Trained Philanthropy.
Not long ago the hospitals were be-
sieged by girls who desired to learn
nursing. Now the pendulum has swung
hack. The graduate nurse is too plenti-
full. the probationer is scarce, accord
incy and the fad is past. Library
work. similarly overcrowded, is similarly
passing through a dull season in conse-
ouence. But a novel field is opening
now 10 the girls who, ten years ago,
would have been studying for library
work or to be trained nurses-a field
more wide and beyond question, more
interesting than either-the great field
Of trained philanthropy.
There was a time when anybody could
be turned loose to visit the poor But
now only really desirable district visit
or is encouraged to do it, and actual re-
suits, either in Improvement of condi-
tons or research work, are expected.
There was a time, also, when a gentle
woman who had seen better days was
encouraged to apply for the position of
mdtron in the nearest charitable institu-
ton. Today matrons and even assistants
are trained in schools of philanthropy
The social specialist has, so to speak.
supplanted the general practitioner. And
as sociology is the study of the day. its
service demands many young. energetic
and trained workers, who must be edu-
Gated along the special lines which they
intend to follow.
Here are several advertisements from
enc column in periodical devoted to
charities: "Wanted-Woman TO teach in
termediate work and take charge of the
CHORUS singing in an institution in the
west One who is a good disciplinarian
needed" Wanted-Woman as a house
director in a Y. w. G. A. home in n
medium-sized city "Wanted-Wo
to demonstrate the value of organized
charity in city of 10000. where the
funds for the support of the society are
already available These advertise
ments do not need to add. Only trained
workers need apply" That is quite evil
dent. even without the emphasis of the
advertisement of the School of Philan-
thropy and its special eight-months-I
courses, III the next column
The new field is not yet filed, and of
fers good opportunity for the women
quick enough to take it. 1t remains to
be seen what its possibilities are.-Har-

things of his trip was his attendance

held west Of the Missouri river. Prac-
tically all Of the northern and west

display. except Colorado which was
conspicuous by its absence.
Mr.. Guyott says the apples were the
finest he ever saw and gave unmis-
taxable evidence of the greatness OF
the northwest as fruit growing SEC

bition. Of the Wolf River variety. that
weighed thirty-three ounces, but It
was not perfectly developed and did
not secure the drst prize for size. The
blue ribbon apple of the show was also

is TURNING TO ANIELEPHANT
Woman Is Stricken With the Strange
Disease Known in Africa
and India,

A Pittsburg, Pa, dispatch says:
Suffering from a rare disease which
physicians all over the country have
been watching for several years
Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Lynch, wife of
David Lynch of State road, McKees-
port, is in a serious condition. Ply
sicians say she can live but a short
time. The WOmans aiIment is eIe-
phantiasis, a disease which is en-
countered in Africa and India, but of
which there are few cases on record
except infrequently in New York
hospitals,
Mrs. Lynch, who is about 60 years
old, was first attacked about ten
years ago. Up to that time her nor
NAL weight was 165 pounds. AS
the disease advanced she begun to
get heavier, until today she weighs
DO pounds. The disease first at
tackled her legs, which grtw to enor-
, nous size. The calf of her left leg
measures eighty-six inches, while the
calf of her right leg measures sixty
| five inches. Within the past two
years the disease attacked other
parts of the body, and recently her
arms have grown to enormous size.
The skin all over Mrs. Lynch's
body is thick and hard and lays in
great folds, as does the hide of an
elephant. In many places the skin
on her legs is half an inch in thick
ness. Physicians from all over the
country have come to watch the prog
ress of the disease.
For several years Mrs. Lynch has
been confined to her bed, her enor-
nous legs being useless. Up until
a few weeks ago her general health
was good and her mind was active
Within the last few weeks. however
she has been declining rapidly. AL
ways devout church member the
congregation of the First Reformed
Church of McKeesport fitted up q
telephone sounding board in the
church, and with a receiver beside
her bed Mrs. Lynch has been able tC
hear the Sunday services.
Physicians are greatly puzzled as
to how Mrs. Lynch contracted the
disease. They believe she was in
!, oculated by an insect.

OATS THE CHEAPEST AND THE BEST STOCK FOOD
some Facts That Should Be of Interest and Value Every
Most Highly Bred Race Horses in America on Oats

easily possible for southern farm
ers to provide their own wants and
also the demands of southern con-
sumption through the ample prOduc-
ton of both grain and meat on the
farms of the south. In this cOnnec-
ton we do not know of any crop
which can be more easily or cheaply
produced on most southern lands
than the Oat crop. We know of no
crop, which as a food for live stock
and especially work stock that is of
higher nutritious value than oats.
The enormous number of high-priced
valuable young mules which are an
nually slaughtered in the south BY
feeding on shelled western corn is
one of the highest incentives for in
duCing a wider and more extended
culture of oats. Oats contain d high
percentage of protein, the mission of
which is to build up tissue, muscle
and bone, and to give strength and
durability to the animal fed on them.
Work animals fed on oats do not
get sick. They do not suffer from
heat in summer as do animals fed
on corn, while at the same time a
maximum amount of labor can be
produced from oat fed animals at
minimum cost for feeding. Add to
this the maintenance of good health
and we have a superior inducement
for oat feeding. The most highly
bred race horses in the world. where
strength and endurance are most re-
quired, are fed on oats that have
been harvested, threshed and stored
for two to three years. Men who
value their horses highly and want
perfect health in limo and body so
as to get the greatest amount of
strength and endurance do not feed
corn at all, especially corn which

The extensive production of cotton
and its use as a basis of credit by
farmers is responsible almost entire
Iy for the limited adoption of diver
sified agriculture in the south If
the soils and climate of the south
were untitled for the profitable pro-
duction of crops other than cotton
there might be pardonable excuse
for the almost total Indifference of
the cotton growers to other import
ant field products aside from that of
cotton. But practical and special
experiment has clearly demonstrated
beyond all question of dispute or ar
gument that the southern states con-
tain a soil and climate more suited
and better fitted for diversified agri-
culture in every department of farm
life than any other large or small
section of the American union, or
OF the whole world for that matter.
For this reason, and for the further
good reason that every southern
farmers prosperity depends upon
diyersification, The Cotton Journal
has so persistently, in season and out,
advocated that system. We have
pleaded with the cotton growers to
raise enough home supplies to meet
family demands and depend upon
their cotton crop for profit on the
investment of labor and capital en-
ployed in the business. We have not
insisted that farmers generally
should enter the field of competition
IN the markets of the world with
the grain producers of the west. |
we do believe, however, that it is
