DEATHS IN MONTANA
SHOW DECREASE
BETTER SANITARY CONDITIONS
SHOW RESULTS IN LESS
MORTALITY.

Helena, Oct. 22.-(Special.)- Marked
decreases in the number of contagious
diseases in the state of Montana over
period of three years are shown by
figures in the last bulletin Of the state
board Of health. There has also been
a smarked decrease in the number of
death. due from acute intestinal dis
cases during the first nine months of
each year. In 1910 there We're 246
deaths from this caalse. In the first
1911, and to SO in 1a12 The decrease
in cases between 1910 and 1911 was
accomplished By improved sanitary
conditions" declares the report. .The
marked decrease between 1917 and
1912 is the result OF our improved
milk supply Yet for nearly a year
we received nothing but the most cut
ting condemnation for our efforts to
prevent the sale of impure milk and
these lives that have been saved, aver
100 in nine months, are certainly we'll
worth the time and money expended.
I'VE find that the deaths from diph-
liberia have shown remarkable de-
crease. The figures: 1908, 1873; 1909,
S3: 1910, 81; 1911, 80. Scarlet fever
also shows a decided decrease iii the
number Of deaths it caused. The fig
ures: 1908, so; 1909, 81; 1910, 81;
1911, 35. Typhoid fever shows a dis
oouraging year, namely, 1910, but dur
ing 1919 there was a severe outbreak
-
another at Laurel. These o,.toreaks S
we must expect in towns or localities
where the cost of pure water supply
is higher than the value placed on hu-
man life. The figures: 1908, 1923; !;
1909, Is; 1910. 147; 1911, 80
There are three diseases over
which we have very little control. All
that we can do is to make an effort
to educate the people relative to the
prevention. In one of these diseases,
namely, tuberculosis, the people are
awakening to the Importance OF its
prevention; and yet they nave not
az akened enough to show any de :
crease in the number of deaths among
the people of our state; and in the
other two diseases, namely, measles
and Whooping cough, our people still
look at these 40 harmless diseases, and
yet note the number of deaths these
diseases have caused during the last
four years; and remember that during
these four years smallpox, q disease
taat frightens a community into a
panic has cause donly two deaths.
Deaths from tuberculosis: 1908,
3l5; 1909, 800; 1910, 343; 1911. 429.
Deaths from measles: 1908, IL; 1909,
.; 1910. 16; 1911. 80. Deaths from
Whooping cough: 1908, ~; 1sO9.. &c.;
1910, 33.

Meals In the Dark Ages.

Few references can be found as to
the manner in which meal was serv-
ed and eaten during the dark ages. AS
near as we can learn. the soup was
put in big bowl with ears. called a
"porringer." There was seldom a
spoon for each person. Those who had
spoons dipped them into the porringer.
and the liquid was carried directly to
each mouth. Those who were without
spoons drank their soup from the por-
ringer, holding 1t by one Of the ears.
or else borrowed a spoon of their
neighbor. The meats were placed in
a large vessel in the center Of the TIA
Bile. Each person present at the meal
picked out with his fingers such bits
as he desired. One or two knives an
swered for half a dozen guests. Those
who We're without knives borrowed
from those who had them. AS rule,
the guests at table used their own
knives. There Is no evidence that
napkins were supplied to guests al
this period. At any rate, no mention
la made of them.

Rook and Hrook

The rock appears to have become the
bird whose name stands for swindlers
in a distinctly unfair way. At first
"rook'' meant a dupe. then the verb
'to rock" came to mean to cheat. and
out of this was evolved ''rook,"
cheater-a complete topsy turvy proc
ess. 1t is curious that the same thing
has not happened to gull" Here also
the verb came from the substa ntive
meaning q dupe. and as the gull strikes
one as rather a knowing bird ono
might have expected the same evolu,
ton as in the case Of the rock. 1t
should be observed. however, that
gull" a dupe, did not refer specially
to the sea gull, the word having for
Inerly meant young bird of any kind

est disgrace of our civilization. prosti-

In answer TO the objections COM
monty urged against the proposal. he
maintained that the system was in
harmony with the spirit of American
institutions. that it would not lead TO
socialism but would help 10 make So
cialism unnecessary, and that there
was no ground in reason or in the eN-
perience of the states of Australasia
having the system for fearing that all
wages would be forced down toward
the legal minimum. Finally, he ad-
mitted the serious practical difficult
ties in the way OF the enforcement OF
minimum wage regulations but point
ed out that great progress toward the
better enforcement of labor laws was
being made all over the United States,
and that the most conclusive answer
to practical objections is the fact that
other countries are actually making

There are land tramps and sea

The tramp steamship came into ex

states, and it is to this type of vessel
that England primarily owes her su-
premacy on the sea, she having en-

peace they add to her prosperity, and
where they enjoy a subsidy, as they
do in some instances, they are used as
transports and other auxiliaries in

ZINC SMELLING.
Not a Modern Art, Since 1t Was Known
as Early as 1898.


For many years the art of zinc smelt-
ing was supposed to be relatively mod
ern among metallurgical processes and
to be due to the invention of the Able
Daniel Dony, chemist of Liege, the
story Of whose accidental discovery in
1905 is classical.
The particular type of Belgian fur
mace may indeed be credited to Dony.
but 1t has long been doubtful whether
he was entirely unacquainted with pre-
vious undertakings. Thus it is well
known that the manufacture of spelter
was begun in Upper Silesia about 1893

the art in England (where zinc smelt-
ing was then being carried on by the

MAKING CLOUD PICTURES.
Some Useful Hints That May Help
Amateur Photographers


Amateur Photographers.
Your cloud picture depends largely
upon your choice of a subject. Rivers
and small lakes, mountains and hills
lend the best contrast, while trees in
the immediate foreground come next
Wide expenses of level lands or vast
stretches Of water are unsatisfactory.
If you desire an ocean cloud effect be
sure to place cliff or some prominent
landmark in the foreground to break
the monotony.
The exposure for cloud effects, made
necessary by the laws of light and op-
tics, is necessarily very rapid. Anon.
alous as 1t may seem. this does not pre-
suppose an extra rapid lens. In fact,
such one may defeat the very object
you hope to attain. 1 make my cloud
scenes with an ordinary rectiiinear lens
by preference. The exposure with an
eight stop should be the maximum
speed Of the ordinary shutter. If the
day is exceedingly brilliant the stop
must be correspondingly decreased
The great danger is in over exposure,
thereby dissolving Your cloud-Charles
