SOME FACTS ABOUT
 PUMA THE PANTHER

Puma the Panther is not a true panther at all, but was so called by the early settlers and the name has stuck. He boasts several other names such as Painter, Cougar, Catamount, American Lion, Mountain Lion and Sneak Cat. The latter fits him ex cellently.
 His range originally covered prac tically all of North America and South America, and on the latter con- tinent the Puma is still numerous. He has been driven from the east, and is very rare indeed there. He is T large, sleek, graceful animal of brownish drab color with a whittish throat, short ears, long legs and tail. A large specimen will measure seven to eight feet from tip of nose to tip of tail, and will weigh from two hun dred to two hundred and twenty-five pounds, and is one of the best of the tree-climbing cats. His resemblance to lioness is doubtless responsible for his name of lion. The early set tiers were in mortal fear of him, ana yet authentic cases of men being killed by puma are rare indeed. He will sometimes follow man in the woods always keeping out of sight, but it is usually more in a spirit of curiosity than with any idea of attack.-Thoru- ton w. Burgess in The Green Meadow Club, in The Peoples Home Journal for June.

Previous tuberculosis in the family occurred in practically a third of all the cases investigated. Dissipation. overcrowding, bad housing and innate lack of personal responsibility, were also listed as causes.
 An interesting feature of the re- port, and one which has not previous ly been dwelt upon in studies of this character, relates to the effect of inn migration and the rate of growth of the population of a city upon the tuberculosis death rate. It is shown that cities with a population com posed largely of racial stock having a limited resistance to tuberculosis are subject to high mortality rate from that disease, while centers having slow rate of population increase are likewise subject to high tuberculosis rate. The evidence is submitted in comparative table covering sixteen American cities. Almost without ex- ception those with a high percentage of Irish, Scandinavian and German stock, and those in which the negro population is relatively large, have a correspondingly high mortality, while those where the Italian and Jewish element is proportionately great have a low tuberculosis death rate. Simi- larly, such cities as Detroit and Cleve- land, with high rates of population increase, show low tuberculosis mor- tality, while Cincinnati and Baltimore with relatively small population in- crease have a high tuberculosis rate. Doubtless the true explanation of this discrepancy is that advanced by the authors, namely, that where the population increase is rapid new buildings are erected to take the place of old insanitary structures and better housing conditions prevail.

CLEAN AND COOL MILK.

Clean and pure milk is the best food for young children and is a great food for all. Dirty milk is a poison Let everybody learn to have clean milk. It means clean udders of cows, clean hands of milkers, sanitary milk pails, and pails scalded after every use, and clean cool places for keep ing. Why not set the cans of strained milk in bigger cans or tubs or water in a shady place or in an iceless re- frigerator? The Extension Division of the Arkansas College of Agricul- ture and U. s.

POVERTY AND TUBERCULOSIS

Poverty and observation-disclosures loss and poverty! These are the es- Sential facts which force themselves to the attention of every investigator who faces the problem of that disease. The tenement house district of Gin cinnati yields a tuberculosis morbid lty just three times as great as the areas where better housing prevails. In l97 families in which tuberculosis existed the average monthly income for family of four was approximate ly S57 After paying the pro rata share for food and rent, balance of S513 remained for each individual to meet all other expenses. Such low subsistence level works like black magic in the spread of tuberculosis. Moreover, and this is a point over which the public should ponder, the home of the average wage earner was found to be far less sanitary than the average factory and workshop. In
 
 for healthful living, ventilation, suf- hclent light, proper temperature, and freedom from overcrowding, the score was in favor of the factory in nearly every instance.
 The city of Cincinnati realized that her tuberculosis death rate was 50 Der cent above the average and that It had failed to manifest a tendency to decline. She felt no qualms in mak- Ing this admission. Rather, she de- 'ermned that she would learn why, With an efficient health department ana favorable climatic influences, she was suffering from twice the mortal ny from that disease as her neighbor, FittSburgh. Accordingly the United States Public Health Service was re- quested to make thorough study of the situation and submit a report. To snow that something more than mere academic interest obtained, 1882 workers in 154 factories of the city voluntarily submitted to physical examination.
 bhe conclusions reached, point di- fectly to the close connection between poverty and tuberculosis. The great factor underlying the entire problem was seemingly that of economic con- u'tions. One sixth of all tuberculosis ,aSes came from cheap lodging houses. Aicohoilsm was prominent cause, ana often accelerated the course of '"e disease. Occupational hazards ana bad working conditions were ap- p"rently responsible for about 20 per se". o1 the cases, but in the majority VI instances these hazards were not necessarily inherent in the occupation.

YOUNG ROCKEFELLER IN
 NEW INDUSTRIES

In the June American Magazine Albert w. Atwood says:
 John D. Rockefeller and his broth CT William are too old to tread upon unbeaten paths or found new in dustries. But William Rockefeller's millions. it is important to remember, are now in the aggressive hands of his son, Percy A. Rockefeller. It Is the sons initiative which made the family money available for the giant steel merger of this new era of merg- CTS, and he it is who has struck out boldly into a new field, more untried and bewildering than the oil industry could have ever been.
 Percy Rockefeller is the moving spirit and largest stockholder in what is likely to prove one of the two most ambitious efforts yet made in this country to extract nitrogen from the air The world as We know it cannot go on without nitrogen. 1t is infinite ly more fundamental to our existence than petroleum or steel, or anything else except, perhaps, the oxygen which we breathe. There seems to be no likelihood of the oxygen in the air failing us, so humanity is not threat ened with suffocation. But the soil. which produces all food, threatens to wear out and starve the human race unless it is artifcially replenished with nitrogen"

 The suffragists have been or ganzcd in the South for a long time. and special efforts have been made by the cause leaders to win Tennessee. Both the National Woman Suffrage As sociation and the Southern States Woman Suffrage confer ence held their annual conven- tions in Tennessee in 1914.
 Notwithstanding the suffrage advantage in time, Mrs. Dodge succeeded in making many con verts. Even relatives of promi- nent suffrage leaders have come out for the anti side after one meeting-even when their suf- frage friends had failed to con vert them in years of effort.
