vice Rejects Great
Numbers

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-Secre-
tary Houston fthe Department OF
Agriculture urges the safeguarding
fthe meat supply. He cites ng-
ures to show that there is great
waste in slaughtering OF diseased
animals.
More than 50.000,00 meat ami
mails" says the once Of information
of his department. were slaughter
cd In establishments under federal
inspection during the fiscal year ind
ing June 30n. Since approximately
from So to go per cent. fthe ami
mails killed. are slaughtered in es-
Adjustments where federal inspec-
tion is maintained, 1t appears that
about 100.000,000 meat animals are
no wbeing killed each year.
"Of the animals subjected to
federal inspection 299.95S were con-
demned as UNIT for human use. and
644,6SS were condemned In part.
Thus little more than 1.5 per cent.
of all the animals inspected were
condemned either In whole or In
part. These figures include only
cattle, calves, sheep, goats and
swine.
tuberculosis was the chief cause
of the condemnations. More than
1854 carcasses OF cattle and $4,000
carcasses Of swine were entirely re-
jected on account. OF this disease,
and In addition parts of $4,000 cat
tie and 100000 swine. Hog cholera
was responsible for the next largest
loss, nearly 1O2, 900 swine being con-
demned entirely on this account.
"The annual appropriation for the
federal meat inspection service Is
now about s3.375,000, so that the
cost to the people would be between
and 6 cents per animal II the
service was confined entirely to the
inspection OF the animals and car
casses. In addition, however, great
quantities OF the meat and products
are reinspected. In this item ther
was very considerable increase
during the last fiscal year. the re-
inspection resulting in the condem-
nation OF nearly 100000 pounds
OF products. Furthermore. 245,000,-
600 pounds of imported meat or
meat products were inspected, and
more than 100000 pounds con-
demned or refused entry.
"In the course OF its work the bu-
reau of animal industry has discov-
cred a new method OF destroying
trichinae in pork, which is an sudi-
tional safeguard to human health.
Refrigeration at a temperature or
5 degrees F.. or lower, for a period
of 90 days will destroy these para
sites, which occasionally give rise in
human beings to trichinosis. Hith-
erto the only known safeguard
against this disease has been thor
ough cooking. Unless pork is known
to have been subjected TO refrigera-
ton, az above indicated, 1t should
be thoroughly cooked. Microscopic
examination OF pork for tricinae has
proved inefficient.
More swine we're slaughtered in
the past year in establishments un-
der federal inspection than ever be-
fore. A total Of 36,247 ,95s were In
spected at the time Of slaughter, and
approximately 35,900,0o0 passed for
food"

LIES Goal.

When summing up our daily gains
And adding to our store,
We find we're full of craving pains
OF saving up some more.
Each night at rest, each day at toll,
We see our riches growing.
To fill our bins, we till the soil
And shun the things worth know
ing.
Year by year we fill our store,
We cheat and toll and crave.
That we should have a little more
W. scant ourselves to save.
We find our form is growing old,
Our hair is turning gray,
We need few more pounds of gold
To cheer us on our way.
Now living in our numbered years,
Still adding to our store,
Now trembling meath our aged fears
But craving as before.
At last we catch glimpse of night;
We see it's robes draw near.
Have we struggled for the right?
II so! why then this fear
Back to mother earth we mould
Under the verdant sod.
All our pounds of precious gold
Are as naught, in the sight of God

Contracts.

Ames, Oct. 21.-The highway COM
mission has issued no orders for
shutting down the concrete work No.
vember /. The indications are that
no such general order will be neces-
sary. The commission, however, ex-
poets to give notice that no new con-
crete construction should be started
after November l and that no new
contracts for concrete bridges and
culverts, the construction of which is
to start this season after November
1, will be approved. There will prob
ably be no interference with the COM
pletion of such work as is now under
way providing weather conditions re-
main favorable. The commission
warns engineers and contractors to
use every precaution in their con-
crete work for the balance of the
season and to be ready for complete
shutdown if conditions make it ad-
visable or necessary to order it.

FL. The ceremony was performed by

The bride and groom took their
places on a raised platform under an
arch of beautifully colored autumn
leaves with crepe paper for light
back ground. A lovely white bell in
the center and ported plant on eth
err side of the arch added to the
beauty of the decorations. After con-
gratulations were extended the we'd
ding party repaired to the dining
room, which was also decorated with
the same effects as the parlor, where
the ceremony was performed. A
sumptuous two course supper was
served, after which the evening was
spent in very enjoyable time. An in
fare dinner was enjoyed at the home

VOTE CAST IN B0GAlUSA
IS MOST GRATIFYING
But Still Leaves Room For
Much More Improve
ment

Boealusa is to be congratulated
on the splendid showing made at
the polls last weeks, when the con-
stitutional convention was voted
down by an overwhelming majority.
The number of votes cast in Bog
alusa exceeded by far those cast at
any previous election, yet there is
still room for improvement. There
are over a thousand voters in the
Magic City, and it is the duty of
every one of them to 90 to the polls
on election day and cast his ballot.
One of the most important elec-
tons ever held will take place next
January, and in order to make Bog
alusa a recognized factor in the state
it is necessary to poll as big vote
as possible, and the next election
should show that at least a thousand
votes have been cast. Vote for
whomsoever you might wish but be
sure and vote.

Crops Not Affected By Moon

Scientists are now convinced that
the moon has no more influence on
crops than it has upon the tempera-
ture or the amount of rain or the
winds or any other weather element
The growths of plants depends upon
the amount of food in the soil and
in the air that is available for them
and upon temperature, light and
moisture. The moon obviously does
not affect the character of the soil
in any way, neither does it affect
the composition of the atmosphere.
The only remaining way in which,
it could influence plant growth
therefore, is by its light. Recent
experiments. however show that
full daylight is about 100000 times
brighter than full moonlight, yet
when plant gets 1.10Oth part of
normal daylight it thrives little bet
ter than in absolute darkness. If
l-l0Oth part of normal daylight is
thus too little to stimulate a plant,
it seems quite certain that a 6O0,-
000th part can have any effect at
all. 1t is therefore, mere waste of
time to think about the moon in
connection with the planting of
crops. The moon, says the scient-
lists, has nothing more to do with
this than it has to do with the
building of fences, the time for kill
ing hogs, or any other of the in
Vulnerable things over which it was
once supposed to exert a strong in
fluence. News Letter United Stat
