Commission Reports
That 1t Costs SIS Cents
A BuShel To Raise Wheat
In Saskatchewan

According to the report, the cost of
production has increased 1915 per
cent since 1909, while, on the other
hand, the price of wheat to the Sas-
katchewan farmer has decreased from
81 Is cents per bushel in 1909 to 66 Il
cents per bushel in 1913, leaving a net
return, on this basis, of AS cents per
bushel TO the farmer.
1t is possible that the interesting
figures which have been developed by
the Grain Commission will account for
the fact that a large number of Am
erican farmers who have, in recent
years, left the States to engage in
farming in this territory are now ask
ing for a certificate which permits the
return of household effects to the
United States. If the economic sit
uation suggested in the above state
ment is not the cause, perhaps it may
be found in the long and rigorous
winters characteristic of this section
as compared with those in the lead
ing farming districts of the states.

WARNING AGAINST DANGEROUS
PRESERVING POWDERS AND
CANNING COMPOUNDS
USED BY THE HOUSE
WIFE

Washington, ID. C.-The attention of
the Department of Agriculture has re-
Gently been called to the widespread
use, especially in rural communities.
of salicylic acid in putting up pre-
serves. The head of a large drug and
chemical supply house states that
people living in Southwest Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Kentucky,
Tennessee and western Georgia, have
been purchasing salicylic acid in quar-
ter pound packages for a number Of
years and that this practice has grown
TO an enormous extent. This dealer
states further that only a few weeks
ago he received an order from one
wholesale grocer for fifty gross of
these goods.
The Department is aware th9t this
practice is not confined to sqlicylic
"cid under its own name alone but
that large quantities of this acid, and
Of hOr,c acid as well. are sold under
fanciful names as preserving powders
or canning compounds at prices which
are much in excess of their real
value.
IN the directions for use. the house
wife is told to fill the Jar with the
fruit or vegetables, cover with water
and add teaspoonful of the powder.
It is true that these powders may
prevent the decay Of the fruit or vege-
table, but they also encourage un-
cleanlY or careless work, and their
excessive use may be attended with
very serious effects upon the health.
Salicylic acid is medicine of the
greatest value in acute articuar rheu-
natism and certain other diseases. 1t
is well known as poisonous sub
stance, and one of the evils which
may accompany its use is derange-
,nent of the digestion. Ii is therefore
plain that its extensive use in food

University OF Michigan
Public Health Service

The public health service rendered
to the state by the University Of
Michigan is perhaps not excelled by
that of any similar institution in this
country. by means of lectures, labo-
ratory tests, and especially through
the medium of the hospital service
Gncluding the Pasteur Institute and
1.-The Dental Clinic), the University has
for years been a vital factor in the
preservation of public health. This
service has reached not only every
county, but almost every local COM
munity Of the state.
The number of patients registered
at both hospitals during the past
year was 1000. Many of these per
sons would become public burdens
were it not for the medical service
afforded by the University. As it is,
however, large numbers are sent back
to their respective communities in
such physical condition that they be
come self-supporting citizens.

\ RENzIE COUNTY APPLE ORCHARD.
Apple Experts Selecting And
Making Trees To Grow Prize Apples

Traverse City-WeStern Michigan
apple experts are now going through
the orchards, marking trees that
these trees may have special attention
during the coming three months. II
is proposed to scatter large quantities
of commercial fertilizer on the ground
under the trees, that the trees NAV be
well fed during the growing season.
Prof. Henry G.. Bell of Chicago. after
"A careful examination of a soil map
Of Western Michigan, has prepared
formulae for use in feeding the trees.
Three different formulas have been
given out. One Of these is for trees
upon light soil, one for medium soil,
and one for heavy soil. Thirty-five
tons Of commercial fertilizer have
been donated by the fertilizer manu-
facturers of Chicago, and this is now
being shipped to convenient distribut-
ing points throughout the Western
Michigan territory. As fast as the
trees are Spotted" the fertilizer is
hurried to the orchard. In the greater
number of cases, trees OF varieties
that ripen early will be chosen, as il
is desired to obtain large, highly col
ored and well ripencd apples for cX-
hibit at the international Apple
Shippers Association meeting at Bos
ton, in August, and for the West
Michigan Fair, the first week in
September.
This apple growing campaign is Il
cooperative one, the parties partici-
pating in it being the Western Michi-
gan Development Bureau, the West

INDECENT Persons.

