THE national census enumeration will
center about April Is, the day upon
which all current facts are to be based.
Persons living on that day, but who
died after it and before the enumera-
tors call, are to be counted, but per-
sons born after April Is are not includ-
ed in the count. Persons who were
single on April Is are to be reported as
single, even though they have married
subsequently and before the canvasser
has called. This is true, similarly, of
persons who became widowed or di-
vorcedt after April Is. The census law
provides that all persons shall be emu
merated at their usual place of abode"
on April Is. This means the place
where they may be said to live or be-
long or the place which is their home.
There will be, on the other hand, a
certain number of persons present and
perhaps lodging and sleeping III dis
tricts at the time of the enumeration
who do not have their usual places of
abode there. These are not to be emu
merated. 1t must be assumed that
they will be enumerated elsewhere.

Politics seems to be the most ex-
pensive luxury we enjoy in these days
of high living and reform. At recent
election in Boston a few weeks ago
where new system, non-partisan, was
put on trial, which its advocates claim
ed would 'harken back to the simplicity
of our fathers, the cost was prodigious-
ly high. Votes reckoned on a CONNER
cial basis cost the successful candidate
% cents apiece. His losing opponent
paid $2.68 cents apiece for what he got.

AT THE meeting of the Rock River
Improvement association, held at Rock
ford last week, steps were taken which
it is believed will result in still larger
sums of money being set aside by the
national congress in it's river and har-
Dor appropriations for the improvement
of Rock river Resolutions were passed
and will be sent to the United States
senators from Illinois and Wisconsin
and also to four of the congressman in
each state whose districts are contiguous
to the Rock river territory, asking them
to use their influence In getting gov
ernmental aid for a survey of Rock
river, giving especial attention to the
making of the river navigable to boats
of light draught from Sterling to James,
vile, for survey and report upon
making a reservoir of the Horizon
marsh; a report on the land along the
river which may be reclaimed and the
BENEFITS to the same and the benefits
which may accrue to waterpowers along
the river from the improvement of the
stream. w. A. Meese of Moline, inter-
ested in the improvement of the upper
Mississippi and also the Rock river,
made splendid talk in which he gave
a review of the work and declared that
he believed the entering wedge had
been made, in that congress had in
,cluded 5000 in it's river and harbor
bill for the making of lock in the dam
at Sterling. This will be followed by
similar appropriations for locks until
every dam between the mouth Of the
river and it's head waters in the Hori-
con marsh district in Wisconsin is pro-
vided. He reviewed the work which
has been done and recommended the
establishment of reservoirs at Horizon
Lake, Hustisford and Koshkonong
Lake.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My little son, boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we'could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
eura he was so bad that l had to cut
bis hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass Of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
Is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam

GOOD HOUSE FOR DAIRY cow
Provision of Airy, Sanitary Buildings
Must Be Matter of First Con-

CBy W. r. GILBERT)
In dairying the first consideration

provision of airy. sanitary buildings
must be a matter of the first import

1t is positive certainty that heal

ed indefinitely in circumstances favor
able to the propagation and develop
ment of disease germs, and conse-
quently, the condition of the sheds In
which the dairy cattle are accommo-

thorough inquiry and systematic in

The subject is an important one
from the point of view of the general
public, but 1t is of even greater mo-

The first essentials in the proper
housing of COWS are sufficient ventila-
ton and sanitary arrangements that
will facilitate the thorough cleansing
of the buildings.
In the housing Of COWS, as indeed,
Of all classes of stock, It is essential to
discriminate between air space and
ventilation The two terms are not
synonymous as every practical farmer
knows. Fresh air is essential to the
maintenance of health but large cubic
area is as little a guarantee as 1t is
an essential of good ventilation.
Now, 1t is a fact that those who
should know better, make their de-
mand, In respect to fresh air in COW
sheds, for air space. rather than for
frequent air renewal, and by way of
showing the mistaken value of this
Idea, 1t may be pointed out that 1t is
quite conceivable that the air of a
COW barn containing 900 cubic feet of
air space, and imperfectly ventilated
may receive less fresh air than that

well ventilated, and at the same time
be colder and less comfortable for the

The ventilation in many of the exist.

fective. but instead of constructing
spacious new buildings at heavy cost
1t would be much more reasonable
and equally effective to devote atten.
ton to the subject of ventilation.
In the present knowledge of such
matters the imperfections of the ex
listing buildings could be rectified at
comparatively little expense, and the
sanitary conditions made to comply
with the regulations necessary to
maintain health and to prevent the
pollution of the milk.

Cuba there are over 10000 deaths from

bad effect on the urinary organs.
