insurance Aeainst slclkness

A bill has been introduced in the
New York Legislature this year for
insurance against sickness. Such in
sarance as exists in Germany and
Great Britain will be compulsory for
all men and women gainfhlly employ
ed, whose earnings are less than one
thousand two hundred dollars per an
mum. Two-fifths of the cost of this
insurance is to be borne by he work
ers. two-fifths by their employers,
and one-fifth by the State. The bin
provides that in case of sickness tho
beneficiary or his dependents shall
receive one-half or two-thirds of his
regular wages, as well as specified
medical. pharmaceutical and hosp
tay services and benefits. The re-
suits of the workings of such a law
in the United States are of extraor-
dinary Importance.

STATE HEALTH NOTES
BY John w. Duke. Commissioner.
of State Board of Health

BY John w. Duke. Commissioner
of State Board Of Health
The energy and ability that is be-
ing devoted to the eradication of Ill
sease producing conditions in many
of the Southern States by public
health authorities, is one of the most
notable phases of the movement for
conservation of public health to be
found anywhere in the United States.
In many of these Southern States,
the epople are actually doing what
people in other and Weather States
are merely talking about. The Flor
ida state Board of Health, for exam
pie, is undertaking to inform the pub
lie more thoroughly and accurately
concerning the cancer problem, and
to tha tend will run a special train
to different parts of the State, exhib-
iting statistical charts and pamphlets
bearing on the subject of cancer, con-
tanning the best that Is definitely
known about this disease, taken from
the compilations of the American So
ciety for the Control of Cancer.

Cooler and Better Air in
Va Public Places

"Overheating is probably the great
predlsposing factor of the so-called
grippe-which is just another name
for the acute respiratory affections" 7"
says the New York Medical Journal,
which urges that some legal restric-
ton ought to be placed upon Chs
heating of public gathering places,
setting, for instance, 72 degrees Fa-
renheit, as the highest possible limit
for heating. If this were done, and
the law rigidly enforced, the foul air
SO noticeab lein many of these places
would cease to be menace to health
If our modern conception of Vita
ted air is correct" That outdoor sir
is more healthful than indoor air is
commonly asserted. One reason that
is strongly advocated in support of
this statement is that outdoor air is
cooler and not so dry as indoor air.

The gross casualties of the war to
January, 1916, reached the enormous
total of 14,90O,00O. These figures
have ben computed from official
statements of the losses by Great

mated for the Teutonic allies. 'Dp

at one in every five of the gross cas-
ualties and prisoners at one in every
seven. Upon this basis it is found
that the total number killed is about
100000; prisoners 2,140, 900, while
9,S30,00O have been wounded. The
estimate of the gross casualties suf-
fered by each nation follows:
Russia, 4.O0O,OOO; Germany A.
100000; Austro-Hungary. $500, 600;
France 100000; Great Britain
100000; Belgium, Serbia, Bulgaria,
and Turkey, 100000. Grand total,

ROME. N. ". March Csc. f. Day.
idson, Of Beaverton, on Oneida lake,
has more than 100000 frogs con-
fined in small steel cages in his
marshes and along the shadows Of
Oneida lake. at some seasons of the
year his frog farm has several mil
lion members, but Just now the sup
ply on hand is running low. David
son does business of $4,000 year
supplying frog legs to large city hotels
and restaurants, and live frogs to coll
leges and universities for dissection
and study.
Does Big Business.
lie has been in the business TWEEN
ty-six years. AS the frogs sell at fifty
cents pound, alive or dressed. q $40,-
600 year business means that 10000
pounds are sold. 1t takes about forty
pairs Of legs to make q pound, SO at
that rate more than 100000 dressed
frogs a year are sold.
Davidson raises a large number OF
his frogs. but buys thousands from
professional frog catchers in his town
win make most Of their living from
that business and from fishing.
In summer the frogs leave the
water and go to the highlands. When
the dry season comes on they make
for the water again. That Is the time
they are caught in great numbers.
Fences Of cheesecloth are built about
a foot away from the edge of the
water. The cloth is cut into strips a
foot wide and the strips are set I'D on
low posts. very close to the ground.
and extending for hundreds OF feet
along the shore. At intervals, hoels
a foot wide and two feet deep are dug
on the side Of the fence away from the
water. When the frogs. at that time a
little loggy and lacking their usual
pep" come down to the shore they
find the fence Instructions and lazily
making their way along to find an
openeing to get to the water, they
fall into the holes. where they have
to remain for their captor's attention.
Frogs Are Dormant.
Mr.. Davidson keeps his frogs In long
steel cages, partly submerged in the
mud and water, along the shadows
OF the lake, At this season the frogs
are dormant, or partly so. They freeze
up solid with the ice at times. but
when they thaw out are jlst as lively
as ever, unless their intestines were
frozen: in that case they die, but. they
seldom freeze through.
Live frogs shipped in winter are
placed in wooden boxes lined with
heavy paper. The frogs are put in
excelsior aud they travel that way IN
good shape, being able to live con-
tentedly in the excelsior for months.
In summer they are shipped In mois-
tened grass.
Frogs legs are shipped in specially
made sanitary cans two feet high and
twelve inches in diameters the legs
being packed in fee for shipment. Dav-
idson says he can dress 700 pairs Of
frogs legs an hour.
