Most Common Causes Of Disease In Poultry Diphtheria Is generally caused by roosting or sleeping in a draft, or be ing confined in a damp place. The causes of ulcerated throat and canker are the same. Diarrhea in chl m s often caused by sour food, baii damp quar ters, filthy coops, exposure to cold or wet or too much green food. In fowls, too, It is caused by too much green food, lack of sharp grit and errors iu feeding. Indigestion Is caused principally by lack of sharp grit, overfeeding, un wholesome diet. Injudicious use of grain or debilitated system. Roup Is the result of neglect or want of attention to miner diseases of the air passages, produced by colds. Filth is a great breeder of disease. It is not only necessary that the prem ises be kept clean, but they must also every now and then be disinfected. Pool air, especially at night when the fowls are on the roost, will do more mischief than anything else. All roosts should be on a level when plac ed on an incline. The fowls fight to gain the topmost perch, and those suc cessful must the entire night breathe the contaminated air that Is apt to rise up to the ceiling. Paint skins, half unslaked lime, etc., are often carelessly thrown about, the fowls eat it and sudden deaths from a "mysterious disease" are re ported. Laying hens are often confined to a fattening diet, which has Its result In a general breakdown, indigestion and liver troubles. Formulas For Removal of Ink Spots and Iron Rust Grease spots may be removed by the application of carbon tetrachloride, ac cording to H. F. Zoller, assistant in chemistry in the Kansas State Agri cultural college. Removing grease spots with gasoline or benzine is both dangerous and wasteful. Chloroform is effective, but is dangerous. Carbon tetrachloride Is used by cleaners because of v its safety, cleaning power and the absence of a disagreeable odor. The disadvantage is its expense. Ink is difficult to remove if it has been in the garment for some time. Iron inks may be removed by oxalic, acetic, citric or dilute hydrochloric acid. In case of the coal tar inks the spot must be bleached. Iron rust can be removed by fairly strong oxalic acid solution if allowed to stand on the goods for a short time, and often when it is exposed to the sunlight the action is a little quicker. The excess of oxalic acid must be washed out and the goods washed with a good soap in order to neutralize the odd. Hydrochloric acid is the best re mover of iron rust, if handled by an experienced person. An excellent formula for the removal of fountain pen ink, especially iron ink and Iron rust, is the aceto-oxalic aciil formula. It is made by saturating a 10 per cent acetic acid solution with ox alic acid and mixing one part of the product with four parts of alc<*hol. t Q O Light as Chaff O O The Usages of Royalty. A patriotic Scotchman was present at a meeting of a certain society, at which an eminent Shakespearean scholar dwelt on the virtues of the bard. At the close of the meeting the Scot approached UgJU the lecturer « and the following: dla speare, doctor?" ' 136 W£lB malrCleV " ei " than no comparison." "Maybe no, but ye telt us tonicht it was Shakespeare who wrote 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a croon.' Now, Rabbie would ne'er ha© written sic nonsense as that." "Nonsense, sir?" "Aye. just nonsense. Rabbie would hae kent that a king or a queen, either, dinna gang to bed wi' a croon on bis head. He wad hang it o'er the back o' a chair."—Country Gentleman. Wher. Murphy Weakened. Murphy was in the hospital and had undergone an operation. As he was re covering he remarked to the patient on his right, "I am thankful that's over.' "Oh," said the patient, "at my , ruaq^H operation the doc- \ TT\ r TO tor left the scis- if sors inside, and I had to undergo the same again." " The patient on the left remark- ( ed that at his op- 'MI eration a sponge ; jV. I J ; '/! j| ji, i had been left, arui \jS\i . It all had to be < gone over again, "h Just as they had finished talking the doctor ap peared at the door and asked, "Has any one seen my hat?" It was then that Murphy fainted. A Trade Secret.

FALLACY is an appar ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument. of the many ridiculous charges made by the Prohibitionists is that the saloon is the main cause of poverty.

Reasoning from this false premise they say that if it if were not for the saloon there would bo no liquor business, and N therefore no place where the working man could squander his hard- i ftv.

The saloon is the ® ? ~ result, not the cause, of the demand for liquor. There are two i.P 1 ' Zl rj responsible for the saloon —the man in fcront of the bar and the man " ~ 2 behind it.

The Federal Bureau | -t" /fV. "„;~™ =crrr 'r Z~'7T7t- of Labor Statistics chows that working men spend on an average less than four cents a day for liquors. The "drys" ask you to believe that four cents a day is the difference between poverty and riches. If they are right. Rockefeller could make all of us rich by giving us back the wealth he does not need and cannot use. fir i THE main causes of poverty are poor wages and lack of employ- ; FEDERAL I ment. The average amount paid to unskilled workers in the ffik, RIfRFAU United States is less than $5OO a year. Instead of spending around $l5 a year for liquor these men could save up for 30 years and buy a rtf/ 3 ! AROR Ford. They could then, if they were careful with the gasoline, run it for a month on what they could save by not indulging in liquor 111 STATISTICS^ for a year! ||||s| | IT IS a FALLACY to say that indulgence in alcoholic beverages makes for poverty, when FACTS, given by United States Labor Vjvjjjjj > Statistics, show that workingmen spend on i an average less than four i •/ cents a day for liquor!
