Wouid you , be willing toi give more than half of jrour modest Income to make life less rig orous for suffering or neglected ani mals? Such Is the sacrifice being made by Miss Sarah and H. H. Jacobs of Kan sas City, Kan., across the river from here. ( And it is no, mere passing hobby, they have been doing this for the last quarter century. The Jucobs are nationally known for their un selfish work. . ' - Living in a little cottage, surround ed by rose bushes, bird houses, flower beds and fruit trees, these two have consecrated their lives to ameliorating the hardships visited upon man's often neglected and abused companions. H. H. Jacobs provides the Income by working as a bookkeeper on the Missouri side, while Miss Sarah looks after the home and .ts numerous . pets. - And there are many dogs in the Jacobs home ten dogs, two score cats, and two parrots. The care of these pets, however, represents only a minor part of the activities of the two workers.. Both are officers in the Wyandotte County Humane society and labor Incessantly to benefit ani mal life through that source. With all this the Jacobs are not unmindful of the needs of unfortunate children. and even adults of their city, as they j are. active in the Associated Charities., Miss Sarah, who was found at home j busy with her charges, said that her j first Instruction in humane work was when she was a little girl and her father tnnfrht hpr thnt If whs Inst t as easy to step around an anthill as to crush it with hex- heel. Chloroform to Diseased. While thoroughly orthodox in their theology, the Jacobs believe firmly that most of the sin and .suffering In the world has followed man's habit of killing and abusing .animals. There is nothing mawkish about their views, however. Miss Sarah, as president of the Humane society, has personally chloroformed hun dreds of diseased, deformed and home Jess animals. "It sometimes Is expedient," she said, "to remove them, to avert fur ther , suffering. When it , Is neces sary to put an animal to sleep, I al ways utter a word of prayer, taking full responsibility for the act." Most of the pets in the Jacobs home have been brought there by persons I Says Farmers Go Crazy for Lack of Recreation Washington. One of the reasons why you "cant keep 'em down on the farm" was ex plained , here at the seventy seventh annual convention of the American Institute of Home opathy. v More farmers go crazy every year In the United : States than any other class of citizenship. Dr. J. M. Lee of Rochester, N. T., told the convention. Work, worry and lack of recreation are the causes. . Professional inen clergymen, physicians and lawyers are less likely to go crazy, Dr. Lee said. However, Dr. Lee warned. i t don't be too sure of yourself, for . insanity Is slowly but steadily Increasing.

I Finally It struggled over to the open fireplace and curled up In the "warm ashes. Soon it showed signs of rallying and they concluded It should live. It did recover. The inci dent reminded them of the fairy story of the little girl sitting In the ashes and who later -was able to wear the glass slipper, and the spotted hound became Cinderella. . -j :'. : . , - Miss Jacobs told of a cat that saved their lives. A leaky gas jet had filled the house with fumes while they slept. The cat mewed in vain and finally leaped upon the bed and scratched Miss Jacobs to a waking position and a realization of their danger. Cat's Interesting Career. ; Yarrow, a cat with ah interesting career, was named after Mary Craige Yarrow, a noted humane worker of Philadelphia. ' This cat once was a companion to a little boy. The boy died and on the night of his fuperal the animal was carried away and locked In a freight car bound for Ar kansas." A fortnight later the cat re turned home nearly starved. The boy's mother took it to the Jacobs home. ; ' Some of the animals' of other days, especial favorites - who had earned some mark of distinction, are buried in the flower garden.

AIL TO GET BIG ORDERS British, German and Dutch Firms Are Getting Millions of Dollars Because They are Bfitter Informed Than the American Business Men. Klga, Latvia. Millions 'of dollars in ready cash are going to English, Ger man and Dutch firms from the Baltic states because ' of , the almost unbe lievable unfumiliarity of even the largest American , firms with foreign trading conditions, and even geog raphy, say Americans here. Dozens of big orders, for which cash was uctually In the banks In New Yrk have been lost to America be cause of what American representa tives In Baltic states term absolute stupidity. . . "It Is said," said one of these Amer icans In Klga, who has had to place rhahy orders In Germany and in Eng land, when America could have had them,: "that the heads of American firms realize what the subordinates In charge of their foreign . trading de partments are doing to them. "Most of. them, brought up on so called American ' efficiency systems that may work well at home but are absolutely hopeless abroad,:, try to do business in Europe according to 'form 22' or 'form 24 or whatever form they would apply to similar deals In Am erica'. ' : ;- ' 'To Illustrate, not long ago I had j an urgent cash order for 40,000 suits ! of underclothing for a Baltic state. I telegraphed to a big American firm.

