The Fiqht AGAINST tuberculosis.

Interest in the anti-tuberculosis CAM
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 1853 new anti-tU-
berculosis associations were formed,
1873 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit-
ais were established, and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com
pared with previous years, this is the
best record thus far made in the fight
against consumption in this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more asso-
Citations for the prevention of tubercu-
losis were formed than during the pre-
vious IL months, and 62 more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January 1, 1910, there were in the Uni
ted States 394 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations, 3S6 hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis
dispensaries.

The Yell a Habit.

A delegation of peddlers and rep
resentatives of peddlers has appeared
before the council judiciary commit
tee to urge the repeal of the anti
noise ordinance. These peddlers hon.
estly believe that they can't do busi-
ness without yelling. AS matter OF
fact, they have never tried. There is
good reason to think that when they
try they will find their business is as
good as ever. If some peddlers had to
stop yelling and others didn't the re.
suit would be unfair competition, but
when all stop together none is any the
worse off. 1t was pointed out at the
council hearing that no Greek ped
dlers were complaining OF the ordi-
nance, the reason being that the
Greeks used more progressive meth.

WEARING OUT
FARM QUICKLY
Rich s oiI II e n red Sterile
Through Continuous Bad Crop
ping and Bad Management
Fertility.
By ARTHUR S. BILL)

"Our inexhaustibly rich soil" and
many similar expressions to indicate
that the land would never become less
productive were quite common dec
ade ago. But you seldom hear such
words now; they are passing away
with many other thoughtless conceits.
But whoever heard of man taking
piece of virgin soil and literally
wearing it out in his own lifetime?
A most impressive illustration of
this very thing recently came under
the writer's personal observation, a
few miles from Carbonate, in south
ern Illinois.
A man now well along in his nine
ties is living upon a 120-acre farm
which he secured from the govern
ment about sixty years ago at $1.25 an
acre. The place has never been trans
ferred to another person.
1t was good ground and used to
produce 80 bushels of wheat per acre,
but has been farmed so constantly to
corn and wheat without any intelli-
gent rotation or provision to return
the plant food taken off in the crops
that now the produce of the land bare
ly enables the occupants to exist.
The last wheat crop was two bush
els per acre. Probably less than ten
bushels of corn per acre were raised
there this year. The land can be
counted on for little if any more than
quarter of an average crop. Some
of this land must lie idle every year
to rest up" for the next crop-as the
writer saw.
A nearby farmer has 40 bushels of
corn per acre and may have above so
bushels per acre this year. Land is a
good price in that locality.
For any real farming that contem-

McEvscn's Decision.

Not long ago Justice McEwen sat on
COW case; that is, case involving
money due one man for boarding the
COW of another. The. wrangle was
as to what the board was worth.
One attorney called three or four
liverymen and got their testimony on
the cost Of boarding a horse. OF
course, the opposing counsel objected
and declared such testimony to be In
competent, on the ground that the
cost of boarding a horse is not the
same as the cost of boarding a COW.
This the other attorney conceded,
but he explained that he was going to
follow up the testimony Of the livery
men with expert testimony to show
how much less, IL any, it costs to
keep COW than a horse.
"Oh, If you are going to work on
that plan,' put in McEwen in judicial
tones, "you might as well start in
with elephants and work down to
cows by gradual stages. Cleveland

Head Bookkeeper Must be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large bl,jsi.

did for him:
my wife and l drank our first cup
of Postum little over two years ago.
and VIC have used it ever since. to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and half years ago

BILE. ] happened to mention the mat
ter to my grocer one day and he sug-
gested that I give Postum trial.
Next day it came, but the cook made
the mistake of not boiling it sufficient
ly, and we did not like it much. This
was, however, soon remedied, and now
we like it so much that we will never
change back. Postum, being a food
beverage instead of a drug, has been
the means of curing my stomach troy.

