HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER


tuberculosis and internal worms
bring about greater losses to the poul-
try industry than any other causes,
according to HI. ID. Munroe. extension
poultry specialist of the Ohio State
University. Unsanitary conditions are
largely responsible. These may be
improved by rotation in the chicken
runs. Soil about permanent houses
may be plowed and cultivated crops
raised. Portable colony houses may
be used for growing chickens.
The legs Of chickens suffering from
worms become paralyzed. Although
the fowls eat heartily they become
emaciated. No cure is known for the
worms prevention is the only remedy
Birds suffering with tuberculosis be-
come emaclated and are often lame in
the left leg. The most reliable
evidence Of tuberculosis may be OBJ
tanned from post-mortem examina.
ton. White spots varying in size from
pinhead to a pea may be found
throughout the liver and spleen. White
Jumps Of turbercles varying in size
from pea to that of hens egg may
be found on the intestines and body
walls. The lungs are rarely found to
be infected. The spleen Is frequently
the FIRST part affected.

looked down at them half sadly and
walked slowly over to the judges lit

Hadn't you better let me telephone
Bob?"
"How the devil did you ever find
them7" demanded the judge joyously.
" came to find them, Judge Dexter"
Kate told him seriously, sitting on the
edge Of HIS desk. Bob told me all
about 1t after we became engaged, and
how hopeless 1t was trying to make
you know they must be right under
your very nose around here some

The judge glanced warily out, but

the three bills back In her hand.

Charity has been praised and
written about since writing was In

these. II husbands were as crazy
about staying at home as charity Is,
many of our most successful divorce
lawyers would be hauling dirt for q

Another writer advises charitable
people not to let one hand know what
the other Is giving. This advice Is
greatly misunderstood. Some people
think that because the left hand can't

WARM FIGHT OVER BAY RUM
People Of st. Thomas Greatly Agitated
az to Whether II Il, Good ~
Beverage.

The little island of st. Thomas.
which the United States purchased
from the Danish government. Is chiefly
famous for the production of bay rum.
The bay leaves are raised on the ad-
jacent island of st. John and the
rum Is made In st. Thomas.
One of the first happenings which
came to st. Thomas. after its transfer
to the sovereignty Of the United
States, was prohibition. Along with
prohibition came greatly increased
sale of bay rum, and about the same
time 1t was widely rumored that a
number of persons had been made Ill
by using bay rum internally.
One manufacturer of bay rum was
made so indignant by this charge that
he had his product analysed by chem
LIST and published the results in u local
newspaper, proving conclusively that
bay rum is just as harmless when ap-
piled to the lining of the stomach as
when used on the scalp.
The editor Of the opposing paper
took issue with him, not on the ground
that bay rum was poisonous, but con-
tending that to drink this famous prod
uct was violation Of the most an
Gent traditions of the island. Bay rum
had been produced on the island for
200 years, it had never been drunk be-
fore, and even the most burning thirst
was no justification for wasting bay
rum by swallowing IT;
But this conservative seems to he
getting tie worst of the argument.
Most Of the st. Thomasians find 40
per cent bay rum satisfactory sub
stitute for FIVE per cent beer.
A Porto Rico paper observes bay
rum boo.ns where booze lies buried

At the Telephone.

"Life has few disturbing things for
me-" says constituti0nally tranquil
man, 'but there Is one thing that |
will admit does irritate me a little
and that is the speech sometimes
hear over the telephone from some
body who has called me and found
he had the wrong number.
"When the bell rings and / take up
the receiver hear that voice from
the other end saying:
els this number so-and-so?" and /
answer politely:
"'No, this is number thus-and-so,'
to hear him say then. quick and
gruff:
"'Ring off! Wrong number!'
"Really he has put me to an In
convenience; slighS to be sure, but an
inconvenience. and yet he treats me
as II i had put him out.
ut is very pleasant after that to
have somebody who had called us and
found 1t not the number wanted, say
Ing politely. 1T Is the wrong number.
I am sorry to have disturbed you,
but still l can't help feeling irritated
a little by the man who says grufiy,
Ring Off! Wrong number' as II
were the offending party"

Turpen,lne From Trees.

Various conifers. the pinus pinaster
in France, the Scotch pine. the swamp
pine. the loblolly, the long-leaved pine,
southern yellow pine, Georgia pine,
are sources Of oil Of turpentine and
resin. OIL Of turpentine has some
vogue as counter-irritant In various
llnIments, and externally and locally
In abdominal distenslon in typhoid fe-
YER and after abdominal operations.
Resin enters into the composition Of
resin cerate and Is the basis for some
plasters. A derivative of turpentine is
terpin hydrate, drug Of great popu-
Iarity and considerable value in coughs

Hope to Save Millions
in Fires by Breaking the
Matches While in Flame

When match breaking becomes o
national habit $5O,O0O.OOO year win
be saved.
BY breaking matches-that Is, OF
course, matches one uses In lighting
cigar, cigarette, pipe or gas stove
many fires that annually cause loss
Of approximately $35, 100000 will be
eliminated, according to/a statement
by fire prevention authorities. And
to spread the gospel of breaking
matches and preventing fires, nation.
wide picture campaign Of education is
to be started.
''Under existing conditions Ameri-
cas- fire losses are increasing year by
year." said Harvey Levey, educational
director of film company that is to
produce the pictures. "There is only
one way 1t can be outdone-that Is by
education. The fire departments are
doing the. best they can. Until the
people are educated to back them up
America will continue to pay-not
only In money but In lives, and that
must be placed first"
The campaign will be put on in CO.
operation with efforts Of the bureau
of forestry of the department of ag-
riculture. Films showing every phase
Of destruction by fire and Of methods
to defeat heavy fire losses will be ex-
hibited in theaters in every commu-
nifty In the country. Levey said.
The first essential, Levey said, is the
breaking Of lighted matches before
they are thrown away. Much less
chance will be afforded for a match to
ignite adjacent combustible materials.

