0PING INTO TUbER-
CULOSlS PATIENTS
U. 8. Department Of Agriculture Makes
Statement That Chickens Are
Now Having Tuber-
cul0sls.

Very serious losses have been incur
red In the poultry industry Of the
United States through tuberculosis, in
most cases without the owners know
Ing what had caused the trouble. This
disease is chronic and infectious. char
acterized by tubercules or nodules, re-
sembling the tuberculosis Of other ami
mails and man. In many instances II
has been called spotted liver, liver
complaint, or rheumatism, and affected
birds are described as "going light"
tuberculosis exists in many species
Of birds, among them fowl, turkey,
pigeon, duck, goose, guinea fowl, pea
fowl, ostrich, parrot, canary, pheasant,
sparrow and swan. Among wild birds
1t is most destructive to those in ZOO
logical gardens. OF all domestcated
birds the fowl shows the highest NOR
tality.
The worst feature of the disease is
its insidious manner of attack. 1t Is
difficult to combat because there are
no visible symptoms until the malady
is far advanced, and in the meantime
the bird may be spreading the disease
among others of the flock Added to
this is the fact that medical treatment
Of tuberculosis in fowls is futile; hence
measures for combating 1t must be Of
preventive nature.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture finds the most thorough
method Of eradication is to slaughter
the entire flock when indications point
to an extensive outbreak. Fowls in
good flesh showing no LESSONS or
slight ones, may be used for food.
Those badly diseased, and all visceral
organs, should be destroyed.
Chicken houses, inclosed runs, and
all eating, drinking and other utensils
should be cleaned and disinfected
thoroughly with strong solution of
such germicides as carbolic acid, Gre
sol, bi-chloride of mercury, formalde-
hyde, or any recognized coal-tar prep
aration or dip.
Carbolic acid may be used In five
per cent solution, compound cresol in
three per cent. solution, bichloride Of
mercury in a solution of one part to
500 parts of water, and formaldehyde
in the proportion Of one part Of COM
mercial formalin to 10 parts of water.

Says Chorus Girls
Are Better Since War

According to r. II. Burnside, general
stage director Of the Hippodrome and
producer of Zip Top" the late war.
blamed for number of things, should
be credited with one good result--the
creation of a higher standard Of indus
try and efficiency among chorus girls.
Mr.. Burnside credits this thought to
Charles Mast, now In charge Of the stage
at the Globe. who has been a stage man
ager for Charles Dillingham; at least ten
seasons and has been constantly with
musical productions, employing large
numbers OF girls, and he should have as
thorough a knowledge of feminine psy-
chology as any mere man ever may hope
to acquire.
Before the war" says Mr.. Mast. "the
average chorus girl had no particular oc-
cupation for her off-stage time. So she
talked, and talk may make trouble, par
ticularly when It is among people who
must be thrown together intimately for
months at time. Then came the war,
and chorus girls became frantic knitters
and bandage makers between scenes.
turning out great quantities Of war ma
terial by utilizing their dead time.
"The war ended. but the habit of in
dustry stuck. and now we seldom see a
chorus girl sitting idle while waiting for
her scene. She is busy on some bit Of
needlework II the walt is short one, or
she is reading IL the wait is long. And
Willie she is busy she Is not apt to talk
and because OF the absence Of CONVERSE
ton she Is not so apt to get on the nerves
OF those about her.
THE result has been that every one
gets along better than before the war.
because industry has eliminated the time
formerly wasted in imagining things, and
by comparison stage managing has be-
come easier. So the Tip Top company
remains a large family, except In one
respect--it doesn't fight like one"
