WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1920 ST . LICE INJURIOUS TO TURKEYS Common Body Louse of Chickens Is Often Found in Sufficient Nuta- bers to Be Harmful. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) . Four species of lice are commonly found on turkeys in this country. One of these, which occurs particularly on turkeys associated with chickens, is the common body louse of chickens. This specles is not found in great mumbers on turkeys, but it sometimes becomes sufficiently abundant to cause considerable firritation and doubtless 15 injukious both to the grown fowls and to the young. The shaft louse of chickens also has been found on tur- keys, but probably does not breed en that host. The other two species seem to be native to the turkey, prob- ably existing on this fowl in the wild state. The large turkey louse prob- ably is most abundant. It occurs on the feathers on varfous parts of the body, especially on the neck and breast. The slender turkey louse is a species of good size, though rather elongate, resembling In shape the head louse of chickens. Normally neither of these species is excessively abundant, but on crippled or unthrifty turkeys they may cause serious annoy- ance and undoubtedly they are injuri- ous to poults. INEXPENSIVE HOUSE IS GOOD Fowls Should Be Given Serviceable, Fairly Roomy and Well-Ven- tilated Structure. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agricu]ture.) Tt 18 not necessary to build expensive houses for poultry, but they should be serviceable, fairly roomy, well lighted. and well ventilated without drafts. The house should be built with a view to simplicity, economy, and conven- fence, and should be constructed ac- cording to the location and climatic conditions. The walls may consist of (1) one , thickness of boards, matched or un- matched ; (2) one thickness of boards, An Intexpensive Open-Front Hen House, matched or unmatched, covered with ope or two thicknesses of building paper or roofing; '(3) one thickness of boards covered with paper, then shin- gled or covered with lapped siding or matched lumber, making a solid double wall; (4) double boards with dead air space between; (5) double boards with space between filled with straw, hay. er other similar aterial. The second and third methods are the most - common. BIG EGG LOSS PREVENTABLE Gonsumer Compelied to Pay Higher Price for THat Portion Which Finally Reaches Him. ment of Agriculture.) TIn marketing poultry and eggs there is an enormous preventable loss in quality and value between the produc- er and the consumer. It has been conservatively estimated that this loss amounts annually to $75.,000,000 in poultry n;zd $45,000,000 in eggs. While this loss falls upon all who handle poultry and eggs il is borne chiefly by the producers and the consumers. The producers’ loss, caused by a decrease in price. under present conditions rep- resents that due to spoilage or poor quality. The consumers’ loss is due to a curtailed supply because of the pounds of poultry and dozens of eggs that are either of poor quality or a total loss; hence the consumer has to pay a higher price for that portion which finally reaches him. BLACK LETTERS, AND WHITE Scientific Reason Why the Former Are Better Adapted for Being Read at a Distance. There is a tendency on the part of railroads to adopt signs with white letters on a black backgreund, not realizing that the black letter on a white background is easier to read and can be seen at a greater distance. This follows in an interesting way from the structure of the retina of the eye. Black 4¢tters grow thinner at the limit of vision and are still recog- nizable, while at the same distance white letters grow thicker and can- not be distinguished. There are cir- cumstances, however, when it is nec- essary to use white letters, but in such cases legibility will be improved if they are made with a thin stroke and strongly lighted. Black letters are more distinct if made with a heavy stroke. JAPANESE EMIGRATION GROWS, Japanese emigration to Brazil has been steadily increasing for the last ten years, and this year the far Lastern empire is expected to send 9,000 persons to the South American republic. Have an Eye to the Future. It is common in a good many cities to find a street originally laid out to come to an abrupt end for a block, after which the street is continued. No doubt the founders never dreamed that more and wider streets would be necessary, and thought that in laying them out they were anticipating all possible road expansion for hundreds of years to come. Where such streets, by continuing them through the block, would create an outlet for additional traffic, thereby eliminating congestion and confusion, the property owners, as well as city and government officials, should take additional steps to rec- tify it. Keep Eye on Shade Trees. Don’t forget your snade trees. Re- lieve them of all dead wood and tan- fled growth. Never Forget the Shrubs. Shrubs beautify and protect the premises. A BEMIDJI INTERVIEW Mr. Gordhamer Tells His Experience. The following brief account of an interview with a Bemidji man five years ago, and its sequel, will be read with keen interest by every citizen: Oliver ‘Gordhamer, carpenter, 1200 Dewey ave., says: “Some years ago 1 was greatly annoyed with my kid- neys. I had a weak and lame back and it hurt me to stoop. I felt stiff and lame in the morning. I used two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I have not had any lame back since, nor have my kidneys been dis- ordered.” OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr. Gordhamer, said: “I have not had a sign of kidney trouble since Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me. I am now pleased to say tne cure has lasted. I confirm my former endorsement.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Gordhamer had.

PAUL MAN HAS GAINED 15 POUNDS Could Hardly Sleep or Work But Tanlac Soon Puts Him in Fine Health “I have actually gained fifteen pounds in weight while taking only four bottles of Tanlac,” said A. Jan- sen, an employee of the Pratt Trans- fer Company and residing at 1134 Beech St., St. Paul, Minn., recently. Continuing, he said: “For about a year I have been in a badly run-down condition, I had a poor appetite and when I did manage to force down a little something it would sour and I would bloat terribly and belch up undigested food. I was extremely nervous and could hardly get any sleep and would get up in the morning feeling worse than when I went to bed. I felt tired and worn- out all the time and just had to drag myself around at my work. I also was troubled with constipation the worst sort and had to be taking some sort of laxative all the time, and I ! would have such bad attacks of head- (Prepared by the United States Depart- i ache they wuold nearly drive me wild. “] had been reading so much about Tanlac in the newspapers I decided to try it, and it certainly has dowme me a lot of good. My appetite began to pick up almost with the first dose I took and I began to gain in weight before I had finished the first bottle. I am feeling great now and can eat anything I want without suffering any bad after effects. I sleep sound- ly at night and get up in the morning feeling ready for my days work. [ never have the headache any more and always feel full of life and en- ergy. Tanlac is sureiy a great medi- cine and I am glad to be able to say a good word for it.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French & Moon, in Baudette by J. Williams, and in Thorhult by P. M. Swanson. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEEk NORTHERN MINN. AGENCY, Dwight D.

Auto Livery There’s a lot of pipe-loads in every big generous tin of Velvet, and every is good tobacco at its best. pipe-load e The man, who loves a dog and a pipe, has two staunch friends that never fail him in good luck or in bad. They give all and ask nothing in return. Day by day they become nearer and dearer to him. The man who has not a dog and a pipe has missed two of the greatest things this good old world &can give. Every man who loves his pipe should know Velvet, the one tobacco that brings out all of a pipe’s best and sweetest qualities. Your pipe takes on an added friendliness from Velvet's choice Kentucky leaf aged in the wood to a mellowness that’s rich and smooth as cream. Your pipe takes on a mild sweetness that is Velvet's natural tobacco sweetness. . And around you hovers the real tobacco fra- . " grance that all good pipe smokers love. v Never did Velvet Joe say a — wiser, truer thing than this: “Folks say you can’t buy friend- ship. You can buy a dog and a pipe and good old Velvet—and I reckon no man ever had three bet- ter friends.” e T !