MY work as chief bookkeeper in our
Co.'s branch house here Is of a very

plates more than keeping soul and
body together this farm has been
ruined. 1t will amount to nothing
until it has the effect of right treat
ment, and rather expensive treatment,
for series OF years. And many an
other. Illinois farm has been practical
ly ruined in the same time, though
perhaps not many by the so-called
farming of one person.
The owner can never build up"
such land. The utmost he can do is
to live. He has not even a dollar per
acre to invest in improvement. Money
for such wise investment must come
from outside the farm.
1t takes a little longer to ruin the
richer land of central Illinois, but it
can be done just as certainly, as IS
shown by the 80 years of continuous
corn growing on one Of the university
plots at Urbana.
Now every intelligent farmer is be-
ginning to see that without some
proper care and repair his soil will
hoI AhdihtdiH itocll lolSNcIy any uOi y
than would his buildings.
Nothing more significant to Ameri-
can agriculture has ever been uttered
than the two sides of the same prop
osition persistenty taught by DR..
Cyril G. Hopkins, the University of
Illinois soil expert, as follows:
"To permanently maintain profit
able systems Of agriculture is our
most important material problem. not
only in Illinois but in the United
States.
IF we shall succeed in Illinois in
discovering and adopting into general
agricultural practice systems of farm
ing that will restore our soils to their
virgin fertility and permanently main
tain a high productive capacity for
these Illinois lands, it will be the first
time for this to be accomplished any
where in the world over such an
area"
This is getting down to bedrock in
agriculture. The most far-sighted and
unselfish farmers are just beginning
to comprehend the literal meaning Of
these facts and the ACCESSIBILITY of act
ing upon them before it is too la,e.

What of the Future?
A Review Of the Causes Of the FL
nanCial DepressiOns Of the Past
Outlook for the Future.
tFrom Goodwin,s weekly,

The prudent mine owner, when
he has his mine opened and his
mill built, always keeps his devel-
opment work going on, that he
may keep his ore bodies opened
some months in advance of the
mills reduction.
In the same way a prudent ma
ton tries to SO conduct its affairs
as to make sure that its labor
ingmen, skilled and unskilled, will
always be sure of employment.
Our nation has failed in this
several times, once in 1887, once
in 1857, once in 1878, once in
1898 and once in 1907. The first
was due to the fact that the Gov
eminent was trying to perform
the impossible task of exchang-
ling its raw material for the fin
ished goods and wares of other
countries. No country ever has,
no country ever can, keep even
AT this, except that it has a mo-
nopoly on some great staple ar
ticle which the world must have.
| The southern states had this mo-
Inopoly in cotton, produced by
unpaid labor, and they insisted
| that they should have the right
| to purchase what they needed in
every mart of the world without
restriction. 1t ended in draining
| the whole country Of its money
and in stuffing every warehouse
with foreign goods. 1t was the
lCobden idea, working as he in
tended that it should work-for
England. Canada, Australia,
ISouthern Europe and some of the
Latin states tried the same ex-
pertinent, and all with a like re-
suit. England in those days
might have made the refrain of
the song Of the old sexton a ma
tional air, and every day with
uncovered heads, have sung it,
after "God Save the Queen" as.
a doxology, "Wegather them in,
we gather them in
1t was the same way in 1857,
though that panic was put off
perhaps five years by the influx
of gold from California. But the
same causes were at work, and
when thepanic came, it was found
that OF the $5O0,OOO 900 received
from California, all but $57,000,-
600 had been sent away across
the sea.
The panic Of 1873 was due to
the supreme stupidity of the
American Congress. When the
war came on in 1861, gold, as it
always does in time of danger,
| fled under cover. The govern
ment was forced to issue paper
representatives of value, with
nothing behind them but thefaith
of the people, and bonds drawing
heavy interest. 1t was able with
these to buy enough gold and sill
yer to meet its interest, and so
the greenbacks retained a value
: TO steady the government and
give the people something to do
business on. 1t was all the mon
ey thepeople had. Asgreenbacks
fell in value, property increased
in value correspondingly, Of
course. So men gave notes and
mortgages on that basis. When
the war closed the greenbacks be-
gan slowly to appreciate in val
ne, but not very fast, for those
were the so-called reconstruction
! days, and a great many of the
omens were not of a peaceful fu-
ture. After seven years, congress,
