jority of the States.

Legislation dealing with tuberculo-
sis has been enacted in As states and
territories of the United States, ac-
cording to a comprehensive bulletin
on this subject published by the Ma
uonal Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis. Only IN
the states of Arizona, Idaho, Nevada,
Wyoming and Alaska has the sub
ject been given no legislative consid-
Grafton.
State tuberculosis sanatoria to the
number of AZ have been established
in 33 different states. Special laws
providing for the establishment Of
local hospitals by municipalities or
counties have been passed in IA states.
In "a states laws are in force provid-
ing for the reporting and registra-
ton of living cases of tuberculosis.
In four states. New York, New Jer-
sey, Wisconsin and Minnesota, spe-
c1al laws have been enacted giving
state and local health authorities pow
er to remove and detain tuberculous
persons who menace the health of
their families or associates. Six
states, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Mime
sofa, New York and Texas, have laws
which give the people the privilege of
voting at general or special elections
on the establishment of county or mu-
nicipal tuberculosis hospitals. Massa,
chusetts, Minnesota. New Jersey. Wis
consin and Washington grant sub
sides ranging from So to S. per week
to such local hospitals. Laws prohih-
iting splitting in public places have

DESTROYING LICE ON CATTLE
by Means of Barrel Spray Pump
and Bordeaux Nozzle.

Not infrequently cattle are more or
less lousy at this time of year: par
ticularly is this true of young calves
that are not so thrifty as they should
be- 1t is true that after cattle are
turned on grass and their hides be-
come more oily they will to large
extent get rid of the. lice without
treatment, but that is a slow process
and by no means economical
A good way to get rid of lice on
cattle is as follows; Drive a conven-
ieuc number into a small shed so that
it is about two-thirds full Then by
means of barrel spray pump. rubber
hose, and Bordeaux nozzle spray the
cattle thoroughly with a good stock
dip. AS the spraying progresses the
cattle will move about and in rubbing
against each other work the material
well into the hair and hide. In ordi-
nary cases one spraying will be suf-
ficient. but when badly infested spray

eggs present at the first spraying, for
stock dips do not destroy nits or eggs
of lice.
Occasionally an animal will be found
in a herd that persists in remaining
lousy after such treatment as men
toned has been given. Such cases
should be given individual attention
by, rubbing the dip thoroughly into the
hide by means of a brush. Lice are

NEVER A PLEASANT FEELING
Nervousness May Affect Different Peo-
pie in Different Ways, But 1t 10
Never a Welcome Visitor.

The mental state Of a person suf-
fering from nerves" is very mich
like that of a man who is wanted by
the police, or who has just heard
rumor that the ship on which his wife
and children have sailed has been
sunk in a collision, or who has cried
fire" in a theater and been thrown
out, and knows his name has been OBJ
tanned by the reporters. Very often it
is a combination of all three, with per-
haps the added sensation of a man in
doubt if he closed the safe before leav-
ing the office.
Perhaps some sufferers will disagree
with this and say it is not like thai at
all, but rather like having fallen into
a dry well, from which you can hear
the voices of people passing near by,
but are unable 10 make yourself heard,
or like having accidentally shot your
neighbor's only child while cleaning a
revolver.
The point is that it is distinctly I'M
pleasant.
AIRY bad quarter of an hour that you
may have experienced of uneasiness,
anxiety, guilt, remorse or mortifica-
ton will give you a very fair idea of
the chronic condition of the so-called
neurasthenic. A good nightmare will
| help.
There is nothing about this in the
books. There the symptoms are de-
scribed as loss of interest" inability
to concentrate" extreme depression"
feeling of numbness in the extremi-
ties" etc. In a way this is true; just
as it would be true of the men referred
| to above. The man wanted by the po-
lice would take little interest in the
shop windows, and the man who thinks
| the ship has sunk would not get very
| far with letter arranging the details
| of a business reorganization; and as
| for the man thrown out of the theater,
| he would probably admit, if brought to
it, that he was profoundly depressed.
| None of these individuals would feel
that the books quite did justice to
| their feelings. And it goes without
| saying that none of them would re-
| spOnd with enthusiasm if brisk per-
| son came along and said: What you
need is to get your mind off yourself"
or, What you need is plenty of fresh
air and exercise

victim is suffering severe mental dis

If HIS LIFE WERE AN OPEN BOOK.

