MANILA TO SPECIALIZE
ON TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS
(By Associated Press.)

Manila, Sept. "A portion of
Manila, set aside as a model town
ship for tuberculous persons and
their families, is a plan which the
Philippine Islands Ant-Tuberculosis
Society has just submitted to the
Municipal Board. The Society has
already acquired large tract of
land in the Balic-Balic district of
Manila and is to establish bg san
atorium there.
For years the Society has main
tanned sanatorium at San Juan del
Monte, a suburb. of Manila. This
was established through the efforts
of Mrs. Eleanor Franklin Egan, an
American writer, but the manage
ment of the Society has since passed
into the hands of Filipinos who have
kept the work going.
San Juan. del Monte is the site OF
Fone of the city reservoirs and this
1 led to a movement to change the site
of the sanatorium. Balic-Balic has
lbeen selected but here the sanator.
ium is to be the center of a settle
ment where relatives of the tuber
culosis patients may live. Plans are
being laid for the opening of &
school on the site and it is hoped
to include in it's enrolment chldreI
of delicate health in the other pub
flic schools of Manila. The schoo
will be an open air institution, th'
first of is kind ever attempted in th'
Philippines.

EPIDEMIC WHICH AFFECTS
CATTLE IN PHILIPPINES
(By Associated Press.)

Manila, P. l., Sept. 7.--Rinder-
pest, a cattle scourge common in
the tropics, has assumed the proper
tions of serious epidemic in the
Philippines, causing the deaths Of
hundreds Of work animals--carabar
and cattle-weekly Governor
General Harrison has called upon ev-
cry department of The insular gov
ernment to cooperate in checking
the disease, which is difficult mat
ter because there are practically no
fences in the Philippine country. It
has been decided tn establish lab
oratory for the manufacture of anti
rinderpest serum, Increase the force
of veterinaries and build more i'm
munization stations.
The constabulary troops will be
concentrated in one province at O
time and thus seek to control the
epidemic. In 1897 the worst of the
epidemic occurred and it was esti-
mated that 80 per cent Of the ami
mails on the islands died. In 1901
the disease killed 35 per cent Of the
animals. This year the disease thus
far has claimed only about six
tenths Of one per cent.

RUSSIANS MAKE MANY
CHANGES IN CABINET
(By Associated Press. }

Petrogad,' Sept. 6. The recent res.
ignation of s. D. Sasonoff, for six
years minister of foreign affairs in
Russia, and the resignation Of A. N.
Naumoff as minister of agriculture.
to be succeeded by Count Bobrinsky,
makes the nineteenth change In the
council Of ministers since the begin
ming of the war, and leaves P. l.. Bark.
minister of finance, and l.. X. Gregor-
Oyitch minister of marine, the sole
survivors of the original thirteen mem
bers Of the cabinet who held office IN
August, 1914.
This record is remarkable in coun.
try where constitutional government
has never developed beyond the en-
bryo, where ministerial responsibility,
general elections, votes of confidence
and other parliamentary procedures.
which lead to the overthrow Of entire
ministries, are unknown. Before the
war the average tenure of office was
long, but during the past two years,
it has been measured by months and
sometimes by weeks. It is also inter.
esting that the frequent designations
and dismissals have in the main borne
no relation to party politics and that
men have been replaced by others Of
the same party Affiliations and without
any conspicuous difference in politi.
cal vews.
In the case of each dismissal there
has been a complete change in the
personnel Of the department and the
ministry of finance is the only ono
, which has not been upset by an al
most continuous series Of appoint
ments, dismissals and reappointments.
During the period Of the war, there
have been two prime ministers, two
foreign ministers, three war mnsters,
and five ministers of the interior.
The ephermeral character of min
isterial post in Russia has provoked
considerable comment, for the most
part facetious or satirical, in the Rus
sian press. "In the morning. when
they wake up, says writer in the
lRUSSKY SLOVA, "all our ministers
do the same thing. Each one ex-
claims Thank God, am still min
ister!"

