indictment against society when

History has been in the making
the past week.
Russia had successful revoiu-
ton throwing off the Romanoff
yoke that has ruled them for 450
years. They will probably adopt
a constitution and have a repub-
lican form Of government.
The Germans have retreated on
a 100 mile front in France and
Belgium. giving about 80 towns
and villages to the British and
French.
The French ministry has fallen
and a new cabinet is to be formed.
The Adamson Eight Hour law
has been declared constitutional.
The great railroad strike has been
averted.
Last and perhaps most import
ant OF all to us is the fact that
we are getting nearer and nearer
to open warfare with Germany.

8tagnant water and Nia8ms
A connection between stagn-
ant water and fevcrs is tradition
al. Regulated to it is mistrust
of the upturned soil and of the
night air in malshy regions. In
general. residence in low, damp,
or marshy regions or in the neigh
horhood of swamps has been
thought unhealthful because Of
the supposed poisonous "miasms'
arising therefrom. And, certain
ly, fevers have frequently attack
ed persons under such condi-
tiOnS.
Sanitary science now explains
the underlying phenomena of such
experience. The fcvers in ques-
tion are usually either malarial
or typhoid. The first is trans
mi'tcd thru the bite of the ano-
pheles mosquito .and only thus;
and such mosquitoes breed in
stagnant water. The same may
be said of yellow fever. transmit

the presence among laborers. (i.

Italy and elscwhere) of malarial
individuals who act as source Of
infection o." th" mosquitoes is not
unlikely. The suspicion of night
air is explained hy the fact tha:
anopheles (ma!ariaD mosquito
flies only by night. Witness the
classic experiments of Sanbon,
Low and Terri, who avoided con-
tracing malaria in the malarial
Roman Campaign by the simple
pr"cution of keeping within their
well-sclpcned hut from before
! sunset until after sunrise. Thus
science explains popular susoi-
! ci"n by showing exactly what the
danger to health is.
/ In somewhat similar manner an
indirect connection may be traced
between the upturnng of soil and

Consider that excavation work

windbreak should be at least 100
feet but not over 800 feet away
from any Of the buildings, on ac-
count of snow drifts. On an av-
erage farm this would require 400
or 500 feet of trees on each side
Of the farmstead. The wind
break should be at least so feet
wide, better 100 feet wide if that
is possible. The ground should
be olowed at least year before
the trees are to be planted.
To secure the most satisfact-
ory results, young Seeding tree,
not over two or three years old
should be planted. These should
be cut to the ground at planting
time, so as to induce the growth
Of several strong shoots. Larger
trees are more expensive, more
difficult to plant and give less sat
isfactory results than these small
Ter trees. The trees should b:.
planted close together, I feet a
part. in rows 8 feet or even only
Z feet apart. Close planting is
perferred, because the trees will
then shade the ground more quick
ly and cultivation need he carried
on only for a few years. Then.
too, the shelter belt is denser and
more effective than when the
trees are far apart. The low
growing and dense trees should
be planted along the outside and
the taller one in the middle so as
to deflect the wind upward.

SHELTER PITS FOR FARM
HOME GROUNDS

Once the farmer has decided
that he wants a shelter belt of
trees number of questions arise
concerning what trees to use and
where and how to plant them.
The shelter belt should give
wind protection from the north
and west and whenever possible
also from the south. It should
be planned so as to surround the
house and lawn. the vegetable and
fruit gardens, barns. sheds, poul-
try yards and livestock pens. The

PIE PLANT

Pie plant or rhubard is one of
the most easily raised plants that
produces material for pies and
sauce. 1t is also ready to be US
ed as soon as growth starts in
the spring, long before any fruits
are ready.
The best way to make a start
with rhubard is to divide an old
root into several pieces. Plant
these 3 feet apart i'm a row. Spade
we'll rottcd manure into the soil
around the plants. Keep them
clean from weeds and grass. Dc
not make heavy cuttings till the
plants are years old. Remove
the seed stalks as they appear.

law providing for the erection OF
inehliate asylums. What an in
conceivable riddle for Congress to
give to any one who pay twenty
five dollars the legal right to sell
whisky. and for the same Con-
gress to establish children's vel
fare bureau in an endeavor to put
health into the bodies of the
children of drunkardS.
The men who passed the laws
Of the states and cities under
which whisky is sold knew that its
use would make some men and
their progency insane-so they
passed other laws taxing the peo-
pie to build insane asylums; they
knew that the use of whisky
bought at the saloons they had
'legalized would make ,aupers nf
same men. some Won cn and many
children-so they passed other
i'.Ms taxiI.; the people TO build
ro' r houses where III, paupers
t'Lh! GO. They knrw that many
of the men who would drink the
whisky they had provided for
them would get drunk-so these
same legislators taxed the peo-
pie to build jails in which to in
carcerate the victims while they
were drunk. They knew also
that eighty-five per cent of all
crime is committed by men while
under the influence of liquor-so
they again taxed the people to en-
large the penitentiaries so they
would hold the men whom whisky
had made criminals. These same
legislators who arranged for the
establishments of saloons. where
men acquire the appetite for viii
sky. also taxed the people for
money to build inebriate asylums
where the appetite could be uc-
stroyed! SO the state was en-
gaged, first in the business of
making drunkards and second in
the business Of reforming them.
What would you think of an indi-
vidual who would establish a SAL
oon on one side of the street
where he made drunkards, and a
Kelley cure on the other side of
the street, where he reformed
them-one place where he created
the appetite for liquor, and an
other place where he took away
the appetite! That's exactly
what society is doing.
How completely socicty's plan
works out. Society knew when il
established the saloon that crime
would increase-that men would
get drunk and kill. Society knew
this because drunk men have al
ways killed. knowing this. So
.ciety arranges just what shall be
done when the killing occurs.
Like the spider who waits for les
victims in the web he has pre-
pared. society waits. The drunken
murderer is arrested. The same
society that provides the whisky
that crazed him provides judge
and a prosecuting attorney and 4
jury to try him. and penitentiary
in which to keep him the rest Of
his life after he is convicted. What
! a beneficent thing society is! 1t
assists men to their downfall. and
! then prosecutes them because
they fall.

Imaginary Puritication Of Run
ming Water
AS for water supplies, stagnant
water is on the whole less likely
to convey infection than flowing.
The saying running water puri-
ties itself has been disastrous
one i'm the history Of sanitation.
Some popular tradition even as
serts that water is purified after
running seven miles. We know
that while indeed. thru the aera-
tion of splashing. chcmica, puri-
lication may be favored in a run
ming stream and the water made a
gr"eable to sight and smell. the
same rule does not apply to bact-
erial publication. A sparkling
water may still contain the germs
of typhoid fever or other intest-
inal disease: mere appearances
are no criterion. The modern
science of water bacteriology
shows that publication from parh
neenic germs is favored in stand
ing rather than in running water.
The principal purifying factors
are .sedimcntation Cor settleing
out of suspended matters) and
time. Hence the value of storage
of water supplies. In rapidly
running waters these factors have
NO place. hence the greater dang
er of conveyance of infection.
Further examples of the popu-
lar misconceptions too frequ :ntly
met with, which the health offic-
ers has to combat, might be given
but enough has been said to clear
the ground for consideration OF
the duties of sanitary authorities
as pointed out by modern SAINT
airy science.
