Maryland Practically
Free From Quarantine.

No territory in Maryland is now
under quarantine for foot-and-mouth
disease except the Baltimore Bucthers
Abattoir Company's pens and the
Union Stock Yards. Of Baltimore. The
order making this change is effective
July 2. 1t frees Connecticut, Kansas
and West Virginia altogether, and
reduces the quarsntines in Kentucky
and Virginia to restrictions on the
stock yards at Louisville and Richmond
similar to those imposed upon the
yards at Baltimore. These are still
not permitted to handle live stock ex-
cept for slaughter. The same order
frees FIVE counties in New York, four
in Pennsylvania. and one in Illinois.
With these reductions. the area in
the United States now under quaran-
tine for foot-and-mouth disease is
practically confined to stock yards,
three counties in New York, two in
Pennsylvania, four in Illinois, and one
in New Jersey. Even in these the
regulations are far less stringent than
formerly.

OLD AGE SAID TO BE
KILLING THE Y0TNG.


e Z. Rittenhouse. president OF the

recently an address in which he called
attention to some startling health
facts. Investigation made by the In

Gates an alarming rate OF increase in
deaths from breaking down OF the
heart, arteries, kidneys and OF the ner-
vous and digestive systems An inn
portant improvement is also shown in
connection with typhoid. tuberculosis
and pneumonia.
The Institute has made physical ex-
aminations Of 5.009. 600 employed men
Their ages have averaged about thirty
years. II has been found that about
Z. per cent. are normal About s. per
cent. had minor physical impairments.
81 per cent had defects moderately
important and in need OF attention and
per cent. were suffering from seri-
Gus impairments. Nearly all had all
ments that were durable and would
cause no serious consequences If Civ
en- prompt medical attention. Those
examined were employed in CONNER
ciaI houses and the data obtained may
be accepted as fairly indicative Of ply
sical conditions among the people Of
the country in general
The Institute finds that there was an
increase Of 43 per cent in the deaths
from kidney diseases. IS per cent. in
the deaths from heart failures. 30S
per cent in deaths from apopleNy and
diseases of the nervous system and
22.5 rer cent in deaths from liver ana

deaths annually in this country from
those causes. which should be old age

under the OF forty, and 10000 be-
tween the ages of. forty and sixty He
estimated that so per cent. Of those

We hear from many men and Won
en- who desire to study agriculture and
who cannot leave their homes or their
present occupation TO go TO College
even for a short course. In order to
provide for the people so situated. the
Extension Service OF the Maryland
Agricultural College has arranged to
give Instruction BY mail. as a part Of
its service to the people Of the STATE
It has been fully demonstrated thai
instruction by correspondence is rrac-
teal and Il IS recognized as an efficient
means Of giving valuable information
and direct systematic study. While
such instruction lacks some of the ad.
vantages Of personal contact which
resident study gives, yet it has some
advantages Of its own.
The student taking a correspondence
course IS thrown upon his resources
and thus develops selfreliance. He
comes in contact with the instructor
through correspondence as an in
dividual. not as a member of class.
CORES spondence study enables the stu
dent TO employ his spare time in his
home. while permitting him to pursue
his daily work. Il thus furnishes an
opportunity for the busy man ard
woman on the farm. the ambitious
teacher, and the young student Of lin
tied means to gain knowledge that
win increase his efficiency and make
his labor more profitable TO himself
and useful 10 society.
The courses offered have been pre-
pared by the teachers and specialists
at the College and Experiment Station
and, therefore. follow similar lines as
the instruction given in the respective
subjects at the Institution. They are
planned so as 10 be Of special adaps.
