HAWICK LETTER
Mrs. c. R. Clough Dead. Tele-
phone and Creamery Meet
Jugs. Other News.

Hawick, Jan. 13.-Word was re-
ceived here last week that Mrs.
Clough, an old resident C. R. of
Roseville until three years ago,
had died at the home of her son
Fred in North Dakota on January
3, the cause being hemorrhage of
the brain. She has many friends
here, who mourn her loss and SYM
pathize with the husband and son.
She was buried in Minneapolis.
Nothing was done at the tele-
phone meeting at Paynesville Fri
day except appointing committee
to meet again next Friday. Every
one seems to be in favor of farm
ers' central or nothing since the old
contract was broken.
At the creamery meeting Satur-
day the Hawick people tried to get
churn at the Hawick skimming
station, but were not strong
enough. The Koronis skimming
station is closed for good and the
building is to be moved to the Ha-
wick skimming station.
No need of going south this year,
as our weather is fine enough for
anyone this winter.
Dick Batterberry is putting in a

QUAR- AlQ'TI!lVE
OF SMALLPOX
State Board Of Health Discusses
New Rules for Suppressinq
this LOathSOme Evil.
St. Paul, Jan. End, 1908.
r. J. M. Rains, Willmar. MINI.

Df. j. NJ. Rams, Wlllmar, MINI.
My Dear Doctor:-The impress
sion seems to have gone abroad that
the State Board Of Health is aband-
oning all restraint of smallpox.
This is not true. The last sentence
in the new regulations No. II reads
as follows: ''The patient must not
leave the house until after the re-
moval of the warning card
The two important changes in the
methods of dealing with smallpox
are:
Q) No quarantine restrictions
on WELL people living in a pla-
carded house. The quarantine of
the we'll but exposed individuals
has proven an unnecessary and un-
warrantable hardship. The old
quarantine methods have been a
source of great expense to both
municipalities and individuals.
| (2) No fixed detention period
/ for smallpox cases. With mild
smallpox it is not practical to have
a fixed length of time for quaran7
tine mot less than four weeks un-
der the old regulations). The new
regulations place the responsibility
for the time of release upon the at
tending physician. (See Reg. y
The time of restraint will be short
or long according to conditions in
each case.
With the history of smallpox as
it has prevailed in Minnesota dur
ing the past nine years, the Board
should have the support Of the en-
tire state in these two changes.
We have an illustration in our own
state Of the ineffectiveness of quar-
antine as means of controlling
smallpox, for during the past nine
years there have been at least 0,00O
cases of this disease in spite of the
rigid quarantine demanded by the
old regulations. The new regula-
tions should relieve both officials
and individuals of much needless
expense and annoyance that were
unavoidable under the old regula-
tiOns.
The regulations still require care
fu| disinfection of the premises.
An argument in favor of the
new regulations is given in the en-
closed article.
Please secure publication for this,
the new regulations. and comments
thereon, if possible, in your local
papers. Very truly,
H. M. Bracken,
Secretary and Executive Officer.
The enclosed article referred to
in the above letter is a paper by
Secretary Bracken on "The Control
of Smallpox. The following ex-
tracts show the purpose Of the new
regulations:
! Undoubtedly, the true way to
bring about the suppression of
smallpox is thru compulsory vacci-
nation. The responsibility for the
passage of compulsory vaccination
laws rests with the people and their
Legislators, not with the medical
profession or sanitarians. These
latter should teach the doctrine of
self-protection, but with this their
responsibility ceases, for they are
not lawmakers.
"ln conjunction with the aboli-
tion of rigid quarantine as a means
of controlling smallpox, state and
municipalities should provide free
vaccine of unquestionable quality
and in addition free vaccination
carried out by competent public
vaccinators.'

YOU CAN HAVE GOOD ROADS.
Black Loan Soil Not q Bar to Hard
Roads, says n. n. Gross.

II is often urged that hard roads
in the corn belt of the Mississippi val
ley are impractlcable, first. for the
reason that stone OF gravel roads can
not be built on the heavy black loan
soil of that section, and, second, be-
cause there is no road material at
hand for this purpose.
The fact is there are no difficulties
there that cannot he overcome. Only
one precaution is necessary, and that
is thorough drainage. See that the
road is thoroughly drained. which may
be done either by side-ditching or by
thing sub-surface drains, and the task
will be an easy one. The layer OF
road material serves as q roof over
tho road to keep 1t dry.
As to road material, though there
are no deposits Of stone or gravel In
the corn belt, the land in that section
is exceedingly fertile and produces
large revenues, and its owners are
better able to pay road taxes than the
farmers In other parts where the road
material Is at hand and the soil less
fertile. Furthermore, the railroads
are interested in the betterment Of the
highways and will carry road mate
rial southwark into the corn belt al
the cost OF the service or less. The
southern part Of the state furnishes
the northern part with coal-the GOA
cars 60 back empty-why not fill them
with stone or gravel?
The farmers Of the corn belt have
still another advantage when It comes
to building hard roads. The land
is comparatively level. SO no heavy
grading is necessary. 1t Is true that
hard roads can be built in the corr
belt with material shipped in for hall
the cost of roads in Massachusetts,
where stone abounds, the difference
being that in Massachusetts the hills
must be cp: down. the hollows filed
and the streams bridged.-H. H. Gross
