will find that he eats meat three times
a day. most of them. And what Is
more, they are not content with any
kind. He wants the best cuts. He
can afford them. AS a result, the
price of meat is away up. While
farmers are producing more beef
every year, they are not producing
enough to meet the increase in popu-
lation. don't look for prices to de-
crease materially soon."
The secretary said. 1.-The farmer is

divorce by her husband. James J.
Brennan. Mrs. Brennan is the woman
who had sensational trial in Min
neapolis in December, 1905. for kill

SAND. .GUMBO ROAD
Mississippi County, Mo-, Tries q New
Natural Paving.

Columbia, Mo-, Sept. IA mile Of
sand-gumbo road, the first in Missou-
RI. has just been built in Mississippi
county. It Is one mile long and ex-
tends north of Charleston. The road
was built as an experiment by Curtis
Hill. state highway engineer.
Sand-clay roads have heen In use
several years in the state Of Mississip-
pf and other places where they have
proven successful. The road at
Charleston was a sand bottom IN
which wagon wheels often went to
the hub. The first work was to clean
out the bitches so that 1t could be
properly drained. Then a trough,
sixteen feet wide was made. Gumbo
was hauled and placed in this trough
and mixed with the sand.
The mixing was done by plows. disc
harrows and toothed harrows. A
sprinkler was used to get the gumbo
wet. All was mixed together and then
the road was rolled. In time this mix
ture hardened so that it became c.
mented together in such a manner as
to turn water.
II am trying to build roads out Of
the materials at hand with the small
est expense possible said Mr.. Hill
today. There are six counties in
southeast Missouri, known as the low
lands, where there is no rock to con-
struct roads. They have plenty of
sand and gumbo. This is what we
have tried down at Charleston
The Gumb0 Road inexpensive.
These roads are not expensive. It
cost less than $1,000 to build the mile
down in Mississippi county," said
Mr.. Hill. "The money was raised by
donations solicited by ]. Russell Ellis.
the county highway engineer. j. e.
Warner. the engineer Of Scott county,
saw the work done. and he is now
raising money for road in his coun-
ty which touches Mississippi county
on the north.''

TUBERCULOSIS.
AMONG NEGROES
Efforts to Encourage organi-
cation for Sanitary and
Cleaner Living

Washington, Sept. 17.-Efforts to
reduct mortality from tuberculosis
among the negroes by forming work.
ing leagues in colored churches
throughout the country are being pur-
sued by the public health and marine
hospital service of the government.
The organization of such league
was announced by the service last
May and it has reached that point in
progress where supplementary sug-
gesttons as to organizations and ad-
mintstration can be made. G.. p.
Wertenbaker, surgeon of the service,
In the latest report on public health,
has contributed an outline of what
this organization should be-
The vulnerability of the negro to
tuberculosis was established long ago
through mortality statistics collected
by the government. The fact that the
disease is seemingly more destructive
ascrtbed. however, to any inherent or
constitutional weakness, but to the
conditions under which the negro
lives. DR.. Wertenbaker thus sets forth
this condition:
Probably one Of the most import
ant factors in the spread Of tubercu-
losis, aside from his habits, is the
manner in which the negro is housed.
The negro as q rule is renter. The
houses that he can rent are usually
in the poorest and most unhealthy
part Of the city. They are often poor
ly constructed. badly lighted and VEN
tilated and frequently in bad repair.
The rooms are usually small and
dark. having but one window, and the
top sash is seldom arranged to be
lowered. Many houses are built on
poorly drained ground and water
stands under them after each rain,
making the rooms damp and cold"
State Leagues Recommended. i
It 10 suggested that leaders Of the
race. In the various states organize
leagues. adopt constitutions and ap-
point committees to select . wee
president for each county In every
state. The latter omcials are expect
ed to appoint representatives In each
community to help them organise
leagues in the local churches and TO
arouse interest in the work.

Peary
PEARY'S STORY 50 FAR GIVEN
LESS CONVINCING THAN COOKS
Peary Is Wrong on His Observation
Of the Pole Temperature and Time
He Remained Not Sufficient For
Proper Observations.

