to disinfectants, and will live on prem
ises for years. Affected fowls develop
wart-like growths on the comb, on
wattles, in corners of eyes and
mouth, sometimes forming ulcers on
the membranes OF the eyes, mouth and
throat. The disease Develops most
rapidly during damp seasons.
For prevention, keep the poultry
houses sanitary, provide plenty of

frequently with 4 per cent solution

To treat affected birds, remove the

Over Two Hundred Men Gathered at the Associa- tion Building and Had Time of Their Respective Lives

Although the home firesiGes were far away, in many cases across the water, and the loved ones usually associated with the Christmas cheer were away eff somewhere in the dim recesses of the memory, about two hundred young. middle aged and old men sat down last evening 10 a din- ner that was calculated and did drive away the loneliness which usually assaiIs those in such a position at this season. The Y NJ. C. A.. for the third time. played the part of bountiful host to all the men in the city away from home,
 So wei! did the association play the host that large void in all the hearts was completely filled up. A dinner. or rather what is better than a dinner a turkey feast, was spread on the tables. To keep the birds company there were all the neces- sarv requisites and trimmings .that usually go with such a spread That the meal was enjoyed by the men would be putting it extremely mild. Many a belt was let out to the last notch. and many a youngster wished he had quit after the pie lad been around. or at least before he had downed a peck or so of nuts. and a few apples and oranges.
 During the meal a quintette from the Tuskegee Institute sang planta ,ion melodies and generally disported themselves in such a way that the applause was so voctferous as 10 bring them back time after time.

Whom Wives Were Sold.

When the war between Britain and
France ended in 1915 many Of the
English soldiers found that their wives
had married again in the belief that
they were widows. The formal sell
ing Of the wife was regarded among
the ignorant as legal solution to the
problem thus presented. and it is said
that the authorities Of the day deemed
1t best to shut their eyes at the pro
ceeding. A certain amount of formal
lty had to be observed. however. be.
fore the sale was considered legal even
by the most ignorant. Yorkshire
writer mentions two conditions which
must be carried out to make sat
isfactory sale-the price Of the wife
must not be less than shilling (24
cents). and she must be delivered
to her purchaser with new halter
around her neck. The same writer re-
cords the case of the woman who zeal.
ously preserved the receipts for her
self as q proof Of responsibility.

when some one in India or Africa

with an agent in New York, and the
rest is easy. There are a number Of

Differing radically In appearance from

and operate them with one crew as n
