Prevention of Consumption


To the Health Officials, Physicians
and People of Kentucky:
Consumption is the most common
and fatal disease with which the peo-
pie OF Kentucky are afflicted. 1t pro-
duces moro than twice as many deaths
as any other disease. causing one
death out Of every elk, as shown by
the Official certificates returned to
the Bureau OF Vital Statistics for
the first seven months of the year
1911. Our reports show that there
have been 6,0S5 cases of tuberculosis
under treatment by tho doctors Of
Kentucky since January 1. 1911, and
that 1925 have died in seven months
since. the death rate being SO per
cent.
AS II is now definitely known 10
be a communicable germ disease, .
large part Of this sickness and mort
ality can and ought TO be prevent
ed. Careful and extended investi-
cation and observation has demon
strated that the chief source of
danger is from the sputum or ex-
perforated matter OF consumptives,
which contains the germs or seed of
the disease in countless numbers. and
that such sputum is especially dan
eerous after IL has dried. The germs
may be constantly found in the air
and dust from the carpets walls and
furnishings Of rooms occupied by con-
sumptives. where every precaution
is not taken TO collect and disinfect
such sputum as fast as II is expector-
ated. Most patients constantly re-
infect themselves by failing 10 de-

DISTINCT VALUE OF PICTURES
Care in Selection and Hanging viii
Be Well Repaid in Increased
Pleasure Afforded.

ga room hung with pictures is a
room hung with beautiful thoughts"
How many of us give the right
amount of careful thought in hanging
pictures on our walls? Do we ever
think of the pleasure and effect on
ourselves of the paintings or prints
that are constantly before our eyes?
"That chrome makes me wild" says
one protesting esthetic woman, as she
gazes on a relic of the barbarous age
in art. 1t is a wildly colored print of
a very old and very ugly Juliet lean
ing over the balcony in the arms Of a
Romeo who would not take a prize
for anything except climbing up a
vine. The walnut frame Is old and
matches the execrable "whatnot" of
our mothers time The whole thing
is unpleasant, badly drawn, badly col
ored and absolutely out of place, and
yet it hangs on, simply because some
dead aunt saw fit to give it at an an
niversary!
Pictures should please. They should
educate and elevate. They should be
OF the SOOd painters. HOW IlCu Is tho
treasure from which we can choose!
How wonderful are the modern re-
productions at ridiculously little cost!
Begin now to tear down the mean
ingless prints that speak nothing to
you. Hang upon your walls restful,
beautiful pictures that will have just
as much effect, psychologically, on
your nerves, your mind, your soul, as
the companions Of your hours.

BEAUTY NO LONGER A MARVEL

ness of Women.

Within the last week two well-known,
beautiful, rich society girls, both
young, both popular, with all doors to
which society has the key flung open
before them, have elected to go into an
East End hospital and scrub floors for
pauper invalids. Perhaps they will
not stick to it; the important thing is
that they want to try it.
The fact is that we are no longer
sufficiently satisfied with beauty to
think woman has justified herself by
being good to look at. Thirty or forty
part of the world to see Georgiana

an earlier date the beautiful Cummings

to see them. Anne of Austria drew

ners Of what was then very inacces-
sib1e world, who made their way with
year-long journeys to Paris, caught a
glimpse of her entering her carriage
and went home again saying they had
seen loneliness itself. Today we
would not cross the road to see pref

Chickens must have green food.
All hens like to lay in dark nest
boxes
The hens will relish feed of scald-

Never set thin, lousy hen. She

Chickens are often considered a
nuisance by the farmer.
On cold evenings the hens must be
sent to roost with full crops.
A little cayenne pepper in the mash
will warm the hens up and help cure
colds.
Especially at this time of the year,
the fireless brooder is to be recon-
mended.
Coal oil and carbolic acid are good
lice and mite killers as we'll as dis
infectantS.
Some hens seem to know when it
is feeding time. 1t will pay you to
humor them and be prompt and regu-
lar.
Sprouted oats is perhaps the best
and cheapest green food in winter. 1t
is also good for fowls penned up in
summer
1t is best that the young turkeys be-
come accustomed to their attendant
and to all persons and animals about
the place.
Ashes scattered about the floor
help to keep it clean, help keep the
air pure and have some value as dis
infectants.
For early matches it is best to give
not more than eleven eggs to a hen,
or those on the outer edge may be-
come exposed and chilled.
Any egg eaters In the flock? Make
the nests as dark as possible; that
will help. If that doesn't discourage
the culprit, sharpen up the ak.

