FORESTERS AS BENEFACTORS.
Nearly h-tf mile above the sea
level, on the wooded shores of Rain
bow alike in the Adirondacks, the In
dependent Order of Foresters have
established a perfectly appointed
sanitorium. Here any brother strick-
en- with the great white plague may
retreat while there is yet time, and
amid the health giving odors of pine,
spruce and balsam. battle successful
Is with tuberculosis. The privileges
of the institution are free to members
of the Order, and a goodly number
is already making the most of the
opportunity.
1t was the zeal and foresight of
Elliott G. Stevenson, the Supreme
Chief Ranger of the order, that made
this philanthropic dream come true.
Realizing that tuberculosis was MAX
ing big inroads among the member
ship. he determined two years ago,
to establish santorium where
members afflicted with the dread
disease could go and be saved to
their families when possible A
year later he succeeded in purchas
ing at a very reasonable figure, six
hund# ID acres of mountain land, with
an almost ideal location in the heart
of the Adirondacks.
Hotel buildings that formerly oc-
cupied the grounds have been trans
formed into a modern sanitorium
with cottage annexes, establishing
an institution pronounced by the
Board of Health of New York to be
one of the most complete in the
CT untry. Every modern improvement
for the treatment of tuberculosis has
Teen provided, and a physician spe-
cialist with staff of assistants and
nurses is in charge. One end of the
building is enclosed as a sun par
Tor, ana tn6 rooms are 50 dTIdn6eu
that the inmates may be wheeled to
the large porch to sleep nights.
The sanitorium is located on an
elevated point, from which the land
slopes for several hundred feet down
to the shore of the lake. An excel
lent water supply has been provided
for from springs back in the noun
tains, and the sewage is disposed of
through incinerators. Ample fire
protection has been secured by the
installation of some improved COM
pressed air pumps down at the shore
of the lake. The present accommo-

is built, the power could be used
there, it is also true that there is
more than sufficient power at other
points along the new line to haul all
its cars and this 5000 might still be
viewed as surplus power. They
want to keep the power on the
Maine side of the line for the devel-
opment of Maine towns and Maine
industries.

SHEEP INDUSTRY.
Prospects for This Branch of Farm
Ing Was Never Better.

There is an awakening among the
farmers of New England in all
branches This is especially true in
Maine and New Hampshire. Edgar
f. Clifford. president of the Somerset
& Franklin Sheep Breeders Associa-
ton, returned recently from trip
to New Hampshire apd he makes the
following comments:
when it comes to an association
| think Maine has the best of 1t. In
New Hampshire they have been or
ganized three years with about so
members, while we have been Or
ganized less than a year with about
80 members, so you can see that our
growth has been much more rapid.
sheep husbandry is just beginning
to receive some of the attention that
should have been bestowed on it
long ago. If sheep had received one
half the attention that dairying has
| believe there would be double the
hummer III lliIo DldtVs ipht bAihCot
every speaker that has been sent out
by the department of agriculture has
been a dairyman and consequently
it has been a steady fire of dairy talk,
not but that dairying should be
given all due attention, but sheep
should be given their inning now
AS has been proven by the depart
II ent of agriculture at Washington,
d. c., the West has reached its limit
H. the production of wool and mutton
and any increase must come from
the South and East. This is some
thing for New England farmers to
think of. For with the rapid increase
in population there must be an in
crease in these commodities; and
gain, the hired help problem is one
oi the sheep industry as one can Sc
cure the maximum amount of profit
with the minimum amount of labor
Not that sheep will thrive without
any care or attention, but they will
make profit with about the least
labor of any of our domestic ami
mails.
THE future of sheep husbandry
which should be the great study for
our flock masters has but one side,
which points to higher prices. While
with dairying it can be argued. and
Justly so, that we get the returns
every day or week; with sheep we
get returns only twice year, but
the products from the sheep can be
kept for a time if the markets are
not satisfactory. Wool can be stored
for an indefinite time, while lambs
properly handled can be kept for
months with a gain all the time; and,
again, ii does not require as much
capital to start in the sheep bust
ress, costing very little for build
ings,-as all they require is a place
them dry since the cold won't hurt
them any,-unless one is going into
the ot-house lamb business. And
here | will say that some expert
ments are in progress at the pres
ent time which | believe will dem
onstrate that almost any breed can
be used for early lambs as we'll as
the Dorset or Tunis. Everything
points to a good healthy boom in the
most neglected branch of the live
stock industry

Alabama has worked out new
scheme for soaking the trusts. Her
insurance law provides that policy
holders may collect for fire loss, the
actual damage plus twenty-five per
cent, where the premium rates have
been fixed through combination. In
a test case the U. S. Supreme court
says the arrangement is good law.
Looks as If the insurance magnates
might have to sit up nights for a
while, and see If they can find some
way around the present difficulty.

