The Worlds Health.

While we have not room here to pro.
duce the statistics in support, it may be
confidently asserted that the average
health of the worlds civilized people is
improving with every decade. Two
principle causes are progress in both
medicine and hygiene. A hundred
years ago smallpox was as much
dreaded as Asiatic cholera or yellow
fever are now. Seventy-two years ago
today died DR.. Senner, the man who
on May IA, 1896, performed the first
inoculation for the prevention of small
pox. Today is discovery is known and
adopted by the majority of physicians
in all nations. Pasteur, the Frenchman,
has earned the thanks of the world by
hts incubation for the cure of hydro
phobia. \ new triumph of the germ
theory of disease seems to be the diph-
theritic anti .toxine, which promises to
be safeguard against that scourge of
child-life. On the side of hygiene, as
great improvement has been made in
clothing, exercise cleanliness and food.
Especial attention has been directed to
the latter. and the efforts of legislat tors
have been persistly used to secure
purity of food, while its preparation
for consumption has become a science.
The pubic caterers are alive to the de-
mand. and the cooking of Ameriha no
longer deserves the name of barbaric.
Leaders in this food reform have been
the grea. railroad companies, with
their dining cars, on which the best and
choicest eatables are cooked and served
in the finest style. Pre-eminent among
all are the peerless dining cars of the
Burlington Route operated on the cafe
plan.

Russian Thistle Bill.

Bismarck Tribune: Ex.UniteG States
Senator Casey has been in the capital
city some days, working to perfect pro-
posed Russian thistle legislation. He
was the author of the memorial to con-
gress recently passed and may be said
to be the author of the bill introduced
yesterday in:the senate.
The bill provides for an appropriation
of $50, 900 to aid citizens whose lands
are SO badly infected as to be beyond
remedy within their means.
A tax of one mill is levied to create a
state thistle fund, and is expected to
yield $4,000.
Provision is made for a commission
called the Thistle Relief Board, consist
ing of the governor and two others
whom he shall appoint, the commission
to formulate rules having the force of
law for the prosecution of thistle de-
struction at the expense of the state or
counties, to control all expenditures
from the state thistle fund, and to dir
ect all special work relating to exter-
mination, the commission to receive no
pay. Each county commissioner is to
be charged with the general work of
destruction of thistles in his commits
sloner district. When any complaint of
the existence of thistles is made to a
county commissioner he must first serve
notice, if able to do so. on the owner of
the land Ly registered mail or otherwise.
After ten days he must proceed to de-
stroy the thistles If the owner has not
done so. The same provision is made
to railroad rights of way. Commls.
sioner must examine state lands and
destroy at the expense of the state this
ties on its lands.
Also on lands title to which is in the
United States at expense of the state,
but If such United States lands are oc.
cupied or cultivated the person occupy
ing or cultivating the same must cause
such destruction the same as an owner,
and must clean up the public roads and
all trails and fire breaks.
