THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Value of Education.

By DR.. EDWARD L. TRUDEAU.
The first and creates need in
the prevention of tuberculosis is
cation of the peo-
pie and through them education
Of the state. 1t is evident that
if every man and woman in the
United States were familiar with
the main facts relating to the
manner in which tuberculosis is
communicated and the simple
measures necessary for their
protection not only might we
reasonably expect as direct re-
suit Of this knowledge a great
diminution in the death rate of
the disease. but the people would
soon demand and easily obtain
effective legislation for it's pre-
vention and control. When a
state has once become we'll edu-
Gated and not before will the
other requisites necessary to the
control of. the disease be forth
coming.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Consumption-A Disease of the
Poor.
BY CHARLES c. DURYEE.

Consumption is distinctly a
disease of the poor, and it is we'll
to look sQuarely in the face the
fact that among the poor, who
constitute large proportion or
the total population. diseases
such as this which develop slow
ly and run a comparatively long
course are apt to have little re-
medal medical treatment. The
physician is not called in, as a
rule, until the disease has devel-
oped to an extent which inter-
feres with the daily work of the
patient 1t has then passed. in
many cases, the stage of RENE
dial treatment. and even If there
be hope of recovery the family
feels itself under the necessity
of curtailing expenditure in ev-
cry possible way. This is one
of the chief reasons why the dis
ease is such a drain on commu-
nifty vitality. Why should COM
munities hesitate to build hos
pitfalls, establish dispenSaries and
employ visiting nurses to stop
this drain?

A Curious Coincidence.

Milwaukee Journal 1t is curious
coincidence that at time when the
Tories have resumed their crusade
against the University of Wisconsin the
the university should draw from the
assistant editor of the Encyclopedia
Britannica the statement that nothing
has so impressed him in the United
States as the democratic spirit at the
University of Wisconsin, the absence
of autocratic control and discipline
such as marks the government of Eng
lish universities and the public-spirited
way in which the university is supported
by the people of Wisconsin. Madison,
he said, had impressed him more than
any other city in America. And his
wife added 1T is like Arcadia"
This is not the first time time the
University of Wisconsin has been paid
high tribute from foreign scholars.
The Mosley commission, which investi-
gated the American educational system
with the pupose of improving the edu-
cational system of Great Britain, placed
the University of Wisconsin first among
the universities of America 1t, too,
was deeply impressed with the demo-
cratic atmosphere of the institution and
the emphasis that is placed upon serv-
ice-in fitting men to be useful citizens
rather than social ornaments
If the University of Wisconsin were
not rendering a great service to the
state-if it merely confined it's activities
to conventional methods of teaching
there would be no attacks upon it from
the holders of privilege. 1t is the fact
that 1T encourages research and thought
and permits it's thinkers and investiga-
tors to give the people the benefit of
their researches that so arOuses the OPP
position of Toryism. When the uni
verSity gave cOuntenance to the con-
servation movement, when among it's
professors there appeared those to
question the divine right of the riparian
owner, then every man who has a pri-
vilege whereby he reaps where other
mems toll instinctively felt that danger
impended. Then arose the cry: 1.-The
university is in politics, and the charge
that it is wasting the public funds
The universitys Tory critics rage
about anarchy" and immortality"
and are inexpressibly shocked that
men should be free to think and speak
without a censor placed over them.
They want muzzle for the university
For it was a crime to teach slave to
read. The forms of Toryism change
with the years but its spirit abdeth
forever.

SILO AND ENSlLAGE.

The COW never tires of silage.
That's one reason it's so valu-
able
Twenty acres of corn put into
the si!o are worth more in feed
ing a dairy herd than thirty
acres in the crib.
If the man who has no silo
would watch his neighbor feed
and watch the results be would
soon have one.
The average ensilage ration is
forty pounds per cow daily. This
is seven and three-ffth tons per
year. An acre will yield fifteen
tons of silage. Can you find
another crop that will furnish
roughage at the rate of two
COWS to the acre?
The COW is the final judge as
to the real worth of silage. She
is it's ultimate consumer" and
when she says by full pail and
satisfied expression that silage
is the best dairy feed the wise
dairyman will abide by her de-
cision.
If you haven't a silo think
over the matter of building one.
The greatest forage crop in the
world is corn, and the silo is
the most economical device for
use in dishing it up. The silo
is almost indispensable to the
really up to date dairy. but 81
lage is the best form in which
to feed corn to sheep or to beef
cattle.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Consumption and Poverty.

