HYGIENE IN BARBER SHOPS
Stringent Municipal Government
Regulations In Germany Are
Rigidly Enforced.

The following report comes
from Consul General Guenther OF
Frankfort, Germany.
"In late years the hygienic re-
quirements with reference to bar
bers' shops have been greatly in
creased, and it seems that they
are constantly becoming more Sc
we're. So far the authorities had
restricted the regulations to the
utensils, but lately the personal
cleanliness of the barber has
also been made the subject of mu.
nicipal legislation in Germany.
Recently the following rules have
been established by the munich
pal government of a large German
city:
"The cutoff hair must at once be
removed; the floor of the shop
must be washed at least twice per
week; cold and hot running water
must be supplied, and the barber
must wash his hands with warm
water before attending to GUS
toner. No eretonne or carpets
are permitted in BARRIERS shops.
The headrests must be covered
for each customer with a fresh
napkin Of paper or linen. The en-
ployes must wear clean, long up
per garments of light color with
out pockets. The soap used must
be in the form of powder or small
tablets.
"The lather from razors must
be renewed by means of paper.
Instead of sponges, pieces of
wooden cloth or napkins have to be
used. Alum or magnesia can only
be used kept in a powder box. The
bowls and shaving brushes must
be cleaned each time after having
been used. Nobody is allowed to
be shaved suffering from a visible
skin disease, unless the proprietor
of the BARRIERS shop is convinced
that it is not contagious. Spon.
ges, powder puffs, magnesia, and
styptics in Jumps and revolving
brushes are prohibited. Scissors,
brushes and combs, as we'll as the
hair-cutting machines and razors,
must be cleaned with ammonia or
soda and an antiseptic solution.
AS antispetics, cylline, izal, and
chinosol are recommended"

Mexicans to Gather Cotton.

Already the annual migration Of
Mexicans across the Texas border to
help gather the cotton crop has begun.
During this season many people from
the towns will go into the fields. It re-

In the Sewing Room,

When making buttonholes IN mate
rial always choose thread 20 num-
bers coarser than that which you
would naturally use in that material.
For instance, If you are sewing a piece
of material with No. 80 cotton. you can
work the buttonholes with No. co.
To prevent the thread from knotting
when doing hand sewing always make
q knot in the end last broken from the
spool. This done, stretch the thread
BY taking the ends and giving sew
eral quick pulls.

When they found that the SHIP would
be located 40 miles inland from the
coast they rubbed their eyes and be-

\ AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
xuoueaueuoue1uouuuuueuuluouou
The Agricultural College or Ex-
pertinent Station Farm, consists Of
$40 acres of land just northwest Of
the city Of Fargo. On this section
Of land are located all the build
ings. the gardens, the experiment.
al plots-everything connected
with the college and station.
About half the farm is given over
to the uses of the college and Ex-
pertinent Station, the remaining
half is run on the same basis as
well-to-do farmer would handle his
land. From this part we try to
get the best possible average re-
turns. The part given over to ex-
perimental purposes costs heavily
for running expenses, because the
plots are small, and many Of the
EXPERIMENTS, while necessary, and
in the end of large value to the
state, bring in no immediate ade-
quate returns for the time and
labor spent upon them. The farm
has little or no advantage over the
average Valley farm as to location
or drainage. The ground is low,
and the drainage poor. 1t follows
that nearly all the problems that
face the farmer face the men hand
ling the Experiment Farm.
Directly connected in bushes
way with this farm are the five
substations, and twenty expert
mental farms scattered over the
state. Between these twenty six
farms, every climate condition and
variety of soil is covered. Clover,
timothy, bronze, alfalfa, corn for
ensilage, and all the small grain
crops are grown.
| The farm aims to supply it's own
roughage, but buys largely of mill
feed and grain. Twenty work
horses, seventy-five cattle, 100 hogs,

Animal tuberculosis.

The reports of the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry of the United States in
dictate that tuberculosis among live
stock is steadily increasing, as shown
by the number of animals found affec-
ted at the various slaughtering cen
tiers. The increase in the number of
cases found is due in part, but only
in part, to the increased efficiency of
the method of inspection. The meat
inspection figures show that nearly
l per cent of cattle and over 2 per
cent of hogs slaughtered are tubercu-
lous, which the Bureau regards as an
alarming condition.
Feeding experiments conducted by
the Bureau have proved conclusively
that hogs are readily infected through
ingestion of products from tubercu-
lous COWS. There is, therefore, no
doubt, that the prevalence of the dis
ease in hogs could be greatly reduced
simply by eradicating it from cattle
When the practice becomes general
for all buyers of breeding cattle TO
have animals tested before placing
them in their herds, the breeder of
strictly healthy cattle will be much
sought after, in the opinion of the
Bureau. 1t says that already some
breeders of pure-bred cattle have es-
tablished or are arranging to establish
such herds AS soon as the breeders
fully understand the fact that 1t is un-
profitable to go on breeding cattle
while tuberculosis exists in their
herds much of the objection raised
against the sale of live stock subject
to inspection will disappear, for it
would be worth the price of several
condemned animals for the owner of
a valuable herd to know the fact as
early as possible if the disease exists
in his herd as the longer he delays in
taking steps to prevent it's spread the
greater will be his loss eventually

vermont's Highways.

Vermont also is out for good roads
as a means OF drawing business to
various parts of the state. Most pla-
ces have learned the lesson others
seemingly never will."-Brockton En-
terprise.
This would be more encouraging II
there were more substantial basis for
the contemporaries well meant obser-
walton. That there has been ma
terial gain in the quantity of good
road laid In Vermont during the past
few years is true That there has
been a very considerable quickening
of the executive machinery through
some improvements in the law is also
true. And, of course, the cause back
of all this is a more enlightened pub
lie sentiment that is gradually learn
ing sentiment to appreciate the econ
omic importance of this highway prob
lem.
But when this is said, it must be
confessed that we are still far rom
exhibiting that awakening to the ne
cessities of the situation here that
must come before Vermont can fairly
be held to be one the broad highway
to progress in this direction and build
ing the highway herself as she goes
along. There is much reason for en-
enlargement, there is good ground for
hope of better things, but the popu-
lar mind does not yet respond to the
idea that the matter is urgent, that
the people of the state are wasting
nobody can estimate how many thous-
ands of dollars annually through the
expense of additional horse-keep and
incidentals necessary to do business
over our roads in the condition they
are in today, and that tourist and
other travel is hindered and in part
kept out of the state for the same rea-
son to our financial loss as well.
Along with all this, moreover, runs
the inestimable retarding of the soc
ial growth and development of the
people of the state as whole be-
cause of the poor means of communi-
cation between the towns.
The theory upon which our high
way law is based, in the opinion of
the Messenger, is fundamentally
wrong. 1t is not correct in theory,
and it is certainly disastrous in prac-
tice, to ordain that each separate
town shall be obliged to build and
maintain the highways that run
through it and that 246 different local
authorities and 246 varying degrees
of financial resource shall be charged
with the highways of the state.
The roads belong to all the people
that use them, not to the mere politi-
cal divisions known as townships in
which they lie. The essence of this
property right lies not in possession
but In use.-St. Adams Messenger.

In less serious skin affections, such

after an overnight application, only a
small quantity being required to eff

for these minor skin troubles can now
avail themselves of the special 80

meet such needs. Both the 50-cent

venge for the acts of the Northern
raiders in the South. The Canadian
government settled in gold for the
damage done. The United States gov
eminent soon declared the war at an
