are some Of the things that spread
the disease, says writer In Farm
Progress.
tuberculosis Is tuberculosis where
ever 1t is found. If there happens to
be consumptive patient in the fam
fly or near the premises, see that the
birds are kept away from any and
all the patients secretions. If the
common sense plan of burning the
sputum and all other discharges is
adopted, there will be little danger
from this source.
A chicken that acquires tuberculosis
is menace to the whole flock. Fowls
suffering from this disease scatter it
through their droppings, from open
breaks In the skin and from the secre-
tions Of the nose and mouth. The
germs of the disease are dropped in
the dust, they are scattered through
the yards, In the scratching places and
the dust holes and on the edges Of
feeding troughs and watering vessels.
OF course the best way Of getting
rid Of the disease is to kill off the
whole flock, burn the bodies, disinfect
the premises and start all over again.
But 1t Is not very practical where you
can Ill afford the loss of the whole
flock, to say nothing of having to start
once more at the very beginning. This
should not be done unless there is ev-
cry indication that 1t is really tuber-
culosis that is killing off the birds.
Sometimes the cholera is at fault when
tuberculosis gets all the blame, but
one Is about as bad as the other.
If the disease is known to exist in
the flock and 1t is decided to fight it.,
no halfway measures will be Of any
use. The fight will have to be persist
ent and radical measures must be used.
Every bird that shows signs Of the
trouble may as well be killed at once.
There will be enough Of them infected
without any early external Indications
to make the Staying Of the evidently
diseased ones a necessity.
Burn oil the carcasses. There is no
other way Of getting rid Of them.

Health Endangered
By High Heels
BY DR.. SAMUEL DIXON,
Commissioner Of Health Of Penn
syIvanla.

The present extremely high heels
worn by the majority Of American
women, both old and young, mean de-
formity Of the feet. X-ray pictures In
dicatfng the relation of the toes to the
ground when they are encased In these
high-heeled shoes, show that women
are walking on the ends Of their five
toes. There Is food for thought In the
fact that the horse nowadays walks
on foot consisting Of one toe, while
In the more primitive animal there
were three or five toes.
The shape of the natural foot Of man
has great variety Of uses and 1t is
one Of the things that has helped to
place him first in the life Of the earth.
The natural foot has been one Of the
anatomical facts that has helped him
to his present high state of efficiency.
The form of that foot mas enabled him
to become n good hunter good farm
er, good sailor, good soldier-ln
fact. anything he has found it neces-
sary through the ages to become, or
finds now essential for the war we are
fighting to continue our personal lib
erty.
Let the butterfly girls and the other
high-heeled old and young women stop
and realize the value Of the normal
foot of man. Let them cut off the high
heel and substitute the natural level.
This might also work out to the in
terest of direct economy by using the
surplus heel to make thicker soles on
the shoes.
Let US recognize the models of ma
ture which have led US to success. If
mans foot had been abused for an
indefinite time in a way to have re-
duced 1t to one-toed foot, resembling
the horses, he would have hard time
trying to fulfill his present duties in
life.
The high heel represents the fashion
for the women of today and means
great discounting of the value Of
mankind, particularly If 1t is continued
long time. The present high heel is
not only torturous but Of great injury
to the health. The mother must re-
member that she is partly responsible
for the feet Of her children and that
If she wants them to have normal,
strong feet she must keep them natu-
rally shod.

Brides and Orange Blossoms,

There Is an old Spanish legend that
soon after the importation of the
orange tree, by the Moors one of the
Spanish monarchs had specimen of
which he was very proud and of which
the French ambassador was extremely
anxious to obtain an off-shoot. The
gardeners daughter was aware of
this, and In order to provide herself
with the necessary dowry to enable
her to marry her lover, she secured n
slip which she sold to the ambassador
at high price. On the occasion OF
her wedding, In recognition of her
gratitude to the plant which had pro-
cured her happiness, she bound in her
hair wreath Of orange blossoms; and
thus, so runs the legend, lnaugurated
the fashion which has become uni
versal.

NEW BAGS PRETTY
Attractive Ones Can Be Made at

Velvet, Fur and Satin Are Popular
Materials as Throughout tho
World Of Dress.

Bags are more alluring than ever
this year.
The best Of them are expensive tri-
fes, but there are others that are at
tractive without being e1travagantly
high-priced, and as Is always the case
when drawstring bngs are In order,
many woman can make n cookbook

much money.
Velvet and fur and satin are the
popular materials here as throughout
the world of dress, with beautiful bro
cades and other fancy silks to help In
the good work.
For the omnipresent knitting bag Of
course nll sorts OF materials are used,
from rafila to gold brocade; but the
smaller handbag is less catholic and
less spectacular, though often exceed
ingly original.
The bead bag has lost none of Its
vogue and appears In delightful
shapes, colorings and designs, one tone
colorings being perhaps first choice
this season.
A handsome brocade silk with the
design outlined In beads makes an
effective bag and one that calls for no
great skill or labor on the part Of the
maker. Black or dark blue brocade.

any costume are easily worked out. A
rather long narrow drawstring shape
with bead tassels across the bottom to
match the beading Of the brocade is
good-lookinR for this type Of bag.
Beads are used to relieve fur, too,
and very clever things are done with
this combination. One model In seal

gold and has butterfly embroidered
In tiny gold beads on Its side.
A mum bag Of fur with turned

ship owners were coming into the
