SUGGESTS CHANGES TO
IMPROVE THE FAIR

Cottage Hill, Jan 80, '1S.
Editor Journal:
The subject of the fair has been be-
fore your readers recently and makes
this very proper time to suggest a
few changes which to my mind mean
improvement. do not propose to Ell
large upon these suggestions farther
than to state my reasons, leaving dis
cussion to the readers of The Journal.
Let the fair be four days in
length. The fourth commandment has
not become a dead letter to Chris
tian people, and this change will give
all who take part in the fair a chance
to set up and remove exhibits and be
altogether more satisfactory to visitors
who hitherto have often found things
in an unfinished condition.
2.-Let there be one lady on the
awarding committee in case of county.
community or individual exhibits.
3.-Let more attention be given to
the real value Of articles in comnun
pills in the public schools, for example;
rather than to number. Worthless
articles may help to win the prize
that Is offered when numbers count
for much. but hardly meet the idea of
the committee offering the prize. or
impress the public as achievements
worth while.
4.-Iet there be more prizes offered
in the woman's department.; for more
classes of work
5.-Let there be prizes offered along
literary lines, thus stimulating the pu-
pills in the public schools, for example
a-Best map drawing in specified
grades. BEST original composition
! on assigned subjects (words limited,
grade speciied). c-Best singing by
school children Contest On children's
day.. d-Best recitation by same,
likewise on children's day.
6.-a-A prize for best dairy COW, re-
CARELESS OF breed. BEST team of
draft horses. c-Best span of carriage
horses. d-Best single carriage horse.
e-Best saddle horse. f-Best brood
mare. g-Best colt over 1 year old.
h-Best colt under / year old. best
team Of mules. BEST mule colt. k
Best pen of wool-producing sheep.
ll-Best pen of mutton producing sheep.
m-Premium on fowls regardless of
number OF entries of the kind.
The limited display of live stock at
/ our fairs has been a cause for sur
prise. No effort ought to be spared
to Increase it. Let The Journal read
ers speak.

DR.. L. M. Holm, state bacteriolo-
gist, taking occasion to warn the pub
lie of the seriousness of injuries re-
sulting from fireworks sent out the
following statement embracing sew
eral important facts. Dr. Holm says
Statistics show that approximately
ten per cent of the injuries from
blank cartridges result in fatal tetanus
and hence an injury from a blank
cartridge, unless the patient is treat
ed with tetanus anti-toxin, is more
dangerous than an attack Of typhoid
fever. The average period interven-
ing between the injury and the out
set Of symptoms Of tetanus is about
seven days, but may vary between
five and fifteen days. In those cases
where the symptoms appear early
fatal results almost invariably follow
and where the symptoms appeal later
the outlook is generally more en-
couraging; but tetanus should always
be regarded as very serious disease
and ali preventive measures should
be utilized, as there is no treatment
that can be relied upon for a cure"
In case of injury here is the course
to pursue according to Dr. Holm:
