A university journal had a paragraph which read something like this: "Why doea Miss So^nd-so alwa'ya close her eyes every time she attempts to sing in public?" The answer was, "Because ?he can't bear to see other people suf fer." Many a singer looks out upon a suffering audience and does not know It. There is hope when the fact is re cognized. Look Out for Iloomers of Town Lots. . There are Indications tluit the tre mendous demand for dyes, munitions of w.>r and other products will stimu late the organization of fake eomimnlejC to boom town lota on the basts of es tablishing new industrial companies and of fake stock-jobbing schemes not only to catch "suckers," but even to catch Supposedly well-informed men.

' FEE-SPLITTING EVIL Attacked by Georgia Doctor Who Wants Law Against Practice. Atlanta, Ga., April 24. ? An aggres sive campaign by tne physicians of Georgia against the practice known as "fee splitting" and the enactment of a law making the practice a criminal offense,, are expected to grow out of the address of I)r. w. S. Goldsmith, of Atlanta, In retiring ns president of the Georgia Medical Association. In his address, delivered in Colum bus, Dr. Galdsmith denounced doctors who split fees as "contemptible thieves and grafters, preying upon the ills and Ignorance of their patients, taking ad vantage of friendship and confidence reposed in them to enrich their purses with unnecessary surgical operations." The particular practice against which I>r. Goldsmith hurled his de nunciation is that of a physician ad vising a patient that he or she needs an operation, and advising the patient to have the same performed by a sur geon In some nearby city, with whom the family physician splits the surgi cal fee. I)r. Goldsmith's address was enthu siastically received and the association passed resolutions urging the legisla ture to enact a law making fee split 4-U>g a ?erfmlmti offense, whtf-h Taw is now in effect in several other states. Cow Peas for Poultry. < Memson College, April 24. ? Those who keep poultry for profit should make arrangements to plant several acres of cow i>ea.s this spring. Several exj>criments in feeding cow pom to laying hens, fattening turkeys. pigeons ami even cracked for baby chicks and developing youngsters, go to prove that there Is no grain of greater value to the poultry or pigeon producer. Cow peas contain 21 i>er cent pro terln, the fo<Kl from which the whiten of the eggs are made by the laying hen. <?r about two-thirds as much of tills valuable constituent as cottonseed meal. It is necessary to gr'nd the jhvis for jKWltry food; simply add them to the mixture of grains the hens receive. * A simple egg-making mixture to be fed twice daily In litter to make the hens scratch to find the kernels Is 100 pounds cow peas; 100 pounds cracked corn, and 100 pounds whole oats or sorghum seed. This .has been fed with success. Another way to use the cow peas is to add one quart of cow pea* to every two parts of the grain mix ture you are feeding. ? Hens running on a good, natural range where they can obtain bugs and; vegetable food, will lay well In sum mer when fed the cow peas mixture of grains alone. It Is unneceaaary to use the Clemaoft Egg Mash until next fall when natural food ta defic ient A constant supply of fresh water and ahell material should be betfbre the hens at all time*.
