Makes Attack on
Accounting Methods

Problems confronted In leases, the
payment Of fictitious salaries and the
slip-shod methods Of keeping depre-
citation accounts. were laid bare to the
school Of accountancy at the Y. M. G..
A. last night by Luther F. speer, at
the opening Of the winter term.
Mr.. Speer stated corporations had
been known to pay salaries to persons
who had never participated in the bust
ness and that cases of woeful negli-
gence and peculiar records Of corpora
lions were a source Of annoyance until
the corporation tax law of 1906. He
said more than 100000 corporations were
affected by this law. Many of the
larger problems were dealt with by Mr..
Speer.

Mr.. Berger declared today he had pre-
scented his bill in consideration Of the
fact that most Of Uncle Sans employees
have not received q raise In pay for the
last nifty years. He believes the es-
tablishment OF the storage provided for
would go long way toward the better
ing Of conditions Of these workers.
A news Item sent out of the Ma

washington retailers undoubtedly
will oppose Berger's plan. They prefer
that Uncle Sam should raise his en-
ployes' pay SO that they could make
their business even more profitable than
It Is now"

New Methods Of
Treating Consumption
No Longer Necessary for Patients to
Seek Dry Climates.

After a number of years of sue
cessfully fighting Consumption in the
various countries OF Europe, there
has been brought to the United States
preparation which bids fair to take
the lead in the war on the Great
White Plague.
This preparation, which IL called
"Sirolin," does away with the neces-
sity OF the patient seeking q dry eli
mate. and obtains just as remarkable
results in the dampest localities.
There Is scarcely prominent ply
stefan In Europe who is not prescrib-
ing Sirolin with remarkable results,
and the medical profession in our
own Country have also taken It up.
You can learn more about Sirolin
by addressing The Sirolin Company,
22S West Broadway. New York City.
All leading druggists are recon-
mending and distributing Sirolin with
considerable success.

Scout Movement Seeks

Lieutenant General Sir Robert S. S. Baden Powell, recogni

in Portland, Oregon, u month ago, is much gratifed with the sue.
cess he had in that meeting. He answered the questions of the So

Scout movement seeks not as does socialism to cure present evils
but to prevent their temperance in the present generation.
"Our attitude to the Boy Scout movement" he writes, is
that we do not wish to be in conflict with any political, educationaI
or religious body, but we are very glad to have their advice or sg
gestons.'
'Our aim is to be at peace with all, and to do our best in our
own particular line, which, as it happens, is in its intentions as
near that of the socialist as any.
Probably the majority of us are in sympathy with the So
ciahst aim though we NAV not altogether see with the same eye the
practicability of some of its details or its methods.

South DakOta's Boss Cow

College Belle Wayne, No 95497, a 5-year old Holsteln COW, owned
by the state college at Brookings, has just attained the highest
monthly record of av COW owned by any agricultural college in
the United States. Her thirty-day official test last month of 3 1881
pounds of milk, containing 116 IS pounds of butter fat, has been
beaten by only one COW in the world, namel, Pontiac Lady Korn.
dyke, No. 90, 700 The Brookings cows daily average during the
test was 111.27 pounds of milk, 3.88 pounds fat and 485 pounds of
butter. This is the highest record ever produced by any COW west
of New York. Two Important facts in connection with the test are
that the COW was not forced in order 10 produce this record and it
was produced on South Dakota feeds.
College Belle Wayne was bred and raised at the state college.
Professor Larson states that by forcing. her record could have
been raised. but this was undesirable because she is working on a
yearly test. She is of excellent Hostein type and before freshen-
ing weighed 1890 pounds in good average condition. When the
yearly test is completed, Prof. Larson expects to make an excel
lent report concerning this great COW.
During the official test she was fed and MIXED four times a day.
The daily ration in four meals was ground corn 4 pounds, ground
oats (one-third whea) pounds, old process oil meal 4 pounds, bran
| s pounds, She was also fed sliced beets with the grain, corn silage
and clover and alfalfa hay.