KOSSUTH'S NIECE HERE.
Madame Ambrozovics Is introduced
to President Taft.

Nine. Ambrozovics Of Budapest,
niece of Louis Kossuth. the Hungarian
patriot and revolutionist, was introduced
to President Taft this morning by Rep
resentative Call of Massachusetts.
She was also accompanied by Chaplain
r. r.. Hoes Of the navy
Nine. Ambrozovics reached Washing
ton this morning from Norfolk, Va. un-
der the escort Of Chaplain Hoes, and
during her visit Of three days here will
be at the Grafton. on Connecticut
avenue. She left her residence in Ruda-
pest. Hungary, April Is, and since
the 6tn of this month has been the
guest Of a relative. the wife of Cant
Alfred Reynolds. commanding the
United States ship Franklin. in the Nor
folk navy yard.
It has been the desire of Nine
Ambrozovics to revisit some of the
scenes connected with her early life in
this country; and especially those as
ISOLATED with the sojourn in America
of her uncle. Her visit will end June
Is. It is her intention to visit Phila-
delphia, New York, Boston and other
places.

would prevent them from securing reim-
bursement for their losses.
Another consideration is that It would
oblige our government to treat the Diaz
government precisely as II does the reb-
els. in the matter of denying them the
right to import arms and munitions of
war, and would subject American goods
entering Mexico to seizure as contraband
at the whim Of the rebels without any
recourse.
Technically there is no difficulty in find
Ing ground for refusal to accord bellis-
erent rights to Madero. He has not yet
set up fully equipped government in
q stable capital and possesses no con-
siderable seaport-things usually regarded
as conditions precedent to recognition.
Just to what extent Madero has bene-
fted by the capture of Juarez in changing
his status in the eye of international law
the officials here are not disposed at
present to declare. But offhand it is
said that the United States will be obliged
to- recognize his de facto control OF
Juarez. an international port of entry.
In the end he will be able to receive
merchandise through his custom house
and collect tariF taxes.
1t is true that when Aqua Prieta for a
short time was In possession of the rebels
the American custom house at Douglas,
adjoining that place. was closed by the
collector, preventing the exchange of
goods. But It Is admitted that had the
rebel occupation continued for a few days
longer that act Of the collector. which
was not directed from Washington. would
have been disavowed and trade relations
between the two towns would have been
re-established.
No new orders have been given by the
War Department to the United States
troops at Nogales.
At the department it is explained that
the officers in command at Nogales are
preparing to patrol the border and keep
Americans out of danger in case of a
battle.

NURSES SENT TO JUAREZ.
Red Cross Socity Responds to Re-
quest From Col. Steever.

In response to q request from Col.

ordered five nurses to Juarez for duty at
the temporary hospital established there
to care for the wounded. Col. Steever
estimates the insurrecto wounded in
Juarez at 100. of whom thirty are serious
ly hurt; the federal sick and wounded
number 125. Of whom fifty are in a
serious condition. The American officer
has organized AIRED Cross committee con-
sisting of Maj. Edger Medical Corps. and
Drs. J. b. Brady and H. E. Stephenson of

doctors and nurses from Ell Paso were
sent across after firing ceased. The hos

TAFT'S STAND APPROVED.
Director Barrett Receives Letters
Commencing Mexican Policy.

President Taft's policy Of non-interven-
ton In Mexico Is bearing fruit.
John Barrett, director general Of the
Pan-American Union, who Is regarded as
being closely in touch with Latin-Ameri-
can affairs, told the President today he
had received hundreds Of letters from
Americans and Mexicans commencing the
Taft policy of hands-off in Mexico: that
these letters declared the situation in
that republic would be infinitely worse
IL the United States interviewed, and that
the friendly feeling of other South Amer
lean countries would be greatly increased
If the Presidents policy of non-inter-
ference is adhered to.
According to Mr.. Barrett the tone of
the letters he has received Is almost the
same. The conditions that border on an
archy in Mexico, the letters indicate,
would grow worse II the United States
interfered; the poems In both the federal
and insurrecto camps could be depended
upon ultimately to combine against this
country, and the other republics In the
Pan-American union would at once come
to the conclusion that the protestations
of friendship upon the part of this ma
ton meant nothing at all.
Mr.. Barrett told the President there Is
no question but that II this nation keeps
out Of Mexico the other Latin-American
nations would experience a wave of
friendliness for the United States greater
than any that has occurred so far.
