SHOULD
QUICKLY BE REPORTED
Can Be Cured in its lncipiency,
Saws the Prominent Authorities.

All authorities agree that tubercu-
losis can be cured in the majority o.
cases if diagnosed in its inclp1ency
and the Individual who has this
disease properly instructed II
the method of taking care OF
himself. There is no specific
for the disease, although synp-
toms sometimes require medicine
Routine administration of medicine Is
useless. The best means we have OF
combating this disease is by cam
piaign of education. BY this campaign
we prevent the self administration OF
nostrums containing usually either
alcohol or opium. Alcohol is not only
contraindicated, but is about the worst
drug that person suffering from tu-
berculosis can take. Opium by dull
ing the sensibilities of the patent IS 2
most insidious and dangerous drug
il. this disease. 1t deceives the poor
sufferer into a belief that his disease
is being arrested, and for this reaso
millions of dollars have been made Dy
unscrupulous Quacks and sellers OF
patent medicines. The only cure for
the disease is rest in bed when there
i; temperature, sleep in the open air.
taking an excess of nourishing food
such as milk, eggs, meat, etc. Exer-
else prescribed by competent physl-
clan, and not too much exercise
Careful attention to personal hygiene
and the cure of intercurrent diseases
which may accompany the tuoerculo-
sis, such as malaria.
The State Board OF Heal lth wishes
to disseminate the above knowledge
It wishes to be in touch, as far as
possible, with every tubercular patient
in the State; to send them instructions
so that they may know how to take
care of themselves and how they may
prevent those with whom they come in
contact from catching the disease. 1t
also wishes to advise them that
course of treatment at properly
conducted sanatorium, which the State
provides, will give them ~ a practlc-
al manner a method for the cure or
this disease in themselves, and how
to instruct others who are afflicted.
We have an ideal sanitorium, where
the best of food and the best Of medl-
cal attention is furnished for noml-
nal cost, and we want the public es-
pecially those who have tuberlos1s to
know it, but we have no method of
reaching or even of knowing who are
suffering with this disease unless the
attending physician reports same.

Mr.. Eastman plans to build 26X-
% bungalow near the road this sum-
mer, following completion of the
farm buildings. A machine house is
already up and with the progress
made Thursday when the barn was
for the large part, finished, the bal
ance should not take long.
A bounteous lunch, prepared by
Mrs. Eastman assisted by several 9TH
er ladies, was by no means the least
part of the day.

ATTENDING A BARN RAISING.
L. ID. Eastman ErectS a Strictly Up
tO-Date Structure On His Farm.

| Last Thursday was the day set for
"barn raising" on the L. d. East
man farm in Liberty township, al
though the Herald man did not hear
about the affair until late in the af-
ternoon. AS soon as we did hear we
sailed forth under the protection and
tutelage of Martin Mcdonald, who, as
everybody knows, is a postmaster
when it comes to raising barns.
We found upon arriving that thirty
six men, mostly neighbors, had gath
cred early in the a. m. and did prodlg-
ious labors upon the barn on Mr.. East
mans farm. We could see that by the
amount of work already done which
in fact was so much that we felt our
feeble effort and lack of knowledge
would not be of great assistance.
The barn itself is 36x64 feet in area
and contains many interesting fea-
lures. The lumber is mostly native
oak sawed out right on the place and
it certainly looks substantial.
There is nine foot basement with
concrete wall, and the cattle and
horses will be placed here. There
will be room for 20 COWS and six
horses and that the CRITTERS" will be
well taken care of is evidenced by the
plans for a cork floor in the stalls and
cement through the center.
Upstairs will be two floors with a
capacity of 60 tons of hay and a guam
tity of grain. The barn stands "A
feet above terra firma, with concrete
walls and a chip" roof. Twenty-one
windows of 2Sx40 inches size, will
furnish all the light necessary.
The barn equipment will consist of
the James Way outfit and in addition
to this Mr.. Eastman plans for silo
adjacent on the north constructed OF
timber after his own model, IA feet
in diameter and % feet high. A milk
house will be built in the near future
equipped with a 1,000-lb separator OF
the "Domo" type and gasoline en-
CINE for drive. Later it is hoped that
electric current will do the work for
the farmers in this neighborhood are
up-to-date and nothing but the best
will satisfy them. 1t will be neces-

While backing off the lawn where the

of the Page for the return and over
five hours consumed in getting back,

United States numbered 2,445,664 last
year. and $1s,245,713 was paid by their
owners as registration and license fees.
The Office of public roads of the De-
partment of Agriculture announced to-
day that 30 per cent of the fees, or
s1s.213,3s7, was spent for building and
maintenance Of county and state roads.
