THE board of health of this city has
unlimited power to enforce any rules
and regulations necessary for the con-
servation of the health of the COM
munity. Next to the city council it
has fuller jurisdiction than any other
department of the city government.
The charter covers the ground most
admirably, and with an efficient board
of health this city would be almost
perfectly protected. The health board
is distinctly On administrative, an ex-
ecutive body, and the members there
of should be men vitality interested in
attaining the ends for which the board
is created. The charter provides that
the board SD all consist of six mem bers,
one of whom shall be a practicing
physician and one q lawyer. The
charter also provides necessary sani-
tary regulations, and the health board
is charged with their enforcement.
And finally, the jurisdiction CT the city
board of health is made to extend five
miles beyond the city limits in every
direction, within the state.

Sweet potatoes For Stock.
80

That most farmers have very little
knowledge of the value Of sweet pota-
toes as food for stock is evidenced by
the fact that Notwithstanding their
peculiar adaptability to our climate
and easy cultivation little of the nj are
used for the purpose Experiments
with view OF determining the relative
value OF sweet potatoes as food for
stock have been made with the follow
ing results: Three pounds of sweet
potatoes afford almost es much dry
matter. quite as much csrbonaceous
material, but less than half as much
protein as is contained in one pound of
corn. BY using one pound of COW peas
(seed) for every ten pounds of sweet
potatoes this deficiency in protein is
fully supplied. There are soils, such
as heavy sands, on which corn cannot
be raised with profit, but on the other
hand are most admirably sdarted to
sweet potatoes which under favorable
conditions often produce from 300 to
500 bushels per acre. On such soils
it certainly would be more advisable
to plant this crop. It is claimed that
hogs can best be used to advantage in
consuming this crop. Besides the
potato itself The vine also can be
utilized as food for stock. An analysis
made to determine the food value of
the vines has shown them to be
practically identical in chemical COM
position with cow pea vines. The
varieties Of the sweet potato recon.
mended for stock are Hayman and

Americans are new realizing the in-
portance of the Mexican market and
are putting forth their best efforts to
secure the trade. They easily lead on
electric light and mining machinery,
and could lead on q dozen other items
If we half try. Many of our shrewdes t
and most fsr-seeing capitalists are
placing millions of money into safe in
vestments in Mexico, and in every in
stance have shown their wisdom. It
will pay the American people, and pay
them we'll, to study the language, Gus
toms and trade relations of the sister
republic. Do not try to force them to
do business in your way, but as q good
business proposition yield to their way.
and American trade will increase ten

Oae proposed amendment to the city
charter which would be very desirable
is provision for preparing and print
Ing at regular intervals digest of the
ordinances passed by the. city council,
and for the printing each year in
pamphlet form of ali the ordinances
passed by the council during the year.
The charter of the city of Fort Worth
provides for such publication in the
following section:
Sec. 1913. There shall be digest OF
the ordinances of the city which are OF
a general nature published within four
months after the first Tuesday in
April, 1889, and like digest within
every period of five years thereafter:
Provided, It shall be the duty of each
council to cause to be printed In
municipal year all the ordinances
passed during the said year.
There is no doubt that there are
books of this city which are entirely
forgotten except by some ex-aldermau
or ex-city attorney who may have
vague recollection of having been pre-
sent when they we're passed. 1t ia &c
easy to pass good laws in response to
some immediate or fancied demand, and
then to let them lie and decay in the
mustiness of the city records. There
is no attempt made to enforce them. 1t
Is hardly too much to say that there
was never any serious intention of
enforcing them. Many of them
were passed for momentary
political effect or because the city
charter required that they be passed.
1t is growing evil, in every state
and com muuity of this nation. 1t is
not such a serious matter in national
affairs yet, but every state in the
union heaves a sigh of resignation
when the legislature meets, and an
other one of relief when it ad jourps.
In the case of our own city it can hard
1y be said tina. we have too many laws.
The town is almost too young to have
become .prodigal in this direction.
But it can be said that the majority Of
the citizens have not the slightest idea
as to what laws and ordinances are on
the books, and moreover that it is now
such a difficult matter to inform ones
self as to the ordinances supposed to be
in force. owing to the fact that there
has never been printed a compilation of
them, that few persons will take the
trouble to do so unless they are paid
for their time. The ignorance of the
people regarding the laws is further
to be explained by the fact that as
rule the "official paper" in which by
law all ordinances must be published
certain number of times before they
become operative, has been the one

One provision of the city charter
with reference to the duties of the
health board is of interest. owing to
the fact of its frequent violation. It
reads:
Sec. 100. Every keeper of any inn,
hotel, tavern, or boarding or lodging
house in the city. who shall have in
his house any sick guest, traveller, or
other person, shall report the fact and
the name of the person in writing,
within six hours after he came to the
house or was taken sick therein, to the
health physician. Every physician in
the city shall report under his hand to
tbs health physician the name and re-
sidence or whereabouts and disease Of
every person whom he shall have sick
of any malignant Or Infectious or pesti-
lential disease within six hours after
he shall have visited such patient and
determined or suspected the presence OF
such disease.

WHEN the increase and reorganiza-
tion of the army is accomplished, the
new officers of commissioned grades
should by all means be chosen from the
enlisted men who have done the hard
work during the war. At any rate, they
should be given the first chance, and
they should take precedence of officers
appointed upon examination from civil
life. There are great many privstes
and corporsls and sergeants in the
ranks of our glorious army who are
better capable of filling positions of
command rank than many men who
might put up better formal exsmina-
ton, but who lack the years of rough
life and rich experience that lie to the
credit of many a non-commissioned Of
fcer. 1t is likely that if it were fully
understood that promotions would be
mostly made from the ranks. much of
the opposition to the increase of the
regular army would be silenced.

Herself In the American Flag.

Ell PAso. Tex. July 24.-Mrs John D. Rich.
who is accused OF her husbands murder and
has been In FL Paso Jail since last May. was
delivered to the Mex lean authorities at Juarez
this afternoon by United States Marshal Sic
brecht. who came here for the purpose from
San Antonio.
The woman was. after n long argument ON
the part OF the officers. persuaded to enter
hack and was quickly driven to tho Juarez
Jail. accom- panied by the Marshal. deputy
sheriff and woman resident OF this city. The
Mexican Consul. who gave a receipt for the
prisoner preceded her in a buggy At the
bridge a squad OF Mexican guards was drawn
up to receive the prisoner. but at her own re-
quest tho American officers took her straight
to prison. Her rooms had been prepared under
the peraonal direction Of Gov Ahumadn OF Chi
huahun and were ready to receive her. They
are not in the prison, but apart in tho barracks.
They are well furnished. airy and quite COM
fortablc. hut the Mexican Consul said the pris-
oner would only occupy them temporarily.
Before leaving this aide OF the river Mrs.
Rich wound IN American flag about her. and
when ushered into the Jail on the other side
much resembled tho goddess Of liberty. FL
Paso women consider Mrs. Rich's condition
pitahle in the extreme. for 1t is reported that
her child will be born in tho .luarez prison IL
she remains there three months.
