A CLEAN RECORD IN THE CANAL
ZONE

Those who have been following the
remarkable record of the work of SAN
itation in the Isthmian canal, and have
watched the gradual reduction of the
death-rate and the elimination of pre-
ventable disease, have hoped that be-
fore the monumental work of con-
structing the canal was finished t
might be possible for Colonel Gorgas L,
present report that would be clean as
far as death from disease is concern
ed. The report of the Department of
Sanitation for the month of August,
1918, just received shows that during
that month there were ttirty-nine
deaths from all causes among the en-
ployees of the canal commissioners. Of
these, one, a Peruvion, died of malaria;
another, Spaniard, of alcoholism, and
the third, Greek, of appendicitis. The
only deaths among white Americans
which occurred during the month were
two from violence, one due to an acct
dent on the railway and the other to
an accident in the quarry. Among the
12,481 white American men, women and
children on the Isthmus connected with
the commission that is, employees
and their families-not a single death
from disease occurred The exodus
from the Canal Zone has already be
gun; those employees whose work has
been completed are returning to the
United States with their families. The
number of American citizens resident
in the Canal Zone will probably de-
crease steadily in the future. 1t is g
fitting climax, says The Journal of the
American Medical Association, to the
work of Colonel Gorgas, which has
challenged the admiration of the civil
lized world, that the month which
probably marks the high tide of Am
erican occupancy of the Canal Zone
should have passed without a single
death from disease in the America!

DON'T GO OUT TO DINNER UNLESS
YOU ARE WILLING TO TALK

In the November Woman's Home
Companion contributor writes an
article entitled Little Courtesies OF
Social Life" in which she describes
as follows, some obligations which
people incur by accepting dinner in
vitations:
"Discourtesy is occasionally the
portion of dinner guests also. A hos
tess should make it her study to place
persons at a table so that they have b
fair chance of a pleasant evening. To
seat together couple who have alb
solutely nothing in common, unless II
may be an appetite for their dinne~,
may be a convenience to hostess,
but it is certainly not an example of
courtesy. 1t is much better not to
invite such guests at all, unless you
can make some provision for their en-
joyment beyond the satisfaction of
their hunger.
ION the other hand, do not think
anyone should accept an invitation II
a dinner who is not prepared to pay
his scot by taking his fair share in
the general and particular talk of the
table. The man and the woman who
are dinner guests should have a clear
comprehension of their duty to be
agreeable to their next neighbours on
either side, especially to their partners
and also to contribute what they can
to the general talk of the table. They
may have no attractive parlor tricks,
but they should at least turn in what
they have to the common fund OF the
evenings recreation"

HOW THE FARMER CAN MAKE
MORE MONEY

Farm and t1reS1u6, tue natural Id III
paper published at Springfield, Ohio,
contains in it's current issue an artic e
entitled "A Big Work the Farmer Has
to Do" by Wilhelmina ]. Fulton. Mrs.
Fulton understands the retail handling
OF farm products. She has been deal
ing with the middle-man and the for
mer through her market under
greensboro Bridge in New York City
for over a year Her market was
started after an investigation of food
prices had been made by a committee
of which she was chairman. She be-
lieves that consumers prices may lie
made lower and producers prices
higher if we get our products started
to the market in the right way.
She says that the first and greatest
necessity is for the farmer to come to
a more complete realization of the
fact that he himself is the merchant
supplying household needs, and that
his commodities must be arranged and
adapted to those needs. The following
is an extract:
There are a number of ways in
which the farmer might help to i'm
prove existing conditions. The first
point is the great benefit that would
accrue to the farmer from more uni
form packing. I mean uniformity of
both size and quality. For exampl :,
take a barrel of apples The com
mission men complain that in the ma
jority of case the apples in any one
barrel will run about sixty per cent
the size that first appears on opening
the BARREL and the remaining forty pei
cent will be of inferior grade and
size. Naturally, the purchaser,
wholesaler or jobber working from
experience that such is the case, takes
care that the price which he pays L
low enough to more than cover this
inequality, or, in other words, to be OF
the safe side, assumes that the con
tents are only forty or fifty per cen:
as they appear on surface inspection
In comparatively few cases only
where the farmer has established
reputation for absolutely uniforn
packing, is the reduction not made
"In the matter of potatoes, in tn
> early fall, when the greatest Unequal
ties are possible, have seen sack af
ter sack opened, containing potato
varying in size from three inches t
one inch in diameter. All had to b
sorted out and graded before the
were fit for ordinary retail sale, and
great deal could not be sold at all. d
you wonder that the wholesaler 0
jobber paid as little as possible TO
these sacks, knowing the content
