christmas and Santa CIau.

A good Adventist brother sal,
u, Times man a copy of the
" atchman" this week. and We
no'e that leading article wopld
'ena "a, to prove that the anniversary
OF ohrlst's birth should properly
co come in September, therefore tbe
10th of December is no more ~
the Christian world than anv
other day, and should be treatad
as such. While history would
seem to bear out this statement
II Is just as true that the exact
date is obscure, for while tbo
shepherds would not be ABIDING
IN the fields" on the desert Of
'udea IN the rainy, winter season
OF December, it is just as hard to
determine the time when thev |
were directed to the lowlv bed |
"nere Jesus lay in manger.
But what is the difference? if
'ne Christian people can agree on
a date, it is just as sacred and
means just as much to the av.
erage Individual as if the dav
were authenticated by all kinds Of
evidence. Tt is the knowledge
that others are observing the time
that brings a benediction to it and
makes it sacred among the other
festival days.
Another good brother protested
70 the Times man this week against
ieceiving the children with the I
promise of gifts from Santa Claus. +
Butts jolly st. Nicholas a myth?

Do You Care to Eat CoasumOtiye
Chickens I? :

SNCkenS
A chicken pie made from the
consumptive remains of vener-.
able hen, whose long and honor
able career has at last been brought
to close is not appetizipg to
think of.
1t is not generally understood
that chickens are affected with tu-
berculosis almost as frequently as
human beings. A very common
method of giving fowls this disease
is in the feeding of table scraps,
it one of the family is tu berculous.
Another very dangerous manner Of
infection is allowing strangers or
other visitors to spit in the chick
en- yards. Milk firm tuberculous
COWS is also a source of infection.
The germ causing this disease in
poultry is the 'avian" type of
the tubercle bacillus, and resem-
bles very much the causative of
human tuberculosis. The germs
are thin, rod like, and SO small that
it takes over twelve thousand of
them laid lengthwise to an inch.
The disease is difficult to detect
in the living fowl The general
health of the flock seems below
par, and they are not thrifty. The
combs are pale; they eat raven
ously but do not gain in weight,
and are often lame, due to diseased
joints. Some of the common
names applied to chicken con-
sumption are spotted liver" and
going light
In dressing the fowl, small vel
low Jumps of a gritty sandy ma
.ure are found in the liver, lungs
Or intestines. The lungs may be
:ull of cheesy chunks the size of
,hot. l.
There is no cure known at pres
INT for this disease. Prevention
s absolutely necessary. Should
'ou find it in your flock, better
Iestroy and burn them. Disinfect
he poultry house, yards and runs
Eith ten per cent solution Of ]:

that the village board has already
considered the matter of opening
up the street, and do away with
