WHEN FOWLS HAVE COLDS.
A Quartet of Remedies Sent to Boy.
er-Take Your Choice.


NJ. K. Boyer, one of the editors of the
American Poultry Journal, asked a
number OF poultrymen:
What do you consider the simplest
and most effective remedy for colds in
fOwls?" Following are a few Of the
answers received:
D. G.. Adams & Son, New Haven,
Conn: Scoop the afflicted bird and
drop two drops of coal oil above each
nostril; then give a reaspoonful of ep-
som salts in half pint of water This
proves sure cure with u.s.
j. j. Stage, Spokane, Wash: 81 have
cured several in three days time that
had badly swelled heads. One hen was
so bad that she could not see to eat.
1 anointed the head and throat thor
Oughly with a standard Iiniment twice
a day.
II. Fuller, CIarinda, Ia: "I can safe
ly say there is nothing on earth to
equal onions as a remedy for colds in
poultry. If you have a valuable bird
put her in a moderate warm, dry pen,
grease her head well with bacon fat
and work some in the roof of the
mouth. See that the opening there is
clear of mucus, Feed balls of meal.
with a good sound strong onion
chopped in it The bird will soon re-
cover. Onions are a good preventive of
colds. For the past twenty-five years
l have used no other remedy, and 1
have bred and reared as large a num-
Der as any man I know Of"
Nathan B. Hartford. WatertOwn,
Mass: For colds in fowls I have used
with very good results, where the ILL
ness is general or when not having Op-
pOrtunity to treat individuals, a small
amount of pine tar placed upon q few
shavings and an old iron dish This
set on fire at night while the fowls
were on the roOst. 1 shut the doors
and windows closely for ten to fifteen
minutes and in most cases effected
cure Be sure to get the pure pine and
not coal tar for this purpose. Repeat
once or twice if the fowls are badly
affected. L have found an excellent
remedy in more advanced cases and
especially where there has been dis
charge from nOstril, swollen eyes, etc,
In the use of peroxide of hydrogen. /
place the fowl under left arm and
with the aid of an oil can inject into
the nOstriI a few drops of this prepa-
ration, using care 90 wipe with a small
piece of cloth any of the mucus which
will soon appear on eye and noStril
After this repeat the dose and place
the treated fowl in a pen away from
others. This is also a quick relief for
canke- in the throat, but care must be
taken not to allow too much to enter
the windpipe, as the hydrogen causes
the accumulation to fOment and will
strangle the fowl. Care must be taken
also to cleanse the hands and burn the
cloth used on sick birds to prevent the
spread Of this disease. AcOnite or
spOngia used in the drinking water is
also beneficial, but the first two are
very effective and, 1 think, sure cure
for colds"

Peruna:
"I am glad to write my endorse

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
centers become bIoodIess for want of
proper nutrition. This is especially true
In the spring season. Every spring a
host of invalids are produced as the di-
rect result of weak nerves.
This could be easily obviated by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the difficulty by correcting the

MEETING OF CABINET
G'OLITICs AND FINANCE THE MAT
TIERS UNDER DISCUSSION.
President Congratulated by the Menu
bers of His Onicial Family on
His Speech Of Acceptance.
Treasury Balance Low.

Washingtor< July 29.-Politics and
finance and some miner departmental
matters were the features Of to-day's
cabinet meeting.
The session lasted longer than us
ual, although only Eve members OF
the cabinet were present. The politi-
cal situation was considered in an in
formal and general way, the members
of the cabinet taking occasion to con-
graduate the President on his speech
of acceptance.
There was some talk on the part OF
the various members of the cabinet are
to take In the campaign. No detailed
arrangements for their participation
have yet been made. Secretary Morton
took up briefly with the President the
subject of the appointment of chief
of the Bureau Of Navigation of the
Navy Department to succeed Rear Ad-
miral Taylor.
Later the selection of Rear Admiral
Converse to fill the vacancy was an
uounced. a,,ss.,--7SS
Conditions of the treasury, as re-
CARDS the working balance in the de-
partment, were considered with the
President by Secretary Shaw. Thus
far during July the expenditures of the
government have exceeded the receipts
by about $20.000,000. AS a result, the
WORKING DaIance or the treasury has
fallen below $4,000. 900. This fact has
suggested the possibility of making a
call on national bank repositories for
a part of the deposits of the govern
ment in their vaults.
Secretary Shaw Is convinced, how
ever, that no call will be necessary
perhaps for a considerable time, and
so informed the President. The large
expenditures during July were quite
natural. he pointed out. and are no
more considerable than usual in the
first month of the fiscal year. He be-
lieves no apprehension need exist on
account of the temporary reduction of
the governments working balance to
below the $50.000,000 limit, as that fig
ure, 1t was. explained was merely ira
ditional. applying practically only to
the time when the government had lit
tie or no money on deposit with banks
The treasury now has about $112,0OO.-
GOO of deposits in national banks.

of Russians at Port Arthur
Growing Scarce.

Cheefoo, July 30.-Refugees who have
just arrived from Port Arthur. confirm
previous reports that a general assault
has been begun by the Japanese on
that fortress, and, they declare the
Russians are sanguine that the Japan
csc could not succeed in capturing the
place even though they had twice as
many troops.
The Russians. according to the refu-
gees, are still hoping for succor from
General Kuropatkin. They are unwill-
ing to believe the reports of his defeat
at Tatche Kiao. The refugees further
confirm the reports that the Russian
fleet is in a state of repair. but say
that the feet is unwilling to attack
that of Admiral Togo on account of
the mines which the Japanese place
nightly at the entrance of the harbor.
1t is believed at Port Arthur that
IL the Vladivostok squadron or REIN
forcements from General Kuropatkin
should arrive the Russian feet would
take the risk of going out.
Ammunition is said to be growing
scarce and the large fort guns are not
often discharged. Attempts to manu-
facure ammunition in Port Arthur are
reported to have been failures.
