says Mrs. Nelson,o 43 Richmond

ABOLISH TowsERa

DIR. ID. T. Quigley, of North
Platte, Neb., in a lecture upon
infectious and contagious dis
eases in Philadelphia, says that
if the fmily must have a pet to
fondle it should be a pig. The
Irish family in the old-fashioned
song, who kept the pig in the
parlor," were much more sani-
tary livers in the opinion of DIR.
Ouigley than persons who in
troduce the dog and the cat into
the home. Pigs, he says, are
not nearly so unclean in their
habits as dogs when given the
same opportunity to keep clean.
What is of much more impor-
lance, the pig is not a conveyor
of disease.
Dogs are the commonest con-
veyors of colds" according to
DR.. Quigley, as well as of num-
erous grave diseases with the
germs of which the insanitary
habits of a natural scavenger
bring them into contact. Cats
are. of course, we'll known med
iums for the conveyance of dis
eases of the respiratory system,
and their long fur is safe re-
treat for germs which are for the
moment off duty.
Preliminary to the annual con-
vention of the American Medical
Association at Atlantic City
hundreds of physicians visited
Philadelphia and participated in
the observance of Public Health
Sun day." Fifty churches open
ed their pulpits to distinguished
physicians who preached health
sermons with the endorsement
of the churches.
DR.. Quigley, preaching the
health gospel under the title,
what Shall l Do to be Saved
from Disease?" warned his con-
gregation against offsetting the
effects of sanitary precautions
by associating closely with pets
which convey disease.
Through the mouth of DIR.
Quigley sentimental science con-
dennis the old maids cat and the
young maids dog along with the
public drinking cup, the roller
towel, the neglected garbage can,
insanitary plumbing and improp-
er sewerage disposal.
But in many homes suspen-
sion of sentence will be granted
during the fairly good behaviour
of the dog, or the cat as the case
may be. 1t is easy enough to
awaken an interest in the aboli-
ton of the public drinking cup or
the roller towel, but abolishing
the insapitary pet goes as much
against the grain of pet lovers
as shooting the tubercular COW
does in the case of the dairyman.
And it is rare dairyman who
believes that bovine tuberculosis
is communicable to human be-

TO STUDY ROAD CONDI-
TIONS IN 100 COUNTIES


Detailed studies of local road
building systems in 100 counties
are now being carried on by the
department in cooperation with
the State highway departments
and local road authorities.
The purpose of this study is to
discover the points of excellence
and defects in existing local
methods of building and main
tanning roads which will aid the
State authorities to put local road
management on a systematized
basis. The cooperating State
authorities have been asked
to designate counties that pre-
sent typical and exceptional fea-
lures as to topography, character
of road materials, methods OF
construction and maintenance,
administrative organization,
methods of road financing, and
traffic conditions. From these
lists 100 counties will be selected
and in these counties the Divis-
ion IF Road Economics will make
intensive studies.
The investigation IS promoted
by the fact that there is at pres
ent very little knowledge as to
the most effective and economical
methods by which county can
develop its roads. At present
the methods of financing local
i road improvements vary from
calling on farmers for certain
number of days labor in lieu of
road tax, or the use of county
prisoners in road construction, tC
bond issues or maintenance Of
roads from dramshop license
funds.
The department will study al
of these systems with the view
of determining what system OF
combination of systems work:
best in actual practice.
There is, moreover, at present
no standard system of keeping
accounts for road building anC
mainten ance, and as the result
while some counties know to
penny the purpose for which the
money was spent, others have nc
definite check or reporting sys
tenn. Among various counties
with the same conditions cost
for excavation or other labor i:
anything but uniform, and many
counties, because of the absence
of definite knowledge, fail to us'
local and cheap materials, anC
construct roads which are nee
essarily expensive for their pur
pose, or which will wear out be
fore the bond issues are redeem
ed. The investigation will Include
a careful study of the use of con
vict labor in road con struction.
In connection with the scienti
fic study the departments high
way engineers will advise freely
with local officials as to improve
ments, and thus give each county
visited the advantage of direc
cooperation, engineering super
vision, and assistance.
These Investigations, it is be
lieved, will yield important eco
nomic data bearing especially OF
the benefits and burdens of roac
improvement and showing the
extent to which financial outla,
under given typical conditions i
iustifable.
The heads of State highwa,
departments are manifesting
great interest and are cooperat
ing cordially in this work. TIL
data when obtained will be pub
lished and thus made accessible
to all county and State roa'

he situation a most peculiar one The Pro-
hlbton candidate for governor Mr.. Ball. was the
chairman of the Prohibition forces in the last fight
waged in Texas for statewide Prohibition. and had
been looked upon of the great state Prohibi-
ton leaders,
When the Prohibition Democrats held their con.
ventlon IN the spring, for the purpose of settling upon
one candidate to represent the Prohibition forces in
the hight tor governor, they chose Mr.. Ball as their
standard-bearer At that convention these Pro-
hlbltlon Democrats, moreover, adopted resolution
practically unanimously endorsing national Prohibi-
ton Soon afterwards, when Mr.. Ball began his
active campaign to the astonshment of the temper
ance torces Mr.. Ball announced that he was against
statutory Prohibition for Texas that he was against
national Prohibition, that he was against everything
IN the way OF advanced temperance legislation except
constitutional Prohibition for Texas In other words
he declared that he against everything in the way
OF advanced temperance legislation except the one
thing that the legislature of the of Texas could
adopt without his help since it would require two
thirds vote of the legislature to submit constu-
tlonal Prohibition amendment and since two-thirds
OF the legislature could pass such measure even
over the veto of the governor.
In addition to this handicap which Mr. Ball
voluntarily placed upon himself Mr. Ball re>e,yYd
the active support in his campaign of ex-senator Toe
Bailey, which, of course, did help matters so far
DIS the IIOnlDuOn voters OF leXaS concerned
Furthermore, there were signs indicating that some
OF the old political tricksters of Texas who are more
interested III the matter of political preferment than
in any brand Of Prohibition either state or national
had conceived the idea that by nominating candidate
tor governor favorable to state constitutional Prohi
bitlon, yet against national Prohibition they might
establish basis for their fight against United States
Senator Morris Sheppard five years hence 1t is not
believed that Mr. Ball party any such move
ment, but much be said for some of his sup
porters. On this point however the results of the
primary speak for themselves. Senator Morris Shep-
pard two years ago made his campaign in Texas de-
caring openly in practically every speech that he
made for countrywide statewide, nationwide and
worldwide Prohibition of the liquor traffic. On this
platform he swept the state with an overwhelming
majority On the other hand, Mr. Ball, in this cam
paign, pronounced state Prohbitionist who made
his campaign in favor Of state constitutional Prohib
ton, but against national Prohibition lost in the
primaries to the AUTHORIZATION candidate by
over votes in SDite of the fact that
