Missouri Cattle Top Markets.

In recent interview w. L. Nelson,
assistant secretary of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture, calls at
tention to the fact that Missouri cattle
have repeatedly topped the Kansas
City, st. Louis and Chicago markets
during this remarkable era of record
breaking prices. So rapidly have
Missouri steers smashed the records
that it is hard to keep up with them.
On August S and 6, steers from this
state topped the Kansas City, St.
Louis and Chicago markets and broke
existing price records of at least two
of these places. At. St. Louis thirty
three head of 1519-pound steers sold
at SOLO per hundred weight. The
same day a load of 1457-pound steers
from another Missouri county sold at
$40 per hundredweight on the Kan
sas City market. At the same time
another load of cattle shipped from
Illinois but bred in Missouri, made the
Chicago top of SOTO.
On September IL, three loads of
beeves from Moniteau county, NO.,
established a new price record on
the St Louis market by selling at
5000 per hundredweight. The
same feeder had previously sold a
load of 1822-pound steers at 10 cents
per pound, or 1892 per head, be-
lieved to be the he highest price per
head ever realized on a market. The
record price, 5000 per hundred
weight, make on the Chicago market
Sept II, must be credited to a load of
1704-pound steers shipped from Him
OILS but bred in Missouri. On Sep
TENDER IA, a car load Of cattle was |
shipped from Columbia and sold on |
the St Louis market for 469.6
Missouri easily rapls IS the greatest
cattle feeding state in the union.

development of this disease.
Tuberculosis is germ disease, and il
communicable" states the report. CLOSE

Of business; little or no ventilation, ans
associated with these a case or so of con.
sumption. form an excellent combinations
for increasing the victims of this disease.
Certain trades. especially those accom-.
panied by the production of dust, are
particularly dangerous.
Stonemasons, cigar makers, glass cut
tiers and workers in metals are especially
susceptible. Dust breathed into the lungs
becomes source of irritation and a con-
dition is created thereby favorable for
the growth and multiplication of the tu-
bercule bacillus. 1t is, therefore. advisa-
BILE, no matter what the occupation, but
especially in those that are dust-produc-
ing. to have a full and proper ventila-
ton, with abundance of fresh pure air
at all times"
According to the report, H. persons
died in the District during the week
ended May 4. This number is lower than
that of the corresponding week a year
ago. when there were lis deaths. The
death rate for whites is said to he con-
sidera bly, lower than the average rate for
that race during a number of years past,
but the colored death rate corresponds
closely to the average of that race.

the Senate by Senator Gallinger, fixing
the water rates in the District of CO.

feet if allowed to stand 1t is also the
desire of the association that sufficient
water meters be kept in stock so that
residents in the suburbs may obtain them
when desired, owing to the claim made by
some that their rates for water are ex-
cessive.
The possibility of inducing the Capital
Traction Company to extend its lines into
AnacoStia, preferably by way OF Mime
sofa avenue. was discussed, and it was
decided to draft bill and endeavor to
have it introduced in Congress requiring
the company to make the extension.
A letter was read from the interstate
commerce commission regarding the
charge by the association of discrimina-
ton against the railway and baggage ex-

ton of continuing as a member of the
permanent committee, now being formed,
while the remaining members were dis
charged with the thanks of the aSsocla-

NEXT SUNDAY MOTHERS DAY.
Observance by Wearing White Car
nation Will Be General Here.

Next Sunday is Mothers day, and it's
observance will be general in Washing
ton as we'll as in other sections of the
country The recognition Of the day by
the wearing of white carnations or some
other white blossom has become general
all over the United States, although
Mothers day is an anniversary estab-
lished only four years ago.
The first observance of the day was in
1908, when, without any apparent public
ity, the people of the United States gen.
orally observed the second Sunday in
May as Mothers day. Nobody seems to
know just how the observance originated,
although "a Philadelphia young woman.
Miss Anna Jarvis, whose home then was
at 2O31 North 10Th street, Is credited with
having been the moving spirit. Miss
Jarvis idea originally was to observe the
anniversary of her mothers death, but
this idea took the form of an annual trib-
ute to all mothers, living as we'll as
dead, and the day became a xed observ-
ance within a single year. The motto
for Mothers day is white flowers for
mothers memory; bright flowers for
mothers living
In choosing the white carnation as the
flower to be worn on Mothers day Miss
Jarvis said:
'Its whiteness stands for purity: its
fragrance, love; its wide field of growth.
charity; it's lasting qualities, faithful
ness-all true mothers attributes"

URGES POOLS IN SCHOOLS.
Capt. Tom Reilly Says Swimming I
Best Exercise.

That swimming pools should be intro
duced in the public schools is the belief
expressed by Capt. tom" Reilly of New
York, long distance swimmer, who arriv-
ed here last evening. Capt. Reilly. who
was the first man to introduce swimming
pools into the Young Mems Christian AS
sociations, declared that swimming les
sons would be better than basket ball
and similar games.
He said that when young boys and girls
were turned loose in a gymnasium they
generally undertook exercises too heavy
for them, and as a result often injured
themselves.
Swimming is a cure for these two
evils" he said. PUT q young man or
woman into a swimming tank and with a
suitable depth of water there is no posi-
BILE means of them injuring themselves.
The construction of swimming pools is
easy and cheap, but the results would
warrant any expenditure"
