Under the Circumstances It Is Some

Could Have Done Otherwise.

Tended some men who were accused
Of stage robbery. A week afterward,
with some companions / was Seeing
off" a London mining expert who
was about to depart on the stage
coach. After a round of drinks he
said to me joeularly, 81 may meet
some Of your clients on the road, |

"C~ertainly," l replied. l stepped to
the hotel desk and on a sheet of my
Office paper which l happened to
have in my pocket wrote: "To all
road agents Please pass the bearer
and oblige me"-signing my name
thereto. With a laugh he pocketed
the note, and we babe each other
good-by.
That night, sure enough, the stage
was stopped and the passengers lined
up and relieved Of their money and
valuables by masked highwaymen.
When my friend was reached he
handed my note to the robber, ex-
claiming, "Here, my man, is a note
for you" The robber carried it tC
the stage coach lamp, read it and
handed it to the captain Of the gang
who read it and with a grin tha'
could be seen below his mask ex.
claimed, "Thats goodp and passed

GROUND LIMESTONE
FOR MISSOURI SOILS
Lack Of Lime Cause of Many
Glover Failures, says Uni
versity Soil Expert.

.
Ground limestone will be used
as commonly as barnyard ma
nure by many Missouri farmers
of the coming generation says
N. F. Miller of the Agricultural
Experiment Station of the Uni
versity of Missouri at Column
bia. The results of the expert
ments on the University soil ex-
pertinent fields, according to Mr..
Miller, give reason for this
statement. On some Of the
fields absolute clover failures
have been changed to clover
Successes by the application Of
two tons of ground limestone.
This does not mean that lack of
lime is the cause Of all clover
failures. A soil depleted in its
supply of humus, with a conse-
quent deficiency of available
plant food, the removal of the
best Of the surface soil by wash
ing on some of the rolling lands
and the lack of an adequate
drainage on some lands are just
as certain to cause clover fail
ure. Very often two or three of
these conditions exist. Where a
soil has been reasonably well
! cared for, when it is we'll drain
i ed and still grows clover poorly,
, lack Of lime may be the single
cause. Very often a lack Of
: humus and a lack of lime are
jointly responsible for clover
/ failures. Both must be added il
9 clover is to be entirely satisfac
e tory. Where lime is badly need
4 ed, however, it must be supplied
before clover stands are sure.
f The farmers Of Missouri
: should inform themselves re
e garding the matter Of usinI
: lime and the need of their soil
n for it. We must grow clover
Our soils must be in the RICH
condition to do it. Lime is no
d a cure-all for every trouble, how
,e ever, on many soils the use c
e ime is necessary. !.

HOW TO PREVENT
INFANTiLE PARALYSIS
Present Spread of Epidemic
Brings Words Of Warning
From Medicine Authority.

rum ruculOiHc AutnOflty.
According to DR.. M. P. Raven
ell Of the preventative medicine
department of the University Of
Missouri, the present acute and
severe epidemic of infantile
paralysis should be guarded
against with the utmost care
and precaution.
Although not a very fatal dis
ease, as the mortality seldom
goes over 16 per cent, says DR..
Ravenel, it usually leaves in
jury which last for life in the
shape of more or less extensive
paralysis in various parts Of the
body. The onset Of the disease
may be very mild, and the Sc
robustness of the trouble not rec
ognized until after two or three
days when paralysis begins in
one or more limbs. In some
cases paralysis is the first thing
to be noted. There may be in
flamation of the tonsils or dis
turbances of the gastro-intestin-
al tract. In some epidemics this
disturbance Of the digestive sys-
tenn is the most prominent
symptom. In some there is a
mild form of meningitis or ton
silitis. After exposure to the
disease there is an incubation
period Of from seven days tC
three weeks before the appear.
ance of the disease. The dis.
ease is passed by exposure t
the virus, which is contained il
the mucous membranes of thu
nose and throat and also in tn,
bowel. 1t is most prevalent il
the warm dry months.
In prevention, the point O
most Importance is strict isola
ton of the sick. Insects hav.
been supposed to carry the dis
ease, consequently the room
should be screened to avoid thi
possibility. All discharges fror
the patient and all linens sole
by such discharges should b
thoroughly disinfected befor
they go out Of the sick room
During an epidemic all childre
should be kept out Of crowd
Their digestive system should /
looked after carefully, and the
should not be allowed to sui
ject themselves to extreme e.
ercise or heat. The use of publ
drinking cups, common towe