Nay grieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told their hearts sad
story.
Weep for the voiceless, who have known
The cross without the crown of glory!
A few can touch the magic string,
And noisy Fame is proud to win them.
Alas, for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them
The man who shows no disposition
to indulge in the society of the fair
sex should not be singled out for per-
sistent attention by women.
There is generally a good reason
he has when a man fights shy of mat
rimony. 1t may be his nature to be
polite to the opposite sex, but it
shouldn't be taken for granted that
courtesy means liking which may lead
to a tenderer sentiment.
He may appear to be very lonely
and much in need of woman's sympa-
thy. But appearances in such cases
may be deceptive. Instead of being
a bachelor, as every one supposes. he
may be a widower, with a large fam
lily of children, whom his mother in
a far-off city, is aiding him to care for.
His one thought may be to make
name and fortune for his motherless
brood He may be firm in his avowed
intention never to entertain the
thought of taking wife until his
children are educated, grown up, mar
ried and in homes Of their own.
Then, again, many a bachelor may
have had heart ENLARGEMENT in his
early youth which causes him to for
swear marriage for all time to come.
Or he may have habits, such as an
ungovernable temper, which he knows
that no woman would put up with for
long, or love of drink. Ii every man S
life was an open book that all might
read, men who seem so desirable
might be Stunned, while others, wko
seem to possess all the faults in the
calendar, might be considered worthy
of reforming; aye, jewels in the rough.
Even a man to whom a woman is
welded may not be just what she
imagines him. He may be supporting
dependent relatives whom he has
never mentioned to his wife and of
whom the world knows not.
If man wishes to close the book
of his past from all prying eyes it is
wisest and best to let him have his
own way. If man is interested in
a woman he will not have to be coaxed
to seek her out; for there is no mag
net on earth as strong as love to bring
each other

Driest Spots In America.

According to the weather bureau
returns one of the driest spots in the
United States is in the Fresno district
of California. They have had only "a
per cent of the normal rainfall since
March 1. The west coast generally
has been short of precipitation. An
other dry district centers in st. Louis,
which has only 80 per cent of normal
rainfall. The Ohio valley has had
from a half to two-thirds of the usual
quota, and there are some very dry
spots in the Southwest and the South
east that have not yet been cleared
up. But generally the country is fair
ly well supplied with moisture for the
late summer season Streams are
fairly full and reservoirs are not low
as a rule. The distribution is uneven,
however, Fort Worth, Texas. has 194
per cent of normal, and Fort Smith,

of Kansas have had three weeks OF

Overfows from streams are Usually
fatal to it during its growing pc
rod, in fact, it is unusual for it to
survive more than "a hours of com
plete submergence, althougi during
its dormant period in the winter it is
less susceptible.
Not the least difficulty that the al
falfa grower must face is the neces-
sity for thorough incubation of the
soil in regions where the proper bac-
terra are not supplied by nature.
Throughout the western half of the
United States incubation in general
does not appear to be necessary, but
in the East the grower who neglects
this precaution is practically certain
to lose his time. There are two
methods now in general use, The
bacteria may be supplied either by
scattering the soil from a successful
alfalfa field, or by cultures. The ar
tlfcial cultures are supplied by the
United States department of agricul-
ture and their use explained in detail
in the printed matter which accom-
panies the bottle of cultures After
being mixed with the clean water and
certain chemicals these cultures are
applied to the seed, which is then
| dried in shaded place and sown as
soon as possible When this method
is successful at all it appears to be
| fully as much so as the scattering of
soil.
For some reason, howevcr which
has not yet been definitely deter
mined, complete failures occasionally
occur; more frequently, in fact, than
! when incubation is practiced by the
transfer OF soil. In the latter case
from 800 to 500 pounds of soil per
| acre should be used Care should be
taken to obtain the soil only from
/ healthy stands known to be free from
noxious weeds or plant diseases. To
secure and handle such quantities of
soil is necessarily a somewhat burden
some and expensive business, and il
is, therefore, desirable to obtain the
| soil from as near by as possible
When no good soil is available in the
immediate vicinity il is best to seed
very small area the first season and
to use this soil for inoculating larger
| areas later on. Where only a small
quantity Of soil is available, very sat
isfactory. results can ordinarily be OBJ
tanned by mixing the seed with an
equal quantity, pound for pound. of
the alfalfa soil, mashed free from even
small clods. This mixture may be
run through a drill-or sown on
cloudy day--or after shutdown. II it
must be seeded broadcast in the sun
shine, scatter the mixture directly in
front of the covering harrow. 1t is
also possible to reduce the quantity
of soil needed for incubation by thor
! oughly mixing it with several times
its weight of ordinary earth. In such
cases from 200 to 300 pounds per acre
may be found sufficient The grower
however, who attempts to skimp in
the incubation of his land, like the
grower who attempts to use any but
the best land, is apt to find that al
falfa instead of profitable is a losing
crop.

