those causing the uprising. and takes the
opportunity to mention that oven If wrong

LONDON, August %.
TT THOUGH 537 persons were killed
~ and more than 10000 injured in the
streets Of LONDON last year and the
number of accidents has been continually
increasing, ambulance and hospital facili-
ties have not kept pace with conditions, and
III is pointed out that unless special action
is taken to the contrary they are likely to
fall still further behind. with the present
tendency of hospitals to move out of the
central areas into the suburbs.
The recent announcement that ST.
Georges Hospital 1T Hyde Park Corner.
was 10 be removed 30 the country led to a
comment Of regret by Mr. Justice Ridley
in Old Bailey the other day.
!, Il wish 1t was going TO continue where
1t Is he said. Il do not know how people
are going to do without It,"
Except for THE City" which has a splen-
did electric ambulance service under con-
troll of the police. the facilities for remov-
ing and caring for persons injured in the
streets OF the metropolis are said to be
lWofully inadequate, and 1t is declared that
many lives have been lost which might have
been saved under other conditions.
Seventy per cent ~ the cases taken to
hospitals are said TO be removed in cabs
or other vehicles, while TO some extent the
old fashioned hand strctcher still survives.
At Chaplain recently an aged woman who
had fallen was allowed TO lie on the pave
ment half an hour. and was then placed in
a hand ambulance for another half hours
journey to the nearest hospital. In North
London man suffering from n compound
fracture was taken to tho Temperance Hos.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
WILSON URGES SOUTH TO
RAISE MEAT.
Agricultural Department Head Says
Much of Nations Meat Must
Come From the South.

Washington.-"A considerable por-
ton of the future meat supply of the
country must come from the South,
and this situation is becoming better
understood and more appreciated ev-
cry day. There are millions of acres
of idle land in the Southern states
that are especially adapted TO the
production of cattle, and there is no
reason why not only the beef supply
but the supply of pork for American
markets should not be produced on
the soils of the South"
The above statement was made by
Secretary of Agriculture James viii.
son in commenting upon the growing
shortage of the beef supply and the
great opportunities for cattle and hog
raising in Southern states. The sec.
rotary has always ben much inter-
ested in Southern agriculture, particu-
larly in the production of live stock.
He has, from time to time, urged on
the committees in congress the neces.
sity of the eradication of the cattle
tick, in order that the only serious
handicap to cattle production in the
South might be eliminated.
THE one thing that prevents the
South from rapidly progressing in the
production of live stock for markets
is the cattle tick pest, and that is
gradually getting under CONTROL" con-
tinues the secretary. cat present
10000 square miles of territory in
the South have been released from
the tick quarantine, and more terrific
ry is being added to this every
month.
"The tick consumes annually about
200 pounds Of blood from each head
of cattle and of course it is impossi
BILE to fatten him for market with this
great reserve.
