PREFERS HOGS TO CHILDREN
Farmer Gives Serum to Pigs, but Lets
Members of Family Die of
Tuberculosis. VI

Asserting that the state pays more
attention to the protection of hogs
from cholera than it does to protect
ing the people from tuberculosis, DR.
H. M. Bracken, secretary of the State
Board Of Health, Monday issued a
statement showing conditions the
board has discovered in the family OF
a certain farmer. DR.. Bracken said:
"An inspector sent to investigate
this case, found a well-to-do farmer
with farm Of 800 acres worth 500
an acre, a breeder of horses, and a
breeder of registered hogs, was among
the first in the state to give his hogs
the serum protective against cholera.
Have Fourteen Children
"About sixteen years ago his first
wife died of tuberculosis, leaving three
children. He married again and the
family now consists of father, mother
and fourteen children. A daughter of
the second wife, Is years old, died last
August of tuberculosis. A son of the
first wife, 10 years old, has been i'll
with tuberculosis for at least two
years. No precautions have been
taken to prevent his injecting others.
No Medical Supervision
"The mother, with one newly-born
child, and another too young to walk,
is responsible for the care of this fam
lily. There appears to be no medical
supervision of the case Of tuberculosis.
Apparently this farmer can appre-
ciate the breeding of horses and the
protection of hogs from hog cholera,
but cannot appreciate the danger Of
tuberculosis to his family and others.
Annual Loss 100000
"The annual loss in the State of
Minnesota caused by the death of wage
earners from tuberculosis is about
81, 100000. The number of deaths
annually from this disease is about
$3.50. The estimated number of cases
is 10000

THREE COAST LEACUERS GO TO BIG BRUSH

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. a.
Here are three of the minor
leaguers who go to the big brush
by the draft route from the Pa
cific Coast league.
OF the trio the stars are prob
ably Johnston, center fielder for
the Frisco Seals, and James,
pitcher of the Portland club.
Jimmie Johnston. who joins the
Chicago Cubs, is famous for steal
ing bases. He holds the record in
the Coast league-100 stolen
bases stands a good chance
of smashing the worlds record Of
ia.
Don't get the idea," says Jim
mic. that because my name is
Johnston that / am Swede. The
t. in the last name proves 1 am
Irish"
James will join the st. Louis
Americans. He is something of a
record buster, himself. He struck
out IL men in a nine-inning game,
and allowed only three hits. This
is the best record in the Coast
league. His best asset Is speed.
James was let loose by the Bos-
ton Americans last year because
he wasn't quite ripe. And John
ston was released by the Chicago
White Sox. 1t is maintained that
Jimmie Callahan didn't give him
fair shake.
The drafting of Mite, captain
of the Oakland squad, by the St.
Louis Americans, was quite q sur
prise, as he hasn't shown any phe-
nomenal class this season.

WOODEN SHOES MADE IN TIE I'M

In this country beech is tho favoritc
material for wooden shoes, the manufac-
ture of which has reached considerable
proportions in the United States. accord
ing to the department of agriculture.
which has just ISSUED bulletin on the
use Of the wood, These shoes the de-
partment says, cost from 60 to Is cents
pair and are good for two years They
are worn by those who have to work in
cold or wet places, such as tannaries
brewerles and livery stables. and by
workmen in steel mills ana glass fac
tories who must walk on hot CRATES or
floors. Farmers, too, are classed among
the users.
Beech wood is put to n very much wider
range OF uses than tine average person
would be likely to suspect. The depart
ment says beech enters into hundreds Of
articles from hobbv-horse rockers to
butchers blocks. We walk on beech
floors, eat off beech picnic plates. carry
beech baskets, play with beech toys, sit
on beech chairs, and in dozens of other
ways use articles made OF beech almost
every day Of our lives. Its freedom from
taste fits the wood especially for articles
which come in contact with foOdstuffs
and beech meat boards. skewers, larc
tubs, butter boxes, sugar hogsheads, re.
frigerators, dishes spoons and scoops are
widely used.

THE future holds,
Somewhere. the day that will unite your

Demanding entrance to its sister days.

When there is any great work to dc

one Of the most stupcBdous tasks that

the physical valuation Of the railroads Of

Not only is this a recognition Of Mr..

In yielding go much of our best blood
to other States and more populous cen

to the laws of natural selection and So
cial development in it's broader sense as
result of the operation of modern in
vention and economic influences.
The railroad and the telegraph and the
press have brought MS into intimate
touch with all parts of the world, and
travel is now so easy that families move
with the utmost freedom too and fro

The problem has been discussed in all
