X-RAY KILLS DOCTOR.
Rochester Doctor Is Fourth Victim of
Roentgen Apparatus.

The death of DR.. Weigel. surgeon of
Rochester. from Il disease due to constant
use of the N-rays makes the fourth who
has lost his life from this cause. The
others were an assistant of Thomas Ed
son, Boston physician, and a woman of
San Francisco named Fleischman. In
the case OF DIR. Weigel, since 1904, when
his right hand and all but the thumb
and Il finger of the left hand were re-
moved, there had been four operations
trying to save his life. The first removed
a part of the right shoulder; then part
of the muscles covering the right breast.
Mystery completely enyclops the cause of
death, the disease being unknown to
medical science. though it is believed to
involve some great principle of life. DIR.
Weigel was president of the Rochester
Academy of Medicine and the American

Stomach Worms in Sheer.

The symptoms of infestation by stom-
ach worms in sheep are briefly noted
III a government bulletin. In prevent
ing the infestation of lambs with stom-
ach worms two general plans are usual
ly applicable. The ewes may be kept
in bare lot from which the lambs may
escape to non-infested pasture for graz
ing. The danger of infestation is thus
reduced to a minimum. Again, wher-
ever practicable, the danger Of infesta-
ton from stomach worms is largely
eliminated If the lambs come in the fall
rather than in the spring
Brief notes are given on the direct
remedies for stomach worms, including

different kinds. "Two-t thirds of the
birds counted were English sparrows,
and about one-sixth of the remainder
crow blackbirds. The next most abund-

was a golden yellow, with a rose blush

Spreading Manure.

When manure is spread on the hard
surface of the ground some of the solu-
bic portions will be carried away by
heavy rains. At the same time it is
expensive to first pillow the ground and

plan is to spread the manure and then

RURAL MAIL DELIVERIES.
Some of the Provisions for Securing
Routes-Better Pay.

Routes-Better Pay.
In view of the fact that congress
has increased very materially the COM
pensation of rural free delivery car
riers new interest has been awakened
in the extension of rural service in
this state. For daily service the de-
partment requires a petition of 100
names of heads of families for route
twenty four miles or more in length,
but as a rule this service will be es-
tablished where inspection shows about
seventy-five families who will become
patrons. Petitions for tri- weekly SER
vice on single route are received only
when signed by seventy-five persons,
heads of families, and where petitions
are filed for tri-weekly services on two
routes to be served on alternate days
by the same carrier it is desirable that
two routes serve not less than $50
families, though in exceptionally meri-
torlous cases petitions for tri-weelkly
service on two routes will be accepted
where but 100 families will be served
by the two routes and it is believed
LA LAl-WCEfAly S6INtCG OAl al SllABAG IOALG
where inspection shows about sixty
families will become patrons, estab-
lishment will be ordered.
Congressman Marshall suggests that
parties living a mile or two from a
proposed route may become signers of
petitions and patrons of routes if they
desire. As the inspector may use his
own judgment as to the line of the
route such signers may possibly find
themselves right on the route.
In addition to this the revenues of
the offices out of which the route
runs, are increased as such Office is en-
titled to credit for stamp cancellations
upon letters mailed upon the route,
and where this service does away with
the necessity of maintaining a small
inland office off the line of railway, the
office. from which the route starts, nat
urally receives the benefit of cancella-
tions which would otherwise have gone
to the smaller office in addition to
which the patrons generally have
much more regular service.
