the Fourth International Congress on
School Hygiene.

Superintendent ]. w. Brister, of the
of Public Instructions for
the state of Tennessee, in writing a
letter to the public school officials and
teachers of this state, refers to the
Buffalo Congress in the following
terms. "This is one of the most i'm
portant educational gatherings which
has ever been held and is the first
session of this Congress in America.
It deals with a subject Of vital i'm
portance not only to school people
but to all people. The health
of school children Is receiving
more attention than formerly
but certain not as much as 1t de
serves; and 1t is hoped that this Con
gress will stimulate interest In It tc
such an extent that increasing atten
ton and thought may be directed tt
lit. I am especially DESTROYS that oul
states shall be represented at the Con
gress and 1 should be glad II you car
make arrangements to attend"

FARMERS OF ITALY ESTABLISH
COOPERATIVE MANUFACTURES

practiced in the United States is not
to be seen here. The men belonging
to the association are landowners and
the small farmers receive only indirect
denefit from the cooperative associa-
tons without entering into their man
agement. In such an enterprise as the
one seen by the commission In Pia-
cenza it is clearly shown that an as
ISOLATION of farmers or landowners
lare capable of giving an economical
administration to a business enter
prise. There is no paternalism nor
leading strings connected with the pro,
ject. It is such a business undertake
ing as would be worthy of the best of
American enterprises.
The association has erected a large
warehouse for storing farm nipple
ments. A majority of the machines
are of American manufacture, but
the assertion so often made in the
| United States that American machines
can be bought at lower prices in Eu-
rope than at home did not seem to
be born out by comparisons In prices
made by the members of the commits
sion with the managers OF the ware
house, although the prices quoted at
the warehouse were practically whole
sale prices, since no profits are sought
in the sale Of implements to members
lof the cooperative institutions.
Credit for operations of this enter
prise are obtained through local CO
Operative bank, but not one Of the
rural type. It is cooperative bank
organized among the small tradesmer
of the town as well as the farmers
and though much of its business is tc
decentralize credit for the tradesmer
and so help the small dealer, 1t pursuei
, the policy of granting every possible
privilege to agricultural enterprise

SOLUTION that
KILLS WEEVILS
PREPARATIONS USED AT CHUNKY
WHICH Is CLAIMED A SURE
ERADlcAToR.

Chunky, Miss, June 2S.-Referring
to the discovery of a boil weevil Grad
icator at this place, on last Friday
morning Messrs. Allen and McGee
armed themselves with flour sprink-
Ter and two gallons of specially pre-
pared solution. The field visited be-
longs to Jesse Flake, and an abund-
ance Of weevil was found.
The gentlemen applied their solu-
ton to one fourth Of an acre and no
further attention was paid the doctor
ed cotton until Mosday when a thor
ough examination of the cotton was
made, each stalk being examined sep
arately by Messrs. W. ]. ]. Ross, J. G..
McGee, Clayton Allan, B. L. Little, j..
L. Flake, w. H. Brand and W. w.
Castle, the examination revealing the
fact that the boil weeYil had emigrated
to other climes. The gentlemen then
visited an adjoining field of cotton
and found 1t badly affected with the
weevil, but not so many as were there
before the solution was applied to the
quarter acre plat.
The solution which is Graduating
the weevil is cheaply made, and i
seems that after using the stuff in one
field, the weevil migrates from adjoin
ing fields as well. 1t is harmless Il
the cotton, and anyone wishing infor
! nation as to the solution will be ful
sished the information by w. ].