Judge, just climbing down from his
husky little roadster, heard her, and
bristled instantly.
Kate stood unflinchingly until he had
finished telling her his general and
conclusive opinion of women workers,
and when he had finished she smiled
ut him. 1t was no propitiatory smile no
wheedling smile. 1t was comradely
and sympathetic.
You'd better try me, Judge" she
said calmly. "Help is scarce every
where, and It isn't very desirable
place, you know. Mr.. Layton says
you're pretty hard to suit. It's long
way back to town, and came out last
night. I've taken room up at Mrs.
Ryan's for week, and IL you don't
mind I'll just 60 in and try It any
way"
Before the Judge had recovered his
presence of mind she was already in
the Office and had her hat OF. He
watched her warily. Rollins, the as
sistant bookkeeper, received her
friendly greeting with a grunt, taking
his cue from the "boss."
Old Man Adams, the purchasing
~gent, gave her one long, appraising
look over his glasses, smiled and went
on opening mail. Sam Doty, the judges
own special messenger and long-suffer-.
ing Office slave, looked scared when
she took the judges old alpaca coat of
its accustomed hook and hung her own
cloak there.
Yet she stayed. Day after day
passed, and while the judge was
grouchy and ungracious to her, she
kept her place and made good. Gradu-
ally she lifted burdens from his shoul-
ders, looking after the filing, the per-
sonal mail, the telephone orders, classi-
flying, smoothing, organizing, until even
Adams would cough and beam approval
on her. Pretty likely young woman"
he ventured one day, and the Judge
grinned back approximately.

Use Two Hooks Instead of
One IN Hanging Pictures


Never fasten picture wire to pic
ture so that, beginning at either side
Of the picture in the back, 1t comes
up to the hook on the holding in such
a way that a triangle Is formed. While
not exactly part of picture framing,
the fastening Of the wire or cord Is
most essential. for even the most beau
tifully framed picture should be SO
hung that the actual mechanism Of
hanging Is as inconspicuous as pos
sible. Therefore use tive wires, fast
ening them so that they are parallel
with the sides Of the frame, and use
two hooks at the molding instead Of
one. II you can use cord or wire
which blends In with the wall itself
so much the better.

False interpretations of
3. Providence and Wonders

We are guilty Of false interpreta-
lions Of providence and wonders when
we either make those to be miracles
that are none. or when we put false
sense upon those that are real; when
we make general events to have a
private aspect, or particular accidents
to have some universal sIgnffcation.
Though both these may seem at first to
have the strictest appearance Of re-
ligion, yet they are the greatest usur-
pations Of the secrets of the Almighty
and objectionable presumptIons on his
high prerogatives Of punishment and
reward.-Thomas Sprat.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Real courtesy is not a mere,
outside polish, a mask assumed
for a purpose. but Is a product,
a manifestation of the true feel

The great thing is not to be
discouraged by seeming reverse
or relapse. The victory Is to en-
durance. and there would be no

Fear to spend what we have.

BLESSINGS OF THE NATION
Summed Up, They Are Simply the Az
oregate Blessings Of the Indi-
vidual Citizen.

with the coming of Thanksgiving
week, the week that includes the day
set apart by the proclamation of the
President of the United States for
expression by the people Of their de-
vout thankfulness to the Almighty
for the blessings of the year, comes a
spirit Of meditation. It is not neces-
sary to turn to the world at large for
a text for the blessings of the year,
other than as this general situation Is
reflected in the measure of Americas
content. The blessings of nation are
the aggregate blessings of the indi-
viduals OF the nation. The pursuit Of
happiness is never successful as an
individual pursuit however, and thus
the blessings of the Individual are
largely those that are the blessings Of
the nation likewise. So the weave Of
the threads Of the many individuals
contribute to the general welfare and
the loom uneeasing works. And into
the fabric Is spun the golden threads
of idealism, the purple threads Of mo-
bllity, the white threads Of purity, the
blue threads Of truth. the crimson
threads of devotion and the golden
threads 1t religion.

More causes for Thanl<fulness

To as It certainly seems as though
the Pilgrims had little to be thankful
for. II the settlers In Plymouth could

do In this year Of our Lord9 Think Of
the blessings which we enjoy as the
commonplace Of the day. OF which
the Pilgrims never even dreamedl A
vast territory mastered. surveyed and
thickly settled--abundant treasures of
farm, mine, forest and mill poured out
for human uses-innumerable inven-
lions harnessed to the service Of hu-
man efficiency and comfort--a great
republic conceived in liberty and ded-
icated to the proposition that all men
are created equal"-free political, edu-
cational and religious institutions,
hitherto unknown and unparalleled,
successfully established-a higher
grade of material well being, a wider
diffusion Of culture, nobler ideal OF
happiness, q finer conception Of de-
mocracy, achieved for all the people,
than the world has ever seen before!
It lis true, Of course, that not all Ills
have been suppressed. nor oil blessings
won. But because we have not yet
achieved everything Is no reason why
we should not be glad that we have
achieved muchl Because we have pot
vet won the goal Of life is no reason
why we should not rejoice that we
have advanced! The world today Is
better than it ever has been before.
Men have less suffering, greater happi-
ness and nobler opportunity than In
any epoch past. Humanity is still
fighting the same persistent Ills ana
seeking the same Elusive goods, out
in new fields and or higher levels.
The goal still lies far ahead, but De-
hind is a long road Of miserles COD
