The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
says that the first requisite for a com
prehensive campaign for the elimipa-

is w~ell-enforced law requiring that ev-

ported to the health authorities. Such
reporting Is now required by law or
health regulation in IS states, while
in % states and territories no provi-
sion whatever is made for keeping
record of cases of this infectious dis
ease. Several cities In n~on-registr&-

With the cessiOns from Mexico came
the great domain of California. Now,
look how strangely history sometimes
works out itself. Had there been n
suspicion of the discovery of gold in
California, neither Mexico nor our re-
public ever would have owned it!
England surely would have taken it.
The very year that my treaty eventu-
ally was ratified was that in which
gold was discovered in California!
But it was too late hen for England
to Interfere; too late then, also, for
Mexico to claim it. We got untold
millions Of treasure there. Most of
those millions went to the northern
states, into manufactures, into COM
MERGE. The north owned that gold;
and it was that gold which gave the
north the power to crush hat upris-
ing which was born of the Mexican
war-that same uprising by which
England. too late, would gladly have
seen this MO disrupted, so that she
might have yet another chance at
these lands she now had lost for ever.

Senator Percy Answers.

Mr., Percy requested the signers to
come around in front of the speakers

audience. In response to this the sign
ers lined up in front of the speaker,
who stated that while he had no oppor-
tunity in looking over the questions, he
would make this proposition to them,
that he presumed the questions were
asked because they wished to have them
answered, and while he might question
their right to ask them, if they would
agree to give him a fair hearing he
would answer them. To this they as
scented, and the speaker as he proceeded
with his speech stopped the d~esultory
efforts of two or three to call for Var
daman by demanding that if they were
honest men they would carry out their
compact. He was heard throughout with
absolute attention, hundreds of men
standing up from beginning to end of his
speech and from all sides they crowded
around the speakers stand. When, in
course of the speech, the questions were
reached, he asked the signers of the
man running for office should nave cour-

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system, becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
aiIment can expect 30 have a clear

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic

invigorate instead of weaken; they en-

Level Fields and
How to Get Them
By r. J. BALDWIN
Michigan Agricultural College

One of the greatest factors which
affect farm crops and farm operations
Is the form of the surface of the land.
An uneven surface not only makes ma
chinery work with greater difficulty,
but causes the crop to be spotted, due
to uneven supply of moisture and fer
tility The little elevations shed the
water, w1ch carries with it the read
lily availatie plant food. If the sur
face is more nearly level the manure
will stay more evenly distributed and
there will be less areas suffer for the
want of the moisture which helped to
drown out the crop in other parts Of
the field during the rainy season.
Leveling can best be done while fit
ting the land for wheat, or in the
spring when it is best prepared for
beans. Any other time will do, as
we'll provided the surface of the field
is loose to a depth of several inches
and the season is not too busy.
Many leveling devices have been
successful, and the one illustrated
here does good work even where the
land is very rough. It is made Of stiff
