IN THE NATIONAL CEMETERIES
Representative CLANCY Recently Gave
Figures as to Unknown Dead.

The army of the unknown dead
buried in the cemeteries of the United
States government is an enormous
one. In a speech on the pension APP
preparation bill Representative CLANCY
of Indiana submitted figures prepared
by the quarternlaster general show
ing that there are 152,103 unknown
soldiers and sailors whose remains are
inferred in the national cemeteries.
The total number of buried dead in
these cemeteries is 353,3S5. The
known number 1882. The govern
ment maintains no less than SO ma
tional cemeteries. 1t is not generally
known that one of these is outside Of
the United States. being located at
Mexico City. Over 1900 soldiers o.!

them unknown.
the largest of the national: GENE

FINALLY PAID FOR SIDING.
Ludicrous Features in Claim Against
Government.

OF course, only part, very likely a
small part, of the claims entered
against the government have justice
as basis. In order to find out the
truth of things the government oc.
casionally is obliged to spend many
times the amount of money involved.
One of the most curious claim cases
over known to congress was that Of
Sonora Feliciana Mendoza, who lived
at Angeles, Palmpanga, Philippine Is.
lands. The segpra rented house to
Uncle Sam for the use of some of his
teamsters. When the mule-driving
contingent moved out of the house
after short occupancy the sonora
declared under oath that some of the
siding boards were missing from the
kitchen WALL and she asked for 5000
in gold to repay her for the damage
to her property.
This case of Sonora Feliciana Men

resentatives document. 1t contains
long letter from the secretary of war
on the question of the value of kitch.
en- sidings, another letter from the
quartermaster-g general of the United
States and IS communications from
army officers and civilians of various
ranks and conditions
A board of officers was convened to
pass on the validity of the senora's
claim. The board was in session for
days, many of it's members coming
from long distance to attend. One
teamster, William Langworthy by
name, swore that the senora's kitch.
en- sidings were chewed up and eaten
by red ants. Teamster Summerville
swore that in his opinion the boards
dropped out of place by their own
weight. Teamster Pickle said: Them
boards was punk"
The army board which sat on the
case thought it was very doubtful in
strict justice if Sonora Feliciana
should be allowed any money, but fl
nally the members granted her the
sum of $50 in gold. This action, OF
course, was not final, but the commit
tees on war claims in house and sen.
ate approved the finding
The sonora received $50, and doubt
less it gave her some satisfaction to
know that Uncle Sam had spent about
$1,000 to get authority to pay for a
kitchen siding which went to destruc.
ton either by way of a Transfers
foot or red ants stomach.

MOCK ORANGE BUSH

The mock orange of Philadelphus
is popularity known as "syringa," and
the latter is the botanical name for
lilac. The mock orange family COM
prises about 80 species of hardy, orna-
mental shrubs varying in height from
5 to 20 feet, many of them admirably
adapted for the decoration of home
grounds.
Perhaps the most widely-grown va
riety of those known to the old-time
gardener as ''syringas" is Philadelphus
grandiflorus, which grows about six
feet high and has large white sweet
scented flowers which appear in June.
Common mock orange (P. Coronarius)
reaches about ten feet in height and
blooms in May or June and is very
fragrant. The flowers are pure white

