HOW TO AVOID TUBERCULOSIS
Human Food Than Any Other
Trouble Except Cholera.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
With the exception of hog cholera,
for human food than any other disease
In 1916 under federal inspection, which
represents only 60 per cent of hogs
slaughtered in the United States, there
were found infected with tuberculosis
594, 108 hogs, which were condemned
as were raised in the entire state of
New York for that year. Aside from
the monetary loss sustained from tu-
berculosis, the fact that it is transmits
sible to the human makes 1t dOubly
important that strict measures for its
eradication be inaugurated.
Hogs contract tuberculosis chiefly
from dairy COWS, which are also very
subject to tuberculosis. The disease
in a COW infects her milk system, her
lungs, and her throat with tubercle
bacilli-the germs which cause tuber-
culosis in men and animals. Some of
these germs escape from the cow in
her milk or in her droppings, or she
may cough them out on feed or bed
ding. Hogs get the disease from the
raw milk or droppings, or feed infected
by a tuberculous COW. Pasteurized or
cooked milk will not pass the disease
from infected cows to other animals.
Therefore, to protect hogs from tu-
berculosis and to make sure that the
feed will be turned into meat instead
Of into fertilizer
1. See that all milk, especially all
skim milk from the creamery is pas
teurized or cooked before it is fed to
the hogs.
2. Keep the hogs from following
dairy cattle, unless the cattle are tu-
berculin tested. Keep them out of cow
lots and barns, and keep dairy drain
age out Of hog lots. Hogs can follow
steers without much danger.
g. Give healthy hogs a chance to
keep healthy. Give them clean, we'll
drained lots and plenty of fresh air,
sunlight, and clean water. Shelter
them in well-lighted and ventilated,
sanitary hog houses. Keep the houses
clean and use plenty of whitewash
and disinfectants.
If there was tuberculosis in your
swine last year, it is safest to get rid
of the herd, especially the breeding
animals, and raise clean hogs from
fresh stock.

LOCAL FUEL DEALERS
NOW MAKING SURVEY
Each Purchaser Must Sign Written
Statement as to Probable Re-
quirements

Local coal dealers are now making
survey of the coal needs of this
community for the coming year for
the government. Each purchaser
will have to sign a written state
ment as to his probable requirements
and also tell the kind of a house or
building he occupies, the number of
rooms heated, kind of heating equip
ment used, and so forth. False
statements are punishable with a.
fine of $4,000 or Imprisonment for
two years.
AS warning to the people of Stew
ems county, G. w. Geenty, chairman
of the Stevens County Fuel Admins
tration, is giving out the following
notice to coal users.
every fuel consumer in Stevens
county must see his fuel dealer at
once and sign an application blank
for his fuel needs for the coming
year. The allotment of coal for Stew
ems county will be based upon those
reports and If you want coal this
coming year register your wants i'm
mediate1y. I also urge everyone to
fill up their bins with coal as soon
as their dealer can supply them. No
one will be permitted to receive more
coal than they will need for the COM
ing year. But everyone is urged to
take their coal as fast as the rail-
road can transport it so that the
mines can be kept running full time
throughout the season."

Variety in Potato Diet

Potatoes are usually baked, boiled,
or steamed. Less often they are fried
or escalloped. Great variety may be
given to this vegetable by the use of
different favoring materials. The
proportions in the suggestions given
are for six medium-sized potatoes.
Well mashed potatoes may be served
plain, or
Mixed with tablespoons of grated
cheese.
Mixed with tablespoons cooked
bacon, cut fine.

Shoemaker Finds E;oat Hundred Dol.
lars and Gems in Wor2an's Shoe
Gels Small Reward

Business was good with Engle the
shoemaker. Many persons had brought
many shoes to his shop to be repaired,
and his cash drawer was full of strange
silver, says the Arizona Republican.
Came boy early one morning bear
ing pair of woman's shoes to be half
soled. The boy departed.
Shortly afterward Engle picked up
the WOmans shoes. From the toe of
one shoe fell purse, fat and tightly
closed. Before the shoemaker had re-
covered from his establishment another
purse fell from the toe Of the other
shoe. Two purses, both fat.
Engle opened the first fat purse.
There was $500 in bills.
Then Engle turned to the second
purse. From that one came flashing
diamonds, necklaces, rings and ear
drops. More than $500 worth.
The shoemaker gathered up the bills
and the diamonds and put them safely
away and turned to his work. Count
ing the bills or admiring the diamonds
wouldn't make money for Engle.
Then frantic woman burst into the
shoemakers shop. No need for Engle
to inquire what she wanted or why
she was frantic. The shoemaker knew.
The shoes belonged to her and so did
the bills and diamonds and other
gems. She had taken her safety de-
posit vault to the shoe shop.
Almost in Mysteries the woman re-
covered her money and jewelry, more
than $500 in all. She clasped the two
purses to her and Immediately great
relief spread over her. Placing so cents
in the hands of Engle the shoemaker
the woman left the shop. Engle turned
to his shoe repairing.

Big AIR DRAGONS
Craft of the Future Will Be
Armored Dreadnaughts.
Winged Fighters Promise to Be De-
veloped Much the Same as That of
Naval Construction.

