total of upward of 40.000 pointed
pages.
The report of the national monetary
commission, which Is now virtually
complete, comprises 24 volumes, aver-
aging 300 pages to the volume. Despite
the cost of getting out such a refer-

out a “first edition” of about 6.000

moat Sav# aniatala who** ancestors
for many generations back have teen
of one type. Tto more generations of
such uniformity, the more certain it
will fc* that tto young will possess
similar quality.
Tto wild animals of any one kind
or specie* In one locality have teen
ef similar type for many generations
and may be considered as pure-bred.
By the law of natural selection, indi-
viduals not suited to live In that par-
ticular locality have been weeded oat.
When animals are domesticated,
and moved to other climates, and are
fed different foods, only such indi-
viduals will live and produce young
aa are suited to the new conditions.
But another factor changes domestic
animals more rapidly. Men breed only
such specimens aa please their fancy;
and this artificial selection replaces
natural selection. During tto many
centuries of domestication the chick-
ens ot different parts of the world
have developed into different types.
When these radically different types
are brought together and crossed we
have produced young that are very
different from the parents and from
each other. Nor can these young be
depended upon to reproduce offspring
tike themselves. They are said to to
cross-bred, or, if the mixing to for
several generations, they are known
aa mongrels. By selecting from cross,
bred or mongrel stock such chickens
aa are desired, and breeding these to-
gether for many generations, new
breeds may be established.
One strain of chickens may be se-
lected for uniform color of feathers,
another for a certain sixe and shape,
another for laying large eggs of a cer-
tain color, and yet another strain for
being producer# of many eggs. Kacn
of these strains might be well-bred in
these peculiar traits, but would to
mongrels when the other considera-
tions were taken Into account. Breed-
ers of pure-bred stock, in making
their selection of breeding animals,
try to consider the desirable qualities
In due order of their relative Im-

Little Girl Blows Cigarette Rings
44QHE smokes cigarettes, your Hon-
d or,” so spoke Mlaa Elizabeth Me-
Musters, probation officer to Judge
De Lacy in the Juvenile court, a# she
pointed to a little flaxen-haired girl
who was busy stretching a pleco of
gum to Ita limit.
"Why, that can’t be possible,” ex-
claimed Judge He Lacy In astonish-
ment. “She doesn't appear to be more
than ten years of age,"
“She la twelve now and haa been
■moklng for three years,” continued
the probation officer. “Just aa auon as
school 1# dismissed she roams the
streets of Georgetown In search of
butts and then retires to n woodshed
In the rear of her home and consumes
what she has gathered. She never
■mokes less than two cigarettes a day,
and when the picking la good no one
knows how many more.”
“Yes, sir," piped the child, smiling
•t the Judge, “I smoke, but I haven't
had auy today. Yesterday I got two
cigarettes. The picking was poor.”
"How did you come to acquire such
a terrible habit?” asked the court.
"I saw lots of boys smoking and
they were sending up into the air all
kinds of pretty circles and wreaths.
So I just picked up a cigarette from
tlA street when nobody was looking,
lit It, and after several puffs, I could
make just as nice elides.”
The mother of the little girl told
Judge De I.acv that she had never
seen her daughter smoke, but had
often noticed the fragrance of cigar-
ettes on her breath. The child was
placed on probation for six months
How often have you stopped to

would have saved had you started
In with a pair or a trio of good
breeders Instead of the flock of cull
chickena which you purchased and
which even the moat experienced poul-
tryman would have found difficult in
handling?
How often have you thought about
advising those about to start In with
chickens to put their money In good
stock or eggs at the outset instead
of fretting with worthless stock for
two or three seasons before realizing
their mistake?
How often have you given this ad-
vice to a deaf car. become provlked
and then got In a good humor again
when you thought of the fool you
bad been and of the time you had In
making up your mind to the neces-
sity of starting In all over again, aft-
er devoting a couple of years to a
flock that no one could have made
to pay for Its feed?
When we look back upon the many
mistakes we made In getting a start
we wonder how we managed to stay
with It. It is then we realize why It
is so many go In for chickens and
(all, and begin to wonder how It bap-
l ens that more did not give up at

I rodactkon ot meat. Only sum ont-
lonaity at color and minor points ora
demanded as will serve to distinguish
tto treed and give uniformity ot ap-
pearance. Tto standards adopted by
Lrcecer# of this class ot animals give
relatively small consideration to fancy
points, whereas poultry breeders con-
sider about one-half of the value ot
their birds to depend on color of
feathers alone, while the Judgment
of snap* is based upon the outline
produced by tto leathers and not on
tto true body shape. The standard
bred poultry fancier# have not been
mainly concerned in producing breeds
of chicken# for the one of the farmer
or practical grower, as have bees the
breeders of cattle and swine Men
who pursue animal breeding for pleas-
ure alone do not choose large, slow-
breeding animals, such as cattle;
neither do animals wholly worthless
from other standpoints receive much
attention from breeders. But tto hen.
variable in form and color, inexpen-
sive to secure, readily reared and
capable of producing in brief time
large numbers of offspring, and yet
withal capable of paying her way in
food products, has rendered possible
the development of the fancy or stan-
dard-bred chicken business into the
most universal and important fancy or
artistic-breeding business in the world.
From the attention that bas been
given to the breeding of poultry for
tto show room, many people wrongly
infer that standard-bred poultry is no
better than mongrel stock for com-
mercial purposes.
The mongrel chicken is a production
of chance. Its ancestry represents
everything available In the barnyards
of the neighborhood, and Its offspring
will be equally varied. In the pure
breeds there bas been a rigid selection
practiced that gives uniform appear-
ance.
The size and shape requirements of
the standard, although not based on
the market demands, comes much
nearer producing an Ideal carcass than
does chance breeding. Ability to ma-
ture tor the fall and winter shows is a
decidedly practical quality that the
fancier breeds Into his chickens.
Moreover, poultry breeders, while still
toeping standard points in mind, have
also made improvements in the laying
and meat-producing qualities of their
chickens. Considering these tacts. It
is an enormous idea to think that
mongrel chickens offer any advantage
over pure bred stock for meat or for
eggs.

Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For a Tim*.
It’s easy to understand bow ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee wheo
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own expe-
rience:
“I had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although I had palpitation of tho
heart every day. (Tea contains caf-
feine—the aame drug found in coffew—
and la just as harmful as coffee.)
“Finally one day a severe and al-
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time I have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when I tried a small
quantity of coffee,which caused severe
irritation and proved to me I must let
it alone.
' ^ k®n we began using Postum It
seemed weak—that was because w#
did not make It according to directions
—but now we put a little bit of but-
ter in the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boll full 15 minutes
which gives it the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
I have advised a great many of
my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum, In fact I dally
give this advice.” Name given by
Postum Co.. Battle Creek. Mich.

Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe It to
patients.
