OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE o. THOMAS

noIncement in a Baltimore medical
journal, by DIR. H. M. and Pau.
/ Wengeroth, that they had a proven
tative.
DIR. Wengeroth was on poultry
ranch in California, and in 1914 he
raised forty turkeys from some that
he bought in Ohio. The soil was
disease free then. and the next year
he lost one of his old ones and half
of the young ones died from black
head; then the following year QS1S)
he raised only one out OF eighty
Matched, sixty of them were large
enough to roost in the trees when
they succumped to the disease
A new ranch was established and
new stock was bought. No black
head was in the flock the first year,
but the next year 1873 died. The
third year finished the flock. with
the exception of fifty-two. and it
was the opinion Of the doctor that
they would have gone but for the
ipecac. He knew that ipecac was
good for the human form of enteritis
of amoebic origen, and began to
experiment with the drug. All the
sick fowls were separated from
the flock, and given ten drops Of
fluid extract of ipecac three times
a day for three days; ten drops twice
a day for the following three days,
and ten drops once a day for the
next three days.
Thirty-two of those fifty-two were
attacked with the disease, but TWEEN
ty-nine fully recovered. The doctor
then began to conduct further ex-
periments in an effort to prove that
any turkey raiser could use the medi-
cine to save their flocks. He fed
some turkeys the Invest of the in
fected turkeys that had died, and
then divided the flock so as to try
three methods. Some were given
the fluid ipecac and none died, some
were given the powdered ipecac,
three teaspOonfuls of the powdered
ipecae to a. quart of moist mash for
each of three successive days and no
bird was lost. The other six were
not treated and four of them died.
Three years ago 106 were put on
infected ground. AS a general pre-
ventiSe treatment applicable to tur
key growers everywhere, one tea
spoonful of powdered ipecac was
given in a moist mash fed tWice-a
week to each unit of twenty turkeys,
no QlIIef6nCe was mace as I'D -tnS
age of the turkeys. No blackhead
appeared in the flock, although it
ranged with old birds on infected
ground.
DO YOU notice that sometimes
your turkeys show a slight lameness
before they pegin to have what you
think is cholera? That is the first
symptoms of blackhead. Then they
drink quantities of water and get
weaker, and diorrhea begins and fin
ishes them. 1t is getting about the
season for you to lose yours, so
please cut this out and try it.
Remember that you must be on
the alert and when the first sign
comes you must begin the treatment.
[ read strong Endorsement Of this
treatment written for the Country
Gentleman, by the county agent of
Douglas county, Oregon, where they
raise 100000 worth each year. Like
cholera. tfere is no positive cure for
the disease after it has taken hold
but this is = preventive, and a very
effective remedy. -

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

gods and that there is no other hap
pness on earth so complete as that
of an ideal marriage But these
things happen about once in blue
moon.
There are as few people capable
of the grand passion as there are of
singing in grand opera; and we have
only to look about us to see how
often marriage is a failure.
SO the woman who realizes that
she is not likely to get a wedding
ring need not feel that she has drawn
a blank in the lottery of existence.
If she cannot thank God that she has
gotten a good hua band, she can, at
least, be grateful that she has missed
the greatest sorrow on earth, ana
that is havin.; a bad one. And, Tor
the rest. the world IS before her, with
all its limltless opportunities and in
tereStS and amuSementS. and Sne Is
free to cl Dose among them.
In the old days, when woman
had to have a husband in order TO
have any place in society, any career
and any meal ticket, marriage was a
necessity. But it is far from beng
that in these days when there is a
ladies' entrance to every occupation
and diversion.
Women marry for many other rea-
sons tran because they have an over
whelming affection for some partjc-
ular man. They marry because they
are bored. They get tired of going to
teas and bridge whists and luncheons
and dinners, and they want to be
about the business of life.
I he woman who does not marry
can find a never ending interest in
some business or profession. She
can take up some work that will FIJI
every waking moment with thrill
and excitement, and that will absorb
every energy of body and brain. No
old maid need be a languid, lack
adaisical creature who is driven to
meddling in other peoples affairs
because she has none of her own.
Women marry because they want
children. Creative work offers
good substitute for those who are
denied any but brain children, and
if these do not suffice, the orphan
asylums are filled with flesh and
blood children who are crying for
the arms and the breast of a mother.
Women marry because they want
homes of their own. No woman in
these times has to stay tied to moth
er's apron strings so org is mother
lives. Ally girl who can afford the
price can set up her bachelor estab-
lishment and live heF own life in her
own way Without criticism so long
as she keeps up a bowling acquaint-
ance with Mrs. Grundy.
Women marry for a living. Any
girl of good sense and good health
can go out and MAKE quite as good
a living for herself as the average
husband would make for her, and
have far less work and worry than
falls to the lot of the wife and
mother. There are mighty few
wives who dress as wen and have
as much money to spend on them
selves as business women do.
Taking all Of these things into con-
si6eraticn, the women who do not at
tract men will do we'll not only to
cease chasing husbands, but to quit
pitvlng themselves. If they have
missed the best thing in life, they
have a mighty good consolation
prize. -

Several times lately there has
been something about the use ii
ipecac for black head, a disease that
has caused more loss than anything

unanimous that there was no rem.

the soil became infected the only
thing for the people to do was to
move their turkeys. but now it has
been pretty we'll proved that pow
