LOWERING THE DEATH RATE
Report Shows a Gratifying Decrease
in the Victims o! tuberculosis
During Recent Year3.

AT the convention OF the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. held recently at
Seattle. II was shown that the nation
nj death rate from tuberculosis has
decreased from 3e6 per 100000 In 1880
TO 1f6.6 in 1918. This decrease is
equivalent to the saving of 179.027
lives in a single year 1t proves that
the fight against the scourge is being
waged wisely and effectively.
1t is estimated that there are to-
day 100000 'consumptives in the
United States. Their existence means
an economic loss of S2li,50O,O00 a
year. Any movement to lessen the
number CT sufferers is commerdable.
not only from the standpoint of the
humanitarian. but also from that OF
the practical economist.
Such figures are highly interesting
Just at present They show that while
moro than half the world is almost
wholly absorbed in the work of taking
life. the American republic remains
concerned in the business of saving
life. Tho contrast between the hu-
manitarians in session at Seattle and
the strategy boards which are meeting
today in all the great European cap
itals is sufficiently striking.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

FINE STOCK FEED
MUCH GOOD FARMING BEING
DONE IN VICINITY OF
MARTEL

In the Munroe & Chambliss Bank
vestibule are two punches of grass
that catch the eyes Of all who enter
the bank They are punches of Sou
dan grass, plant imported from
Africa to Texas, and now coming to
Florida.
/ This grass would seem to be espe=-
cially adapted to Florida. It was
raised by Mr.. Walter Ray on his farm
near Martel- The punches m the
bank are over seven feet high, heav--
lily headed and luxuriant in foliage.
The grass was raised on high pine
land, and was seventy days from
planting to cutting. 1t is excellent
for both forage and pasture. Mr..
Ray had in trial acre, and is so wen
pleased with the plant that be viii
put in fifty acres.
/ The grass was brought in by Mr..
Chambliss, who is an enthusiastic
farmer as well as an astute banker.
He was looking over Mr.. Rays farm
yesterday and found $50 acres of
corn, ESQ acres of velvet beans, ESQ
acres of melons and 120 acres of sor--
ghum planted for syrup and another
hundred acres broadcast Mr.. Ray
begins shipping melons this week. He
has SO mules, 100 fine shorthorn cat,
tie and more Duroc hogs than he can
count. Mr.. Chambliss says Mr.. Ray
is even smarter as a farmer than as
lumber and naval stores man.
Mr. Chambliss also looked at the
splendid farms Of Messrs. L. D. Beck
and Shearer in the vicinity. He high
iy praised their cultivation, and says
as long as we can have such farms
there is no need to dread starvation.

| things and once more, with solemn
emphasis, to call Germany's attention
to the grave responsibility which the
| United States conceives it has incur
red in the tragic occurrence and to
the undisputable principle upon which
the responsibility rests.
The United States is contending
for nothing less high or sacred than
the rights of humanity. Only the
Lusitania's actual resistance to cap
i ture or refusal to stop when ordered
to do so for the purpose of a visit,
could have afforded the submarines
commander any justification for as
much as putting the lives of those

HOPES TO BE MET HALFWAY
The note closed as follows: The
government of the United States
earnestly and solemnly renews the
representations of its note transmit
/ ted to the German government on
May 18th, and relies in these repre-
sentations upon the principles of hu-
manity and the universally recogniz-

and ancient friendship of the German

German government to question these
rights. 1t understands it also to accept
as established beyond a question that
| the principle of the lives of nom
combatants cannot lawfully or right
fully be put in jeopardy by the cap
ture or destruction of unresisting
merchantmen, and to recognize the
obligation to take sufficient precau-
tion to ascertain whether the suspect
ed merchantmen is of belligerent ma

/ war under a neutral flag. The gov
ernment of the United States there
fore will adopt measures necessary to
put these principles into practice in
respect to safeguarding American
lives and American ships, and asks
the assurance that this will be done.
