from one infected person to a whole

1870 in Plymouth, Pa. A man who
had contracted typhoid fever In phlla-
delphla was nursed during the winter
In house near a mountain brook
which flowed into river from which
Plymouth derived It's water supply.
The refuse from the slckroom was
thrown on the snow near the house
without being disinfected. As cold
weather does not kill disease germs
the typhoid germs were washed in the
spring by the melting of the snow into

and as a consequence more than 1000
cases Of typhoid fever and about 100
deaths from this disease occurred In
Plymouth, these cases being all con

PROTECTING SHADE TREES.
Work of Commissions Appointed For
That Purpose.


The cities In New Jersey and Penn.
tylvania are by statute now enabled to
appoint shade tree commissions to take
care of the shade trees on their streets.
| They can set out new trees and assess
the cost on the property benefited.
They trim trees, protect them from in
jury, clean out decnyed trunks and fill
the holes with cement and wage war
against the insect pests. Municipal
Engineering describes the methods of
work of the shade tree commission Of
East Orange, N. j.. and shows what
can be done.
In the trimming OF trees great care
Is taken TO cut Off all limbs close to
and even with the trunk. All scars are
painted with coat Of thick coal tar
All trees on a street are pruned to a
uniform height and as far as possible
that height Is made ten feet. 10 clear
all street lights.
The campaign against the insects in
Testing shade trees forms one Of the
chief tasks OF the commission. The
control OF the injurious insects not
only preserves the foliage OF the trees
for the season, but maintains their
health and vitality. What can be done
by persistent work In this line IL
shown by the results with the woolly
maple scale pseudococcus acerisI.
which attacks the sugar maple. Other
pests are the iussock moths, attacking
the American elm and linden, the
white maple and the horse chestnut;
the cotton maple scale, attacking the
white maple; the elm leaf beetle. the
spring elm caterpillar. the bagworm
and the fall webworm. The idea con
stantly borne in mind Is 10 destroy the
Insects In as early a stage as possible,
to minimize both the amount OF work
required In treatment and the injury
done TO the trees.

How TO Clean Walls.

Burlaped or papered walls may be
brushed with new broom covered
with hood OF cheesecloth, which
must be removed and shaken when
dusty. Breadcrumbs and pencil era
ser will remove many ugly marks from
wall paper. Magnesia often removes
grease marks. A weak solution OF
borax and water will remove the
greasy black stains that mar delicate
wood or paints. Use Kerosene In the
water when wiping vanished wood.

nlture polish you use, always rub of
every particle Of grease with dry cloths
or 1t will accumulate dust, and the
dust is more difficult to remove than

Mathieson says he has used his rope

The excellent financial condition Of
the people of South Dakota was aptly
shown by the fact that the delinquent
tax lists printed this fall in the news
papers OF the various counties Of the
state were the smallest for years, II
not the smallest in the history OF the
state.
But further evidence, particularly
upon the financial condition OF the
farmers Of that portion Of South Da-
kota lying east of the Missouri river.
Is given by the record Of farm loans In
the region indicated. A single loan
agency OF Sioux Falls has at the pres
ent time about $2,000,0oO loaned in
that part Of the state lying east of the
river. The $4,000, GOO represents loans
to about 1000 farmers scattered in all
portions OF Eastern South Dakota.
Upon this vast sum all the interest
has been paid but about $500. and this
will be adjusted within the next few
days, or in a week or two at the most.

ENJoINS SOUTH DAKOTA.
Judge Garland Grants Writ Sought by
Railroads.

Railroads.
AS the result Of a hearing before
him Judge Garland of the United
States court in Sioux Falls, an appli-
cation of the various railroads con-
-cerned, granted a temporary injunc.
tion preventing the railroad commits
sioners from putting into effect a pro-
posed schedule of new passenger
rates, which would reduce the present
rate In South Dakota from 3 cents to
21-2 cents per mile.
The temporary injunction succeeds
a restraining order which was secured
by the railroads last October, just
prior to the time the railroad COM
missioners sought to put the proposed
new rate into effect. The temporary
injunction will remain in force until
the hearing on the main case, when
the railroads will strive to have the
temporary injunction made perma-
nent. The date for this hearing has
not yet been fixed.
Judge Garland sustained demurrers
to the action of the railroad companies
in making S. w. Clark, attorney gen.
eral of South Dakota, and William H.
Stanley, secretary of the board of rail-
road commissioners, defendants in the
case, and therefore they no longer will
appear in the case.

A meeting Of the state public lands
commission will be held In Pierre,
and will act for the first time under
the provisions Of chapter 226 of the
laws Of last winter, which makes the
annual offering of a portion of the
state school lands compulsory upon
the state land department. This stat
ute requires that, beginning with 1908,
the commission shall, before the 1st
of February of each year, select az
nearly as possible so 900 acres of the
state public school lands, to be Of
fered annually until one-forrth Of the
school lands of the state shall have
been disposed of. In many of tho
years gone by the Office of the land
commissioners would have numerous
requests filed before this time for the
offering of lands in different coun-
ties. but up to the present there is
10 demand.
