MADE STUDY OF EPIDEMIC
Young American Doctors Braved Death
to Investigate Causes of Dread
Pneumonia Plague.

In the fourteenth century an cpl.
demic known to students as the black
death swept over the larger part of
the civilized world. 1t started in
northern China, worked its way west
ward. and ultimately destroyed 25,000,-
600 people in Europe, one-fourth OF
the total population Two years ago
this same disease, now scientifically
rechristened the pneumonia plague,
started again in its old medieval birth
p1ace-and in less than three months
destroyed $4,000 people,
This recent outbreak in Manchuria
lis the first time the disease in extern
siye epidemic form has visited the
civilized world in 500 years 1t was
the first opportunity that modern med
ical science has ever had to study the
disease at first hand.
Two young Americans, DR., Richard

the face of all kinds of dangers and

the Chinese having prevented expert

MONEY FROM CHICKEN FARM
California Woman Has Proved That
Such an investment May Be
Made to Pay Well.

Mrs. Annie Beasley recently saw the
possibilities of chicken farming, and
she turned to California for an ideal
climate. She started with a small cot
tage and one acre of ground-but she
started right. Today she owns a ranch
of several acres and confesses she has
an annual income of handsome proper
tons.
Her first flock consisted of one
rooster and seven hens, but all were
pure bred-bought at the Los Angeles
poultry show. That year she had only
two chicken houses, but the next year
increased them to four, and the follow
ing to eight. Now she hasa big ranch,
but the strain of her poultry has al
ways been kept pure, so her prize win
lers are worth the $25 she charges for
them-and they eat no more corn than
mongrels.
Incubators and breeders are kept
running all the year except in July,
August and September, and the little
flocks, as they come along, are divid-
ed for shows and shops. The perfect
specimens are ready to be groomed
with washings and bluing. and the
others receive three times a day all
they will eat of milk, oatmeal and
grain to fatten them. Mrs. Beasley
has found that it is even more profit
able to sell egg at SO a setting than al
so cents a dozen.

END SLAUGH ] ER OF BABIES
The school committee of the Chi
cagO Federation of Labor was yes
terday instructed to investigate the
rapidly increasing death rate among
children, following the adoption of a
resolution presented by Mary O'Reil-
ly, representing the Teachers Fed
Grafton.
Miss O'ReiIly showed a chart of
figures that proved in itself a striking
arraignment of city that spent over
a million dollars on voting machines
and scarcely anything for the care of
the poor.
This is the resolution adopted:
Whereas, The reports Of the
Health Department show LTD
deaths from contagious diseases for
the first seven months of the year,
an increase of 651, and total num-
Der of 42,528 cases, an increase Of
1896 cases, the increase being .caUs-
ed by an epidemic of preventable,
contagious diseases of children, and
Whereas, The city now faces a re-
neWed outbreak of the epidemic, up
on the opening of the schools, be-
cause Of lack Of proper protection of
school children from contagion and
lack of proper protection Of homes
and food supply, and
Whereas, The cases of diphtheria,
scarlet fever and measles alone cost
the people of Chicago 1O,326, TAP in
six months, a burden which, with the
suffering and sorrow, has been borne
by the workers of Chicago; therefore
