Nothing has given so much salts
faction in getting rid of chicken lice as
sodium iuorid, used by poultry spe-
cialists In the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1t kills adults
and young lice. including the young
which emerge from eggs present at the
time of treatment.
Sodium fiuorid can be obtained IN
two forms known as commercial, and
as chemically pure. Both Of these
are in the dry state, the first being a
dry powder and the second in small
crystals, somewhat lumpy. While the
chemically pure material is effective
1t is not so easily applied by the dust
ing method as the more finely pow
dered commercial form, and further
more, it costs more. The commercial
grade should contain 90 to 9S per cent

This material is the sodium salt of
The chemical element known as fiuorin,
and hence is a compound very similar
to ordinary table salt, which is known
chemically as sodium Chord. In ask
ing for sodium fluoIid, therefore. it is
important that the name, "huorid," be
carefully stated to the druggist.
If the proper methods are followed
remarkable control is obtained. One
thorough application of sodium fiuorid
to all fowls will destroy completely
all the lice present. 1t is essential.

Is comparatively slow hence, if exam-
ined the next day after treating, or
even two or three days later, few
lice may be found, but the material
persists, and after four or five days all
lice disappear. 1t kills, too. all lice
emerging from eggs on the feathers
For best results small amounts of the
material should be placed on different
parts of the infested fowls.
Specialists have found what they
call the pinch method" to be entirely
effective against lice, and to have the
advantage of economy of time and ma
terial. The material is placed in an
open vessel ON Il table, the fowl is

Dana White to assist him in forming
the same. This constitution is to be
presented the first Sunday in July

boys, who are not members of any
Sunday school, to become members of
this class.

in this way the amount of material
ordinarily lost is recovered
The material may be applied with
shaker, but this method has disad-
vantages when compared with the
pinch method. The material is shaken
into the feathers with one hand While
the feathers are opened with the
other. A second person is needed to
hold and turn the fowl. In this
method the amount of sodium fiuorid

finely powdered material such as road

ing the dust. For young chickens,
young turkeys, and indeed all newly
hatched fowls the busting method is
recommended rather than dipping.
This applies also TO sick fowls.
The common objections to dipping
poultry to rid them Of lice have been
overcome by the specialists by using
the sodium fiuorid solution. III gen
eral the dipping method is applied to
the South and TO summer treatments
in the North. A rather warm, sunny
day is preferred so fowls will dry
quickly. Windy weather should be

BLOC HAS COME TO STAY,
LABOR LEADER ASSERTS
Typo Secretary Also Warns
Against Too Much Politics
in Unions.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, December 23.
Political action should never be-
come the dominant purpose of or
ganized labor, in the opinion of J. W.
Hays. secretary-treasurer of the In
ternational Typographical Union. ac-
cording to a statement issued at the
union headquarters here in answer to
numerous inquiries as. to the organi-
zation's plans in connection with the
progressive" movement.
Necessity has compelled labor to
undertake the achievement of some
defensive and some reform legisla-
tive measures" said Mr.. Hays. That
does not mean that the Typograph-
ical Union is becoming radical. On
the contrary. we regard ourselves as
conservatives with extremists on
both sides. What political course
will best serve to protect the inter
ests of labor is a matter in doubt at
this time.
"One thing, however, is certain
congressional blocs are going to con-
tinue doing business in American
politics. And labor is going to de-
velop strength in that way, if efforts
of labor leaders I know count for
anything. Objectionable as blocs
may be to some politicians. they are
a natural development. Geographic
alone no longer serves
to give voice to the aims of divers
classes and interests of the country"

Answer to Riddle.
The two districts most affected by
the mosquito plague seemed to be the
center part of New York city where
most of the boarding houses of the
higher class are situated. aud the
town of Montclair with its millionaire
estates perched proudly on the noun
tainsidr.
Health officials in both afflicted
areas racked their brains. In spite
of all the thought. the mosquitoes in
creased in numbers.
Then came the answer to the riddle.
\ Montclair resident was penSively
contemplating his coal bin when he
noticed d little flock of huge mos
quitoes issuing therefrom. He inves-
tigated further. The coal bin was
filed with coke. and the coke was
filled with mosquitoes.
Energetic inquiry revealed that
large quantities of the coke sold in
the suburbs and in New York city had
been stored for a large part of the
summer on the New Jersey meadows.
The New Jersey meadows are. in real
ity. salt marshes. and the whole world
knows what huge and hungry mos
quitoes these New Jersey marshes
breed. The female mosquitoes had
industriously laid billions of eggs
amid the coke piles. AS soon as the
coke reached the nice warm cellars
the mosquitoes burst forth and fell
upon each and every inhabitant with
in reach.
HouseholderS now are spraying
their coal bins full of coke with the
