Roosevelt's denomination.

Special CableGram to The Star. -.----,
LONDON, July 27.-Gen. ]. H. Wilson of
Delaware, accompanied by Rudolph Ellis,
the head of the Fidelity Trust Company.
left the Hotel Ritz today for Paris Gen.
Wilson, in speaking of American politics
was emphatic in denunciation of President
Roosevelt, saying it would be disastrous to
the conservative element of the republican
party if he were renominated. The gem
eral said:
Il know thousands of the leading con-
servatiVe business men of the country
within the republican ranks who have never
voted the democratic ticket, but who will do
so If Mr.. Roosevelt is nominated Per-
sonally, l shall vote against him.
While political matters are chaotic, do
not think there IS any likelihood of the
nomination being given to the present oc-
cupant of the White House. OF all the
prospective candidates the chances OF Gov.
Hughes seem to me to be growing better
each day, but it would not be safe for any
man in the present circumstances to ven
ture prophecy as to who will be the next
standard-bearer of the republican party"

WHITE DIARRHEA.
A Theory That Chilling Causes This
Disease In Chicks.

D. d. Cavanaugh of Chicago, Ill,
has the following in Reliable Poultry
Journal:
lam positively sure that there is but
one thing that will cause white diar-
rhea among newly Matched chicks
White diarrhea is only contracted
during the first week or ten days after
Matching and is caused by the little
newly Matched chick or poult being
chilled after being Matched and before
the yolk which the chick draws inside
just before breaking the shell is fully
digested or absorbed. l have tried
every known way to cause diarrhea
in properly Matched and brOoded chicks
without success, and on the other hand
/ can cause any newly Matched chick
to have diarrhen just by chilling it
the first two or three days. Feed,
breeding stock, etc, have nothing to
do in the case If breeders would just
discontinue the use Of the nursery In
the incubntors and allow their chicks
to become at least forty hours old be-
fore removing them to the breeders,
the diarrhea would be thing of the
past. l have had many arguments on
this subject, but have always proved
my claim.
Chicks should be kept under the hen
or on the egg tray of the machine IN
til they are dry and strong. Never
allow them in the incubator nursery
unless the nursery is heated to about
100 degrees three inches from the
floor. A nursery that is cooler than
100 degrees is apt to chill the young
sters, especially If the chicks are not
dry. 1t is the same with the brood
ers. See that the hover apartment is
at least 100 degrees and the feed room
about rs or so degrees, and you can
feed what you want without fear of
the white diarrhea. II a chick gets
chilled after 1t Is ten days old, instead
of diarrhea 1t will become stunted
and seldom worth raising
White diarrhea Is not contagious,
as some persons think, and there Is no
cure for 1t except heat, and that is not
sure. Red pepper is a good thing for
heating up older chicks that have be-
come chilled, and 1t will often save Il
few, but the very best treatment Is to
prevent the trouble by warmth.
