Thin, scrawny. feshless people are

are the first subjects of any contagious
disease coming in the neighborhood.

efforts to avoid exposure TO damp and

TEXAS CATTLE FEVER.

Much interest is being aroused over attempt to do
more effective work toward Kidding the country Of catte
ticks The work heretofore has not been systematic and
many people slow to accept the tick expana
ton of the cattle disease Cattlemen are working to Sc
cure larger appropriation from the government aid
in the work of exterminating The ticks The following
telegram from Washington to the Dallas News gives
idea of the interest taken in this work:
"The house committee on agriculture was enlightened
this morning by number of scientists connected with
agricultural experiment stations in the south the
subject Of the cattle tick which means Of injecting
cattle with Texas fever and which loss to the
stockman Of that section estimated year
Most of the scientists who spoke during the conference
of southern congressman yesterday made statements to-
day before the committee and in addition Secretary Will
son and DR.. Melvin, chief Of the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry made few remarks express their approval
the demand for a larger appropriation enable the
partment bring about such cooperation asis necessary
to exterminate the pests 1t is proposed to make
determination The demand is for the sinews of war
The mission of these southern scientists wa therefore,
to convince the committee that the ticks be EXTERN
mated and tnat such accomplishment would be worth
many what it is likely COST The experience of
individuals and of states was reced to prove that the
ticks be extermnated in three ways-that of dip
ping that of hand application of oil solutions and that
of starving the ticks by removing cattle from infected
pastures and keeping them for three four months
But it explained that of these methods gives
relief unless cooperation of effort brought
about through all the infected sections and the aapro
pration demanded is to enable the department bring
about this cooperation"

Real Music.

What is real musicg For 80 people
out Of a hundred it is mystery, a
dithyramb of din, a sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal, and strings. super
adding the voice Of the domestic beast
whose true inwardness they are. For
nine out of the remaining ten real
music provides a species if intellectual
qualification. They have studied the
stun somewhat and have an under
standing, more or less adequate, of its
technical significance, and thus they
find its performance interesting. They
are thrilled with the violins lingering
tenths and the trom5ones mounting to
z in alt But the hundredth man gets
a genuine emotional effect from real
music, although the chances seem to
be that he is mad.-Washington Star.
