He iw allowed a fee for every iftldavit he signs from an individual vho swears he needs liquor for medi? ane. "J. And of course the liquor-seller mikes a profit out of every 'permit.' "The law has curtailed very mute dally the sale, and consequently the Irinking of liquor; but the law ihould be drawn tighter together trlth one or two amendments.

Under the usual conditions this is; good policy, for of ? rule only about 1 half of the Hock lay well enough the j second year to be profitable, ;ind the' farmer who has pullets enough to re ; place all his old hens sees no advan? tage in keeping any of them over. This year, however, those patriotic farmers who desire to do their part to increase the poultry and egg sup? plies will find it desirable to retain a considerable proportion of the yearl Ing hens. Farmers in the corn belt especially will Und it to their interest to hold all the good yearling hens Ihey have, making such addition to iheir poultry house equipment as may be necessary to properly accom- I modnte both pullers and hens. Over crowding must be avoided, as neither mllets nor hens will do their best. Selecting Hens to Keep. I In seletcing hens to keep over, - ^erference should be given to those I hat molt in September or later, for I hey are?as a r\ile?the most per- 1 ilstent layers. Such hens may not be i tt this time the best looking in the | lock. They are likely to be rough in' i damage with somewhat shriveled I< ombs and pale colored legs. The.-;. ' hings, however, are merely inciden- 11 ul to the non-laying and molting pe < iod. h Hens that appear in prime condl- I ion at this time are those that molt- : d In the summer because they stop- i ed laying. The exceptions which it ? nay be desirable to retain are hens! 1 yhich reared broods in early summer!] nd molted while running with the 11 hicks.

S.?Miss Aliou Paul, head of the Woman's Party, und Miss Kose Winslow, hunger strik? ing in the District jail hospital, were fed late today by the jail authorities Liquid food was given them through rubber tubes, breaking a fast of some? thing over 72 hours. Whether force was employed may be always a matter of dispute. Dr. J A. Gannon, the jail physician said it was not and that both women took the nourishment without protest. At the Woman's Party headquarters, however, it was indignantly asserted that such a thing was impossible. The women pointed to Miss Paul's record some yeari ago at Holloway Jail, London, saying she endured torture through forcible feeding. She was then an aide to Mrs. Pankhurst. Miss Paul and Miss Winslow, who ire serving terms for socalled picket ng of the White House, went on their strike in an effort to compel the Jail officers to. provide for their fellow pickets the same special food ?eggs and milk?given them when hey were transferred to the hospital section. They insist that even mur ierers in the jail are permitted to ! nake purchases on the outside to sup? plement their prison fare and that 1 pnly the suffragists of all the pris >ners are denied this privilege. Dr. Gannon called in several other Physicians today to examine the strik? e's and give their opinion as to the lecessity for forcible feeding. It was igreed that both women were in such i condition that they must be fed. Tonight the physician would say lothing more than that the prisoners lad accepted nourishment without protest and now were in satisfactory ihape. Hope Abandoned for Missing Men.
