For a Mangy Cat

Would you mind giving this recipe to the woman with the mangy Maltese cat?' Mix to smooth paste a teaspoon of sulphur with a tablespoon of lard Rub some of this with absorbent cotton on the affected parts. It will cure pussy and start new growth of hair, if done faith fully night and morning. Also, put a pinch of sulphur in her milk and water Do not wash the cat while giving it treat ment or she will become stiff with rheu- matism. Try this remedy for a couple of weeks Don't worry if she lick it of.
 "A CONSTANT READER"
 Having bred and raised Angora cats and Manx cats for number of years, I offer my advice to F. o. W. in regard to her cat. My diagnosis at long range is that MT. Tom has canker of the ear Mange is located mainly on the under part of the body, and is contagious Ec. zema is not contagious and appears on the back and on neck and legs. The cause of eczema is poverty of the blood, lack of exercise, worms, or facilitating affections The male cat is more susceptible to canker of the ear, and they will scratch the ears and head till the places bleed; and ~n bau cases lose the tip of the ear. It will not harm the cat to be treated for canker and eczema for few days or weeks may be- so wash his ears there will be a trownish discharge in them) ou1 with warm water, adding a little disinfectant then drop generous pinch of roracic acid deep into each ear, holding the ear closed for a second so heswin not shake the powder out. For eczema rub on the sore places a mixture of flower of sulphur and vaseline, and keep it up even after the scabs form, as this will help the growth of the new hair. Give .--e cat some good worm medicine then feed him good food and give it to him regularly
 "F. F. M"
 'If the one who has the cat with the mango will rub sulphur and lard on the bad places it will heal it if the case is not of long standing. Make a paste and apply i. carefully. If he licks it off the sul phur will act as blood tonic. Keep this up until new skin forms. I am an inter- ested reader of the Corner and find many useful hints in it. I wish you and it much success, MRS. G. w

NEWPORT is TOO LAX.
Ii Morals Don't Improve, Station VIII
BE Removed, Admiral Knight
Tells The President.

There was a large crowd at the
meeting in the Opera House at New
port Saturday afternoon to consider
the question raised by the letters re-
Gently written by Rear Admiral Knight
and Captain Roger Welles, of the Ma
val Training Station at that place, as
serting that unless moral conditions
were bettered none of the young men
of the station would be allowed lib
erty there.
Rear Admiral knight told the audi
once that Newport would lose the sta
tion altogether unless conditions were
bettered. and, further, that the Allan
tic fleet would not base in Naragansett
Bay If the officials of the city did not
stop illegal liquor selling, gambling
and other evils. He gloried the COM
mon sailor, the enlisted man of the
navy, saying:
Take one thousand men from all the
walks of life, like the men of this audi
ence, and one thousand men from the
enlisted personnel-not selected men.
but typical enlisted men-and the navy
men would beat out the civil men every
time. The enlisted men of today is q
fine specimen of manhood"
Captain Welles said it is easy for
the young boys at the naval station to
obtain liquor there, and many of them
do so and become drunk.

Tobin's Eccentric Hen Has Nest Under

The placing Of an ordinary black un

of School Commissioner William Fl.
Tobin. of Caldwell, n. j., has excited
the curiosity of nearly every passerby
to the extent that a path has been worn
from the sidewalk to the spot covered

The Commissioner has explained the
reason for the presence of the umbrel-
la at such an unusual place One of
his hens had grown tired OF being
housed with the other fowl and had
sought out the rockery as a resting
place. Just to make her comfortable
Mr. Tobin placed some eggs under her
and Mrs. Hen has warmed up TO the

$4,000 MORE MEN

Department Puzzled by Lack Of
Sailors for Proposed New

THE DEFENSE PLAN.
Few Join Navy Reserve---Navy' $
Strength in 1922 Approximated.

The Navy Department is puzzled
greatly concerning the best means TO
be employed in increasing the person
mel SO that there viii be enough sail
ors on the active list to handle the
ships which are proposed under the
Gve-year building program.
The naval officers who have opposed
Secretary Daniels's theories have in
sisted for more than a year that the
service at present is short about $4,000
men. They have stated repeatedly that
Il is useless to have ships unless men
are trained 10 care for them.
The present shortage of approxi-
matelyl1S. 900 men viii be about doub-
led when the new proposed new ships
are commissioned. The first pears pro-
gramme does not call for an increase
OF men. but it is believed that the third
and fourth years sections Of the pro-
gramme will ask for an increase.
The Reserve Law, which was passed
by the last Congress in the hope Of ere
ating a great naval reserve from the
best of the sailors and petty officers
who quit the service. has proved 10 be
a failure to date When this act was
passed Secretary Daniels thought that
a reserve OF 25.000 men would he in

WORKMAN SUICIDES.

