The HERE SHALL STABLISHED 1882 HOW TO PREVENT SCARLET FEVER United States Public Health Service Gives Some Rules for Avoiding Diseases. The greatest increase in the number of cases of scarlet fever which always accompanies the opening of the schools in the fall has caused the United States Public Health Service to issue at this time a bulletin on this serious disease of childhood. While the way in which scarlet fever is spread and its prevention are well known to health officers and physicians, the general public usually neglects to take those precautions which would diminish and prevent this disease so fatal to your children. The contagion of scarlet fever is spread principally from the discharges of the nose and throat, and the acts responsible for the transmission of the disease from the sick to the well, are those which are common in our everyday life, particularly among children; namely, kissing the use of the common drinking cup and common twel placing in the mouth articles such as lead pencils, candy, apples and the like which have been previously placed in the mouth or infested with the nose and throat discharges of persons suffering from scarlet fever, or by being sprayed with such discharges in the act of being "Coughed at" or "sneezed at." We possess no specific remedies against scarlet fever. The disease once contracted must run its course. The chief efforts for its control, therefore, must be directed towards its prevention. The most important means for preventing scarlet fever consist first, in the early recognition of the cages as they are, and second, in a thorough isolation of those who are sick. The important thing to remember is that a child, sick with scarlet fever who is thoroughly isolated, does not transmit the disease. This isolation must be carried out for a minimum period of six weeks or longer if the mucous membranes of the nose and throat are not thoroughly healed by that time. Safe and thorough isolation in the home, however, is rather difficult to accomplish and is usually impossible in over-crowded city districts. Our chief reliance, therefore, for public control of scarlet fever lies first in the provision for adequate contagious-disease hospitals where all the measures for the isolation of scarlet fever can be properly carried out; second, in the prompt reporting by physicians of scarlet fever cases; 3d, in providing a sufficient numebr of inspectors and visiting nurses in health departments for the purpose of visiting the homes where scarlet feevr cases occur and seeing that proper sanitary precautions in regard to isolation are observed; and fourth, adequate systems of medical supervision at school children; the abolition of the common drinking cup, the common towel, the common slate and lead pencil in all our schools. While the habit of putting things in the mouth is instinctive in children, parents should teach their children that the only things that properly belong in the mouth are food and drink. The danger of such practices as of putting pencils, coing and the like in the mouth exchanging bites of candy and amines the EXHAUSTIVE STUDY OF EUGENICS MADE Scientist Tells of Deductions Made From List of 1,400 Who Answered Questions. Fourteen hundred persons have willingly laid bare their most intimate family traits in order to aid a little group of scientists who are seeking to improve the world's greatest group—human babies. This was announced by Dr. Charles Benedict Davenport, director of the eugenics record office, at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. For three years the work of gathering the "record of family traits" has been pursued with extraordinary patience and zeal. It has been watched with eager interest by scientists and a group of prominent laymen who have furnished financial stimul- us. Among the latter are Mrs. E The examination of thousands of nestly recorded characteristics instillizes my conviction that moral well as mental and physical characteristics are hereditary," said Dr. Greenport. Each of the 1,400 correspondents as furnished with a six-page pamphlet ted education, age at marriage, oprtions at successive ages, lesser causes, grave illnesses in youth at middle age, surgical operations undergone, is dead, whether those carried were blood relations, special gifts or peculiarities of mind body, character, favorite pursuits, te. The replies covered very wide ranges. They showed that the so-called "germ plasm" of the correspondents contained the elements of every possible strain, including chorea, paranoia, dementia precox, violent outbreaks of temper, violent erosion, extreme indolence, and a hundred other defects that, in the words of Dr. Davenport, will "entail suffering on ever increasing numbers of their descendants and add to our social problems." From this and other tests Dr. Dapenport draws the conclusion that marriages—"society's attempt of control over reproduction"—should be scientifically regulated by the state. He advocates state eugenic boards, and for those persons who, "despite a denial by the state, have a child, the penalty shall be sterilization of the male." Dr Davenport has compiled a set of figures tending to snow the lower reproductive rate of American stock. From 1193 bachelors of arts at Bryn Mawr College, since 1888, there has been produced to January, 1913, all told, 293 girls. "Twenty years after graduation, close to the reproductive limit, 328 graduates of Harvard in my class had reproduced 195 sons," said Dr. Davenport. "An earlier class of 278 persons 25 years after graduation had produced only 141 sons, or in