the bacilli are carried and deposited
in all the yards which they visit.
The eggs of diseased birds fire.
quently contain the bacilli, as has been
proved by the ;inoculation of material
from such eggs into susceptible expe-
rimental animals. The young chicks
hatched from such infected eggs are
diseased when they leave the shell
and, of course. soon inject the poultry
with which they run. Moreover, since
the infertile incubated eggs are often
fed tochickens, it is evident that even
the eggs which do not match may in
troduce the coDtagion unless they are
cooked before feeding. Pigs, cats, rats,
and mice are especially liable to be
infected with fowl tuberculosis from
eating the carcasses of birds which
have died, to the extent that these
animals transmit the contagion to
other fowls. Even calves and colts are
sometimes found suffering from this
form of tuberculosis.
No Earthly External Evidences
For the most part there are no
external symptoms Of 7. B. in the
flock until the disease has reached an
advanced stage of development. Then
the birds begin to show gradual loss
of weight, wasting of muscles, pale
ness of the comb and, toward the end,
dullness and sleepiness. Very often
there is at the same time tubercu-
lous inflammation of the joints and of
the sheaths of tendons, which Is re-
vealed by lameness, swelling of the
FONTS and legs, and sometimes by the
formation Of hard, external tumors of
size. Occasionally the
skim over the swollen joints breaks,
the interior of the joint is liberated,
and small quantity of pus containing
large numbers Of tuDercle bacilli is
discharged. Swellings and bony en-
argements of the joints of fowl are
Invariably suspicious and, their nature
should always be investigated by kill
ng the bird and examining the liver,
spleen and intestines to determine
whether these have on their surfaces,
my whitish or yellowish spots which
When cut into prove to be tuberculous
masses.
As was previously mentioned, pre- !
he diseased flock is the only effective
control when T. B. goes on a rampage
among the fowl. If any birds slightly
affected are retained the chances are
hey will be subsequent carriers and
distributors of the disease. Hence, it
S rot advisable to keep any fowls |
hat have been exposed to the con-
agion, no matter how valuable they |
nay be. The birds that have died |
II are killed, as well as all the ac-
umu!!ated manure, sweepings, and
crapings Of the poultry houses,
bould be completely destroyed by
ire.
So far as known, there is no danger
f communicating the disease to man
y eating the cooked flesh of tubercu-
ous fowls. In most cases, however,
he diseased birds are so emaciated |
nd their general health so affected, |
hat their flesh is not fit for human |
consumption. 1t is better, in all cases, |
o burn the carcasses of the birds in |
which tuberculous noduies are found |

isease being communicated to either
nan or animals.

Dillon County Drives Out Scrubs,

Clemson College, May 29.-Dillon
County is following the lead made
last month by Greenwood County in
the matter of ridding the county of
scrub livestock. The intensive cam
paign was begun last week by County
Agent S. w. Epps and the Animal
Husbandry Division of the Extension
Service under the leadership of Mr..
V. w. Lewis. Two days, May %
and %, were spent in putting on the
drive, and six meetings, two each day
and one each night, were held with a
total of 288 farmers and livestock
men.
The plan of the campaign is to put
only pure bred hogs, cattle, and sheep
in the county in place of the scrub
and grade stock now found. So far
as cattle are concerned, fairly good
foundation to work upon has already
been built through the fact that in
the last two or three years Is or more
purebred bulls have been placed in the
county chiefly through efforts of the
Extension Service. A thriving Bull
Association exists in the county with
good number of community blocks.
;. AT the meeting held last week the
livestock specialists of the Extension
Service led discussions concerning the
value of purebred stock, illustrated
with lantern slides showing good live
stock by comparison with scrubs.
Time not spent in meetings was spent
in personal visits to leading farmers,
who will help push the campaign.
The fact that the movement for
purebred livestock should find sup
port in one of the foremost cotton and
tobacco counties Of the State is pretty
good evidence of the increasing inter-
est in good livestock which is develop
ing not only in the Pee Dee section
but all over the State. Last weeks
work in Dillon will be followed up
with return visits from time to time
and with continuous work by the
county agent and his committeeman
throughout the county and will be
effectively supported by the news
papers of the county and section.
Which county will be next to bid
goodbye to scrubs?

tuberculosis of fowls is a chronic,

the development of nodules called

body, but most frequently in the liver,
spleen, and intentines. II. B. of fowls
Is readily communicated to most spe-
cles OF birds and to several species of
mammals, but it is almost impossible
to communicate the tuberculosis of
man and cattle to fowls. Parrots, and
the smaller Gagged birds are very sus-

Tuberculosis is generally introduced

"Welcome the soldiers brides, says the American Legion Weekly in the following editorial in the current number of the magazine of the ma tional organization of American vet erans of the great war:
 More than 1s,000 young women of France, England, Ireland and Scotland have come to our shores as citizens, as the brides of men who were in the service. These girls Tn their own way are as brave as the men they married. Each left home to fare in a country whose manners and customs, ways of life and thought, are strange to them. In the case of the French girls they must learn new language.

