To Prevent Consumption.

Over $500, 900 of the 1900, 900 school
children enrolled in the United States
have during the school year just closed
been systematically instructed concern
ing the dangers of consumption and the
methods for its cure and prevention, ac-
cording to statement issued today by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Besides the 2,500,000 children thus
regularly instructed in their schools the
National association estimates that fully
100000 more have received instruction
at the various tuberculosis exhibits held
in all parts of the country or in separate
classes and organizations.
A number of investigations conducted
in various parts of the world show that
a large percentage of the children in the
public schools have tuberculosis before
they are Is. That a larger number Of
them do not die is due to the fact that
healthy children are able to resist the
attack ofthe consumption germ. On ac-
count of the prevalence of the disease
among children the National association
considers their education to be of prime
Importance.
In Boston special commission which
recently investigated the subject found
that over 5000 school children in that
city alone had positive cases of tubercu-
losis. In New York recent study
showed over 5000 tuberculosis children
in the schools. On the basis of these and
other investigations it is estimated by
certain authorities that there are nearly
100000 school children in the United
States today who will probably die oi
tuberculosis before they have reached
the age of Is. This would mean that
the public schools of the country are
paying annually about 81 800 900 for the
education of children who will die be-
fore they reach the age of IS. At least
one-half of the sickness, and possibly
three-fourtbs oft could be prevented /

inyest wisely, their money in South
Dakota lands where they mag reason
ably expect to double, triple, and even
quadruple it, within the next few years.
The rapidity with which this coun.
try is settling up, is not generally real
lied. At present, leaving the large
cities out of the question, Stanley county
is the most thickly settled of any county
within the state, ard travelling west
from Pierre, and away from the rail
road, for some distance, you win find a
family on every quarter section. This
is partly accounted for by the fact that
when the early settlers first came to the
eastern part of this state, they were en-
abled to obtain 4S0 acres of land from
the government; 100 acres by home
stead filing; 100 through presumption,
and 100 as a tree claim. Hence each
man succeeded in accumulating large
tract of land. Now the settlers who are
coming into the western part must,
generally content themselves with the
100 which they can homestead; and con-
sequently, each quarter section draws
and additional settler.
The western part of the state is in no
way inferior to that east of the river.
and in many ways it is superior. The
soil is equally rich, equally we'll water
ed, while in addition to these features,
are the advantages coming from finer
climate, nearness to abundant coal
deposits, and a fresh, virgin territory.
The excellent railroad facilities of the
east will be equalled if not excelled in
this part of the state. Railroads coming
from all directions will put the farmer
and stock raiser into quick communica-
ton with the best markets and the
manner in which the new towns are
growing shows that the home markets
themselves will soon make great de-
mands upon The producer. The new
science of dry farming will prevent
even an acre of this land being useless,
while in many districts, the prospects Of
, irrigation are already enhancing the
I value of the soil.
People are quick to realize that such
opportunities as western South Dakots
now affords are rapidly decreasing in
the United States, and the train loads
of settlers who arrive daily in this won
derfully rich and growing country tes
tify to the wide and growing interest il
the advantages and opportunities offered
to the man who really wants to farm

that is because you never inquire for it

HeIlographs TO be Used on National
Forests.

Experiments will be made during the
summer with the standard heliographs
which are now used in the war depart
ment, for signalins on the National
Forests. One of these xperiments will
be on the Kaniksu National Forest, in
Idaho, and the other on the Stanislaus
Forest in California.
1t is intended to discover whether
these instruments will be of use on Ma
tional Forests to report fires or transmit
other messages in areas where there is
no quick method of communication.
The conditions of climate and lati-
tude, as well as the species of infiam.
able trees in the two forests are suffici-
emily different to determine whether
the instrument is suited to some locali-
ties and not to Others.
Easy and quick communication TO all
parts of forest must be had if fire is to
be kept down. Anyone who knows of
the fearful damage wrought by forest
fires on private and unprotected lands
each year, will easily see that through
fire patrol, use of telephone lines and
other means of communication such as
is maintained on the 1876 million acres
contained in the National Forests, the
losses can be reduced to a minimum.
For the administration and protection
of the l48 National Forests in nineteen
states and territories and Alaska, the
government spent $2,526, ,09S02, or
about one and one-half cents an acre for
the calendar year 1908. OF this amount
$592, 1919 was spent for permanent
improvements including the construc-
ton of 3,400 miles of trails, 100 miles of
wagon roads, 5000 miles of telephone
lines and forty miles of fire lines.

New Hospital for Rapid City.

Through the enterprise of two local
physicians, DR.. w. i. Robinson and DIR.
H. F. Rate, Rapid City will be provided
with fiast-class and fully equipped up
to-date hospital about August l. These
two physicians purchased from G..B.
Mansfield yesterday the Crouch place,
located on the corner of South and
Eighth streets, and work will be begun
at once to transform the house into a
modern hospital. The purchase price
was $500. The house is three story
frame structure, containing twelve
rooms, finished in hard wood and steam
heated. 1t is also provided with both
electric and gas lighting facilities. The
location is especially well adapted for
hospital purposes, being retired from
the business section of the city and it
faces on three streets with ample ground
space for future extensions, as the city
develops.
While the enterprise is of a private
nature, the institution will be open to
the general public, and all practitioners
will name the privilege of sending patti
ents to the new hospital.
The pressing need of hospital has
been long felt in Rapid City, owing to
the accidents, which occur to men work
ing in the mines, on the railroads and
on the ranches. 1t will also be lying
in hospital and will prove a boon tC
families living alta distance from medical
aid.
Both Drs. Robinson and Rate will be
the consulting physicians, and the insti
tuition will be under charge and direction
of a competent matron and corps o.
trained nurses.
Work of remodeling the house anC
putting in the necessary equipment fol
hospital purposes will be commenced to
day. The name of the new hospital will
be the Rapid City Hospital.
DR.. Robinson came here from Spear
fish about two years ago and while ther,
conducted a successful hospital. Hi

has been resident of Rapid City abou
two months. He has however, lived il

Most men who own watch think
they know all about it. They have the
number fixed in their memory in case it
is stolen. They could probably pick it
out from so other watches with their
eyes shut. But how many men know
that their watch is compass and will
tell north from south as accurately as it
viii tell the time of day? Stanley, the
explorer, did not know it until he had
grouped his way through the dark con-
tinent and met Belgian sailor on the
coast. Every watch is compass. II
you point the hour hand to the sun the
south is exactly half way between the
hour and the figure XII to the dial.
Suppose for instance, it is 4 o'clock.
Point the hand indicating 4to the sun
and the XI on the watch is exactly
south. fit is o'clock point the hand
indicating to the sun and the figure X
on the dial is due south. No man need
get lost If he carries watch.
