The Whole Works

A travelling salesman according to
an eastern exchange, visited small
town and sold the proprietor Of its
general store some merchandise.
When the goods arrived they were
not as represented and the merchant
consequently returned them. The
house attempted to collect the bill
and drew sight draft on the mer-
chant through the local bank, which
returned the draft unhonored.l The
house wrote the postmaster about
the financial standing Of the mer-
chant and the postmaster laconically
replied with an o. k.
BY return mail the house request
ed the postmaster to secure a lawyer
to collect the amount and received
the following reply:
"The undersigned is the merchant
on whom you attempted to palm off
your worthless goods. The under
signed is the president and owner Of
the bank to which you sent your

Good Dairy Herds

In view of the fact that it is be-
coming more difficult each year to
secure the right kind Of dairy stock
the most economical way for Ken
lucky farmers to build up a good
herd is to raise the heifers from the
best cows being careful to have the
calves sired by pure-bred dairy
bull, according to dairymen from the
College Of Agriculture. The prob
lem of feeding which is the most i'm
portant one in raising calves because
of the value of milk may be consid-
cred from two standpoints; first,
when whole milk is sold from the
farm and skinned milk is therefore
not available and second, when
cream is sold and skim milk is avail
able for feeding to the young ami
mails.
Three plans may be followed by
the farmer who has a market for
whole milk. The first is to give the
calves a good start on whole milk
and at the end Of two months put
them on a hay and grain ration.
The second plan is to give the calves
whole milk for two weeks and then

change to ration of calf Cruel or
milk substitute and third is to give
the calves the least amount of milk
required to promote normal growth.
If cream is sold from the farm
and skim milk is available the prob
lem of feeding calves is not as diff
ficult for experiments have shown
that good calves can be raised on
skim milk. In this connection the
earlier the calves are taken from the
COW the easier it will be to teach
them to drink from bucket. Some
dairymen never allow the calves to
nurse at all while others allow them
to stay with the COW for the first
ten days. The young calves should
be fed small amounts frequently.
Each calf should be fed individual
ly, the milk should be warm and the
pals kept clean and sweet in order
for this method of feeding to be
most successful. The feeding per-
iods should be regular and care TAX

calves are not overloaded.

Washington, ID. c.. Nov. 3.-How-

During practically the entire Sec

In the event of war on the Pacific or

personal opinion of Lord Northcliffe,,
expressed in an interview here last
Saturday with Japanese newspaper
men, who came to talk with him on
the question of the Japanese Treaty
of Alliance with Great Britain.
Replying to direct questions, LORD
Northcliffe said it was his belief that
should such a clash occur the whole
family of British nations would stand
beside America, just as the American
people had stood beside the British
in the still smoldering conflagration
of Europe. He added that 1t seemed
lnconceivable that any contingency
might arise to menace seriously the
invisible but impregnable bonds that
make the English speaking peoples one

by better sanitation, better housing
for the poor and through the instru-
mentality of sanitariums such as
Woodlawn. They can further re-
duce their death rate from this dis
ease by helping the Negro to reduce
his, because by doing 30 they will
be removing one of the sources
from which member of their own
race may become infected. This be-
comes at once apparent when we
recall the close contact in which
the two races come in their busi-
ness relations. If the cook, the nurse
the maid, the chauffeur, the porter,
the laundress are from homes in
which this or other communicable
diseases exist, the employer is liable
to infection from them. and. as
every doctor knows. are rot infre-
quently contaminated from this
source So, as a matter of self pro-
lection alone 1t would be to the ad-
vantage of the white people to as
sist the Negro in this matter, as
prayed for in this petition.
We understand that when Wood
lawn Hospital was opened for pa
tents in 1918, Negroes were ad-
mitted during the first few months.
We do not know why they were sub
seQuently debarred. We have been
unofficially informed that it was
a question of nurse; that it was re-
pugnant to white nurses and at
tendants to give to Negro patients
the close care and attention they
demand. We readily understand the
position taken by the nurses and
have no complaint or criticism to
make on that score. But in order to
overcome this obstacle as well as
for the best interest of all concerned
we. respectfully ask that Colored
nurses and attendants who are avail
able be employed to care for Negro
patients, should this petition be
granted.
During the administration of Hon
orable Joe e. Lawther, the Negro
Welfare Board presented a potion
similar to this, to the Board OF
Commissioners of Dallas and to the
County Commissioners. The petition
was endorsed by the City Board of
Health and was favorably comment
some delay due to the war, 1t was
finally agreed by the City and Coun-
ty Commissioners to baild a new
modern unit at Woodlawn for whites
and to use the old buildings vacated
by the whites for Negro patients.
The New building for whites has
been completed, equipped and is now
occupied, an still, for some reason
no provision has been made to take
care of Negro patients. in fact we
have been informed, the old build
ings are to be torn down.
Quite recently we saw ii stated
in the papers that the City of Hous-
ton and County of Harris are now
building unit at their tubercular
hospital for Negro patients. We feel
that the great City and County of
Dallas can find a way to do as
much for our group here, as espec-
tally since to do so would benefit
the entire community.