The dog pounced upon the snake and received the poisonous' bite. He became blind, but lived many years. Asked about the cost of pursuing their humane work. Miss Jacobs said it amounted to $000 or $700 n yewir. She insisted, however, 'that this did not constitute a sacrifice, ,that, they de rived pleasure from It and preferred to spend their money in this way, even if It forced them to give up many comforts.

That delicate point was settled by Judge Lawrence of the Court of Com mon Pleas, In the case of a Trentoi man who resorted to the law to ge back the circlet he had given girl who then married another man. in Baltic bright young) credit man had tried to digest this telegram, I received a cable saying: 'Wireiyour credit rating and references.' - "Now, I suppose his 'form 22' re- quired him to' do that, but I wired back, My creillt references are cash in New Yorki bank. What are your prices?' . i "Some days ater I received a teie- gnim saying: 'Price dollar twenty,' or something like', that. - "More valuable time was lost in an exchange of cablegrams asking what they meant, per garmeut or per suit. The resujt was that I wired an English firm. My answer from It was complete, just what I wanted. The telegram gave the price per suit, weight of shipment, probable date of delivery and every thing that I wanted to know. The English firm got the order and took the cash In the New York bank. "When I write American firms for catalogs, I get catalogs without prices. I suppose they think It Is undignified to print them. Then I write for price lists and get price lists without cata logs. .Print Complete Catalogs. "German or British firms print com plete catalogs, giving just what one wants to know. 'They save valuable weeks of mall correspondence and get the orders." , , 1 . Another American In trade In Riga showed the correspondent a cablegram from'one of. the biggest oil companies in America, in reply to his telegram which said: "Quote me price refined coal oil delivered Riga." The answer read: "Crude oil has gone up 20 cents' a barrel." "Now," said this American dealer, "I didn't want to know about crude oil and I haven't time to figure out what effect a rise In Its price would have on coal oil that was badly wanted by my buyer. "In many of such ridiculous cases I, have telegraphed directly to-the heads of firms in America explaining the situation. But I haven't the time to write all of them. So the Germans and English get the orders." Incidentally, perhaps half of the let ters sent by American "firms to . the Baltic states bear only 2-cent postage stamps, causing Indignant prospective buyers to dig down in their, pockets to pay postage due in rubles or marks or whatever the unit happens to be. Some of them bear fantastic ad dresses, such as "Riga, Russia, via the Pacific." One letter .in reply to request to ship for cash a big. consignment of goods from New York to Riga" said the firm was sorry, "but had no shipping facilities on the Pacific." . Bone From Leg Grafted .

Judse, EXERCISE BEST FOR POULTS Confining young Turkeys Does Not Result In Marked , Success Thrive on Free Range. (Prepared by the United .States Depart- Plenty of exerdse is essential if the turkey poults are to thrive, say poul try specialists of the United States nonmTmonf cif A crriculture. At all times, t when rain or dampness does v- a not prevent, the poults should be al lowed to run In and out of the coop at will. Too much stress cannot be sriven to the necessity of exercise, and the only wray to provide for this is to allow the poults at every possible ODDortunity to range for feed outside the coOp. During a long-continued rainy season it is better to allow them to run out of the coop whenever It is not actually raining, even "though the grass is somewhat damp. By confining the -mother hen to the coop she will always be ready to hover 1 T9--Vmi,ri J et the Turkeys Have Open Range. the poults whenever they run, to her, which they will do if they become chilled. The greatest care should be taken to keep the interior of the coop dry, and for this reason it Is advisable to choose" a sandy slope where the water runs off quickly and where there Is also protection from heavy rains. If necessary, the mother-hen can be confined to a roomy coop for a week or more, provided she is properly fed and watered, and the coop moved to fresh ground every day. If the weather is warm and dry, as frequently happens when the poults are hatched late in the season, no shelter is required, as they do better in the. open ; but It is advisable to keep them within a fenced Inclosure for the first three or four days until they are strong enough to follow the mother. Weather conditions being fa vorable, the hen and, brood can be given free range after the third or fourth day, but care should be taken to keep them out of heavy dews and to protect them from rain for the first two or three weeks. v After this early morning dewa or light showers fol lowed closely by warm sunshine will do little harm, as the poults soon become warm and dry. If cold, damp weather sets In, however, they will need 'to be kept in dry quarters, for nothing is more fatal to young poults than wet and cold. When about six weeks old, the young turkeys are old enough to go to roost. Practically all turkey raisers allow the birds to-roost In the open trees or on fences or other roosts especially provided for them. In sections where high winds prevail, it Is customary to build the roosts next to barn or shed, where there is some protection. When this is done posts are driven Into the ground and poles laid across them four of five feet from the ground. By driving, them to the roosting place and feeding them there every evening just before dark, young turkeys can be made to roost wherever desired. For the first few times it 4 is sometimes ' necessary to keep them under the roost until dark, but they will finally fly up, and after a week or so will no longer have to be driven, but will come up every night to be fed and to roost During the summer and early , fall turkeys can find an abundance of feed on the average farm. GrasshODDers and other Insects, weed and grass seeds, green vegetation, berries, and grain" picked up in the fields all go to make up the turkey's daily ration. When this natural feed Is plentiful very little need be added until fatten ing time, except for the purpose of bringing i the turkeys every nhrht to roosf and to keep them from straying from home. For this purpose one feed of grain every night just before roost ing time is sufficient.