The fighting a1rplanes Of the future
will grow larger and larger. They will
soon become the dreadnaught of the
air. The development, writes a Wash
ington correspondent, will be much the
same as that Of naval construction.
This is the prediction Of a govern
ment expert. It is based on the brief
report from London telling of the con-
struction by Germany Of metal-inclosed
battleplanes, which Germany is build
ing to meet Americans in the air.
"From the outset have been con-
vinced that the United States should
devote much Of its genius and con-
structive ability to the development Of
a powerful fighting airplane," he said.
Germany may be building a sort Of
aerial armor-clad, but the kaiser will
have no monopoly in this respect.
"My judgment is that development
of an effective fighting force in the air
will follow much the same line as naval
construction. In modern navies, in fact,
in all navies of history, the heavy ship
of the line, which could take and give
Of the fleet. This will be true Of the
airplane f1otilla of the future.
Gall Of the allied nations now are
building much heavier battleplanes.
This tendency will increase. At all
times there must be light and excep-
tionally fast scout machines, just as
we must have scout cruisers also.
Large and speedy battle cruisers also
may be development of the immedi-
ate future, but the slower and more
stable machine with a real punch, the
airplane that can give and receive q
maximum of punishment and still re-
main aloft must be the backbone Of
the aerial fighting forces of the fu-
ture."
The most powerful airplanes which
have been seen in this country are the
Caproni bfplanes and triplanes at the
Langley flying field, Newport News,
Va. The big Handley Paige battle
planes turned out by Great Britain also
have great carrying power and are
capable Of large measure Of destruc-
tive work. It Is predicted that these
powerful flying machines will soon give
place to planes Of far greater capacity
and capable of withstanding O verit-
able broadside In sky battle.

GARDENING WILL BE
p. ORGANIZED INDUSTRY
Every Vacant Lot Expected to Be
Used for Garden Purposes This
Year

Gardening is to be made a major
undertaking in Minnesota this year.
Last year village, town and city
jewellers made beginning. But this
year every vacant lot is expected to
be put to service and made to do it's
patriotic duty. Gardening is to be
made an organized industry instead
of series of sporadic individual ex-
periments.
The Commission of Public Safety
is urging community action in war
gardening throughout the state. All
communities have been asked to get
busy early, both to increase the num-
Der of gardens, and to limit planting
to the vegetables which will be most
available to relieve the food strin-
gency. The whole garden program
is summed up in two phrases: Grow
all you can; and grow only such vege-
tables as are most needed and which
will keep. The following fundamen-
tails in successful gardening are en-
phasized:
Il. Formulate definite program
Of production for your community,
prepared by practical and expert
enced local gardeners including only
those vegetables that can be pro-
duced by the greatest possible num-
Der. Seeds are scarce, therefore a
war garden this year should be limf-
ted to a few vegetables that can be
easily and proftably produced.
Secure the services of a compe-
tent person to supervise the garden
movements in your community. II
possible secure the voluntary services
of good amateur gardener in every
block to give aid and advice to his
neighbors.
"3. List all available lots and va
cant land, and as soon as possible.
list all who want gardens.
"a. Plan for cooperative p1aw-
Ing. 1t is not wise, however, to plow
UP any land until it's adaptability has
been passed upon by someone who
knows.
IS. Arrange local meetings and
have practical and experienced gar
oeners lecture on the preparation,
care and cultivation Of gardens.
The county agent and agricultural
teachers Of the high schools should
be very active in this matter and
each community can look to them to
be OF splendid service in organizing
the gardening activities Of their COM
munities.

WYE WERE appallingly unprcparcd for war
w when we entered the war. aS everybody
knows. But few Americans know how thor
oughly we were prepared when the war stopped.
When Germany asked for an armisticc. the
American navy had just finished a mine planting
program OF tremendous magnitude. sowing AN area
of hundreds of thousands of square miles. almost
continuously from Scandinavia to Spain, with mines
placed so thickly that no G.boat could get through
except by lucky chance.
Hundreds of our submarine chascrS were Just
going into commission.
On the very day the arnisticc was signed. an
American built pipe line built to pipe petroleum
across Scotland, was formally opened. II was laid 10
save tank ships the long voyage around the British
Isles. II would have meant, if the need had com
tinued. u victory of allied oil over German coal as
n war fuel.
At that time the American army had Just begun
10 get lis big guns into action. II had just begun
tn realize ON it's air program and would soon have
darkcned the air over Germany with squads OF
bombing planes.
BY spring we would have had machine guns
in action by the hundred thousand. BY next sum-
mcr our 2,O00,000 fighting men would have been
l,000,000.
Our bridge for the Atlantic" had become a
reality. with a ship sailing for France every few
minutes.
This list of big resources, made ready hut hard
ly brought into actual use, might he continued
almost indefinitely.
The Germans knew when they were licked in
battle. and they knew still better when they were
licked by the mcnacng statistics of American prep
aration. That Is why the war stopped when il did.
That is usually the way. When q nation or a
man, by n mighty effort, makes ready to overcome
Il tremendous obstacle, the obstacle blows up.
