CHECK SPREAD OF DISEASE
Further Proof Of How Necessary to
Mankind Are tho Birds Has
Been Discovered.

A new appreciation Of a heretofore
unknown service which birds render
to mankind has developed from q re-
cent report o: Henry w. Henshaw.
chief of the Biological Survey at
Warrington, on research in connec-
ton with the diet of birds
The value Of birds to the farmer
is plain enough. Without their check
ing and destructive influence, the myr-
lads Of insects which would develop
in the course Of time would destroy
every green thing and tend to reduce
the country to a state of aridity.
Their more general and direct in
fiuence In the checking of the spread
Of disease has not. however, been
fully realized. But it Is only neces-
sary to note that 500 mosquitoes have
been found in the stomach of single
nighthawk to appreciate what they
are doing to keep within bounds these
germ-bearing insects. Hundreds OF
larvae have been found In the stom-
ach Of q killdeer, and many shore
birds greedily devour the larvae of the
salt-marsh mosquito. As mosquitoes
are known to carry the germs of such
serious diseases as malaria, typhoid
and dengue fever, 1t is evident that
by destroying the insects the birds are
oonferring q distinct benefit on man.
Since birds perform such an invalu-
able service, 1t is clearly worth while
for . community to protect them.
This can be done by furnishing boxes
for certain species, such as swallows,
wrens. martins, great-crested hycatch-
ers to nest In, and the planting Of
berry-bearing shrubs and bushes, and
tho establishment of "sanctuaries"
wherein the birds may be reasonably
safe from their natural enemies and
from disturbance by man, in order
that they may breed and increase in
security.

New Serum Plant Will
Supply Demand.

Soon after January 1, there
will be put into operation by the
veterinary department of the
University of Missouri the most
complete hog cholera serum
plantin the country This plant,
which is costing $4,000, will sup
ply all the demands for serum
from the farmers of the state.
The site is 80 acres of land two
miles north of Colum bia. When
running at full capacity the plant
will handle 1900 hogs all the time
for the production of serum.
About the same number is re-
quired for the production of virus
to be used in hyperimmuzing the
serum of hogs. While the first
class of hogs are not injured for
food, those used to produce
virus must be destroyed.
The plant consists of a hog
barn, serum laboratory, virus
laboratory, injecting pen and
tank room. The hog barn is
used for housing hogs during
the process of hyperimmuniza-
tion. It has capacity of 1000
hogs. It is divided into pens,
and has an exercise yard opposite
each pen. In the building there
are large provision rooms and
two pens for washing and crat-
ing the hogs before they go to
the laboratory. The barn has q
granitoid floor, has good sewer
and is we'll lighted
and ventilated.

The Journal many years ago
predicted that the time would
come when the leading political
parties would have to take up
the liquor question as a national
issue. That time is about here.
The vote In the House one day
last week on the national prohib-
ition amendment shows clearly
the state of public opinion on the
question of nation wide prohibi.
tion. While the amendment did
not receive the necessary two
thirds vote to win it's submis.
sion, it did receive a decisive ma
jority of all the votes cast. and,
according to the rules by which

cratic party that its future
course lies in that direction, but
that party loves the liquor sup
port and will not be ready to
abandon it until it has lost more
of its strength, and the same
may be said of the Republican
party. John Barleycorn has
been q great vote getter in the
past, but the majority is now
ruling against him.

The Fruits of ''Reform."

ago the people voted for re
form" IN our political economy,
for the adoption of a policy diff
ferent from that under which
the nation was then, and had
been for years, enjoying a pros
perty greater than it had ever
known before. They did this in
the face of warnings of evil to
follow based, on previous exper-
ience gained from similar efforts
along that line. The exponents
of this reform" contended how
ever that its inauguration would
not disturb the prosperous con
ditions prevailing and many lent
yielding ear and voted for
it. The fruits of this change of
national policy are distress and
misery to multiplied thousands
who had been living in plenty
and content. Of the many cases
of misery resulting from this
change of policy, we give here
two that are typical of the gen
eral situation:
I'D rather be in the peniten-
tentiary than starving" said
Frank H. Hanson as he waited
for the police to come and arrest
him after he had broken a Jew
eler's window in St. Louis one
day last week, from which he
took a few articles so he W. aid

wouldn't starve in the peniten-
tiary, and went up town to break

rings. See my shoes?" Hanson
held up a foot covered only by
a old overshoe. Hadn't you

than starving and freezing? II

Merry Chritmas, indeed"
said Henry Jackson, a salesman
out of work, as he read a bright
colored poster of Christmas
greeting over an East St. Louis
hotel bar last Friday. 1T is not
a Merry Christmas for me. L

from the bar with tears in his
eyes and went into a rear room.
In a moment he returned hold

said. He had, but as the result
of prompt treatment he will re-

Here is section 2, article 2, O.
the Constitution.
u /%bo Dnoe;1or<A chon u1ro;

Here is section 2, article 2, Of
the Constitution.
He (the President) shall nomi.
nate, and by and with the con.
sent and advice of the Senate,
shall appoint ambassadors x =
and all other officers of the United
States whose appointments are
not herein otherwise provided
for.
Does it seem worthy of Presi-
dent Wilson to attempt to disre-
gard the advice and consent of
the Missouri Senators in the mat
tier of appointments? And is it
not manifest that that disregard
is engendered by the voting of
the senators in question on other
matters? 1t would be as logical
for those political advisers, who
term the above provision old
fashioned, to disregard, in whole
or in part, any other section or
article of the Constitution.
And when senators retaliate
certain of the Presidents friends
as they call themselves-so far
forget their party bonds as to in
sinuate the alignment of the said
senators with Tammany. + =
little business all around.

1 Colonel Roosevelt has an arti-
\le in the current number of
Everybody's Magazine on our
preparedness for war. AS usual
the Colonel has something inter.
esting to say. He maintains that
nations the least prepared for
war are the ones that oftenest
have war, and cites a plentitude
of instances to prove his asser-
tion. He also says that this
country has not sufficient militia
ry preparedness to insure its
peace or the respect of its for,
eign policies. The Colonel ad-
voeates the training of large
reserve force, preferably along
the lines followed by Switzer-
land, where every man is a train
ed soldier, though the Swiss
standing army is only about 1000
men, and its whole military sys-
tenn 10 conducted at and expense
Of less than 5000. 900. Switzer-
land, ii is claimed, can mobilize
q trained army of 300, 900 men in

serve force keeps his equipment
In his home, where it is regular
ly inspected. and he is ready to
march at Q moments notice in
defense of his country. And
Switzerland has had no war for
ever . hundred years. She is
constantly prepared for it. I'm

Federation of Miners, Matt Malovich
"A former striker. this morning bonn
barded the union offices on Sixth
street with rocks and before he could
be subdued, two of the large windows
were broken and the union sign was
demolished. Malovich is a powerful
man and he hurled huge stones ut the
building with the same ease as though
they were pebbles. II required half
dozen men to place him under arrest.
A charge of malicious destruction
of property has been lodged against
him and pending an examination to-
determine his sanity, the examination
was adjourned.
Malovich's plight is typical of that
of n large number of other strikers i'm
this district and although few are as
as he. il indicates clear
by the great feeling of resentment
held by the strikers FOR those agita-
tors who so persstently misled them

teachings have been completely re-
pudiated. So far as can be learned,
