CATARRHAL COLDS IN FOWLS
Simple Cold Prepares Way for Early
Stages Of Roup and Diphtherla-
Prevention ls Best.

By w. r. KIRK, Connecticut Expert
ment Station.)
One of the commonest and most fire.
quently occurring diseases of poultry is
simple catarrh or Just plain cold. This
disease appears In large number of
fiocks regularly every season. In and
of itself simple cold does not cause
much trouble, but inasmuch as 1t pre-
pares a way for the early stages of
roup and diphtheria it especially be-
hooves the poultrymen to combat colds
the moment that they appear. Affect
ed birds usually do some sneezing, do
not look quite as bright nor have as
good appetites, and what is perhaps
most characteristic, there is a thin
mucous secretion discharged from the
nostrils, or in other words, the birds
are running at the nose. If the case
is not taken in hand at once this Sc
erection likely will become cheesy or
gelatinous, the bird will have to breathe
entirely through its mouth and pres
emily there is q well-developed case Of
roup to deal with instead of a plain,
ordinary cold,
Weak birds that are improperly
nourished are more likely to contract
colds than stock that is well fed. As
In the case of most other diseases, pre-
vention is simpler than cure. One Of
the chief causes of this condition is
the overcrowding Of young, growing
chicks in poorly ventilated sleeping
quarters.
Much trouble can be avoided If fowls
are provided with dry, well-ventilated
coops, with the accent on ventilated"

Those who like raising ducks
should give the Runner ducks a trial.
They are easily raised, are persistent

are more profitable, considering the
large number of eggs they lay, and
the fine-grained, juicy meat.

The Sugar Situation

A number Of causes have cumulatet
to make our sugar position more diff
fcult than we could have anticipated
al the beginning of the year. The ia.
creased shipping needed by our grow
ing army in France has neeessitated
the curtailment of sugar transporta-
ton, particularly from the longer
voyage, and has thus reduced supplies
both to the Allies and ourselves from
remote markets. Some of the acces-
sible sugar producing areas have
proved less yield than was antici-
pated, such as certain West Indian
Islands. The domestic beet and
Louisiana crops have fallen below
anticipation. There has been some
destruction OF beet sugar factories in
the battle area Of France and Italy
We have lost considerable sugar by
submarines.
AS close an estimate as we can
make indicates a reasonable expecta-
ton from all sources of about 1900
600 tons of sugar for United States
consumption during the last half of
the present year This is based upon
the maintenance of the present mea-
gre Allied ration. An Improvement
in shipping conditions would of
course relieve this situation as uuan-
titles Of sugar are in unavailable mar
kets. We must, however, base the
distribution Of sugar during the next
six months, upon the above footing
After that period the new West Indian
crop will be available.
Reduce Consumption
This supply OF 100000 tons neees-
States considerable reduction in cur
consumption. To provide three pounds
OF sugar per month per person for
household use, to take care Of oRr
Army and Navy and to provide for
the necessary preservation of fruit,
milk, ETC., will require about | 500 900
tons OF sugar for thA six months. a
household consumption OF three
pounds per month per person, togeth-
er with the special allowance for
nome canning means reduction OF
some 70 per cent in these branches of
consumption from normal but It is
still nearly double the ration in the
Allied countries and is ample for ev-
cry economical use.
In the plan Of distribution which
will now 90 into force, the less es-
sential users Of sugar-that is, con
fectioners, soft drink manufacturers.
tobacco manufacturers, etc, will be
hit the hardest. The administration
regrets intensely any action that will
cause hardship to any individual, but
the situation is due to the Germans,
not to this government. There are a
number of substitutes available to the
confectioners upon which no restric-
tions are placed.
In order to secure justice in dis
trlbution and to make the restrictive
plans as effective as possible no man
ufacturer or wholesaler of sugar
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-06-27

will be allowed after July to sell
any sugar except to buyers who Sc
cure a certificate from the local Food
Administrators, indicating the guam
itity they may buy. For the purpose
| Of issuing these certificates the vari-
Gus users Of sugar are divided into
the following groups:
(A) Candy makers, soft drinks. soda
fountains, chewing gum, chocolate anu
cocoa manufacturers tobacco manu-
facturers, fiavoring extracts, invert
sugar, syrups, sweet pickles, wines,
etc.
| tB) Commercial Gamers, vegeta-
bles, fruit, milk, medicinal purposes,
explosives, glycerine, etc.
Co Hotels, restaurants, clubs. din
ing cars and steamships boarding
houses, hospitals. public institutions
and public eating places generally,
in which term are included all board
ing houses who take care of rs per-
sons or more.
(D) Bakers and cracker manufac-
.turers of all kinds.
(E) Retail stores and others SELL
ing for direct consumption.
Must File Statements
Every person in these categories
must, before July LIST, or as soon
thereafter as the local Food Admins
traitor determines, make a statement
upon form that will be provided
showing the sugar they hold or have
in transit on July LIST. All stocks in
excess of three months supply at the
rate of consumption that will be al
lowed in each concern, will be reoui-
lsitioned by the administrators and re-
distributed at once. Any stock less
than ninety days but in excess Of
thirty days must be held subject to
the local administrator for distribu-
! ton If necessary, depending much
upon remoteness from source OF sun
ply. 1t is manifestly unfair for any
one to be overstocked in such a stu
alton as this as 1t must prejudice the
common interest Of regular flow Of
supplies. Our national sugar supply
does not come from stocks but arrives
in monthly amounts and any attempt
ITO provide ahead results In shortage.
ANY attempts to accumulate stocks in
the interim between now and July list,
will be useless and may lead to diff
culties, for the Food Administration
Will oonstrue any such attempts BY
pdealers and manufacturers as hoard
ing and upon conviction as punish
able by fine or Imprisonment While
lin the law the same rule might be
applied to householders, the Food Adj
ministration proposes to rest upon the
honor and cooperation of the house
holders not to hold more than a thir-
ty day supply upon the basis of three
pounds per person in the household.
In addition to giving the quantities
on hand the statements which will be
required from dealers and msnufac-
turers in the above groups will give
the following further information up

Is pounds of sugar to any one house
hold for home canning upon the
householder's certifying that he has
not bought elsewhere and agreeing to
return any balance unused for this
purpose.
No Direct RatiOning
1t will be seen by this plan that
there is no direct rationing of the
householder. It would cost the gov
eminent $5,000,000 to put the house
holder on a ration card and would
take the service of 100000 people to
carry it out. We cannot afford the
labor or money and if householders
will cooperate 1t can be avoided.
No wholesaler or refiner can sell
any sugar whatsoever unless he re-
Iceives the certificate above mentioned.
Any person In the above five groups
who does not file his statement will
receive no sugar during the war and
action will at once be taken against
any sugar he may have on hand in ex-

be charged with boarding. We ask
the cooperation of all trades in our

Cleveland Judge Rules All Actions for

Cleveland, O., Dec. 10.-P ersonal
injury suits should be brought against

common pleas court here. W. G. Nc

recently held that he, instead Of in
dividual railroads, must be made de-
PENDANT in such suits.
Judge Vickery pointed out if the
railroads should again pass to private
ownership, judgments against Direc-
tor General AIcAdoo personally would
fail unless a fund was provided for
payment.
Under Judge Vickery's ruling, two
