lutions reported from local unions.

TO WAGE WAR ON MALARIA
New York City Means to Treat It
Practically as a Contagious
Disease Hereafter.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Jan. 23.-With the coming Of
spring one Of the most progressive move
ments in the government of any American
city is to be taken up by the health de-
partment Of New York-the stamping out
of malaria The placing Of malarial cases
under strict supervision and the enforcing
Of changed conditions so as to prevent
new cases will. the authorities believe,
bring about vast improvement In New
Yorl<s health.
The time has come, DR.. I.ederle of the
health department says, when every seri-
Gus case Of malaria about New York will
be isolated and put practically in the
ca tegory of contagious diseases. Such
isolation will be accomplished by having
the patient placed in a cage Of thickly
woven wires SO that no mosquitoes can
get to him.
For months specially picked and trained
men have been travelling over the bor-
oughs, plating on a series Of maps all the
instances of torn up ground and extensive
excavations. New York in it's present
condition Of broken ground, with streets
sliced, and many transit borrowings, is
hot bed for malaria propagation.
These places will. be filed IN wherever
possible and the stagnant ponds in outly-
ing districts will be drained. Within the
city proper the sanitary inspectors will
pay particular attention to back yard con-
ditions, to see that no stagnant water Is
allowed to remain.

First State Bank of Aberdeen, respondent. vs..
VIII Thuet and Frank Thuet, copartners as
Thuet Brothers, appellants. :
The defendants, live stock brokers, promised
to honor the draft Of a cattle buyer to be drawn
on them for $500, If two car loads of cattle were
consigned to them. The plaintiff discounted the
draft, but only one car load was ever con-
signed to the defendants. This fact the plaintiff
knew when 1t discounted the draft. The defend
ants, without notice, they claim, that only one
car load had been would be consigned to them,
but with such notice the plnintin claims, &C.
cepted the consigned property and sold it as
such brokers. They realized therefrom net sum
over and above the charges thereon, which was
less than the amount of the draft, but the gross
sum received for the property exceeded such
draft. Held:
First-The promise Of the defendants was a
conditional one, and they not liable the
draft unless they waived the condition by &C.
cepting and selling the property actually con-
signed to them with notice that no further con-
signment had been would be made. Whether
they did so waive the condition was under the
evidence a question Of fact.
Second-The plaintiff by ,discounting the draft
acquired as against the drawer and all persons
having notice thereof special interest in the
property consigned to secure the payment Of the
draft, and the defendants are liable to it as a
matter of law, for the net amount realized from
the sale, but not for the gross sum for which it
sold.
New trial granted conditionally.

PRACTICAL FARMING.
Epitome of the Best Scien-
tific Thought and Practice.


hauled his hogs eight miles to this
butcher shop.
Many farmers who have for years
killed their hogs bring them to this
plant to be butchered: and l have no
doubt they are glad of such an op-
portunity. And if their wives could be
heard from they would give strong
seconds to the plan. They are certainly
relieved of a job that they used to dread
from one butchering time to another.
The men that do this work own small
farms, and, besides growing grain. also
grow small fruits. This butchering for
farmers and others-for they also
butcher for grocery store that has
meat counter, the store owners furnish
ing the hogs-gives them winter work
and a desirable amount of cash, for
they are thrifty men and not afraid to
work.
Butchering centers like these in every
, farming community-one or more, as
the number of hogs to be slaughtered
may require or justify-Would Ger
tainly be great relief to many farmers
and their families, particularly the
women, who find it hard to get help at
such times.
This is better way to solve this
problem than for each farmer to build
a butcher shop and fit it out with
needed appliances to be used once a
year.-New York Tribune.
