CARE FOR POULTRY DISEASES
One Important Thing Is to Isolate All
Aling Fowls to Prevent Infection
of Whole Flock.

Poultry diseases usually are not so
very hard to handle, if they are under
stood, and hens are cared for properly.
One important thing is to isolate all
diseased birds, SO they will not infect
the rest of the flock.
Here are the common poultry dis
eases and the remedies:
Colds and Roup-Disinfect drinking
water as follows: To each gallon of
water add the amount of potassium
permangate that will remain on the
surface of dime.
Chicken Pox-Apply a touch of TO-
dine and carbolated vaseline to each
sore.
Gapes-New ground and vigorous
cultivation will often remedy this
trouble.
Scaly Leg-Apply vaseline to af.
fected parts, and after "a hours soak
in farm, soapy water. Repeat the
treatment until cured.
Diarrhea in Hens-Low grade wheat
-four or middlings is good for this
trouble.
Bowel Trouble in Chicks-Well-bo
ed rice mixed with little charcoal
will often check this complaint.

Rabbits Know ceooranbv

Since the Connecticut game law
went into effect there has been much
trouble along the state line over
Rhode Island shooters coming over
to this side. Connecticut game ward

along the line looking out for law
vio1ators who plead ignorance of the
state line whereabouts.
Two Providence men were fined

they hadn't caught any.

ENERGY FROM A SUGAR DIET
Experiments Have Shown That 1t Has
a Wonderful Effect Upon the
Human Body.

The psychologist who discovered
that your liver and your muscles
manufacture sugar while you sleep
has been supposed by the German
physician who uses sugar dissolved in
water as an excellent surgical dress
Ing for all sorts of wounds.
Drs Jacques Pansot and Pierre
Matthew have declared that when ami
mails eat sugar exclusively for long
periods their weight at first decreases,
soon begins to mend and then fall
away again as the diet continues.
DR. H. Head of Tacoma Park, ID. G.,
disagrees with the laboratory findings.
He says sugar is comparable to gaso-
line. AS the latter is the fuel OF the
internal combustion engine, SO sugar
is the fuel of the human machine.

The Crash.

The Crash.
Failed" calculated John Valiant
blankly, and the hat he held dropped
to the claret-colored rug like huge
white splotch of sudden fright. 1.-The
Corporation-failed!"
The young man was the glass OF
fashion, from the silken ribbon on the
spouess Panama to his pearl-gray gait

figure, with wide-set hazel eyes and
strong brown hair waving back from
q candid forehead.
Never had his innocuous and but
ter-fiy existence known a surprise
more startling. He had swung into
the room with all the nonchalant hab-
its, the ingrained gertrude of the man
born with achievement ready-made in
his hands. And single curt state
ment-like the ruthless blades of a
pair Of shears-had shipped across
the one splendid scarlet thread in the
wool that constituted life as he knew
it. He had knotted his lavender scarf
that morning a vice-president Of the
Valiant Corporation--one Of the great
est and most successful of modern
day organizations; ne sat now in the
fading afternoon trying to realize that
the huge fabric, without warning. had
toppled to it's fall.
How solid and changeless it had
always seemed-that great business
fabric woven by the father he could
so dimly remember! His own invested
fortune had been derived from the
great corporation the elder Valiant
had founded and controlled until his
death. With Almost unprecedented
earnings, it had stood as a very Glib
raltar of finance, type and sign Of
brilliant organization. Now, on the
heels of a trusts dissolution which
would be nine-days' wonder, the vast
structure had crumbled up like card
board. The rains had descended and
the floods had come, and it had fallen!
The man at the desk had wheeled
in his revolving chair and was looking
at the trim athletic back plotting the
daylight, with a smile that was little
short of a covert sheer. He was one
