WORK
To GIVE JOY To
FARMER 8 WIFE
Progressive Ideas and Modern
Equipment Make Her Lot Far
Happier One.

KANSAS CITY. Sept. 2O.-On the
primitive farm the convenience and
welfare Of the housewife is the last
to receive consideration. The farmer
builds a big barn and a small shack
for a house. The well, which is the
only source of water for both, is
sunk near the barn. The distance the
beasts have to go for water is meas
urcd in feet, while the distance the
wife carries the house supply in a
bucket is measured by rods.
It's the exemplificatiOn Of the rule
Of the savage and the Indian:
Let the women do the work"
One of the purposes of the third
annual conference of the Bankers
Committee on Agricultural Develop
ment and Education, held here re-
Gently, was to change that condition.
Later the more progressive farm
ers sank the well near the house, in
stalling windmill or a gasoline
pump. Pipes were laid from the well
to the tank at the barn. The house
wife didn't have to go so far for the
water, but she still had to carry it
into the house in a bucket She
lifted it TO the shelf; lifted 1t from
the bucket by dipper into the dish
pan; lifted it from the dishpan to the
refuse bucket; then lifted IL again TO
empty it at the back door.
The modern idea is to sink the well
and install the pump or mill so the
house will Ire between them and the
barn. Then direct the pipe to the
barn, which has a small elevated
tank. In that way the housewife has
only to turn a faucet for the water

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Arthur
Sturgeon, managing director of Cas-

Cunard liner Caronia en- route to ad l.
dress the Toronto Press Club in To
ronto on October 3. He said press
censorship Of books was needed in
England, but thought from what he
had read of American book produc-
ton that censorship was unneces-
sary.
He said William Randolph Hearst
had made a pronounced impression
with his publications in England. He
was especially interested in the con-
tract between Mr.. Hearst and Hail
Caine at 100000 year for four
years. during which time the novelist
will probably produce two books 9

that figure
Regarding plays criticised in New
York, Mr.. Spurgeon said they could
not be tolerated for a moment In
England. A play that has to do with
ccnsanguineous diseases he consider

Sturgeon, that this country Will

HUSBAND MAKES
NEW RECORD IN
ASKING AL|MONY
Boston Man Enters First Claim
Ever Known to Courts Of the
Bay State,

BOSTON. Sept. 20.-Broken teeth,
attacks with utensils ranging from
rolling pins to hot fatirons, poison
threats and variety of other COM
plants were embodied in the suit for
divorce, with alimony, filed yesterday
by Edward A. Blakeney, against his
wife, Mary A. Blakeney. of Ran
dolph
Mr.. Blakeney's suit, unique alone
in the fact that for the first time in
the history Of Massachusetts courts
a man sought alimony from his wife,
proved the more unusual because OF
the specifications which he detailed
to support his charge of cruelty on
the part of Mrs. Blakeney.
To secure his claim for alimony,
Mr. Blakeney also places an attach
ment for $4,000 on the Blakeney
house in Randolph, which he charges
was bought with his money and
merely placed in her name.
Though Mr.. and Mrs. Blakeney
were married in March of 1888, her
acts of cruelty" did not begin until
1900, according to his bill Of specifi-
cations. His charges indicate that
then they began in earnest.
In Randolph, he alleges, she threw
carving knife at him with such
force that it's handle was broken
when it hit the wall behind him.
Later in the same summer, he says,
she struck him in the face and forced
him TO sleep in the barn.
Less than a year later, he claims,
she aimed a hot fiatiron at his face
which struck his shoulder and
scorched his clothing. The next
event was at supper time, when she
chose a saucer which again missed
his face, but cut his ear as it whis-
tied by
When a building on the estate on
which they were living was destroyed
by fire, he says, she accused him OF
burning it, and later abused their
son, and insisted that he lick" him,
so that they had to leave.
Early in 1903, he sets forth, she
threw a bottle containing a very
heavy substance" at him, but on this
occasion also her aim was poor. She
had better luck, he claims. with a

THINK THEY VE
CUREDLEPROSY
Two Patients in the Philippine
Islands Recover From Most
Dreaded of Diseases.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-An ap-
parent cure for Ieprosy has been
found by surgeons Of the Public
Health Service at the leper colony in
the Philippines-in fact, so much of
a cure that two patients who showed
distinct signs of leprosy when they
were admitted to the institution have
| been discharged as cured. However
there seems to be uncertainty as to
just which of two treatments effected
the cure-a vaccine treatment or
| chaulmugra oil taken by mouth and
hypodermically.
The patients who We're discharged
were given both treatments, but there
are said now to be in the hospital
number of other cases which have
shown negative" for the past TWEEN
ty-two months. and these received
only chaulmugra oil treatment.
Surgeon Victor c.. Heiser, Of the
Public Health Service. chief quaran-
tine officer and director of health OF
the Philippine Islands, in reporting on
the two cases which were discharged
says:
Two patients who had been con-
fined to the San Lazaro Leper Hos
pital on account Of leprosy, have been
pronounced apparently cured and dis
charged from that institution on pro-
baton
The first, case was that of a male
Filipino aged 81, who was admitted
to the San Lazaro Lepe: Hospital,
Manila, May 20, 1909. On admission
the case clinically showed thickened
reddish spots on the nose and thick
ening and discoloration of the lobe
Of the right ear. He received vac
cine treatment at intervals, beginning
in August, 1909, but at the expiration
Of one year no change was noted in
his condition. From September, 1870,
to November, 1910. crude Chaulmugra
oil was given by mouth in increasing
doses.
THE case showed evidences Of i'm
| provement November 10. 1910, chaul-
mugra oil, combined with oil Of cam
] phor and resOrCin, was given hypO-
! dermically By May 6, 1911. the le-
sions above described had disappear
ed and leprosy baciln We're not found
| in repeated microscopical eXamina-
| lions.
ION June II, 1913, most careful
! clinical and microscopical eXamina e.
| ton was made Of the patients, which
resulted negatively for leprosy, and
as the patient had now been appar-
emily cured for a period of over two
years, he was discharged on proba-
| ton
THE other case was that of a
| Filipino woman, aged %, who was
| admitted to San Iazaro Leper Hos
| pital. Manila, January I, 1910. Gin
! ically this patient presented a suf-
! fused countenance, due to generalized
! infltration.
Upon admission this patient was
! placed upon a vaccine treatment for
/ a period of five months, but at the
END of the first month after her ad-
mission crude Chaulmugra oil by
mouth was given in addition to the
! vaccine.
/ After the second month the pa
| tient began to improve rapidly, and
on May G. 1911. leprosy bacilli could
not be found OIL microscopical eX-
