NOT DEADLlEsT OF DISEASES
other and More Common Complaints
Are Far Worse Than lnfan-
tile Paralysis.

The only reason we are all so ex-
cited about infantile paralysis is that
it is an uncommon disease and it's cpl
denies are comparatively new to us,
says the New York Medical Journal.
Diphtheria, measles and scarlet fever
are old diseases and always with us.
Yet no one offers large prizes for a
cure, nor do local health authorities
take the trouble to organize campaigns
to stamp them out.
Diphtheria kills approximately 25,-
600 in the United States every year.
Six times as many die of scarlet fever
as of infantile paralysis. The latter
disease is especially dreaded because
of the crippling that SO often follows
1t, 'but the gripping from scarlet fe-
yer alone, the impaired hearing, dam
aged kidneys and heart defects, if not
so evident, is more serious than an alb
breviated and weakened limb, and the
army Of scarlet-fever cripples is larger
than we realize. The same is true Of
measles, diphtheria, whooping cough,
typhoid and malaria"

Work of Mound Builders.

According to Prof. G. Eliot Smith the
ruins Of the mound builders which
stretch northeastward from Mexico to
Ohio and beyond, were made by the
same ancient race which received it's
culture from Egypt, and this is espe-
cially interesting to people of Kansas
City, for in that city are several of
those mounds. There is one near
Washington park and another at the
high point where Gladstone boulevard
after traversing the bluffs east of Van
Brunt boulevard turns sharply south
ward. 1t is thought the builders Of
that particular mound were sun wor-
shippers and this point was selected be-
cause it would give an unobstructed
view of the sun rising from the ho-
rizon twenty miles or more eastward.

officials of the Trenton street de,
partment today discovered that they
had among their employees a full
blooded Indian chief, Justin Wheel
Head, who is the owner Of large res
ervation and copper mine in Arizona.
His case is made especially extraor-
binary by reason of the fact that Head.
although wealthy, is satisfied with his
position as a street cleaner.
Head was born in Near, Cal. He
came east when a child to attend the
Indian Industrial school at Carlisle,
Pa, and upon completing his educa-

worked at copper smelling for a time.

KEEP MANAGERS ON THE HOP
Unusual and Frequently Amusing Re.
guests That Have Been Made
by Hotel Guests.

Copeland Townsend, owner Ss the
Hotel Majestic and former manager
of the Palmer house in Chicago, has
kept curious record of unusual re-
quests made by his guests. Here are
a few cases:
A woman in mourning who refused
TO ride on the elevators with anyone
else save the operator.
A man who wanted the same thing
for lunch every day in the year and
who wanted it on the table at two
O'Clock, whether he was there or not.
A woman who wanted ali parcels de-
livered under a wax seal placed there
by the hotel.
Southerner who always insisted on
having seven blankets on his bed. Six
would not suffice.
A man with family of two boys
and girl who insisted on his children
having the freedom CT the mems writ
ing room for an hour every afternoon.
He did not have his request granted.
A woman who demanded to taste
every article of food before it was fed
TO her poodle dog.
A Spaniard who was afflicted with
insomnia and always wanted a regu-
lar bed and one made on the floor
so he could alternate between the
two.
A stage star who had a bellboy bring
her bouquet of flowers each evening
at dinner which she had purchased
herself and which bore the name of q
fictitious male admirer.-New York

of the value of bull is the character
of his offspring, and this is the safest
and surest guide. Many aged bulls
with good records and splendid off
spring are sold at bargain prices to
avoid inbreeding, and efford an excel
lent opportunity to the man who
wishes a good bull at moderate cost.
Strength and virility must go with
good ancestry to make good sire.
The grade sire should have no place
in the dairy herd.
Select Cows on Their Records.
Cows may be selected according to
type and apparently by men who are
good judges, but the only safe and sure
basis for selection Ia the annual milk
record.
The keeping OF milk records in all
parts of the country end in all classes
and kinds of herds has shown:
1. That some herds make large an
nual profits while others make none.
2. That in the best herds there are
usually some Improbable cows, and
very many such in the poorer herds.
3. That without records the owners
of the herds could not tell with any de-
gree Of accuracy which cows were pay
ing profitably and which were not.
4. That many datrymen would have
made greater yearly profit had they
sent their herd to the butcher at the
beginning of the year, thus saving half
their feed and labor expenses and get
ting all the profit from their best cows.
A fact worth noting is that several
worlds record cows of different breeds,
now worth thousands of dollars each,