are far removed socially from people
OF wealth and luxury They can un-
fold, however, an intimate knowledge
OF them that is marvellous. Before
hand, they are able to whisper when
love match is about to blossom into
an engagement, They see the begin
ming and growth of affairs that end
in scandals.
Watching these women and their
ideal lives, as it seems, is the one
joy of these girls. The manner in
which they touch elbows with these
rich women is somewhat unique. Dur
ing the day, these young women work
at their allotted tasks, as though life
contained nothing else for them.
When the closing hour comes they
hurry eagerly from their labors to
their lonely hall bedrooms, blithe as
the birds that twitter outside their
windows Usually two young women
share their room together. They are
in cramped quarters; must take turns
in cooking their frugal suppers over
the oil stove. If there are pleasures
ahead they don't mind the hardships.
Girls are clever with their fingers,
and help one another to fashion simply
out of odds and ends their evening
gowns that would vie with a million
aires wife's sumptuous robe, and not
look out of place by comparison.
Downing their evening gowns,
throwing scarfs round their shoulders,
the girls scurry eagerly forth. TO the
cheap picture shows for an evenings
amusement? Oh, no. A dark skirt
and plain shirtwaist would answer
for going there; their attire would
not be closely observed. On past the
moving picture places they go; their
destination being one of the grand
hotels The drawing room and lob
bies are free to all guests who look
to the manner born. They loiter in the
beautiful lobby for a while; sitting on
the rich divans they are so near the
favorite of fortune they could reach
forth their hands and touch their
robes. They drink in their floating
bits of conversations; feast their eyes
on their dazzling gems, inhale the
exotic perfume from the rare flowers
they wear Like the tabled Cinder-
Ella of legend, these girls seemingly
The dreary hall bedroom fades away

are marble halls, strains of sweetest

they are part of that rich throng
The girls order rolls and milk Eve

they slip out unobserved, retracing
their steps homeward eagerly chat

great hotels and restaurants. Man
ayers know them; they are unobstru-
sive, quiet girls Usually they are
sorry to refuse them a table, but tell
them their tables are all engaged for
the entire evening. Their expenses
are high. They reserve tables for
those who spend money generously.

Heard General Sherman say II

Recently someone who seemed to
know issued a denial of the prevalent
impression that Gen. W. T. Sherman
said war is hell" j. P. Francis OF
Nickerson declares he-heard General
Sherman say it. He writes: Il never
understood that General Sherman used
the term war is hell in any of his or
ders or official correspondence, but did
use the term in a public address at
soldiers reunion at Columbus, o., in
1880. The writer was seated near the
speakers stand and recollects the &C.
casion which called the famous ex-
preston from the general. General
Sherman, in his address, referred to a
particular military feat which called
ton part of the troops selected to per-
form the task assigned them) for
heroic courage to accomplish the task
successfully And when he closed the
narration the militia boys gave a
hearty cheer When the applause sub
sided the general looked down at the
militia and said, Boys, you may think
war is great sport, but say. war is
hell"