other words, had only half-reproduced itself. And in these figures I make no account of infant death. Assuming that a class produces half as many as graduates and that the ratio continues for six generations, 1,000 farvard graduates of the 1880's will have 16 male descendants in the 200's. These 16 sons will be ruled SCHOOL MUST HELP LIFE'S SOCIAL SIDE Neighborhood Gatherings Are Recommended By West Virginia School Head. "The other day," said L. J. Hanifan, state supervisor of rural schools, "I read the following in a magazine: "A country boy was recently arrested as a tramp in Washington. D.C. He told the court that he had worked on a farm "since he was a kid," and that he had left it for good for city life. "Wouldn't you rather live among the beautiful things of the country?" asked the judge. "Not me," said the boy. "I'd rather be in jail." "He went to jail for 15 days. "The question naturally arises. Why did this boy so dislike the farm tita he would rather be in jail than live in the country? Was he a bad boy? He may have been, but probably he was not. Did he deliberately leave the farm to become a tramp? We could hardly come to such a conclusion. Fact is that, many of our best country boys, and girls, too, are leaving the country today as a place to unbearable. They go to the but once they are in the city, they do not find living in the city they had anticipated and rather go back to the country they become tramps, thieves, gamblers and institutes. Bad Social Conditions. "The trouble is certainly to be found partly in the bad social conditions in the country. There is nothing 'doing' in the country. There is no place to go. Nothing congenial as no place to go. Nothing to entertain themselves with. No congenial associates. The boy works all day. There is no place to go at evening time. At the end of the week there is seldom a church srvice to attend on Sunday. The whole year in one continuous monotony. Knowing what we do of human nature, especially of boy nature, from our own experiences, what may we reasonably expect of the boy under such circumstances? Is not the trouble to be found in the conditions that surround the boy rather than in the boy himself? "School people and other social workers have come to think so. There is now a wide-spread movement for better social conditions in the rural communities. First we preached, 'Back to the farm.' Then we salo, 'Keep the boys on the farms.' Now we say, 'Make the country a fit and pleasant place for the boy to live.' If we can do the latter, it is fair to believe that the boys and girls will want to live on the farms where they can have more abundant life than they can possibly have even under the most favorable conditions in the city. We believe thta we have at last gotten back to the fundamental problem of the rural life movement. Make farm life profitable and at the same time make it pleasant and the rural problem will be well on towards solution. How shall we do this? Agencies For Improvement. Agencies For Improvement. "In this state the College of Agriculture and other similar agencies are trying to help the rural dwellers make farm life profitable. The schools are trying to help both the youth and the grown-ups make country life pleasant. The immediate means of doing the latter is by holding social gatherings of a varied nature at the rural schoolhouse. We call them community meetings, or social center meetings. A handbook has been prepared by the state de- VICTORIES WON AT LATE ELECTION President of National Association Says They Have Accomplished Much Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, when she received the election returns, said triumphantly, "we have two, perhaps three victories for woman suffrage and no defeats. That is the fine thing about our cause, we neer are defeated. We have won Montana and Nevada, and possibly Nebraska, but we have not lost anything. In Missouri, Ohio, North and South Dakota amendments were voted upon but did not carry November 3rd. We could not lose these states because we did not have them before. We have never lost anything because no state which has ever given suffrage to its women have ever rescinded that action. The anti-suffragists are the ones who always lose. They started with everything. Every victory for us is a defeat for them, and they have nothing to face in the future except more defeats. They can never have a victory. In Ohio, Missouri, North and South Dakota, we have made great progress this year even though the amendment did not carry at the pools. The women of every state will go on with their work with increased energy because they will have back of them a larger number of workers inspired by this year's campaign. The Nebraska women carried on a wonderful campaign; I never saw better organization and more spirit and enthusiasm, but this had to receive at least 35 per cent of the total vote cast at the election, which was of course, much more difficult than a majority of the votes cast on the amendment would have been, since most others seem interested only in officers to be elected and not in abstract questions submitted to them. In North Dakota it was necessary to get a majority of votes cast at the election, not a majority on the amendment. This made North Dakota's case almost helpless, but all of their campaign work will have its effect next year when the regular constitutional amendment will probably come up. Then it will be necessary to get only a majority vote on the amendment and North Dakota will surely carry for suffrage. Mrs. Walter McNab Miller, president of the Missouri