s45 Deaths From Typhoid.

For the same period DR.. S J. Crum-
bine secretary of the state board of
health showed S45 deaths from ty-
phoid and 1885 deaths from tuber
culosis in 1912. For 1921 the deaths
from typhoid were 153 and from tu-
berculosis, 77S.
Secretary Mohler shows an average
loss of ESQ, $50 head of livestock from
disease each year for the ten year pc
riod. The financial loss averaged
$S,198, $50. Loss of horses during the
ten years amounted to a total of S2S.-
100000; swine, S23.0OO. 900; cattle,
S1S.710.000. and milk cows. SS.425. 900.
While the decrease in the loss of
livestock may be partly ascribed to
the absence of any extensive outbreak
of disease. it is believed to be mainly
on account of quickened public knowl-
edge of the ills of livestock and meth
DDS of prevention and control thru
sanitation and more intelligent care" :"
says Secretary Mohler. This knowl-
edge is largely due to the great ad-
vancement of veterinary science in
recent years"

Fire Starts From Explosion Of Chem

Blue Prints. w.,

Washington, D. c., May 3. = The
United States Treasury-the world
greatest money storehouse-was at
tackled by fire of mysterious origin
early today. A portion of the roof
was destroyed and the damage is es-
timated at 100000. This is the fifth
strange fire to break out in Wash
ington, recently. Flames forty feet
high shot off the roof following the
explosions of chemicals used in max
ing treasury blue prints. 1t was de-
MED that the chemicals were used in
testing bootleg liquor. The glare of
the flames aroused President Harding
who watched the fire from the White
House, as sparks dropped into the
grounds of the executive mansion. A
detachment of marines held back the
crowd. The fire damaged the new
superstructure being built to give the
department more room. No securi-
ties were reported to have been de-
stroyed.

talk on the work of the Municipal

with many musicians in the country

WEST WON'T BELIEVE H.
NEW YORK'S BOAST TRUE

Eastern papers generally agree
that deal has been made between
the New York opposition and the
South and the Southwest, to defeat
the St. Lawrence proposition, in con-
sideration for support given to the
increase in rivers and harbors appro-
priation by New York.
The first statement apparently was
in the Providence, R. l., Journal, APP
ril i: Evidences are at hand indi-
eating that somewhat loosely form
ed alliance, including New York and
New Jersey, the South, and the Miss
issippi valley, has been established to
beat the St. Lawrence project" The
deal was defined as an exchange of
support for the rivers and harbors
appropriation in return for assistance
in defeating the new waterway.
The Christian Science Monitor, of
Boston, April 8, described it as a bloc
to defeat the proposition. "The ba-
sis of the deal is that the solid dele
cation from New York (and others),
will support large appropriations for
river development, i'm return for votes
against the St. Lawrence plan"
The New York Sun Of the same
date, under the Blunt heading, est.
Lawrence Ship Canal Killed." says,
Eastern members of House give the
South 15,OO0,0OO and split farmer
bloc". e..
By that time, the report was in
general circulation, and local papers
like the Kingston Leader and the
Watertown Standard were describing
| it in similar, terms: A neat deal be-
tween Eastern and Southern mem
bers" by which Tin consideration OF
the additional appropriation, south
]erners viii vote against the St. Law
renee"
Western papers report that New
York has attempted to make such q
deal, but are not as ready to concede
that it has been executed. The Du.
luth Herald says, "We refuse to be.
lieve that the South is purchasable
We confidently expect the high sense
of honor of the chivalrous South t
resent and repudiate the loudly voicec
brag that it has been bought with 8
price, and that the price has led it t
betray the interests of its associate:
in the North"
