Strain Tells on Physicians.


Scranton, Pa. Typhoid fever,
which was discovered in Scranton on
December z, has already a death list
OF seventy-three, out of go cases, in
a population of 10000.
knowledge that the water supply
was responsible for tAe epidemic
came IS a shock to the city. Scran-
ton had long prided itself on the pur-
ity OF It's water, but the prevalence
Of typhoid IN sections supplied from
the E1mhurst dam soon attracted
suspicion. and this suspicion became
a certainty, when DR.. Dixon, Penn
~sylYanias Health Commissioner, an
nounced that an analysis of water
taken from Roaring Brook gave evil
dence of typhoid bacilli.
Roaring Brook empties into the
Elmhurst GAM. Water supplied from
other reservoirs owned by the Scran-
ton Gas and Water Company is free
from germs.
For a time the daily number OF
new cases reported has averaged fifty.
It is hoped the energetic and untirinE
efforts OF Mayor DimmicS and the
local and State health authorities are
beginning to show their effects
against the epidemic.
Owing to The rapidly increasing
number of cases in the last week, it
was decided to fit up the armory OF
the Thirteenth Regiment as an emer-
gency hospital. Thus far the regular
hospitals have been able tn accommo-
date the patients, but the Emergency
Hospital in the armory will be ready
for use at an hours notice.
Orders for boiling drinking water
md milk Ire strictly enforced. and
there is a regular distribution of dis
infectants through the settlements OF
foreign speaking residents. Nurses
under Miss Cholera, OF Philadelphia.
are doing duty among the poor. and
Mrs. James p. Dickson, daughter-in-
law of the late Thomas Dickson,
president of the Delaware and Hud-
son Railroad, has placed herself at
the head of p committee OF WOMEN
who have volunteered for the relief
of the poor and the afflicted.
Four large public hospitals are
filled to their capacity, and at east
a dozen private ~sauitariums are
crowded with p~atients suffering from
the disease. Physicians and nurses
are working until they are utterly
exhausted. and several of them have
suocumbed to the fever.
1t has remained for Wilkesbarre
TO take re first strenuous measures
for self-protection. A proclamation
was issued signed by the mayor and
chief of police warning the people
against entering Scranton. and Off
GERS were placed at the railroad sta
tions to prevent any passengers from
this place alighting there. All per-
sons who leave the trains are closely
questioned. and if they have come
from Scranton they are detained in
the stations and politely requested
to leave on the next train.

crease and Outnumber Homicides.
Chicago.-The lynching record for
the years is sixty-nine.
The total number of deaths by VIC
lence during 1906 shows a small in
crease ove 1905, being $3.50, as com
pared with 9212. The steady in
rease of suicides continues. The
number for 1905 is 1925, which ex-
ceeds the homicide record, and is an
Increase Of 143 over 1905.
The record of em-bezzlement, for
gerry, defaulting and bank wrecking
shows a large increase over 1905 and
is the largest total since 1894, being
$14,734,S63, as compared with So
613,172 in 1905.
This large increase is principally
due to the footing of bank deposits
by such bankers as Stensland in Chi
cago and Nipple in Philadelphia. The
losses of 1906 are distributed as fol-
lows: Stolen by public officials, ST.
684,554; from banks, $10,T45,3 S7;

JAP CORNERS Potato CROP.
California Paying Tribute to One Of
the Little Yellow Brothers.

Los Angeles. CaI.-The people of
all California are paving tribute to a
shrewd little japanese, Kinya Shima,
Of Stockton.
He cornered the potato market ard
holds the situation in Rand. He will
be virtual dictator of prices until
next season.
He and the Japanese companies he
control stands to sell their crop for
100000, and Shima will himself
clean up $250,000.
This is the explanation of the high
figures paid for potatoes for three
months and why they continue going
higher. Shima, who is a potato
grower, tried last wear to corner the
market, but failed. This year he
controls eighty per cent. of the crop.

Early Cabbage.

