BEING INCREASED
TO PROVIDE FOR TBBERCULAR
PATIENTS

General hospitals are opening
their doors to tuberculosis cases,
increasing facilities are being pro-
Vided for the care of tuberculoUs
children, and $500 new beds for
treatment of the disease have been
added to the nations public health
armament despite the depressi) IN.
These are the outstanding facts re-
vealed by a thTee-year survey of
tuberculosis sanatoria through out
the United States just completed by
the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton. The data have been compiled
in the form of. a sanatorium dfrec-
tory listing facts about $50 institu-
tions containing a total of 86,9l7
beds.
There are now available for tu-
berculosis patients in the United
States 81 federal institutions con-
tanning 11,431 beds; 357 state, coun-
ty and municipal institutions con-
tanning 56,940 beds; 73 private in
situations containing 4,344 beds;
165 semi-private institutions con-
tanning 14,2O2 beds. These figures do
not include provision made in day
camps or in summer preventOria.
DR.. Kendall Emerson. managing
director of the association. indicat-
ed the following aspects of the
study as being significant The re-
ports indicate a considerable in
crease in the provision made for
children in sanatOria throughout
the country. A number of institu-
lions which have not previously ad-

several institutions have added new

"A second sign of the times is
the increasing number of general
hospitals that are admitting tuber-
culOsis. In Idaho. as a substitute
for a state sanatOrium, provision
has been made by law to- care for
patients in properly

These three plants belong to the

from one part of the body to an
other by scratching. Poisoning is
more likely to occur when the skin
is covered with perspiratlon.
Exposed areas of skin should be
washed as soon as possible with
plenty Of hot water and soap. Make
a thick lather and wash five or six
times. Do not use a brush or other

FEATHER PICKING IN CHICKS
By III. D. Munroe

Toe picking, feather picking and
cannibalism in chicks are getting to
be common complaints among pouI-
try raisers. These bad habits are
undoubtedly due to the extreme ar
tificial methods used in raising
chicks. Most hen focks that pick
feathers learned this habit when
they were chicks. Many of us are
inclined to blame the feed when
chicks start picking. We forget that
when chicks were raised with hens
and were fed nothing but corn meal
we never heard of feather picking.
Certainly any method of feeding
chicks today has more variety end
balance than our old methods of
feeding chicks. We have seen fea-
Their picking in flocks fed nearly ev-
cry kind of a mixture.
The principal causes of picking in
chicks are-crowding, overwhelming,
the lack of green rOughage feed and
wire floors.
Crowding not only causes picking
but probably the most common con-
ditioR that develops Coccidiosis.
Crowded conditions cause most of
our troubles in rearing chicks. One
easy method of helping crowded
conditions is to separate the cock |
erels from the pullets as soon as
they can be distinguished. Crowded |
conditions in the brOoder house is
the reason many fiocks start fea-
Their picking and toe picking.
More late Matched chicks than us
ual are going to be raised this year.
During warm spring and early sum-
mer days many of these chicks are
going to be over-heated. Chicks that
are too hot. especially on summer
days, will start picking. During
warm weather the brooder temper
AZURE should not be over go the
first week and then lowered s. each
week until 70' is reached. In other
words, harden or tougher the late
Matched chicks rapidly. Too high
in the brooder house is
causing a lot of trouble. as,
Roughage feed and wire floors as
a cause Of picking go hand in hand.
During the last few years green
iced for chicks has been neglected.
One reason for this is the fact that
alfalfa has been used in most chick
nashes. The amount of alfalfa used
n mashes is not enough to satisfy
he roughage demands for the grow
ng chick. Green feed should be
uppIied to chicks until they go on
ange. II the roughage requirement
" the chick is satisfied there will {

He pulled out a thick roll of

Joe thought, and he signalled to

against him with her head on his
shoulder. You'll have to help me

he said to Tony.
AS they struggled with the girl,
Butt rose and came to their as

into a back room and laid her on

head. She stretched, elevated her
knees and turned over, revealing
a pair of shapely legs.

AS the day wore on, the busi-
ness of asking poor people tor
money palled on Joe and the call
of the old life sounded insistently
in his ears. It was easy to con-
vince himself he already had
done a good days work and late
in the afternoon he sought out
the place where the gang most
frequently assembled.
Vergile Butt, boss of the gang,
was holding a low-toned confer
ence with couple Of his lieuten-
ants, and he threw Joe a nod Of
welcome and a curt word. Butt,
an unpreposseSsing individual, had
small eyes set close to a flat noe,
and an eggshaped head rising be
tween muscular shoulders. He
liked to boast, unnecessarily, that
he was hardboiled. His former
girl, Gemma, had once wise.
cracked about the toughnesS Of
his face. That pleased him.
Gemma and all other girls were
out of his life now; he married
Pia Roselli. And their first baby
was a boy. ridiculiusly like Vergile,
and he became such a grateful
husband, such a doting father
that there was no crime he would
not commit to procure money for
his family.
Nevertheless, the Tilted Gemma
still met him on terms of great
familiarity, and frequently tossed
him genial insults, which he took
with grinning good nature
Though she had never been in
love with him, she liked to feel
that she was in his good graces-
highly commendable ambition
in their circle.
Gemma was looked upon now
as Joe's girl. He thought she was
a good scout. but something Of a
golddigger. She always wanted
money.
She was sitting at a table by
herself, when Joe came in and he
Joined her. She was a little lii
