U. DOCTOR SAYS
TYPHOID DANGER SMALL
Heavy Rains Have Minimized
Possibility of Epidemic in
Missouri physician
Thinks.

That the danger of an epidemic
of typhoid fever is less than
usual this fall on account of the
heavy rains, is the opinion of
DR.. M. P. Ravenel, professor of
preventive medicine in the
School Of Medicine of the Uni
versity of Missouri at Columbia.
The fact that some places in the
state may have more than the
usual amount Of typhoid cannot
he explained, says Doctor Raw
enel, by local conditions.
The chief methods of natural
publication of water, the M. U.
doctor explains, are dilution and
sedimentation. Dilution h a S
been brought about by the
heavy rains. In addition, the
rains have carried waste matter
from the surface of the ground
and from the small streams to
the large streams where it is lit
tie used for drinking.
Were it earlier, says Doctor
Ravenel, malaria might be in
creased after the rains, but the
heavy frosts several days ago
have stopped the breeding of the
mosquito.
Notwithstanding the fact that
no special danger is expected.
the School of Medicine is taking
precautions against typhoid.
About 5000 doses of anti-ty-
phoid vaccine have been distrib-
uted this fall. This vaccine is
made and standardized at CO.
lumbia and is distributed free
on request to any physician in
the state, with full directions
for use. The making and dis
tribution Of the vaccine was be-
gun last November, after the
typhoid ravages of last year.

FLOWERS WITH FOOD VALUE
Men Of Science Beginning TO Think
That Possibly the World Ha0
Overlooked Something.

The food value Of flowers is g
matter just beginning to interest the
scientific world. Violets are said to
contain considerable n%ourishmert.
They formed the basis Of a refresh
ing drink, and in other forms figured
conspicuously in the feasts Of the
ancient Persians. The modern con-
fectioner crystallizes them in sugar.
The old Turkish CONNECTIONS made
of rose leaves are declared delicious
by those who have eaten them. A
number Of cooks have discovered
that a handful Of rose petals imparts
a flavor Of unparalleled delicacy to
desserts Of many kinds.
For those who do not care for
sweets the gayly colored %nasturtium
offers delights to the palate. 1t may
be used as a filing for sandwiches,
mixed judiciously with other mate
rails in salad. Its delicious pungen-
cy appeals to the epicure, while ply
sicians say it aids digestion.
A favorite italian dish now being
introduced into this country consists
of fried squash blossoms. When
properly prepared this food is both
appetizing and n%ourishing. The yell

pumpkin may be cooked in the same
way, and to some tastes are even

HALLOWEEN RECEPTION
Cadets Entertain Young Ladies
of Both Colleges and Town.

On Saturday evening the ca
diets gave q reception for the
young ladies and faculties Of
Central and Lexington Colleges
and for the people of Lexington.
The gymnasium was decorated
in yellow and black and lanterns
were hung from the ceiling.
The cadets marched into the
large hall a little after eight
o'clock to see a line Of beauti-
fully gowned young ladies with
the most hideous faces. What a
shockl In spite of the pain of
this great disappointment each
cadet was forced to choose a
partner, put some kind of smile
on his face and strive to enter
tain her, Soon after this move
ment had been executed, the ca
diets were disillusioned. With
one deft stroke Of the hand, the
grotesque countenances of the
ladies were changed into beauti-
fully smiling ones. The spirit
of the party changed. The pain
full expressions worn by the ca
diets turned into broad face-split-
ting smiles snappy conversation
could be heard bounding and re-
bounding from end to end, from
side to side, and from ceiling to.
floor Of the festive hall. So
great was the enthusiasm that
the charm of Capt. Days splen-
did six piece orchestra was fully
appreciated by the chaperons
only.
To add to the general conclu-
sion, a Halloween Special edition
of the %Trumpeter, and ginger
bread and cider we're served. The
Trumpete r contained a fas-
cinating article on Directions
for Love Making" and gave
many fattering or embarrassing
characteristics of most Of the
cadets present.
The party was torn up at ten
o'clock and the chaperons alone
were able to bear up with smiles
at this juncture.-W. M. A..

HOW TO CURE MEATS
PART OF SHORT COURSE

University of Missouri Gives Ac-
tuaI Practice in Farm Butch
ering to Agriculture Students.
The farmer who is tired of eat
ing improperly cured meats or
who loses money each year in
butchering is not a graduate of
the Two-Year Winter Course in
Agriculture of the University of
Missouri at Columbia. In this
course students are taught to
kill, cut up, and cure their own
meats.
Actual practice is given the
students in the short course in
slaughtering beeves, hogs, and
sheep under farm conditions.
The meat slaughtered is cut up
and cured by the students. The
relative values of the different
cuts are learned. The instruct
ors show how to make them and
how to use economically the
cheaper cuts.
The University is provided
with farm equipment for butch
ering and curing meats. Two
half-days a week are given to
the class in butchering during
the second term of the last year.
A card addressed to P. M.
Brandt, Superintendent of Short
Courses, Columbia, Mo-, will
full Information about the
instruction given in butchering
and about other courses given
the short course students.