eased COWS to give a good tuberculin
reaction (thus showing they were suf-
fering with active infections) before
they were six months old. This is
believed to be one Of the very impor.
tant ways by which the disease is dis.
seminated in breeding herds.
tuberculosis is often found in swine
fed upon milk from infected COWS. In
1908 the writer knew of carload of
hogs that had been purchased in
district where there were many
tuberculous cows, and of which the
first SO Of them that were slaughtered
were all tuberculous. The remainder
We're not killed at that time. While
such a condition may be considered
an exception, it is fact that many
swine are infected, especially when
they are fed tuberculous milk. The
increase of tuberculosis in hogs is
shown by the fact that in 1900, of 49,.
336,8S4 hogs that were inspected by
the federal government, $40 were af-
fected sufficiently to cause con.
demnation of some one or more parts
VI SAC Co1CeaSos III 1SV0, VI 5000 100
hogs inspected post-mortem 64,919
carcasses and 142,105 parts of car
casses were condemned for tubercu-
losis.
1t should be remembered that the
greater the percentage of tuberculous
COWS in the herd, and the further ad.
vanced the disease in the cattle, the
greater the danger of infection from
the use of the milk. In cases where
the disease is restricted to small
nodules in the Emphatic glands, or
perhaps in the lungs, the danger of
tubercle bacilli being in the milk is
very slight, but when the udder is
tuberculous they are constantly pres.
ent in the milk and often in very large
numbers. When calves or pigs are
fed with milk of this kind they are al
most sure to be infected. The same
result may follow when it is fed to
children or adults.
Practically the only way tuberculosis
gets into herd of healthy cattle is by
the introduction of tuberculosis ami

pened that farmers who have perfect
ly healthy animals buy rice looking
COW that is tuberculous, although the
disease was not at all in evidence, and
sooner or later this animal infects a
very large number of individuals in
the herd into which it is brought.
The buying of infected animals and
the feeding of calves with infected
milk are largely responsible for the
spread of tuberculosis in cattle.
The history of tuberculosis in cat,
tie shows that when it is once intro
duced into previously unaffected
district its tendency is to spread from
farm to farm with a rapidity which
depends upon the activity of the cattle
traffic. If the interchange of animals
between herds is frequent the disease
usually spreads rapidly. If, on the
contrary, there is but little inter-
change of animals, tuberculosis
spreads slowly in newly-infected
community. This observation relates
to the spread among herds; other con-
ditions govern the spread of tubercu-
!osis in the herd after infected animals
are added. The latter factor is con-
trolled by the degree of contact be.
tween the diseased animals and their
associates, and the sanitary and other
conditions to which the herd is sub
jected. The increase in the cattle traf-
fic is one reason why there is more
danger of spreading tuberculosis now
than there was generation ago.

the same species. The royal commits
sion on tuberculosis, appointed by the
king of England in 1901, has made
interim reports in which it states that
it has been unable to find any differ
ence in the disease-producing power of
the bacilli from certain human and
from bovine sources. Other investiga-
lions tend to show that the bovine va
riety of tubercle bacteria is not found
in very large number of tuberculosis
people.
This bacillus seems to be able to live
for some time in dark and damp
places. It is readily killed with a five
per cent. solution of carbolic acid, or
a one to 1000 solution of corrosive
sublimate. Sunlight and drying are
not favorable for it's existence out
side of the body.
The tubercle bacilli escape from the
diseased animal in the saliva and
mucus from the mouth when the lungs
or certain glands are discharging into
the respiratory tract. It has recently
been shown that tubercle bacilli es-
cape in large numbers with the in
testinal discharges from many tuber-
culous cattle. They escape in the pus
from tubercular assesses that open
through the skin, and in the milk. 1t
has been shown from all the examina-
tons that have been reported of milk
from tuberculous cows, that about Is
per cent. of them give off tubercle
bacilli with their milk at some time
during the course of the disease. The
udders show tuberculosis in about two
per cent of the cases.

roots are the toughest found any,
where.
During August and September it is
usually uppermost in thin, old pas
lures, meadows and lawns, but stops
suddenly with the first hard frost of
autumn, leaving vacancies to be filled
the next spring by another crop of
crab grass, or some other kinds of
weeds.
This plant resembles Bermuda grass
In some respects, but crab grass is an
annual, and Bermuda perennial with
very stout, creeping and underground
stems.
There is another grass becoming
very common in thin lawns and mead
ows, known as small crab grass Pan
icum linearie, having much the habit
of the weed above mentioned. Note
now two differences: The first takes
root at several joints and has very
tough roots; the second has no roots
from the joints. Stems of the first
are more or less erect; stems of the
second are PROSTATE, spreading about
equally In all points of the compass.
In other respects they are much alike.
The constant use of the hoe is about
the only practical remedy. Being an
annual, it can be destroyed by pre-
venting it from going to seed for
few years.
