A disease commonly known as swol.
en- head Of turkeys is described In the
Journal Of Agricultural Science. The
most characteristic symptom 10 an ex
tensive swelling about the head, which |
becomes so enlarged that the birds are
unable to see. The swelling Is due to
an accumulation Of gelatinous sub
stance In the infraorbitaI cavity. This
swelling may disappear IN short time
or may persist for several months.
The swellings contain cheesy, foul
smelling material, and death may take
place without regard to the apparent
severity Of the disease The LESSONS
are confined to the head except for an
occasional distension Of the coca.
Bacilli related TO the dIphtheria bacil-
lus are frequently found In the exu-
iatlon. but no organism mas been def
nitely shown to b. the primary cause
OF the disease.

Farm Labor In New York STATE.


The American Agriculturist contains
brief statements from several farmers
In different parts OF New York state
relating TO the farm labor problem.
The general trend of the replies indi-
Gates that good farm labor is scarce,
that wages for day labor range from
SIPS to $3.50 per day and monthly
wages from $40 to 1913 with board for
ten hours work per day and that the
scarcity Of work In cities is bringing
back to the farm those who were born
and brought up thereon. The encour-
agement Of the immigration Of farm
labor from the United Kingdom, Ger
many, Sweden and other European
countries Is advocated as remedy.

THE POPE SAYS MASS.
Many Old Customs Prevail.
Why Trumpets Are Blown.

The Papal Mass of the present day
contains many customs of the earlier
liturgy. This great ceremony takes
place on Easter. Christmas and ST.
Peters day, June %. The deacon and
sub-deacon at this mass are both car
dinals.
The Epistle and Gospel are read in
both Latin and Greek, says the Rosary
Magazine. The Pope elevates h Host
at the centre and toward each side of
the altar. The cardinal-deacon of the
Gospel makes a second "ostension,"
elevating first the Host and then the
chalice.
The Pope returns to the throne after
the Lords Prayer and PA Domini,
and the deacon brings the Host to him,
the Pope kneeling while the deacon
comes from the altar to the throne, but
rising to receive Holy Communion.
There have been many discussions
concerning the communion at the
throne and as far back as Innocent Ill.
we find in this Pope's writings: "The
Roman Pontiff does not communicate
where he breaks'--that Is, where he
breaks the Host in the mass-"he
breaks at the altar, but communicates
at his seat; the reason for this being
that Christ broke the bread before the
disciples at Emmaus, but ate before
the twelve disciples at Jerusalem
ST. Bonaventure writes that this rite
mas express the passion Of our Lord,
who suffered exposed to the general
view, with everyone passing around
Him. It is certain that the deacon
bringing the eucharist TO the bishop is
a very ancient ceremony, coming down
from the days when the saying of a
was in every wav-ir act and signiti-
catior-.nade ? united and common
action. ard when the bishop did not
perform ali the liturgy at the altar, rs
the ~celebrant OF the mas Of the pres
ent day does.
At tie elevation in the Pope's mass
no bell Is Tung. The ancient rubric di-
rected that the he'll at conservation
should be u at q low mass, but not
at d high mass. where it. is easier TO
follow the action of the celebrant. This
explains how tine clear-toned silver
trurapets came into use. These t%ruiIpcts
are sounded from within the dome Of
S.. Peters at the conservation during
the Pope's mass, a sound which has
been seldom heard since the eventful
year of 1870.
The pax is given at the usual place
by the Pope 70 the cardinal-bishop
(who, as assistant priest, represented
the ~archdeacon of Rome Of Did times),
then to two assistant observation-disclosures,
keeping the kiss of peace for the car
dinal-deacon of the Gospel, until after
communion. on other occasions, in his
low in our times, the Pope kisses
the instrument called the pax, intro
duced in later times. In other ways
the Pope's low mass does not differ
from that of any bishop.

NEW AUTO RIDE DODGE.

There is more than one way to get
a free auto ride" said the nan who is
his OWE chauffeur. ~ learned one of
tie unusual ways the other day, I was

of the street. waved his arms, jumped
up and down, and shouted, Stop! l

car.
There's n thief ahead in another
auto, he said. Chase him
'Then he told an exciting story about
somebody grabbing his watch and get
ting away in an automobile. He was
pretty sure he would recognize both the
man and the car if he could only catch
them. Would ] try to catch them? I
certainly did try at a record smashing

said he guessed he might as we'll give
it up. We had passed scores OF auto
mobiles on the way, but non of them

left my auto a friend came along in his
car.
Who was that chap?' he asked.

DOES THE PRESIDENT
NEED SALARY RAISE?
Question Asked by Believer in
JeffersOnian Simplicity.

The approval of the law to allow the
President of the United States 800 900 q
year." said Anderson F.. Mckenra, of
Boston, Mass, to a New York Telegram
reporter, has stirred up considerable
talk, not because people object to Civ
ing the President the additional $50, 900
if he needs it, but rather on account
of the principle behind the suggestion.
IF the President needed a million
dollars a ear | do not think the people
would hesitate about giving it to him,
but they naturally ask why does he
want so much money.
'"rhe assumption is he wants to en-
terrain more lavishly, particularly the
distinguished guests who are coming
to see us. It is said that some of the
noblemen who have visited our shores
during the last decade have been en-
tertaincd so eXt%rayasantly by a few
of their private friends that they have
been impressed with the actual 'pov-
erty' of a reception at our executive
mansion.
This may be so, but it may also be
true that these same titled visitors
have departed with the knowledge that
we may have Il number of vulgar rich
who arc ready to kow-tow to them. but
the country itself still preserves,
through the medium Of its modest state
dinners and functions. the fundamental
ideas upon which it was founded.
IF the President really needs the
money let him have it, hut If the pur-
pose is to use the money to turn the
White House into an imitation of some
pork packers palace. then the people
win say he does not need it,
