set the precedent Of donating nothing but

men and women devoting their time and
energies to charitable work
A certain percentage OF donations will
be kept only In the schools where Il Is
known they can be used 20 advantage and
where they will help those who would
not otherwise receive assistance. The
educators and philaathroplsts are agreed
that the 500 teachers Of the city have the
most accurate Information regarding the
wants and needs Of tho 81 900 pupils who
constitute the training army OF citizen

sanctioned tho plan 10 keep clothing,

tural experts tell us, and you can grow
richer on paper raising turkeys than
raising chickens. But 1t has gotten so
now that in some states you can raise
turkeys only on paper.
His Two Appendices,
The trouble with tho turkey is his sp-
pendtx, or rather his appendices, for
fowls have two Of these bothersome in
cumbrances. 1t appears there has come
into the land in the last decade or two
an organism-to be exact, a protozoon-
which is thoroughly at home with the
chicken and leaves on this host practlc-
ally no i'll effects. but which is death TO
turkeys. II makes, first thing, for his
turkeyship's two appendices, cnlarges
and then chokes them up, notifies the
liver and works so much general distress
that the plagued and weakened bird lies
down and dies This disease is called
enterohepatits, but It is known and
dreaded wherever they raise turkeys as
"blackhead," because frequently, at one
stage of the disease, the head OF the
stricken bird turns black.
When this protozoon gets into a flock
of turkeys, it usually kills 20 per cent
OF the poults and about 20 per cent OF
the old birds. 1t Is 'blackhead," say the
experts Of the Department of Agriculture,
that has put New England out of the
turkey business. Rhode Island once was
famous for the number as well as the
quality of its turkeys. Now look at H.
Census Director Duraud could find but
Lice in the whole state, and they were
held at the exorbItant price OF Al5
apiece.
But there must be other causes than
"blackhead" that are responsible for the
dwindling in ten years Of $4,000 turkeys
down to 3OOO,OJ0, for all of the states OF
the union, save the four intermountain
states, show decreases ranging from 30
to so per cent since 1900. Much OF this
territory, especially in the south. is free
from "blackhead." and the trouble here
seems 10 be the sheer inability TO raise
turkeys equal to the demands OF the
cold storage plants for distribution
throughout the country. The turkev Is
an easy bird 10 hatch, but a difficult one
10 bring through the poult stage. and
the farms IN the unaffected territory, Il
appears, are simply unable 70 replenish
the stock taken annually by the cold
storage plants 10 supply those sections
where disease has wiped out almost an
of the native flocks.
Hence the Upward Price.

FAREWELL TO THE TURKEY
Joyous Bird of Thanksgiving Starts
a Census Dirge.
woEFUL DECREASE IN CROI
Owing to n Combination of Evils
the American Turkey Sup

been Cut In Half.

Possibly the most cherries informa-
ton conveyed by tho census is that soon
we may no longer know the great Ameri-
Fan table bird. e. Dana Durand, direc-
or Of the census, has just finished count
ing the American turkey. and he finds
his ranks decimated in every common
wealth OF the union, save in four distant
intermountain states. where, hemmed in
by insurmountable barrier of transporta-
ton rates, he has escaped the cold-storage
plant and canning factory.
Between the cholera, the "backhead. -
and the AK, this bird that has gobble-
sobbled his way into the affections of the
American people is wasting rapidly. Per-
laps soon his name win be but memory
and future generations may know him but
by the picture on the can. This much is
, certain: Unless times for him change
for the better, there will not be enough OF
him left TO go around for a bite apiece
on Thanksgiving day, and there will be as
much real turkey in the gaudily labeled
can as there is OF true diamond back IN

POST MORTEM CUT.uPS

The perfection of the phonograph
has made il possible to perform some
SreEs0me feats unknown in the
simpler DAYS OF cur fathers Occa-
sIonaily one reads OF some man
preaching bis own funeral sermon or
OF some woman furnishing solo music
at her own interment Now comes a
story from Chicago that two men who
have been dead four years entertain
ed their old club with famous stories
and songs which had been made upon
phonographic records several wears
ago. 1t is positively uncanny to
think of familiar voices coming back
out of the world OF shades in laughter
and merry jest The members Of the
Chicago club appeared to have no
compunctions about this form OF en-
tertainment, yet it is hardly probable
that post mortem witticisms will be-
come universally popular
One Of the most variable services
of the phonograph il in the fact that
IL enables practically every one 10 en-

the opportunity for enjoyment and
education will become universal But
IN masterpiece OF music or Of ora
tory there is something OF the imper
sonal as well as Of dignity and exalta-
ton. It is not as though our close
friends who nad gone before are