Any INDECENT person is received
for treatment upon the written order
of the Superintendent of the Poor of
his county, or upon the written order
of the Supervisor of his township.
Other patients received for treat
ment are: First emergency cases
second. students who are taken sick
while attending any department Of the
University; third, persons who bring
letters from their family physician
recommending their admission
The following provision is enforced
in order to confine the hospitals with
i'm their proper field. as essentially
public institutions: ANY person APP
plying for admission and not coming
under the classes that have been emu
merated, must, before being received,
make affidavit that he or she is tinan-
cially unable to pay the usual min
imum fee of the profession for such
treatment as he or she may require. "
One of the most important features
of the Hospital Service is that rem
dered through the agency of the ma
ternity wards. Patients are treated
in these clinics without charge for
room, board, or medical attention.
Even when il becomes necessary for u
patient to enter the maternity ward
sometime prior to confinement, the
charge per week is merely nominal
and far below the most of mainte-
nance.
The Michigan Pasteur Institute was
opened in 1903 in conjunction with the
HYGIENE Laboratory of the Univer-
sity. Since its establishment the
number of patients for the prevention
of hydrophoba has been one thousand
one hundred and eighty-one. a re-
markable fact in connection with this
work is that since its organization
there have been no deaths from by
drophobia among patients treated at
this Institute. To patients of this
state, a nominal fee of twenty FIVE
dollars is charged, which amount
about covers the expenses of the ma
terials.
1t is estimated that since its estab-
lishment the Pasteur Institute has
saved not less than one hundred
thousand dollars to Michigan people
who otherwise would have had to go
outside of the state for treatment.
This saving of money, however, is
small factor as compared with the
saving of lives of hundreds of citizens.

Department, this University is en-
abled to render a very direct and inn
portant service to the commonwealth.
For example, by the sanitary analysis
of drinking water epidemics have fire.
Quently been prevented and the death
rate of the state decidedly lowered.
These analyses of drinking water are
furnished without charge to state in
situations, municipalities, counties,
school districts, and to private citizens
of the state.
The hospital service includes the
public service rendered by the two
University Hospitals, one under the
direction of the faculty of the De
partment of Medicine and Surgery
the other in charge of the faculty Of
the homeopathic Medical College.
These hospitals have come to be great
charitable institutions, reaching an
nually through their special service
every county and almost every local
community in the state of Michigan.
The two University hospitals CON
tain four hundred thirty beds; these
are constantly filled. In addition to
those cared for in the hospitals there
are numerous "outpatients; that Is,
patients who have rooms in the neigh
borhood of the hospital buildings and
who take advantage of the oppOrtuni-
ties offered for treatment.
Under the hospital rules profess
sional treatment and care are entirely
free to the patients. The only eN
pense involved are small charges for
medicine and board, and special nurs-
ing when necessary. These charges
are sufficient in amount to cover the
cost All operations and treatments
are by skilled specialists. Students
participate only as observers or as
sistants.
The privilege for admission to the
University hospitals and to free med
zeal or surgical treatment, however, is
confined to the following classes of
patients:
Those who may be admitted by viz
tue Of statutory provisions. For eX-
ample, any child who is defOrmed OF

dams are unable to provide proper
treatment, is entitled TO free treat

- WORD or NEGRO BOY
New York, May 15.-On the word
Of a negro boy apparently hangs the
life Of Charles Becker, once car of
New York's tenderloin, now on trial
for the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
: the gambler who "squealed." James
Marshall, colored, was brought into
the case by Harry Vallon.
Vallon claims that while he,
Becker, Rose and Weber held their
murder conference, a negro boy came
up and talked to Becker
Louis Bridge" Webber withstood
every effort to pry out of his agile
brain admissions that someone other
than Charles Becker procured the
murder of RosenthaL In every par
ticular he .corroborated the story told
by Bald Jack. Rose of why Becker
desired the death of Rosenthal and
how he forced the murder.
Reports are current that Becker

save himself from the electric chair.
There is no love lost between Becker

Tense has practically charged that

defense witness will swear, Whitman

Heved that if Becker takes the stand
he will have to Withstand from Whit
man as savage an attack as his ever
been hurled at any prisoner in a New
York court.
Two women, yelled, have been in
the witness room of the court at
times during the last few days and
one of them is declared to be the
widow of Rosenthal. It is said she
lays the death of her husband fatty
at Becker's door and will tell story
of the quarrel between Becker and
