FARMER SAYS WOOL TARIFF
 DOES NOT BENEFIT HIM

A farmer, writing in the current issue of Farm and Preside, shows how he gets nothing out of high tariff on wool and how the laboring man who buys clothing at high prices gets nothing He makes the following
 Although I am one of the pro- ducers of wool, it seems to me ex-. ceedingly unfair to have this high protective tariff con wool, for which the farmer who produces wool gets so little benefit The farmer who does not produce the wool is certainly not benefited, and how about the thousands of laboring men and their families who have to pay twice as much for their wOolen goods as they should be forced to pay were there no tariff?
 .aThere are thousands of families in this class that are improperly clad every winter on account of this wool tariff Who is reaping the benefit of their suffering? It is certainly not the farmer who is producing the wool.
 Were the tariff removed and. the price of woolen goods cut in about half, the retailer would be selling more than twice as much goods and would be taking as much less margin of profit than now. That Is the con- dition just across our line in Canada. A suit of good woolen clothes there costs about one half what it does in the United States. Even though two stores selling the same kind of goods may not be ten miles apart, as is the case of the stores in Detroit and Windsor, yet poor man living in Detroit cannot go over to Windsor and buy a suit and return with it without paying duty enough on it to make it cost him as much as it would in Detroit"

TYpHUs FEVER AND BODY LICE

There has recently been a renewed interest in that old-fashioned disease, typhus fever, which had become so rare and apparently was so thorough ly under control as to be quite neg hgible in this country. It has been found that typhus fever may be giv- en to monkeys by the bites of body lice which have previously bitten human patients suffering with the disease or monkeys which have been infected with it in the laboratory The U. s. Public Health and Marine-Hos-. pital Service declares that cit seems likely that the body louse is probably the usual distributing agent by which
 the disease is carried from individual to individual. Observation seems to show almost beyond doubt that typhus fever is not spread by direct contact with the patients suffering from the
 disease unless the contact is of such
 a kind that the exchange of body lice
 become possible" In the light of this
 modern demonstration some we'll
 known traditions with regard to the
 intense contagiousness of typhus gain additional interest. In older times typhus was called jail-fever or ship fever, evidently because of the oppor- tunities for the spread of the disease afforded by the intimate living condi- tions necessitated by the small crowd ed ships and jails of the old time. A number of stories are told of judges, lawyers, jurymen and spectators be- ing stricken with the disease within a day or two after prisoners suffering from typhus were brought into court. The Journal of the American Medical
 Association says that we can only conclude from our present knowledge that in the crowded stuffy conditions of the Old-time cOurt-rOOmS it was not impossible that body or clothing
 lice found opportunities to pass from
 prisoners to more promising food ma terial

PASSED BAD CHECKS WEST
c. A. Kendall of New Milford, Conn.
 in Los Angeles Jail.

Los Angeles, April 30.-Charged with having passed worthless checks aggre- gating more than $1,000, c. A. Kendall of New Milford, Conn.,, was arrested in Pomona, Saturday, and in default of s5,0OO bail was placed in the county jail here.
 Kendall, who is about twenty-five years old, telegraphed his aunt, Mrs. D. G. Mallory, of New Milford, Conn.,, to send him money. with which to set tie. He says he is a graduate of a Pennsylvania college.
 Kendall spent money freely, dressed well and drove a rented automobile. According to the police, he induced ac- auaintances to introduce him to some bank or business house. where he would cash a check on the First Ma tional Bank of New Milford. In most instances the check bore the signature of Mrs. Mallory. They have been re- turned from the New Milford bank marked "FOrgery.''

W. I. STEAD HEARD FROK
Pastor of Church of The Soul Has Been In Touch With His Astral
 Self She Ayers.

An aftermath of the Titanic cala- mity is a spirit message, alleged to have been received in Chicago by Mrs. Cora l.. W. Richmond, pastor of the Church of the Soul. from the late William T. Stead, prominent sptr- dtualtst and editor of the English Re- view of Reviews at the time he went down with the Titanic, in which Mr. Stead describes the wreck and hiG own sensations of drowning, with the welcome he and the other victims re- cetved in the astral world. He said that he was expecting the disaster from a warning that the vessel was doomed imparted to him by a son. upon whose death he had embraced splrituallsn. and that he. knew the ship would sink as soon as she struck the iceberg. The medium quoted Mir. Stead as saying that he was ready for the great transition, and that it was less of a shock and far less distress ing to him than to those who were taken unawares, and unprepared to be separated from their loved ones. He told of the spirits of inconsolate victims following the lifeboats over the sea, in grief-stricken effort to rejoin their own.
 But, according to the mystic narra- tiOn, welcoming and comforting i'm f1uences from the other planes event. ually soothed them. MT. Stead's mes sage. as recounted by Mrs. Richmond, attributes the loss of life to oyercon- fidence in the strength of the steam ship, and to the great shortage of lifeua
