A MARKE EFT FOR LIVESTOCK

The various commercial organiza- tions of cities and towns sincerely desiring to render service to farmers and stockmen nearby can find a wav. one that will also help the people of the cities and towns. The most inn portant assistance would be markets which would take care of the live stock economically and enable the city consumer to get fresh meats at less cost. This could be done by es- tablishing municipal abattoirs to slaughter and dress animals under reasonable inspection and with mini mum cost.
 Every city in a country where live stock are raised could save it's citi- zens in the cost of living by a free municipal abattoir. Those who raise animals for fresh meat could have the animals dressed under sanitary con. ditions and sell the meat without the necessity of shipping or sacrificing the live animal to a buyer where there was no competition.
 Such an opportunity to create a market for livestock and meat would mean much to the city and town that provided such abattoirs. It would be the means of converting livestock into cash to be used in buying farmers necessities sold in the town and com munity. It would give the farmer with but a few hogs, cattle or sheep during the year chance to sell them and use the cash to save the credit account. The business men would get the benefit of cash trading, the banks have chance to increase their de posits and the city consumer could buy fresh and cured meats at a saving in the cost of unnecessary handling.
 No greater encouragement could be given to diversification of crops than to provide a local market for live stock and other farm products. The municipal abattoir would be good beginning. It would be a start in cooperation that would build both town and country.-Farm and Ranch.

HOW WOMEN MOTORISTS SHOULD GET THROUGH TRAFFIC

In the February Woman's Home Companion there begins a new de- partment called "The Woman Motor- ist" which contains information writ ten by an automobile expert and adapted to the needs of women who drive automobiles. Among other things We read:
 "Perfect familiarity with your car and it's operation should help. Nerv- ousness in traffic comes from a fear that one won't do the right thing. Use second gear freely. At every en7 forced stop, slip instantly to first gear, to be ready to move ahead quickly when the time comes. Make mo turns without signaling. Watch the signals of the driver in front and keep fifteen or twenty feet behind him. Forget the man behind; he won't run into you any more than you will into the man in front. Don't drive in traffic until you operate your car without having to stop and think as to which pedal is clutch and which brake, and which position of the lever is first, second or high"

TO the Manila Bulletin. A news story
published BY that paper says:
complaining that 1t Is unjust TO
compel the carrying Of government
mails without remuneration. the Phil
ippine Shipowners' Association has
requested the board Of public utilities
TO protect them against the loss of
revenue which they now suffer as q
result of the orders Of the director

customs obhging them to render this
service free OF charge.
The shipowners state that prior to

from the transportation of express
packages, but that now, although the
government collects freight charges
in postage on the packages sent by

for transporting the same.

over a similar period of time last
year. This is one of the facts brought
out by the report of the board of
health for March.
In 1914 the number Of new eases
from July l to April l amounted to
4S1; in 1915 to 492, and for the pre-
sent period to 719 Deaths for these
three periods of time numbered 272,
233 and 301, respectively.
November and December of 1915
brought the largest number of deaths
since last July, this being the time
of the severe rains, and probably
thus responsible for the rise above
normal
At the present time there are 1918
cases known to the bureau of persons
in the territory having the disease.
Two years ago there were only $50.