association, has already wired: "All amendments lost. Woman's suffrage lead. Enough strength shown to insure passage of bill in next legislature and victory in 1915." That is the kind of spirit we suffragists have. As Susan B. Anthony said in her last speech, "failure is impossible." partment of schools for the general guidance of teachers and others interested in carrying on this form of social organization. "Parents are called upon to help in this good work. The parents may or may not enjoy this sort of entertainment themselves. But if by helping in the work they shall help to keep their own children at home on the farms until they are old enough to go away from home and care for themselves, provided they all decide to go away from bite farm, they may have very much pleasure in the success and happiness of the children that are so dear to them. Shall we not back up the teacher in all her good efforts toward making the whole community better?" VOL. 33 NO. 39. MAY QUARANTINE STATE OF MARYLAND State and Federal Officials Admit That the Disease Is Spreading. The work of appraising the cattle on the farm of Joseph Hartle, near Reid, in Washington county, Md. which was quarantined Monday after five pronounced cases of the foot-and-mouth disease were discovered, was finished yesterday and the stock will be slaughtered and buried today if the workmen engaged in digging the hole complete their task in time. The disinfection of every farm in the county on which the scourge has made its appearance is in progress. Nearly fifty men are at work cleaning cattle pens and buildings on the various places, preparatory to the spraying which is under the supervision of Dr. T. H. McKown and Wm. H. Wade, inspectors of the Bureau of Animal Industry. Epidemic Growing Worse. The state and federal live stock authorities stationed there, admitted yesterday that the epidemic is rapidly becoming worse throughout Maryland. While no new positive cases developed in Washington county yesterday reports were received of several suspected cases. Quarantine of the counties of Caroline, Talbot and Queen Annes will be declared by Governor Goldsborough today at the request of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board as a means of checking the spread of the disease among the cattle and hogs of that section. The disease has been found on five farms in Caroline and Talbot, and further inspections are still being made by federal inspectors and Harry P. Skipper, president of the Live Stock Board. State Wide Quarantine. Dr. Hickman, the state veterinarian announced yesterday that within the next day or two he will ask for a quarantine on the entire state. Such a quarantine order will prevent the movement of a single head of live stock or a ton of hay, straw or feed from one county to another near Baltimore city. Both the State Live Stock Board and the State Health Department are drawing the quarantine lines tighter today. A letter was sent out yesterday to the several health officers throughout the counties ordering them to take most rigid steps to quarantine all persons who have come in contact in any way with the disease or who have been recently on any farm where the disease has been found... It is known that the state health authorities will take desperate steps to prevent the animal scourge from getting a foothold among humans. One of the quarantine orders is that all school children who reside on infected farms shall be detained away from school until the quarantine is lifted and that all schoolhouses in the infected districts must be immediately closed until the buildings are thoroughly disinfected. In addition farm hands and farmers who come into contact with sick animals will be required to remain on their respective farms, while all outbuildings and even the interior of the farm living quarters will have to be disinfected. Because both sides in a controversy were not explained to members, a St. Louis judge has restrained the trainmen from calling a strike there.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 28, 1914 The Wilson-Trotter incident shows conclusively to Negroes in every section of the United States that they have thousands of friends in the white race who are not afraid to speak up in their defense when the occasion demands. The Wells Fargo Express Company can't be credited with feeling hard times that is, if we are to do our judging by the fact that this corporation gave every employee in its service since July 1, 1914 a fine turkey for Thanksgiving. Go to church because: God has spared this land of ours the awful horrors of war.—Wheeling Intelligencer. Yes, go, and take with you crepe, and hang it inside and out of your churches in shame for the wholesale murdering, jimcrowing and disfranchising of innocent Negroes for the past fifty years. We certainly hope that President Wilson will see his way clear to make James H. Ross, editor of the Detroit Informer, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. This concession is arrived at because Ross has such an abiding faith in the President and impresses one as his chief defender against all Negroes who assemble to criticise him. The Pioneer Press is a great admirer of the Detroit Leader, edited by Mr. W. P. Kemp, but when that paper took an article, entitled "Rice Prejudice," which was written expressly for the Pioneer Press by Bruce Grit, and inserted it in the Leader, without giving us credit for the same, as was done in last week's issue, we feel inclined to enter a mild protest against said action. If you promise never to do awkward again, we will forgive you