Tuberculosis Is Barred.

In line with precautions taken by the
health authorities of Camden, New
Jersey, to prevent teachers affected by
tuberculosis from associating with the
public school children, all applicants for
teachers certificates and students in the
Normal schools will be required to sub
NIT to medical examination.
The Board of Education has decided
that all teachers in whom symptoms of
tuberculosis are found will be given a
leave of absence until they have recov-
cred. If found physically sound at the
end of the vacation the teachers will re-
sumo their duties, but after the second
examination they will not be permitted
to continue.
Normal school pupils affected with
tuberculosis who do not show improve
ment after vacation, will be dropped
from the rolls.

The Homestake Mining Company is
today running notice to its employees
on the front page of this paper This
notice informs employees that all the
hospital benefits they have enjoyed will
be continued with this difference-that
the entire burden Of maintaining the
hospital will be borne by the company
while employees will have all medical
care, hospital attendance, etc., absolute
ly free. So far as the writer has been
able to ascertain, there is not another
corporation in the world giving this
advantage to the men in its employ.
The proposition is unique but it is in
line with the attitude always maintained
toward the employees by the manage
ment of the Homestake.-Lead Call.

Do Not Recognize South Dakota Divorce.

DO N OF Recognize ooutn Dakota DlVorco'
The divorce DEGREES granted in South
Dakota are not illegal tender" in the
District of Columbia, according to a
decision rendered by Justice Stafford OF
the District Supreme Court.
The particular decree of divorce which
the Justice declared invalid in the Ma
tional Capital was obtained by Milton
L. Davis, who in April of 1907, went to
South Dakota. In December he got his
divorce and three weeks later was mar
ried again. The former Mrs. Davis, il
she is no longer the legal wife, brought
suit for absolute divorce and alimony.
The answer made to the petition was
that Davis had already secured a di-
vorce.
"It is not for public interest,", Stafford
SAYS in the opinion, chat divorces oi
this character should be held good"
He held that inasmuch as Davis had
deserted his wife and left this jurisdic'
ton, it follows that the court of South
Dakota has no jurisdiction over her ant
no right to bind her by its divorce
Wherefore he ordered Davis to pay ali
mony and to make provision to support
the child by his former marriage.

ELECTRIC HEADLIGHT LAW.
Experts Declare the Proposed Electric
Headllght Law is Impractical and
Unsatisfactory and Should be
Voted Down at the Election
Tuesday, November 8,

Headlight Law ts Impractical and
Unsatisfactory and Should be
Voted Down at the Election
Tuesday, November 8.
Among the various freak bills passed
by the Legislature is the Electric Head
light bill. The members of the Legis-
lature, Of course, were not practical en-
gineers, and therefore may be pardoned
for any mistakes in this class of Legisla-
ton.
In the first place, it would seem that
inasmuch as a railroad is an entity pass
ing through various States, that it were
unwise-if not impossible-for the Leg
islature of the various States to attempt
to prescribe or determine what equip
ment should be used in each State.
For example, if the Legislature of
South Dakota prescribes an electric
headlight of 1900 candle-power, the Leg
islature of Minnesota may prescribe an
acyteline gas headlight of 750 candle
power, and the Legislature of Iowa may
prescribe a signal oil headlight. This
would necessitate change of equip
ment on crossing the State lines, and
aptly illustrates the absurdity of legisla-
ton of this kind.
Actual tests have shown the electric
headlight to be unsatisfactory and fail
ure as a practical equipment. This was
shown by the Great Northern tests made
at Minneapolis when the electric head
light bill was pending before the Legis-
lature of Minnesota, and, more recently,
by the tests made at Purdue University
by Prof. Benjamin.
Among the other Objectionable feat
ures OF the electric headlight is the fact
that it is ruinous to the eyes of an en-
gineer. Owing to its brialliancy it would
shorten by 10 years the period that an
engineer could remain in service. If
such headlight was installed numerous
engineers would be unable to continue
in the service of the railway companies,
as they could not meet the eye test.
The light is so strong that it obliterates
all lesser lights and makes it impossi-
BILE for the engineers to distinguish the
switch lights. The mechanism is so
delicate that it is subject to frequent fail
ure, and only an expert electrician can
repair this equipment. Much of the
time train would not have any electric
headlight, but would be without any
headlight whatever.
Many of the railroad companies, after
thorough test, have discard ed this
light, and many of the roads are now
adopting the aceytelene dry gas. 1t has
recently become known that extensive
experiments now are being made by the
South Dakota lines with this kind o.
headlight, and that the experiment.
thus far are proving very satisfactory.
The subject is one that should be deal
with in a scientific manner, and by thost
who have practical or scientific knowl
edge of the subject. 1t is a freak Law
and should be voted down, and the
determination of the kind of light to be
used should be left with those who bear
the responsibility. Voters will be safe
in voting mo" on this proposition.

during the time he has been Governor
has demonstrated this in an effective

Report 10 Full.

One of the most useful. practical
and interesting bulletins that has
been issued by the state agricultur-
al college is the one containing the
report Of the various experiment
farms throughout the state. This
pamphlet is full of results, show
ine as it does the experimentation
regarding the raising Of the stand
ard farm-crops Of this state. This
report can be obtained on request by
sending your name and address to
the Agricultural College, Fargo.
N. D.
One Of the experiment farms is in
Emmons county, just in the out
skirts of Hazelton, S. E. Kurtz be-
ing the manager and the farm being
on his land. We give the report of
the Emmons county farm in full, as
follows:
This demonstration farm was es-
tablished the latter part of last
April, on level tract of land 2 mile
east of Hazelton. in Emmons coun-
ty. The land was broken in 1905
and was sown to wheat in 1906 and
oats in 1907 and 1908. During this
time it received no manure. The
field was in oat-stubble and had to be
spring-plowed. The land is very
free from weeds and contains no
noxious weeds, with the exception
of a light sprinkling of yellow mus
tard. The soil is a sandy loan, with
clay subsoil. The problem here is
the general problem of producing
large grain yields and at the same
time to gradually increase the soil
fertility. and to eradicate the yell
low mustard and keep out all nox-
ious weeds. With this end in view,
the following five-year rotation was
put in operation on the farm. The
plot that is in corn will always be
manured the preceding winter.
Elevation about 1900 feet.
