 days. Inanimate things won't run. them elves; they must be run. Machines tre all right, but they haven't brains; nen must supply the intelligence. Now, it has been proved by thou ands of people in different parts of lie world that artificial incubation mnd brooding of poultry is an assured uccess. But to make this success re muires close personal attention from tart to finish. The work cannot be ntrusted to any Tom or Dick or lar y. Tom and Dick and Harry hired to lo the work may set the machine oing, but they won't keep them ,oing. They lack the personal equa ion. They would just as soon see you nake a failure as they would see you nake a success of the chicken busi. iess. To hatch and brood chickens artill. !ially one must stay right with thc hvork, day and night. This does not mean that you have to sit up with an( nurse the machines and baby birds but that you just about know exactl3 what they are doing every hour of th< wenty-four.

BERRY'S RUSE TO ESCAPE OFFICERS BY DECORATING FOOT HASTENS ARREST. WOMAN ADMITS TWO THEFTS Makes Stolen Horse Resemble One Sought by Sleuths-Tells Sheriff She Needed Money to Pay Mort gage on Her Farm. Columbus, O.-Her artistic effort to conceal the identity of a horse she had stolen in Dayton, caused the ar rest of Mrs. Rosa lerry, alleged lead er of a gang of horse thieves. She declares the allegation is nonsense for she stole the horse simply because *sie needed an animal on her farm and lacked the cash to purchase one. In her cell In the jail in Marion she do clares she is willing to pay the pen alty of her crime but feels bad to think she ever stooped to so low a crime. Mrs. Berry went to Marion and hired a $400 horse and buggy from Jim Squires. She drove that outfit to Muncie and to Richmond, where site sold it for $75. She took an interur ban car to Dayton, and in that city hired another $300 horse and buggy. The horse she got at Dayton had one white foot and Mrs. Berry painted out the white foot and made the horse a dark bay. That bit of painting was her undoing, for when she changed the color of the Dayton horse she caused it to be an exact likeness of the Marion horse, which was adver tised all over the country and for which the horse-thief detective asso ciations were looking. She was ar resAd because site had a horse of the deseription of the horse stolen from Jim Squires, and then it was learned that the horse she had was stolen at Dayton. "I know they have had a great deal to say about ine," said Mrs. Ierry, "but this is the first crime I ever committed. I have not been mixed up with any horse-stealing gang. I took the horse at Marion and sold it be cause I needed the money to pay debts, and I took the Dayton horse because I needed an animal to work on my farm and did not have the money to buy one. That is all therG Is to it. I never stole any horse any Mrs. Rosa Berry. where else, and if I had not been so desperate for money I would not have stolen these."

They coax the liver into activity by gentle, methods. Thley do not ticour, they do not gripo, they do not weaken, but they do start all thle secretions of the liver and stomach in a way that, soon puts these organis in a healthy condlition and corrects constipaitioni. In my opinion constipation isi responsile for most nil mnents. TIho aro 20 feet of human bowels, which is really a sewer pipe. When this pipe becomecs clogged the w.hole systemii beomnes poisoned, caus ing hiiiouisness, indigestion and impure bloodl, which often produce rheumatism and kidney ailments. No woman who suffers with constipation or any liver ilnent (can expect to have a clear compl'exion or enjoy good health. If I had my way I would prohibit the male of nine-te'nths of the catharties that are now heing sold1 for the reason that they soon dlestroiy the lining of tihe stomach, setting up serious forms of indigestion, and so pahralyze the bowels that they re fuse to act. unless forced by strong purgatiyes. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonlo to tae stomach, liver and nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken; they en rich the blood instead of impoverish it; they enable the stomach to get all the nourishment from food that la puts into It. These pills contain no calomel, ne dope; they are soothing, healing and schnulating. They school the bowels to act without physic. Regular size bottle, containing 45 pills 25 cents.