this time. Brother Kemp, because you are a real good fellow, and are always found on the right side of the firing line. Harry C Smith's premise relative to the attitude of Dr. Booker T. Washington toward segregation is the only correct one for any colored man who has race pride to arrive at. Half heartedness will not do, the only alternative for Negroes molested in their property rights is to fight legally to maintain everything due them as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Smith knows this only too well, and that is why he utterly scouts Dr. Washington's idea of Negroes passively opposing segregation by beautifying and improving their property in segregated sections of cities and towns. Most everywhere this has been done, prejudiced and envous whites have found some other nefarious way to further binder our progress, some even going so far as to harass colored owners and confiscate their property. As a case in point, we refer our readers to the pitiable condition of Gave nor New, the South Carolina Negro, who had amassed considerable property, and is now an exile from home, having to die for his life, and find refuge in another State. If this is putting a premium on drift, as Dr. Washington is oft times wont to proclaim m, well, we don't want any of it in ours! If a man's property rights are not secure, there is no need of him owning property, because the mob can do with him and it as they see fit in any time. That's why Hon Harry C. Smith says fight segregation of all kinds at every turn, and Negroes everywhere are in duty bound, if they would be true unto themselves, to follow his example. It might pertinently be added that Ir. Washington's voice chorusing with the rest of us who want only a man's chance would sound mighty good. BIG AREA BURNED BY FOREST FIRES But the Work of the West Virginia Fire Protective Association Has Been Great. Out of a total of considerably over 700,000 acres of land embraced within the protected territory of the Central West Virginia Fire Protective Association, only 1,226.4 acres have been burned over during the recent heavy forest fires which in many places have wrought such destruction. There is no possible estimate of the area burned outside of the protected zone but those who are in touch with such matters have no hesitation insaying that on every 700,000 acres the loss is very many more thousand acres than on the protected land. And the secret of success achieved by the officers and patrolmen of the government and the association is in fighting fires when they are so small that they do not amount to anything in prevention rather than cure. This is how if has been possible to prevent heavier loss and destruction in the protection zone. There is no question but that during the last few weeks West Virginia has passed through one of the most severe periods of fire danger and lose that the state has ever experienced. Weather conditions were such that a fire would kindle almost at once among the dry leaves if the least spark reached them, and once kindled high winds which prevailed for several days at a time made fire fighting tremendously difficult and in many cases, very dangerous. As has been previously stated there are over 700,000 acres embraced within in the zone of adequate fire protection. On this land the fire loss has been much less than upon an equal area of unprotected land. The association has had its most serious fires to combat and conquer within the last two or three weeks. The bulk of the fires were largely from unprotected land which burned over onto association land and gained much headway before the organized forces of the association under W. Hoyt Weber field manager could fight them. In connection with the activities of the Federal government, the state and the association, Mr. Weber the field manager has compiled some very interesting data showing the areas burned over, the minimum to which the fires have been held, causes of fires and instances and illustrations of promptness and organization which have saved many acres of land. On Sept. 30, the lookout at Glady saw a whisp of smoke curling up through the trees after lumber engine had passed along. He rushed down the mountain side, asked a man he met to notify the superintendent of the fire and hastened to the fire. The superintendent joined him in a few minutes and the two men put out the fire before it had covered half an acre. There were little fires along in October but none of them covered more than an acre or an acre and a half. On November 2 a fire on Days Mountain outside of the protected zone burned over 250 acres but the association officials helped to get it under control. On November 1 a fire swept over about 500 acres on Elk river with the association territory. It was caused by a camp fire. On November 5 fire swept over 500 acres in the Wilddeil section. The fire came from what is known as the Sinks country an area outside the protected zone. Of course when it had reached the boundaries of the protected land it had reached such large dimensions that it required a large force of men to put it out. Another fire on November 17 near Parsons and one on November 2 near Glady, burning over 75 and 150 acres respectively show how successful the association has been in preventing fires of any material extent. The organized fire fighters in all instances fought the outside fires when they threatened association land or when they could get at such fires. On November 11, W. Hoyt Weber the association field manager says he ob- served fire to the region of the east of the Greenbrier river each