PREVENTION OF TUBERCULOSIS.
Health Rules Are Issued to be Used
as q Campaign Against the
Spread of the White
Plague.

culosis has just issued a one-sylla-

cover simple precautionary measures
against all diseases. The list will
shortly be printed on cards and

Pure Water-Drink pure water.
Avoid water from shallow and I'M
protected wells, and from ponds and
streams. If in doubt, boil the water.
Avoid public drinking cups.
Safe Milk--Tuberculosis, typhoid
fever and other diseases are often
caused by drinking raw milk and
raw cream. Get milk properly pas
teurized or home pasteurize it, or
simply scald it, All cream includ-
ing that used for ice cream and

5000 PER ACRE FOR FARM.
New High Mark Set for Land in
Good Old Wayne County.

w. G. Durham last Friday sold
his eighty acre farm, just north OF
Corydon, to James Wood, at 5000
per acre. This farm has been owned
by Mr.. Durham for about three
years, and we understand the in
crease in valuation during that time
has been SIS per acre. Mr.. Wood
came to Wayne county several years
ago from Jasper county and paid a
record price for the w. L. White
farm, which he sold to J. C. Marick
last year at good profit. He is a
member of what is known as the
Jasper county crowd, which has
moved to this county within the last
few years, and knows Wayne county
land is good investment and that
the price wanted by the owners is
much too low, feeling sure that all
Wayne county land will go over the
5000 mark in a short time.-Cory-
don Democrat.

FARMERS SHOULD SAVE SEED
CORN IN SEPTEMBER.
The State Agricultural College is
Giving Some Excellent Advice
and at the Right Time,

The agricultural college at Ames
is just at present giving the Iowa
farmers some most excellent and
timely advice. The professors are
telling the farmers: Save the seed
corn in September.
That is the slogan of good seed
corn campaign which is to be prose
cuted vigorously in Iowa during
the next few weeks by the extern
sion department and experiment
station of the Iowa State College.
1t is just as important to select
seed corn right in September as it is
to test it in March or April. IN
some respects it is more important,
because the selection of seed corn is
fundamental and it is a measure Of
prevention of seed corn trouble at
planting time.
eff Iowa farmers would select
their seed corn properly in Septem-
ber,' says Director W. J. Kennedy
OF the extension department, they
would add probably 10 bushels If
corn per acre to the yield in Iowa.
That is according to the estimate
OF Prof VI, l.. Mosher who has been
in close touch with corn growing in
the state for years and knows. Such
an increase in the yield would mean
an addition of probably $50, 100000
to the value Of the state corn crop.
tCi THE value Of the state corn crop.
The college viii distribute tens Of
thousands Of copies of a seed corn
pamphlet telling how and why seed
corn should be saved in September.

TWO-Headed Baby Puzzles Doctors

With two perfectly formed heads
rising from a single neck and normal
body, 3-days-old child is engaging
the scientific attention of physicians
at Josephine Hospital, Grand and
Henrietta avenues. 1t is declared
that nowhere in medical annals has
a similar prodigy been reported.
The marvellous child is the daugh-
ter Of Lola Williams, IS years old,
of De Soto, Mo. She was sent to St.
Louis by Jefferson County ply
sician Saturday and placed in
charge of DR.. F. J. Lutz, head of the
Josephine Hospital.
Details of the prodigy were hard
to obtain, owing to the reluctance OF
physicians from ethical reasons to
discuss the case.
Both heads Of the prodigy are
normally formed, it was learned
There are two complete sets of eyes,
two distinct noses and mouths.
Last night it was reported that the
child was living and taking nourish-
ment. The mother. was also doing
we'll.
While twins have been born, like
lue famous SldIneSe pair, DOunQ To-
gether by skin and ligaments, never
before, it is claimed have two bodies
been merged into one as completely
as in the case of the Williams child.
Physicians yesterday studied the
child, under an X-Ray in an effort
to solve the mystery of the duo
headed infant. A report is being
prepared that will be published
shortly in a medical Journalist.

states increased their corn yields.
During the sos and '90s Iowa had
larger corn crops on the average
than Illinois. During the next 20
years, Illinois was ahead on the av-

DINING CARS
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of CAT Good Old siwash."

A dining car Is a restaurant on wheels
which moves swiftly from plase to place
at a cost OF cents a mile for trans
portation and so cents a mile for food.
However, the shortsighted railroad Of
ficials did not follow up this great idea
and put the dining car walters on
wheels, the fixed or immovable kind be-
ing used.
Dining cars are handsomely fitted up
with mahogany furniture, flower bas-
kets, stained glass, and red and green
carpets. However. they do not contain
orchestras. For this reason many peo-
pie are passionately devoted to dining
cars and eat in them until they starve
TO death or their creditors interfere.
Dining cars travel very rapidly and
have double tracked scenery-equal por-
tions on each side The first course
usually consists of fifteen miles of
scenery. after which the diner may eat
five miles of oysters, twenty-five miles
Of steak. and fifteen mines of ice cream
without inconvenience-that Is on good
roads. On railroads suffering from SEN
lie debility OF the roadbed, eating IN a
dining car is a feat. not a pastime- I'm
less the traveller is experienced he Is
almost certain to drink his coffee with
his vest, eat his soup with his eye. and
take a large forkful of ear by mistake
while chasing his roast beef.
Dining car kitchens are so small that
all the porterhouse steaks have to be
fried lengthwIse, and the cook keeps
the salt cellar in his hip pocket to save
space. All our best jugglers and rope
walkers are recruited from dining car

THE PEOPLES FORUM
Panama Canal Treaty.

To the Editor: The proviso in the Hay
Pauncefote treaty declaring that all
nations will be treated alike in the use
OF the canal presumes a subject which
is to treat every nation alike. That sub
ject is. manifestly. the owner OF the
canal. T. e. the United States
The plain inference Is that, without
a treaty, the canal owner might favor,
for example. the trade OF Germany over
that OF Great Britain. The treaty itself
is the strongest evidence that there was
never deemed to be a complete commu-
nifty OF nations all on an equality. in
Guiding the proprietary nation. The
United States agreed that there would
customers above another. In declaring
by treaty an equalization of rights
among its customers. the United States
did not seek to weaken its property
right: on the contrary. its ownership
and consequent right to dictate terms
was recognized and generally strength
ened by treaty. Nothing contained in the
treaty indicates that II was the intention
OF this government to vacate its COM
plete general control: but there was
only the special agreement that all ma
tons dependent on its fsvors are to be
treated fairly. alike-that no customer
will be given an advantage over another
customer.
NO discrimination against any ma
tion." clearly infers the existence OF
some power outside OF the any nation
referred to, which. If it chose. in the alb
sence OF an agreement, discriminates
against any particular nation at will,
in favor OF other customer nations.
II We adopt the British view, the pro-
wise. No belligerent shall embark or
disembark troops" would prevent us
from defending our own territory effect
lively in case OF a war in which We were
involved.
The treaty. as a whole. shows through
out that the United States is considered
as the enforcing. controlling power as
regards ANY nation and as excepted
apart from any nation referred TO.
