THE PRESIDENTS FLAG.
Il Now Indicates When Mr.. Wilson IL
at the White House,

IL Now Indicates When Mr.. Wilson 10
at the White House.
For the last quarter of a century
at least the American flag has been
raised above the White House when
the president was there. and If the
president went out for three or four
hours the flag was pulled down, so that
it would look as though the White
House was only protected by the flag
when the president was in residence.
The WOman's Relief Corps and the
Grand Army of the Republic have pro-
tested against this for many years, but
sion. President Wilson, however, de-
cided that the flag of the United States
should fly over the White House from
sunrise to sunset every day in the year
1t seems to be necessary, however, that
there be some emblem to Indicate that
the president is in the city.
President Wilson solved this problem
by deciding that the presidents flag
should be raised over the White House
whenever he was in residence and
taken down whenever he was outside
Of the White House grounds.
The flag of the president of the Unit
ed States is the presidents naval flag,
but it is little known to the public AS
it flies above the White House, it rep
resents the great seal Of the United
States-namely, an eagle displayed in
proper colors, with the olive branch
in one talon, the arrows in the other,
and above it's head a glory in which
appear thirteen stars. This is display
ed on a ground Of red, the flag itself
being blue The seal is inclOsed in one
large five pointed white star, encircled
by row of forty-eight stars represent
ing the states in the Union 1t floats
over the porte-cOchere of the White
House, and is in straight line with
the staff of the United States flag,
which flies from the peak of the White
House Observation-Disclosures National

The lectures given by Miss Peck

together with information as to some
Of our leading industries, such as Pc

Exercise for Paralysis.

In the Journal of the American Medi-
cal association Of December 16, 1916,
DR.. Walter B. Swift offers number Of
control exercises for the treatment Of
shaking paralysis. Report Is made that
he succeeded in bringing about i'm
prOvement In marked cases, treated
with slow-mOving exercises taken for
Is minutes three times day. Doctor
Swift reports the case Of woman to
whom he gave an exercise in vowels
to be sounded In prolonged, steady
fashion, to improve the voice tremor.
This exercise, 1t Is reported, not only
lessened the voice tremOr, but the tre-
NOR in the hands of the patient and
also her general health. The bodily ex-
ercises are simple. The patient is to
stand with all clothing constructions
removed. All motions should be exc
cuted slowly. ALI sudden movements
should be omitted. The patient should
practice from Is to 80 minutes three
times a day. OF course 1t Is necessary
to have a physician indicate the proper
exercises to fit each individual case.
The important feature, however, seems
to be, no matter what the form Of ex-
ercise may be, slOwness.

Traehea or Wlndplpe.
batting any disease Is to adopt and
persist In some reliable means Of pre-
vention. There Is cause for all all
ments. Unless you remove the cause
you cannot cure the disease. II the
cause Is removable, a serious outbreak
Of the disease can be prevented by
proper hygienic and sanitary measures
which make the cause much less liable
to appear, or, If the measures adopted
are sufficiently thorough, the cause
may be prevented from putting In an
appearance. Gapes Is caused by the
small red worms and their progeny.
Satisfactory Treatment
The most satisfactory treatment Is
prevention of cOntagion, combined with
extraction Of the worms from the in
fected chicks. All sick birds should
be removed to quarters apart from the
well ones. All cOops and runs where
infected birds have been should be
thoroughly dislnfected. The coOps
should have thorough application Of
hot whitewash. The ground Of runs
should be well lined with air-Slacked
lime, spaded up, and should be sprin-
kled with one Of the following solu-
tons: A two per cent solution Of sui
phuric acid In water or two ounces Of
copperas (sulphate Of iron) dissolved
In @ bucket of water; or a solution of
permanganate of potassium In water,
half an ounce Of the crystals In bar
rel of water; or a strong solution Of
creolin, two tablespoonfuls in each gal
Ion Of water.
The ground should be well sprlnkled
with one of the above solutions after
infected chicks have been removed.
Then plow or spade and sprinkle again.
Repeat this disinfection whenever in
fected chicks have been running on
the ground Scald all drinking ves-
sells used by sick birds and be sure
that the water used Is boiling. II
there are many earthworms and slugs
in the ground which has been occu-
pied by chicks with gapes get rid Of
the worms with one Of the patented
worm exterminators sold by nearly
all seedsmen. Always burn all chicks
which die Of the gapes, and whenever
you find gapewOrms, or extract them
from sick chicks, be sure to burn the
worms. Disinfect all droppings.
Earthworms do not cause gapes, but
may be contaminated with the eggs or
embryonic gapeworms and so become
a source Of infection in ground where
the disease has existed.
A small piece Of copperas placed
In the drinking water Is said to pre-
vent contagion. Tincture of asafetida,
a teaspoOnful In quart of water. Is
used for the same purpose, and is said
to have curative action. Three
drachms Of salicylate Of soda In a
quart of drinking water Is also
recommended as a preventive.

