This disease is fre-j \ quently found in damp, poorly ven- * tilated houses and is most often ' contracted by birds that are poorly J developed and of low vitality. Fowls j of this type frequently get roup and I ; are the means of spreading it ! through the flock. Obviously, pre- j vention should consist of eliminating [ the weaklings' from the flock and j providing a house that will be dry I and free from drafts, but well ven- H tilated. I An additional ,prevention against this disease is the following: Add as much potassium permanganate H as will remain on the surface of a I dime to each gallon of drinking wa- H ter and keep before the fowls. This H acts as an antiseptic and will help H to keep the birds in good condition. H An attempt to cure the individual of E roup is not advisable, for, although H in the majority of cases, there may H be an amjarent cure, the danger of iB reinfection is great, and frequently such birds cause the disease to spread throughout the flock. The safest policy is immediately to remove such birds from the flock and kill them as soon as they show the first symptoms, recognized by a watery discharge from the nostrils or eyes. GASOLINE IN ENGLAND IS REDUCED 6 CENTS GALLON I Washington, Nov. 11?"Over pro- H duction" in the United States is the|9 reason assigned by British oil com-iH panies for an unexpected reduction H of six cents a gallon in the price H of gasoline in Great Britain after a B sudden increase of 14 cents a gallon H in Auerust, according to advices from ggj the American Chamber of Commerce |H in London today to the Department H of Commerce. j? because of their desire and willing- B ness to encourage him to enter Hj broader fields of christian and fel- jffij lowship.
