Some authorities assert that when
eggs are Matched in an incubator
they should be turned three or more
times a day from the third to the
eighteenth day. Be sure the hands
are clean and free from oil or grease
when the eggs are turned. II
Matched under a hen, this handling
is unnecessary as the hen will take
care of the necessary moving. How
ever, all Matching eggs should be
candled on the seventh day and all
infertile eggs removed.

Thanks to Pigeon Post

LONDON.-''Fed-up' with not
getting his dinner on time when he
arrived home from work, William
Ramsay, a Tilbury, Essex. bus con-

Now every day he takes a pigeon

expects to reach the house.
Then he ties it to the pigeons leg
and releases the bird.
When it arrives, Mrs. Ramsay
knows exactly when to have dinner

In spite of the fact that it was
believed that squirrels were ex-
trenlely scarce before the begin
ming of the open season, the sound
of guns have reverberated from
early until late along the ridges
hese since Monday morning, and
while but few, if any, have killed
the bag limit, many have bagged
three to four every day so far. 1t

abundant that squirrels would be
fairly plentiful. And there was
practically no preseason hunting
here.

For tunately, through timely and ade quate treatment of the woman during her pregnancy, the child can be given a 90 percent chance of being born health and free of the disease. Recent statistical re- ports reveal that if a syphilitic woman is treated by a qualified physician before the fifth month of her pregnancy, she will pro- bably give birth to normal and
 noninfected child. Every preg- nant woman should insist on blood tests as part of the gen. eral examination and prenatal care given her by her phys clan.
 There is a record of one fam fly of six children in which ev- cry child was afflicted with what was supposed to be tuberculosis. Upon investigation however it was found that the mother had syphilis and that she had been infected by her husband. The children were suffering from this

Territorial Department of Health Campaign Against Venereal
 Disease

Syphilis is a disease which does not respect any age, sex, race or social class. It has inflict- ed misery and death for hun dreds of years; in past centuries, because no one-not even physic- ianS-knew the nature of the dis ease or how to cure it; and in this present age, because the knowledge which science has at tained for its prevention and treatment is not generally ap- piled.
 The fight against syphilis is hampered because the nature of the disease has prevented open warfare against it. It can be stamped out only if the facts about it are known and used to prevent it's spread and to secure prompt treatment for it's vic- tirns. Every man and woman and every adolescent boy and girl should be acquainted with the seriousness of the syphilis men, ance, the manner in which this disease is spread, what is symp. toms are and how it may be cured.
 The Prevalence of Syphilis
 On good evidence it is believ- ed that syphilis strikes at about one in every 20 persons-or 5% of all the men. women and child ren in the United States. More are infected in some localities, less in others. While the prev alence of syphilis varies greatly with the race, age, location and customs of the individuals stud led, these figures mean that there are now in the United States about 6,300,000 individuals who have been attacked by syphilis. This number includes both old and new infections. Approximate ly 500,000 people a year seek treatment for syphilis for the first time. In addition an un- known number of infectious cas es go untreated. A large propor- tion of these untreated infected persons are an unrestrained men ace in the community because they are not taking precautions against spreading their infec- tions. Many are attempting self medication or are going to ad- Vertising quacks - measures

which are useless and even detri- mental to the patient and to all with whom he come in contact.
 What Causes Syphilis Syphilis is caused by a germ called trepinema pallida, which may enter the body at any point through the skin or mucous mem branes. The moist mucous mem branes of the lips, mouth, nose, throat and genital organs are par ticularly susceptible, and the or I.ganism can penetrate even though there is no perceptible break in these tissues.
 How Syphilis Is Spread
 Communicable disease germs are carried from the sick to the we'll in various ways. In typhoid fever the water, the milk, the housef1y or the healthy human carrier is usually responsible, In yellow fever it is mosquito; in bubonic plague it is rodent flea. In the case of venereal disease the germs are spread by people who are already infected. Most cases of syphilis are acquired during sexual intercourse. How ever, many cases come from con tact with other sources of infec- tion.
 Syphilis may be passed from one person to another by kiss ing. Occasionally it may be ac- quired by contact with an ob- ject recently soiled with dis charges which contain living syphilis germs. Common drink ing cups and towels, pipes, and articles which are used where sanitary precautions are not talk en are among the sources of in lection discovered in certain cas es. Fortunately, infection from such sources is comparatively rare because, while it is easily killed outside the body by dry ing in ordinary air, exposure to or soap and water, and by such sanitary measures as are practiced by careful and we'll individuals.
 Congenital Syphilis
 A pregnant syphilitic woman may infect her unborn child; in fact, she is almost sure to do so if she is not treated during preg nancy. A large proportion of the children of untreated syphilitic mothers are born dead, and many born alive die in early in fancy. Those who survive may
