TUBERCULOSIS IS
 EASILY PREVENTED,
 SAYS DR. HARRISON
Education important Factor In Fight Against Disease Com ments on Work of Anti
 Tuberculosis Association

Educating the people to rec ogniz e tuberculosis as a use- less disease and one which is easily prevented is one of the most important works of the Anti = Tuberculosis association of Jefferson county, according to Dr. w. G. Harrison.
 One of the original organizers of the association, and one who is taking an active interest in the campaign to raise s65,O0o for the work in Birmingham and Jefferson county, Dr. Harrison believes that no phase of the work is more inn portant than the educational. He points to the remarkable results which have attended the work of educating the pu- pills of the grammar schools as one of the most hopeful signs in the campaign for the eradication and prevention of the spread of tuberculosis
 In discussing the campaign which be- gins next Monday, December 6, and in pointing out the splendid results which have attended the efforts of the asso- citation, despite it's meager funds, pr. Harrison says:
 Among the more important services rendered by the Anti-Tuberculosis asso- citation in Birmingham and Jefferson county has been that of educating peo- pie to recognize the disease as useless and easily prevented. Formerly tuber- culosis was regarded as unavoidable. Now even the child in the third grade at school will tell you it is parasite Iiv- ing in damp and dark places. like the potato blight, and ready to attack the child who breathes poor air.
 With the discovery that five deaths in three different families had occurred in one house over on Avenue x from tuberculosis in four years, the associa- tion had the place cleaned up and ven tilated, and there have been no more deaths nor cases there.
 "On the walls of one room at the tu- berculosis dispensary is a map of Jef- ferson county with black-headed pin designating the place where each case of tuberculosis has been found and red pin designating each place where death has occurred. Everyone viewing the map has recognized the penalty of pow erty and ignorance.
 "Every visitor to a patient at the Red Mountain santarium and every patient visiting the dispensary has learned the simple essentials of healthful living pure air, well-cooked. plain food, modera- tion in all life's activities and pleasures. Every patient has become an apostle of good ventilation and convert to the open air.
 Probably the most hopeful and the most fruitful of all the activities of the association has been the campaign among the grammar school pupils. These little folk have learned quickly the value o1 the tooth brush, the open air, deep breathing, clean hands and pure water as aids to health. The results have been magical.
 ''The fight against tuberculosis affects every phase of our daily life, but in nc department has it's work borne more gratifying results than in teaching peo- pie how to live so as to avoid contract ing and to avoid spreading this and other diseases

 VOTING PRECINCTS
Chairman Morris Subdividing Precincts of the County Into
 Boxes of 300 Each

Work on the redistricting of the voting precincts of Jefferson county is progress sing, according to M. E. Morris. chair man of the board of registrars, who has charge of this work. This was made necessary by the enfranchisement of the women, which made the number of votes cast in each box at the general election, .feld November ?, far in excess of the limitations of the law enacted by the 1915 legislature. Each district, where mere than 300 votes are cast, according to the terms of this act must be sub divided by the board of revenue, as not more than 300 votes must be cast at one polling place.
 In some of the larger boxes more than was 500 and 600 in the majority of the populous sections. In many of the suburbs the vote was practically doubled which will call for approximately twice as many boxes.
 Mir Morris was appointed several weeks ago by the board of revenue to under take the redistricting of the county and Immediately started on hlS new uutleS. All precinct lines will be changed. ac- cording to MT. Morris. and new voting places established. To accomplish this it is necessary to give the matter much consideration, he stated, and to ar range it so qualified electors will be re- quired to vote at the polling place near est to their homes.
 A ltynv nt c chairman of the board of registrars ex- poets to visit every precinct before mak- ing any changes. In some of the larger precincts it will be necessary to sub- divide the voting districts and the num- Der of boxes will be doubled what it was prior to the adoption of the suffrage amendment.
 This work will require several months, MT. Morris stated, and he expected to complete it as early as possible

Still Time to Make Garden

The unusually cold wet spring has
set back gardeners very seriously, but
there is still time TO plant some vege.
tables, according to J. T. Rosa Jr.
OF the University Of Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture. High prices and
the reduced planting Of vegetables
make this late planting all the more
important. Some profitable crops TO
plant before the first Of July are: Snap
beans, sweet coin. late tomatoes, late
cabbage, cucumbers, beets and other
root vegetables. When seed is plan
ted at this late season, the termination
will be better il the seed is soaked in
water over night before planting.
Late planted vegetables must be care.
fully cultivated, and irrigated whenever
possible. Water is the big factor in
growing vegetables in summer. Two
crops which should be planted now to
produce late summer and fall green's
are Swiss chard and New Zealand spin
ach, as these vegetables are quite resis-
ant to heat and drouth. Sweet po-
tatoes may yet be set out, preferably
on sandy or loamy soils. Late Irish
potatoes may be planted about the first
week in July in central Missouri.
In August, several vegetables can be
planted for fall and winter use. Kale
and spinach are suggested for fall and
winter greens. Leaf lettuce and Chi.
nese cabbage for salads. Turnips,
ru.abagas, beets and carrots are root
crops which can be stored.

Soils Tested Free for ACidity

The department OF soils Of the Uni.
versity Of Missouri is carrying on a
campaign 10 learn how much acid soil
there is in Missouri. They are testing
for acidity all samples sent in By farm
ers, free, and making a complete re.
port as TO how much lime is needed.
In cases where soils are very sour in
formation is being sent the farmers as
to how much lime should be applied,
where it eau be secured and at about
what price. The only requirement that
is made OF farmers in having their soils
tested that they take the sample care
fully. This is best done by using a
spade and taking a sample Of the sur.
face seven inches deep in three or
four places in the field which they
wish tested, mixing these samples thor.
oughly and sending hall pound Of the
mixture in a clean box or can.
The difficulty which farmers have
been having in growing red clover in
Missouri is partly due to soil acidity.
Every farmer who is interested in get.
ting better stand OF clover should
have his soil tested for scidity.