II you have it, select a piece OF
mediumly low, we'll drained land. Do
not put on any fertilizer in the fall
or early winter. Plow this land as
thoroughly and as deep as you can,
90 long as you do not turn UP the
subsoif. I usually plow eight to ten
Inches deep, pulverlze thoroughly
with good c1od breaker or harrow.
Be sure that all Jumps are broken
and the soil is fine and soft. Lay of
your rows, east and west, # you can,
thirty inches apart, using q bull
tongue pillow for the purpose. Just
before you order your plants make.
UP your beds by throwing two fur
rows together with a single horse
turn pillow. Then firm the beds by
rolling them with a light roller, such
as you would use in rolling hay land.
''In small gardens use a plank for
hrming them" Remember that no
fertilizer is to be applied until after
the plants are set. When your plants
arrive take the plants from the basket
and dip the roots IN water to moisten
them. Then set your plants on the
south side of the bed, far enough
down the side so that the top of the
bed is above the top Of the plant.
This is done to keep the cold north
and northwest winds from twisting
and breaking the plants while small.
Your plants should be set twenty
inches apart IN the row, and the en-
tire stem of the plant up TO- the first
leaves should be in the soil. Pack
the soil good and tight about. the
roots. The sell should be so firm
that the leaf Of the plant would pull
out before plant would pull out. In
a climate where the Thermometer
Goes not go below eighteen or twenty
you can get best results by setting
your plants in December and Janu-
airy. Where the Thermometer goes
below eighteen it Is best to set them
in February and. March. The object
in setting in cold weather is this:
The top Of the plant is dormant and
will stand severe cold without injury.
The roots are in land, where there is
no fertilizer, and they continue to
grow and spread all winter. About
two weeks before your regular spring
weather opens up take a turn pillow
or half-shovel AMI throw q fu-row
away from the plants N each alter
nate row. Run the furroM as close
to the plants as you can. Then put
in this furroW fertilizer a~nalyZing
eight per cent. ammonia, seven per
cent. phosphoric acid, five per cent.
potash, at the rate of 1000 pounds
to the acre, and then throw the fur
row back, working dirt well up
eSennd the plants.
This working will have worked and
Mertilized one side of each row. About
tn days after the first working, work
=aMa fartilize the other alley in exact
-ly the same way. You will then have
worked both alleys and have put on
1000 pounds of fertilizer to the acre.
From this time on keep both alleys
well cultivated and the soil as open
q possible, using a diamond tooth
harrow and c~ultivator. The roots
Vthst have been growing all winter
WIl now take up the fertilizer veI J
rapidly and make you a crop Of cab
bage two or three weeks earlier than

Tor Curing Meats.

Here Is a recipe for curing such
meats as pork, beef and mutton
which I have used for twenty years
with entire success, principally to
preserve the backs. ribs. heads and
jowls.{ I used to be glad when all
OF these we're used up. cSt not go
since 7 have Nsed~ this:
a RECIPE.
One gallon of wate-I
If pounds of salt,
Agpound sugar,
u ounce saltpeter.
y ounce potash.
Omit the potash unless you can
get the pure article Druggists usu-
ally keep it. I use a little soda
thrown in when boiling, which causes
all impurities to rise to the topEof
: the liquor which should be carefully
skinned of.
In the above ratio the pickle can
be increased to the desired quantity.
BoHgthese together until the impuri.
ties rise to thertop and are skinned
OF. Then pour into vessels to cool
and when thoroughly cool pour il
over your pork. The meat should
be entirely covered with the pickle
and should not be put down for Al
least two days after being killed
during which atime it should BIZ
slightly sprinkled with saltpeter
which remove all the surface blood
leaving the meat fresh and clean.
If this recipe is strictly followed
it will require but a single trial tt
prove its superiority over the com
mon way of keeping meat, and will
not soon be abandoned for any other
The meat is unsurpassed for sweet
ness. deIcacy and freshness of color

Cracked Corn.

This well-known o holds b
highest place, not because of its
value, or that it is best, but from the
fact that it has been used so long
and Is so convenient that to displace
it is not an easy undertaking. 1t
may be standard" in the estimation
of many, but it is not the most suit
able food for adults or chicks at this
season Of the year, as 1t is heating
and fattening. 1t is unnecessary to
go to much expense to feed birds
when there is so much green material
on hand growing luxuriantly, as the
birds will find and secure ore food
than they can consume. OF course,
they may have some cracked corn
given them, but as they will eat be-
tween meals, and no n can prevent
them, 1t is harmful to have O full
supply.
Vegetables, cooked and raw, are
excellent, and there is nothing better
than meat, especially cooked. They
require grit to assist them in digest
ing theI: food, and the grit must not
be neglected. Chicks fed from the
table turn out to be the best all
around birds of any, but this is only
possible with . few chicks, as table
scraps are limited in quantity. A
brood of Iate-hatcned chicks will not
be Objectionable on the table, If they
are kept growing. and they will cost
but little at this season. Cracked
corn is not a summer food, but they
may be used sparingly with other