of which at that time spread over more than 500 acres, outside of protected territory. It is not alone timber which has been saved but fences and crops as well. In afire on Days Mountain, November 2, one farmer had his fences and fields saved by the prompt action of patrolmen and fire fighters in fighting the fire before it reached the farmer. On October 23 at Parsons the association fighters fought a fire which burned over 7 acres outside of association land. It happened that a man who owned one hundred acres of woodland adjoining the land on which the fire was burning had only recently joined the association. He paid one dollar for the one hundred acrep protection. By stopping the fire when the association did, that farmers fences and his corn crop were saved. That dollar was worth more to him than any dollar he had ever spent. Similar instances are happening every day. New members are being gained as fast as the great work being performed is recognized. Detecting fires' in their beginnings and fighting the fire when it is small is what has enabled the association to succeed so well so far. The large number of fires caused from camp fires has shown the necessity for a very stringent law dealing with that subject. An investigation of the causes of many of the big forest fires disclose the fact that such fires are due to the wanton carelessness on the part of campers. The willstature will be asked to pass some legislation which will seek to protect one of the state's resources from such carelessness. UNESS IS HAVING PART IN THE WAR Dr. Lasker Makes Comparison Between This and Ancient Campaign. BERLIN, Oct. 28. (By mail to New York.)—Even chess is having a part in this great war. Such an eminent master of pawns, rooks and castles as Dr. Emanuel Lasker, the champion of the world, compares the campaign now being fought on French territory with the ancient and honorable chess. For example he draws an analogy between the radical change in chess tactics instituted by Morphy and carried on by Steinitz and the present grand tactics of war. Today the advantage in both military and chess tactics is gained by slow preparation and systematic execution. Final victory is achieved by the gradual building up of small advantages, robbing the enemy of the ability to move and then forcing them into defeat. Lasker has made a study of the campaign in France and this is what he says, in part: "At present, when on a line extending over 200 kilometers French and Germans are opposing each other well covered in trenches, a weakening effect on either position remains slight. The operations which bring about a decision rapidity of attack on a gap in the center, the dexterous encircling of a wing, the sudden massing of troops, or a bayonet attack—are impracticable in such a position as the present. "For the cavalry there is nothing, for the infantry little to do; the artillery alone has the word. Day in day out, the artillery throws its shots on the artillery of the enemy. The effect is slow, because the troops are well protected, almost invisible, and standing nowhere in massed formation. A turn of the flanks is an operation of great difficulty, as, with the length of the front, there is hardly room for the development of flanking body. "In short, in the present position of affairs, a general's problem is quite analogous to the task of a chess champion who has to take his opponent's strong position. And probably it will be the same mental auxiliaries that will serve to provide the solution. "The position is a very favorable one for the Germans, because its strategy, which may be distinctively seen, requires a great deal of time. The most objective of our army is Verdon. This will fall, unless the Crown Prince's and Bavarian's plans miscarry. "In the former event the French will have to fall back on the line Toul-Chalons, but Toul, vulnerable as it is on three sides, will be destroyed. Epinal and Nancy will then become untenable. This development appears unavoidable so long only as the French do not succeed in forcing back our main army." Bonds Can Be Issued But Their Payment Is Another Cause. While it is frequently easy for a county to issue bonds and borrow money to retire these bonds at maturity is often not so simple. Many counties, in borrowing money for bonds, figure that the amount of money raised represents the total cost of the road, forging that the road must be maintained and repaired, if at the end of the term of the bonds, the county is to have anything to show for its investment. The question of financing country road building is discussed fully in Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. 136, entitled "Highkay Roads," which is written by the office of public roads in collaboration with James W. Glover, professor of mathematics and insurance, university of Michigan. In this bulletin the authors discuss fully the various methods of financing road building and reiring debts for road construction, and also deal frankly with the actual total cost of a road during the life of the bonds. On the total cost of a road, the authors cite the following two examples as affording at least basis for estimating the total minimum cost of a mile of road: Bituminous-macadam: Cost of construction ($10,500) under 5 per cent serrial bond with interest for 6 years, $16,012.50; cost of annual repair and maintenance (600) for 20 years, $12,000.00; total cost for 20 years, $28,012.50. Brick. (Cost of construct. 