o Hesalative absurdities were given by
Mr. Park:
I'm one state we are told by the
board Of health that linen covers
should be applied to the head-rest of
coach seats; in the next state we are
told that they are unsanitary. One
state wants dust boards in the coach
windows; another does not care for
dust boards, but wants fly screens.
One commission wants the tagging
done in certain way; the next state
does not agree and demands that
different method be employed. One
state requires that the locomotive
whistle be continuously blown while
passing through towns and villages;
another makes it criminal offense
to blow the whistle under such con-
ditions. Water cannot be put into the
cars without 1t being certified to. The
source of ice, stored the preceding
winter, must be traced and certificate
provided showing its purity. One
state fines us if our passengers are
late, another penalties US by drastic
court decisions ii we make the SEIZED
ule and any one is injured. One COM
munity wants coal consumed on the To-
comotives to help its mining interests;
at the other end of the division they
demand identification to help those
WHO furnish electricity and electrical
supplies. Orders are obtained from the
commission In one state to erect union
depots at all junction points, notwith-
standing the fact that the tracks of
the respective railroads are far apart
In most states the railroads are com
PEELED to fence their right of way
Public sentiment won't permit the
gates to be kept closed, and in othel
states the right of way is used legally
as a pasture. Railroads are required
to spend millions for track elevations
and then are refused aid to keep tres
| lpassers of such elevations"
In addition many Of the proposes
, federal laws are cited as absurd, in
consistent, unreasonable and impossi
: ible of compliance" They are born of
5 desire ito please the rabble or to pa,
= political debts"
q The railroads have much to cohten
i. with in the way of adverse legislatio
and to this burden must be added
J. considerable amounty of unjust litig
ton. AS rule there is much popul'
prejudice against them in the COUNT
y districts and this is reflected in daI
d. age suits in the courts and in regulati'
la bills in state legislatures and in Co
L. gress. There is, to be sure, just al
is proper regulation, but 1t must be &C
t: ceded in fairness that there is mu
lie of the other sort and that Mr.. Parl
to complaint is not lacking in justifi'
he ton.

SOME REeuLATIVE ABsuRDiriEs
(From Courirjournal.)

Discussing the question of railway
regulation from an operating stand
point in an address before the Peoria
Transportation Club recently, w. l..
Park, vice-president of the Illinois
Central Railroad, made the statement:
'It is the unnecessary, unreasonable
and foolish things we are required to
do that are eating the life out of the
railroads"
There is a good deal of truth in the
statement and also in the subsequent
assertion that "to observe strictly the
hundreds Of railway laws and orders II
effect today a man must be nine
tenths technical lawyer and one-tentl

Piacenza, Italy, June 2S.-A $780,
coo plant for manufacture of phos-
phate fertilizer, storage warehouse
for distribution of farm implements,
and plant for manufacture of corn
cattle food; all built through co-opera-
tive effort and financed through credit
comparatively obtained, were shown to
the American Commission on Agricul-
Yal Cooperation here today.
The Manufacture of compressed corn
cakes was an impressive demonstra-
ton of the utilization of every asset
which is a characteristic feature Of
European agriculture. The country
about this city does not produce any
corn. Cattle is raised, howsver, and
so corn has to be bought from other
Districts. In the corn grain there is an
oil which has absolutely no nutritive
value. 1t is waste. But in Italy the
corn is placed in hydraulic presses and
this oil is squeezed out. The oil is sold
for the manufacture of soap and the
corn is pressed into cakes which are
distributed among the members of the
cooperative institutions. The same
plan has been attempted in the United
States, but was not found commercial
ly successful. There is not profit
enough in the sale of the oil nor IN the
sale Of the corn cakes in competition
with the grain. But In the enterprise
visited by the commission profit is not
considered. So long as there is any
saving at all 1t is sufficient reason tt
adopt the plan; for the entire work Il
carried on upon a cooperative, non
profit seeking basis.
In the manufacture of the phosphate
fertilizer it is evident that the farmer
have gotten down to raw materia
I prices at every point. Iron oxide
bought and roasted. The freed su
" pur Is employed III the manufactur
( 81 suiphuric acid. The natural pho
phoric rock ID bought and treated wit
the acid for manufacture of the fert
iizer. In this way the farmers bu
for themselves only the raw matters
and conduct every step Of the manufa
turing process themselves. 1t is
large undertaking but 1t has succee
ed. The produce Of the plant supple
fertilizer for farms of $4,000 acr
ABOUT the city.
The actual demonstration of the alb
ity of community of farmers to tn
!, initiate and conduct economically
manufacturing business of this 81
was the convincing lesson Of the pr
ticability of agricultural-co-operati
which the commission has yet seen.
The enterprise is carried on by
Consortio Agrari, an association
landowners. In this part Of Italy
soil is mostly owned by large landov
ers, and is farmed through a tens
system on a share basis. Consequent

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming thar
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health OIL
beauty. The unexplainable thing II
that, with all the evidence of shatteret
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, womel

Every woman at this time should rel
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetabl
Compound, most valuable tonic an
invigorator of the female organism.
