Pastures should be improved. If
there was good stand of grass, weeds
would not grow. The trouble is, the
pasture is packed hard. Water runs off
when it rains instead Of soaking in. In
other words, the pasture is sod-bound.
Here is the way to handle such a
pasture: AS soon as the frost goes out
of the ground this spring, and befol e
we get busy with the regular farm
work, we should use a disk drill and
thoroughly cut up the pasture, at the
same time drilling in from eight to 10
pounds to the acre of red clover seed on
the high lands and alsike clover seed on
the low lands.
Here is the result. The drill loosens
the sod-bound condition of the old pas
ture and lets the air down to the roots,
stimulating more vigorous growth and
spreading the plants so that where one
plant grew last year, two will grow
this year and both of them will grow
better. In addition, the clover seeds
will fall on those bare spots where
weeds grew last year, and clover, one
Of the best feeds in the world, will
grow this year. Cows will be able to

In New York, for example, upward
of two hundred thousand persons were
arraigned before the police magistrates
during the year 1910, and another hun
dred thousand were probably brought
into their courts by summons, writes
Frederick Trevor Hill in the May Cen
fury. Over this huge army of people,
many of whom are entirely innocent of
any offense, the magistrates exert an
almost undisputed sway; for their de-
cisions are, in nine cases out of ten,
absolutely final.
In other words, they pass judgment
upon the personal liberty and rights of
more than twenty-five thousand citizens
every month of the year, and save in a
few instances their decisions are &C
cepted without appeal or review of any
kind. No other tribunal in the land
administers justice on so vast a scale
or everts anything eXen approaching so
unbridled power tits at once a court
of first and last resort, presided over by
a Cadi, supreme arbiter of the facts and

What is designated by The National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, in a statement
issued today, as the most advanced
legislation in the campaign against
tuberculosis that has been enacted by
any state in the United States, if not
by any country in the world, is found in
a bill just passed by the New Jersey
Legislature and signed by Governor
Wilson.
The new law provides that tubercu-
losis patients who refuse to obey the
regulations laid down by the State
Board of Health concerning the preven-
ton of their disease, and thus become
menace to the health of those with
whom they associate, shall be COM
pulsorily segregated by order of the
courts, in institutions provided for this
purpose. If such patient refuses to
obey the rules and regulations of the
institution in which he is placed, he
may "be isolated or separated from
other persons and restrained from leav-
ing the institution. The law further
provides that all counties in the State
of New Jersey shall within six months
from April LIST, make provision in spec
ial institutions for the care of al
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to the extent of So. OC
a week for each person maintained ir
these institutions except those who are
able to pay for the cost of maintenance
Commenting upon this legislation
The National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis say:
that this is the most advanced legisla
ton of its kind that has ever beer
enacted in this country by any state
legislature. The only other state which
provides for compulsory segregation Of
dangerous cases of tuberculosis, il
Maryland. The only city in the United
States which has adopted a special ordi
nance providing for compulsory remova
of dangerous tuberculosis cases, is Sar
Francisco. A few other cities, such a.
New York, exercise this power unde
certain provisions of their sanitar,
codes, but no other city has any specia
ordinance on the subject.
The National Association declare
that a consumptive who exercises suffi
cient precautions in the disposal of hi
sputum need not be a menace to any
one. The association goes further
however, in saying that when a con
sumptive refuses to adopt the prope
precautions necessary to prevent thu
spread of his disease, he should b,
forcibly isolated and segregated in
special hospital provided for that pur
pose.

DR.. B. T. Galloway, chief of the Blu
reau of Plant Industry, Department of
Agriculture, has tested samples of corn
from all parts of the country and found
a very low average of termination. In
his report he advises farmers to be
particularly careful in the planting of
corn this spring. He says: eve tested
nearly two thousand samples and found
that the average termination was only
81 per cent. whereas it should have
been 80, and the average termination
was the lowest in the large corn grow
ing states. l advise the farmers to
plant the best seed they can get. They
should use selected corn on the cob,
each ear of which has been tested for
termination, and if they have to use
shelled corn should test it and plant
enough, depending on the percentage
of termination to insure good stand. y

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED
Badness is too Generally Con-
sidered a Sign of Advanced
Ace.

A bald headed person does not have an
equal chance with one blessed with a
healthy head of hair. because badness is
too generally accepted as an indication
of age. Many large corporations have
established an age limit, and refuse to
take men over 80 years of age as new
employees.
Probablp 66% of bald.headed people
may regain good head of healthy hair
if thew will follow our advice and accept
our offer. We have remedy that we
positively guarantee to grow hair on
any head, unless the roots of the hair
are entirely dead their follicles closed,
and the scalp has become glazed and
shiny. We want people to try this
remedy at our risk, with the distinct
understanding that unless it does ex-
actly what we claim it will, and gives
satisfaction in every respect, we shall
make no charge for the remedy used
during the trial.
We know exactly what we are talking
about, and with this offer back of our
statements no one should scott, doubt
our word, or hesitate or put our remedy
to an actual test.
We want every one in Middlebury who
is suffersng from any scalp or hair
tTouDle, udHuIulli ldilluR mar or Dalu-
ness to try our Rexall "93" Hair Tonic.
We want them to use it regularly-say
until three bottles have been used-and
if it does not eradicate dandruff, cleanse
and refresh the scalp, tighten the hair in
its roots, and grow new hair, we will
return every cent paid us for the remedy
for the mere asking. There is no
formality expected, and we exact no
obligation from the user whatever.
We are established right here in Mid
dlebury, and make this offer with full
understanding that our business success
entirely depends upon the sort of treat
ment we accord our customers, and we

The most appalling fact about the
loss of the Titanic is that it was so
needless. The inexpressible distress
felt by the entire world, as the details
of the affair pile up is increased by the
knowledge that the horror might have
been avoided in several ways within the
range of human foresight and caution.
1t was not IAN act of Cod that sent
the great ship to the bottom with more
than 1900 souls. 1t was the folly and
greed of man.
Lifeboats and space for life-saving
equipment on the decks have been
sacrificed in order that the steamship
companies might compete for the pat
ronage of wealthy travellers who have
demanded with ever increasing selfish
ness the Injuries of palatial hotels and
millionaires' country houses during the
Atlantic passage. Promenades, OBJ
servation parlors, gymnasiums, tennis
courts, dance halls, gorgeous suites of
rooms fit to house a royal court have
crowded off the decks the lifeboats
which were worth all the Aston millions
when the Titanic went down. The
ships dead are wanton sacrifice to
pampered and comfort-lo loving genera
ton.
Nor was there need of the Titanic,
after receiving so many warnings of
the presence of the ice field ahead,
plunging into it and mourning the aw-
full hazard of collision. 1t is we'll es-
tabished that the captain was repeat
eddy informed by wireless that there
was ahead of him heavily packed ice
field with "a great number of bergs.
The ship could have turned to the south
and her captain could have escaped all
peril by mere detour. Why did he
keep straight on instead?
1t is useless to ignore the fact that
captains of great liners, especially
when those timers are on their first
trips; are expected by their employers
to make "quick runs" and advertise the
ship and the line to the travelling pub
lie. The southerly detour would have
been fatal to the eclat and splendor of
maiden voyage. The company's
Golfers would haye been less full at the
end of the fiscal year. The captain,
feeling that pressure from his en-
ployers, whose managing director was
on board, had the nerve to take the risk

twenty-four hours, says the Youth S
Companion. The vapor is heavier than
air, and therefore sinks to the floor.
Unless disturbed, it will remain there
for hours, and by mixing with the air,
form an explosive compound about seven
times as powerful as gun powder. One
pint of gasoline will make two hundred
cubic feet of this compound. 1t is not
necessary that a lighted match come in
contact with it, A spark struck by a
nail in a shoe will explode it. So will a

other articles, there is only one safe
place to do the work. That is outdoors
where the danger from such explosions
is eliminated.

Benefits Resulting From Linking the

ways to Panama Canal Ship
ping Are Urged.

Observation-Disclosures congressional
action to provide millions of dollars for
the project of connecting the great lakes
and the Gulf of Mexico was urged on
the senate committee on commerce by a
delegation of the Lakes-to-the-gulf
Deeper Waterways Association, headed
by President w. X Kavanaugh, of st.
Louis.
Isham Randolph and Lyman E. Cooley
of Chicago and others pointed out that
the Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi val
leys ould be vastly benefited, practical
ly, by linking the commerce of the in
land waterways and the Panama canal,
now approaching completion.
Mr.. Kavanaugh told the COMMITTEES
that the people of the Mississippi valley
for many years had been fighting for a
fourteen-foot waterway, and that there
should be a deepening of the channel i'll
stead of building up the levees.
Mr.. Randolph, consulting engineer Of
the deep waterways association, com
pared the reluctance to appropriate for
such a project and the enormous ex:
penditures for the Panama canal, far
from any American sea port. He said
the waterway would not divert the lake
to the canal and predicted
that it would largely increase lake
| traffic.