WHOLESALE EXECUTIONS
OF YOUNG TURKS
(By Associated Press.)


London, Sept. 9.-The wife Of
General Townsend, who surrendered
at Kut, has arrived in Constanti-
nople on a visit to her husband, ac-
cording to The World. It proceeds:
Permission was asked for her to
make the journey directly after the
of Kut, and the Turks
seem to have made no opposition. No
bne knows the minutiae of the Kut
better than Mrs. Town
send, and she will be able to tell her
husband not merely the criticism Of
the campaign, but Of the personal
tributes to himself.
Meantime, so I gather from a
friend who left the city frequently.
life is quiet in the capital, though
There is much hostility to the Young
Turks, and constant conspiracies
with wholesale executions, in which
very little attention is paid to in
nocence or guilt, the principle Of
Judburgh justice being extremely
with Enver. Only certain
articles of food are dear in the Turk
fish capital. Bread is cheaper than
in England, while meat is not dear
at all. Sugar and coffee rule high
in price, however, while the supply
of luxuries is exhausted.

HE CUT OUT THE :.
DANCE OF COURSE

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. "a very
prominent Atlanta society man who
is famous for his good looks. his
magnificent wit and his unlimited
capacity for high balls was attend
ing dance at one Of the exclusive
smart set clubs, and the array Of de-
butantes was particularly pleasing
to the eye.
But strange to relate, the hand
some Atlantain did not dance. After
going through one or two convolu-
tions he retired to a corner and took
a seat behind the potted palms,
where he sat and fidgeted and
watched the chickens with hungry
expression in his eye.
Presently his absence from the
dance floor excited comment, and a
delegation" of his friends went
lover to the potted palms and de-
manded an explanation.
How in the hell can dance with
these saddle bags on my hips?" was
the handsome Atlantan's retort,
and then the delegation understood.
1t is the custom nowadays, since
latter day prohibition became effec-
tive, for gentleman to carry along
his private supply when he goes to
a social function. Otherwise he will
spend a thirsty evening, for the clubs
have cut out booze. Like all the 9TH
ers who find an evening dull without
a highball, the handsome Albanian
had shipped half pint bottle in
each hip pocket, but being a man of
large frame and rather more girth
than he could show in his younger
days. he found it impossible to carry
the liquor and dance at the same
time. In such a situation he cut
out the dance as a matter of course.

purebred animals in twenty.three
counties was 45 per 8ent.
Alachua county leads the list with
an increase of 300 per cent purebred
animals and from 200 to 300 per cent
increase in the total number of hogs.
Several counties gave an increase Of
100 per cent. Alachua county shows
large grains because Stafford Burgis,
the county agent, emphasized hog
raising.
The reports also show a stimulated
interest in the hog cholera eradica-
tion. Out of twenty-six counties re-
ported eighteen reported a decided
lessening from the year previous.
Four reported an increase, and the
remaining counties were about the
same. II these counties can be taken
as an index for the State, cholera is
decreasing. However, 1t is evident
that conditions are better In the DEM
onstration districts, as the agents have
given much assistance in urging and
helping the farmer stamp out this
disease, and at the same time encour-
aging a larger scale of hog raising,
particularly in the demonstration
counties.

Two Ways of "cIeanins Up"


Some years ago n young man from
a small country town, on visiting Gin
cinnati, walked into one of the down
town burber shops to have his hair
cut.
After the barber had clipped for
some time on the young mans head, he
asked him If he hadn't better have his
hair cleaned up. The young man, after
glancing at the hair on the floor and
thinking the barber was trying to put
one over on him, said he guessed not"
After asking the same question sew
eral times to no avail the barber gave
1t up. The young man paid his bill
and went from the shop, laughing to
himself, thinking he wasn't SO green
after all.
Afterward 1t dawncd on him that
the barber wanted only to give him a
shampoo.
