they have sufficient range.
The chance for profit in the production
of turkeys has improved greatly as re-
suit of a more general use OF the flesh.
Some years ago they were used only for
roasting, but now are used to a great
extent as cold cuts for sandwiches and
for salads, and large numbers of poults
are used for broilers. Late hatched poults
do well for this purpose, and while there
cannot be much opportunity for growing
poults to mature when they are hatch
ed late in the season, they may be sold
for broilers at good profit. No dish
is valued more in large cities than the
broiled poult.
Turkeys that are Matched early in the
spring should grow to weigh from four
teen to twenty pounds by Thanksgiving
week. These weights are often exec. dei
by the best growers, but as they are the
most popular and most readily produced
they are the most advisable. The aver
age yield of turkey hens is from eighteen
to thirty eggs. each of which can be
usually counted on to produce a living
poult- The question Of profit from keep
ing turkeys simply resolves itself in the
ability of the grower to bring them to a
marketable size.

ed labor. He expects them to see
through the transparent trickery in

that should rally organized labor as

To the credit of the members of

there was little or no opposition to
this bill, but its enactment needed the
stimulus of publicity, which The Gem

Council and the forces of organized
labor generally furnished. Copies of

both houses, which greatly facilitated

body and so elusive are the causes OF
apparent effects. Notwithstanding
these facts, there are in every com
munity numerous persons, without
training and without knowledge OF
medical science, who proceed without
hesitation to diagnose not only their
own, but the ailments of others, and
prescribe a remedy. Many persons
take medicine and gamble on the re-
suits. The evil of this ignorant and
indiscriminate attempt of every man
to be his own doctor, is intensified by
the delay in receiving treatment at
the hands of competent physician.
The quack patent medicine manufac-
turers prey upon this class. Many of
their nostrums contain habit-forming
drugs, and most all their liquid pre-
parations contain at least 10 per cent,
and often as high as 40 per cent of
alcohol. Their temporary stimulation
is lure that leads to chronic invali-

Kansas City, Mo. Twenty trained in

and playground supervisors. Their
duty will be to prevent disease by
cleanliness and making strong
bodies. The cure of disease will be
directed by medical inspectors em-
ployed by the local board of health.
Each grade teacher will conduct daily
classes in hygiene, a 61-page course of
study having been prepared for that
purpose. State Health Commissioner
John w. Duke is receiving numerous
requests for medical inspection of
pupils in various schools throughout
Oklahoma. Competent specialists in
the various communities, interested in
public welfare, will be asked to do
this work without charge.
