ADVISES VACCINATION
OF HIS EMPLOYEES,
Secretary Wilson Warning on Typhoid.
10 Not Compulsory.

War on typhoid fever was declared
by the department Of agriculture in q
recommendation approved by Secre
tary Wilson that all the 1880 employ.
ees of the department be yaccinated
against typhoid.
Secretary Wilson's action followed
the report of special committee of
three appointed by him to look into
the ACCESSIBILITY of recommending that
all the employees of the department
be vacctnated against the disease.
II was explained that the department
cannot compel Its employees TO submit
10 the vaccination, but the department
expressed a strong hope that the re-
quest that the employees be vacci-
mated would be acceded TO. Secretary
Wilson gave his hearty approval Of
the plan, He pointed out that Of the
1000 employees of the department
outside OF the District of Columbia
many are engaged In travelling about
the country during at least a part Of
the year To protect them from the
dangers Of impure water the vaccina-
ton against typhoid has been recon-
mended.
Secretary Wilson said that the sug-
gestion came from the war depart
ment. During the Mexican revolution
the war department had had many of
the United States soldiers stationed
along the Mexican border vaccinated
against typhoid and those vaccinated
escaped the disease. while many OF
those who were not suffered from ty-
phoid.

said Secretary Wilson. II Immediately

slider the matter. Ii has reported ia. |
vorably to me, and | have approved |

circular to be sent to all the employ
ees of the department. advising them
to be vaccinated against typhoid re-
yer, Any physician, the circulars viii

A similar recommendation, Il is I'M

Mr.. Burbank broke some branches

GETTING RID OF SPARR0WS.
Unexpected Results From Experiments
by the Government.


Experiments conducted by Dr. A. E.
Fisher Of the government biological
survey In the trapping and poisoning
OF English sparrows have developed
unexpected results. The government
scientists have established the fact
by years observation that sparrows
cling to prescribed localities and that
an entire space can be trapped clear
Of them.
The extensive grounds of the agri-
cultural department. In the heart Of
Washington. have been practically
made sparrow free. At the same time
flocks of the birds range up and down
the streets that bound the depart
ment's park. 1t is the belief of the
experts that style Of trap can be de-
vised cheap enough to be universally
used.

PORTER co.
IS MUCH
WORRIED


Porter county people, especially those
who live around Chesterton and Good
rum, are excited over the appearance OF
real estate agents in the vicinity who
are taking options on farm lands.
Whether 1t is colonization scheme or
whether the Standard Oil company is
about to reopen its Porter county oil
fields, remains to be seen. The follow
ing is from the Chesterton Tribune:
"One of the biggest colonization pro-
jects ever carried out in the Calumet
region is planned near Goodrum on
the Air Line. If carried out to sue
cess 1t will mean the addition of nearly
1000 more population to that vicinity.
So far the scheme has progressed no
farther than the securing of options on
farm lands in that vicinity. Among
those who have given options on their
farms are Messrs. Henry Dietrich. C
Rhoda Henry Ameling. Henry Atchi-
| son. VIM. Sanders. These are not all
| who have been approached by the
agent of a purported colony of Fin
| landers. who propose to locate here and
engage in truck farming
"Other farmers have been approached
with a proposition to buy. II is said that
| a total of about 1000 acres are now I'M

provide for a uniform payment of
$3.50 per acre for the land. Ten per
cent of this amount is to be paid on
| Dec. 23rd of this year, and the bal
| ance of the purchase price by Feb. 18th.
| 1912 at which time possession of the
/ farms is to be given. Only 81 is bein &
! paid by the agent for the options. 50 his
| risk is not very great should he decide
| TO abandon the undertaking before the
! time comes for further payment on the
] land. 1t is said that the agent claims
| to represent a number of rich Finnish
people in Chicago. and that they are
| buying the land with a view of sub
dividing it into small tracts of three 10
Ave acres. and establish colony OF
| their own people.
One farmer with whom a Chestertor
| Tribune representative talked this
| week, held the opinion that representa-
tives of the Standard Oil company are
taking this means to secure the options
with view of re-openiug the oil wells
that were dug in this vicinity some
time ago but this is considered improb
able by those who are well informed
Others seem TO think that some live
real estate man is securing the option:

of establishing a town site and sellins

At any rate the agent who is secur

himself. and much of the information
secured is little more than guess work

OLD AND NEW
TYPES COMPARED

Philadelphia. Pa, Aug. 24-Compari-
son between the largest passenger To-
comotives built for the Pennsylvania
railroad and the oldest locomotive in
America shows the progress made
since the first railroad train was put
into service at Bordertown, y. J., on
the Camden and Amboy railroad in 1881
eighty years ago. The oldest locomo-
tive the John Bull" is still intact in
the national museum in Washington.
The locomotive. which the Pennsyf-
vania railroad has adopted for heavy
passenger service. is of the Pacific type
and it is the most powerful passenger
locomotive in use on the line. The To-
connective and tender of the new engine.
when loaded with coal and water
weigh about 400. 900 pounds. The John
Bull" loaded for operation, weighed
about 24,625 pounds, about one-seven-
tteenth as much as the new engine.
which has six driving wheels eighty
inches in diameter The driving wheels
OF the old engine were only fifty four
inches.
The boiler of the new locomotive con-
tains $50 tubes. each 20.9 feet long.
making total of nearly a mile and a
half of q. inch tubes. through which
the flames and heat from the fire box
pass on their way to the stack The
heating surface of the tubes is- 4,420e
square feet. and. in addition. the fire
box has heating surface OF 1898
square feet. This space is heated to q
high temperature to convert the water
in the boiler to steam al a pressure OF
205 pounds per square inch. The tubes
in the John Bull'' were seven and one
half feet long and the tube heating
surface was only 213 square feet
