Three Forms Of Anthrax.

Anthrax may occur in human beings
In three forms-external, intestinal or
pulmonary. The external form Is
caused by an abrasion of the skin com.
ing in contact with a hide or other OBJ.
ject infected with the disease. Intes.
final anthrax may be caused by the
eating Of food containing the bacilli.
and the pulmonary variety by breath.
ing infected air.
ThiE latter disease has long been
known as wool sorters' disease in
England, where great quantities of
sheep pelts are sorted and graded. The
disease has also long been we'll known
in the wool and hide trades in this
country. and especially on the sheep
ranges of the southwest.

HOUSING QUESTION IS VITAL
Practically No More Important Things
Can Be Given Attention by
City Planners.

It may be said that there is no plane
Of human existence in society which
the housing question does not touch.
There Is no form Of vice, crime, debil-
ity or shiftlessness which bad housing
does not tend to nurture. Keeping up
appearances Is often decried, and de-
serves much Of the reproach cast upon
it when 1t simply means u~nwarranted
extravaganza to maintain a position
which ones income does not justify,
but among the poor it is an ever
present aid to the maintenance of self
respect and is to be encouraged rather
than decried.
During his campaign for the presi'
dency the late Benjamin Harrison ut
tered an epigram which made him the
target of much criticism. He said: "A
cheap coat makes a cheap man." and
this statement, which was intended to
epitomize his views on the protective
tariff, was twisted into meaning that
people whose clothes we're cheap were
purchasable. This was not true, and
it would be no more true that bad
housing made bad citizens under all
circumstances. But, next to an made
Quate and unwholesome food supply,
poor housing does stand as the most
deleterious element in our civic life.
Sanitary research shows how import.
ant is the reaction Of adequate light
and ventilation On the health, stamina
and moral character of individuals.
Bad housing furnishes the fruitful nur-
series Of disease germs Of all kinds.
while at the same time creating con-
ditions which prevent the building W

harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for 1t preserves the kid

IS KING OF URBAN TREES
Elm Famous for Developing Fine Sym.
metry When Allowed to
Grow Alone.

1.-THE elm is essentially a self-sufi.
cient tree. It does not thrive In
groves" Walter Prichard Eaton writes
in the Century. 1T has a standard
type Of its own, and it either attains
this type or Is lost to view. The elm
which comes to maturity Is usually
the one which has lodged in a favored
spot where there is no competition,
such as a river meadow, where the
spring freshets have dropped the seed
on fertile soil and the roots can get
down to water.
I'VE all know the type, the noble
trunk of massive girth tapering very
gradually upward to the first spring
of branches, and then dissolving in
those branches as a water Jet might
dissolve in many upward and outcurv.
ing streams, till the whole is lost In
the spray Of the foliage. Like man.
other trees that grow alone, it devel-
ops an exquisite symmetry; but with
the elm this symmetry is not only one
of general contour, but of individual
limbs. Not only is the silhouette sym
metrical, but the skeleton also, branch
balancing branch. That is what gives
1t its remarkable fitness to comport
with architectural lines, with geome-
trically designed vistas. 1t has a
formal structure and a consequent dig
nifty which makes 1t the logical shade
for a village street, a chapel, a library,
the scholarly procession in cap and
gown. Add to that dignity it's arched
and airy lightness and its splendid
size, and you have the king of urban
trees"
