economics in the rural public schools.
DR.. H. J. Patterson, president of the
Maryland College of Agriculture, mem
bers of the State Board Cf E iucation

The purpose is TO give scholars in the

view of securing greater efficiency in
farm work and general improvement
of farm conditions The Agricultural
College will cooperate and supply IN
structOrs.
AS part of the plan of providing
competent instruction it is proposed to
employ special teacher in agricultural

Rural teachers will be expected to
take this special course so as to be pre-

in the public schools. A bonus OF sou
wear will be added to the salary OF
teachers SO equipped.

Among the recommendations in the
report, just made public, of the joint
commission appointed by the Govern
ors of Maryland. Delaware and Pen
nsylvania to make a thorough investi-
CATION of the milk situation and to sub
NIT suggestions regarding what regu-
lations should be adopted in the inter-
est of the public health are the follow
ing:
That all milk distributors and milk
distributing plants be hereafter regard
ed as quasi-public business and subject
to regulations the same as other public
business concerns.
That as a means of securing proper
standards in the production and distri-
button of milk. permits should be is
sued to producers, the fee for such per.
NIT not to exceed 81.
That all milk, skinned milk and
cream brought into the State and not
covered by such permit should be in
spected and sold under the provisions
of special permit.
That the basis of inspection should
be the Government score card system
or it's equivalent.
That places of producers should be in
spected as to sanitary conditions at
least three times a year.
That all animals producing milk for
sale should be examined by competent
veterinarians under the direction of the
live stock sanitary boards of the re-
spective states at least twice year.
That dairy and farm inspectors
should be appointed by the State Board
of Agriculture or Agricultural Com
mission from a list of men submitted
by the State College, such list to be
made up after competitive examina-
| tions.
That milk testers should be licensed
after proper examination.
Added to the report are number of
recommendation for improving dairy
farms, together with statements as to
the great food value of milk rs com
| pared with other products.
The joint commission was appointed
several months ago, about the time the
dairymen made an advance in the price
of milk, and disputes arose between
the larger dealers and the distribu ting
agencies.
The commission points to the increas-
ed cost in producing milk since 1910,
which prompted the raise in prices.
The report says the cost of labor has
increased 7O.2 per cent, while the cost
of grain and roughage increased 36.
per cent. and the cost of cows II per
cent. Figures complied as result OF
Investigations show that the cost OF
producing a quart of milk now ranged
between 2 and cents.
Concerning the food value of milk,
DR.. Rasmussen, of Pennsylvania State
College, said a quart of milk is equal
to eight eggs, and that with milk at
cents a quart and eggs at 45 cents
dozen, the consumer paid three ano
three-tenths times as much for the
same food value when buying eggs az
when buying milk. With round STEAK
ct 20 cents a pound. the consumer paic
two and three-tenth times as much.

Country Men Will Outlive Those Who
Live in Cities.

The excess of city over rural mortality
is 80 great that the attention of health
officials should be given to this subject,
without delay to determine its cause and
to what extent it is practicable to re-
duce city mortality to the minimum
actually existing in the country
To give an idea of the difference, the
tables show that out of 100000 rural
male births 57,117 survive to age 60,
while among the same number of city
births only AZ, 454 survive to this age.
In other words, ID, 663 more men out Of
the same number O. births 100, 600
would attain to age go in the country
than in the city on the basis of existing
mortality rates. Similar differences
exist in England and Germany. as
shown by recent life tables.
The tables show that the mortality
rates among women are lower through,
out the entire range of life than for
men. and that the expectation of life of
women is much greater While this is
true in general, there is a striking ex
ception in the case of rural women. 1t
annears from the tables that from ages
20 to 40 the mortality rate for rura
women is almost as great as that OF
the men, except from ages 25 to 81,
where it is actually greater. The same
thing occurs in the case of negro womer
from ages 10 to 20.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrk al Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru
