People Realize the Danger.

AS an indication of the force of the
crusade against tuberculosis, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in bulle-
tin issued recently points to the fact
that while 535 per cent. of the ex-
penditures for tuberculosis in 1909
were made from public resources, ap-
preparations made for 1910 indicate
that over rs per cent. of the money
to be spent this year will be from fed
eral, state, city and county funds. In
1909, out of the $S,180,621.50 spent for
the prevention and treatment OF tu-
berculosis, $4,362,750.03 was spent
from public money, and $3,S17,S71.H
from funds voluntarily contributed.
For the carrying on of state, federal
and municipal tuberculosis work in
1910, over 100000 has been appro-
priated. Of this sum, the state legis-
latures have granted $4,100,000, the
municipal and county bodies, $685.
500 and the federal government, ST.

ST. Valentine G. Co.

In days of old, st. Valentine
Resided all alone
Within little woodland cot
With ivy oVergroWn.
Thence once a year he sailed forth,
Though keen the norther blew,
To leave a letter at the door
OF every maid he knew.
But with increasing age he found
The ancient leather pack,
Stuffed full of valentines, too great
A burden for his back.
81 will no longer" said the saint,
$50 tramping up and down.
I'll turn an honest penny now,
And buy a shop in town"
So if you walk along Broadway,
The windows you will find
Are filed with pretty valentines
OF every size and kind,
With Cupid in the partnership
TIe peddles them no more,
But sells his dainty missives from
A big department store.

This Contractor got results.

He knew how to feed his men.
Some years ago a contractor build
ing a railroad in a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to
the men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water.
Almost instantly all signs of stomach
disorders passed and his men showed
decided improvement in strength
and spirits.
This contractor had experience that
taught him the great value of good
oatmeal. So

About the year 1900 the manufac-
tured article began to steal away the
early charm of ST. Valentines day
Transformation scenes were a conceit
of the German manufacturers. A lone
bachelor sits and bemoans his fate of
solitariness until a shifting scene re-
veals to him what bliss life would be
with her of his dreams. The more
elaborate of these manufactured val
entines were wonderful examples of
human ingenuity and handicraft and
some were very expensive.
The manufacturer of valentines so
years ago gave remunerative employ
ment to an army of women, to whom
the work of construction was intrust-
ed. Germany furnished most of the
material in bulk for valentines. but
the beautifully made artificial cambria
roses, each no longer than a pea, were
made in French converts by women
to whom valentines were never sent
and who were vowed to celibacy and
single life.
The anonymity of the remembrance
is its charm, as in the case of the

WARNING FROM HEALTH BOARD.
DIR. Sumner Urges Care in Treatment
of Fourth of July Wounds.

Secretary G. H. Sumner, of the
Iowa state board of health, has issued
warning to the people of Iowa and
especially to the health officers rela-
tive to the care of wounds received
by celebrators of the Fourth of July.
He urges the immediate use of te-
tanus antitoxin in all cases of burns,
this being sure preventative of lock
jaw, which often follows gunpowder
wounds.
His statement is as follows:
Let all remember that with each
increased demand from the popula-
ton at large that the day shall be
celebrated in more and more sane
manner. The lives of children are
too precious to be sacrificed to a
senseless mania to celebrate Cannon
crackers and blank cartridges should
be absolutely prohibited. Notwith-
standing the many warnings that
have been given from time to time,
we know that this will not be. When
Fourth of July accidents occur, it is
not the immediate accident that is to
be dreaded, as rule, but its second
airy effect-lockjaw. This is a pre-
ventable disease and every child who
receives a blank cartridge wound, or
any other direct street wound, should
not only have it well opened and
dressed by a physician, but should
also receive immunizing doses of
anti-tetanus serum. 1t does not pay
to take chances. Whether it does any
good after lockjaw develops is ex-
ceedingly doubtful, and people should
understand that the time to give
anti-tetanus serum is soon after the
wound is inflicted.
Recent results go to show that the
simultaneous injection of an immun-
izing dose of tetanus antitoxin is a
sure method of preventing the dis
ease. In all cases where garden dirt,
, stable dust, manure, paper wads or
powder from cartridges have been
ground or forced into the injured
tissues, a preventive dose of tetanus
antitoxin should be given subcutan-
eously at the time the wound is
| dressed OF as soon after as it is posi-

after. Fourth of July injuries.

Rates of interest on farm loans ar,

Rates of interest on farm loans are
going up. Not long ago there was
plenty of money to be loaned on
farms in this state at per cent, and
some such money may yet be obtain
ed; but many of the companies have
raised the rates. The Northwestern
Life, of Milwaukee, recently raised
to 6 per cent, and the Merchants
Loan and Trust Co., of Chicago,
which places large amounts in loans
in this country, has also raised. The
principal causes for these increases
may be found in the large demand
for money, occasioned by the mort
gaging of Iowa farms in order to buy
western land. Another cause is the
automobile craze,if that term may be
used. 1t is said that the state of Iowa
has issued as high as 1900 licenses
for these vehicles in single month
This means something over $1,000.