Look out for drafts under and

1t is seldom necessary to grind corn

Too much corn has caused the loss

the loss Of the SOW as well.

GIVE THE BOY SMALL FLOCK
Ten or Twelve Fowls and Has
Been Found Satisfactory.
By MRS. K. A. GRIMESD

If boy has fowls of his own, he
will want to manage them so as to
keep them separate from the other
poultry on the farm. The following
plan which is arranged to acconamo-
date ten or twelve hens and a male,
has been found satisfactory.
The coop in question is five feet
wide and twelve feet long, giving a
floor space of sixty square feet-f1ve
or six square feet per hen. 1t is six
feet high at the front and four feet
at the back, and is built from cheap
lumber and covered with tarred roof
ing.
The door into the GOOD is put. at c~e
end Of the front wall. It is closed with
a frame covered with wire netting hav-
ing curtain of muslin on the inside
for use in the cold weather. The up
per half of the remaining part of the
front is also left open and covered
with netting, with an inside muslin
curtain.
In the warm weather these curtains
are kept rolled up, but in cold weather
they are let down over the openings.
The only other openings ia the coop
are fosr little square doorways, eight
by ten inches in size.
In the center of the back wall, two
feet above the floor, fasten a frame
two feet wide and three feet long
carrying two roosting poles This
frame should be hinged to the wall,
SO it can be raised out Of the way
when desired.
Under it, foot from the floor.

catch the droppings. Do not. fasten
this anywhere, as you will want to
take it up to clean 1t.
On the front corners of the roost,
ing frame put legs foot long, which
should rest on this dropping board
when the roost is lowered in place
Have both resting poles the same
height, not set so the frame will slant
On the ceiling, directly above the
roost, nail strips of inch board so as
to make a frame the same size, or a
trif1e larger, than the roost itself.
To this tack strips of burlap-sack

Unearned Praise.

He was only poor little messenger
boy
When the young woman stepped in
to the elevator on the first floor of
the Williamson building it was crowd
ed with big men-and that messenger
boy. In an instant the boy snatched
his hat from his head.
One by one, but with shamed
bushes, the men in the elevator fol-
lowed suit The young woman was
not handsome, but she was neat and
trim and self-possessed. Quickly she
turned to the lad and said:
''You are a little gentleman-one Of
the old-fashioned sort!" and she fash
ed wonderfully sweet smile upon
him.
The child looked at her in amaze
ment. He had been fumbling with his
cap, but now he found the message he
had stuck in its sweatband, took it
out, stuck his cap on his head and be-
gan to whistle.

Ants Eat Through Lead Cables.

White ants are causing much trou-
BILE in South Australia in telephone
cables and also in the underground
electric light lines. On the lead
sheathed telephone cables crosses be-
tween the circuits began to occur.
Upon withdrawing some Of this cable
from the ducts it was found that the
ants had eaten through the lead in
many places. On the Sidney system
Of electric lighting the ants ate
through the bitumen compound and
then through the lead and high ten
sion insulation next to the wire. To
stop the ravages which will incur an
enormous expense if not checked,
arsenious oxide mixed with bitumen,
a sort of pitch, is being applied to the
cables. Carbon bisulphide is also be-
ing tried with the idea that the odor
will drive the ants away.

Care of the Brooder.

Brush out the breeders every other
day, changing the material used in
floor covering. This may be of bran,
sand, sawdust, or paper, but must be
dry. Damp bedding induces disease
every time.
When it is necessary to wash the
brooder choose a warm, sunny day, so
that the chicks will not need it, and
it can be thoroughly dried before re-
turning them at night. If these con-
ditions cannot be complied with, a
temporary brooder may be used for
the day by means of a box and one or
two jugs of hot water well wrapped
in flannel, the latter serving the
double purpose Of holding in the heat
and preventing chick being crowd
ed up and burnt.