Grease That Plow!

The best tools go soon enough.
Ounces of grease save dollars
in repairs.
The seeds of rust and decay
bring a harvest of loss to the
farmer.
If machinery displaces men
and horses it demands more
care than ever.
Keeping the polish on a mold
board may be better than shin
ing in society.
Simplicity, reliability, dura-
bility, and accessibility should
be sought when you buy tools.
At the University farm we get
good results from a mixture of
whiting and hard oil. First
make a thick paste then thin it
by adding more oil. Apply to
the moldboard with a brush and
rub off with a gunny sack just
before using the implements in
the Spring.-M. A. R. Kelley,

%ONE-FOURTH u PRICE
is POWER COST AT N. u.
Engineering Experiment Station
Has Economical Gas-PrO-
ducing Machine In
stalled.

If your city council or engi-
neer is spending too much mon
ey for power to run an electric
lighting or commercial plant,
the Engineering Experiment
Station of the University of
Missouri at Columbia might
give you some information
about a new gas-producing plant
that is being used in the labora-
tories of the School Of Engineer
ing, which produces power eco
nomically.
The plant makes gas directly
from coal at a cost of about one
fourth that of steam power. One
horsepower an hour is produced
by the engine with one pound of
coal. Steam plants usually re-
quire from four to six pounds Of
coal for this amount Of power.
In the new plant the coal is
only partially burned. Over a
slow fire, it becomes carbon
monoxide, the fuel gas, instead
Of the worthless dioxide, which
is made in complete combustion.
A special washing system makes
the gas clean when it is piped to
the container or to the engine.
With the engine, the gas pro-
Queer at the University labora-
tory cost approximately $1,000.
The gas producer can be used to
supply a gas engine running a
lighting plant, a mill, a water
pump, or it may supply gas for
any other fuel purposes. A let
ter to the Engineering Expert
ment Station of the University
of Missouri, Columbia, Mo-, will
bring information to any one
interested in the new gas pro-
ducing plant,

HOW TO DOCTOR STOCK
TAUGHT IN SHORT COURSE
Students in TwO-Year Winter
Course in Agriculture at M.
u. Learn to Treat An
imal Diseases.

When cholera breaks out
among the hogs or tuberculosis
gets a start in the dairy herd.
The farmer who has taken the
Two Year Winter Course in Ag-
riculture at the University of
Missouri at Columbia will know
what to do. How to control
these diseases is part of the
work in veterinary science given
in the short course. The course
this year begins November l,
and ends February 26, with a
vacation between terms from
December II to January 10.
The short course graduate is,
in fact, a fair horse-doctor. He
knows the structure and
functions of the animal body
and the symptoms and treat
ment of common disease. He
has a knowledge Of how to do
minor surgical operations and
can take care of an accident that
occurs among the live stock.
Casting animals, dressing
wounds, making bandages and
administering medicines is
taught in theory and actual prac-
tice to the students in the second
half Of the first year.
In the second year, the student
is taught to tell the age Of a
horse, to treat diseases of the
digestive organs and to attend
to diseases of injuries to bones,
joints or skin. The methods of
handling horses and how to feed
and care for them is also given
attention.
Lectures and laboratory work
will be given the short couree
students in veterinary science.
Practice in actual veterinary
work will be furnished by minor
operations and p~ost-mortem ex-
aminations. These will be as
much practice as the student
can do. The man learns how to.
do as well as why to do it in this
course.
A card to P. M. Brandt, Super
intendent of Short Courses. Co.
Mo-, will bring a free
bulletin telling about all of the
courses offered.

FINISH SOWING WHEAT
No More Hessian Fly danger I'm
til Next Spring.

During the last few weeks far
mers have had many false
alarms on account of small hop
ping insects which have been
mistaken for the Hessian fly.
Many samples of these leaf-hop-
pers are being received by the
Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station. They are small
and when very abundant in
wheat may injure it somewhat
if warm weather continues long
enough, but their injury is
usually not severe.
These leaf-hoppers vary from
an eighth to a quarter of an inch
in length, jump much as grass
hoppers do, and may be green.
grey, or variously colored and
striking. In addition to these
points which distinguish them
from the tiny mosquito-like Hes
sian flies, the hoppers have four
wings while the fly has only
two.
AS there are rarely any Hes
isan flies feeding this late in the
fall, all wheat-sowing should be
finished at once if not already
done. There need be absolutely
no delay on account of the hop
pers.
