MANY AGENCIES AT WORK
Most Active Fight Against Tubercu-
Iosls ls Being Carried on at
Numerous Points.

Statistics made public by the Ma
ional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis show that
nearly 5000 agencies are now listed In
the fight against tuberculosis In the
United States, an increase of 1000 per
cent since 1904, when the national
warfare on this disease was started.
These figures are taken from a new
tuberculosis directory issued by the
association.
The list includes 557 sanatoria and
hospitals, 1853 tuberculosis boarding
houses, 80 hospitals for the insane and
30 penal institutions making special
provision for tuberculosis, 455 dis
pensaries, 80 open-air schools, and
1924 antituberculosis associations
aud committees. To these are added
15S Canadian institutions and associa-
tous, making total of 3,0S7. The d.
rectory also gives summary of mu-
Aicipal and state legislation on tuber-
culosis.
When the national association was
formed In 1904 and the first list Of
agencies was printed, only 1873 organi-
cations and institutions were found.
The second edition Of the directory in
1908 reported $40 different agencies
and LAO were listed in the third edi-
ton published In 1911. On the basis
Of the latter figures, the number of
agencies in the antituberculosis move
ment has increased 115 per cent in the
last five years.

How to Feretell Weather.


II you want fine WeaIner, look for
fine weather signs. Here are some OF
the most reliable, for they are based
upon scientific facts:
When the sun sets in a sea of glory
that Is. when the sunset sky Is red, you
may expect clear weather on the fol-
lowing day.
At night, when the moon is clear and
shows clean edges, with no halo or ring
Of mist surrounding 1t, there Is little
danger Of rain.
When the wind blows steadily from
the west, the weather will continue
fair: II very rarely rains in our eastern
states with the wind in the west.
Watch the smoke from a chimney or
from YOUR campfire-it Is a good ba,
rometer. II the smoke rises high, II
means clear weather. The smoke will
also show you from which direction
the wind Is blowing; SO will a flag on
an upright flagstaff.
A gray early morning-not heavy,
cloudy one-promises q fair day.
A heavy dew at night Is seldom fol-
lowed by rain the next day. Think OF
1t this way and you will remember:
Wet feet, dry head.
II there are no clouds at the western
horizon, you need not worry about 9TH
ers.
Animals are said often to show by
their actions what the weather will be
and there Is reason in this. Some OF
them certainly have q knowledge Of
coming storms. We are told that spi-
ders are especially sensitive to weather
changes, and, when they make new
webs. the weather will be fair; IL they
continue spinning during a shower, II
will soon clear on.

Experimenting on Wheat.

The slender angular head of the
wheat stalk with its needlelike barbs
the characteristic of the American
grown CROPS doomed, If Professor
William F. Freedman, graduate of
Cornell university, is successful in ex-
periments in wheat production. Pro-
fessor Freedman has at his Disposal
wheat specimens gathered from all
quarters Of the globe. Among these
is the "bearless" and "fOrked-head'
product of Russia. His experiments
aim primarily to reproduce an accli-
mated American wheat that possesses
the "beardless" and "forked-hea6' or
tripodlike properties of the Russian

A Universal Thought.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The country, regardless Of political
creed, was united by a single thought yes
lerday when the news was flashed around
that Colonel Roosevelt had been taken
suddenly i'll. Until 1t became known that
there was nothing seriously the matter
with him, thousands Of people felt a
strange Juggling in the same anatomical
region as that in which the colonel SUI
ered. Thought was stimulated, imagi-
hation was fired, memory was aroused
lnd there took place one OF those psyche
ogical upheavals that bear eidence to the
lniversality OF understanding. 1t Is not
necessary to attempt to formulate into
words the thought that was uppermost
n the public mind. It was not expressed,
ind will not be expressed, but it was no
ess real on that account 1t has been
laid that thoughts are things This Is
conceded when they are expressed. Here
was a big. spontaneous thought that has
Pm eloquence OF its own that springs
from the fact that 1t was not expressed.
All the friends Of Colonel Roosevelt are
happy to know that his slight indisposi-
lion has not even impaired his robust
Aumor.

Electricity Kills Insects.

A process has just been developed in
the department Of agriculture by
means of which insects and pests may
be killed by electricity. The process
consists in the application of salt wa
ter to the ground that Is to be treated,
and then causing a current Of cleo
tricity to pass through the soil. The
current generates a gas which will in
stantly kill all germs, larvae and in
sect pests in the soil, without in any
way injuring the vegetation. A large
area of ground can be treated by dig
ging shallow trenches in which a pow
erful current can be developed.

For Unified Railroad REGULATION.

from the CnlCaRO news,
One plank OF the republican national
platform that is likely to be thought of
great Importance by the American public
after 1t has been carefully studied Is that
Interstate and intrastate transportation
have become so interviewer that the at
tempt to apply two and often several sets
of laws to its regulation has produced
conflicts Of authority, embarrassment in
operation and Inconvenience and expense
to the public. The entire transportation
system of the country has become essen
such action by legislation, or, II neces-
sary, through an amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States, as will re-
sui in placing it undr exclusive federal
1t is a fact that regulation of railroad
transportation systems essentially ma
tional in their character-which In the
among the nation and the various states
penetrated by the system in question
has produced confusion, inefficiency and
waste. Comparatively few railroads lie
wholly within the limits Of q single state.
and even those that cross no state boun-
Diary depend for their principal usefulness
upon cooperation with Interstate trans
portation lines. Thee can be little doubt
that better results would follow in the
long run from the establishment of a
single agency for the exercise Of control
over carrying corporations and certainly
the cost of regulation would be reduced to
the public.
state boundaries are commonly arbi-
trary. Public utilities, as a rule. are
either primarily local in their nature or
else they perform interstate service. The
movement for local control Of local public
utilities and the movement for national
regulation of utilities that are nationwide
in their scope consistently go forward as
part Of the same general effort to promote
efficiency.
Unified regulation of railroads Is a
policy that is rapidly growing in favor on
Its merits, now that the experimental
stage OF public control Of those great
transportation agencies has passed.
