ARMIES AND HEALTH.

With typhoid and measles sweeping
the battlelines Of the warning ma
tions of Europe, the question is
raised as to which kills the greatest
number of men, bullets or diseases.
When the American army went to
Cuba, to Porto Rico, to the Philip
pines, it moved behind a skirmishing
line of American doctors. How those
medical men did wage war on disease
the greatest foe Of the soldiers.
These doctors attacked diseases in
the water which the warrior must
drink, in the soil on which he must
lie while on battle line or field of duty,
in the food which he ate and even in
the air that he breathed. As they
vanquished the foe the soldiers ad-
vanced with no enemy other than the
sword and gun.
The European nations rushed into
war without thought of the lives of
their men. They could sec NJ need
other than that of having millions
Of men In the field. No doctors or
medical authorities went to the froct.
Consequently the great number of
deaths from contagious diseases.
True, the nations thought that they
would send doctors, nurses and dis
infectants later but disease will not
wait for time or tide. The plight Of
the soldiers Of this war is as dire as
that of the hapless soldier Of centur-
les ago. The same maladies are in
camp and on the battle field, and the
same freedom Of onslaught is given
the foe of health. So it is too, that
death Is reaping the same bounteous
harvests.
America cleaned up every region
which its armies touched. II made
pest places become health resorts.
This country saved more lives ma
tive to those regions, times over, than
It's armies slew. In her very wars,
It win be seen. our nation is construc-
tive.
Possibly all the nations viii learn
from the unfortunate peoples now en-

They will plant Calhoun's Red Cob
Corn, and everyone says he will fol
low instructions and do his best to
produce 100 bushels per acre. The
balance of the eighty boys who join
ed the club will plant New Era and
native corn ontheiracre.
About 100 girls joined the Can
ming Club. Seed furnished by the
government were distributed among
them. All seem very enthusiastic,
and no doubt good results will fol
low.
Fifty-two head of hogs were In
Occulated in this month, with good
results.
Three farms in the vicinity Of Mad
isonville were selected by the con-
sent of the owners to be managed
under our methods. Two farms al
Vaudeville and several in the Bus.
neighborhood will follow our instruc-
lions in farm work, either wholly OF
in part. l have others at Blond
Waldheim, OWL, Goodbee, Lacomb
and many around Covington.
Some time was lost due to sick
ness in my family, and to the fact
that l was summoned away to court,
on one occasion for four days. Some
time was spent with Prof. E. S. Rich
ardson in visiting schools viii the
Louisiana State University auto with
moving picture machine attached.
In March ffty-five bushels of seed
corn was received and all but small
part has been distributed to farmers
who expect to make an Improvement
in the yield of corn.
Fifty-four head of hogs were in
occulated this month, with good re-
suits.
Much time has been spent during
the foregoing three months period,
and much time had to be given to the
few acres of Strawberries started
around Covington and jacksonville.
Eighty-fve acres of berries are now
in very good condition, and with a
good rain soon, no doubt, good yields
will be harvested. Next year will
no doubt see this industry greatly
increased and on a profitable basis.
Early plants will be on hand and can
be planted when the ground and
weather is most favorable. The eS-
pense will be less correspondingly.
Taking as whole, great improve
ments have been made in the parish
during the past 10 months. More
farmers are using home mixed fer
tilizers, more are using good seed,
more are doing better blowing and
more of it. More new land has bsen
taken in and placed under cuitiya-
tier this year than ever before, and
a wholesome spirit in agriculture is
manifested.

fell to $41,000,O00 and the trade bal
ance in favor of the United States
dropped $10,O00,OOO to $9,OOo,OOO for
the week, the smallest in months. OF
the decrease in the balance, $4,000, 900
was due to increased imports and
$S,000,O00 to decreased exports. Of
ficials have no detailed information re-
garding the decrease in exports, but
the presumption is that it was due to
reduced exports Of wheat and cotton.
Cold stored foods are wholesome, If
properly handled, and the cold storage
food Is vitality necessary, according to
Professor A. v. Stubenrauch, head of
the department Of pomology of the
University of California, who ad-
dressed the fortieth annual meeting Of
the American Academy of Medicine.
"The assertion that cold stored fruits
or vegetables, or any food, are I'M
wholesome as such Is erroneous" he
said. Gold storage alone has never
resulted in unwholesomeness, unless
the product was held beyond the limit
Of its possible usefulness"

PUlNTS OUT NATURES ERROR
Mr.. Gwlmpleton Turns Aside From
Daily Duties to Discourse on
Matters Of Conscience.

Wealth. as we know" said Mr..
Gwtmpleton, rs very unevenly dis
tributed. but conscience is more so
Some men are overburdened with
conscience; some have none at all.
Some people worry themselves sick
over this or that real or imagined
transgression of the civil or the moral
law.
There are others who worry only
that they cannot safely transgress the
more.
Between these two extremes we
have the man commonly described as
overconscientious. meaning one wor
thy but timid. who lets a conscience
too keen and active keep him from
betterments Of his fortune that he
might otherwise compass. Then we
have those people who are not trou-
bled in such ways. who are all but
conscienceless and whose conscience
really lies dormant
1T Is true, too, that q thing that
may stir one mans conscience may
not touch another's; we are differ
emily constituted. There appears to
be no absolutely definite standard Of
conscience applicable to and actual.
ing all men alike. This enormously
complexities the conscience situation.
But still the great primary diff.
Guilty lies in the uneven distribution
OF conscience. II we could only have
something like an even distribution
OF such conscience as now exists 1t
would, for one thing, in some meas
ure reduce piracy in its manifold
forms as now practiced under civilized
conditions by men without conscience,
and for another thing, it would by
reducing the stock of the man Of abb
normal conscience, spare him the wor-
riments that now beset him and let
him take without Qualms whatever
benefits rightfully belong to him. In
TACT, more even distribution of con-
science would tone up the world gen.
orally and make it in many ways q
vastly more comfortable world to live
in.
Pending that happy day 1t be-
moves US, l supposed any rate, my
friend MacBlink, a well meaning and
cheerful but not always overtrustful
man. says 1t does-to be still more or
less wary in our dealings with our
fellow man in order to avoid subject
ing our we'll meaning but weaker
brother to undue temptation. and to
avoid being circumvented by some
body who was perhaps overlooked en-
tirely in the conscience distribution"

Cost Of Road Maintenance.

The department of agriculture esti-
mates the cost of maintenance and re-
pair of mile Of brick road at $500 a
year. exclusive Of interest Something
depends on the location Of the road
and the traffic 1t must bear, but prop
erly constructed brick road under Ordi-
nary usage should not require that
much for upkeep. There Il az yet no
telling what any road will require for
maintenance under the heaviest of
modern traffic. One thing experience
has made reasonably sure Is that wa.
ter bound macadam roads are simply a
means of wasting money. The roads
Of the future should be built to stand
hard usage. for that is what they are
going to get with the increasing use OF
mechanical power
An account that achieves the cham
pionship as long distance runner is
almost invariably dead one.
