YEAR WILL BE REQUIRED.
THAT MUCH TIME is NECESSARY
TO REARRANGE SCHEDULES.
Official Thinks All the Railroads Will
Meet the TWo-Cent Rate as Quick
Iy as 1t Is Possible.

A local Pennsylvania official states
that all railroads will meet the 2-cent
rate passed by several states as quickly
after July as the interstate commerce
commission would permit.
1t has become impossible, he says, to
maintain interstate rates on the old
basis, and the commission will be ask
ed for a special dispensation to re-
duce rates without waiting the usual
thirty days. These new rates Will be
put on within ten days on short inter-
state tickets. But it will require near
ly year to rearrange all the schedules
of the country.

Partisan restaurants must be chemists
as well as cooks. Before one is hired,
according to the Cri de Paris, a menu

other dishes. He is expected to give
an example of his skill and prepare the
needed dishes from veal, rabbit and

and chemicals. BY the use of cochineal

FORUM OF The PEOPLE
SITUATION AT WHITEWATER.
OPEN TO ALL.

Editor Palladium:
By request | desire to correct the
statement published in the Saturday
issue of the Daily Palladium, stating
that there was three new cases of
dfphtheria in my family. There has
been only one case of true diphtheria
in Franklin township. Ray, the 10
year-old son of Eddie Jordan, has been
sick for several days. He is now
convalescing and trust that thorough
disinfection will wipe out of existence
every baccilli of diphtheria in Frank
line township. The undue excitement
was due to the Misrepresentation of a
party who claimed my entire family
had diphtheria and that | was SNUG
sgling the matter. 1 have not been
entitled to a particle of criticism at
any time. My wife had an attack of
tonstlitis after returning home from a
visit to relatives in Marion, and for
the reason that she remained over
night in house where there had been
q case of diphtheria last March, quar-
antined her on the second floor and
did not permit any one except myself
to go up stairs, and administered 1000
units of antf-toxine and guarded
against every source of Infection, so as
to avoid any chance of conveying in
lection to anyone else. No membrane
developed at any time and anything
short of meteorological examination
at the state laboratories could not
have determined to a certainty that it
was a case of diphtheria. My family
are all well at this time and no other
member of my household has had a
particle of throat trouble. The house
at Marion hadsbeen disinfected by the
health officer. The bacillus of diph-
iberia has been found virulent after
seven months. The chance of diph-
iberia was small under the circum-
stances, but / did not wait to see il a
diphtheria membrane would develop,
and none did at any time. The facts
as stated above are correct and i gave
the public the benefit of the doubt in
this case, and stated the facts daily as
given above. which are sufficient, con-
sidering that there was no known
chance of infection and no diphtheria
membrane developed. The chance CT
infection at Whitewater will be exceed
fngiy small after July End Respect
fully, A II. JONES,
Health Officer.

Odd Revenge of the Whimsical Count
Do Laurasuais.
The Count de Laura guais was one OF
the most singular characters OF a
whimsical time. He was full of oddi-
ties and had a reckless spirit of daring
The boldness of his language and ac-
ton once drew upon him the displeas
ure of Louis XVI. who banished him
from Paris. but he came back on n
festal day and was seen In the very
face of the court walking about a race
course. The king winked at the esca
pade. Such a culprit was incorrigible.
But one OF the most absurd of his
antics had to do with the Prince d., a
very dull courtier. against whom he
had grudge. One day the count ap-
piled very gravely to a physician, ask
ing if 1T were possible for a person to
die of ennui.

rare

continued state of ennui might induce
some disease, such as consumption,
and in that sense it might cause the
patients DEATH
On this the consultation was written
down and signed at the counts request
and the fee paid.
Next be went to an advocate and
asked whether he could make a legal
complaint against a man who by any
means whatsoever had formed a de-
sign against his life. The advocate as
sured him that there was not the least
doubt of 1t and in his turn signed
declaration. Armed with these docu-
ments. the Count de Lauraguais insti-

Why Young Trees Are Best.

These are the advantages of planting
young trees: They can be trained to
the desired form better than older
trees, says Farming. A . or 3-year- old
tree is branched and has had its head
already formed by the nurseryman; a
yearlins tree Of the apple, pear and
sweet cherry, Is usually unbranched.
sometimes the nurseryman has headed
the tree too high or has not been care
full enough about starting out the scat
fold limbs and 1t Is difficult to cor
rect the form Of the head after it has
been started. There Is an unmistak-
able preference for low headed trees,
due chiefly to the need Of economy and
efficiency In spraying and harvesting,
The single disadvantage OF low-head.
Ing is greater Inconvenience in tillage.
This Is much more than Offset by the
advantages, In the judgment Of most
growers. Within ten years the height
recommended for heading apple trees
In the East has been reduced at least
two feet. The bearing of this on the
matter of yearling trees Is that the
grower can head yearling tree where
he pleases.

Dried Beet and MoIasscS Pulp.

Brief notes are given on the produc-
ton of two feeding stuffs and feeding
experiments with cows are reported
by the Wisconsin station. The ration
used for comparison consisted of five
pounds of hay, thirty-fiye to forty
pounds of silage, and about eight
pounds of grain mixture consisting
of wheat bran, dstillers' grains. ana
cottonseed meal in the proportion of
. . Il. Dried-beet pulp or moiasses-
beet pulp was substituted for the
wheat bran in the ratio of 80 by
weight. Two tests were made. the first
including fifteen COWS and the second
six.
When wheat bran was replaced by
dried-beet pulp in the proportion ndi-
Gated there was no appreciate differ
ence In the effect Of the two rations.
Molasses-beet pulp substituted in the
same manner produced however, about
- per cent more milk and per cent
more butter fat. Beet pulp showed a
tendency to decrease the fat content
Of the milk. The results, therefore
indicate that when wheat bran is val
ued at SIS ton, drie0-teet pulp is not
worth over $40 and molasscs- beet pulp
over $13 ton.
