The American Army.
(Secretary Root at West Poin

CSecretary Root at West Point.
~ UR army, small as it was, and
far across the sea, within q
~ few weeks of active militarv
operation captured the forti-
fled city, took prisoner an army greater
in number than itself and ended in a
single short campaign the conflict with
the power which once controlled almost
the whole of the western world. Hav-
ing accomplished that feat, the army
gave to the island of Cuba what it had
won. 1t released the imprisoned; it
healed the sick; it cleaned the jails; it
opened hospitals and asylums; it dotted
the country from one end to the other
with schools; it gathered children from
the fields and forests and towns and set
them in rows of bright and interested
faces with school books before them; it
eXtirpated disease and saved more lives
than We're lost in all the war; it es-
tablished the most wonderful school of
government ever known on the face of
the earth, and for three years has been
teaching the Cuban people how to gov
ern themselves, and at last it has come
away, leaving happy and grateful
people.
Its clear-sighted courage made
straight the way from the sea to Pekin,
and after the capture of the imperial
city and the rescue of the beleagered
legations, in the space of a few short
weeks the district OF the city controlled
by the American army was found
crowded with the people who had re-
turned to their customary vocations un-
der the protection OF wise and just SOL
ders who fought and who carried the
blessings of peace and justice. and they
fought under the Stars and Stripes.
In the Philippines, that great stretch
of country extending for more than a
thousand miles from north to south, it
has put down an insurrection of 1000 900
of people, so that today peace reigns
from the northermost point of Luzon to
the southermost island of the Sulu
archipelago. And with the sword it has
carried the schoolbook, the blessings of
peace and self-government and individ-
ual liberties, so that today, within
three years after the commencement of
the great struggle that began in Feb
ruary, 1899. nine-tenths of all the men
who took part in the insurgent govern
ment are now engaged in sustaining OF
carrying on the government of the Phil
ippines under the agency Of American
liberty.

This Academy had its birth and grew to
manhood in the most marvellous century
of recorded time. During this eventful
period there were graduated 4,067 cadets.
They have displayed their devotion upon
countless battlefields and attested their
usefulness in all the civil walks of life, in
science and art, in trade and commerce,
In literature and oratory, in law. medi-
cine, theology, diplomacy and statesman
ship, from the modest engineer to presi-
dent Of the republic. Nearly all who en-
tered the army have been disbursing Of
flcers in some capacity or other, from
post treasurer to paymaster general. and
with such scrupulous fidelity have the
hundreds of millions intr,,sted to them
been accounted for that those who have
ever been charged with precaution can
be numbered on the fingers of one hand.
OF the total of 4.067 graduates o3S have
fallen killed or mortally wounded on the
field of battle.

Il ing of the American Medical
association published in full
in Saturdays Medical Record, contains
a number Of practical suggestions re-
lating to the public health. DR.. Wyeth
hits from the shoulder and calls a
spade a spade.
He strongly urged the creation by
congress. as part of the proposed ex-
ecutive department of commerce and
industries, Of bureau Of public health
to be in charge of a medical officer to
direct our foreign and insular quaran-
tine. interstate quarantine, the medical
supervision Of epidemics, and, in fact
all matters pertaining to the general
health of any group of states, or Of the
entire country. Especially did he in
dorse the paying Of greater attention
to military hygiene.
He deplored the lack of power which
medical organizations exert in shaping
legislation affecting public sanitation,
saying: ut is a fact painful to ac-
learned professions, the ministry, law,
and medicine, ours is accorded the in
ferior position, and we who, day in and
out, in every home Of the land, are
close to the personal friendship of our
patients, respected and loved as indi-
viduals are incapable Of welding by
organization and discipline the power
full influence of united profession aim
ing at a high and honorable purpose.
Witness the snail-like progress which
marked the various steps in securing
our laws for elevating the standard Of
requirements in medical education and
for medical practice. Witness the op-
position to our efforts in securing
better sanitary regulations, and in the
struggle to protect the public from the
horde of uneducated or misguided per-
sons who under the guise Of Christian
Science, osteopathy, and other schisms,
Insist upon being permitted to take
charge of and treat human beings suf-
fering from disease without submitting
themselves to the state examination
legally required of u.s."
And his remedy was first, higher
standard of medical education, and
secondly, better organization. DR.. Wy
eth emphatically favored revision OF
the code of ethics, to bring it abreast
of the spirit of the times; and he cited
cases in which the laws of the code and
the laws Of the state conflict, arguing
that one or the other or both needs re-
vision.
The conclusion Of his address included
an earnest appeal to the 10000 regular
practitioners represented by the asso-
citation to do less doctoring and more
preventing disease to be teachers
more than healers of men. Along this
latter line DR.. j. Nj. Emmert, of At
lantic, Ia, delivered notable Grafton
in which he demanded general COM
pulsory vaccination; the quarantining
of tubercular subjects, man and beast
alike; the establishment of tuberculosis
sanatoria; the prohibition of marriage
to blood relations up to the second de-
gree, and to all persons of either sex
affected with either congenital or ac-
quired specific or infectious disease.

Bishop Ingram, of London, said: HUI
man nature always reminds me of the
story of the two frogs that fell into a
pot of cream. One Of them soon gave up
the struggle as a bad job, and without
much ado sank to the bottom. The other,
striking out with all his legs, and per-
severing, eventually found himself resting
upon pat of butter churned by his own
efforts to get his head above the level

outbuilding. layer of chaff or saw

exercised TO keep a layer of it between
the onions and the sides of the bin.
When the onions are all in. a very
heavy layer is placed over the top.
They will freeze in cold climate, but
will not freeze and thaw, which is the
only way in which freezing hurts them.
When wanted for use or sale. they can
be thawed out gradually and will be as
sound as when first pulled. The last
of them will probably be disposed of
by February. so there will be no dan
ger of their thawng too rapidly when
the weather becomes warm.
Sorting In Early Winter.
1t is Il good plan to sort onions when
storing them in early winter to save
handling them so much later. The
small ones can he sold for pickles.

alize a profit by the enterprise. AS

secures his profit by the increased
value of each pound of beef by con
verting the relatively cheap raw ma
terial in the form of stockcrs and feed
ers into high priced prime steers or
whether he has realized that profit by
being able to produce gain in live

greatest confidence.
Economical Gain In Flesh and Fat.

ABOUT BEN DAVIS.
Professor VAN Dcman'S "Two Facts"
How Il Won Its WAY.


How II Won It's Way.
There are two undcnablc facts in
connection with the fruit business.
one is that Ben Davis is the leading
business apple Of America and the
other that it is steadily losing caste.
The truth is that it can be successfully
grown over a wider area and more
chcaply produced than any other APP
pie This, together with its attractive
appearance and ability to keep well,
gists it a wonderful hold on the mar
llets Of this and foreign countries. 1t
has won its way to lis present position
against the protests of those who know
what good apples are. The frequent
and truthful charges against its quail
ity have heretofore been of little avail,
Planters have listened only to the clink
Of the dollars it has brought them.
While | am writing my wife is max
ing pies of York Imperial. 1t will grow

Winesap and its seedlings, Esopus and

ago there was Il general complaint of
an excess of Ben Davis apples Buyers

other good variety to 90 with them.
Big fruit dealers in the west have
taken action of the same kind this fall.
In st. Louis the price of Ben Davis is
not far from half lower than any other
variety. There is general cutlery
against it by these men because the
small dealers and consumers have be-