300) under 5 per cent serial borer with interest for 20 years, $26,426.75. Cost of annual repair and maintenance (300) for 20 years, $6,000.90. total cost for 20 years, $32,428.73. The authors point out that the actual cost of building and maintaining a specific highway can be determined only after the character and volume of traffic and actual wear and tear have been studied for a series of years. The figures quoted above, of course, will not apply to ordinary macadam, gravel or clay roads, but in all these cases the interest on the bonds must be met, and there must be expenditures to maintain them in condition. The poorer the drainage and the less permanent the character of the road foundation, the greater must be the percentage that repair costs will bear to the first cost. Similarly, the question of whether the actual surfacing is designed to withstand the character of traffic and weather to which it is subjected also has an important bearing on what it will cost the country to keep the road in such shape that when the bonds are paid the locality still will have a valuable property to show as a result of its borrowing and repayment. CATTLE MEN WARNED AGAINST FAKE CURES Warnings to cattle men to beware of men posing as representatives of the federal government in its fight against foot-and-mouth disease have been sent out from the department of agriculture. Reports to the department say persons who claim to represent the government are appearing in infected states with so-called cures. Officials say there is no specific cure for the disease and that the only way to prevent its spread is to keep THE GREAT HUMAN SLAUGHTER MACHINE Story of Mr. Men Who Have Plunged Europe into Tears During the War. By KARL H. VON WIESEND. (United Press Staff Correspondent) With the last wing of the German Army, Paucourt, France, Oct. 19, (by courrier to Rotterdam). This is a story of the men who form one of the girl at humanaughter machines of Europe in years. It is a story of how the real human hearts of men whose other overload a new, to kill showed through their eyes as they sang of home and love ones. A story has been cabled of the "Gesangverein," or choral society which has been organized by the Germans in one of the branches north of feud to relieve the monotony of the lours and days. Most of their singing is done in the deep black trench. There is the dense fog, the gray, ghost like figures of the soldiers; offers ready for instant use rest across the protecting ridge of earth, pointed toward the enemy's line only 690 yards away. The stillness is broken only by the booming of artillery in the distance and then song wells forth if a the men whose voices may soon be stilled forever. But today the "Gos in everrain" sang in the old French church at Tiacourt. The company had just come in for a test after several days and nights in the trenches. There was a soft, dim light in the old church, the singing mourdery" of soldiers stood in the choir soft. Other soldiers and officers sat in hard wooden, bench-like pews. Scores of soldiers stood in the aisles. There was intense silence. Then the musical director raised his baton. "It is the Day of the Lord," welled out in rich musical tones. It was sung with the deepest feeling. As the anthem swelled forth a religious servor shone in the faces of the soldiers. Among those in the pews and standing in the aisles, hands were clasped, heads bowed—Hips moved in silent prayer. The anthem is ended. There is a moment of impressive silence and the soldier voices sing out in "Deur Fatherland. My Beloved Fatherland." Heads are raised, shoulders squared, patriotic exaltation comes into the faces—the love of country for which they are sacrificing their lives. Again the music ceases and once more the leader raises his baton for the next song. It is "My Home Is On the Beautiful Rhine" It sweeps softly through the church There is a movement among the soldiers. Chins drop on breasts, faces soften, the patriotic fire in the eyes disappears before a softer, gentler gleam. A French woman, leading two little children by the hand comes up the aisle from the door and kneels in front of the dark altar. A soldier at the end of the bench leans over and touches the hair of the little girl with his lips. The great tears roll down the bearded cheek of a soldier nearby. He is struggling with some great emotion. His arms are partly out stretched as if touching to clean some one in them. In his eyes there is the expression of the most intense loving man may know—the longing for home and loved ones. "Never, never will I see my home: never will I see them again; it tells me so," he softly whispers. The song of home is ended. The French woman and her two little children still knew before the a'tar. Silently the soldiers begin to leave the church. The concert of the "Gesangverein" is ended. Within a few days these men will be back in the trenches, a pare of a war machine, but today a song laid their hearts bare. "Why not put the Government under Government control?" asks a contemporary. Well, because since President Wilson's election it has been—Louisville Courier-Journal. well herds from contact with infected ones. The warning cautions farmers to make sure that men claiming to represent the department art actually federal inspectors. The Foot-and-Mouth Disease Appears For The Sixth Time WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. Foot and mouth disease among the cattle has made its appearance this year in the United States for the sixth time in the history of the country, it is announced by the Department of Agriculture. In addition to a rigid quarantine being maintained in four counties of Michigan and Indian where disease has been