BY DIR. OSCAR H. ROGERS.
Mr.. Charles Booth in his nota-
BILE study Of poverty as he found
it in the city of London eSti-
mates that 80 per cent of all
chronic poverty is caused by i'll
health. 1t would be a most in
teresting study to determine by
careful research how large
proportion of this i'll health
which causes poverty is due to
consumption alone. If 80 per
cent Of the deaths among our
adult population. taken as a
whole, are due to tuberculosis
may we not say that at least
50 per cent of deaths among the
very poor are due to that dis
ease? My own impression is
that that estimate is not too
high. that consumption and
chronic poverty constitute a vi

to produce the other, and that
no real progress may be made in
our campaign unless we some
how manage to break this vi
cious circle [ wish to strongly
urge this point of view. that our
campaign must be directed
against the tuberculosis of the
very poor. Poverty and igno-
rance unite to produce those con-
ditions which favor the spread
of consumption. Consumption
contributes nightly to the pow
erty and ignorance among us.

Draft Horse Models for Agricul-
turaI College.

The animal husbandry and veter-
mary departments of the College of
Agriculture Of the University of Wis
cOnsin will soon introduce an innova-
ton in their Institutional work in draft
horse Judging. Two models of draft
horses, one showing the requisite points
OF the most desirable type, and another
presenting the objectional features in
undesirable types, are being made by
George Ford Morris, the celebrated
animal artist of New York City. These
models are to be 26 inches high, made
of durable material, of the highest class
of art work and very true to nature.
Mr.. Morris has had extensive prac-
tical experience and therefore is emf
nently qualified to produce perfectly
reliable and representative models.
In addition to the University of Wis
consin number of state agricultural
colleges have subscribed for sets Of
these models and they will probably
become universally standard. Their
use is not restricted to draft horses but
is just as effectual in representing the
various points Of COW, hog, or sheep.

The RavaGes OF The soil Robbers"

Inc kaVaSeS vi Inc Soil kobbers
The history of American aericul-
ture, at least until very recently,
must be history of bad farming.
In this country owing to the great
stores of wealth which the past had
accumulated in the soil, it is only
within recent years that the ques-
ton Of the supply of plant foUd has
assumed any practical importance.
AS long as there are virgin fields
at the disposal of the soil robber
the restoration of exhausted fields
was of little consequence. The
final result has been that the
wealth which has been accumulat-
ed in the soil for thousands of years
has been exhausted in less than a
half century. Not only have
these stores of plant food been util-
lied, but much to the discredit of
the American farmer, they have
wasted
Yet the farmer must not be too
harshly blamed. He was simply
doing the best he knew how. It
was cheaper to move to virgin soil
than to replenish his WORKOUT acres
Like the lumberman he availed
himself Of natures free gifts and
sold his produce at prices that were
reasonable, He followed the lines
of least resistance and adopted
types Of farming akin to mining.
and in the final results he drew
from the resources of the soil fertil-
ity until it was exhausted; in other
words instead of making two blades
of grass grow where one grew be-
fore. he destroyed the one that
grew. The. High Cost of Living"

How the Old English Houses We're

mon people for centuries consisted
of a wooden hut of one room, with
fire built in the center. To this hut,
if a man increased in family and
wealth, a leanto was added and
later another and another. The
roofs were Of thatch, the beds of
loose straw, or straw beds with
holsters of the same, laid on the
floor, or perhaps eventually shut in
by shelf and ledge like the berths
of a ship or by a small closet.
The Saxon thane of "knight"

large open room like the Roman
atrium with a lofty roof matched
or covered with states or wooden
shingles In the center of the hard
clay floor burned great fires of dry
wood whose thin aCrid smoke es-
capped from openings in the roof,
above the hearth or by the doors,
windows ana openings under the
caves Of the thatch.

The Maintenance of authority
Perhaps nothing gives more con-
Germ to the parent of the child in
its teens, rapidly reaching the
borders of Grown-Up-Land, than the
question of how to securely keep
hold of the guiding reins of author
ity.
Well-trained younger Children obey
either because they know no alter,
native, or they desire to obey and
please, but with the half-grown boy
or girl it is different.
Individuality begins to assert
itself in no uncertain terms, and
the parent learns she can no longer
dominate the will or cause her
child to see as she sees. This stage
in the Trainings a most trying and
delicate one for both. 1t either
marks the parting of the ways of
close companionship, or the cemente,
ing of a lifelong understanding and
comradeship-that most beautiful of
mutual possessions between parent
and child.
1t is the time-the critical time
when the parent becomes in. a
greater degree than ever the student
of young life and the interests, Of
youth. Too many parents forget
that the boy or girl cannot see things
as they see them with their acaum-
ulated years of experience. They
overlook the fact that what may
seem wholly unwise to them. ap-
pears desirable to the young people.
What seems necessary and just,
may appear arbitrary and dicta'
torial.
This is the result Of different
viewpoints, and the remedy lies in
sharing their hopes. in seeing their
pleasures as they see them; in
understanding their recreatiOns and
comprehensive; in having then
know that your heart is In their worl
and their play, that you sympathizC