 Several places in Putnam have been open for the sale of soda and other soft drinks. But nothing stronger than these is to be had. One dealer who had fairly large surplus of dis titled liquors when the war time pro hibition act went into effect July |, has stored these in back room, lock ed the only door with strong Yale lock. and turned the key over to the captain of police. ''It will avoid sus- picion." he commented. Lunch rooms are springing up where bar rooms previously were, and the cur rent opinion seems to be that the dealers are "done for" and that bar tenders are a thing of the past.

NO BEER-NOT
 EVEN NEAR BEER
Putnam Saloons Closed Tight On Monday.-Federal Au- thorities Announce They Are Ready to Prosecute.
Liquor Dealers Association Votes to Sell Nothing Above One-Half of
 One Per Cent. Strength

Putnam is as arid as the central part Of the desert of Sahara. No beer, not even near beer, was sold in any of the local saloons Monday, although on Saturday business was heavy in many of the places where the PTS per cent. variety of wet goods were being showed over the bar. The closing fol- lowed the statement issued Saturday night. and having wide circulation over Sunday, to the effect that the United States attorney was ready to prosecute any one selling any beer containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol. On Sunday the Connecticut Retail Liquor Dealers Association, with members in twenty eight cities and towns, decided no beer with an alcoholic content of more than one-half of one per cent would be sold during the life of the war time prohibition law.
 The United States District Attor- ney, John F. Crosby, stated on Mon day that the departments of justice and the federal courts have definitely placed themselves on record concern ing the illegality of future sales in this state, and further declared that the law regarding such cases was clearly defined. He pointed to the New Haven case where saloon keep CT received a jail sentence for selling beer. Commenting on this, he said :' Judge Chatfield, in imposing a jail sentence in the Winery case, did so with the deliberate intention of pro viding a precedent, thereby serving notice that hereafter jail sentences will be imposed on dealers selling bev- erages containing one-half of one per cent or more of alcohol" Presenta- tion of evidence of the sale of bever ages of more than one-half of one per cent is to be followed by arrest, the district attorney says.
 There were persistent rumors around Putnam on Sunday that fed eral agents had been looking over the local places where distilled liquors and real beer are in storage, pending the time, if ever, when these can

IT. PUTNAM NOT
 A DESCENDANT
American Ace Is Not Descend ant of Old Put, But of His
 Brother
Point Raised In Connection With Naming of American Legion Post
 Here In Putnam

Among the names suggested for the newly formed post of the American Legion here in Putnam Is that of Lieutenant David E. Putnam, famous American ace, who, it was generally thought was direct desc endant of General Israel Putnam. Because of this, it was popularly felt that no more appropriate name could be found, combining as it did the name of our city with a famous aviator who lost his life fighting the Germans
 But Lieut.. David Putnam is not a direct descendant of the famous old Revolutionary hero for whom this city is named Instead. he is a de- scendant of Israel Putnam's brother. This may make no difference to those who believe that the post should be named after Lieut.. Putnam, and who feel that since our town is named Put nam. and since Lieut.. Putnam extend ed the fame of that family in this present war it would be a fitting thing to honor him by calling Post 1S after him.

Adolphe Bayart, a soldier, whose home is in Lawrence, Mass, and Louis Vandersproul, Belgian living in Philadelphia, and returning from a visit in Lawrence, were put off of the State of Maine express when it arrived in Putnam, southbound, on Saturday morning. Police authorities had been notified from Webster that the couple were on board the train and had avoided paying their fares.
 Both were arraigned in Putnam city court Saturday before Judge Mahlon H. Geissler. Bayart was charged with disorderly conduct, and his travelling companion with evading payment of railroad fare.
 According to the story told in court the two men had been drinking before starting their trip and Bayart admitted he was in forgetful state of mind Both claimed that they pur- chased tickets, and after being locked up in Putnam Bayart's ticket, Law renee to Railway, N. J., with baggage checks belonging to the Belgian, were found in the latter's shoe. Wander sproul was not able to find the ticket he claimed to have bought. lnas- much as there were no witnesses against the men, and no evidence, they were allowed to go.
 Bayart was returning to an army hospital in Railway after spending a furlough in Massachusetts. He had seen fighting in France and had been wounded, according to the story he told while here.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

The fourth annual outing and field
day held by the Y. NJ. and Y. w. G. A.
at Rocky Mountain Lake on July 4th,
was very pleasant and enjoyable af-
fair. On account of the recent rains
and the threatening aspect of the
weather clear up to noon of that day,
the usual large crowds did not at
tend. All who were there greatly en-
joyed it, and the usual good order was
observed. Scoutmaster Brickler, as
sisted by Herbert Williams, had
charge of the sports. The refresh
ments were handled by committee
from each organization.
Croquet is all the rage now. An en-
joyable feature of the sport is the
large number of ladies', friends of the
members of the club, who take part
almost daily in the game. A court,
prepared and laid o. exactly as the
mems court, has been prepared for
the younger boys on the north side Of
the building.
Chairman L. III. Lightner left Mon
day evening for two months trip
through the South and the East. Sec
retary Leroy Perkins, who has been

ton and Camp Upton, returned this
week. He will give an interesting and
detailed account of his observations
and experiences in an address at the
