Milwaukee. Dec. 1o.-The distribu-
ton throughout the safe of the newly
organized guard has brought 20 the
adjutant generals department many
inquiries regarding the status of the
Wisconsin National Guard organiza-
tons now marching in Germany. These
troops were all called into the United
States service July-15 1917, and on the
following August were drafted into
federal service in pursuance of the act
Of congress dated June 3, 1916 (Na-
tional Defense acD. One provision OF
this act is to the effect that National
Guardsmen so drafted shall stand dis
charged from the militia. This state
is on record as having protested
against the act, especially on the
ground that the siX-year term of en-
listment required tended to defeat the
Ostensible purpose Of the law, i. e., to
increase the number of men vOluntar-
lily acquiring military training. After
mature consideration, therefore, and
the rights of the state and the indi-
vidual soldiers, the military authori
ties of Wisconsin have refused to rec
ognize that the congress Of the United
States is the proper authority to dis
charge state troops from state service,
these having been lawfully sworn to
such service. No Wisconsin National
Guardsman who has been called or
drafted into federal service has on
that account been discharged from
state service. 1t follows as a matter
Of course that the surviving members
of Wisconsin National Guard now in
federal service, if they are released
from the service before the expiration
of their enlistment term, will be re-
ceiyed and maintained by the state as
of their original status under the act
by virtue of which they were enlisted
and organized.

mas Shopping.

Milwaukee, Dec. 1O.-With the pub
lie generally cooperating IN cutting
down public gatherings, no formal or
der has been issued to close schools
and stores. Mondays report, how
ever, shows that the city's trolley SER
vice and the mail service are so hard
hit as to be operating under the great

the reduction Of Christmas shopping.
Because officials believe that there has
not been the proper cooperation by
the public in the campaign to prevent
the spread Of influenza and because
the number of new cases and deaths
reported indicate that some drastic
action should be taken, Milwaukee
faces a closing ban on its industrial
business as we'll as on all amuSements
and other establishments not cOnsld-
cred among the necessities Of life.
Whether the closing ban that will re-

will be put into effect depends entire
ly on the public. Should new cases

such extreme measures and not unless
it is imperative will such drastic ac-
ton be taken At conferences in the

organizations and city officials and
men representing commercial enter
priSes, the situation was discussed
from every possible angle with the re-
suit that additional cooperation is ex-
pected from those who might suffer
the most if the city was closed tight.
The entire problem still remains to be
solved, but officials believe that if the
orders issued by the health and police
departments in the present instance
and in the recent epidemic were obeyed
it may be the cause Of preventing the
drastic action contemplated.

Treatment of Diseased Birds.

The medical treatment of rOup may
be very successful if properly applied.
The sick birds should be removed from
the flock and put into warm, dry and
Well-ventilated' room which is free
from drafts. The affected mucous
membranes should then be treated by
applying antiseptic and healing mix
lures. The best method is to use a
a good spraying apparatus, but, lack
ing this, a small syringe, an oilcan, or
even medicine dropper can be made
to answer the purpose, or the BIRDS
head may be plunged into basin or
p0Wl of the mixture and held there
Il few seconds, but not long enough to
cause Suffocation.
The remedies most suitable for such
treatment are: Boric acid, l ounce !;
water, 1 quart. Or, permanganate Of
potash, 1 dram; water, 1 pint. Or.
boric acid, IL ounces; borate of soda
Common baking soda), II ounce; wa
ter, 1 quart. Or, peroxide of hydro
gen, 1 ounce; water, ounces.
Before applying these remedies 1t Is
we'll 70 wash the eyes and mouth with
warm water containing one teaspoon
full of common salt to quart, using
a pledget of absorbent cotton and rub
bling gently, while at the same time
pressing and massaging about the nos-
trils and under the eyes to loosen the
accumulated secretion. IF there is
much swelling under the eyes it must
be carefully opened with sharp
clean knife, all the secretion removed,
and the cavity washed with one of the
aforementioned solutions. A pledget
Of cotton moistened with the solution
may be left in the opening for an hour
or two, or it may be busted with iodo-
form powder. When the swelling I'M
der the eye is not very large or hard
it may often be reduced by massaging
it in such manner as to press the con-
tents toward the nostril.

the best tests of vitality and vigor.
Susceptibility to such changes shows
lack Of robustness of constitution
and a poor circulation of blood, and
birds that are seriously affected by
sudden changes of temperature should
not be retained for breeders Or have
a place in the flock which is expected
to produce winter eggs.
Causes of Weaknesses.
This is true if the fault is with the
birds themselves and not with the
poultry keeper. Wrong management
may put the best and most healthful
flock out of condition. Bad Ventila-
ton of poultry houses, improper feed
ing-either undertaking or Overfeed-
ing, and especially the too free use
of highly concentrated feed to force
growth or egg production-are COM
mon causes which make naturally
sound and healthy fowls unduly sus-
ceptible to ordinary weather changes.
Appropriate size and type and the
vitality that gives and expresses per-
feet health and condition are essen
tails in mating standard poultry for
practical results. Every poultry raiser
who desires a utility flock Of birds
of uniform appearance should not neg
lect to give any one of these essen
tails his careful consideration. They
are equally essential to the breeder
who desires to produce birds of high
exhibition quality, for with these es-
sentials as the foundation he can de-
velop show birds that will be desirable
also for their practical qualities.

Green cut bone can often be
purchased from the butcher.
This material when procured
fresh makes an excellent substi-
tute for beef scrap. 1t should be
purchased in small quantities, as
it cannot be kept fresh for any
length of time and when spoiled
may cause severe bowel trouble.
It is best fed in a trough not
oftener than every other day, al
lowing about one-half ounce per
bird. Should severe or continued
looseness of the bowels follow

should be discontinued Or the
Quantity reduced.