Dresden, Sept. 17-Raoul Olivier, a
member of the executive committee
Of the Belgian Antarctic expedition
Of 1897. expressed the opinion today
that the Belgian scientists generally
had full confidence in DR.. Frederick
A. Cook, who Olivier says has won
the esteem and admiration of the
Belgian committee and the Belgian
Antarctic expedition Of which DR..
Cook was member. DR.. Cooks quiet
and unassuming demeanor, his integ-
rity and his determination were spe-
cially mentioned by Olivier. If oblig-
ed to Judge between the narratives
Of Dr. Cook and Commander Peary
Olivier said, II would place greater
reliance on the former" Continuing
Olivier said he was astonished at the
similarity between the two stories. DR.
Cooks statement regarding the tenn
perature at the pole was confirmed
by previous observations. Peary'e
estimate was too low. @
Olivier said frankly that he disbe-
lieved Peary's statement that he had
travelled twenty-five miles day and
he thinks the confession that Peary
took one man to the pole with him
because Of his wishing to have the
honor Of discovering the pole all
to himself, supplies. the .clew fol
Peary's attack on DIR. Cook. The thir.
ty-four hours Peary spent at the
Pole were insufficient to take copious
observations. Olivier, who was plain.
" much incensed at Commander
Peary. said 1t would require more than
abuse Of DR.. Cook to win credit fol
Pearys story in Europe, Olivier de
tciared that Prof. oberhumnaer. with
who mhe had talked, did not raiec,
DR.. Cooks recital, but was merely
awaiting Cooks evidence. The pro.
fessor had read a part Of Pearyts mar.
artive and found it less convincing
than DR.. Cooks.

Has Now Received Highest Heners
For His Achievements In Rapid Ts-
iesraphy.
Many Of the prominent men Of the
time began their careers in the COM
parativeiy humble calling Of the tele-
graph operator" says Leslie's Weekly.
Zone Of the most successful Of these IS
Patrick Bernard Delany of New York,
whose inventions in improving teleg.
raphy have attracted worldwide atten-
ton. Born in Ireland, Mr. Delany was
brought to this country when lad, be-
came an excellent telegraph operator at
the age of sixteen and at eighteen was
one Of the most expert press operators
in the land. Afterward he rose to high
positions in various telegraph compa-
MES and later was associated with
Mr.. Edison In rapid telegraphy exper-
iments and began his work as an in
ventor. He devised the famous anti
Page relay for which he received a
considerable sum, and invented the
anti-induction cable, the patents of
which netted him over 100000.
Turning his attention to synchro-
nous multlplex telegraphy, he perfect
ed a system whereby six Morse cir
cults were obtained from a single
wire and was awarded for it the
highest prize at the International In
ventions exhibition in London in 1885.
Mr.. Delany twenty-one years ago
equipped a laboratory at South Or
ange, N. j., and devoted his time to
automatic rapid telegraphy, IN which
he has had great success, his appara-
tus transmitting a thousand words a
minute over a single wire. This is re-
garded by experts as one of the greatest
achievements in the telegraphic line"

DEMANDS FIRM POLICY

Plea For the Protection of American
Interests South of the Caribbean.
"If the new temple of peace the
$750,000 building for the international
bureau of American republics, of which
the cornerstone was laid in April. is
not to be%a memorial to the ruin of
United States interests in a number Of
these republics, our government must
establish a reputation for firmness
when these interests are attacked"
says a writer in the Pan-American.
with the completion Of the isthmian
canal these interests, which are al
ready estimated at a valuation Of
s., 900 600, 900, win be largely increased.
A policy as Just as it is unyielding
when necessity requires will mean the
salvation of existing Investments and
the protection Of the investor Of the
future.
'The fact that a definite remedy is
required was impressed anew upon the
United States by the unsuccessful eff
fort on the part Of the state depart
ment to secure arbitration Of FIVE long
pending American claims against Ven
ezuela
'SThe merits of these particular cases
Is not, however. the question Of imme-
diate importance This question is,
What effect must be expected from a
policy which involves the abandon
ment Of citizens whose wrongs have
been declared to the world? II redress
is not to be exacted for these wrongs,
what fate can other despoiied Ameri-
can citizens expect in Central and
South America when menaced by I'm
scrupulOus governments?
THE definite remedy demanded In
wolves no more than the assertion Of n
policy of insisting upon prompt and
thorough redress Of injuries. 1t would
not be difficult for the United States to
establish such a reputation for protect
ing the interests of its citizens In
South America that these interests
would rarely be attacked. All the
precedents go to show, especially in
the case Of Venezuela, that the most
impudent. eontumacious and beIliger-
ent Of South American potentates will
become tractable upon the mere threat
Of force"
