she had only three rooms In her
house she would have one designed
and furnished as a nursery. She had
found Il so difficult In bringing up
her little brood to have to get along
with no room that was really suited
for this purpose.
Truly the tasks Of caring for chill
dren, may be made much lighter in
the house that has a well arranged
nursery. and in these days when so
many women have to dispense with
the services of nursemaids there is
every reason why we should derive
what help we can by well arranged
nurseries and the proper equipment.
The nursery need not be an expen-
sive proposition. It should be q room
that receives some time in the day
the direct sunlight. and for this rea-
so.l It ought to have a partly south
ern exposure. It should open by
means Of separate door onto the

Object Lesson in TB. Control.

The District of Columbia is an ex.
cellent example showing that bovine
tuberculosis is vulnerable to a def
mite campaign of eradication. The
report of the Chief of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry, United States De.
partment of Agriculture, gives the
following striking percentages: In
1907 tuberculin testing in the DIS
trict was undertaken and more than
IS per cent of the cattle were found
to be tuberculous. Tests made in
1919 on all cattle in the District
showed a percentage of only 0.63 o.
per cent affected. This is lower
than any previous year and the dis
posal of the last reactors makes the
District practically tuberculosis
free area.

The militarists in Congress

The militarists in Congress re-
ceived jolt on Monday, when their
scheme to Prussianize the United
States by compulsory military train
ing was practically killed before it
got a good running start. The
House Democrats in caucus went on
record as opposed to universal Mill
tary training by vote of LOG to H..
"It is the sense of this caucus"
declared the resolution, adopted by
the Democrats, that no measure
should be passed by this Congress
providing for universal compulsory
military service or training"
Though not binding on the Demo-
cratic membership of the House, the
caucus decision was interpreted by
Representative Caldwell, of New
York, who led the fight against the
caucus's action, as precluding the
possibility of universal training be-
ing incorporated in the army reor-
ganization bill that will soon be
brought before Congress.

Senator Kenyon insists on the
farmer going into politics. He
should be active and alert and never
allow, says the Senator, any man to
get into public Office who has not an
intelligent conception of the import
ance Of agriculture. If the calling
of agriculture is profitable, all other
legitimate callings will produce in
the main, satisfactory dividends.
Were the farmer in politics as he
ought to be, no union labor whip
would be snarling this way and that
in the House of Representatives.
The farms Of the nation produce
more than wheat and cotton-the
yield men who take pride in the
simple virtues of patriotism and in
tegrity. They are, indeed, the corner
stone of our civilization, and their
energetic participation in public
affairs is not only wholly desirable,
but is actually necessary to the con-
tinued development and progress OF
the nation.

Teachers Wanted In Philippines.
One hundred and fifty American
teachers are wanted by the Philip
pine government within the next
three months. The general entrance
salary is $1,000 year with bonus
of Is per cent and an assurance of
at least two annual promotions for
satisfactory service. Teachers with
exceptional qualifications will be en-
ployed at higher rates. Two year
contracts are required, and trans
portation and travel expenses from
home to Manila are paid by the
Philippine government.
Teachers of high school subjects,
especially English, are in greatest
demand. Five primary specialists
for normal school work, several COM
mercial teachers, a number of agri-
cultural instructors, and men trained
in physical education are also want
ed. Applicants should be prepared
to begin work in the Philippines with
the opening of the school year in
June, 1920.
In making this announcement the
Philippine Press Bureau called at
tention to the fact that the appropri-
alton making the opening OF many
new schools in the Philippines pos
sible, was made by the all-Filipino
legislature and that the Filipino peo-
pie pay all of the expense of the
educational system in the islands.
The hiring of teachers is being
handled through the Bureau OF In
sular Affairs, War Department,
Washington, d. c., and the United
States Civil Service Commission, DR..
w. w. Marquardt, former director
of the Bureau of Education of the
Philippine Islands and at present
Philippine Educational Agent for the
United States, is in charge OF the
work of making the selections.

a tour of the United States, looking
out for the best educational talent
that he can find.

HOW TO AVOID INFLUENZA.

In view of the increasing number
of cases of influenza in various sec
lions of the country the Department
of Public Health desires to outline a
few simple rules for the guidance of
the public in order to avoid a pos
sible spread of the Infection:
DON'T congregate in crowded
places, especially where the ventila-
ton is bad.
DON'T fail to ventilate the bed
room. Open the windows partly
from the top and partly from the
bottom. Fresh air is good germi-
eide.
DON'T cough or sneeze without
using a handkerchief. Infection
may be carried to others If this
measure is not adopted.
DON'T spit on the sidewalks or in
public places.
DON'T use common drinking cups
or common towels.
DON'T fail to protect yourself
from exposure to wet or cold by
suitable clothing.
DON'T treat cold yourself. Call
your family physician to make the
diagnosis and to prescribe treatment.
The patient should occupy the sick
room alone, and should be isolated
from others in the household.
DON'T go to work if you have a
severe cold.
Employers should send home
those who have suspicious symp-
toms of influenza.

U. s. Must Cease Using Old Units OF
Vast Trade will BE Lost.


The question of measures seems to
be very important matter in Latin
American trade. This is being EN-.
phasized in Washington in govern
ment circles. Instances multiply
where persistence by commercial
houses and others in using the pres
emit obsolete weights and measures
have not anly caused embarrassment,
but even prevented trade develop
ment.
An instance is cited from Lima,
Peru, where an American firm which
neglected to submit it's invoices in
metric terms was saved from the
confiscation of its entire shipment
only after strenuous efforts by the
United States commercial attache at
that port.
A bulletin by the Latin-American
division of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, in discussing
the necessity of the metric system in
Latin-American trade, says that "the
present lack of uniformity in the old
weights and measures used in Latin
America constitutes one of the chief
reasons for the extension of the
metric system in that part of world.
1.-The recognized advantages OF
uniformity and simplicity possessed
by the metric system and the i'm
petus already given it in Latin
America by its official adoption
make it the logical successor of the
numerous and varying systems that
must inevitably yield to definite
standards with the expansion of
trade and the resulting improvement
in communication.

Many unsophisticated gentry are
