recently given to the public by DR..
Walter Kern of the Institute for Path
illogical Anatomy in Vienna.
For two years lat Doctor Kern's re-
quest death attests in the General
hospital, Vienna, we're marked by the
attending physicians with the state
ment as to whether the patient hap
pened to be drunkard or not. or
course, the report which came in as
a consequence of this inquiry was far
below the reality. Many patients, who
were genuine drinkers. would describe
themselves as very moderate, and
many Of the physicians in attendance
would not have sufficient interest to
make thoroughgoing inquiry. New
ertheless the conclusion was serious
enough. In all, 4,130 cases were OBJ
served. OF the adult males S.39 per
cent were of a certainty drunkards.
In other words, every eleventh or

GOOD DOSE FOR BLACKHEAD
VIII Prevent Dread Disease
Separate Ailins Birds.

II the young turkeys, or poults, most
people speak of them, begin to droop
and die, and before death show up
with a yellow, watery discharge, the
first thing to be done is to change the
ration entirely, as it might merely be
indigestion. Then, for fear that it
isn't, separate the sick from the well,
and open one of the dead poults. If
you find the liver badly spotted and
the blind intestines (the two short
Ones) decidedly showing Inflammation,
then the matter is serious and the
poults have the blackhead, and recov-
cry is doubtful. However, one can
try. Get the we'll fowls to themselves,
feed light bread and milk, In which is

meal Give each poult half teaspoon

four or five drops Of turpentine, Each
day after, don't miss the dosage of
turpentine once a day-from two drops
TO five or six for the younger poults,

Because overcrowding in small
coops placed near the ground tends.
to injure the health of young chick
ems, 1t is advisable to teach them to
use perch roosts as early as possible
and practicable. This is the opinion
Of James G. Halpin, in charge of the
poultry department OF the University
Of Wisconsin's college OF agriculture.
Halpin also lays much OF the blame
for mortality among young chickens
from roup and similar diseases during
the early winter months to neglect
on the part of their owners In seeing
that they are placed on roosts early
in the season.
When chickens are left out on cold
nights in an improvised shelter they
are sure to huddle closely together. In
this way the bodily temperature is
raised above normal and they become
easily subject to colds, which often

on a modern warship need not only
personal courage, but also absolute
steadiness of nerve, clearness of Wis

Surgeon General BREASTED has full

The beginner will do well to begin

grow until it reaches the stage where
it becomes unwieldy. How soon and
at what point this stage Is reached de-
ponds entirely upon the person who is

There are only a few poultrymen
capable of carrying on with profit a
business where the hens are counted
by the thousands, though SO many
are making the hundreds profitable
that the poultry products of the Unit
ed States equal those Of the dairy in
value.
An expensive outfit is not only un-
necessary, but unadvisable. Use the
ruder forms to begin with, and make
the profits pay for the more elaborate
buildings. If they cannot do this,
you do not need the buildings. A
warm, and especially dry situation Is
the prime requisite. OF course, there
must be good ventilation.
Many secure this by using cloth In
stead of glass in the windows. The
method admits light, and at the same
time allows for the circulation OF air
without danger of draft. Use new
muslin Of light weight, preferably un,
'bleached, as it is stronger. Old cloth
may seem good enough when it is put
in place; but before you are aware
it will be torn by a hard wind and the
| damage done to the flock will more
than counterbalance the supposed
economy in using half-worn cloth.
The material used for the building
will depend largely upon circum
stances. Some have had excellent re
suits with only the shelter afforded
by old rails and corn fodder. But In
other locations this would not be al
economical plan. The plan of using
two piano boxes, removing the top ant

in his own practise in which the
pain has been relieved quickly, some
times by tho first application and the
fluid that has exuded into the joint

within a few days.
Potato juice is used as an ointment,
liniment or plaster. The raw po-

press; the starch and heterogeneous mat
ter are removed and the juice is
boiled down until it is made five times
as strong as when fresh; glycerine is