Brazil LOSING Rubber Trade.

One of the most striking economic
changes In recent years has been the
loss by Brazil of Its dominant position
In the rubber trade. Whereas, a few
years back. the world looked to South
America for most Of its crude rubber,
1t is now getting the larger share from
the far East. The Brazilian product Is
obtained from trees that grow wild,
and little has been done toward culti-
walton of the trees. In Sumatra, Cey-
Ion. Burma, and other countries mil
lions of trees have been set out and
are now coming into bearing. The do
nestle product is said to be slightly SUI
perior to that obtained from Brazil,
and the trees improve with age. The
financial loss to Brazil through its de-
creasing exports has become a serious
matter.-New York Times.

TREAT CALVES TWICE YEARLY
Don't Wait Until Animals Commence
to Die Of Blackleo Before Ad-

(By G. H. GLOVER, Colorado Agricul-

Calves should be vaccinated for
blackleg twice year, making 1t
regular chOre, and do not wait until
they begin to die before getting ready.
The period Of ordinary susceptibility
ranges from three months to two and
one-half years. Most Of the vaccine
on the market Is reliable and the un-
satisfactory results are usually due
to carelessness on the part of the
farmer in not following directions in
using it.
The agricultural college distributes
the government blackleg vaccine free
to farmers of Colorado. Orders for
vaccine will not be filed promptly,
however, unless the applicant states
that he has a vaccinating outfit, which

Wants Education to Be Practical

was opposed to any education that
harked back to cultural past" or
allowed its "weather vane to be blown
by the breeZcs from antiquity" "This
old cultural stuff is not going to help
any mothers son make living" he
said. II am not in sympathy with the
views of college professors intrenched
in the marble halls of colleges endowed
by some rich benefactor. Until re-
Gently they have paid too much at
tention to the white shirt front and
ignored the overalls and they found
their graduates starved to death. Cul-

TRAGEDY DUE TO T0OTHACHE
When He Signed Revocation Of
Edict of Nantes.

That the failure of king to take
proper care of the teeth, with the re-
Sulting tOOthache, was the cause of a
step that made torrents of blood
drench the soil of France, seems to
be an historical fact.
Louis NV. who on October II, 1885,
signed the revocation of the Edict of
Nantes, which action took from the
Huguenots their right to freedom Of
worship, and provoked the uprising of
the Camisards, who for nearly two
decades withstood the armies of the
king had teeth so unsound that before
middle age, all those in the upper jaw
had been lost or reduced to scraggy
stumps.
He naturally became victim to
severe dyspepsia, and during the me-
morable year of 1856 the royal dentist,
we learn, was sometimes with him for
whole day. Inflammation once re-
suited from the removal of a root be-
Meath which an nbScess had formed.
This was said to be during the very
time when he was apparently wavering
between his conscience and pressure
brought by the more radical Of his ad-
vsers as to compliance with the lat
ters demand that the HuguenOts be
suppressed.
The two Colberts, Seignelai and
Croissi, and even the young Dauphin,
urged delay, hut the king answered
them in such tone of irritation that
they We're silcnced, one of them saying
to the others: His majesty is tor
mented by toothache; we may not in
trude."
And so the edict of Nantes, which
had been granted by Henry of Navarro,
as Henry " of France, and had as
sured peace and calm throughout
France for more than twO-thirds of
century. was abrogated, religious strife
broke out again, and thousands of
HuguenOts We're driven from their ma
tive land.

HIGHER QUALITY OF BUTTER
Article Made by Farmer Should Top
the Market-creamery Has Lit
tie Control Of Cream.

There Is no reason in the world why
the farmer cannot make butter of high.
er quality than that made at the
creamery, according to N. K. Olson, in
structor in dairy husbandry in the
Kansas safe agricultural. college.
''The farmer can keep his cream In
excellent condition." says Mr.. Olson,
"while the creamery man has little
control over the cream he buys-hence
the farmers butter should top the
market.
''The first step in the making Of good
butter Is the production Of clean milk.
If milk contains no putrefactive and
gas-forming bacteria, butter can be
produced which will be free from odors
and which will not putrefy, If proper
precautions are taken with the cream
and with the butter after 1t is churned
and packed"
