PLANT PECAN TREES,

Native to the South, at home
practically everywhere from vir-
glnia to Texas, the pecan is at
once among Che noblest AMI most
useful trees. Highly valuable
for fruit, itis a beautiful orna-
mental and shade tree as we'll.
Thus combining as it does both
utility AMI beauty, it should be
found on every farm in the South.
Particularly attractive il an
avenue Of pecan trees leading up
to d farm home. There are to-
day in the South uucounted
thousands OF hot, dusty lanes
that are terrors to travellers and
teams alike, but that might be
made invltingly cool and attrac-
tive by row Of pecan trees on
either side, and not only would
their shade be welcome, but in q
few years they would provide d
decided addition to the income
from the farm.
There will never be a better
time than the next few months
to start some pecan trees, and we
would suggest that right now,
while the matter is fresh in your
mind, you write to your state ex-
pertinent station, stating your
local conditions, and ask their
advice as to the best varieties
all the nearest reliable dealer.
A feW pecan trsas planued now
viii probably bear many crops
before yon are gone, and after
wards your children and your
grandchildren will reap where
you have sownand bless you.

REMARKABLE RECORD ON
BAGGAGE CLAIMS.

The record made by the the
Nashville, Chattanooga e. st.
Louis Railway the past year in
the handling of baggage ON it's
lines is truly a remarkable one,
when. one stops to consider the
thousands Of pieces of baggage
handled within a twelye-month
period on q railroad.
The annual report recently
submitted to the stockholders
shows that during the year the
loss and damage claims paid on
baggage was only $309.l8 as
against $1,8O3.9O the previous
year. 1t is doubted if any other
railroad IN the country can show
such a record.
While the payments for loss
and damage to freight showed
a material reduction last year
as compared with the previous
year, the claim department
through a campaign for better
packing anl distinct marking Of
freight, expects to still further
reduce payments Of this charac-
ter, AMI has asked the eo-opera-
tion of all shippers to this end.

no introduction to the readers of

Fourth Of July Tetanus

The United States Public Health Service is
sues the following warning:
Back in 1905 there were 104 deaths IN the
United States from Fourth of July tetanus this
figure representing about the average annual
mortality. In 1914, as result Of the institution
of better prophylactic treatment by physicians
and the widespread agitation for safe and sane
Fourth the number was reduced to 3. A year
ago the u. S. Public Health Service expected and
predicted that every youngster in the United
States would be safe from this disease, basing its
estimate on what had already been accomplished.
When the returns came in it was found that a
boy down in Maine had been injured, developed
tetanus and died. That single fatality was only
one among several hundred thousand occurring
in the United States during 1915, but it resulted
from Fourth of July tetanus or lockjaw, pre-
ventable disease, and was therefore an unneces-
sary death. The loss of this boy makes it neces-
sary to again disseminate information regarding
this wholly avoidable infection.
The blank cartridge wound is the great cause
of Fourth of July tetanus, but injuries from
crackers and firearms are at times responsible.
When driven into the tissues the wadding carries
with it innumerable bacilli. If these be tetanus
bacill the poisonous products or toxins resulting
from their multiplication produce the disease
Tetanus bacilli thrive only in the absence of oxy-
gen. 1t is for this reason that the physician en-
larges the wound of entrance and after removing
all foreign material dresses the injury in such a
manner that development of the organisms is
inhibited. In order to accomplish this it is usual
ly necessary to administer anaesthetic. Anti
tetanic serum is of great value as prophylactic
and it should invariably be given in injuries of
this character.
Parents should realize that Fourth of July
tetanus is easy to prevent but extremely difficult
to cure, the disease being attended with mortal
ity of more than 95%. No blank cartridge wound
is too trivial to receive careful medical atten-
ton. However slight the injury may appear,
summon competent physician who will at once
institute the necessary prophylactic measures
Reliance upon home treatment may prove disas-
trous and result in the needless sacrifice of life
