What is the most important attri-
butte of a soldier?
Good feet?
No.
Good eyesight?
No.
Good brains?
No.
What then?
Good teeth.
A soldier may have good feet, good
eyesight, and good brains, but if he
has bad teeth. he can't eat. If he
can't eat he can't march near enough
to the enemy to see him and use his
brains to fight him.
How does a soldier get good teeth?
BY having good teeth in childhood.
How do children keep good teeth?
Through being taught by their
mother how to keep their teeth clean
and having their teeth looked after
while they are growing. This makes
good teeth for future soldiers.
1t would seem then as though the
first patriotic duty of mother was TO
keep her children's teeth in good con-
dition.
1t is.

AMERICAS LARGEST TREES
J F0TTND DTTRTNG C0NTE

Il
s, Much data of general interest and
of considerable value to foresters
has been collected as result of
big-tree contest recently conducted by
the American Genetic Association.
Several hundred photographs and
descriptions of large and unusual ma
tive trees in various parts of the
country were submitted to the or
ganization during the course of its
competition, and through the infor-
nation thus gathered a number Of
Exceptional specimens of certain
species have been discovered" The
contest embraced a. search for the
largest nut-bearing and non-nut-bear
ing trees in this country, excluding
the gigantic Sequoias of the Pacific
coast, which for size surpass all other
trees. in the world. The results of
the contests and pictures of the prize
winning trees are published of the
March Popular Mechanics Magazine.
What undoubtedly is the largest
deciduous tree now growing in the
United States is a sycamore near
Worthington, Indiana, which at 5 #
from the ground measures AZ #. 8 in.
| in circumference. It's height is ap-
proximately $50 feet. According to
tlocal claims this remarkable specimen
is inferior to one long since felled in
the same district which had girth
of 81 #. A valley oak which meas
ures 81 it. in. in circumference was
the largest nut-bearing tree found
during the contest. This is situated
in San Benito County, CAL, and reach

season it bears ton of acorns. Ameri.
ca's largest elm seems to be "The
Great Elm" at Wethersfield, Conn.
which at the base has circumfer

to be about $50 years old.

FIGHTING MALARIA
How The United States Public Health
is Meeting The Malaria Problem-
Means of Observation-Disclosures
The Mosquito and Drainage.

Four per cent of the inhabitants
of certain sections of the South
have malaria. This estimate, based
on the reporting of 204,881 cases
during 1914, has led the United
States Public Health Service to give
increased attention to the malaria
problem, according to the annual re-
port of the Surgeon General OF 49,
426 blood specimens examined by
Government officers during the year,
1877 showed malarial infection. The
infection rate among white persons
was above eight per cent. and among
colored persons twenty per cent. In
two counties in the Yazoo Valley, 40
out of every 100 inhabitants present
ed evidence of the disease.
Striking as the above figures are
they are no more remarkable than
those relating to the reduction in
the incidence of the disease following
surveys of the Public Health Service
at "a places in nearly every state of
the South. In some instances from an
incidence Of fifteen per cent. In 1914,
a reduction has been accomplished to
less than four or five per cent, in
1915.
One of the important scientific dis
coveries made during the year was in
regard to the continuance of the dis
ease from season to season s.Over
1000 Anopheline mosquitoes in malar-
ious districts were dissected, during
the early Spring months, WITHOUT find
ing a single infected insect, and not
until May Is, 1915, was the first
parasite in the body of a mosquito dis
covered. The Public Health Service
therefore, concludes that mosquitoes
in the latitude of the Southern States
ordinarily do not carry the infection
through the winter. This discovery
indicates that protection from malaria
may be secured by treating human
carriers with quinine previous to the
middle of May, thus preventing any
infection from chronic sufferers reach
ing mosquitoes and being transmit
ted by them to other persons.
Although quinine remains the best
means Of treating malaria and is also
of marked benefit in preventing in
lection, the eradication of the disease
as a whole rests upon the destruction
of the breeding places of Anopheline
mosquitoes. The Public Health Ser.
vice. therefore. is urging a definite
campaign of draining standing wa
ter, the filing of low places, and tbs
regarding and training of streams
where malarial mosquitoes breed. The
oiling of breeding places, and ths
stocking of streams with top-feedins
minnows, are further recommended
The Service also gives advice regard
ing screening, and other preventive
measures as a part of the educa'
tional campaigns conducted in sec
tions of infected territory.
This study is typical of the scien
| tific investigations which are being
carried out by the Public Health Ser
vice, all Of which have direct bear
| ing on eradicating the disease. Th'
malaria work now includes the. col
lection of morbidity data. malaris

trict of California has introduced in
to the House of Representatives bill
Ito acquire, construct and maintain
a national defense highway; to pro-
vide employment for citizens of the

as our Northern and Southern Bound
airy lines.
A National Highway, to be used
in times Of peace by automobiles, au-
to trucks and other vehicles for COM
mercial and healthful purposes.
A National Highway extraordinary
useful, when war threatens or we are
attacked. Over it men in greatest
numbers and munitions and supplies
can be transported quickly to any
point North, South, East or West.
A National Highway, 10000 miles
long, that will give work at good
wages for many years to at least 100,-
600 American citizens in good times
and to several times that number in
"hard times" The employment Of new
men periodically will add greatly tc
our trained reserves.
A National Highway providing

TIME TABLE
SEED CORN ADVERTISING.

Home grown seed corn, repeatedly
found "best by test" will be one of
the most sought-for farm commodi-
ties next spring. Those who have
high grade seed corn for sale in
fairly large quantities should let
others know about it.. Otherwise
seed taken by faith from other re-
gions may be planted and not only
the individual but also the community
will suffer. Advertisements of seed
corn in the home paper, however
modest will surely bring results be-
cause they will likely reach the men
who will be the most likely customers.
If the farmer has high-class seed corn.
his advertisement will add to his
reputation as a good farmer and
business man and at the same time
confer a benefit upon the community.

GROW ALFALFA SAYS EPxERT.

"Cast your alfalfa before swine
and your wife will wear pearls" says
the Kansas alfalfa expert, Cobrun, in
urging Ohio farmers to begin grow
ing this profitable legume. alfalfa
is adapted to almost any region but
must have a soil sweetened with lime
and inoculated with soil from a sue
cessful alfalfa field or sweet clover
corner" Many farmers have failed
with alfalfa because of poor seed and
careless methods in providing pro-
per seed bed. Mr.. Coburn points out
the facts that alfalfa is an ideal feed
for horses, cattle, sheep, swine and
chickens. Land that grows alfalfa
is worth so per cent. more than
land that has not been made to grow
this queen of legumes he claims.

Mr.. Terrell was born in Huntsville,

spent the early years of his life in the
south, on the boats on the Mississippi
river. acting in the capacity of stew

land AZ years ago and opened the first
barber shop in the Harper hotel, when
it was under the management of Ben
Harper. At that time Mr.. Terrell was
barber on a boat running between
Memphis, Tenn, and Rock Island, and
was prevailed upon to stay here and
enter business.
The shop in the Harper was located
on the first floor of the building and
was for many years the principal bar

This has meant the employment. of

two Of the most active candidates for
governor and two for senator will have

it will cost each one approximately
$4,000. The expenses will not cease
until the polls are closed as some of
the candidates, it is declared, will have
