 The danger of typhoid epiiemics rom exposure in the mines has been practically eliminated by the intrOdHc- tiOn of underground sanitary latrines and the piping of the city drinking supply to all parts of the mine with sanitary fountains. These measures of protection together with the mod ern change houses, in which each man has a locker where his under ground clothes are thoroughly dried between shi.ts and where he is supplied with hot and cold water for shower baths, have helped materially to reduce the dangers Of epidemic pneumonia, which has always been prevalent in mining camps at high attitudes. Another fac tor which has aided materially in maintaining the comfort and health of the employees underground has been the introduction of artificial ventila- ton wherever natural ventilation mas been insufficient to maintain proper working conditions. AS with all these other measures there has been a ma terial advantage to the company in that the employees have been aOge 10 work more effectively under the Im- proved conditions.
 Several years ago the Copper queen Branch of the Phelps Dodge corpora tion introduced a physical examina- ton of all applicants for employment. The purpose of this examinations was the mutual protection of the company and the men. The provisions Of the state compensation law require the company to insure its employees against accident on duty and naturally the company reserves the right to set a physical standard for it's employees be- fore assuming responsibility. On the other hand the men are protected from the danger of exposure to tuberculosis, veneral and other contagious disease while at work In addition it enables the men to secure a thorough IT, edical examination without cost which may disclose some physical weakness of which he was unaware and lead to its or correction. In order to insure informity of standard the work of the examination is conducted by one physician who is distinct from the hospital department.

 The Warren company, which is jointly controlled by the Calumet & Arizona and the Phelps Dodge corpor- atiOn. at considerable expense, has constructed large park in the center Ot Warren Townsite. equipped with a band stand and concrete dancing floor, where during the summer months on Wednesday and Saturday evenings the band gives concerts and dances, charg- ing a small fee for the latter.
 With strong financial backing from the companies, the Cochise Building & Loan association is assisting the miners to obtain their own homes at a much lower cost than would be possible otherwise.
 Owing to the topography within the city limits of Bisbee, it is extremely difficult to find space for public im- provements. Some years ago a scheme was proposed by the city administra- ton to improve a small area by the construction of a park. The Copper Queen company contributed S2 800 to- wards the expenses Of the undertak- ing.

VERY LIeHT ACTIONS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE VESLE, Aug. IT, (By the AsSoci- ated Press )-There was some bomb ing and some observation work last night but nothing to compare to the previous night when enemy planes were over the greater part of the allied line, and far into the back areas. French and American airplanes con tlnue their observation work and are doing some bombing. Additional ar tillery has been brought up.

Accidents are classified as serious which incapacitate a man for more than fourteen shifts. The figures for the other companies in the district compare very favorably with these. The average for all metal mines throughout the United States for the years 1911. 1912, and 1913. which are the latest l have at hand, was 3.S6 fatal accidents per 1000 men employed. For the same period in Great Britain the rate was 139, in South Africa 3.90 and in Germany the latest figures available are for 1912, when the rate was 1S5 For the state of Arizona, in 1916. the rate was 3.1S.

 Prior to the admission of Arizona to statehood there was no law providing for compensation for industrial acci- dents. A compulsory compensation law was enacted in 1913, which necessi- tated revision Of the bylaws of the association. This act provides for any injury sustained on duty which inca pacitates for more than 14 days. By vote of the membership it was decided to continue the association but to cover only the first If days of any accident sustained on duty incapaci- tating for a longer period than If days thus supplementing the state law.

 Even before statehood was granted to Arizona the district had taken the lead in organized safety work and a great many provisions of the state mining laws were anticipated; such as gates on all cages, large isolated pow der magazines on surface and small underground magazines carrying 24 hours supply, safety manways, etc. Prior to the adoption of gates on cages and safety man-ways the records showed a constant percentage of acci- dents from these causes, which have now been eliminated.

II is difficult to comprehend the true
significance of the great war in which
this country is engaged, and 1t is still
more difficult to forecast coming
events. Among the facts that stand out
clearly, however, is the need of pres
ervatiOn of breeding animals on farms.
This is important to every nation.
Countries in Europe have been forced
to tap this supply heavily, SO great
has been the demand for meat and fats.
This country's duty Is to husband its
fundamental resources, such as its
breeding stock, to meet the unprece-
dented demands Of the future. The
worlds supply of meats, fats, wool,
and leather has been rapidly disappear
ing. The needs will increase as the
war progresses. And after the war,
breeding stock will be in demand for
restocking the wasted herds and
tl0cks. The farmer will reap a ben
eft by conserving his breeders and by
selling, while the wal continues, stock
not fit for breeding but which has been
fed to the proper weight. Particular.
ly in the case of hogs, 1t is economy
not to market them when too young
and light weight.

KILLS ALFALFA PEST
Growers in Southwest Success
fully Control Worms.
Nearly 100 Per Cent Of Larvae De.
stroyed by Poisoned Bran Mash
Bait Distributed Evenly Over
the Infested Field.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Cutworms that have been proving
a serious pest to alfalfa growers In
many sections of the Southwest have
been successfully controlled by poison
ed bran mash, at a cost Of approx
mately 81 per acre, according to re-
ports of entOmolOgists of the United
States department of agriculture, who
conducted tests in alfalfa fields In
Arizona.
About 9S per cent Of the larvae were
killed by this treatment, and arsenate
Of lead seemed to be fully as effective
as paris green in the experiments. II
was possible to tell three days after a
field had been treated whether or not
the method was effective. The follow
ing is the standard formula for prepar-
ing poisoned mash for this purpose:
Fifty pounds wheat bran, 2 pounds
paris green or 4 pounds powdered ar
senate Of lead, 6 finely chopped or
anges or lemons. Bring the whole mix
ture to the consistency of a stiff dough
by the addition of low-grade mOlasses,
such as is used in cattle ~rations, adding
water when necessary. Distribute this
bait by ~broadcasting over the infested
field, taking care to sprinkle II thinly
but evenly throughout the field. In case
bran cannot be obtained readily, mid
dlings or alfalfa meal may be substi-
tuted.
With this mash distributed as direct
ed there is no danger of poisoning cat
tie or domestic animals that Craze in
the field where it has been placed. The
mash should be scattered in the field
Immediately after it is prepared. If,
however, 1t is left standing about the

skim milk, or buttermilk to drink.
Growing chickens kept on a good
range may be given all their feed in
a hopper, mixing six parts by weight
of cracked corn with one part Of
wheat and one part kafr corr In one
hopper and the dry mash for chickens
in another. In addition feed two
parts of the scratch mixture in the
form Of sprouted oats until the chick
n are three or four months old,
when dry whole oats can be used. The
beef scrap may be left out of the dry
mash and fed in a separate hopper, so
that the chickens can eat all of this
feed they desire. If the beef scrap is
to be fed separately it is advisable to
wait until the chicks are ten days old,
although many poultrymen put the
beef scrap before the young chickens
at the start without bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats,
alfalfa, or clover, but the best place to
raise chickens successfully is on a
good range where no extra green feed
is required. Fine charcoal. grit and
oyster shell should be kept before the
chickens at all times, and cracked or
ground bone may be fed where the
chickens are kept in small bare yards,
but the latter feed is not necessary
for chickens that have a good range.
