American chIvaIry.

Toward women the American mans
attitude is fine. She is neither his
deity nor his doll. He simply treats
her with Difference. His chivalry has
rs little to do with saccharine utter
ances. scraping feet. and bended
knees. as has his patriotism with hys-
terical shriekings and the waving of
ensanguined flags. He is stronger in
his silence and apparent submission
to the ladies of his household than the
most blatant vulgarian who prates of
domestic domination. Place aux
Danes Is more than a phrase to the
American man. His Unborn respect
for her rights" often causes him to
sacrifice his own God-given privileges.

Two More Nermais for etatc.

Colorado IL to have two more normal
schools. The lower house Of the Legis-
lature has given its final approval to
two bills. appropriating $4,000 for
each Of two new schools. One will be
located in Durango and the other in
Grand Junction. For years there has
been . bitter struggle to create new
normal schools in the state. but the op-
position Of Greeley, where the only
normal school was situated, always
prevailed. and there have been some
memorable lobbies in the past which
have worked diligently to defeat these
bills.
There was q lively battle between
Glenwood springs and Grand Junction

fered to give $4,000 in cash and five
acres Of ground worth 5000, II the
Legislature would locate the school
there. That would have saved the

payers less than any other similar

Why Beef is Tough.

A few points may be suggested with
the view OF encouraging more intelll-
gent observation on the part of those
who have opportunities to study the
question, and in order to stimulate the
further discussion Of this important
matter.
Lean meat, which is another name
for muscular tissue, is composed Of
small cells or hbers, microscopical in
size, grouped together in bundles
The fiber bundle is stringy particle
of flesh, seen in boiled beef for ex-
ample. These are bound together into
muscles and the muscles into pairs Or
larger groups.
The material which envelopes the
bundles of hbers extends between the
fbers within the bundles, and also sur
rounds the entire muscles. It is a
tough, fbrous, elastic substance called
connective tissue. Besides holding
the fbers and the bundles together, it
acts as stOrehouse of fat about the
muscles, between the bundles, or a.
mong the bundles themselves
TOughness in meat is largely due to
this connective tissue and depends up
on changes in texture of the muscle
cell itself, which changes are little un-
derstood, as in fact are all changes in
the cell substance of animals or plants.
The principal question then becomes
mainly one as to the effect of age,
quality and condition of the animal
upon the amount and character of this
connective tissue and upon the texture
of the cell substance
A mature COW in thin condition has
coarser meat, that is to say, larger
muscle fibers and fiber bundles than a
young heifer of equal quality quality
referring to 6neness of bone, skin,
hair and general features, and to
smoothness of flesh. Coarseness of
grain involves an increased amount of
connective tissue, and the increased
toughness is the logical result.

Typhoid Fever

Typhoid fever is still claiming vic
tins in Florida
And typhoid fever is preventa-
bic disease.
Flies carry typhoid; milk contains
the germs Of typhoid; the water we
drink may be alive with them. Pools
in open lots or in the streets are ia
vorite places for these germs to pro-
pagate and multiply.
There were SO many cases OF ty-
phoid in Savannah lately that the au-
thorities were obliged to take action.
More than half of the several hundred
cases we're positively traced to one
dairy, but the inspection did not come
until death had claimed many victims.
1T is gust as easy to inspect the
dairies before the man on the pale
horse begins his ride through the
streets as it is after
"One case of smallpox in town will
throw the people into spasms OF
fright. One mad dog yelping and
swapping through the streets will
create a panic Yet typhoid fever,
far more deadly than either, is with
us nearly all the time, and we make
no motion to kill off the flies or to
: drain the pools or to look after the
milk supply until the people begin to
die by the dozen.
Typhoid fever exists in Florida,
and typhoid fever is an absolutely
preventable disease"
Florida has but little fever as COM
pared to other states, and it can be
prevented here.-Tallahassee Sun.

The Care of Implements.

We have frequently urged that bet

my to leave the tools out, exposed
to sun and rain. Farm and Ranch
tells Of a hay press which has stood
the wear and tear of ten years use.
There are wagons in daily use which
are much older than others that have
been abandoned as past use. The
Farm and Ranch tells as follows Of
hay press that has stood the wear
and tear Of ten years use:
We saw hay press turning out a.
bale every ~ seconds that had seen
heavy service on the big Marshall
hay ranch of Dallas county for ten
years. But when telling of this record
Of service, Mr.. Marshall was careful
to state that this press had never been
exposed to a single rain. This press
is hooded under an iron cover which
the owner devised for the purpose.
Wherever the press goes this protec-
ton from rain and sun goes too, for
all is built together. How many
pieces Of valuable farm machinery re-
ceive the protection they deserve?

The Pecan Trees.

Mr.. J. B. Wright, of Cairo, Ga,
says: The care of the pecan is all
important. On it will depend success
or failure It is not an exaggeration
to say that one acre properly cared
for is worth ten acres that are neg
lected. There may be profit in grow
ing pecans with Indifferent attention,
but the greatest success can only be
achieved by the most careful attention
to all Details And when | emphasize
the Importance of this, | do not mean
that pecans are more difficult to grow
than any ordinary fruits and nuts; on
the contrary, the opposite is true.
The pecan will stand more neglect
than the apple, the peach, or the plum,
but it is neither wise nor profitable to
neglect it. There is pecan tree near
here that is forty-eight feet and eight
inches high. 1t has proper care and
has yielded $50 pounds Of nuts. There
is another tree that is also sixteen
years old, and is only four feet and
six inches high. 1t never has had any
care since planted, and has never
borne nut"

Undreamed of Wealth Discovered in
Pine Wood.

Note particularly the heading, it is
not the pine woods, but pine wood.
Though little or nothing has been
said about it in the newspapers, it
is fact that a process has been in
use for some time for making tur-
pentine directly from the wood by
distilling it in specially constructed
retorts. We know of one plant, not
many miles from this place, where
a man has two retorts and makes
large quantities of turpentine. We
have been informed that it sells for
about $I.5o per barrel less than that
produced by distilling the crude tur-
pentine, but the wood left in the re-
tort is still salable and pays all the
expenses, SO that the turpentine is
all profit
From an item in the St. Augustine
Record it seems that other sources
of profit have been found in wood.
The item is as follows:
After extracting sufficient turpentlne
to pay the cost of the wood twice,
Mr.. T. R. Osmond, of the St. Johns
Light and Power Company, has found
that considerable wealth is still retain
ed in the pulp, which the ordinary

Individual would discard as prepos-
ferrous. Oils and acids of value equal
to the turpentine have been extracted
from the pulp and then still further
valuable asset remains. After the
wood has been robbed Of all the mois-

recent tests have resulted in produc-
ing an excellent grade of paper from
