ERADICATION OF SHEEP SCAB
Comparatively Easy to Reduce infec-
ton to Point Where 1t Ceases
to Cause Bio Loss.

With our present knowledge of and
experience in sheep-scab eradication
work it. is comparatively easy to re-
duce the infection to a point where it
ceases to cause economic loss, but the
complete eradication Of the parasite
over such vast areas is problem re-
quiring patience and diligence. Where
the eradication work is supervised by
a well-organized force Of trained field
men, the percentage of infected focks
can be reduced very rapidly until it
reaches a fraction Of per cent; but
to reduce that fraction to zero re-
quires very careful and systematic
work, with the full cooperation of the
sheep owners. As soon as the disease
is reduced to a point where the eco
nomic loss is little or nothing, many
sheep owners lose sight Of the i'm
portance of continuing systematic eff.
forts for complete eradication. It is
necessary, however, for the protection
of the sheep industry that the efforts
be continued until the pest is COM
pletely eradicated.

they keep buried and nrw ones are
made each year. This nation in par
ticular has one odd custom IN connec-
ton with it's idols. The shell Of an
egg is taken and being broken into
seven pieces it is wrapped in seven
pieces Of cotton cloth. Along with
this are seven pieces Of bark, red and
blue feathers and seven grains of corn.
These charms, bound together are
placed, one at each corner of every
persons tract of land. This will as
sure bountiful harvest and will also
secure the Indians from injury from
their personal enemies. am not sure
if all the nations have the same gods.
as I know only 100000 of the tribe.
"rhere are seven gods worshipeu
and the eagle, the tiger, crocodile, par
rot and serpent are among them. The
live animals are worshiped, and the
images made are buried, as the peo-
pie Of the tribe are ashamed to have
strangers know of this form Of wor-
ship.
Village Has Special God.
Il was shown q number Of the al
tars upon which sacrifices to the seven
gods were offered. Every village has
the seven gods, but each village has
in addition one as special god. 1t
is said in Chichotla that in the church
there is trained serpent and this Is
the chief god of the village. The peo-
pie who constitute the nation have a
reverence for the serpent which Is
not shown toward any Of the other
gods.
Another thing which I found was
of especial interest, and this Is the
fact that every family must have a
black dog. The reason for this GUS
tom, given by the tribe, is a. very
curious one. It is the belief of the
people of this nation that wlsSn they
die, to reach the promised land they
must first pass through large river.
A person of his own accord cannot
get across unaided. The legend is
that only a black dog has the power
to pull the member Of the family
across the river and then it is neces-
sary for the person to hold tight to
the dogs .ail.
"Along with this foregoing peculiar
notion there is another, which Is a
firm belief and custom as we'll among
this nation, practiced on the birth OF
a child. At this time the father
strews ashes all around the house and
the first animal that passes over the
ashes will be the protector Of the
child. When the animal dies the child
also will die"

Of that day have long since been gath
cred to their fathers. Adams in the
National league and Walter johnson
in the American are the two remain
ing stalwarts Of the departed genera
ton of big league pitchers. Johnson
is tottering, but Adams displays no
signs of wearing out.
Adams joined the Pittsburgh team
in 1907. Two years later he pitched
the Pirates into worlds champion
ship which was holly contested by the
Detroit Tigers. A few years later he
dropped to the minors, but built up
such an impressive record there that
he was recalled by the Pirates three
years ago. Today, he is the best
pitcher on the Pittsburgh staff after
warm weather sets in. He still has
plenty of stuff and knows how to use
1t to the best advantage.

Babe AdaIas is the most remarkable

years ago.
But here he is still in the flesh
though there is more Of it clinging to
his frame than there used to be-and
still around shaking a mean arm and
shutting out National league teams.
Ten or twelve years ago Adams,
Mathewson and Brown were the three
crack pitchers Of the National league.
In those days the Pirates, Giants and
Cubs always operated in the first divi-
sion.
Brown faded out seven years ago.
Mathewson passed out a little later:

pie of large proportions, are very
handsome physically, generally good
laborers, and intelligent. They live
in small straw or temporarily erected
huts and houses, each having only one
room, and although some of the peo-
pie are quite wealthy in their sphere,
all follow the same rules in living and
in their labors. The boys are obliged
to do hard farm work at a very early
age and they are made to carry great
loads of fruit on their heads from the
time they are six and seven years Old.
This, they say, is necessary in order
that they may become strong and
healthy, and so that they can do the
work Of men when they are grown.
"This nation Of Indians still speaks
it's native and ancient language in
some ten or twelve different dialects.
The language is very soft and pleas
ant and agreeable to the ear, and it
is easy to learn. I studied the Ian
guage with my servant, Zap0tecan
from Taba, in the district of Villa
Alta, Oaxaca. If any nation Of In
dams in this republic is to have a
social and political future it will be
the nation Of Zapotecas. Benito
Juarez, the famous Mexican reformer,
was a Zapotecan and was born in
Zuelotao, near Italian, in the noun
tains Of Oaxaca.
"The question of the origin Of the
Mazatecas is one of the most inter-
esting and difficult problems. find
that, for instance, this nation when
closely questioned says that in old
en- times they came from the North,
but they were unable to tell from what
part of the great North they first
marched. They have legends which
are to the effect that they passed over
the Colorado river, and when they
came to Mexico they settled first In
the state of Vera Cruz, where they
had repeated battles with the Aztecs,
the founders of Mexico City. In these
battles the Mazatecas were driven
over toward the eastern coast, in the
state of Vera Cruz. This country has
been held by the once powerful ma
ton until this day. The people are
decidedly interesting to study.
"Up until few years ago they had
kings, but Of recent years they are
without q ruler. The nation numbers
$4,000 people. They are getting to be
wandering people, inasmuch as they
travel to many parts of the isthmus,
where they are employed on planta-
lions. During the times that they are
employed on plantations many of
their towns and villages are entirely
deserted.

Years

You were taught at school
that your body undergoes Il
complete change of structure
every seven years.
This tearing down and build
ing up process of body tissue
continues without a moments
pause throughout life.
And when a man gets into a
physical condition that the tis-
sues keep breaking down and
wasting away faster than Ma
ture can replace them, right
then he begins to grow "old'.
This doesn't necessarily
mean, however, that he has
reached an advanced age.
Thousands upon thousands of
people begin to break down,
their vital organs giving evi-
dence of fast approaching de-
cay, long before they reach
middle age simply because
they fail to give Nature, at
the proper time, the needed
help to rebuild.
lfyou are beginning to show
the slightest sign of a physical
"let-down"-if you are losing
your old time pep" vim and
