In these days of nearly worldwide

campaign in which all civilized nations

during the past year. The fight be-
tween the human race and disease is
carried on without regard to diplo-
matte agreements or international
boundary lines. Probably the only or

part of the world, there being as yet
no evidence that the present world
wide epidemic of this disease, which
started about twenty years ago has
begun to subside. A marked decrease
was shown in India, where, in 1911,
there were S46,S73 deaths from this
disease, while in 1913 there were only
217,148. On the other hand, the re-
ports for 1914, so far as received,
show an increase. Cholera was also
less prevalent in India in 1913 than
in previous years. There were no
serious epidemics of yellow fever dur
ing the year in any part of the world.
As the London Lancet well says, IN
commenting on DR.. Johnstone's re-
port, these annual summaries possess
more than passing interest They
place on permanent record many
facts, the true value of which is more
likely to be recognized in the future
than at the present time. They will
be of service as works of reference to
future students of bubonic plague,
when the great pandemic now pre-
vailing has spent itself and disappear
ed. The same remark holds good as
regards cholera and yellow fever,
both of which may before long, we
hope, come to be placed on the list
of disappearing diseases. The time
will come, predicts The Journal of the
American Medical Association, as
scientific knowledge increases and it's
more thorough practical application
becomes possible, when the only
knowledge the human race will have
of these diseases, which have devas-
tated mankind since the dawn of
history, will be the records of past
epidemics. Our knowledge of such
epidemics in previous generations is
vague, and is based largely on general
statements. Definite records from
year to year of the gradual decrease
of preventable diseases will be of the
greatest scientific and historic value
to future generations.

Kansas Comment
FRANK SNOW 10 K. 5. A. c.

MANN SNOW III IL .. "a. -
The Kansas farmers are greatly IN
terested in promptly receiving accur-
ate information on the work of the
Agricultural college and Experiment
station. While this information is
eventually made available through the
printing of bulletins, it is through the
columns of the Kansas Industrialist
that valuable information is most
quickly placed before those most in
terested. Prof N. A. Crawford, heal
of the agricultural Journalism and
publicity department of the college,
who gets out the Kansas Industrial
list and teaches farm writing is to
have Frank Snow, a well known news
paper man of Topeka, as his associate.
Mr.. Snow is especially well qualified
to take up this work of getting to the
farmers of Kansas the results of ex-
perimental research in a thoroughly
understandable form. He has had q
number of years actual newspaper ex-
line was on the staff of a paper in
South Africa. He has been with the
Topeka State Journal for a number
of years, and during the past year or
so has been writing special articles
on agricultural subjects. In securing
the material and preparing these spe-
cial articles he las demonstrated his
ability to do the kind of work that will
be of great benefit to the farmers of
Kansas who look to their great agri-
cultural school for advanced Informal
ton on farming subjects. The college
is fortunate in being aLle to secure a
man of Mr.. Shows qualifications for
this work.-Kansas Farmer.

On Houses.

On Houses.
If YOU want to have a satisfactory
home it is often said you should build
two, the first to find out what mis-
takes to avoid. the second to live in.
Unfortunately few of us are in a
position to correct our mistakes so
comfortably as that. Why not then
try to use other peoples mistakes as
basis for our successes?
know two young people who are
planning to build a home some day.
AS preparation. they study every
home they enter and jot down in
book which they call THE Little
House Book" all the advantages, dis
advantages and economies which they
discover. They talk to people VINO
have built homes and find out what
schemes have turned out well and
what have failed Needless to say the
home builders are never averse to
talking about this fascinating subject
and saying what they are going to DO
differently next time" They cut out
all the excellent plans and suggestions
which the various magazines and
newspapers furnish. They send for
catalogues of all sorts of materials,
finishes, etc, and study the aoVan-
tages and values, and comparative
prices.
OF course they will make some mis-
takes in the end. Everybody does:
But I'm willing to wager they Will
not try to take advantage OF other
peoples failures.
These are a few of the things they
have learned:

THE TARIFF LAW FAILURE.

So rapidly is the government deficit
growing and It will SOON be of such
proportions. that the Democratic
statesmen at Washington face the
probability of having to resort to their
old friend, the bond issue, to provide
for the payment of the ordinary ex-
penses of the government. And their
excuse that their tariff law has not
been given an opportunity to show
what it can do as a revenue raiser be-
cause of the European war will not
bear the closest of scrutiny. 1t is
true that at the beginning of the war
there was a considerable halt in i'm
portations to this country. But such
is not the case these days, and yet
the revenues that the tariff law is
returning are of Insignificant proper
lions. Indeed, the volume of imports
for a whole year back do not fall far
short of what they were during the
similar twelve months of the year be-
fore, and the year before the war.
This is shown by some recent govern
ment statistics that were collated, of
course, by Democl attic department
heads at Washington. They place the
imports of merchandise for a years
period ending August 81, 1915, at
$1,66S, 698,934, as compared with i'm
ports to the value of $1,906,657,5
for the same twelve months of a year
ago. This is a falling off of approx
mately $237,O0O.0OO. Such a sum can
not be called a large one in relation to
the total volume of imports. Certain
ly it is not sufficiently large to ex-
plain the tremendous falling off in the
tariff revenues under what they were
during the operation of Republican
tariff laws. Indeed, the comparative
import figures. just noted, are pretty
conclusive evidence that the excuse
of the Democrats that Europe's war is
responsible for the falling tariff reve-
nues is no excuse at all; merely a con-
venient dodge. The fact seems to be
that the Democratic tariff law is a
failure as a revenue producer. And
more important fact is that it affords
no protection to the American manu-.
facturers or laboring men, and this is a
fact that will be pressed home in
more expensive fashion WI en- the war
is over; provided, of &C u-se, that the
Democratic tariff law is then doing
business at it's old stand.