Saul knew full well that unless th movement set on foot by Jesus W8 stopped it would supersede Judaism but he was entirely ignorant of "the genius of Christianity. Christianity thrives on persecution. Prosperity may a.1 al t t a. ruin me cnurcu, out persecution never. The noble display of faith b Stephen in sealing his testimony with his blood did not soften Saul's spirit but rather intensified his hatred for Jesus and His disciples. , It made him more determined than ever to stamp out 'this Nazarene heresy. The in tensity of his madness and the extent its operations are best set forth in his own words (see Acts 22: 4 and Acts 26:10-12). He obtained authority ' from the chief priests to carry on this murderous work. II. Saul Kicking Against the Pricks (w. 3-9). The figure here is that of the eastern ox-driver following the ox wiLiJ a suarp uuu ujlcu iu uie end i ..t i f a n -j i. of a pole. The animal is prodded on with, this instrument and if it Is re fractory It kicks against this sharp iron jqpd injures Itself. This is a picture of Saul as he was madly fight- Ins against Jesus. 1. A light from heaven (vv. 3, 4a). The time had come for the Lord to Interfere. Saul is stricken with blindness and falls to the earth. This physical demonstration accentuated the workings of, his conscience which doubtless were going on, quickened by the Holy Spirit as He used Ste phen's testimony. 2. A voi-re from heaven fw. 4h. 5). This was the Lord's voice calling Saul by name and. asking, "Why persecutest, thou me?" This moved Saul to in quire, "Who art thou, Lord?" The answer came, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest," as If to say persecution of the church is persecution of Jesus. 3. "What wilt thou have me to do?" (v. 6)). The dictator is now willing to be dictated to. The Lord told him to go into the city where information would be given him as to what he must do. v 4. Saul entering Damascus (vv. 7-9). The haughty persecutor goes quite humbly into Damascus led by his attendants. For the space of three days he remained in blindness and fasting. What went on in his soul in those days no mortal can know, but we may be assured that he, like tne Lora in tne wuaerness, was uv deep In meditation and prayer to de sire food. Doubtless in this time he got hold of the truths which he later proclaimed to the world ; for his con version was the basal fact of his theology. III. Ananias Sent to Saul (vv. 10 19a). .Here appears upon the scene hitherto unknown . disciple. 1. Ananias vision (vv. 10-12). this vision the Lord appeared and in structed him to go to Saul. He gave him the. name of the street and Saul's host, and informed him that Saul was now a praying man and that he had prepared;, Saul by the vision for the coming of Ananias. 2. Ananias' fear and hesitancy ( 13-16). He knew of Saul's mission and the authority by which he came. The Lord encouraged him to go, assuring him that Saul Is no longer an enemy, but a chosen vessel to bear His naros before the Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. 3. Auanfas obedience (v. 17). fears being removed, Ananias went to the house where Saul was staying, put hisv hands on him and affection ately addressed him as "brother." Tne savage persecutor Is now a brother Christ. He Informed Saul that tM Lord had sent him with a tw ofold missionl: (1) "That thou nug" receive thy right;" (2) "Be filled i the Holy Spirit." He received forthwith. It is not said as to wbetnw he received the Holy Ghost then, his life's work proves that he aa. 1? Saul baptized (vv. 18. Wa).
