GAPES GET WEAK CHICKENS
II Fowls Are Kept Dry, Thrifty and
Well Fed They VIII Seldom 10
Subject to Disease.
CBy w. b. LEUrz)

Perhaps II would not do to say that
all chickens that die from gapes are
those that are poorly fed and cared
for, but It is undeniably true that II
the chickens are well fed on feeding
boards and kept dry and thrifty they
viii seldom be attacked.
It is generally believed that gapes
are produced by minute worms which
are propagated in the soil II follows
that If the chickens are fed on the
same ground all through the season
they are more liable to be troubled by
the gapes than If they are fed on dry
floors
Preventative is better than cure
always and II the chickens are fed on
dry floors for the first few weeks OF
their lives and the yards IN which
they run changed two or three times
during the season they will seldom
suffer from the gapes.
We believe that this trouble is the
result of poorly kept quarters Just as
lice and mites come when the coops
and grounds are neglected We have
never yet heard of an epidemic Of
gapes in flock Of chicks where every
sanitary precaution was taken and
they were cared for just as they
should be.
When you come to study this asser-
ton you viii see that high standard
is set for the amateur chicken-raiser.
but II il is maintained your chickens
will not die from games.
To those whose focks are suffering
the best cure is a simple one-car-
bolic acid
AS soon as the chicks show signs
Of gapes make a small coop with two
compartments. an upper and lower.
l Place a hot brick in the lower one
and drop on it three or four drops Of
carbolic acid The upper compart
ment in which the chickens are placed
should not be air tight as the young
sters will suffocate. but it should be
tight enough to cause them to sneeze
and show considerable agitations.
One or two careful treatments in
this way will kill the worms in the all
passages and it is time for the owner
of the flock TO put his chicks on new
ground, disinfect their roosting guar
ters and everything else about the
place il he would keep them healthy

ANTITRUST BILLS
To Be HELD BACK
Wilson Declares Currency
Measure Must First Be
Made Into Law.

Refusing to permit the currency Ques-
ton to be overshadowed by any other
legislation which the Administration
has In mind. President Wilson has re-
jected a suggestion that his so-called
antitrust bills be introduced in the
House during the present special ses-
sion while the Senate is debating the
Owen-Glass bill.
The antitrust legislation, therefore,
win be deferred until the regular ses-
sion. The President has already mapped
out a tentative program with Senator
Newlands, chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Comerce, and Con-
gressman Clayton, chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee. He is
careful, however, in discussing the mat
ter with callers. to explain that the
proposed antitrust legislation. like the
tariff bill and the currency measure,
should not be considered as the Presi-
DENTS personal measures, but the re-
suits of common counsel"
The antitrust bills are expected to
be patterned after the seven sister
laws Of New Jersey, enacted at the
dictate of the President while he was
governor of that State. They will pro-
pose among other things a prohibition
- fnter-locking directorates. SO graphic
ally eSnosed by the Pujo committee.
IN the same way that he wishes to
bring out the antitrust legislation as
the product of common counsel the
PRESIDENT has been paw ng the way for
his conservation program by informal
taiks with Secretaries Lane and Hous-
ton. -
In the meantime, however, the Presi-
Gent is stiffening his backbone for the
hnal struggle with the Senate over the
currency bill. The multiplicity of sug-
gesfions regarding amendments which
the comm ttee might make, such as
reduction in the number of regional re-
serve banks, public subscription to the
stock of the reserve banks. and other
dfyertfng ideas are not being received
by the President with favor
He told callers today that the bony
structure of the bill is essential to its
nesn, and that the fundamental features
or the measure as indorsed by him are
not subject to change. He made ii plain
that his position is not drawn with a
chalk line subject to erasure, and indi-
Gated, in short, that he would oppose
biil. -
Chairman Owen, of the Senate Bank
ing and Currency Committee, had a long
talk with the President this morning.
and assured him that the outlook for
an early report by the committee is
good. He did not indicate, however,
when that report would be made. Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo also con-
ferred with the President on the status
Of the bin.