discovered, a farm to farm inspection to ascertain the seriousness and extent of the outbreak is being conducted by the department. Although the foot and mouth disease is fatal in a small percentage of cases only, the total damage that it causes in a serious epidemic is enormous, the department says. It is extremely contagious and may be spread in a number of ways. For this reason, say authorities of the department, it is important that the disease be eradicated before it has gained a firm footing. If it should spread ever any considerable portion of the country, the department fears it could never be hooled. Interstate shipments of cattle, sheep, and other ruminants and swine have already been prohibited from Berrick and Case counties in Michigan, and Laporte and St. Joseph counties in Indiana. This厩畜 entered to hide, skins, and hoofs, and hay, straw and similar fodder, which have not been thoroughly disinfected. Railroads are required to disinfect cars used in transporting live stock from the infected area. In addition, to these precautions taken by the Federal government, it is expected that the state authorities will co-operate by placing a quarantine on individual farms where the disease appears. The department points out that while these measures may cause some temporary inconvenience, it believes that once farmers realize the seriousness of the disease they will co-operate heartily in stamping it out. The firts time outbreaks of the disease, in 1870, 1880, and 1884, were comparatively trifling, in 1902, however, the disease gained a considerable footing in New England before it was discovered, and in 1908 it cropped out in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland. It is believed that on the last occasion the disease was spread by shipment of cattle from Detroit, to Buffalo. PEOPLE NEED NOT FEAR TERROR AT No Cattle With Foot-and-Mouth Disease Being Slaughtered According to the specialists of the department of agriculture people even in states quarantined for the foot-and-mouth disease need have no fear of eating meat, provided they cook it thoroughly. The foot-and-mouth disease is not easily communicated to human beings through food, although milk from a diseased cow might transmit the disease to a human being. In the case of milk, however, pasteurization will render it entirely safe. Human beings who do get the disease commonly get it from direct contact with a sick animal. It is wisest, therefore, for people to keep away from all animals having the disease, unless they are properly provided with rubber gloves, coats and boots, and these are thoroughly disinfected after such visit to the animals. In the case of meat, as in the case of milk, it must be remembered that all herds which actually show the disease are quarantined, nad neither milk nor meat from the sick animals can be sold. 60 per cent of the meat used in this country is produced in the nearly 900 federally inspected slaughtering and packing establishments located in 240 cities. In these establishments no animal is slaughtered until it has passed an antemortem inspection and also a most rigid post-mortem inspection by a veterinarian at time of slaughter Af- whence the disease was carried by other shipments to New York and through Pennsylvania to Maryland. The cause of the present outbreak is not definitely known, but it is probable that the disease was brought from abroad in a shipment of hides intended for manufacturing purposes. Foot-and-mouth disease is always to be found in some quarter of Europe, and there is always need for precaution to keep it out of this country. An infected herd loses 20 to 30 per cent of its value, the department estimates. Misunderstanding of the Smith-Lever bill is revealed by letters to the Department of Agriculture from many sections of the country indicating that many farm women have come to believe that the government is about to assist them with grants of money (5) individuals. Under this law contributed by both the Federal and state governments are made available for practical demonstration work in agriculture and home economies. Experts from the agricultural colleges and county agents both men and women are to show farmers and farm women the value of modern methods in agriculture and housekeeping and demonstrate the use of labor saving devices. The demonstration work under the Smith-Lever act has already met with much success in several statutes and additional funds now available will greatly increase its efficiency. The formation of clubs of farm women is advised by the department. They then can communicate with the county agents or state agricultural college and serve a visit from the demonstrator The planting of tulip bulbs in the late fall atters heavy frosts or high freezes have checked vegetation is advised by the department of agriculture in a burlington just issued. On the fertileth parallel they should be planted in the first weeks in November and further south a little later. These plants are adapted to outdoor culture in all parts of the United States where the weather is cold enough to freeze the soil for a few weeks and they should be planted about a month before the ground's table to be frozen. Other Holland bulbs, such as the bycathin and narcissus, should be planted at the same time as the tulip. ter slaughter its meat canot leave the establishment until it has been carefully examined and stamped "U.S Inspected and Passed." In all these establishments no animal showing any symptoms whatever of foot-and-mouth disease is allowed to go to slaughter, and no meat which, on post-mortem