Show Nature Raps Frequently. Nature seems determined to make us fight for a living, as well as to fight for our existence. Not only does she strike us down with some new kind of disease, but she sends new ailments to the creatures we use as food, in the same proportion pro-portion as we overcome the old ones. "Chicken flu'' the European fowl plague has invaded many states. Congress appropriated $100,000 to fight it. New York and other large cities blacklist chickens from the i states where the epidemic has broken out. In Chicago, in- ipectors examine dead fowl and diagnose their ailment as in-I in-I iectious bronchitis. A department of the national govern-I govern-I ment issues a statement that human health will not be en-; en-; dangcred by the disease. It is said that turkeys and ducks j are immune, that the plague attacks chickens only. Cautious housewives will make such their chickens are "well done" before be-fore serving. Heat is the greatest known destroyer of bac-' bac-' teria which spread disease. |
