STATES GWGKISe TO DANCED
Additional Hospital Beds for the
Treatment Of the tuberculosis
Are Being Established.

Nearly 1000 additional hospital beds
for consumptiVes in 20 states were
provided during the year ending June
l, according to q statement issued by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. This
makes a total of over 10000 beds, but
only about one for every ten INDECENT
tuberculosis patients in this country.
In the last five years, the hospital
provision for consumptives has in
creased from 14.A2S in 1907. to over
10000 in 1912. or over 100 per cent

Alabama showed the greatest percent

that he had photographed the colonel
Of the same regiment, and showed the
private a copy.
Well" said the soldier, I've seen
Col. - good many times On the

South Africa, and he never looked
like that"
Yes" said the photographer, but
you must remember that the colonel
was neither on the parade ground
nor in South Africa when he, was
photographed"
We'll, but I've seen him alone, and
he always looks as if he were going
to jump down your throat. In this
you'd think he couldn't say 'bo' to 8
goose. Was he alone when he came
here?"
We'll, no." said the photographer
with unconscious irony, "he had his

The most striking feature in the structure Of
members of the OK family Is the development Of
the foot. Both the horse and the OK tribe have
developed towards the one end Of great speed over

most as completely as possible: but they have
adapted themselves In different ways. In the case
Of the horse the middle toe has been developed

on the other hand. have developed the two CEN
tral toes hence the name of their suborder. Arto-
dactyla.
This specialization has entailed an enormous
extension Of the two bones corresponding to the
middle bones Of the hand ,(metacarpals) and OF
the foot (metatarsals); these have also become
more less completely fused in the different
members of the family, consequently the joint cor
responding to the human wrist has become the
knee in oxen. Our illustrations showing the
bones of the fore foot Of various members OF
these two suborders. Artiodactyla and Perisso
dactyla (or oddtoed) will make this point clearer
than much discussion. It will be seen that the
hoofed (ungulatel animals really walk on the tip
of what corresponds to the finger nails In man
and the claws In carnivOra, and not on their feet
at all If feet are looked at from the point Of view
OF creatures like ourselves who walk in planti-
grade fashion.
One Of the most fascinating studies in connec-
ton with natural history is the way different
members Of the same family will modify and adapt
themselves to the varying local conditions to be

In Northern India, in the wellknown Tertiary

ranges ar the foot of the Himalaya, remains Of
several kinds of cattle are met with and as these
Siwalik strata are at least early Pl1Ocene, their

this Siwalik OK is distinguished by the sharp
longitudinal ridge down the middle Of the fore
head. More or less perfect skulls of very re-
markable type of OK have been obtained from
the alluvial upper Pliocene deposits of the Val
d'Arno in Tuscany, and corresponding formations
in Southern France. This extinct Etruscan OK
(B. elatus or B. etruscus) represents a distinct
subgenus known as Leptobos, and Is character
ized by the absence of horns in the cows, and by
those of the bulls arising on each side of the
skull from a point nearly midway between the
occiput and the socket of the eye; the skull it.

Another interesting progenitor of the OK is the

tions of Europe. This animal differed from the
living species in the enormous size of its horns.

ALCOHOL AND INSANITY.

Thirty per cent of the men and 10
per cent of the women admitted to the
insane asylums Of the United States
are suffering from conditions due di-
rectly to the use Of alcohol.
1t is impossible to find what percent
age of insanity can be attributed in
directly to the use Of alcohol. There
are no reliable figures which indicate
the indirect effects Of alcohol-such as
weak constitutions children inherit
from alcoholic parents.
Cut the fact that almost one third
of the male lunatics of America are the
victims of their own liquor-drinking is
enough to make every young man
stop and ask-if he can afford the
friendly glass.
Wherever scientists investigate
health conditions they make an adj
verse report to alcohol. In hospitals,
in poorhouses, in asylums-tFey dis
cover similar results. Alcohol makes
for impaired eficiency-and starts its
consumers on the downgrade.

CHEAPEST NOT E 8

The taxpayers of the Fourth and the
Fifth wards Of Fargo have selected
the cheapest paving offered on the re-
cent call for bids. In each ward there
was a big following for brick paving.
This city being so far from where the
bricks were made-the price for that
material was regarded as higher than
some of the taxpayers could afford.
Mr.. Birch had the low bid on both
brick and the b%iturninous concrete.
The latter being so cheap the majority
of the property owners selected it, ap-
parently as a makeshift. It looks like
they have made a mistake. In a few
years the concrete will be worn out
and must be replaced with something
else. Brick would have been more ex-
pensive at this time but it would have
lasted for a generation.

However, the ability to answer
these questions might well be found