Oscar David, employed as laborer
by Thos. Brogan of St. Peter, met his
death by throwing himself in front of
the westbound passenger train on the
Northwestern road near the criminal
insane ward at the state hospital Fri
day morning. He and Chas. Morgan
and James Cavanaugh were on their
way to the road grading work near the
Kruger place south of the state hospital.
When they reached the Northwestern
railroad tracks near the state hospital
they noticed the passenger train coming
on the bridge. Cavanaugh and Morgan
crossed the tracks and David remained
behind. After they had crossed in
safety Morgan looked around to see
what had become of David and was
Mortified to see him leap and lay his
head across the rail in front ofthe APP
preaching train. It was too late to
stop the train as he did not make the
leap until it was about two car lengths
away. His head was completely severed
from his body and carried about twenty
feet.
Not much is known about David.
He was about IS years of age and
came here but few days ago from
Mankato and entered the employ Of
Mr.. Brogan. He did not say much
about himself and was Of somewhat
morose disposition and never asso-
ciated much with his fellow workers. ei
An inquest was held Saturday morn
ing ct nine o'clock at the Klein UNDER
taking rooms. St. Peter Free Press.

VITAL STATISTICS OF COUNTY
County Seat Shows Greatest
Increase.

If the vital statistics, as tabulated
by the State Board of Health are any
criterion, then the town of Stately for
the year 1914 was the healthiest spot
in the county Of Brown, for there were
no deaths reported there during the
year as against IL births for the same
period of time The most sterile spot
according to these statistics, is Evan,
where not one birth was reported
during the entire year. New Ulm,
of course. heads the list in the matter
of births and also in the matter of
deaths. New Ulm's births totaled 155,
as against 81 deaths, making the number
Of births almost twice as many as the
number of deaths reported. New Ulm's
births are almost twice as many as those
of Sleepy Eye and Springfield COM
bined. The total number of births
reported in the entire county are 555
and the total number of deaths 226,
trifle more than twice as many births
as deaths. Owing to a lack of funds
the department of health was unable
this time to make copy of the reports
sent in, which in previous years have
been filed with the clerk of court, so
that the Clerk of Court will not be in
shape to give any certificates as to
births and deaths during the year 1914.
Prior to the year 1909 the town clerks
OF the various towns and other registrars
of births and deaths of the county
sent their monthly reports to the Clerk
of Court who tabulated them and for
warded them to the State Board of
Health. Since the year 1909 the law
has been changed and the reports are
sent direct to the State Board of Health
and by them tabulated. Copies have
been made of the original records and
filed with the Clerk of Court. 1t is
to be hoped that the present legisla-
ture will vote enough funds SO that
copies can later be made of the origi-
nal records of the year 1914 and sent
to the various clerks of court of the
counties, in addition to providing funds
for subsequent years. There were 10
more births and II more deaths for
the year 1914 than there were for the
year 1913. The number of births
reported for the year 1913 were 545
and the number of deaths 200. The
births and deaths as reported are as
follows:

ROAD FUNDS ARE APPoRT1oNED

The State Highway commission has
sliced the road and bridge fund be-
tween the eighty-six counties of Mime
sofa. None of the counties will get
the maximum amount of three per
cent this year, amounting to. $4,000
and thirty counties will get the minimum
allotment of $14,800. Ramsey, Henne-
pin and St. Louis counties, by far
the biggest contributors to the state
fund each will get back $4,000 in
state aid. This is the same allotment
that was received in 1914, when the
total road and bridge fund was $50 1000
less than this year.
The twin cities to Duluth highway.
the main road connecting. the twin
cities with the head of the lakes was
aided in the increased allotment to
Pine and Chisago counties. This was
granted at the request of the delegation
from Ramsey and St. Louis counties,
but the commission already had pledged
to assist in the building Of the road.
Last year Pine and Chisago counties
received only the minimum apportion-
ment of $4,000. This year Pine gets
$21 1000 and Chisago $4,000.
Brown County received as it's allott-
ment $4,000 of the total $780, 900
distributed. Blue Earth receives $685.
900; Nicollet, $4,000; Redwood, &c.
500; Sibley, Watonwan and Cotton
wood, $14,800 each.