inspection, shows any suspicious symptoms of this complaint can be shipped out of the establishment. All meat suspected of coming from an animal suffering with this complaint is sent, under government seal, to the tanks to be rendered into fertilizer. The federal inspection stamp on meat, therefore, means that it is entirely safe. The federal government, however, has no jurisdiction over local slaughter houses which do not ship meat outside of the state in which it is slaughtered. If, however, meat from such an animal did escape from one of these local slaughter houses, which are purely under state or municipal control, all danger of its communicating the disease to human beings would be removed when it is thoroughly cooked and sterilized. Those who are located near an infected region and wish to be absolutely certain of the safety of their meat should cook it thoroughly. The disease when contracted by adults is not at all a serious illness. It commonly takes the form of slight fever sores in the mouth and a slight eruption on the fingers. In the case of small or sickly children, it may take a more serious form, especially if complicated by other illnesses. Irish railways have a mileage of 3,403. There has been little in crease in twenty years. WOUNDED SOLDIER HAS LONG CRAWL Private Hurst of the Goldstrom Guards, Has Awful Experience. By P. M. SARL. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) LONDON, Nov. 10.—(by mail to New York).—A mile-and-a-half crawl with five bullets in his body, under artillery and rifle fire, was the awful experience of Private Dan Hurst of the Goldstrom Guards. Writing to his wife, Hurst says, 'Don't fret over me. I have five wounds, but I am lucky chap to be here to tell the tale, for if the shell which hit me in the chest had exploded a bit lower I should have been killed outright. Our ambulance men tried to get us away but the Germans ordered upon them so they had to leave us to take our chances. It rained in torrents all that night (Monday) and the Germans put sentries with bayonets over us. They took all our food and water away, and on Tuesday afternoon some of them tried to make out that we had been firing upon them. We asked how that was possible when they had taken everything from us, but they were going to shoot us, when an officer came up and stopped them. "On Wednesday they removed us to the far side of a haystack out of their line of fire, so we could not get hit, but one of the British shells exploded near us, and so course, I got hit. We thought it best to make a dash for it. I could not walk and had to crawl on my hands and knees with my bounds bleeding, and while I was crawling away they started to run on us. There were six of us who looked but only two of us finished the trenches were culy a mile and a half away but it took us four hours and a half to crawl there." "I have the honor to inform you but I have enlisted in the 4th Queen's," wrote a butler resigning as position with a wealthy Kent family by whom he has been employed for 15 years. "I hope my leaving will not inconvenience you, but I feel that my obvious duty is to do my little share towards the defense of my King and country, especially as my work as an indoor servant is such as can be done and in times like these I think should be done—by women. No single man with any patriotism can remain if he is able-hodied and otherwise eligible to serve in the army." A photographer in Southampton row is showing his studio a napt comment on the war. Last September the Duke of Westminster and other British sportsmen sent round a circular letter asking for subscription to the Olympic games to be held in Berlin, and in the request were the following words: "In honor bound, Great Britain must send a team to Berlin and this object can only be accomplished by efficient organization and adequate fina)ncial support." The photographer has written below by way of comment: "The response to the above appeal has been most successful, the money has been found; and the team most thoroughly equipped, is now well on its way to Berlin. Very little doubt exists that all thep rizes will fall into its arms." This effort is headed "In Honor Bound."

"It's a mere trifle," thought Ebbe as he handed the Rhineland Chief a certified check for the release of the shortstops. "I can get it back again by holding a splendid Tinker Day" and lore the shekels in that wave. I happily, however, Tinker couldn't see Gowanus and declined to write his signature in the lower right hand corner next to the red seal—and jumped to the Federal league instead. And the loss of Chicago's North Side held the "Tinker Day."

REQUIREMENTS ARE UPSET AT BROWN Young Men Who Fail to Pass Examination Will be Given a Chance. PROVIDENCE. R. L. Nov. 20. The fact that young men who fail to pass entrance examination at colleges are able to do college work well has been proven at Brown University in a novel experiment. A year ago last September ten young men who were unable for various reasons to fulfill the entrance requirements were admitted as an experiment. The faculty desired to learn whether or not the ability of a man to pass entrance requirements was a true test of his ability as a student. According to the report of Dean Randall, nine of the ten men proved to be unusually good students and entirely worthy of the opportunity which was opened to them. The result of the test is bound to bring about a more liberal treatment of colleges toward applicants for admission, and a wide study of educational capabilities will eventually supersede the old-fashioned tests for entrants.
