HIGH COST OF LIVING
NOT DUE TO FOOD EXPORTS
Statement of the Bureau of Statistics
Shows a Large Decrease in
the Shipments.

That the high cost Of living has not
been due to the export of foodstuffs,
crude or manufactured in whole or in
part. is shown by a recent statement of
the bureau of statistics, Department of
Commerce and Labor. That the increases
in exports have occurred almost exclu-
sively in manufactures is also shown.
Considering the exports by great
groups. the statement recites, foodstuffs
in a crude condition exported in the ifs
cal year 1910 amounted to $4,000 600,
against s136.O0O.OOO in 1909, $1se. O00. 900

South Africa, but it is harder than

Difficulty in Judging.

1.-The judges found no difficulty in
awarding the first prize in class for
front yards planted since October. 1909.
as this entry is without doubt the most
artistic front garden In the contest. The
remaining classes did not attract a great
deal Of competition and call for little in
the way of comment. The lawn in the
first prize garden, where a gardener is
employed, is good object lesson to other
gardeners Of what can be done by the
exercise of care and attention. The first
prize in the class for janitors keeping the
most attractive school grounds was
awarded because the judges appreciated
the great difficulties which the janitor has
to contend with. for he has a sandy soil
a well.

the association, has expressed his desire

HEALTH OF THE ARMY
STEADILY IMPROVING
Surgeon General Believes
Vaccination Against Typhoid
Should Be Compulsory.

According to the annual report of Sur
geon General Torney, the general health
of the army has shown STEADY improve
ment for several years. The constantly
non-effective rate. which Is regarded as
the true measure of the loss In efficiency
of the army from sickness and injury,
was 414S per one thousand during the
last fiscal year. as compared with 426s
for 1908, 46.17 for 1907 and 1919 for 1905.
The total number Of deaths from all
causes during the last year was $40. OF
which 22S were due to disease and 142 to
External causes
The admission rate for disease for 1909
was S6592 per one thousand of mean
strength, a constant improvement since
the year 1899, when the rate was 212o.1 IA
tuberculosis, however, was somewhat
greater than during the previous year. but
the decrease in prevalence OF malar1al In
lection was steadily maintained.
In a chapter regarding sanitary condi-
tons at the various army posts, Gen
Torney says that Fort Washington, Md,
stands first for malarial Infection and has
a very high rate Of admissions for that
disease In a recent report the command
ing officer of the post said that dense
underground, almost tropical In charac-
ter. existed near the barracks and along
roads much used by the men, which II
not removed, he feared, would cause ar
increased prevalence of malaria An es
innate of S25, 900 is submitted by. the sur
geon general for an infrmary building
at the Washington barracks. In order tc
provide for the temporary care OF the
sick at that post.
Little Insanity In Philippines.
Gen. Torney reports that the health OF
the American troops in the Philippines
continues to improve year by year. and
he says the records show that insanity Is
no more prevalent among troops serving
in the Philippines than among those in
the United States. Asiatic cholera has
been especially prevalent throughout the
archipelago the last year. and still pre-
walls.
Considerable progress has been made
during the year in the campaign for the
protection of the army against typhoid
fever by means of vaccination. Among
the II, 33S persons in the army who have
been vaecinated there have developed tc
date three cases of typhoid. with ne
deaths. The protective value of typhoid
vaccination, Gen. Torney says. has beer
as D rfectly demonstrated as any fact Ia

as a routine procedure throughout the

Repays Halfpenny in Five Years.

FROM The London Express.
The sum of one halfpenny has Just
been repaid to the Hull Corporation I'M
der curious circumstances. Five years
ago an old lady who lives in an out-of-
the-way part of Yorkshire went to Hull
and rendered two halfpennies for her
fare on tramcar. One OF the coins fell
and the conductor refused to take an
other, saying he would find the one on
the floor. When the old lady returned
10 her country home the missing half
penny fell out of her umbrella, and
though IL was five years before she
again visited Hull her first care was to
call and repay the corporation.

Identified by Tattoo Marks.

Haggard secured the services OF three
neighbors soon after O'Clock this morn
ing, and they awakened HurtZ. They
forced the man TO roll up his sleeves. and,
finding a tattoo mark there. accused him
of having killed Ketchel. EIurtz then ad
mitted the shooting. lie was then turned
over to the police and taken to Marshfield.
HurtZ. in telling the story OF the kill
ing, asserts that Ketche made insulting
remarks 10 Goldie Smith, a cook employed
at the farm. He says words passed be-
tween Ketchel and himself. and he then
demanded that the pugilist throw up his
hands. When the champion refused to do
this he said he was SO frightened, know
ing Ketchel carried revolver. that he
fired, and, hardly realizing what he had
done, fled.

Association Statement.

In announcing the awards for this
years contest, the association gave out
the following statement:
1.-The weakest feature Of garden man.
agement, as shown by the contest, is the
making and care Of lawns. In class 1,
for lawns only, the biggest prizes-$39-
were offered, but only attracted twenty
one entries, and Of the eight selected for
the Judges final inspection. only one
was found TO be really good. In point of
fact there are many better lawns in the
city which were not entered. and the
other prizes in this class are awarded
because ii seems desirable to encourag e
above all things, the keeping up of good
lawns, and also because the association
appreciates the difficulties which must be
overcome before first-class sod can be
obtained.
In class 2, for front yards, the gen
eral standard was much lower than was
expected. In many cases the mistake
had been made by having, too much
planting and not a sufficient proportion
of lawn. Some who had evinced good
taste In general arrangement had per-
mitted the effect to be married by un-
tidiness and the presence of weeds. In
several instances fnartistic effects had
been produced by the plants being
in urns. boxes or pots and stuck about
the lawn, resulting in stiff and I'M
natural effects. What is required is
to have more open lawn-not too
much hedge. In one case a lawn twelve
| by ten feet had a hedge two feet thick
on three sides of il.
More massing instead of single
plants placed all over the lawn would
| improve many lawns in this class.
The principal and most interesting
feature of the competition was the con-
| test for the backyard prizes
THE judges found homes In this class
to be generally OF a much higher stand
ard Of merit from all points of view than
the front yards. and there are probably
few who realize how many delightful
little gardens are to be found hidden
away in the city's back yards. Unfortu-
nately the cramped space made 1t difficult
to obtain photographs which really do
them Justice.
