URGES CHECK OF
SPOTTED FEVER
STATE MUST MAKE EFFORT no
ERADICATE DISEASE, SAYS
DIR. COGsWELL
FOrty.eight Cases and Eleven Deaths
Last Year; Physicians Who Fight
Disease Take Their Lives in Their
Hands; Toll Of Professional Vic.
Tins.

Montana must take steps to check
the spread of spotted fever and to
determine its cause and cure, says
DR.. Cogswell. secretary of the state
board of health. Last year 4S per-
sons contracted the disease and IL
deaths resulted.
The first work done in the state
against spotted fever was started by
DR.. A. F. Longeway Of Great Falls"
said DR.. Cogswell. "Dr. Longeway
was the first secretary Of the state
board of health and interested scien-
fists of the University of Minnesota
in the disease. They made some inn
portant discoveries. Then he inter-
ested others and later the United
States public health service took .
hand.
II want you to understand, az all
of the men who go into this work
understand, that It is a dangerous
job. Among its victims were Rick
etts, McClintock, McRae, bacteriolo-
gists of the state board; and Just now
l have telegram from the Hamilton
laboratories that an assistant there
contracted the disease in his duties
and. although everything possible
was done for him, in a week he died.
In addition, one man working in the
New York laboratories contracted
the disease in his work and died.
These men were martyrs, and
there should be a tablet erected to
their memory in this state.
As yet there Is much that we do
not know Of the disease. We know
that 1t is contracted from the infect
ed wood tick. But we know that all
wood ticks are not infected. We must
find out where the wood tick gets
the disease.
"Some of the best professional
men are interested in the investiga-
tions, but it has not been so easy
to get the aid and help of the resi-
dents of the state. For many years
the attitude OF the people Of the Bit
ter Root valley, where it is most viru-
lent, was that all cases should be
hidden and that news of them should
be suppressed"
He said that the federal budget for
the work this year will be $4,000
and the state funds available will be
$4,000 for control. He emphasized
that the size of the problem will ne
cessitate adding to the forces Of in
vestigation II the disease is to be
curbed.

SOLDIER OF MANY
WARS IS TAYLOR


Among the Montana national
guardsmen in encampment at Fort
Missoula, there 10 at least one real
soldier Of fortune. He il Sergeant
John c. Taylor, now with the quar-
termaster detachment from Helena
and in charge Of the officers mess
ct camp. formerly . kings captain
In the British army and also veter-
IN Of the epanish-American war.
Taylor originally had started out
to become Q doctor and had complet-
Cd two years Of study in medicine
when the United States called for
volunteers to fight Spain. He en-
listed with the Nebraska troops and
crossed the Pacific.
He became q victim Of the wander
last and roamed the country until In
1914 the recruiting officers in Can
ada signed him up with the Princess
Pat" division. In May, 1915, he
was transferred as second lieutenant
to the Fourth squadron. Royal Flying
corps.
Taylor served two years on scout
duty and year and four months on
duty with bombing plane in the
Fifth army corps. During that time
he went through battles at Ypres,
Vimy Ridge, Plug STRAIT, Courtlow,
and the battle Of Loos. When he
left the army on June 10, 1919, he
was discharged as kings captain.
His decorations received during
the world war include the French
Croix de Guerre. Belgian Croix de
Guerre, Cross Of st. George (Rus-
sian), the British military medal and
the Royal Flying Corps medal. He
was twice wounded while in active
service.
Since the war Taylor has been
leading quiet and secluded life do
ing parachute drops and thrillers on
airplanes for the movies in Califor-
mia. He came to Helena recently
from there and the lure of the uni
form was too much to resist, so he
signed up for 'hitch" in the guard.

haps that is why all of his farming
operations are characterized by care
and thoroughness, and perhaps that
Is why his place bears the unmistak-
able earmarks of thrift.
His first venture in sheep was
made in 1914 when he purchased ~
ewes as a foundation for his flock.
The only sheep he could find for
sale were some old and Gull ewes,
but they furnished start and since
that time he has kept about so stock
ewes over each year. He has not
attempted to enlarge his flock great
~ for fear of overcrowding his place
during years Of short feed. It Is a
modest flock, indeed, but it has
brought nice profit each year.
In spite of loss of other crops his
sheep have brought in a profit to his
farming operations. When drought
prevented his grain from filling, tho
straw was cut and provided good
winter feed for the flock. When
hail ruined his wheat, what was left
was saved for hay. And when ex-
ceptional drought caused a shortage
of feed, Russian thistles were har-
vested and turned into profitable
mutton and wool. For two years
McFarlane cut from Is to 80 tons
Of these hardy weeds and stacked
them green. Each spring following
his sheep came out fat: his ewes
LANDED 100 per cent and his clips
averaged 10 pounds per sheep.
But Tom Mcfarland does not de-
pend on Russian thistle or hail ruin
cd grain for his feed. Each fall he
stubbles about 100 acres Of winter
rye in on his wheat ground and thus
provides good spring pasture and
ether good hay or grain afterwards.
IT. addition to being a good hus-
bancman, Tom McF'arlane is a good
farmer. All his crops are planted
on ground that has been carefully
summer fallowed. Each year about
100 acres are summerfallowed. It is
plowed early in the spring and weeds

BATTERY COST
CUT WELCOMED

The general reduction Of the price of
storage batteries of standard makes was
started by the Prest-O-Lite Co., Inc, in
recent announcement which brings
the prices of all high-grade standard au-
tomobile batteries manufactured by this
company down to the lowest point that
motor car owners have known in sew.
eral years.
This last reduction in storage bat
terry prices will be welcomed by the
automotive public and is q further in
dictation Of the policy Of the Presto
Lite company to reduce prices as quick
ly as possible to a pre.war basis" says
Br. Brewer, manager of Brewers Serv-
ice Station. High prices of storage
batteries, at least as far as Presto
Lite is concerned, can take to a deep
hole and pull the hole in after them.
1T will be recalled that Prest-O-Lite
was the last manufacturer to increase
prices and the first to announce re-
duction. These new prices will apply to
all types and sizes and are for the pow
erful, long-lived Prest-O-Lite batteries
that are standard equipment on 81
makes Of motor cars and trucks"
