TAG AND STAMP ACT.

IAU AMI SIAMP ACI.
The following article was issued
this week by the Tennessee Depart.
meht of Agriculture:
According to a statement Just
issued by the Tennessee Depart
ment of Agriculture the statute
specifically relating to the sale of
agricultural seeds is being flagrant-
ly violated in different parts of the
State by dealers who are selling
seed without the inspection tags
and stamps required by law to be
affixed, and for which there is &
penalty of 500 for failure to do SO.
In order that this law may be
enforced, the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture has asked the cooperation
of the farmers and planters. AS
they bear the expense of carrying
out the provisions of the law thev
entitled, therefore, to it's benefits.
They are paying for a guarantee
of purity and termination of seeds.
BY little care and attention and
cooperation they will be certain to
get what they are paying for.
PROVISIONS OF ACT.
The act to regulate the sale OF
agricultural seeds provides that
every parcel, package or lot of ag-
ricultural seeds containing one
pound or more, offered or exposed
for sale in Tennessee for use in
this state, shall have affixed there
to on the outside thereof, distinctly
printed or written, a statement GER
tifying:
First, the name of the seed:
second, full name and address of
the seedman, importer, dealer or
agent; third, statement as to the
purity of the seed contained, spe-
cifylng the kind and percentage OF
the Impurities, if any, etc. Fourth,
the locality where the seeds grown
and where grown. The act further
provides, that the term agrictural
seeds, as used in this act, shall in
,lude the seeds of the red clover.
white clover, alsike clover, alfalfa,
kentucky bluegrass, timothy,
prone grass, orchard grass, red top,
meadow fescue, oat grass, rye grass
md other grasses and forage plants,

# the same law is as follows:
"For the purpose of defraying
he expenses connected with the
nspection and analysis of agricu-
arai seeds, each and every import
r, dealer or agent, before selling
fferlng, or exposing for sale in
his State any of the agricultural

diseases and Preventive Medicine
OF the University Of Tennessee,
medical department, Memphis, has
Issued the following paper, which
is OF interest to the readers of The
Chronicle:
J Malaria is preventable disease.
J Amount OF loss due to malaria is
very difficult to calculate. The
Bureau of Vital Statistics for 1913
gave Memphis death rate from
malaria of seventy-nine per one
hundred thousand living. The
same report gave New Orleans
\ nineteen deaths per one hundred
thousand living. New Orleans had
the advantage of the advice and
influence of Senior Surgeon j. H.
White, United States Public
Health Service, who made such
brilliant record in the yellow fever
fof 1906.
When the United States Govern
ment undertook the building of
the Panama Canal, the corps of
sanitarians under Gorgas went in
advance and put things in condit-
ion before any considerable num-
J ber of men were employed on the
works. In the beginning the
amount of sickness from malaria
was enormous. At the present
time the sickness and death rate
among employees proper in the
Canal zone is considerably below
= that of the cities of Memphis and
Nashville. We have then the ir-
REPUTABLE evidence that malaria is
preventable.
If seventy-nine deaths from ma
laria occurred in Memphis in 1913,
and these figures we're correct, it
means that there were in that year
Atty thousand cases of malaria in
Memphis. It is true that practi-
eally all of this was imported from
the surrounding country, but with
respect to the economic loss, one
may figure that those $4,000 cases
represented loss of time equiva-
lent to 100000 days, and doctor
BILLS amounting to perhaps quar-
ter of million dollars. If we add
to these considerations the fact
that the overwhelming number of
these cases of malaria occurred in
people of the working class. with
whom. an economic loss is serious
matter; if we further figure that :
those people must reckon with an
additional period of time during
which their earning capacity has
been diminished, il is not too much
TO say that the story of one years
malaria in one city represents
loss of over million dollars.
Now, how can we curtail this
normous economical drain?
The disease is not due to bad air :
as ito name would suggest, but it
is due to blood parasite, which :.
entering the red blood corpuscles, :
destroys them and multiplies in
doing SO. This blood parasite is :
in only one way-that :
is by the bite Of mosquito which !.

HERBERT DIscLosEs HIS RULING
PASSION.

This morning great number Of
kilograms, letters and flowers came to
Herbert from kitty's friends in.
Dick must have gotten my telegram
and told them the sad news.
But not one word 10 me from him.
About nine o'clock the expressman
brought wonderful blanket of roses
from Jim and Harry. and Eliene sent
enough lilies and roses TO make the
room a bower.
Herbert looked at the flowers with
smoldering antipathy and seemed TO
resent them more and more. Think
how much good all this money would

1t seemed 10 me that Herbert might
have forgotten his poor for a little
while. He was going to have such a
long time TO remember them in and
such short time TO think OF Kitty.
